Gondola cable breaks, woman rescued

He made it to the beach successfully and was able to call 911 at about 3 p.m. But while help was on the way, Sheila’s ordeal was far from over as she would spend another two hours trapped on the bluff.

The first emergency responders arrived within minutes but cliff rescues are irregular and complicated events, said Ed Hartin, fire chief for Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue. It took time to determine the best way to save Sheila, get all the needed resources on scene, and then perform the actual rescue.

“This is a low frequency, high-risk type of event so we

A judge reduced the bail last week of an Oak Harbor Cub Scout leader accused of raping and molesting boys, but the defendant hasn’t been able to bail out.

Attorney Sharon Fields of Mount Vernon successfully argued during a hearing in Island County Superior Court last week that bail should be reduced for her client, 30-year-old Anthony Polubinski.

He’s accused of molesting and raping boys; four possible victims have been identified, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. That’s up from one when Polubinski was arrested last month.

Fields stressed that there’s no evidence Polubinski molested boys he met through Cub Scouts, which investigators feared at first. She said a judge’s decision to set his bail at $500,000 was an overreaction.

“Things got a little blown out of proportion at the getgo,” she said.

The attorney said a friend had offered to let Polubinski stay at his 40-acre property near Darrington, where he can work chopping wood.

There are no children nearby or internet access, but electronic home monitoring would be available.

“It’s sort of a mountain man existence,” Fields said.

Eric Ohme, senior deputy prosecutor, argued vigor-

ously against a change in the bail. He said Polubinski poses a very significant flight risk because he’s facing a possible sentence of more than 20 years in prison.

“Sending a man facing that kind of time to live like a mountain man seems like a very bad idea,” he said.

Nevertheless, Judge Alan Hancock reduced Polubinski’s bail to $75,000 and ordered that he make arrangements for electronic home monitoring --- at his expense --- before leaving jail.

Prosecutors charged Polubinski April 30 with child molestation in the first degree, 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.

If convicted of the current charges, Polubinski could face from 17.5 years See victims, A4

A Greenbank couple suffered a horrendous ordeal Sunday when a gondola they were riding on broke part way up a 75-foot cliff.

The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. at Bob and Sheila Chidsey’s North Bluff Road home. The couple was returning from a beach walk and were in the gondola that connects their high-bank home to the shoreline when the unthinkable happened.

About halfway up the cliff and without warning, one of the two cables the car rides on snapped.

“It was instantaneous,” said

Bob, recalling the loud bang of the cable breaking.

“It was absolutely terrifying,” Sheila said.

Fortunately, the gondola’s emergency braking system appears to have kicked in and the platform was able to settle against the bluff in such a way that the Chidseys didn’t tumble to the beach below.

While neither were seriously injured, the couple was stuck more than 35 feet above the ground with no way to call for help. With few options, Bob decided to scramble down the cliff himself.

“I kinda rappelled down the cables,” Bob said.

Students put on the ritz. A11.

Oak Harbor school board stalls on setting levy figure

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

While the Oak Harbor School Board members choose a final levy amount to propose to voters in February 2013 as they had planned, they did hear requests to use levy funding to add back the 30 minutes that was cut from middle school days this school year, an issue previously left unvoiced among the many speakers asking for special education, nurse and library positions and other topics during the recent series of levy discussions.

The board had hoped to make a decision on the levy at the April 30 meeting but after a discussion that lasted until 9 p.m., when the board moved to lengthen the meeting further, board members decided they’d need more information before making a decision.

The board now plans to approve a levy proposal at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 14.

The draft levy proposes a rate of $1.83, which would bring in $7.85 million including state levy match funding.

Even with this levy that doubles the current local levy, Oak Harbor schools would still receive half of what nearby schools receive, said Rick Schulte, superintendent.

Board members discussed raising the amount, although a few of the members were hesitant to surpass asking

voters for $2 per thousand of assessed value.

Board member Gary Wallin said he’d be happy to see the board ask for more than $1.83.

“Shoot for it. If we don’t make it, come back with a second, lower level,” Wallin said.

“Sending that message (of passing a $1.83 levy) to the community will take an army, an absolute army,” said Christine Cribb, board member. She added that she thinks the community will be supportive once they understand the school district’s

Hunt, school board member.

The board decided to include nurse and librarian positions, special education funding and restore the 30 minutes back to the middle school day on the levy proposal.

Thirty minutes was cut from the middle school day this school year due to state funding cuts that eliminated 10 teaching positions. This eliminated a study period for student enrichment or extra help.

Removing those 30 minutes lessened the school year by 55 hours.

‘Shoot for it. If we don’t make it, come back with a second, lower level.’

needs, just as they support the Relay for Life fundraiser to fight cancer.

It was obvious that teachers supported the levy as a sizable crowd of educators wearing their red “I teach Washington” shirts lined the back of the room.

In order to balance needs and wants, the school board decided to remove all-day, everyday kindergarten from the levy proposal. It sends mixed messages to add a new program when the levy is meant to restore some of the programs and positions that were cut, said Peter

Family Dermatology Co. 205 S. Main St., Building B, Coupeville

As school board members discussed adding the 30 minutes back to the middle school day --- which could cost up to $450,000 to bring back six to eight teaching positions --- they opened the discussion for public input, which came mostly from paid staff.

“We continue to be just that much below state average,” said Dwight Lundstrom, Oak Harbor High School principal. Lundstrom said he needs students to begin high school better prepared.

Ray Cone, assistant principal at North Whidbey Middle School, said that cutting the middle school day reduced teacher preparation time, meaning they no longer have time to meet with parents and have a difficult

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

At a school board meeting April 30, Shanna Lundstrom, North Whidbey Middle School teacher, told the school board that she isn’t sure how much longer she and other middle school teachers can work with the shorter middle school day and requested that the 30 minutes that were cut be added back by levy funding. time meeting with other teachers. Alice Mikos, Oak Harbor Middle School librarian, attested that her diminished preparation time isn’t helpful and she has no time to meet with parents.

“It isn’t prep. That’s a joke.

I can’t take more cuts. I need help,” Mikos said.

“All I can say is my heart

would really sink if you didn’t add back that 30 minutes,” said Shanna Lundstrom, North Whidbey Middle School teacher.

Not only does she have less time to spend getting to know her students, but the lack of a break during the day makes her feel grouchy by the last period of the day

and doesn’t allow her any time to communicate with parents, she explained.

The school board will continue the discussion at their regular board meeting set for 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 14 in the district office, located at 350 S. Oak Harbor St. For more information, call 279-5000.

I left my kidney in Vancouver, B.C. Mayor’s surgery scheduled for Monday

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is taking time off work earlier than expected in order to donate an organ to a Canadian.

Dudley had been planning to leave work for about three weeks late this summer to

go under the knife. But the man who needs the kidney isn’t doing well and doctors moved the surgery ahead to May 14.

Dudley has gone through a battery of tests since deciding to donate his kidney to a stranger about a year ago. He will be traveling to Vancouver General Hospital in British Columbia Thursday to undergo last-minute exams.

“I may get the chance to finally meet him,” Dudley said, referring to recipient

Philip Rosario, a 37-year-old small business owner. “I’m really excited.”

Dudley said he had long considered becoming a kidney donor. His family has a history of polycystic kidney disease; the genetic disorder claimed both of his grandmothers and an aunt, and afflicted an uncle as well.

Fortunately, Dudley is free from the disease.

Dudley was on a trip visiting chapters of the Rotary Club when he heard

Rosario’s wife, Keesha, tell members that her husband is dying from polycystic kidney disease and needs a kidney donation. On the spot, Dudley decided to give one of his kidneys to the man.

Dudley said the operation should take about three hours and, if all goes well, he should be released from the hospital May 18.

“I should be out of commission for probably three weeks,” he said.

Dudley will miss one coun-

cil meeting while he’s lying in bed. He plans to attend a May 30 workshop about parliamentary procedure.

“They can wheel me in and make sure I’m highly medicated,” he said.

Dudley said he should be back in action, gavel in hand, for the June 5 council meeting and a June 7 special meeting to discuss councilmembers’ proposals to ban the wearing of hats in council chambers and to change the public input time on the

Mayor Scott Dudley agenda.

“It should be a packed house,” he said.

Detectives seek home invaders Suspect won’t

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Detectives with the Island County Sheriff’s Office are asking the public for help identifying three suspects who committed an unsuccessful home-invasion robbery in the Oak Harbor area just after midnight Tuesday.

Three masked burglars, one of whom was brandishing what appeared to be a handgun, forced their way into a Wedgewood Way home and threatened the four occupants, who were all men in their 20s, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

But then things didn’t go well for the burglars.

When a suspect struck one of the men with the handgun, the victim realized that it was a plastic BB gun and began fighting with the suspect. The other occupants fought back as well, forcing the suspects to flee from the residence and leave the scene in what

is described as a gold-colored Buick or Oldsmobile, according to the sheriff’s office.

The intruders left the BB gun and a baseball cap behind in the melee. The items are being sent to the state crime lab for DNA processing and analysis. One of the occupants suffered minor injuries from being struck with a flashlight.

“At this time it is unknown what the suspects were after in the residence. It also appears that this specific residence was targeted and not a random selection,” the press release from the sheriff’s office states.

The three suspects were described as a white male approximately 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-8 with medium build; a black male approximately 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-9 with medium build; and a black male approximately 6-foot-3 with a thin build.

a public input process and the extra burden of work such a measure would put on the Island County Auditor’s Office.

Since she first asked for input last week, the commissioner said that she’s seen “overwhelming support” for the futures fund. She estimated that she’s received about 30 communications from people who value the program.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson is seeking feedback from the public about the Conservation Futures Fund.

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 every year. It’s an optional tax authorized by the state.

Anyone with information as to the identity of these subjects or has information on the case is asked to contact Detective Ed Wallace at 6787968 or tips@co.island.wa.us.

A 58-year-old North Whidbey man is accused of accused of forcing his way into his ex-girlfriend’s house and trying to rape her earlier this month.

Prosecutors charged Paul Ducken in Island County Superior Court April 10 with first-degree burglary, attempted rape in the second degree and assault in the second degree, all of which were charged as domestic-violence related.

Ducken pleaded not guilty April 23. His bail was set at $25,000.

Ducken’s 39-year-old girlfriend reported that Ducken forced his way into her Coupeville home April 5 and tried to get her to leave with him. When she refused, he got angry and told her he wanted to have sex. When she refused, he attacked her, according to a report by Deputy Lane Campbell with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman claimed Ducken threw her on the bed and tried to remove her clothes. She fought him and started to scream, but he grabbed a pillow and held it over her face until she nearly passed out, the report states.

The alleged victim told the deputy that she was able to defuse the situation by calming Ducken down and he eventually left.

Campbell arrested Ducken at his motorhome on Frostad Road. He wrote that Ducken admitted to using methamphetamine, but he wouldn’t talk about the alleged assault, the report states.

If convicted of the charges, Ducken could face up to nine years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Three years ago, Ducken was charged in a similar case in which he allegedly broke into an ex-girlfriend’s home and tried to smother her with a pillow, court documents indicate.

gondola CONTINUED FROM A1 to hoist, rather than lower, Sheila to safety.

It was determined that pulling her up was safer due to the uncertain condition of the broken gondola.

While the team worked above, Navy Region firefighter Ian Paola rappelled down to Sheila and secured the frightened woman in a safety harness. Despite suffering from a natural fear of heights and a bleeding leg, Sheila kept her cool.

“She did really well; she toughed it out,” Paola said.

He was later joined by Oak Harbor firefighter Rich Cuevas and Whidbey General Hospital paramedic Chris Tumblin. The trio worked to affix Sheila to a stretcher and, in dramatic fashion, she was then hauled to the top of the cliff by a team of pulling firemen.

Sean Merrill, battalion chief for Navy Region, worked as the leader of the rope technical team. Once Sheila and his crew were all back and on top of the cliff, he said he was satisfied with how the rescue proceeded.

“It went great,” Merrill said. “We got the patient up safely, we got our people up safely and that’s all that matters.”

The Chidseys were also very satisfied with the rescue, offering many compliments to the participating fire departments. Sheila was especially grateful to Paola, Cuevas and Tumblin, calling them “fantastic.”

That’s not to say that there weren’t a few heart-stopping moments, however. There were points that were downright horrifying, she said.

Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services Firefighter Erik Andersen and a team of firefighters and emergency medical technicians work together to haul a Greenbank woman from the side of a 75-foot cliff. She was stranded when the gondola she was in broke halfway up the bluff.

“I’ve never been so terrified in my life,” Sheila said.

“I really thought I was going to die.”

According to Bob, the gondola was purchased in 2007 and has received regu-

lar annual maintenance ever since. He said he called the manufacturer and was told that they had never had that type of malfunction before.

Despite the experience, he said he would likely have the

to just over 23 years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said his office will likely charge Polubinski with additional counts related to other alleged victims.

The alleged victim, who is now 18, 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, which detectives confirmed from images on his computers.

Detective Price said investigators found images of a possible unidentified fifth victim.

Three finalists named to head Coupeville schools

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Three Washingtonians are vying to be the next superintendent of the Coupeville School District.

After meeting in executive session Monday night, the Coupeville School Board winnowed the 13 applicants down to three who will go through day-long interviews next week.

The finalists are Ron Franklin, superintendent of

the King’s Way Christian School System in Vancouver, Wash.; Rob Clark, director of federal and special programs for the Eastmont School District in East Wenatchee; and Clayon Mork, graduate instructor and interim field supervisor at Western Washington University.

The Coupeville School District is looking for a replacement for Patty Page, who is leaving the district at the end of the school year.

She accepted the superinten-

dent position of the North Kitsap School District.

Of the 13 people who applied for Page’s spot, seven of them had previous experience as a superintendent and six applied from out-of-state school districts.

The finalists will visit the school district on May 14, 15 and 16, with each spending a day visiting with administrators, students, staff and residents as well as being interviewed by board members.

The public will have a

chance to talk with each finalist during a forum scheduled each night. Those forums start at 6:30 p.m. and take place in the Middle and High School Commons.

Coupeville School Board president Kathleen Anderson said the board will meet in executive session on May 17 to hopefully choose a new superintendent.

“We’ve said all along we’ve wanted the right fit,” Anderson said.

Should the school board

decide not to offer the job to any of the finalists, then the school district will find an interim superintendent and restart the selection next winter.

Anderson does hope the school district will find success with its current search.

“We’re looking forward to an end of the selection process and we’re hoping we find the right candidate,” Anderson said.

‘Special inquiry’ judge to get Mayor Kwarsick case

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The Island County prosecutor’s review of Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick will be a criminal investigation and will include the use of a special inquiry judge.

According to Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks, the process to be used is outlined under the Criminal Investigatory Act, which was enacted in 1971 to serve law enforcement in combatting crime and corruption.

Banks, who is currently engaged in three murder trials and a separate review of Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon, confirmed that he will be leading the

investigation himself.

He also said the act did not require him to review the allegations against Kwarsick, but that he agreed to do so only at the request of the Langley City Council and after discussions with key people.

“Based on what I’ve been told, there is something worth looking at and there is the potential for criminal charges,” Banks said.

Kwarsick, who is a former Island County planning and public works director and is the current part-time planner for Coupeville, was just four months into his first term as Langley mayor when he became the subject of a whistleblower complaint.

It alleged that he altered previously completed planning documents for a family member’s home after he was hired as Langley’s planning director in early 2011.

The whistleblower, current Langley planning chief Jeff Arango, submitted the complaint to the council and it was reviewed in a series of four executive sessions at City Hall late last month.

The council released a statement Friday that said Kwarsick did in fact modify the planning documents but that the council was not qualified to determine if the act was a violation of law. Therefore, the body forwarded the issue to the prosecutor’s office for

further review.

Kwarsick has declined to talk about the specifics of the allegations but has maintained that he does not believe he will be held responsible for any wrongdoing. He has also vowed to cooperate fully with the prosecutor’s office and city council.

Banks said the investigative proceedings will include a series of closed-door hearings in which witnesses are subpoenaed and then interviewed in the presence of Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock, the county’s designated special inquiry judge.

Banks made it clear that this isn’t a trial and that Judge

Hancock will not issue a ruling once the process is concluded. Rather, at that time, the prosecutor will weigh whether or not to move forward with criminal charges.

The hearings are required to be conducted in secret and all the records of the proceedings are to remain sealed until released by a judge.

The prosecutor said he could not speculate on the outcome, what kind of charges Kwarsick might face, or how long the process might take. However, he did promise to make a statement once the investigation is complete, regardless of the outcome.

“You’ll know when I’m done,” Bank said.

IN OUR OPINION

Any man can be a predator When it comes to protecting children, organizations need to remember that any man can be a predator.

Certainly, we hear of women who commit sex crimes against youth, but men are far more likely to be the perpetrators.

This sad fact of life hit home over the last month when two Oak Harbor men were arrested for sexual abuse of boys. Both held positions of trust, on with the Cub Scouts and one with Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. It’s unclear early in the investigation if any Cub Scout was actually abused, and the initial charges against the church’s “middle school youth coordinator” include only one youth who attends the church, but police wouldn’t be surprised to find more victims in each case. Of course, one victim is one too many.

There is no single description that fits all male sexual predators, but all too often they are seen as nice guys, even loving guys, who devote much of their lives to “helping” children in various settings: Church, athletics and various other clubs and organizations that are meant to benefit youth. Many do not have police records, having intimidated past victims into not speaking up. In many cases, such as the recent church and Cub Scout arrests, people are shocked that the accused could do such a thing.

That’s why it’s important that organizations that cater to youth adopt ironclad policies dictating that no adult, particularly male, be left alone with any child for any appreciable amount of time. There should always be at least two adults present.

School, private and nonprofit counselors can tell parents the indications of sexual abuse in children, even if they initially won’t talk about it. There are ways to approach the subject, to ask questions, without frightening the child. Parents should speak frankly in an age appropriate way to their children about sexual abuse and make sure they feel comfortable reporting anything they suspect.

It’s hard to say if there is more sexual abuse of children today than in the past, or if there is just more reporting of it. Whatever the case, it’s past time for all responsible adults to do their part to put a stop to it.

Letters to the editor Slow growth, no new bridge

Dave Crawfold wants another bridge. Fortunately, our elected officials, in his words, run from him and won’t return his calls. God bless Reps. Barbara Bailey and Norma Smith!

Our lovely island is slowly but surely being paved and “built out.” In the 14 years I have lived here, I have seen lovely hills sprout houses and roads increasingly heavy with traffic.

There is probably no way to stop that process. We can, however, choose to keep it from running rampant so that we don’t quickly lose the beauty and unhurried pace that brought us here in the first place.

If we build a bridge to make it easy for people to get back and forth from Seattle, Seattle will quickly take over our island.

If we resist that tempta-

tion, we can delay the blight.

That’s the right choice. No new bridge, please!

Not much thought apparent It appears Commissioner Kelly Emerson (NewsTimes, May 5) gave as much thought and research to changing her voter’s registration address as she gives to the rest of the county’s business, and now she wants to manipulate the system by having her husband change his registration address and take her place in that endeavor.

Much as I would love to have voted against her, she needs to understand that the laws for her and her husband are not different from the laws that apply to the rest of us. Shame on her, she gives politicians a bad name. I hope she at

Pat Wallace Oak Harbor

Don’t blame someone else Voting for someone for public office requires more than checking a box for a political party, assuming they share your values and will represent you in the office they hold. Character in a public servant is vital.

You need to be able to trust, not just in what their qualifications for the job may be, but in how they will hold that office. I have a firm belief that one way to judge the character of a person is in how they treat their friends.

Phil Collier, a candidate for Island County commissioner, did not filed state required reports regarding campaign donations and expenditures. I was not upset by what may have

been a simple oversight but by the fact that Mr. Collier, when asked for a statement, replied that he had asked his long-time friend Oak Harbor attorney Chris Skinner to make sure he was filing the appropriate reports. He then joked, “I guess I’d better give Chris (Skinner) a tonguelashing.” (According to the Whidbey Examiner.)

When caught in a difficult decision, it is easy to blame someone else, but holding a public office is about taking responsibility for your actions and those who report to you.

Our current county commissioners, Angie Homola and Helen Price Johnson, have shown over and over again that they are not only extremely qualified for the positions they hold but are willing to take responsibility for the tough decisions they have made during their time in office.

Big hearted volunteers help homeowners

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Thanks to the enthusiastic help of dedicated volunteers, several homes throughout Central Whidbey are safer and nicer than they were before.

More than 100 volunteers participated in the annual Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers workday Saturday.

They spent the day clearing bushes, repairing decks, removing rotted wood and fixing plumbing on more than 20 homes located within the boundaries of the Coupeville School District.

For Kathleen Jones, Hearts and Hammers provided the help she’s needed to keep up with the maintenance she’s struggled to handle since she was diagnosed with MS two years ago.

“It’s become increasingly difficult to take care of my home and my yard,” Jones said as volunteers were busy removing blackberry bushes and fixing a fence.

The blackberry bushes had overgrown a large portion of Jones’ yard. So much so that volunteers uncovered a small tree when the bushes were removed. A fence that was knocked down during a recent winter storm had to be repaired and volunteers also removed an old shed.

Two homeowners at the Olympic View trailer court in Coupeville also received help. Volunteers replaced the stairs with new ones that wouldn’t be as steep while another team replaced the rotting wood of a mobile home’s carport.

Of the 22 homes that needed help, volunteers completed repairs on 20 of them.

Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers president Vickie

Chambers said the large volunteer turnout and the nice weather helped people complete Saturday’s work.

“We were blessed with good weather for a change,” Chambers said, noting that rain has plagued the workday over the past several years.

She noted that volunteers managed to paint a house, patch the roofs of three homes and install stairs for someone who is disabled.

As for the two projects that volunteers weren’t able toe complete, a volunteer will go back in the coming days to finish the work, Chambers said. They were both plumbing projects, and after starting the work, it turned out there weren’t parts available yet to get the job done.

Volunteers gathered at Living Home Foursquare Church to enjoy an authentic “Cinco de Mayo” inspired meal prepared by several of the homeowners who received help Saturday.

Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers patterned itself after the long-running South Whidbey Hearts & Hammers which also worked Saturday, fixing up approximately 50 homes.

With the Central Whidbey event completed volunteers will start planning for the 2013 work day. Chambers hopes that people will start looking for suitable homes early as the organization wants to help more people.

“We never stop looking for homes,” Chambers said.

Letters to the editor Men’s Chorus sells out What a privilege to have the Seattle Men’s Chorus return to Whidbey Island to perform a benefit concert for CADA. The Performing Arts Center at South Whidbey High School was alive with the music of The Beatles as the chorus members performed “Come Together.” And what a privilege to have our community “Come Together” as we work with the men, women and children who are victims of domestic and sexual abuse.

I’d like to thank my parents, too As my high school graduation draws near, I begin to think about all the people that helped me reach this goal.

First, I would like to thank Mrs. Wolfe because she has helped me a lot ever since I became a freshman here at Coupeville High School.

She helped me get through most of my CBA’s (classroom based assessment) I had to do for classes. She helped me study or I should say quiz me when I had an upcoming test.

Most of all she was there to help me think out loud about things I had to do. Like career options, how to do an assignment, and just motivate me.

Second, I would like to thank Sr. Mendes. He was a huge mentor for my senior project assignment that is a Washington State law requirement. He helped me with ideas on how to do certain things and plan stuff for me, like when an upcoming event was coming and the exact date to go. Pretty much I wasn’t the

only one planning it. I had help and it benefited me being you have to do this project in order to graduate.

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents, Avis and Donald Mitchell, for all their support and encouragement. They helped me get through high school. They were there for me when I needed help with homework projects or just advice. They knew my strengths and weaknesses and stayed by my side while being patient until I knew I got the point. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without their help.

to the Lions Club and the Whidbey Golf and Country Club, and was Chairman of the Island County Planning Commission. Chuck gave stock to the Oak Harbor High School to set up a scholarship fund and made a large donation toward building the new Oak Harbor High School Stadium.

Chuck coached an allgirls basketball team and took them to a championship; had a patent for a fishing lure; co-owned the Bos and Boyer Ford Dealership in town; made a hole-in-one in 1990 at the Whidbey Golf and Country Club; and was the Grand Marshal of the Oak Harbor Fourth of July Parade in 2007.

Chuck always said he lived in the best of times. He loved to go fishing and hunting and talked about the good old days when there were fewer regulations. The family enjoyed doing a lot of things together including hunting, fishing, trailering and going to the cabin Chuck built in Eastern Washington.

Chuck could fix anything.

After his daughters left home they would always call him and he would walk them through repairs. When the grand kids would call with questions on how to fix something they would be told “Call Grandpa” and sure enough he always had an answer for them. He was a great role model for all of his family and friends, the prime example of which was how he took care of his wife, Lorraine when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

His daughters, Chris Bos Kohl (Joe) of Seattle, Cheri Bos Barrett (Mike) of Camarillo, Calif.; five grand-

single plated the fourth run.

The rally ended on a controversial call and cost Oak Harbor at least one run.

Cory Cameron’s liner was snared on a diving catch by the Meadowdale center fielder; however, Oak Harbor thought the ball was trapped.

Dimitri Munoz started for Oak Harbor and “pitched great,” according to coach Tyson VanDam. Munoz had two outs in the fourth, down 2-0, with runners at the corners. A slow roller to short pushed in another run. Grant Schroeder took over on the mound and another roller to short and an error allowed two more runs to score.

VanDam said not charging hard enough on those two grounders proved to be the difference: “Those two mental mistakes might have cost us the game.”

Richter and Glavick each finished with two hits.

Taking advantage of a Coupeville (10-8) defender who slipped, CPC (10-43) fired a cross to Steven Dressler who scored with a powerful header from close range at the 16-minute mark, according to Coupeville coach Paul Mendes. The score was Dressler’s 20th of 2012.

Mendes said, “It was a hardfought, physical match…

They were a strong team, but we played them toe to toe, creating multiple opportunities of our own, especially in the second half. The game ended on an all out frantic effort in their goal mouth, with numerous saves and blocked shots, that ended with the final whistle.”

He added, “This has been a great group, that faced the highs and lows with outstanding senior leadership and team unity. They put together a fine run and I am quite proud of them.”

Coasting to a healthier Puget Sound

By MARIBETH CRANDELL

What do Sweet Rice Thai, Zorba’s and Frasers have in common? Besides the fact that all these Oak Harbor eateries serve good food, they now serve drinks on special coasters along with hundreds of other restaurants and coffee shops from Olympia to Bellingham. These coasters won’t be around for long.

There are four different coaster designs and no Oak Harbor

Maribeth Crandell restaurant has more than three. So to collect all four, you must visit more than one business. If you put a picture

of yourself showing a coaster on your Facebook page, and then “like” Puget Sound Starts Here on Facebook, you may win a prize.

These coasters were specially made for Puget Sound Starts Here month this May, which is a regional effort to raise awareness about storm water pollution. Drains inside our homes and buildings lead to a treatment plant. However,

A boy from Brazil who enjoys playing basketball, skateboarding and fishing, and he also loves music and plays the guitar.

A girl from China who is a warm-hearted, smart, sensible and tidy girl. She enjoys

school activities, swimming, bike riding, music and drawing. Her favorite subject in school is history.

A boy from Bolivia who is a competitive soccer player and also enjoys tennis, basketball and baseball. Science is his favorite subject in school.

A girl from Ecuador who is a happy girl; she loves to cook and try new recipes. She also likes to draw, paint, does gymnastics and shop.

A boy from Germany who is an A student and has an interest in biology and computer science. He enjoys boxing and

would like to play American football, baseball and surf while in the USA. Students come with good English skills, health insurance, their own spending money and mainly the desire to be a member of an American family. Families are asked to provide a bed and meals eaten with the family. Host families do not need to have teenagers of their own; young families as well as empty nesters are excellent hosts.

most of our outdoor storm drains lead to creeks, wetlands or directly to Puget Sound without treatment.

Everyday actions like washing a car on the street, using yard chemicals and leaving pet poop on the ground contribute to polluted beaches and waterways. When you consider the small amount that each of us contributes and multiply it by millions of people living in the 12 counties around Puget Sound, you begin to understand we have a big problem. Puget Sound may be sparkling and beautiful on the surface but a toxic soup is brewing down below.

According to the Puget Sound Partnership, there have been sharp drops in some fish populations and repeated closures of commercial shellfish beds. Storm water pollution threatens our fishing industry and impacts tourism that provides jobs and fuels our state economy.

These coasters are a way to start a conversation and offer simple tips on how to turn the tide on toxic storm water. Each of the four coaster designs asks a question on one side and gives the answer on the other. They suggest

Oak Harbor High School students are ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

It’s grand and it’s glitzy, like Broadway come to Oak Harbor. There will be dancing, laughter and favorites from Disney movies and popular musicals, and it’s all put on by Oak Harbor High School students in the choir program’s full-blown musical revue, “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

Buy tickets now for performances at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12.

Tickets are $12 to the show, held at Oak Harbor High School.

Directed by Darren McCoy, the show is sure to please with a variety of show tunes, movie songs and radio favorites.

“It’s amazing,” Katie McClimans, president of the choir club, said of the show.

This is the second year the students are putting on the show and it was a huge hit last year. Fifty-three students are involved, along with community members and parents.

“It’s been really cool getting questions around town,” said Sophie Marks, vice president of the choir club. When she’s out in Oak Harbor, people often recognize her from the many shows the choir program puts on for the community and excitedly ask about “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

“It’s not expected of high school choirs to put on shows like this,” McClimans said.

“Maybe a lot of kids in school say, ‘Oh, choir kids,’ or something, but people come out of shows awed. There’s really no limit to what we can do,” Marks said.

This is no ordinary concert. This is a full experience, with props, fancy costumes, food and a wide variety of music that the audience

will recognize and fall in love with. The audience is sure to know songs from the musical “Wicked,” tunes from the movie “Aladdin” and this year’s “cry fest” song, as McClimans and Marks termed it, “Lean on Me.” And the students are responsible for all of it, from putting together costumes to ordering the food. Student Mike Garon did most of the painting for the sets and the students have spent hours creating decorations and lighting, not to mention practicing, which is during zero period, the class held before the regular school day even begins.

“It’s put on by the students and it’s performed by the students,” McClimans said.

“It’s a mass amount of time but it’s so worth it.”

“We don’t really feel like we’re just a class; we’re a family,” Marks added. “We’ve worked really hard together.”

The proceeds from the show go toward funding next year’s choir club activities, including transportation, contests and “ways we can get out in the community more, so it’s benefiting everybody, not just us,” McClimans said.

The money will also fund a new show called “Cupid Song,” which will have a Valentine’s Day theme. Since that show may replace “Puttin’ on the Ritz” next year, the students said they don’t want the community to miss out on their chance to see “Puttin’ on the Ritz” this year.

“We really want them to come. It’s a good way for the family to come together,” McClimans said, adding that “Puttin’ on the Ritz” is child-friendly.

“It’s going to be a great show,” Marks added.

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

Liz Adkins and Tyler O’Dell sing and dance to a scene from the Disney favorite, “Aladdin.”

The revue also features a guest appearance by the An-O-Chords from Anacortes, who delight with their barbershop finesse.

Another treat for the audience will be a sneak preview of the widely anticipated zombie music video, “Thrill the Island,” filmed at various locations on Whidbey Island and based on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

During intermission, the audience will indulge in strawberry shortcake and chocolate fondue.

Tickets sold out quickly last year. Order tickets at ritzwillcall@gmail.com by including first and last name and number of tickets.

Auxiliary enjoys surge in Girls State applicants

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

Members of the American Legion Auxiliary are hoping a surge in applications from young women to attend Evergreen Girls State is a reflection of a growing interest in how the government works.

The Auxiliary awards two scholarships to Girls State each year. In the past, the group has typically received two or three applications for the annual event.

This year they received eight applications, prompting members of the Auxiliary to hold a small reception to meet each applicant in person, hopefully making the selection process a little easier.

“We’ve had some lean years,” Julia Dietz, Legion Auxiliary president, said of the number of applications in the past. “We hope this is the start of a turnaround.”

Evergreen Girls State is a nationwide leadership program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary.

This year’s program will be held June 10 through June

16 at Central Washington University in Ellensburg.

Young women live together as self-governing citizens during this time. There are 14 cities, four counties and two mock political parties at Girls State.

Each girl is assigned to a city and to a political party.

The parties are organized at the precinct level and continue through county and state conventions, where platforms are developed, candidates run for county and state office and general elections are held. After the election, officials carry out their duties.

“It’s an extremely busy time,” Dietz told the young women. “You get up early in the morning and you go until late in the evening.”

Seven out of the eight applicants were on hand for the reception, held April 25 at the American Legion Post in Oak Harbor. All the girls are in their junior year at Oak Harbor High School and all are interested in learning more about the workings of government.

“I thought this would really

“Our generation isn’t necessarily the next to be involved in the government, but the ideas expressed will eventually affect us,” said

17-year-old Ally McGuire. “I feel this experience will help a lot.”

Still others who applied have already set their sights on a political career and are looking forward to the experience offered by participating in Girls State.

“I hope to go into politics

and hold a national office someday,” said Carlie Kenny, 16. “I really, really want to get involved.”

For those chosen, the Legion Auxiliary will pay the $265 attendance fee and $70 for the bus trip to Ellensburg and back. Participants must still pay a registration fee of

$110.

Dietz said the Auxiliary is hoping to raise additional funds in order to send more girls.

Auxiliary members will make their choice by May 9.

76th commander leads the Grey Knights

By KATHY REED Staff Reporter

The Grey Knights of Maritime Patrol Squadron (VP) 46 continued a long tradition Friday on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. For the 76th time, leadership of VP-46 was passed from one commander to the next.

Capt. Peter Garvin, Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10, guest speaker for the event, lauded the men and women of VP-46 and their outgoing leader, Cmdr. James Jacobs.

“It has been a truly fantastic year for VP-46,” Garvin said. “How you conduct your daily business is as telling as the accolades you receive.

You have met every challenge and I have no doubt you will continue to excel.”

Kathy Reed / Whidbey News-Times

Cmdr. James Jacobs addresses the crowd during his change of command ceremony for Maritime Patrol Squadron 46, held Friday in Hangar 7 on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Garvin told Jacobs he had led America’s oldest maritime patrol squadron exceptionally well, and offered words of encouragement to incoming Cmdr. Christopher Kijek.

“Without a doubt, I know this squadron will thrive under your leadership,” he said.

Retired Vice Adm. Barry Costello, who presented the change of command address, also had high praise for Jacobs, whom he recruited to work for him during his time in the Navy.

“Hiring James Jacobs was the best personnel decision I made in 34 years,” said Costello. He went on to share several positive conversations he’d had with various Navy officials over the past several months regarding Jacobs.

“I say these things in reference to your commanding officer, because he would say his success is totally because of all of you,” Costello told the men and women of VP-46.

“To you, Grey Knights, well done — your reputation around the world is excellent.

“As one great commander moves forward, another steps up to the plate,” Costello continued. “Cmdr. Kijek is ready to step up.”

For his part, Cmdr.

Jacobs extended his thanks and appreciation to several people in the audience and on the podium, including Commodore Garvin, Vice Adm. Costello, Capt. Jay Johnston, commanding officer of NAS Whidbey Island and the officers and sailors of the Grey Knights.

“You are some of the finest Americans I’ve served with in 18 years,” Jacobs said. “VP-46 understands the meaning of mission. VP-46 understands the meaning of execution. VP-46 understands the meaning of hard

work and dedication.

“You all know what’s expected of you and you all know what to do,” he continued. “Now you just have to go do it. Remember, legacy is not gifted, or even earned, but built on excellence, teamwork and dedication. Work hard to continue the proud legacy of being the oldest and the best.”

With that, Jacobs read his orders, immediately followed by the Grey Knights’ new leader, Cmdr. Kijek, who also read his orders and then told the crowd he was honored to take the helm of VP-46.

“To the men and women who serve, there is no greater honor than to be your commanding officer,” he said. “The greatest nation on earth has entrusted me with its greatest treasure.”

In closing, Kijek said he would do everything in his power to continue to honor the legacy of the Grey Knights.

Sheen (not Charlie) prompts firefighter response

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

An oily sheen suspected of coming from a boat that has caused a headache for Port of Coupeville officials prompted a response from port staff and Central Whidbey firefighters.

The harbormaster arrived at the Coupeville Wharf

Sunday morning and noticed an oily sheen around the Carpe-Diem, a 37-foot sailboat the Port of Coupeville acquired and auctioned off last month.

Port Executive Director Jim Patton said the harbormaster called firefighters for assistance and they responded within 10 minutes.

In the meantime, the harbormaster and the port’s dockhand deployed an oil containment boom to surround the sheen. He estimated it covered between 20 and 25 square feet and the oil wasn’t thick or producing an odor.

“It turned out there was no leak from the Carpe-Diem,”

Patton said. He suspected that the occupants of one of the other vessels that had previously moored at the Coupeville Wharf may have dropped an oily rag into the water, which caused the sheen to appear.

The Carpe-Diem has been moored at the Coupeville Wharf for months after

its previous owner, Peter Driftmeyer, could no longer safely live on the vessel. Because of the mounting moorage fees, the Port of Coupeville took possession of the sailboat and auctioned it off in March. Alex Butowicz, of Olympia, submitted the winning bid of $1,251.

The sailboat still remained

moored at the wharf. Patton said Butowicz has since resold the sailboat to a couple from Canada.

He hopes the boat will be removed from the Wharf

by May 8. That’s when the moorage fees at the wharf increase to take advantage of the busy tourist season.

Students don’t waste their art skills on recycling contest See winning student art on garbage trucks

Madeline Lins, fifth grade, won a recycling art contest and sees her artwork on a garbage truck that visited the school. The three winners were from the Oak Harbor Christian School.

While all Oak Harbor elementary schools were invited to participate in an art contest to make signs promoting recycling for garbage trucks, the three winners are from the Oak Harbor Christian School.

Parents, teachers and fellow classmates gathered around to see the signs as three garbage trucks drove into the school parking lot in April.

The three winning students beamed as they posed for pictures with their principal, Dave Zylstra, according to a press release.

Look for their artwork in the mobile art gallery on city garbage and recycling trucks.

Winners are: Lindsay Inouye, first grade, with her art, “Don’t trash our earth;” Madeline Lins, fifth grade, with her art, “Stop throwing things away. There is no away;” and Jack Shapira, fifth grade, with his artwork,

MOTHER’S DAY IS MAY 13TH! OPEN SAT., MAY 12TH, 9AM-5PM & SUN. MAY 13TH, 9AM-1PM

“Recycle Man.” Artwork was submitted to Oak Harbor city staff, who voted on their favorites.

Cathy Rosen, public works director, and Maribeth Crandell, environmental educator, made the final decisions.

Artwork was chosen for its message, creativity and artist appeal.

Crandell also offers free classroom presentations for students in kindergarten through 12th grade that teach students how to reduce waste and recycle at school and home.

Examples of the handson classes Crandell teaches include Wonderful Worms, where students help set up a worm bin, Recycle Relay, where kids get a chance to sort trash and the Wheel of Waste, a game like Wheel of Fortune that can be used to test students’ knowledge.

For elementary schools, Crandell uses the Newberry Award winning children’s book, “Joseph Had a Little Overcoat,” to teach about repairing and reusing to make something last as long as possible. She finishes the program with a little help from her banjo and the students.

For more information, contact Maribeth Crandell at mcrandell@oakharbor. org or 279-4762.

Above: Jack Shapira and below, Lindsay Inouye won the recycling art contest. Dave Zylstra, Christian School principal, is pictured with Inouye.
