Sunken vessel removal advances

Blossom time on the prairie

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The prairie at the Pacific Rim Institute south of Coupeville is alive with native wildflowers in bloom. Among the colorful blossoms are, from left to right, chocolate lilies, sea blush, camas and Western buttercups, many of which will stay in bloom through June.

From bright yellow buttercups to star-shaped, purple camas, the prairie at the Pacific Rim Institute south of Coupeville has an ecosystem unique to the area, making it well worth the time-consuming efforts to restore it with native wildflowers and grasses.

During a rare time that the prairie was open to the public, Robert Pelant, CEO of the Pacific Rim Institute, and Dr. Joseph Sheldon, vice chair of the PRI Board of Trustees, offered tours to the community.

Thursday morning, nearly 50 students from Evergreen State College, plus community members, attended a tour to view the restoration work.

“It’s a very precious, rapidly vanishing ecosystem,” Pelant said of prairie.

Restoring the prairie to its natural state before agriculture and the introduction of foreign plant species

is “painstakingly tedious,” Pelant said. At one point, he said he had tears in his eyes because it is so much work, especially since six of the acres they received were splattered with piles of junk and metal.

The prairie at PRI was carved by meltwater coming off a glacier front, as opposed to Ebey’s Prairie, which was a lake bottom at that time. This results in differing soil compositions: the institute’s prairie soil has a lot of gravel and sand, whereas Ebey’s Prairie consists of rich silt, making it perfect for farming.

The prairie at the institute, on the other hand, is perfect for native grasses and wildflowers that prefer sandy, rocky soil.

There are approximately 20 species of native wildflowers in the area. One of those is the golden paintbrush, a threatened species.

The golden paintbrush has bright yellow modified leaves that outshine its small green flowers.

Sheldon showed the group the best restoration site in Washington

Strong currents and the continuation of light oil sheen coming from the 128-foot derelict crab boat that burned and sank in Penn Cove has prompted state officials to solidify and accelerate plans to remove the vessel.

Toni Droscher, spokeswoman for the state Department of Natural Resources, said that the agency has wanted to raise and dispose of the Deep Sea since it sank, May 13, but that it was proceeding cautiously.

However, those plans were made official this week following a joint meeting with representatives from the multitude of state and federal agencies that have been participating in containment and clean up efforts.

“We did find that (removing the vessel) is the best route to go,” Droscher said. “We can’t put a boom around that boat forever.”

The consensus was reached largely because small sheens have continued to appear above the sunken vessel, though the major diesel leaks are believed to have been contained as of last Wednesday.

The small sheens observed

boat CONTINUED FROM A1 are nowhere near the size of the one that occurred the day after the sinking, which stretched from the wreck site all the way to the Coupeville Wharf.

“I’m not sure you’d even measure it in gallons,” said Richard Walker, on-scene coordinator for the state Department of Ecology.

The continued appearance of small or light sheen is not altogether unexpected from a sunken ship the size of the Deep Sea, but it does present the possibility for problems over the long term, he said.

“They might stop but when are they going to reemerge again? This year?

Next year?” Walker said.

“We really feel this is the best decision for everyone involved,” he said.

The source of the sporadic sheens is still unknown, though Walker said it’s most likely from contaminants trapped in the hull of the vessel. Whether it’s oil, diesel or hydraulic fluid that’s floating to the surface is also unclear.

Lt. Cmdr. Wade Gough, chief of the U.S. Coast Guard’s incident management division at Sector Puget Sound in Seattle, said diving operations were initially thought to continue into this week but confirmed that they wrapped up Friday evening.

He reported that two main tanks could not be reached for inspection and that con-

taminant recovery remains at about 5,200 gallons. About 3,200 gallons were directly syphoned and picked up by surface skimmer boats and as much as 2,000 sopped up with absorbent pads.

Gough said the Coast Guard officially transferred its lead of the clean up and containment efforts to the state Department of Ecology on Friday. The federal agency will now act largely in an advisory role.

According to Ecology spokesman Larry Altose, Ballard Diving & Salvage is no longer under contract but the state agency has retained the services of National Response Corporation.

Both firms were hired by the Coast Guard and had been funded through the federal Oil Spill Liability

Trust Fund, a special pot filled with money levied from oil imports. Altose said Ecology is paying for the effort with funds from the state Toxic Control Account, which is funded from taxes on hazardous materials.

Altose said he could not yet say how much has been spent but Gough said the Coast Guard’s direct costs --- hiring the diving firm and NRC --- tally about $225,000.

That compares to about $450,000 in indirect costs, such as keeping a boat on scene and helicopter patrols over the past week.

According to Gough, indirect costs aren’t usually covered by the vessel’s owner, in this case Rory Westmoreland, but the decision is up to the Coast Guard’s National Pollution

Funds Center.

Droscher said the Department of Natural Resources will be working this week to find a contractor to raise the boat. She estimated that the price tag, including disposal costs, would be about $750,000.

“That’s our best guess now,” she said.

The vessel is beginning to fill with mud from the strong currents that flow in and out of Penn Cove, Droscher said. Some reports are that the wheelhouse is already half filled with sediment.

That makes getting the vessel out of there quickly all the more important as the heavier it is the harder it will be to raise. She said she expects the operation to take place “in the next week or so.”

“Time is definitely of the essence,” she said.

As for the shellfish closure currently in effect in Penn Cove, Mark Toy, an environmental engineer with the state Department of Health, said he didn’t know when that will be lifted.

In order for the cove to be reopened, he said the pollution will need to be totally arrested, surface sheens gone for a period of one week and then testing to confirm shellfish are safe for consumption.

After the initial leak was sealed last Wednesday, Toy said he had been hopeful that the area would be open by this weekend.

“My best estimate was Friday but now I don’t know,” he said.

Over 20 employers at Oak Harbor job fair

WN

The WorkSource Oak Harbor Job Fair will be held on Thursday, May 24 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 155 NE Ernst St., Oak Harbor.

The job fair is open to the public and will host more than 20 local and area employers.

WorkSource Whidbey provides no-cost monthly employment workshops open to individuals 16 years or older.

For more information and to view the workshop calendar, visit www.

WorksourceNor thwest . com or call 675-5966.

In preparation for the job fair, 20 Island County youth participated in an employment skills workshop called “Yes-2-Jobs” May 17 at WorkSource Whidbey.

The afternoon workshop focused on equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to secure a job.

Facilitated by Alicia Underwood and Kim Zielinski-Monette of WorkSource Whidbey, the workshop

was tailored to meet the needs of today’s young jobseekers, most of whom face increased competition for employment in a sluggish economy.

“Youth have a real challenge ahead of them as they make their way into the workforce,” Underwood said.

Many of the jobs traditionally held by young people are now filled by older, more experienced and skilled workers.

“It is increasingly difficult for young workers to gain that first foothold in the labor market. Yes-2Jobs is about giving them the tools to improve their chances of employment,” Underwood said.

The interactive workshop covered topics such as resume writing, how to complete an application, interview skills and job search strategies.

Resume writing instructions and tips were a popular topic in the group.

Mayor’s kidney works well in Canadian Bone marrow could be next

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley saved a man’s life last week and now he’s home recuperating in bed.

Dudley is the hero of the international incident with a happy ending. He traveled to Vancouver General Hospital in Canada last week to donate one of his kidneys to a critically ill man. He finally met the recipient, Philip Rosario, just a few days before the surgery.

A week later, they are both doing well.

“My kidney is working extremely well for him,” Dudley said in a phone interview.

Dudley decided to give his kidney to Rosario after hearing his wife speak at a Rotary meeting he happened to attend in British Columbia. Rosario suffered from polycystic kidney disease and faced a decade on a waiting list for a new kid-

ney. Miraculously, Dudley was a near-perfect match as a donor.

A TV crew from a Canadian news station followed Dudley into surgery. The Global BC story shows Dudley during the surgery as well as his detached kidney. The fourpart series on Dudley’s gift can be viewed online. The latest story has an extremely long web address, but can be found by Googling “Washington state man donates kidney.”

The doctors sent Dudley home after two days in the hospital, but Rosario remains so doctors can keep a close eye on him. Dudley said the suture pain is intense when he walks around, which doctors instructed him to do daily.

“Not a whole lot of running and dancing, that’s for sure,” he said.

Dudley has to go back up to British Columbia Thursday to get a check-up from doctors, but he said there were no complications and he’s healing fine.

The mayor said he plans

prairie CONTINUED FROM A1 pointed out a series of fenced enclosures. The center enclosure was blanketed with the yellow plant but the outer enclosures were sparse because deer can reach those.

It isn’t unusual to see a dozen deer on the prairie in the mornings, Sheldon said, adding that there are so many because residents of the 60 nearby properties like to feed the deer, which is illegal.

However, these residents also help fund the institute, leaving institute employees in a difficult place.

“We’re trying to educate our neighbors, we’re trying to be good neighbors,” Sheldon said.

The institute also experiments with ways to rid the prairie of non-native species, like using herbicides, burning, tilling, mowing or solarization, a process that uses a plastic sheet to kill the plants, including non-native weeds.

They also dedicate land to a project by the University of Washington called Nutrition Network. The purpose is to study the nutrient uptake level of weeds and grasses and compare that to data from projects across the nation and in other countries.

Ellen and Ken Dickey, of Freeland, attended the tour to get some tips on restoring their own property. They plan to add native herbs, especially camas, and encourage all pollinators in order to convert a pasture area into a meadow garden.

While they have visited the institute before, they had never been to the native prairie.

“I’m heartened that this has been taken over by a wonderful group of people,” Ellen Dickey said.

“Restoring places once they’ve been trashed is sort of a holy task. It’s a lot of work,” Ken Dickey said.

With the human population growing so large, “We have to learn to share. We’re not good at sharing. We have to learn to share with wildlife,” Ken Dickey added.

The Pacific Rim Institute was once called the Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies and was used as an environmental studies location for Christian schools.

When the Au Sable Institute closed, a group decided to fight for the nearly 200 acres of land and created the Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship, which is dedicated to caring for the environment and offers educational programs about environmental health, sustainability, biology and more.

The institute offers summer internships for people who’d like to contribute to the prairie’s future. From trapping voles to building propagation beds to helping with prairie burns, “There’s 101 different things that can be done out here,” Pelant said.

The Pacific Rim Institute is located at 180 Parker Road, a couple of miles south of Coupeville.

Oak Harbor offers deals in effort to fill marina

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A committee has proposed a plan that’s aimed at helping Oak Harbor’s struggling marina by offering special deals to encourage long-term moorage.

The Oak Harbor City Council passed a resolution last week to offer special contract pricing and to lower the price of fuel.

Cac Kamak, senior planner and staff representative on the marina advisory committee, made it clear May 15 that something has to be done to bring more customers to the city-owned marina. Like many marinas in the state, moorage rates in Oak Harbor sank when the economy floundered. The occupancy rate went from 80 percent in 2009 to the current 56 percent.

“Generally there have been less boats in the water,” he said, adding that “boats are being shuffled around to various marinas.”

The marina is run as a self-sustaining enterprise fund, which means it doesn’t receive taxpayer money. The bulk of the marina’s $1.2 million in revenues comes from fees charged for moorage.

Kamak said the committee members looked at ways to encourage more boaters to use the marina, especially for long-term moorage.

They decided to offer moorage discounts to current or new customers who enter into long-term contracts.

Chris Sublet, the interim marina manager, said those

with boats over 26 feet will receive 12 months of moorage for the price of 11 months. For a 40-foot boat, that’s a $234 savings.

Boats smaller than 26 feet will be eligible for a flat rate of $55 a month. Boats in

customers. The committee hoped the lower price would encourage more overnight moorage.

Kamak conceded that the discounts could backfire and cost the marina, which is projected to have

Kamak said the committee members don’t anticipate that will happen.

“We think it’s a good program,” he said. “We think it will be successful.”

IN OUR OPINION

Primary’s crucial in District 1 race Island County Commissioner District 1 takes up most of Whidbey Island south of Oak Harbor, running from Clinton to the outskirts of the county’s biggest city. But the best chance for District 1 voters to assure they have the person in office who best reflects their interests is in the primary election.

The primary will be held earlier than every this year, on Tuesday, Aug. 7, a mere 11 weeks away. Voters don’t have a lot of time to check out the five candidates in the running.

The risk in District 1 is that the top vote-getter in the primary has never been assured a job because in the general election, voters countywide get a say. In the past, this has meant that Oak Harbor voters in District 2 have often made the decision. To win in District 1, it has been essential —almost necessary — to do very well in District 2. Many times through the years, the South and Central Whidbey primary victor, often a Democrat, has failed to win election due to District 2’s conservative voters turning the tide.

The influence of District 2 voters has been watered down by the advent of the “top two” primary. No longer is a Republican assured a place on the general election ballot. This is the first year the new top two primary will influence who gets selected in a county commissioner primary.

Helen Price Johnson, the Democratic incumbent, is likely to win one of the top two District 1 places on the August ballot. She has her party’s backing, four years of experience, and a record of trying to do her best in terrible economic times.

The second spot, however, is up for grabs. Republican Jeff Lauderdale has his party’s backing and has been running hard for months, but another Republican, Wayne Morrison, is a well-known businessman. Making the race more interesting is independent Curt Gordon, who fell only about 50 votes shy of beating Republican Phil Bakke in the 2008 primary. Muddying up the contest is another independent, Ed Jenkins, whose strong opinions irk a lot of community leaders, but who speaks well, knows the issues and could make a good impression at voter forums.

For District 1 residents, voting in the primary election is crucial. So study the candidates and vote for who best meets your criteria. Then, no matter how District 2 voters lean in November, there will be a true District 1 representative winning the election.

Letters to the editor Don’t betray the public trust

Thanks to Helen Price Johnson for her stand for Conservation Futures. This has been an essential tool for preserving the rural beauty of Island County and for keeping some small part of the islands available for public access. So many of us have worked so hard and spent huge numbers of hours to get Conservation Futures provisions enacted, it would be a major betrayal of public trust to disband it now.

As chair of the Camano Island Community Council, one of our missions was to achieve equity in futures tax distributions between Camano and Whidbey islands. This happened during the four years the council existed. Now is not the time to give up on this mission for all of Island County.

So much of both islands is

in private ownership that it is only through judicious use of Conservation Futures funds that any land can be made available for public use and the preservation of native flora and fauna.

Keep up the good work, Helen, and Angie Homola too. You both are appreciated well beyond the borders of Whidbey Island.

coin. Yet, the one side of the coin not representing teachers was not the individual I would post in my forum if I was running a newspaper.

To those of you who do not get online you would not even have a clue about this individual. But for those of us who do comment occasionally online this individual is an “Internet vulture.”

Before the Whidbey NewsTimes required Facebook logins, I checked this person’s profile and he had thousands of comments left on the Whidbey NewsTimes. In fact, he has thousands more comments than the next closest commenter.

If it was a political letter he was there to comment. And if you made a comment he would be there to reply to your comment within a couple of hours. I picture this poor individual tied to his computer 24/7 checking his comments constantly so he can pounce on anyone who

is willing to reply. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I think this person might be just a little fixated on his political agenda.

In a recent forum on education by Peter Szalai the Internet responses contained 17 entries, 12 of which belonged to this one individual. Now apparently the News-Times has no problem giving this person the floor. And maybe that is why this country is going to the extremists. Then again, this is a newspaper that has a front page article about a donut shop opening! (But I must say they were good donuts.)

Anyway, I’m sure the Whidbey News-Times won’t print this letter. Suffice it to say, the next time I see this individual’s name under a forum piece, well, that will be the last Whidbey NewsTimes I purchase.

A sad day at NAS Whidbey as VQ-2 disestablished

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

Kathy Reed/Whidbey News-Times

Retired Navy Capt. Don East addresses the crowd at a disestablishment ceremony for Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 2 Thursday at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Federal budget belt-tightening has claimed its first victim at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

In a ceremony in Hangar 6 on board NAS Whidbey Island Thursday morning, Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 2 was officially “disestablished.”

“Today we’re being asked to hang up our flight jackets and put away our tool boxes,” said VQ-2 Cmdr.

Mark Stockfish.

The ceremony brings to an end 57 years of service for VQ-2, which was established on Sept. 1, 1955.

The hangar was filled Thursday with personnel past and present, brought together to remember the squadron and its mission.

“We honor 57 years of a truly remarkable air reconnaissance mis-

sion,” acknowledged Air Wing 10 Commander, Capt. Peter Garvin.

“VQ-2 has set a new standard. If you heard of a hot spot anywhere in the world, or those you didn’t hear of, VQ-2 was there. They met every challenge head on.”

Guest speaker for the ceremony was retired Navy Capt. Don East, who commanded the squadron from 1981 to 1982.

“This is a ceremony of mixed emotions,” East said. “Today we say farewell to an old friend.”

East spoke of writing the history of VQ-2, noting that the squadron seemed to be alive, becoming a part of everyone who ever served.

“When this ceremony is complete, it will be time to write the final chapter,” he said. “But its spirit can remain with us as long as the sun shines and the wind blows.

VQ-2 will not be just history, but a legacy.”

And the former commander didn’t mince words regarding the Rangers’ disestablishment.

“What we’re losing is our team in the sky,” he said. “This act will someday be seen as a mistake.”

Cmdr. Stockfish spoke jokingly about his efforts to try to prevent the day from arriving.

“I started scheming to try to get the bullseye off our backs,” Stockfish said. “But it did us no good, as we’re standing on the dais today with the task at hand.”

With words of thanks to Capt.

Garvin, Capt. East and family and friends, Stockfish also had words of praise for the men and women of VQ-2.

“The improbable happens every day,” he said. “Multi-tasking is not

in your toolbox — it’s what your toolbox is made of. You are the ones that have made this squadron a success over the last 57 years.

“Look at this as an opportunity,” he continued. “In a few minutes, memories will be all we have of VQ-2. Remember the past, but do not live in it. The Ranger spirit will lead you to success.”

After reading the orders, which stated VQ-2 will officially be terminated as of Aug. 31 and its personnel consolidated into VQ-1, tradition took over. The bell was struck eight times and the squadron’s pennant was retired and presented to Cmdr.

Stockfish.

“This is a sad day, but we will move forward,” Stockfish said.

“Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 2, dismissed.”

Coupeville readies parade, ceremony for veterans

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A community celebration this Saturday offers a chance to remember those who have given their lives for the United States.

Memorial Day weekend on Central Whidbey is highlighted by a community parade and remembrance ceremony that takes place Saturday in Coupeville.

“It’s a great day of celebrating and acknowledging our men and women in the service,” said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the Memorial Day events in

Coupeville.

The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. with a flyover by a jet from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Eccles said the parade features approximately 80 entries ranging from community groups to veterans organizations. Those veterans groups include the Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Intertribal Warrior Society. Pearl Harbor survivors and military personnel who recently returned from overseas will participate in the parade as well.

The parade route goes down North Main Street, then turns onto Front Street before winding onto Alexander and

Coveland streets before finishing up at Town Park.

The remembrance ceremony takes place following the parade. State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen will speak along with Cmdr. Michael O’Lear, commanding officer of Electronic Attack Wing Squadron 136 stationed at the base.

The Pearl Harbor survivors requested to perform a bell ceremony to acknowledge all of the veterans who gave their lives in all wars, Eccles said.

Following the remembrance ceremony, the Whidbey All-Island Band will perform a musical salute to the services. In past years,

Navy Band Northwest performed following the ceremony; however, Eccles said it was decided to go with a local band this year.

Central Whidbey Lions Club members will also be busy cooking hot dogs as part of its annual town picnic. Prairie Center Red Apple donated the food for this year’s picnic and volunteers will be cooking until all of the food is consumed.

The annual parade and remembrance ceremony attracts thousands of people to Coupeville. It provides a low-key atmosphere to enjoy a nice spring day on Whidbey while honoring fallen veterans at the same time.

Penn Cove Water Festival success despite sunken boat

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A notorious sunken boat didn’t stop a popular festival from enjoying a successful weekend.

The Penn Cove Water Festival drew thousands of people to Coupeville Saturday.

Noteworthy for the annual canoe races, competitors noted the conditions Saturday were perfect and they didn’t appear to notice any adverse effects from the sinking of the Deep Sea, which took place the previous weekend.

“It seemed OK,” said Matt Ballew, a member of the Lummi Nation near Bellingham. He said he didn’t have much time to inspect the water quality given he was busy trying to pilot a canoe and complete a race without crashing into one of the other teams.

However, his comments were echoed by John Davis from the Nooksack Indian Tribe, which is also near Bellingham.

“It looks the same to me,” Davis said between races Saturday. He noted the overall conditions were calmer

The Penn Cove Water Festival attracted competitors and canoe clubs from tribes throughout the Puget Sound region and British Columbia. A preliminary count showed that 10 canoe

clubs and six tribes were participating in Saturday’s races.

Davis said that the number of racers was down from the previous year, but that could be because another canoe race took place Saturday in Chilliwack, B.C. The festival took place as crews continued to clean the

mess surrounding the Deep Sea, a 128-foot crab boat that has been left in Penn Cove for months. It caught fire and eventually sank the previous weekend. Oil and fuel leaks prompted state officials to close Penn Cove to shellfish harvesting. State officials are looking at ways to raise and remove the sunken vessel and mitigate any possible environmental damage.

Festival officials didn’t learn until later in the week that the canoe races were able to take place. Organizers

started making contingency plans, ranging from moving the races to canceling them, if they weren’t able to hold the competition in Penn Cove, said Lisa Haas, president of the Penn Cove Water Festival.

Fortunately, the races were still able to take place as scheduled near Coupeville.

The Penn Cove Water Festival was organized by basically a new board that formed last year. Despite an abbreviated timeline to put together a large festival, Haas

OBITUARY Jacqueline ‘Jackie’ Rumple Shortly after her 81st birthday Jacqueline “Jackie” Rumple passed away in her home on May 16, 2012. She was a homemaker, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother and matriarch of over 50 children. Born on April 14, 1931, in Coupeville, she was raised on a farm, married Jerry Rumple who was in the Navy and when he retired the family moved to Indiana to work the family farm. She worked at the Loganberry Farm, the Rod & Gun Club, Formfit, Good Samaritan Nursing Home, and Fun-n-Sun Pools.

There was a gathering of all friends and family on May 19 in her home in Howesville, Ind. Please, no flowers, if you feel so inclined, donate to Wounded

Warriors or the Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Rumple, and her parents, Irene and Pat Wanamaker of Coupeville and her husband’s parents, Louise and Oscar Rumple.

Survivors include five sons: John and Phyllis Wanamaker of Henderson, Nev., Pat and Linda Wanamaker of Poulsbo, Robbie and Marsha Wanamaker of Oak Harbor, James and Lois Rumple of Howesville, Ind., and Jerry and Karen Rumple of Greenwood, Ind.; three daughters, Renay and Joe Corrigan of Linton, Ind., Ruan and Michael Fougerousse of Switz City, Ind., and Rachel and Clint Sparks of Howesville, Ind. Arrangements are under the direction of DeBaun Funeral Homes & Crematory. Online condolences may be left at www. debaunfuneralhomes.com.

said the event was a success.

Haas complimented the new group of volunteers for their efforts to raise money and organize the festival. The group started in October while organizers in previous years would start fund raising once the festival finished in the spring.

“It went great. It was a lot smoother than we expected,” Haas said, adding there didn’t seem to be any adverse effects from the sinking of the Deep Sea. The one notable difference was the appearance of off-island news reporters who visited the festival Saturday to report about how the sunken vessel affected the festival, Haas said.

The historic May festival, which, in its current incarnation, celebrated its 21st year, provides a celebration of Native American culture. In addition to the canoe races, the day-long festival featured Native American storytellers, musicians and dancers.

Because the festival basically takes place at two different locations, Haas noted it was difficult to come up with a number of people who participated. She estimated the crowd at around 3,000 people.

The entertainment, environmental displays and food were located in downtown Coupeville while the canoe races were organized from Captain Coupe Park east of downtown near the wastewater treatment plant.

With the festival complete, the volunteer board will meet this week to talk about Saturday’s event and begin planning for the 2013 version of the Penn Cove Water Festival.

Boys track team repeats a week (and 34 years) later

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

It was a long time coming.

1978 -- that was the last time the Oak Harbor boys track team won both the conference and district meets in the same year. It last won the district title in 1992.

A week after stunning the league by winning the conference crown, Oak Harbor won the 12-team District 1 3A championship Wednesday and Friday at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

The Wildcat girls also put in a solid performance. After placing fifth in the Wesco

meet, Oak Harbor moved up to fourth at district even with the addition of three teams.

Boys head coach Jay Turner said he thought winning district “would be really close,” especially with two runners out with injuries.

Dejon Devroe, who scored in four events at league, and Chris Opdyke, who ran on the 4x400 relay team, missed the district championships because of injuries.

Turner said to overcome the loss of Devroe and Opdyke and to win the district title, it was emphasized to the team that others “needed to step up” and improve upon their league efforts.

Those improvements came from several fronts, particularly Cody Hernkind, James Harrison and John Rodeheffer.

Hernkind jumped from sixth to second in the long jump (20-05), Harrison from ninth to third in the pole vault (12) and Rodeheffer from fifth to second in the 3,200 (9:47.41).

The team title was still in doubt Friday until the next to last event when senior Matt Reith (9:46.48) and freshman Rodeheffer ran 1-2 in the 3,200.

Oak Harbor finished with 109 points; Shorecrest took second with 85.

Glacier Peak won the girls title with 131.5 points and Shorewood was second with 101. Oak Harbor collected 72.5.

Seniors Josiah Miller (200,

Wolves’ Pelroy, Hurlburt qualify for state track meet Mitch Pelroy and Larry Hurlburt will represent Coupeville High School at the 1A state track meet Thursday and Friday at Eastern Washington University in Cheney.

The pair earned the state trip by placing among the top five in their events at the tri-district championships Thursday and Saturday at King’s Woolsey Stadium in North Seattle.

Pelroy qualified in three events, winning the 300 hurdles (41.26) and placing fourth in the 100 (11.52) and 200 (22.95). His hurdle time is the ninth best in Washington among 1A runners this spring.

Hurlburt finished fourth in the 400 (52.97).

Each just missed out in qualifying in another event by finishing sixth in the 4x400 relay (3:38.81) with Matthew Hampton and Sam Landau.

In other tri-district action, Nick Streubel placed 12th in the shot put (40-09.5) and discus (117-09).

For the girls, Grace LaPoint was ninth in the javelin (94-06) and Jai’Lysa Hoskins 15th in the high jump (4-04).

In team scoring, the Coupeville boys finished ninth out of 21 teams with 28 points. Orting took the title with 86. King’s won the girls meet with 106 points; Coupeville did not score.

Pelroy qualified for state last year and placed ninth in the 400.

The top two in each event qualified for the state meet at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma Thursday through Saturday.

The girls will be represented at state by Christina Wicker, Dominique Jackson and the 4x200 relay team.

Wicker placed second in the 400 (1:00.83); Jackson finished third (121) in the discus but surpassed the

state qualifying mark; and the relay team of Sierra Seabolt, Christina Alexander, Maura McKole and Jessica Hollins grabbed second (1:48.01).

Girls head coach Eric Peterson said, “The girls did perform well, better than we had expected at the beginning of the season.”

He pointed out that his team scored in all but three events and loses just three seniors (McKole, Alexander and Jackson) from those who competed at district: “We’re a young but extremely strong girls team.”

Sport of reading energizes third grade students Despite the absence of running, balls or bats, reading can be a sport, too, and 50 Oak Harbor third graders recently learned how much fun the sport of reading can be.

The Island Reading Challenge, organized by Jane Lopez-Santillana, librarian for the Oak Harbor Library, and supported by the Friends of the Oak Harbor Library, is a “battle of the books” event aimed at improving literacy skills while fostering a love of reading.

This year’s Island Reading Challenge included six teams of third-grade students from Olympic View and Crescent Harbor elementary schools.

After reading a selection of six books, the children took part in a quiz bowl game to determine the high scoring team from each school.

All teams demonstrated impressive knowledge of the books and wonderful sportsmanship skills, LopezSantillana said.

The two dominant teams, Cool Books from Crescent Harbor and Legendary Readers from Olympic View, advanced to the final round, with Cool Books from Crescent Harbor winning the grand trophy.

Prizes were awarded to all participants, with the biggest reward being the advancement of their reading skills, Lopez-Santillana said.

According to Kim Kellogg, OHSD literacy coach, students who participated in the reading challenge increased their grade equivalent scores by an average of 0.5, which translates to five months of growth, between Jan. 27 and April 12. The overall third

The winning team was Cool Books from Crescent Harbor Elementary School. Members included Joel Pacleb, Kiara Eby, Rachelle Lara, Gillian Zylstra, Dylan Sykes, Dalton Abernathy, Madison McCarthy and Emma Johnson. grade class GE score average for this same time period increased by 0.2, or 2 months of growth. The GE score is a norm-referenced score that

represents how a student’s test performance compares with other students nationally.

Lopez-Santillana heard

responses from the students including: “The best part about the reading challenge was reading the books.”

When asked what advice they would give a third-grade student next year to be successful in the Island Reading Challenge, one student said, “Try hard and read as many books as you can.”

More schools will be added next year as the challenge expands.

According to Lynn Goebel, third-grade literacy coach, “This was a highlight for the year. Happy reading moments were made for many!”

Some books the students read were: “Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School and Other Scary Things,” by Lenore Look; “Half Magic,” by Edward Eager; “The Hundred Dresses,” by Eleanor Estes; “Little Wolf’s Book of Badness,” by Ian Whybrow; and more.

High School DECA team wins nationals The Oak Harbor High School DECA team of Mike Washington, Ben Muyres and Mitchel Jackson earned the title of National Champion in the Virtual Business Sports event. Competing at the National DECA competition in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Oak Harbor team beat 16 other competitors from across the United States in a bracketstyle tournament.

For Washington and Muyres, this is their second year of winning, earning the title of Back-to-Back National Champions.

Their event involved competing in a computer simulation where the student team acquires a professional sports franchise and must make marketing, pricing, personnel and other business decisions with the goal of turning the biggest profit against their competitors. During each stage of the competition they competed in a 20-minute head-to-head competition against four other teams.

In the championship round, the Oak Harbor team was actually in third and fourth place until the final two minutes when they made key decisions and moves to vault

The students brought home a plaque, medals and will receive a $1,000 check from the sponsors, Knowledge Matters and Safeway.

To qualify for the National Competition, the team had to earn first in a local qualifying round in February. During the rounds, they beat out over 60 other teams from Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada.

Oak Harbor High School DECA also congratulates Josh McVey for his top 10 finish at the National DECA competition. McVey, competing in the Quick Serve Restaurant event, made his way through 150 other competitors over three days of role plays (solving a business scenario) and a written test.

He earned a spot on the national stage and honorable mention along with a medallion recognizing his accom-

plishment.

Other Oak Harbor students that attended this conference representing Washington included Hannah Bressler and Emily Hunt, receiving Gold Certification for the Oak Harbor Student Store; Gabe Groenig competed in the Business Services role play event; and Matt Reith and Jillian White attended training and leadership academies for training to bring back to the local chapter.

Staff reporter

Competitive dancing isn’t reserved for youth, as Linda Kaser is proud to show. The 59-year-old scooped up an abundance of awards at recent competitions in New Orleans and Portland, Ore. “It was a lot of fun,” Kaser said, still caught up in the excitement of the competitions.

At the Southern States Dancesport Championships in New Orleans, Kaser snatched up four first place and eight second place awards from her 21 dances, and at the Columbia Star Ball in Portland, she earned a whopping 15 first places and six second places, making it her best competition yet.

“Yea, it’s a competition but that’s not why I do it,” Kaser said. “I’m out there just to improve myself and achieve my very best.”

Kaser is an analyst at the hospital at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. She takes dance lessons from Nathan Simler at his dance school in Bellingham. Simler teaches ballroom and Latin dancing. Kaser dances in the American category which includes the categories of rhythm, with dances like the mambo, and smooth, with dances like the waltz and foxtrot.

Competitions are divided into age and skill level categories. In the past, Kaser competed in the bronze skill level category but in New Orleans, her only goal was to take a step up to compete in silver, where she ended up earning first place.

“That was the best moment ever,” Kaser said.

When dancing at competitions, the judges look at the dancer as a whole package. It isn’t just getting the steps right, it’s about smiling; the judges want to see that the dancers enjoy what they’re doing, and Kaser has no problem there.

“It just energizes me. I’m a happier person doing it,” Kaser said of dancing, adding that the more dancers on the floor, the more she feeds off their energy.

Kaser and her husband started taking group dance classes five years ago from Dan Branscum of Dan’s Classic Ballroom in Oak Harbor. They thought six weeks would be plenty of time to learn a few dances for their son’s wedding --- how naive they were, Kaser said.

But Kaser stuck with dance and decided to compete as a way to keep her memory fresh after investing so much time learning the dances in the first place.

“There’s a goal on the horizon and I better not forget the steps,” Kaser said of competitions. She dances nine dances at two levels each for competitions, plus some offer scholarship dances, which award money for dance lessons.

Through Branscum, Kaser met Simler, who prefers to have competitive students. Simler took her to watch a competition before she committed to his school. By the end of it, Simler could tell she’d rather be out there competing.

“So he said, ‘Why don’t you start lessons next week?’ And we did,” Kaser said.

The best thing about Simler is that he doesn’t try to make his students into something they’re not, Kaser said.

“If you’re old, if you’re overweight, if you never dance again, he sees where you’re at,”

Linda Kaser dances at the Southern States Dancesport Championships in New Orleans with her dance instructor, Nathan Simler.

After earning a number of awards there, she continued on to her best competition yet in Portland, Ore., where she earned 15 first place awards.

Kaser said, adding that he drives her but doesn’t force her to try moves ballerinas 20 years younger than her spent hours learning.

“She’s a really dedicated dancer. She’s really hard working and cares a lot about what she’s doing,” Simler said.

Kaser grew up watching dancers and dreaming of taking lessons, although it was outside of her family’s budget. So when she dances now, she’s dancing for everyone who dreams of dancing.

“I think about all the people who had the dreams to want to dance but never could due to budget, health,” Kaser said. “So when I get out there, in my mind, I’m dancing for all those people. I’m doing it for them.”

“I would recommend it for anybody looking for a challenge,” Kaser said, adding that dancing relieves daily stress and offers a way for individuals to set goals for themselves.

Kaser said she may not be the youngest or fittest dancer, but she simply loves what she’s doing.

“If I can do it, anybody can,” Kaser said.
