Candidates spar in new league format

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Island County District 2 commissioner candidate Phil Collier gets an earful from Terri Arnold after the League of Women Voters’ primary forum in Oak Harbor on Wednesday.

Island County District 2 commissioner candidates faced off Wednesday at their first public political forum of the season.

And while short, at just over one hour, organizers from the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island say the event did exactly what it was supposed to do: inform voters of their choices on the upcoming primary ballot.

“I think for the candidates, their strengths and weaknesses were clear to see,” said Marshall Goldberg, the forum’s moderator.

Rivalries were cemented, some reputations stained, others polished. However, just how deciding the forum will ultimately be when it comes to election day is impossible to know, Goldberg said.

This was the first of two scheduled primary commissioner forums being put on by the league this

month. Participants included incumbent Democrat Angie Homola, Republicans Jim Campbell and Jill Johnson Pfeiffer, and Independent Phil Collier.

New format Both forums utilize a new format.

Instead of being quizzed by the crowd, candidates were asked previously prepared questions about current and future issues. Each candidate was also issued three challenge cards, which allowed them to contest the responses or comments of challengers.

They were not wasted.

Almost immediately, Collier, a small business owner in Oak Harbor, challenged Johnson Pfeiffer, the executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, when she said one of the skills she See League, A4

Race Week arrives on Whidbey Island today Thunderbird International Regatta scheduled

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Celebrating its 30th year, a popular series of races will draw hundreds of boats and even more racers to Whidbey Island beginning this weekend.

Whidbey Island Race Week starts today, July 14, and continues throughout the week before wrap-

ping up Friday. Racers will sail in Saratoga Passage and in Penn Cove near Coupeville depending on sailing conditions.

Organizer Gary Stuntz said approximately 115 boats have signed up this year, which is up eight boats from 2011. Those boats will be accompanied by approximately 1,000 race participants.

The first races are scheduled to begin today with the D’s Whidbey Island, which are races featuring small dinghies that will race in Penn Cove from noon to 5 p.m.

Stuntz said that an Olympian and a world champion are among the

participants in the race that has 35 boats signed up.

In addition, another race, titled “bring what you brung,” offers a fun day for people with more unusual boat designs.

Racing begins in earnest on Monday. The race is starting to take on an international flavor as it has attracted competitors from Australia, Japan and Canada as well as people scattered throughout the United States, Stuntz said.

In addition to the usual races, Whidbey Island Race Week is home to the Thunderbird International Regatta. It’s a class of wood boats,

for

26-feet in length, originally built in the Pacific Northwest.

Stuntz said that Whidbey Island Race Week is a world-class event that has been hampered a bit because of its isolated location in the Pacific Northwest, but many racers return year after year.

As always, the racers will also have time for some fun. A party takes place for participants each evening at the Oak Harbor Marina.

Sailor found in wilderness remains in intensive care

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

William “Billy” Wolf, the sailor from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station who spent two nights alone in the wilderness after being injured in a motorcycle accident, remains in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center.

According to Officer Tom Moliter, chief deputy of the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office, Wolf, 43, was found Saturday morning on a forest service road in the FinneyCumberland area, south of the South Skagit Highway.

That was two days after he

went on a motorcycle ride on Thursday, July 5.

Wolf was immediately airlifted to Harborview in Seattle by the Navy’s Search and Rescue unit. Hospital officials said Thursday he remains in intensive care and is in serious condition.

“His injuries were intensive and his recovery will be long,” said Tony Popp, a base public affairs officer.

Wolf is a senior chief aviation machinist’s mate with Electronic Attack Squadron 136, “The Gauntlets.” He was reported missing Friday morning by members of his squadron when he failed to

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service, working collaboratively with AT&T, used cellular telephone records to pinpoint his last known position and a search ensued of forested areas south of Highway 20, Popp said.

Attorney’s advice dashes hopes of kayak event owner

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

The North Whidbey Park and Recreation District commissioners have decided not to move forward with purchasing the Deception Pass Dash, a kayak race that takes place every December.

Bill Walker, who is both the executive director of the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District and owner of the business that organized the challenging kayak race, consulted with the district’s attorney, Nathan Manni, about the district purchasing his race.

While he said he was advised the proposal was perfectly legal, the lawyer reportedly was mystified by

the financial aspects of the proposal.

Walker said the attorney pointed out that there was “no intrinsic value of a park and recreation district owning the event.”

“He felt it wasn’t in the best interest of the district when we could create it for free,” Walker said.

The Deception Pass Dash takes place every December and attracts approximately 200 kayakers and needs around 50 volunteers. The Dash is composed of a sixmile course through the difficult waters of Deception and Canoe passes. The race starts in Bowman Bay, over to Strawberry Island and back to Bowman Bay, which

is located on Fidalgo Island.

Walker said several people expressed concerns about the park district owning such an event. Some were concerned about a Whidbeybased entity holding an event in Skagit County while a resident attended Thursday’s commissioner meeting to argue that the park district doesn’t need the additional liability of the kayak race.

Walker agreed with people’s concerns. He added that he was uncomfortable broaching the possible purchase with the commissioners. The idea apparently came up when he was interviewing for the position.

As for the race, which has been held every year since

2006, Walker said he hopes to find an entity to organize the race in 2012. He is in the process of closing down his business, Ruby Creek Boathouse.

He said he isn’t sure what kind of financial arrangement could be set up for another business to operate the dash, but he’s had interest from other businesses.

The commissioners initially seemed open to the idea of the district taking over the Dash. “That’s the kind of thing the park district should be involved in,” Commissioner Harvey Prosser said during Thursday’s district meeting.

However, the board heeded the attorney’s concerns and declined to pursue the matter.

Damage serious after SUV hits Linds in Coupeville Half of the store closes for repairs

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

A portion of Linds Pharmacy in Coupeville was closed to the public for several days this week because of damage it sustained from an SUV that parked a little too close.

The accident occurred Wednesday morning and prompted authorities to close about half the store out of concerns for the building’s structural stability. Although the damaged wall has since been partially repaired, the store is being required to get the OK of a professional structural engineer before reopening the closed section.

“We’re having someone come out today,” said Store Manager Adam Lind, on Friday morning. “Hopefully we’ll be opening up this afternoon.”

According to Coupeville Marshal Lance Davenport, the accident occurred at about 10:55 a.m. when a Coupeville woman lost control of her 2000 Nissan Pathfinder and crashed into the front of the building.

The vehicle jumped the curb and struck the storefront with enough force to partially push in the wall and leave doubts about the structural integrity of that part of the building.

Although no one was hurt, it scared the bejeezus out of Lind.

He was walking nearby the impact point at the time

of the collision.

“At first I though it was an earthquake, but then I looked over and saw the wall coming down and the front of a Nissan Pathfinder,” Lind recalled.

Island County Building Official Andy Griffin was called in to inspect the building. While the job would normally fall to Coupeville’s official, he is out of the office and Griffin was asked to fill in.

His inspection did not result in good news for the business.

“From the tape on, it needs to stay closed,” said Griffin, in reference to yellow tape that had been erected to isolate the area.

Unfortunately, that represented about half the store and all of pharmacy’s Hallmark card section.

Card sales make up a big part of the business, Lind said.

“We sell a lot of cards,” he said.

By Friday, Lind estimated the loss of sales in the hundreds of dollars. He could not yet say how much the damage to the building will run but hopes everything will be covered by insurance companies.

On the day of the collision, Griffin said he didn’t think the building was in danger of coming down but recommended that people stay out of the area until a girder truss that supported that part of the building was either repaired or secured.

Lind had contractors show up that day to conduct repairs.

Coupeville Building Inspector Bob Snyder was able to look at the build-

ing Thursday. Just to be sure everything is OK, he required a professional analysis.

The driver, identified as Carol Franklin, declined to comment.

However, she did say that she was not wearing the best shoes for driving and that her foot slipped off the brake pedal.

Davenport said he does not believe excessive speed was a factor in the accident, despite the destroyed wall.

“It’s a good size vehicle,” the marshal said.

“It doesn’t take a whole lot of force to do that kind of damage.”

league CONTINUED FROM A1 brings to the job is her experience balancing business interests, tourism and the importance of a strong economy.

He criticized Johnson Pfeiffer’s job performance, saying that despite the chamber’s annual budget of about $360,000, which includes money from a special tax levied on the overnight lodging industry, no jobs have been created.

“Mrs. Johnson has created zero,” Collier said.

Johnson Pfeiffer bit back quickly and hard, pointing out that the chamber doesn’t get money for economic development. Rather, she said the referenced tax funding is non-discretionary and can only be spent on tourism promotion.

“I appreciate Phil’s perspective; he’s also not a member of the chamber of commerce so he is not familiar with our intimate details,” said Johnson Pfeiffer, which resulted in loud murmuring and some healthy chuckling from the crowd.

Collier immediately used his second challenge card to debate the issue further, and Johnson Pfeiffer argued back over the specifics of the chamber’s budget and how

The role of government But it wasn’t all verbal sword play. By design, the pointed questions effectively nailed down the candidates on their positions on not just hotly contested issues, but also their views on the role of county government itself.

Campbell, who is in his sixth year on the Oak Harbor City Council, listed in order

of importance public safety, roads and infrastructure and bringing commerce to Whidbey while Homola, in her first term as commissioner, said it was to protect the health, welfare and growth of the county.

Johnson Pfeiffer agreed with Homola, adding that government “should be as limited as possible.” Collier listed public health and safety, balancing the budget and parks and recreation but went on to allege that the county was overstepping its environmental obligations and unfairly raised taxes.

In the past four years, the county has cut about $6.2 million from the current expense fund. The only approved tax increases in that period have been 1 percent annual increases and the one-time use of previously banked excess tax capacity on the road fund in 2009. State law allows both to be passed without a vote of the people.

However, the board did put a property tax hike, known as Proposition 1, on the ballot in 2010 but it failed. Later that year, a clean water utility was adopted but it is technically not a tax. Instead, fees are collected from property owners to fund specific surface and groundwater programs.

The budget Naturally, candidates were quizzed with several budgetrelated questions, ranging from their feelings about new taxes to what specific county services should be cut or restored.

Collier said he is against any new taxes but would be in favor of restoring funding to the “building department,” as it is currently open only four days a week instead of five, along with the health department and those related to public safety.

He proposed cutting “failed environmental stud-

offices to “proper staffing levels.”

“If the cops arrest them and we don’t have lawyers to put them in jail, why bother arresting them,” he said.

Homola, speaking a mile a minute, rattled off a range of figures relating to the county’s financial situation since she took office and the amounts cut from the budget.

She emphasized that accusations of wasteful spending are inaccurate, that just 1 percent of the current expense fund --- about $300,000 --- funds services that are not mandated by the state.

“That pays for seniors, Meals on Wheels, a little bit for animal control and hungry kids,” she said.

She went on to argue that 57 percent of the budget is spent on law and justice expenses, which should make it clear that public safety is a top priority for the See league, A5

ies,” referring to salmon restoration efforts at Swan Lake and money spent on projects such as the work at Ala Spit and Dugualla Bay lagoon.

The remark was too much for Terri Arnold, director of the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District. She said from the front row, “Those are grant funds, goofball.”

Although she was shushed by Goldberg, Arnold gave Collier a tongue-lashing after the meeting that was so severe that it cannot be reported in a family newspaper.

Campbell said he didn’t want to raise taxes but was not willing to say he would never do so. If elected, he promised to look at the “entire tax situation and for every one of those that I think can be sunset,” he would push for the board to do so.

As for funding changes, he did not say where specifically he would find the money but that he would seek to restore the sheriff’s and prosecutor’s

league CONTINUED FROM A4 board. Finally, she said that over $6 million in cuts is no small amount.

“I can get rid of full departments and not get there. I challenge anyone to help me find that extra money,” Homola said.

At one point, Homola was challenged by both Johnson Pfeiffer and Collier to address her position about a state income tax. On both occasions, Homola said a point will come when a discussion has to happen but that it’s a question for the community to answer.

Johnson Pfeiffer said that she would not commit to never supporting a tax increase. There may be a time when something is needed and if the only way to fund it is with a tax increase, it warrants consideration.

“The short answer is yeah, if we want a service we pay for a service,” Johnson Pfeiffer said. “Nothing is free in life.

I learned that when I got my first allowance, although if you get to your grandparents early you can get a few freebies.”

Base partnership Another interesting question was how each candidate proposed to partner with Whidbey Island Naval Air Station leaders on community issues, such as the Accident Potential Zone, or APZ, and noise.

Homola, who has been a Navy wife for more than 20 years, said she knows how important the base is to the economy and that she’s had great relationships with the past two captains.

Specifically concerning the APZ, it’s a matter of balanc-

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

ing property uses with base encroachment. She also mentioned another recent issue concerning a dispute over allowed water use for the Navy’s golf course.

Finding common ground and communication is a key to success, she said.

Johnson Pfeiffer echoed Homola, saying communication, openness and trust are essential. She also noted how vital the base is to the island’s economy and referenced her ties with members of a local task force that works to preserve the base’s presence on Whidbey Island.

Collier answered by saying he calls the APZ by its informal name, the “crash zone.” He said he has property within its boundaries and wholeheartedly supports its existence.

“I like that noise, that’s the sound of freedom,” Collier said. “I enjoy it.”

Campbell, a former Navy member, claimed he has ties with the base. He formerly worked for Lockheed Martin and was the company’s liaison in Scotland between the Navy and the Royal Navy for the Trident Missile Program before retiring to Oak Harbor in 2000.

He said he is “for keeping the APZ just the way it is,” and suggested going one step further. He said the county should consider buying property around the base to ensure against encroachment.

The comment earned him a challenge from Johnson Pfeiffer, who asked where he expected to get the money for such purchases. Campbell said he didn’t know.

“I don’t have the answer to that yet, it’s an idea that needs to be investigated,” he said.

Homola challenged Campbell as well, asking him to define the differences between allowed uses in the

APZ within the city and within the county and to define those boundaries.

Campbell answered that the county, city, Navy and state bought what was the “Boyer property,” comprising the APZ on land, and that the rest of it spans over the water so doesn’t impact anyone.

The exact boundaries of the APZ could not be verified by press time.

Partisan bickering Finally, the candidates were asked how they would promote civil discourse with board members at times of disagreement. The question resulted in laughs of anticipation from the crowd before anyone answered.

Collier was first up and joked that it should be settled by the amount of “girth and how much tonnage” each person has. But, as it turned out, he was partly serious.

“I guess, not joking around, maybe we should get some boxing gloves on,” he said.

“Lately it just seems like it’s always two to one.” That was a reference to the two Democratic commissioners and one Republican.

Prompted by a man from the crowd who asked what he would do personally, Collier said he would try to cross party lines as an independent to get both parties together.

Campbell said his reputation in Oak Harbor among those who pay attention to city politics says it all.

“You know what they are going to tell you? Jim Campbell is the adult on the city council. Jim Campbell

Page A5

is the moderator on the city council. Jim Campbell is the one that’s even tempered and helps everyone get to a certain point,” he said. “That is exactly what I would continue to do on the county commission.”

Homola recently received the Book End award from the Washington Association of Cities for her bi-partisan efforts in establishing legislative priorities of state wide significance.

She and Lewis County Commissioner Lee Grose, a Republican, were the only two commissioners in the state honored with the recognition.

However, Homola said there are problems on the board.

“We have some serious challenges on the Island County Board of Commissioners, I’m not going to tell you we don’t,” Homola said. “When somebody’s called a bitch or told she’s an idiot, it makes it very difficult to conduct business but I continue to try and do that with my head up because that’s my job and I’m going to take those challenges.”

Johnson Pfeiffer argued that while she doesn’t always agree with Republican Commissioner Kelly Emerson, she was elected by the people and her votes count as much as those that put Homola and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson in office.

“You can have buyer’s remorse, and I’m not telling you what to think about her,” Johnson Pfeiffer said. “I’m just saying she was elected and deserves respect.”

IN OUR OPINION

Downtown’s fine new centerpiece Oak Harbor’s long, stressful public art process associated with Pioneer Way improvements finally hit pay dirt last week with the installation of Georgia Gerber’s sculpture, “Stumbling Ducklings,” downtown.

The three bronze ducklings in a line, the last of which is in a comical stumbling position, will be a hit with locals and visitors alike. They’ll draw attention to downtown.

The ducklings are touchable art, in that kids and adults can pet them or hug them. Perhaps they will be given pet names, such as Huey, Dewey and Louie.

If the ducks are treated like other works of art by Gerber, they will change with the seasons. Her famous Boy and Dog, one of her first major works on Whidbey, has been the centerpiece of downtown Langley since 1986. People decorate the boy for holidays, put hats on him for particular occasions, and when it’s especially cold, the boy can often be seen wearing a scarf as he gazes across Saratoga Passage to Camano Island.

Oak Harbor now joins a host of other cities that can brag about having a public work of art created by Georgia Gerber in her Clinton studio. Seattle has its famous Rachel the pig in Pike Place Market, modeled after a pig of the same name that once lived in Clinton. Her Black Bear and Cubs can be found in both Denver and Tokyo; her amusing Swallowtail Caterpillar has been entertaining kids at the Pacific Science Center since 1998, and her three dancing girls, “Along Colby,” give Everett a proud piece of public art. Mentioning all her creations throughout the state and nation would consume too much space; suffice it to say that people everywhere love her art.

The Oak Harbor Arts Commission did a fine job in selecting Georgia Gerber as the primary artist for the new downtown. At $33,000, the Stumbling Ducklings didn’t come cheap. But as the years go by they’ll more than pay for themselves by the people they attract downtown and the business they generate as a result.

The two other projects already installed, “Moon Waves” and a bronze mermaid, are also merit worthy and add to the downtown atmosphere, but Stumbling Ducklings is clearly the outstanding centerpiece sought by the Arts Commission. The project, which may include one more future work of art, took many hours of time and a great deal of frustration, but it clearly proved worthwhile in the end. Congratulations on a job well done.

The fireworks looked spectacular in Time magazine photos, but not so much in person. The problem, as in most large cities, is that it wasn’t possible to get up close. From my vantage point at the south tip of Manhattan, the fireworks weren’t impressive at all.

But here in Oak Harbor, we are always able to get a front row seat --- and the fireworks are always exciting.

Thanks to the businesses for donating. It’s a great place to live!

Local elections are just around the corner. The decisions we make, in choosing our leaders, directly impact our daily lives.

Thankfully, we have a proven leader in Helen Price Johnson, our county commissioner representing District 1. Helen is seeking re-election and I believe not only that she has earned a second term, but that it is vitally important that we retain her.

Helen understands this county like few others. She was raised here and attended local schools. She graduated college and returned to live here. She married and raised her children here.

She served two terms as a school board member for the South Whidbey School District, where she emerged as a leader. She manages her family business and volunteers for her community in many capacities.

Helen has served one term as Island County Commissioner, and is widely recognized as a capable leader in that capacity.

It is not often that we have the chance to vote for a person with such intelligence, sound judgment, solid family and community values, unquestionable integrity, uncommon communication skills and ability to lead others to balanced and fair decisions. Helen has proven herself time and again in her service to community. When you meet Helen, and I suggest you do so, you will know immediately that you are in the presence of a remarkable human being.

If you can’t meet her personally before the election, you can visit her website, helenpricejohnson. org. These are tough times.

Leaders must be capable and strong, with enough integrity and vision to make the tough decisions for all of us.

This is no time to “shake

things up” in District 1. It would be a serious mistake to replace what is so obviously not broken. Please join me in voting to retain Helen Price Johnson.

City takes the wrong way Let’s see: First build a one way street the majority doesn’t want. Check.

Next, ignore the warnings that a Native American burial ground is where you want to redo the street. Check.

Finally, tell the merchants that the 4th of July parade will not have to use Flintstone Freeway but renege on the deal. Priceless.

The merchants counted on the parade for walk in business from people who don’t always shop in Oak Harbor and isn’t that what the one way was all about: Getting people to shop in town?

News-Times publisher accepts new challenge Sound off

By MARCIA VAN DYKE

Whidbey News-Times publisher

It’s not without sadness that I bid farewell to Whidbey Island and the Whidbey News-Times. It has been my honor and my privilege to serve as publisher of your community newspaper for these past 13 years.

The first time I visited Oak Harbor, I knew I wanted to live here and in 1991 when the opportunity arose for me to become ad manager of the Whidbey News-Times, I jumped without hesitation. I then took a slight detour to another company, but Oak Harbor kept calling me back, and in 1999 I returned as publisher. I hope that I have served you well. I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Newspapering is a tough business. You make and lose friends daily. I want to thank those who have remained faithful friends over the years whether you agreed with me or not. I spent 11 years on the Oak Harbor Chamber Board.

Pricilla Heistead was executive director when I joined and was a delight to work with as were all of the board members I served with over the years. Jill Johnson took over as ED a few years later and has been a loyal and faithful friend ever since. Her passion for Oak Harbor sparked a new sense of pride throughout the community and there is no one else I’d rather spar with on the issues. We often disagree, but the friendship has never wavered.

Patty Cohen became mayor of Oak Harbor

Letters to the editor ‘Great candidate’ describes Campbell With the Aug. 7 primary just around the corner, voters are busy looking at the commissioner candidates’ qualifications and experience levels. While every candidate has something to offer, one must remember that a great candidate must possess not just one or two attributes, but

shortly after I became publisher. I have to say Oak Harbor has never seen a mayor so passionate about her vision for our community as Mayor Cohen. She had a tough, contrary city council to work with and was unable to fulfill her full vision. However, I believe she is the unsung hero of many of Mayor Slowik’s accomplishments. When Mayor Cohen recognized that council was never going to move forward on needed projects, she generated and saved enough money to allow Mayor Slowik to see it through.

Oak Harbor owes her a debt of gratitude and I for one wish I had shown her more grace. I also believe that Mayor Slowik will someday go down as the best mayor Oak Harbor has ever had. Taking huge political risks, he was steadfast on completing the Pioneer

Way project. Pioneer Way looks amazing and it never would have happened without his leadership and he himself will tell you it never would have happened without Mayor Cohen’s fiscal frugality. Slowik kept his promise of infrastructure improvements that for the most part go unseen, I however love that I no longer have to drive through the Highway 20 river in front of 7-11 anymore. Thank you both for making Oak Harbor a better place.

My greatest joy while living and working in Oak Harbor was when Jim Slowik invited me to participate in the Oak Harbor Rotary’s fundraising efforts for the Wildcat Stadium.

It is no surprise to our readers that I am a big supporter of our local schools.

Both of my parents were educators and my father was a “Little All American”

football hero in college.

To have the opportunity to contribute to our fabulous stadium was extremely rewarding. It also was the catalyst for developing one of my favorite friendships, that with Superintendent Rick Schulte.

At the risk of negative comment postings by Bill Burnett, I have to tell you all how fortunate you are to have such a talented school superintendent in Rick Schulte. The accomplishments achieved by the Oak Harbor School District with the budget constraints they have had to deal with are quite simply amazing.

Rick’s ability to forge community participation in our schools has benefitted the entire community. Having grown up in a home of educators, I know first hand the challenges our schools face.

Oak Harbor is fortunate indeed. Thank you Rick for your friendship and for looking out for the best interest of Oak Harbor’s children.

I have been fortunate to work with an exemplary team of individuals at the News-Times and although you may not always agree with how we cover the news, I can tell you that you have been fortunate to have one of the finest editors in the business with Jim Larsen. He is the consummate professional, a true original community newspaper guy. His leadership and calm in the newsroom has led his team to be the envy of any news organization.

a culmination of many talents that can only be acquired over a lifetime.

Jim Campbell stands out because the simple truth is, experience does matter. Like many others in our community, Jim proudly served in the U.S. Navy and retired after 20 years as a Chief Petty Officer.

Jim’s second career with Lockheed Martin took him to senior manager, and was the company’s liaison to the Royal Navy for the Trident Missile program. He developed specifications for multi-million dollar contracts, negotiated and managed budgets.

Jim Campbell is currently on his sixth year as an Oak

Harbor city councilman.

Many citizens refer to Jim as one of the few adults sitting on the council. Jim is very approachable. You often see him at Angelo’s Caffé chatting with his constituents, keeping abreast of their concerns and ideas for a better community. Jim Campbell is not aligned with any special interest group, therefore he listens to all of his constituents and formulates proposals accordingly. Jim looks at each issue carefully, and considers every aspect before making a decision.

Jim Campbell believes that while some taxes and fees are necessary to support the

basics, he does not believe that the citizen’s pockets should be the first place to go when financing improvements or changes. Nor does he believe that citizens should be over-regulated, making it difficult to run a business, or get something as simple as a building permit.

Jim Campbell possesses strong leadership, communication and people skills. Jim is able to work through complex problems, and provide practical solutions. We need to tap into Jim Campbell’s lifetime experience to make Island County a better place to live and work for our families, friends and neighbors. Island

He has mentored many young journalists over the years that have gone on to enjoy successful careers. I will miss him greatly.

I both love and hate getting your Saturday evening calls when you didn’t get your paper. Boy, some of you get really angry over that and that actually makes me feel great! Not that we didn’t deliver your paper as promised, but that you hate starting your day without your local news. For some it’s the obituaries you can’t live without, for others it’s information on local schools and government, me, I couldn’t live without Jim’s weekly column. Whatever it might be that you miss so much when your carrier misses your house, know that we are deeply sorry.

Our circulation manager Lynette Reeff has been with me since I started at the News-Times. She will stay up all night long delivering papers, sometimes three or four routes at once.

Lynette’s dedication is an inspiration. We both sincerely apologize if we ever missed your house. We take it hard. Thanks Lynette for doing everything you can to ensure prompt delivery.

What most of you don’t know about Lynette is that no matter how tough things get, she always has a sense of humor about it. She is our campus comedian and keeps us laughing and positive when things get tough.

That’s what we love most about her.

Our production manager, Michelle Wolfensparger, leads a talented team of artists with enthusiasm and

unyielding dedication to customer service. Thank you Michelle.

We have a great sales manager in Lee Ann Mozes.

We haven’t worked all that long together but you know when someone is special and Lee Ann is special. Her level of integrity is inspirational and her talent for helping our clients grow their business is what every publisher looks for in a sales manager.

Every manager has a right hand man, and office manager Connie Ross is mine. She will tell you she is both my right and left hand, and I would find it hard to argue with that.

Connie is the backbone of this office and without her, well, I don’t want to think about what my tenure here would have been like without Connie.

My next adventure takes me to Olympia, where I will be the sales manager for the Olympian. Sound Publishing and all of you, our readers, have prepared me well for my next challenge. I am excited to be moving to our state capital, but most of all I am excited to be closer to my family in Portland and Tacoma.

This was the primary driver for my decision to leave Whidbey. As we get older, those family ties become increasingly more important and I have missed out on a lot of family time being so far away from everyone.

I will miss you all, and in case you were wondering, I’m voting for Jill Johnson.

Thank you, Marcia Van Dyke

County needs an experienced elder statesman that displays good judgment and wisdom.

She has managed to get five ferries so those of us who live on one of the islands can now rely on a basic need to keep us safe, get us to places of employment and make life livable.

three “challenge” cards to be used at any time during the forum.

The league reminds the public that people can only vote in the district where they live during the primary election. The district lines have moved slightly and voters should check their new voter registration cards to verify which area they are in.

The primary election is Aug. 7, with ballots mailed out several weeks before then.

OBITUARY Betty Frost

Betty Jo (Wakefield) Frost passed away at the age of 82 on July 5, 2012 at the Coupeville home of her son, Michael.

Betty was born April 25, 1930 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but spent most of her growing-up years in Spokane, Washington. As a young woman she attended the Cornish College of the Arts, where she met and married her husband, Russell. Within a few years they had built their life around their painting, living a rather nomadic life in various locals around the Puget Sound area from La Push to Coupeville. They finally settled on Camano Island, building what she called a “dwelling” to work and live in.

The creative talent of Betty Frost is evident in her delicate portraits and renderings of women of all ages, images that capture a range of emotions. After her husband’s death in 1996, she produced an extraordinary series of works illustrating her journey of grief.

According to her sisters, Betty “was an artist inside and out. She left her art for the world to enjoy forever.”

In addition to being so talented artistically, Betty was a gracious lady with a good sense of humor, a generous mother and grandmother.

W

Betty Frost She had a doll house filled with amazing miniatures, many of which she crafted herself, including tiny paintings on the walls. Betty loved to read poetry; her spiritual beliefs were free and wideranging. She transformed any place she lived into a space of delightful color, form, and texture.

RUFIT athletes qualify for national Jr. Olympic meet

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Jonalynn Horn runs to fifth in the 1,500. She also placed second in the 3,000 and qualified for the national meet in both events.

Battling through heat and high altitude at the USA Track and Field Junior Olympic Region 13 championships in Bend, Ore., July 7 and 8, five Running Unlimited Fitness individuals and one relay team qualified for the national meet.

Christina Wicker, who won two events, John Rodeheffer, Kaitlyn Chelberg, Michael Fisken, Jonalynn Horn and the first-place youth girls (13/14) relay team of Mallorie Mitchem, Carolyn Wicker, Laura Rodeheffer and Chelberg earned a trip to Baltimore for the Junior Olympic finals July 23 to 29.

The top five in each event at the regional qualified for the national championships.

In the relay win, Mitchem (2:38.9), Chelberg (3:05.9), Carolyn Wicker (2:53.4) and Laura Rodeheffer (2:43.7) combined to clock a 11:22.38.

Christina Wicker (young women, 17/18) captured the 2,000 steeplechase (7:53.65), even though she fell going over a barrier on the last lap because of a loose shoelace, and the 3,000 (11:15).

In the intermediate division (15/16), Horn and John Rodeheffer each earned a second in the 3,000 and a fifth in the 1,500 to qualify in two events.

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Michael Fisken places second in the discus to earn a trip to the national Junior Olympic meet.

Horn ran the 3,000 in 12:00 and the 1,500 in 5:27. This effort earned her RUFIT Athlete of the Meet honors.

Coach Catie Rodeheffer said “dedication and consistency” led to Horn’s success.

John Rodeheffer clocked 9:47 in the 3,000 and 4:32.38 in the 1,500. The two berths raise his national qualifications for USATF events to eight in track and cross country over the past few years.

Chelberg placed second in the 200 hurdles (31.46) and 16th in the long jump (3.8 meters).

Fisken (midget boys,

11/12) received a national berth by finishing second in the discus (24.19m); he was also ninth in the shot put (7.08m) and 11th in the turbo javelin (22.3m).

Coach Rodeheffer said Fisken “did an amazing job and worked hard in practice to achieve this.”

In other results, Laura Rodeheffer was sixth in the 3,000 (11:53), Mitchem eighth in the 800 (2:40.9), Miguel Guzman 10th in the youth boys 800 (2:25.7) and Catherine Wicker 11th in the bantam girls (9/10) 1,500 (6:52.25).

Coach Rodeheffer said, “The heat (90s) was a factor for all our athletes, particularly our distance kids. Plus the altitude was about 3,700 feet, which even our 800 runners could feel.”

The national meet is not the end of the season for RUFIT. It will continue to compete in track meets through August and then start up the cross country season.

Coach Rodeheffer said new athletes are welcome at any time and can contact her at 279-2196 or visit the club website, www.rufit.ws, for more information.

North Whidbey all-stars finish 2nd -- again

’Cats stop Lynden 9-3

Three of the four 2012 North Whidbey all-star baseball teams placed second in their respective district tournaments, missing state berths by one spot.

The latest runner up was the NWLL Major League (11/12) all stars who fell 8-3 to Burlington-Edison Thursday in the District 11 championship game at Windjammer Park.

Tuesday, NWLL lost to BurlingtonEdison 10-0 in the semifinals, then defeated South Whidbey 8-0 Wednesday to earn another shot at Burlington.

In the first loss to Burlington, North Whidbey committed key errors in each of the innings Burlington scored, including one in front of a grand slam by Tyler Henry in the six-run fourth inning that put the game away.

NWLL managed only two hits, singles

by Chris Trisler and Kenneth Morrow.

In the win over South Whidbey, North Whidbey won 8-0 but it was far from an easy victory. North Whidbey scored all eight runs with two outs in the fourth

The Oak Harbor Legion AA baseball team upset visiting Lynden 9-3 Thursday.

The win came after losses at Lynden Tuesday and at Stanwood Wednesday.

The Wildcats (7-9, 12-15) finished fifth in the nine-team North standings; three teams qualified for district.

Oak Harbor scored two runs in the second inning in the win over Lynden (7-4) as Andrew Snavely and Cory Cameron singled and scored when Anthony Stewart’s fly to left was misplayed.

In the third, Lynden scored one run and the Wildcats countered with five. Jack Richter led with a double, Brent Mertins bunted for a base hit and Snavely scored one as his grounder to shortstop was thrown away. David Kusnick reached first when his squeeze bunt, which scored Mertins, was mishandled. After a walk to Clay Doughty, Anthony Stewart squeezed in Snavely. Grant Schroeder walked, then Mike Maletto drove in two with a single.

Oak Harbor added two in the sixth when Maletto was hit by a pitch, Richter was walked and Mertins and Snavely singled.

Lynden scored two unearned runs in the seventh.

Schroeder tossed a four hitter and gave up no earned runs, striking out five and walking four.

Mertins and Snavely went 2-for-4.

inning.

Trisler started the rally with a single, Kamren Mebane walked and Eli Bryson blooped a single to load the bases.

It looked like South Whidbey might escape the jam when it picked up two outs, but Ewan Preedit’s fly to center was misplayed into a three-run, threebase error.

Dylan Bailey followed with an RBI single, then after an error off the bat of Jason Runkle and a single by Cory Roberts, Trisler ripped a three-run home run to cap the inning.

Runkle threw five innings and struck out nine while yielding three hits and two walks. Roberts threw the sixth and, after a lead off hit, fanned the side.

Trisler and Morrow each had two hits, while Bailey, Roberts, Runkle, Bryson and Andrew Eaton added singles.

In the second meeting with BurlingtonEdison, the Tigers jumped to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second on a two-run home run. Then after North Whidbey

tied it in the top of the third, the Tigers added a three-run shot in the bottom half of the inning to go up 5-2.

A double and three singles helped Burlington tack on three runs in the fourth.

North Whidbey picked up its two runs in the third on a walk to Bailey and singles by Runkle and Trisler.

In the fifth, Bailey walked and scored on Bryson’s base hit.

Coach Terri Mebane said her team played “much better” than the first meeting between the teams. This time, Mebane said, her club “just got out hit.”

She said her team “did well and had a good showing” in the tournament.

Other team members are Dominic Stevens, Jacob McMurdo, Paul Southerland Jr., Thomas Anderson and Will Danielson. Assistant coaches are Kian Mebane and Keith Machiela, and the coaching consultant is Jake Neumiller.

After failing to hold the lead in the opening game of a doubleheader with visiting Snohomish Tuesday, the Coupeville Legion A baseball team withstood another Snohomish rally in game two to finish the summer season with a win.

Coupeville led 3-0 heading into the final inning in the first game, then Snohomish scored four runs in its final at bat to nab the unlikely win.

In the second game, Coupeville built a 7-0 lead then held on as Snohomish scored five runs over the final

two innings in the Merchants’ 7-5 victory.

Coupeville finished the season 8-9.

Game one was a game of missed opportunities as Coupeville left 10 men on base. In the fifth the Merchants had runners at second and third with no outs and failed to score.

Down one heading into the bottom of the seventh, Coupeville’s first two batters (Aaron Curtin, walk; Morgan Payne, single) reached base, but a double play and pop up ended the comeback attempt.

The Merchants scored

one in the third when Jake Tumblin walked, stole second and third and scored on Payne’s single. Coupeville added two in the fourth. Brian Norris singled, then with two outs, singles by Wade Schaef and Tumblin tallied the pair.

Josh Bayne pitched the first five-and-two-thirds innings, allowing no runs, four hits and three walks while fanning seven. Cole Payne took over with two outs in the sixth, then in the seventh was touched for four hits and a walk and was the victim of an error.

Morgan Payne finished 3-for-4 with an RBI, and Tumblin had one hit, three stolen bases, a run and an RBI. Aaron Trumbull also had a hit for the Merchants.

In game two, Coupeville scored one in the first and six in the fourth.

Once again Coupeville got a strong effort from its starting pitcher. Curtin struck out the first six Snohomish hitters on the way to 11 Ks over five innings. He allowed two hits, no runs and no walks.

Aaron Trumbull threw the final two innings.

The Merchants finished with six hits, two each by Curtin and Tumblin.

In the military Navy Seaman REESE K. JAMESON, son of Keith W. Jameson, of Oak Harbor, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Jameson completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval cus-

toms, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle

Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment.

Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take

into account what it means to be a sailor. Jameson is a 2011 graduate of Coupeville High School.

als of honor, courage and commitment in order to prepare graduates for service in the fleet as naval officers.

Shutters close on Whidbey’s only camera store

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Whidbey Island’s only store devoted to cameras and images is shuttering its doors this month.

Kits Camera, which has been in business in Oak Harbor for decades, is closing soon, although its final day hasn’t been announced.

“I’m sorry for the community. It was a unique service,” said Philomena O’Rourke, who has managed the camera shop since 1994.

She said the closure of the Oak Harbor store was a corporate decision. She learned about it June 24 and said that the closure would happen in the next three-to-five weeks.

The store closing banners went up and sale prices were placed on most merchandise in an effort to sell out its stock.

Efforts to contact Ritz Camera, the parent company of Kits Camera, weren’t successful.

O’Rourke said the business has changed significantly since she started working at Kits, located in the Safeway shopping center.

Back in the 1990s, Kits was known for its one-hour photo

processing service where staff went through countless rolls of film. The camera shop could process different sizes of film, including 110 and 126 millimeter film. Kits used to do a significant business creating slides, but that has completely dwindled.

With the advent of digital photography, people’s needs changed as they stored images on cameras, disks, flash drives and computers.

O’Rourke said that staff handled “gobs and gobs of images” and Kits started offering specialty printing in addition to its one-hour photo service.

The nationwide photography chain has been struggling. News reports state that Ritz Camera last month filed for bankruptcy for the second time in recent years.

The company plans to close 128 locations nationwide and reduce about half its staff, according to news reports.

The shelves are starting to empty at the Oak Harbor store, but a selection of cameras, bags and equipment will remain on the shelves for a week or two.

Some staff members are looking for new jobs while O’Rourke said she isn’t sure about her next step.

Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Staff at Kits Camera in Oak Harbor will soon find themselves out of work when the shop closes in the coming weeks. In the front is Doug Gibson and in the back are Michael Londer, Paul Bigelow, Victoria Marks and manager Philomena O’Rourke.

Rotary Club awards 10 scholarships to graduating Oak Harbor seniors At the Oak Harbor High School graduation, the Rotary Club of Oak Harbor awarded $25,000 in scholarships to 10 graduating students.

“The goal of members of Rotary Club of Oak Harbor include putting our efforts into changing lives for the better, helping in both our community and in under developed parts of the world. Awarding local scholarships is a major club program,” said Kathy De Tuerk, club president, in a press release.

For the past 18 years, one

of the major projects of the Rotary Club has been awarding scholarships to deserving graduating seniors.

“It began in the mid 90s with the club awarding $4,000 in academic scholarships,” said Chris Gaustad, the chairman of the Rotary Club Scholarship Committee. “Over the years the Rotary Club of Oak Harbor increased the amounts. There has been several years when as much as $30,000 has been given in scholarships. More than $250,000 worth of scholarships has been presented

to local high school students over the years.”

Applicants are evaluated by a committee of 12 Rotary Club members. Each applicant is judged on GPA, financial need, work and community activities, school activities and a short narrative describing their educational goals. The candidates also meet with the committee members individually for a 15-minute interview.

“Each year the club has a major fundraiser event for the scholarship program,” De Tuerk said. “This year, the

OPEN WEEKENDS!

TODDLERS, PRESCHOOL, KINDERGARTEN & KID’S CLUB $100 enrollment credit for families enrolling in at least a 3 full day program.

Rotary Club had a Scholarship Benefit Dinner/Auction on Feb. 4 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. The other annual fundraiser for the club is a car show. The 27th Annual North Whidbey Car Show will be held Saturday, Aug. 11, at Windjammer Park. Funds raised from this event also goes towards scholarships and other local programs.”

Earning scholarships were: Emily Bain plans to attend Northwestern College and major in biology.

Eric Berner plans to attend

University of Washington and major in mechanical engineering.

Hannah Bressler plans to attend Willamette University and major in medicine.

Jasmine Case-Smith plans to attend Pacific Lutheran University and major in psychology.

Goats make great teachers FAITHFUL LIVING

By Joan Bay Klope

I’ve named them Butch and Sundance, a nod to their comradeship and propensity for getting into trouble.

They are nubian goats, twin brothers, and delightful members of my family.

To be honest, I never imagined owning goats when I was a child and thought about the future. Then again, I never imagined living on an island in the Pacific Northwest, being gifted with three children, or raising them on five acres. Isn’t this the great adventure of life? If we look for ways to live creatively, stay open to new adventures and don’t allow fear to hold us back, we can discover and embrace a life previously unimagined.

I’m especially fond of Butch and Sundance because they are kind and goofy. While females in the breed are known to produce fine milk, these boys excel at eating and do a marvelous job of keeping the forest at bay.

In years past I have watched my husband machete his way through the brush each spring and summer. If he didn’t, our living space out in the yard shrank at a dramatic rate. No longer is this a worry. Each day when I open the gate to their run, they bound out with enthusiasm. Prickly bushes? Spiky berries? No worries.

The first time I saw them they were just weeks old. So darling did I find them I knelt down, stroked their pendulous ears and encircled my arms around both at once to offer a hug and kiss. The breeder was rather horrified. “You’re kissing those goats!” he gasped.

I still do. It’s a ritual. I approach them, give them a quick little peck, then hurry ahead as I can be run over if I’m not fleet of foot. That’s because they are eager and energetic. But they are also kind and simply burst with enthusiasm for the impending feeding fest. I’ve learned to quicken my pace and can only imagine what it looks like as I skip around our property with them in tow. I rather like the image. I long to skip through each season of life.

They are also strong and can’t bridle the longing to taste everything on the other side of the fence. In their minds, it’s always greener. I watch them respond to the call with abandon and if tethered, they wind themselves up before hollering at me for rescue.

As you can surmise, they are my teachers.

Think carefully where you are going. Aim for being systematic. Find the value in your space and be aware that plowing ahead because things always look better just out of reach can entangle your life and the lives of those who care about you.

The best lesson they teach involves devotion and connectedness. These boys are a band of brothers like no other. They cry if they can’t see each other and wouldn’t for one moment consider playing the solo act and running off. They share their food without argument and lay next to each other to chew their cud because there is comfort in being close.

What teachers! What lessons!

Ranch rounds up fun for needy kids

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

It was a scene out of the Wild West: pistols flashing and cowboy boots stomping, country music and horses to ride. With all the smiles lighting up the M-Bar-C Ranch, it was hard to see that the children didn’t often get the opportunity to just be kids.

That’s the gift that the M-Bar-C Ranch in Freeland strives to offer.

“We give children a day of western fun. It’s not therapeutic riding,” said Dale Kerslake, M-Bar-C Ranch volunteer and program coordinator. “We’re really about a place for kids facing serious challenges to come be a kid for a day and just be kids.”

The ranch is operated by the Forgotten Children’s Fund, a Seattle based children’s charity.

It sits on 52 green acres, offering plenty of room for the 20 horses --- which include a couple of miniature horses --- and a replica of a Wild West town the perfect size for young imaginations.

Out of 68 days of operation during the summer, Kerslake said the ranch will be hosting groups for at least 50 of those days. Along with special needs kids, the ranch also holds horse camps for youth and adults.

The nonprofit is entirely volunteer run, with a number of adult volunteers and the help of 18 youth interns from all three school districts who learn how to handle horses while donating their time. The horses are donated, too, and are specially trained professionals.

“They know what they need to do,” Kerslake said, adding that they’re “bomb proof.” The most frequent visitors to the ranch are special needs kids, many of which are very animated.

Kerslake came to the ranch

Rebecca Olson / Whidbey News-Times

Jessie Tappan, a youth from a Seattle Parks and Recreation program called Outdoors for All, gazes at Patty, the ranch’s draft horse, while going for a ride dressed as a cowgirl princess. in 2008 to participate in a horse camp and get back into riding.

Despite living on the island for 12 years before that, she’d never heard of the ranch. When she realized the ranch’s goal of helping special needs children, she got involved at the ranch because she wanted to see these children be happy.

“You see these smiles,” she said, mentioning burn victims and children who suffered from domestic violence as other kids the ranch has positively affected.

The ranch also hosts parent-toparent support groups, which are important because the whole family comes “to just enjoy the ranch, ride the horses and have a picnic lunch,” Kerslake said.

Often, the focus is on the special needs child in a family, but these groups bring the entire family together.

“Our goal is to give them the best day ever. To see them laughing and running around

Rebecca Olson / Whidbey News-Times

A trio of youngsters from a Seattle Parks and Recreation camp morph into cowboys during playtime at the M-Bar-C Ranch.

and forget the serious problems they’re facing,” Kerslake said.

Wednesday, a group of about 15 special needs children and teens and their chaperones from a Seattle Parks and Recreation camp showed up at the ranch to the welcoming smiles of youth interns and ranch volunteers.

From their hugs for volunteers they recognized and excitement at meeting the dog, it looked like it could become their best day ever.

Kerslake greeted the guests with a “Howdy!” and led them to the flag pole to be sworn in as honorary cowboys and girls.

Today is “a chance to roam free and follow the cowboy way.

Welcome to the M-Bar-C Ranch.

Yeehaw!” Kerslake finished.

The excitement was tangible as the children raced to change into cowboy garb. They entered the barn as ordinary children and emerged as cowboys and cowgirls, plastic guns strapped to their hips and cowboy boots stomping the ground. The group also included some cowgirl princesses wearing colorful dresses.

Even the chaperones donned handkerchiefs.

Then it was horse riding time.

Many of the kids had never ridden horses before, while some had experience. A trio of ranch volunteers and interns surrounded each horse as a guest climbed on from a raised platform. Training the horses to allow riders to climb on at that height is difficult because horses believe anything above

them is a predator, but those horses were the very picture of patience.

With encouragement from the volunteers, the kids adjusted to their horses and began to smile as each horse was led around the yard. Most even stopped to pet Patty, a huge draft horse used to pull wagons.

After a few rides each, the children converged on the Wild West town, bounding through Doc’s Barbershop, a bank and even a jail with a cell. Amid shouts and laughter, the town transformed into a western battle of epic proportions. Plastic pistols were drawn in standoffs --- and a few swords, too. The cowboys cleaned up the town, tossing the bad guys in jail just in time for the lunch bell and a meal of hotdogs, an old West classic.

“The kids are having so much fun,” Kerslake said as she prepared for lunch. After lunch, the kids planned to make necklaces, keychains and do other crafts, “and just let them run around and expend all that energy,” Kerslake added.

Memories from the day on the ranch were the kind of memories that could raise a child’s spirits and keep a smile on his or her face for a long time to come.

Kerslake pointed out the ranch’s motto, adding how important its meaning is for the ranch: “The best thing for the inside of a kid is the outside of a horse.”

Summaries of the proposed ordinance and resolution follow.

The proposed ordinance C-84-12 would establish dog license fees and other fees by resolution, rather than the current practice of listing fee amounts in Ch. 6.08. Additionally this proposed ordinance would amend all current references to a county pound to include contracted dog shelter facility and stipulate the contractual requirement for such facilities to maintain written records of dogs received into the shelter facility.

The proposed resolution C-85-12 would adopt fee amounts authorized under Ch. 6.08. Annual Dog License fees, which were last changed in 1999, would be increased as follows: the proposed Annual License fee for each unaltered dog from $25.00 to $33.00, and for a neut e r e d o r s p aye d d o g from $7.00 to $10.00.

B o a r d i n g fe e fo r i m pounded dogs would increase from $7.00 to $10.00 per day. No increase is proposed for Impound, Surrender and Adoption fees. The following fees would be eliminated: Late Penalty for license after April 30, Group License fee and Discount for dog owned by person 65 years and over.

The full text of the proposed Ordinance and Resolution may be obtained by calling (360) 679-7397, or dropping by the office of Island County Clerk of the Board during normal office hours. Interested persons may appear at the public hearing and g i ve t e s t i m o ny fo r o r against the proposed Ordinance.

Almost all of the students and advisors, approximately 170 of them, kept in touch with the Ryans and held many, many reunions at their house and a few down Maurine Ryan in California.

The Ryans’ conservation efforts included founding SWIFT, which was instrumental in saving Keystone Spit, now part of Fort Casey State Park. SWIFT v.

The bench and plaque ares being donated by a group of people, The Audubon Student Naturalist Association, that Al and Maurine started and ran in the San Fernando Valley of California from 1965 to 1970. They stopped leading the group so they could move to their property in Coupeville, which they did in August of 1971.
