Helen Chatfield-Weeks holds up a sign during an Island County commissioners’ meeting Monday where the commissioners approved a resolution urging a constitutional amendment to reverse the Citizens United decision. cal to the county’s resolution and six states have passed resolutions in favor of a constitutional amendment.

He claimed over 300 jurisdictions in the country have passed resolutions, five of which are in Washington – one includes Langley – and more than 1,400 registered voters in Island County have signed a petition.

Helen Chatfield-Weeks, a well-known Oak Harbor resident who is a regular at City Council meetings, was also present. She said she hasn’t been to a county commissioners’ meeting in years but made the trip to argue on behalf of the proposed resolution.

“I want to see you all do the right thing for us, we

the people,” Chatfield-Weeks said. “Vote to change so we have a voice.”

But while Chatfield-Weeks’ comments elicited boisterous clapping from the crowd, the proposal proved as controversial in Island County as the decision is throughout the rest of the country.

Jeff Lauderdale, who is hoping to unseat Commissioner Helen Price Johnson in this year’s race for District 1, stepped to the microphone to speak against the measure.

He said he respects the right of citizens to petition their decision makers, but the petition represents about 1 percent of the county’s total population.

He said this could lead to greater limitations, resulting

in even political parties being restricted from contributing financially to campaigns.

“The idea that money is not speech I don’t agree with,” he said. “Otherwise we wouldn’t have the old adage of ‘Put your money where your mouth is.’”

Although several more resolution supporters followed him to the microphone, Lauderdale was not alone in voicing concerns.

A Greenbank attorney is waging a one-man battle against a renewal of a popular levy that funds ambulances and other emergency medical services on Whidbey Island.

The proposition is on the ballot that residents should have already received in the mail for the Aug. 7 primary.

The measure would renew the current property-tax levy of 50 cents per $1,000 for another six years.

EMS levies have gar-

nered a high degree of voter support in past years and this year’s measure only needs a simple majority of votes to pass because of a law change. The hospital’s website, www.whidbeygen. org, has a link to voluminous information about the levy and the work the EMS department does.

While passage seems nearly certain, a self-styled investigative reporter who writes a blog critical of Whidbey General Hospital has tried to throw a wrench in the works, though his criticisms only show one side of the picture.

Rob Born, an attorney and writer of the Whidbey General Reformers blog, questions the EMS

The grassroots group that’s dubbed itself Citizens Ignited is celebrating another victory this week.

In a 2-1 decision Monday, the Island County commissioners approved a resolution that urges Congress to prepare and send to the states for adoption a constitutional amendment that reverses the 2010 Supreme Court decision of Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission.

Commonly known as Citizens United, the controversial ruling essentially determined that corporations and unions have the same First Amendment free speech rights as people and that the government could not restrict them from making independent political expenditures.

Like many equal minded citizens across the country, a group of Island County residents has banded together to build local, state and federal support to reverse the decision. Many of the members were present during Monday’s meeting and spoke in favor of the proposal before the board.

“We think it’s incumbent upon all of us as citizens to take a stand and ask our elected officials to represent our voice,” said Marshall Goldberg, an Oak Harbor resident and Citizens Ignited member.

According to Goldberg, 55 state legislators have signed a letter that is nearly identi-

Car wash provides Trash turns into aggravation for park district a Safe Ride Home

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Safe Ride Home Whidbey Island offers free rides home to anyone who finds themselves in unsafe situations, but the organization needs a little help from three islandwide fundraisers.

Because Safe Ride Home is nonprofit and run completely on donations, organizers are holding fundraising car washes. Come by for a wash, give a donation or volunteer at any of the three locations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 28: Coastal Community Bank in Freeland, Whidbey Island Bank in Oak Harbor or Whidbey Island Bank in Coupeville.

A community member pledged to match $2 for every $1 raised.

Safe Ride Home is a community service offered to everyone. It is a preventative program that pre-pays the taxi cabs of Island County to provide anyone who needs it a safe ride home when they find themselves in an unsafe situation. If someone should not drive for any reason they can call 341-TAXI and get a free, safe and confidential ride home.

Safe Ride Home is a grassroots organization that blossomed out of the passion and motivation of a handful of Whidbey Island residents who want to improve the safety of the island’s roads for all drivers and passengers, regardless of their ages. To get involved, contact Brian Grimm at 360-929-3277.

Someone’s trash has become the park district’s headache.

Several pickup loads of trash have been been dumped on a triangle-shaped piece of property near the dog park and ball fields on Ault Field Road. It turns out the North Whidbey Park and Recreation owns the property and officials are busy trying to figure out the most

affordable way to remove the trash.

“I find it aggravating that the taxpayers have to bear the cost of cleaning it up,” said Bill Walker, executive director of the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District.

The taxpayer funded entity is best known for owning and operating the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool in Oak Harbor.

Walker, who was hired in May as executive director, didn’t realize the district

owned the field next to the dog park. He was fielding complaints about the trash and researched property records to find that North Whidbey Park and Recreation is the owner of the property that is approximately a half acre in size.

The park district received the property years ago from the Navy when it was declared surplus. Most of the land was used for a baseball diamond and a softball field along with the dog park.

A barricade had been placed on the service road to help bar entry to the unused property, but that was knocked down.

Walker is contacting local disposal companies to figure out the best way to remove the trash. He didn’t have a dollar amount yet on the cost of the trash removal.

Once the property is cleared and the barricade restored, then part district officials will look into finding a use for the property.

Park district seeks volunteers to help with bylaws The North Whidbey Park and Recreation District is looking for volunteers to participate in a subcommittee examining the district’s bylaws.

The park district is a tax-

payer supported entity best known for operating the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool It also maintains an off-leash dog park and baseball fields off Ault Field Road. An elected

five-member board oversees the district’s operations.

The district’s bylaws were last revised about eight years ago. People interested in getting involved with the bylaw

subcommittee will have to attend several meetings in August and September.

If interested, contact Bill Walker, director, at 675-7665 or director@oakharborpool.com.

A 57-year-old Oak Harbor man who was involved in various youth-related entities in the community pleaded guilty to raping two boys.

Ronald Asplund appeared in Island County Superior Court Monday dressed in the bright orange jail uniform. He quietly pleaded guilty to two counts of child rape in the second degree for assaulting the two children when they were 12 and 13 years old.

As part of the plea bargain, the prosecution dismissed several other charges against Asplund. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 27 and is facing an indeterminate sentence of up to life in prison with a minimum sentence range of 8.5 to 11 years and three months in prison.

Asplund volunteered as a middle school minis-

try coordinator at the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, which was how he met one of the boys. He molested the boy at a “lock-in” event at the church, according to the police report.

In addition, Asplund volunteered as a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County.

He worked with children through the Navy’s former SAFE program, which offered before and after school daycare at Oak Harbor elementary schools.

And he worked as a substitute teacher at Oak Harbor schools for a limited time in 2000 and 2005.

Asplund, however, wasn’t accused of assaulting children he met through programs besides the church.

Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner with the Oak Harbor Police Department said she and another detective were contacted by people from other commu-

nities who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Asplund as children, but they didn’t want to come forward publicly.

Asplund suffers from lung cancer and is wearing a device which pumps chemotherapy drugs into his body. While he’s been in jail since the beginning of May, it has cost the city of

Oak Harbor about $1,000 a day to provide him with the chemotherapy.

Once he goes to prison, the state will be responsible for the tab.

The Oak Harbor police investigated Asplund in 2006 for allegedly molesting a boy, but there wasn’t enough evidence at the time to charge him.

levy CONTINUED FROM A1 department’s increasing budget, the salaries and especially the overtime pay that paramedics and emergency medical technicians earn.

He obtained salary information for 2011 which he claims “paints a far worse picture of an out-of-control payroll.”

Hospital Commissioner Ron Wallin, on the other hand, addressed the issue at the Clinton voters forum last week and claimed that there are misunderstandings about how overtime works.

Wallin told a crowd at the Clinton Progressive Hall that it’s difficult to cover “such a long island,” and two ambulances are based on South Whidbey, one in Coupeville and three in Oak Harbor.

“We average 7,000 calls a year,” Wallin said, emphasizing he was speaking for himself, not as an elected commissioner. “It’s just astronomical, but our EMS system is top of the line. Wherever you want to go there’s an ambulance there to help you.” If an ambulance from South

Whidbey heads toward an Everett hospital, another one is moves south as a backup, for example.

Yet as Born points out, the ambulance crews are making a lot of money. The top ten paramedics were paid from $114,911 to $150,443 last year.

The top nine EMTs earned from $61,252 to $114,392.

Much of the pay comes from overtime.

“Our paramedics and EMTs are top-notch and highly experienced, and fully deserve a generous deal, but not a life of luxury,” he wrote.

Roger Meyers, the director of Emergency Medical Services, a department of Whidbey General Hospital, explained that overtime pay is “built-in” because the union contract specifies a 24-hour work shift; he said a 24-hour shift is the norm. Under federal law, any work beyond an 8-hour day is overtime, paid at time and a half.

“It looks like a lot of overtime on paper, but it’s because they get 16 hours of overtime a shift,” he said.

Meyers said the employees with the highest pay were those who worked extra

shifts. A full-time paramedic or EMT has to work eight shifts a month, though most work 10.

Meyers said the hospital and the union do salary studies prior to each negotiations and the conclusion is that the salaries are “right in the ballpark” with other agencies.

While the individual employees earn more by working more shifts, Meyers said it doesn’t affect his bottom line. If his employees weren’t willing to work those shifts, he would have to bring in people from outside the county to cover the shifts. It would cost the same amount in salaries whether one person or several are covering the shifts.

On the other hand, Born points out that salaries and benefits increased dramatically after voters overwhelmingly passed a levy to increase the amount collected to 50 cents per $1,000, which is the most allowed under law.

He reported that wages and benefits ballooned 57 percent from $3.02 million in 2006 to over $4.7 million this year.

“While other local public agencies have responsibly tightened their belts during

An ambulance crew transports an accident victim to Whidbey General Hospital. A proposed levy on the primary election ballot would fund continued operation of such emergency medical services on Whidbey at the current level. these tough times, our EMS has been awash in money,” he wrote.

Yet hospital officials point out that the increase in wages was an obvious result of the levy passage and was essentially the fulfillment of a campaign promise. The levy increase helped pay for new ambulance quarters and more ambulances; more staff and more shifts were therefore required.

Born argues that the levy rate is too high, especially compared to other jurisdictions. Compared to Island

County’s rate of 0.50, King County has a 0.30 rate and Skagit’s is set at 0.25, though officials are asking voters for a substantial increase.

Of the 179 EMS tax levy districts within the state, the average levy in 2011 is 0.36, the median levy throughout the state is 0.427 and the most frequently encountered levy rate is 0.50, according to a levy analysis done for the Skagit County EMS. “EMS officials are pressuring us by calling this an ‘allor-nothing’ decision,” Born wrote. “By your ‘no’ vote, you

can tell them to fix their runaway personnel budget—and only then come back with a justifiable and transparent levy proposal.”

Meyers, on the other hand, said he’s cautiously optimistic that the community will once again support the continuation of the levy to keep the ambulances on the road.

“We’ve been very humbled by all the support we’ve received,” he said. “I just hope we can continue providing great service in the future.”

Navy moving sailors, marines into the 21st Century Breathalyzers and less tuition help are among changes

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

A new initiative being implemented by the Department of Defense got a high profile introduction July 17 at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Juan Garcia III, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, spoke at an all hands call at the Skywarrior Theater on the Ault Field Base. Garcia’s first task was to announce the rollout of the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative.

“The second piece to my visit is to say thanks — and that comes from the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations,” Garcia told the group.

According to Garcia, there are five key areas of the new initiative: Readiness, safety, physical fitness, inclusion and continuum of service.

Safety — motorcycle safety in particular — is a big focus of the program.

“We lost 12 sailors last year to motorcycle accidents,” Garcia said, commending sailors on the recent effort to find Aviation Machinist’s Mate Senior Chief William Wolf, with Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136, who was injured while motorcycling and spent two nights in the wilderness before being rescued and hospitalized.

“Nine of those 12 sailors had completed the introductory motorcycle safety class, but had never gotten around to the advanced course or the sport bike course,” Garcia said, adding that new time requirements could be implemented in the future to ensure sailors take the advanced safety classes.

Coming changes A new and much talked about part of the 21st Century initiative is the addition of breathalyzers, which will be in place in every command in the Navy by the end of the calendar year.

Nobody in your chain of command is interested in stopping the legal, responsible use of alcohol,” Garcia said. “But you can’t ignore the data. There is a correlation between alcohol and suicide or sexual assault, for

example.”

Garcia said that of the 20 commanding officers relieved from duty last year who consented to an interview, 13 revealed they were relieved because of an alcohol-related incident.

But Garcia told sailors the breathalyzers are not meant to be used as a punishment.

“This is a leadership tool,” he said. “This is for duty section sailors who need to be on the top of their game.

It will be randomly used on those who are going to work.”

Sailors will also see changes coming to the Navy’s tuition assistance program.

“We know what a valuable tool tuition assistance is, and we’re going to keep it, but it’s going to come down,” Garcia said. “We want to make the money go as far as possible.”

Garcia said future tuition assistance could be limited to those earning associate, bachelor or master degrees.

Those earning a doctoral degree may not be eligible.

Those who use tuition assistance and fail a class could be made to pay it back.

But Garcia was also there to reassure personnel on other issues, one of them being the Enlisted Retention Board.

“The ERB was a one-time only measure to break the choke points in the Perform to Serve program,” Garcia said. “The early indication in the aftermath of ERB is that PTS is back in balance.”

High retention rates, due

“This is for duty section sailors who need to be on the top of their game.”

Juan Garcia III, Assistant Secretary of Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs

in part to people wanting to stay in because of the economy and because of 9/11, caused a backlog in some of the rates at a time when the Navy was trying to reduce numbers, Garcia said.

“There were 31 rates we were able to identify that were 103 percent overmanned,” he said. “Every sailor was encouraged to transfer into those undermanned rates.”

To date, Garcia said 2,936 sailors were transitioned out of active duty through the ERB, which represents about one percent of the force. While some were granted early retirement, others were transitioned into the Reserves.

“These are good sailors,” Garcia said. “We’re committed to ensuring they have the best transition possible to try to keep them on the Navy team.”

IN OUR OPINION

It’s that time of year again No election year seems complete until we whine about the inane way in which Washington state conducts its elections.

First, of course, is voting by mail. Voting by mail was once done through absentee ballots, largely by people in the military or those who felt compelled to spend a couple of weeks golfing in Arizona. But then someone decided voting by mail was cheaper than opening and manning voting booths on a single election day. Former Island County Auditor Art Hyland was one of the first to jump on the vote-by-mail bandwagon, which may help explain why he is referred to as “former.”

Oregon was one of the first vote-by-mail states. But it at least had the common sense to make people vote by election day. That is, any votes received after election day were not counted.

Washington’s nonsensical representatives in Olympia didn’t even have the brains to copy Oregon’s model. The dim bulbs in our state’s capitol decided ballots need not be received by election day, but only postmarked on that day. As a result, ballots dribble in for days or weeks. If there’s ever a close presidential election that depends on the election outcome from Washington voters, the media will revolt awaiting the results. That one ballot postmarked on election day in Tibet might decide who’s president and yet take months to arrive by yak.

Voting by mail with its added complexity of sending out thousands of ballots separated by precinct, including military forces worldwide, necessitated moving primary elections head. The primary, once sensibly held in September just prior to the general election in November, is now held in August. In fact, it’s worse than that because the law allows ballots to be mailed out three weeks in advance.

As a result, Friday, July 20, thousands of Whidbey Island residents received ballots that don’t have to be postmarked for return until the official election day, Aug. 7.

One hopeful thing this year is that the ballots arrived on the first day of Ramadan, which may well violate some tenet of Islam. We urge our Muslim friends to complain vociferously, then surely our politically correct Legislature will go back to voting the old fashioned way that doesn’t even require a stamp.

Letters to the editor Sportsmen bag 1 with 2 to go

I have read with great interest the reasons why our current county commissioners, up for election, should be retained. I’m sure that some believe, but I think that the sportsmen and their families may disagree when they think back to the decision that was made by the three in power at the time concerning hunting on Deer Lagoon.

The residents of the area set out to create an environment for their own personal use, and not share this natural resource with the sportsmen of Whidbey Island who had been using the lagoon long before many of the residents built and moved to the island. It was a good appeal but not with solid facts and was also bought into by the two remaining commissioners.

Now I see that Commissioner Angie Homola brought up the lagoon in and article in The

Whidbey Examiner concerning target shooting on private property. It seems that she is proud that she voted against island sportsmen.

During the already decided hearing on Deer Lagoon in Freeland, there were many folks wearing camo hats who are voting residents and maybe, just maybe, these votes were the ones who voted Mr. Dean out of office.

As the old adage goes, “What goes around, comes around.”

I know my friends and other sportsmen and their families have a long memory, and I am sure that they will know what to do with their votes at the primary elections for commissioners. One down, two to go.

For all these reasons and more, it’s important to reelect Commissioner Homola.

A vote is coming up for the EMS funding increase/ continuation.

I feel it is important that the public be informed of both sides of this issue. Whidbey

General Hospital has heavily promoted EMS, and is not allowing the other side of the issue to be presented on the ballot.

As a physician I am naturally in favor of supporting medical care. When it comes to EMS funding, though, if you review the numbers you will see that our local EMS system has been overfunded for many years. Despite the general budget cuts, the EMS system has had much more money than needed, and has expanded their facilities, raised their salaries, and still had an excess.

Please review the accurate numbers as relayed to Mr. Rob Born by the hospital as a result of his public records requests. These numbers can be found online at www.whidbeygeneralreformers.org. I am sure Mr. Born would be available to write an informative piece for your paper If requested. I believe you can contact him via the website.

Letters to the editor Find our who’s selling candidates A lot of people blame the U.S. Supreme Court for damaging our democratic election process by giving corporations more influence, but this is true only to a degree.

Corporations and wealthy individuals have been influencing elections for a long time. The means to nullify that influence has been at our fingertips for a long time, as well, but few people seem to use it.

Anyone who can type www. pdc.wa.gov into a web browser can tell who is trying to sell you a “product” in a few minutes. Every candidate for public office must disclose his/ her contributors, by name and amount, to the Public Disclosure Commission. For every office, the first page of contributors for any candidate or ballot initiative will reveal the top contributors. If you trust those contributors’ personal or business ethics, then it’s up to your judgment.

If not, then be very afraid of what that candidate or initiative will do, or not do, for you.

If you can’t research the PDC website yourself, then ask anyone who comes to your door on behalf of a candidate or ballot initiative to show you the first page of contributors to the campaign.

You will save a lot of time and learn a lot more than by listening to some stranger who may not know any more than you do.

A ray of light for commissioner I am writing in support of Helen Price Johnson’s reelection this year. I came to know Helen over the years as a local business owner and

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

active community volunteer.

I observed that she demonstrated excellent leadership qualities in whatever role she served in church, school, community or business. As our Island County commissioner she has restructured county departments to increase effectiveness and efficiencies with fewer resources and has been a good steward of Island County water resources, parks and trails.

In situations where ideas and policies are challenged I have seen Helen respond in respectful, fair minded and even handed ways. She is always willing to listen to anyone’s opinion. In an era when politics is often polarized and one party doesn’t want to hear out the other she is a ray of light. She listens and looks for the common goal everyone can agree upon and to unite people to work together.

She was elected to her first term of office at a difficult time when budget cuts were necessary. She was forced to make cuts but froze her own salary and cut her benefits to save the county money as well. Responsible government action and constituent concerns are important to her.

She works collaboratively to address constituent concerns whether it is hunting at Deer Lagoon, signing, safety, public beach access or transportation issues. She has facilitated easier public access to county government and works to encourage economic growth in our county. I believe she has demonstrated responsible and responsive administration of county government. I plan to vote for Helen Price Johnson for Island County Commissioner and urge you to do the same.

Only Lauderdale went to bat for us This election is very important so sorting through the five candidates running for Island County commissioner;

He worried that things were moving too quickly, that he personally

District 1 is of vital importance. My personal choice is Jeff Lauderdale.

Jeff Lauderdale is the only candidate who went to bat for us regarding Island County’s overbearing septic system inspection program.

He understood our concerns as senior citizens on a fixed income. Having to hire a professional and pay hundreds of dollars for his services every year is just too much to bear.

His solution was easy enough, yet the current powers that be at both the state and local level are not willing to listen.

Jeff Lauderdale’s credentials are impeccable and his skills would be most beneficial to our community.

Anyone who would dedicate so much time to attending Island County meetings and researching topics like the pending Shoreline Management Plan, and how it impacts island residents deserves our support.

Jeff Lauderdale is the only candidate who thoroughly researched and analyzed the issues and how they impact Island County residents. I really appreciate Jeff Lauderdale’s efforts to help us, and that is why my friends, neighbors, and I are voting for Jeff Lauderdale.

Town needs blunt honesty I just want to say it’s about time! I’m not sure the town is ready for the blunt honesty and truth from Phil Collier but it is exactly what it needs.

Phil has my vote! It is time for this town to get a real person in a chair instead of these fake wannabes.

Time for someone that has had to work for what they have to be in there and show them the reality of things and get away from the textbook of how they think it should be. I hope you get elected.

This town isn’t ready.... but it needs Phil Collier!

learned about the proposal the night before.

“This issue has not had adequate public conversation, it’s a last minute thing and here you are going to the president of United States with no public dialogue at this level,” he said.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she wanted to clear up any misconceptions, saying that the issue was advertised to the public and discussed at a recent staff session, that the board had a presentation and that the commissioners had been visited individually by the petitioners weeks before.

“There is nothing last minute or secretive about this,” Price Johnson said.

She added that she had nothing to do with the petitioning.

Commissioner Angie Homola said she believes she signed the petition but couldn’t verify it at the time. However, she spoke in favor of the resolution, saying that it’s concerning to have to take action just to try and convince the Supreme Court that corporations are not equal to people.

“This has been a concern for a long time so I think it’s the right thing to do to send a message to

Congress,” Homola said.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson, who recused herself from the recent work session discussion for having donated to the cause, spoke against the proposal. She refuted what she said was misinformation about the Constitution and cited concerns similar to Lauderdale’s about the long range impacts to campaign committees and nonprofits, such as “the NAACP and the Sierra Club.”

Yee Nam Ng

With a heavy heart, we mourn Yee Nam Ng. He passed at 10:10 p.m. on July 15, 2012, resting peacefully in his own home with his entire immediate family surrounding him. He was born July 2, 1935 in Shicheng Village, West Sea Taishan City, Guangdong Province, China.

Ng was born to a peasant family, with many siblings.

He was given the opportunity to study as a child by his own efforts. He graduated from the West Sea Ren Yuan grade school, Taishan City, in 1959 and graduated Taishan Sports School in 1962. From 1962 to 1964 he worked at the food processing plants in the West Sea to do their accounting. During 1964-1966 in the West Financial Accounting Board, he obtained the position as accounting chief. From 1966 to 1990 he found a new passion as a butcher, where he got to know many people and make new friends, he became very well known; tirelessly working to support his family of seven.

In March 1990, his brother-in-law (Chen Zhou, who owns Hong Kong Gardens Restaurant in Anacortes) sponsored his immigration, which fortunately moved them to the United States.

He brought his wife and two youngest children to the United States to carry out the second journey of his life. The three elder children immigrated in 1995. They worked in the restaurants as a family and learned how to operate this industry from their good friend who owned Fortune Mandarin Restaurant in Mount Vernon.

The year 1999 was pivotal, where they took their chances by opening their own restaurant in Oak Harbor.

The businesses continued to grow; now two restaurants

OBITUARY Barbara Jean Lougheed

The family of Barbara Jean Lougheed regret to report her passing in the early morning hours of July 19, 2012. Barbara had a brief struggle with pneumonia but passed peacefully.

Barbara was born March 18, 1931 in Bruce, Wisconsin to Lulu and Donald Colquhoun along with her brothers Myron, Wayne and sister Helen. They moved to Montesano, Washington, where Barbara graduated high school and married Dennis K. Lougheed. They had 4 children, Denise, Deborah, Bruce, and Karen, 4 grandchildren, Aaron, Sarah, Kimberly, and Lauren, and 4 great grandchildren, Braeden, Riley, William, and Jeremiah.

Over the years the family lived in central Washington, Colorado, and many years in the Seattle area before settling onto Whidbey Island in 1979. During her years on Whidbey, Barbara selflessly gave countless hours of service to the Senior Center and the Senior Thrift store.

Barbara held several jobs over the years, but she was a homemaker at heart and loved caring for family and others. Her greatest exper-

Barbara Jean Lougheed tise was sewing and she passed this skill down to her children. Yes, even Bruce can sew. She could make anything that you could show her from a catalog and no one could ever tell.

Babe Ruth tumbles in pool play sports in brief

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball team lost its final two games in pool play at the North Washington State Tournament for 14-year-olds in Port Angeles over the weekend.

Oak Harbor fell 6-4 to Olympic Friday and then 7-2 to Ellensburg Saturday.

A late rally wasn’t enough against Olympic. Oak Harbor trailed 3-1 heading into the sixth when Olympic scored three runs to go up 6-1. Oak Harbor recovered in the bottom half of the inning to match Olympic’s three-run effort but could not complete to comeback.

After Olympic scored one in the first inning off starter Trent Benson, Oak Harbor tied it in the bottom half. Kevyn Johnson boarded on an error and was forced at second on Christian Bertram’s fielder’s choice. Bertram stole second, took third on an error and scored on Tyler Snavely’s long sacrifice fly.

The score remained 1-1 until Olympic scored single runs in the fourth and fifth.

Down 6-1 in the sixth, Johnson got Oak Harbor’s three-run inning

started with a base hit. Bertram’s fielder’s choice forced out Johnson, then Robert Herring was hit by a pitch and Snavely walked to load the bases. Bertram caught Olympic off guard and stole home.

Noah Zuniga then lined a single to center that got by the fielder and scored two runs.

Oak Harbor had only two other hits in the game, a double

by Preston Rankin and single by Bertram.

Coach Bill Young said Benson “kept the normally active Olympic bats in check through five innings” and Johnson and Quentin Tungate “performed well in relief.”

He said his team played well defensively, especially third baseman Zuniga and center fielder Sean Erskine.

A devastating first inning destroyed Oak Harbor in its loss to Ellensburg, a game between two 0-2 teams in pool play.

Oak Harbor’s leadoff hitter walked but was thrown out at second on a steal attempt compounded by a miscommunication. The second hitter singled and then was picked off first. A double by Snavely and a single by Tungate followed, but instead of having two runs in,

two on and no outs, Oak Harbor failed to score in the inning.

Things didn’t get any better in the bottom half of the first when Ellensburg scored four runs with the help of a walk, hit batter, wild pitch, balk and two passed balls.

Oak Harbor pushed across a run in the third. With one out, Bertram walked and stole second, Snavely walked and Tungate was hit by a pitch. Herring’s fielder’s choice scored the run. Zuniga walked to reload the bases, but Oak Harbor couldn’t pick up another run.

Ellensburg added a run in the fourth, then Oak Harbor scored its final run in the top of the sixth.

With one out, Rankin was hit by a pitch and went to second on Ryan Valencia’s sacrifice bunt. Max Van Dam walked and Benson singled, then Rankin scored on an error.

Oak Harbor finished with seven hits and eight walks, but left 12 men stranded. Rankin rapped two singles; Snavely had a double; and Bertram, Tungate, Erskine and Benson singled.

Young said he “could not be more pleased” with the improvement of his team over the course or the season, then added, “There is still much more to be worked on.”

The top local ultra team was the Ultra Educators (Mike Crebbin, Jeremy Day, Frank Jacques, Eric Peterson, Jay Turner, Andy Wesley), which placed third in the 11-team ultra men’s division (25:55:33).

Return of the Shell Sharks (Andrew Wyman, Jason Hynd, James Steller) won the four-team, regular mixed corporate division (24:40:08).

A group of Oak Harbor High School runners, the High Milers (Alex Laiblin, Hannah Bressler, Ashley Everett, Carolynn Wicker, John Rodeheffer, Joshua Crebbin, Mark Johnston, Sebastian Ceasar, Adriel Eckart, Christina Wicker, Patrick Mayer, Miguel Guzman), finished first in the two-team high-school division (25:03:01).

Community band’s tunes sweeten Windjammer Park

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

A light breeze over quiet waves on a sunny Thursday evening may seem paradisal on its own, but add an hour of upbeat live music and the experience becomes simply divine.

The All Island Community Band performs from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursdays throughout the summer at the Windjammer Park gazebo. Grab a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the sweet sounds of summer for free.

Band director Bruce Seltveit said he and the band come out every week for “love of music.”

“All musicians are hams,” he laughed. “We love people to hear us play. We love to see families out here, kids running around while we play.”

“This is just the funnest thing I’ve ever done is playing these community concerts,” Seltveit said. As the

Admission is free. ●● SeaNotes Big Band performs: 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday, July 28 at Crockett Barn in Coupeville. Admission is $10. ●● 7 to 8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 13 at the Windjammer Park gazebo.

musicians gathered in the gazebo, community members formed a half circle with chairs and blankets. They chatted happily, children and dogs playing in the grass.

“It’s nice to see the glow of people’s faces and smiles as they listen to the music and tap along as they recognize it, and getting to mingle,” said Kathy Seltveit, Bruce’s wife and self-proclaimed “number one fan.”

Playing the music live in the park is an open invitation for more people to participate, listen and enjoy the beach, Kathy Seltveit said. They would love to have more children running around, as this is a great way for children to be introduced to music, Bruce Seltveit added.

One little guy was happy to oblige.

As soon as the musicians began to play, 3-year-old John Cornell V took center stage and presented his own choreography. The energetic redhead elicited smiles from audience members, some of whom clapped to the beat of songs and sang along with the National Anthem.

Another child enjoying the event was Celeste Luehr, 2, who sat on her grandpa’s lap. Tom Luehr enjoyed seeing his granddaughter, who was visiting from Newcastle, Wash.

“We like the music. Well, I bet she will be a musician,” Tom Luehr said of Celeste.

The Luehrs have come in past years when the band has performed at Windjammer Park.

“It’s just down home, good basic entertainment,” Tom Luehr said.

Many of the audience members remember when song and dance

were the biggest form of entertainment, Kathy Seltveit said.

“You can see them enjoy the music and kind of go back in time.

To me, that’s special to my heart,” Kathy Seltveit said. “I think a lot of it too is to bring the community together. To support and enjoy and have a beautiful place to enjoy that.

It puts youthfulness in us.”

The All Island Community Band is just that: a community band.

“The idea is for anybody to feel they can play,” Bruce Seltveit said.

There are no auditions and the musicians range in age from high school to seniors.

The most important aspect of the band is “just musicians being able to get together and have fun;” Bruce Seltveit said he certainly is. Over the years, he has played in many groups but he only stayed in the ones that were fun.

Bruce Seltveit said the band would like to build up to two evening performances per week. He plans to invite other bands to perform on the second night, such as SeaNotes Big Band, which Bruce Seltveit also directs. SeaNotes Big Band is holding three concerts this summer on Saturday, July 28 at Crockett Barn, Monday, Aug. 13 at Windjammer Park and Saturday, Aug. 25 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge.

Christi Wans, a 2005 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, has worked with Bruce Seltveit in the past and played with his band in high school.

Wans also plays trumpet.

“He was a good influence, a good role model. We’ve got a lot of music majors out of him,” Wans said of Bruce Seltveit. “He’s just been a really great musical influence.”

Wans noted that four generations of people were playing in the band that evening.

“So it’s pretty great, a lot of fun.

It’s just good to get people out here listening to music, especially with this weather,” Wans said.

As the band played fun marches and cheery tunes like “Owls on Parade” and “Baritone Boogie,” featuring Jim Bruner on his euphonium, the evening remained warm and the audience happy under the setting sun.

Students teach how to ‘Discover Local’

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Oak Harbor is packed with local gems, and students from Skagit Valley College’s Phi Theta Kappa club plan to celebrate that with their Discover Local event July 28.

Every two years, the club does an Honors in Action project but this is the first time they will hold a community event. Lauren Cribb, who graduated from SVC in June, came up with the idea for showcasing everything Oak Harbor has to offer its citizens.

“We want to emphasize to the community the difficulties of owning a small business in a world run by corporations, and the benefits of shopping local.

Discover Local will also

promote numerous ways of getting involved in Oak Harbor, from the many service organizations to nonprofit businesses. Together, we will bring people together in an event all about this amazing community we live in,” Cribb said.

“Anyone who comes should walk away knowing something about their community they didn’t before,” Cribb added.

Cribb and club members have been working on the project for more than two months. The idea stemmed from this year’s Honors in Action topic: the culture of competition.

“Discover Local started off as an event to emphasize small businesses and shopping local. Since that original idea, it has morphed into an event for Oak

Harbor to show off everything it has to offer,” Cribb said. The club researched competition and economics and will present their business research at the event.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday, July 28, Discover Local will take over Pioneer Way. Local restaurants will be included in Discover Flavor and other small businesses will be part of Discover Community. Local clubs and organizations make up Discover Service; live music and acts create Discover Entertainment.

There will be food samples, music, entertainment, information and more.

There will also be a carnival-style game area in Old Town Mall for children, Cribb added. A hotdog lunch and raffle will raise money for scholarships for

SVC students. All of the businesses that donated a raffle item will be put on a stamp card, and people who visit every business on the card will be entered into a raffle for a $100 gas certificate.

Putting the event together was also a growing experience for club members, who visited every business involved and introduced themselves to business owners.

“That was a really cool thing for our club members,” Cribb said. “I think it’s giving the members a lot of experience getting in front of people.”

Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society of two-year and technical colleges. It promotes leadership, fellowship, scholarship and service.

Whidbey Playhouse opens studio to performers All performers can get ready for an evening of fellowship and sharing.

Friday, July 27, the Whidbey Playhouse will host the Performance Society in the Star Studio.

“I’m excited about the future of the orchestra,” Burns said. “Our Board of Directors and Advisory Committee are dedicated not only to the sustainability, but the growth of SCO, and to raising our standard of performance even higher. I am in full support of their efforts.”

Board of Directors President Michael Lauver said he was sad to see “Maestro Burns” step away from the podium.

“Legh Burns was the driving force behind the establishment of SCO and has led them to heightened levels of performance. Legh’s passion for music, artistic ability, and commitment to excellence have been a blessing for classical music lovers on Whidbey Island,” said Lauver in a press release. “The Board and Orchestra Advisory Committee are making careful plans for the selection of a new conductor. We want to make sure that our conductor will be a dynamic leader, an integral part of the community and provide our audiences with the same superb performances they have enjoyed under the baton of Maestro Burns.”

Oak Harbor ‘Bark for Life’ benefit goes to the dogs Canines help fight cancer

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Photo courtesy of Kim Welch

Oak Harbor resident Kim Welch has a light moment with Americas, her springer spaniel/lab mix, before the dog died in 2010. She is helping organize the “Bark for Life,” an extension of the popular “Relay for Life” that raises money to fight cancer.

A fundraiser this weekend will allow Whidbey Island dog owners to help in the fight against doggie cancer.

The first “Bark for Life” fundraiser takes place Saturday, July 28, at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor.

A takeoff on the annual Relay for Life for humans, the Bark for Life allows people and their favorite pooch to walk a pre-marked course at the park and make a donation that will go toward the American Cancer Society.

Where the Relay for Life has people who form teams to raise money by walking around a track overnight at North Whidbey Middle

School, this weekend’s Bark for Life is a bit simpler.

“We’re just asking a donation for each dog and human that registers,” said Kim Welch, one of the organizers of the fundraiser.

She has wanted to participate in a dog-related fundraiser since she took part in the Relay for Life several years ago. Her dog, a springer spaniel/lab named Americas, was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. The pooch lost her right shoulder and leg because of the disease. Despite the handicap, she lived more than three years before passing away in early 2010.

There will be a variety of dog-related activities that will take place throughout the afternoon. Such groups as Whidbey Animals Improvement Foundation, FETCH, and Old Dog Haven will have booths. Dog train-

ers, dog agility groups and K9s from the Navy base are also scheduled to attend the event.

Welch said an oncologist from Seattle specializing in dogs will be on hand to answer questions from concerned dog owners.

She said the event benefits the American Cancer Society and the research it funds. She mentioned that the results from that research will also trickle down and be a help to canines too.

The Bark for Life takes place Saturday, July 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Windjammer Park.

Participants will meet behind the windmill to register and make a donation. They will receive a doggie bag filled with treats and coupons.

For more information, contact Welch at 679-8216 or Nicki Oldham at 929-6662.
