Transit highway changes ruffle residents

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Residents living on the edge of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve are concerned proposed changes to an intersection will make driving conditions on Highway 20 even more dangerous.

About 20 people, including local residents, state and county transportation officials and State Rep. Norma Smith, met Monday afternoon near the intersection of Highway 20 and Parker Road.

Island Transit is planning to alter the triangle-shaped property surrounded by Old Smith Prairie Road, Parker Road and Highway 20. The agency plans to close the two separate intersections and build a new road that bisects the triangle.

Plans also call for the addition of a “bike and ride,” several parking spots and a kiosk informing visitors about Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve.

Haugen’s opponent disowns negative mailers

Haugen’s voting record and fault her for cutting school funding and raising taxes.

“Has Mary Margaret Haugen failed our schools? And our children,” one mailer states in bold type next to a photo of a school girl.

Haugen, who labeled them as “hit pieces” and “dirty politics,” blames her opponent, Rep. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor.

“It’s pretty awful. Some of them are just plain false,” she

said. “My biggest problem is when they are outright lies.”

Bailey, however, said she’s also angry that the “negative” mailers were sent out and she had nothing to do with them. She didn’t even know about them until a friend who received them in the mail showed her.

Incumbent Island County Commissioner Angie Homola and challenger Jill Johnson will move on to the General Election, based on the first count of primary votes Tuesday night.

Homola, a Democrat representing District 2, and Republican rival Johnson are neck and neck in the vote count, with Johnson ahead by 1,005 to Homola’s 969 votes. Challengers Jim Campbell and Phil Collier were knocked out of the race.

In District 1, incumbent Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a Democrat, is far outpacing her four rivals, taking 57 percent of the vote.

Republican challenger Jeff Lauderdale will go head-tohead with her in November.

The EMS levy passed easily with more than 70 percent of the votes. The measure to renew the property tax levy of 50 cents per $1,000 of value for six years needed 50 percent of the votes to pass.

Reached by phone, Jill Johnson said she did better than she had anticipated.

“I think that when more than 50 percent of the voters cast ballots for someone other than the incumbent — and in her home district — that’s a referendum on the last four years,” she said.

Freeland man who stabbed parents pleads guilty

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A Freeland man who stabbed both of his parents at their Bush Point Terrace home last October has entered guilty pleas in connection with a plea bargain.

Sean DeMerchant pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court July 30 to attempted assault in the second degree and assault in the second degree. Both charges are domestic-violence related.

DeMerchant is scheduled to be sentenced Sept.

24. Under the plea bargain, prosecution and defense will recommend a sentence of eight years and eight months in prison.

The judge lifted a nocontact order so that DeMerchant’s parents can go see him in prison. The ordered had been modified earlier to allow them to correspond in writing.

The Department of Corrections will conduct a

pre-sentence investigation before sentencing, which will also include a sentence recommendation.

Such investigations are unusual in cases that don’t involve sexual assault, but was ordered in this case because of DeMerchant’s history of mental health issues.

A forensic evaluation by a psychologist at Western State Hospital diagnosed DeMerchant with bipolar disorder and substance abuse problems, possibly with schizoaffective disorder. The psychologist concluded, however, that he was competent to stand trial.

On the day of the assaults, DeMerchant was evaluated at Whidbey General Hospital for mental health problems and treatment for an apparent suicide attempt. He was released that evening, but became disruptive enough that hospital employees called the police.

DeMerchant’s parents picked him up in Coupeville

DeMerchant stabbed his mother and father in the back and cut his mother’s neck.

Deputies responding to a 911 call found the two victims lying in bed bleeding and DeMerchant nearby.

Paul DeMerchant, who was 73 years old at the time, was treated at Whidbey General Hospital. Norma DeMerchant, 66, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center for treatment.

Both victims are doing well, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Illicit sex suspected in Navy theater

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 19-year-old Oak Harbor man is facing a child molestation charge for allegedly having sex with a middleschool girl inside the movie theater at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station early this year, court documents alleged.

Prosecutors charged Kasey Maxwell in Island County Superior Court July 12 with child molestation in the second degree.

The mother of the

13-year-old alleged victim reported to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service that she was concerned her daughter had sex with Maxwell, according to the report by a NCIS special agent.

Witnesses said Maxwell and the girl disappeared to the balcony of the Sky Warrior Theater for about 45 minutes. When she returned, the girl said they “did it,” the report states.

In an interview with a special agent, Maxwell allegedly admitted to hav-

ing sex with the underaged girl. He claimed the girl said she was 15 years old, but he acknowledged she acted and looked much younger, the report indicates.

The NCIS report states that a “juvenile offense report” was issued against Maxwell in 2010 after he was caught having sex with a 16-year-old girl in a car parked at the Sky Warrior Theater.

A 24-year-old man considered to be a Level II sex offender will be living in Oak Harbor.

The Island County Sheriff’s Office released a sex offender public notification last week which states that Christoval Gutierrez will be living on the 1300 block of N. Oak Harbor Street.

As a Level II registered sex offender, Gutierrez is considered a moderate risk of reoffending.

Gutierrez pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court last September to one count of indecent liberties with forcible compulsion. Gutierrez sexually assaulted a 21-year-old woman, which resulted in a pregnancy. He was acquainted with the victim.

According to court documents, Gutierrez stated that he “did attack her,” but denied the rape allegation.

Gutierrez has two additional non-convicted complaints for sexual assaults, according to the sheriff’s

Committee responds to Navy groundwater pumping

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The Navy isn’t going to stop pumping large amounts of groundwater from North Whidbey, but a volunteer group is advising Island County commissioners about how to respond to a controversy surrounding the issue.

Since the dispute arose, concerned citizens have created a group dedicated to preserving their water wells in the face of the perceived threat. The members urged the Island County Water Resources Advisory Committee to take action and are relatively pleased with the results.

“It’s very encouraging,” said resident Bruce Saari, who first raised the alarm about the Navy’s groundwater pumping and succeeded in getting a wide swath of residents and officials involved in the issue.

The central concern that the Island County Water Resources Advisory Committee seeks to respond to is the lack of transparency in the process of granting water rights. Neighbors of the Gallery Golf Course were surprised and upset to find

out this year that the Navy received a permit from the state to draw up to 39 million gallons of groundwater each year to irrigate the golf course greens. While the process took two years and included opportunities for public input, neighbors and county officials just didn’t know about it.

The committee approved a letter to the county commissioners during a meeting Thursday that was drafted after weeks of gathering information, listening to public testimony and talking to officials. The committee, commonly referred to as WRAC, is meeting with commissioners at an Aug. 8 work session.

The committee advises commissioners to respond to a letter from the base commander about the issue and ask him to confirm in writing that only about 10 million gallons will be pumped each year; to urge the Department of Ecology to communicate more effectively with counties and citizens; and ask state Legislators to change state water laws to be more environmentally friendly.

The state currently has a “use it or lose it” rule on

water rights, which WRAC members felt only encourages rights holders to use water instead of conserving it.

A dozen or so neighbors attended the meeting to voice concerns about the Navy’s plans. Shannon Stone complained that the water level in her well has dropped about two feet in recent weeks.

“I’ve lived here 23 years and I don’t have an artesian well anymore,” she said.

Indeed, Doug Kelly, the county’s hydrogeologist, confirmed that the water level near the golf course has dropped by more than two feet in the last month due to the pumping by the Navy.

Kelly was hired by the Navy to help with the permit while he was working for a Seattle hydrogeology firm.

While the drop in the level of water under the ground seems dramatic, Kelly said the neighbors have little to worry about. He said the water level in wells will probably decline by about three feet by the end of the watering season; he said it won’t even come close to being enough to cause impairment of wells or saltwater intrusion.

“The story here is that the drawdown is what we were

expecting to see,” he said.

After the Navy’s plans came to light, a group of more than 60 neighbors created a group called Preserve Our Water Wells. Members of the group, two county commissioners, the Navy commander and a Department of Ecology official have exchanged a series of emails about the issue that have been circulating around the community.

Commissioner Angie Homola, a Democrat, sent Capt. Jay Johnston, commander of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, a letter suggesting a couple of measures the Navy could do to help alleviate community concerns. In response, the Navy is following her idea of compiling testing data and placing it on the county health department’s website for public viewing.

Saari said both Homola’s and the WRAC’s letter accurately reflect the neighbors’ concerns and the solutions they espouse.

Republican Commissioner Kelly Emerson, on the other hand, upset members of Preserve Our Water Wells — who are voters in her district — by writing Johnston a letter stating that the group’s

Disastrous car chase propelled by Four Loko

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 33-year-old man who was intoxicated on a brand of alcohol called Four Loko was seriously injured in June after stealing a car parked at a North Whidbey gas station and causing a three-car accident during a car chase, court documents show.

John Johnson is facing a long list of charges in Island

County Superior Court, including theft of a motor vehicle, DUI, reckless driving, possession of a legend drug and driving while license suspended.

An Oak Harbor resident Jordan Burns reported that he and his fiance were in a gas station on Ault Field Road when they heard the man’s car — which the woman had been borrowing — start up and drive off. He jumped into

his car and gave chase.

Burns chased the car on Oak Harbor Road. Burns reported that the thief drove erratically and was traveling up to 100 miles an hour when he crossed the centerline, hitting another car head-on. The impact propelled the stolen car into a third car.

The alleged car thief, later identified as Johnson, tried to flee on foot, but was stopped

by Burns and an accident victim, according to a report

by Oak Harbor Police Officer Manuel Silveira.

The driver of the one of the cars involved in the collision had to be extracted and transported to the hospital.

The officer arrested Johnson at the scene. He noted that Johnson’s breath smelled of alcohol, he had four pills in his pocket and an

open can of “Four Loko,” a malt beverage banned in the state, in his coat.

Johnson was evaluated at the scene by emergency medical technicians, who advised that he was not injured and refusing medical treatment for small cuts on his forehead. Silveira was going to take Johnson to the hospital for a blood draw related to DUI, but stopped at the jail on

the way because Johnson had to use the bathroom. Johnson collapsed at the jail and faded in and out of consciousness.

The officers called an ambulance to the jail. Johnson was transported to Whidbey General Hospital, where a doctor determined he was suffering from severe internal injuries. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for surgery.

Island County’s nine volunteer lawyers receive appreciation The Volunteer Lawyer Program of Island County this week issued “Letters of Appreciation” to nine attorneys who provided legal services at no cost to low income

individuals and families during the first half of 2012. The attorneys are Sara Andrews, Jacob Cohen, Mary Conte, Margaret Delp, Kenneth Manni, Nathan Manni, Anna

Founded in 2002, the Volunteer Lawyer Program assists low‐income Island County residents through a

Artists make Coupeville festive

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Nearly 200 artists will descend upon Coupeville this weekend to participate in one of the most popular festivals on Whidbey Island.

The Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival takes place Aug. 11 and 12. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Organizers have lined up 190 artists that will be manning booths throughout Coupeville’s historic downtown.

For Barbara Lyter, who owns On the Surface, the weekend festival marks her second time presenting her handmade purses, scarves and other wearables.

“I’m really excited to be back into it again,” Lyter said as she showed off some of the items she will display, presently located at the Gary Oak Gallery in downtown Oak Harbor. She is also entering a felt vase in the juried art show at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

Grace Tiffany, who is organizing the artists, estimated approximately 30 percent of the participants are first timers, with some coming as far away as New York, Missouri, California and Arizona.

Tiffany said that the popularity of the festival has expanded through “word of mouth” among artists. The festival’s quality art show and positive reputation help attract artists from across the

Oak Harbor’s 5th Annual Pig Roast is hosting

country. She added that the festival has a significant waiting list for artists wanting a spot in a future festival.

Tiffany highlighted the work of several artists from around the Puget Sound region who are participating this year.

Joel Brown, a Deming artist, creates fountains from recycled farm plow disks.

Camano Island artist Lislie Whaley, owner of Moonswept Studio, has an in-home studio with kiln where she produces fused glass art that includes dishes, serve ware, wall art and jewelry.

Tacoma artist Tamara Christensen produces Art of Stone sculptures that are made of recycled products and are acid stained to create one-of-kind items.

The festival will also feature an “Artists in Action” area where festival goers can witness demonstrations by wood carvers, painters, quilters and drawers working in the grassy area next to the museum. Demonstrations go from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Coupeville Festival Association President Mike Dessert said the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival is likely one of the oldest con-

tinuously operated festivals in the state.

He said it takes approximately 200 artists and other volunteers to organize and operate the festival each year.

One problem he hopes will be rectified this year is the gridlock that occurred last year when the traffic backup reached a mile long. This year, two additional parking lots are available with volunteers directing drivers toward them. Shuttle buses, which cost $3 and benefit the Boys and Girls Club, will take folks from the lots to the festival.

The Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival over the last 48 years has donated more than $720,000 to the community in the form of grants and scholarships, Dessert said.

Even though the festival is at hand this weekend, work is already taking place to prepare for next year’s event.

Organizers are looking for people who want to contribute to next year’s poster art.

Artists have to be living in Washington state to be considered. Application deadline for the poster art is Sept. 15.

IN OUR OPINION

Real letter beats a virtual person It was quaint to see controversy erupt in a recent meeting of the county Law & Justice Council, when member Angie Homola, a county commissioner, had someone read a letter from her as she was away at another engagement.

Prosecutor Greg Banks complained that Homola should have been present, rather than sending a letter.

The council was embroiled in a battle with the county commissioners, asking that a sales tax increase to support law and justice departments be placed on the November ballot. None of the commissioners seemed to support the idea for one reason or another, but Homola was particularly criticized because she wanted the extra money to help other needy departments as well.

Political arguments are common, but the novelty of someone complaining about a letter was unexpected in the 21st Century. For those concerned about open public meetings, letters aren’t on the radar. Quill and ink were good enough for the founders and Bic pens should be good enough for modern government.

What really has open meeting advocates concerned is modern media. Oak Harbor City Councilwoman Tara Hizon, for example, recently “attended” a council meeting via telephone conference call. She was allowed to vote without being physically present. And telephones, of course, are old news. Other jurisdictions are arguing about the legality of elected officials attending meetings and voting by Skype, a computer program that shows a pixilated head floating in a box.

Entire virtual meetings may be on the horizon. In Oak Harbor, seven computer screens with floating heads could be facing the audience, and the actual elected official could be home drinking a beer or sneaking glances at Real Housewives of Greenbank when not onscreen.

The prospect of unchecked virtual powers of elected officials has open meeting and good government advocates in a tizzy. Expect a lot of hearings in Olympia in the coming months.

As for old fashioned letters, keep them coming.

Homola, at least, didn’t try to vote by letter.

Letters to the editor Jazz festival return welcome It is with delight that we read of the upcoming Oak Harbor Music and Jazz Festival! It sounds like a much-needed shot in the arm for our local community, and one we hope the good people of Oak Harbor rally around. Many might remember the ten year run the Kiwanis’ jazz festival had back in the ‘90s. People and bands came from all over and Oak Harbor became known as a good place to visit by jazz aficionados. It could become that again.

My husband and I were on the planning committee for the last five years of the festival, and are well aware of the time, effort and money involved to set up a memorable event. We did it to raise money for musi-

cal scholarships, and it was certainly a successful citywide effort. We would have at least three big venues, such as the Elks, the Yacht Club, NAS Whidbey and a few others.

Manning these sites and providing shuttle service between them took up a tremendous amount of planning and effort. The committee, which consisted of six volunteers, under the leadership of Jim Koepke, met once a week throughout the year to plan the different facets of the event. After ten years, the festival was discontinued for a variety of reasons. I know many have mentioned how they miss our great jazz festival.

For those of you who miss the old festival, as well as for those newcomers who love music, this is the time for the citizens of Oak Harbor to pull together to support

Candidate’s sign display disputed While driving past the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce’s marquee sign I was astonished to see Jill Johnson touting her recent “Best in Whidbey” award on the marquee. This, in my opinion, demonstrates an absolute ignorance or, worse yet, disregard for public opinion for professional

behavior on the part of a civic official.

This marquee, presumably paid for with tax dollars, I thought was intended to help advertise chamber activities supposedly designed to aid and assist Oak Harbor businesses grow and expand. Instead, Johnson has turned it into a “Hey, Mom, Look at me” child bragging on their latest “book report” from school.

If this is the way she’s going to conduct herself in the commissioner’s office, Island County doesn’t have much to look forward to in the way of adult deportment in and for county government. Johnson should take a lesson from the incumbent commissioners, Homola and Price Johnson, in at least “appearing” to behave like an adult.

transit CONTINUED FROM A1 Eelkema is concerned that the alterations lack the installation of a turn lane that will allow people to safely turn left from the busy highway onto the new Parker Road.

“We’d just like Island Transit to be a good neighbor and provide a left turn lane,” said Eelkema, a motorcycle enthusiast, during the meeting.

Other residents at the meeting were concerned the additions, along with improved access to nearby trails, will add more congestion to the area.

Rep. Smith, R-Clinton, said she organized the meeting after receiving numerous calls from constituents about the plans at the intersection.

The meeting was held near the intersection of Highway 20 and Parker Road adjacent to the Island Transit expansion project.

Mailer CONTINUED FROM A1 expenditures,” she said. “I’ve always run a very clean campaign. I’ve been accused of smearing Mary Margaret.

That’s simply not true. I take great offense at someone making that accusation against me.”

Haugen isn’t buying it.

She made a clean campaign pledge and sent it to the Senate Democratic Caucus, requesting that they not send any hit pieces on her behalf. She said she’s always run clean campaigns and nobody has ever sent out hit pieces on her behalf. She said Bailey could have prevented such attacks.

“If she can’t control the peo-

Joe Sheldon, who lives near the intersection in question, was concerned that the berm and tall grass in the area of the curve “obliterates” the view drivers have of someone making a left turn at the proposed intersection.

Island County Public Works Director Bill Oakes expressed concern there will likely be more rear-end collisions in the stretch of road known for rear-enders.

Island Transit is undergoing a $17 million expansion project that will give the agency, famous for its free bus rides, expanded maintenance and administrative buildings.

That project is funded by a federal grant. It also received $896,000 in state funding for intersection improvements.

Martha Rose, Island Transit director, said in a telephone interview after the meeting that a secondary entrance to the transit property was required for the expansion project. The intersection improvements

were needed to reduce congestion.

Rose didn’t attend the meeting that started at 2 p.m. She said she didn’t hear about the meeting, called by Rep. Smith, until about an hour before it started and she is currently vacationing with family on the Olympic Peninsula.

State transportation officials have examined and approved of Island Transit’s plans for the intersection.

“It’s a safer design than

what exists today,” said Todd Harrison, assistant regional administrator for the Washington State Department of Transportation. He said the proposed changes give a nice perpendicular intersection for motorists with good site distance.

As for the desired left-turn lane from Highway 20 onto Parker Road, he said traffic data dictates it isn’t needed.

“We cannot tell Island Transit that you have to put

ple in her own camp, how can she be an effective senator?”

Haugen asked rhetorically, referring to Bailey.

Yet Bailey claims Haugen supporters did send out negative pieces four years ago when Oak Harbor resident Linda Haddon was running against her. During that election, Haugen scolded Democratic party officials for a mailer that tried to link Haddon to President Bush’s “failed economic policies.”

In a recent interview, Haddon said the ads created four years ago by Haugen’s supporters were “somewhat negative,” but she admitted that a Republican group created hit pieces against Haugen that she felt were not appropriate.

Haddon said she was upset

about the ads, but she had no control over what others did. She explained that, under state law, she couldn’t even be involved in creating the pieces.

Three of the recent mailers targeting Haugen were paid for by a political committee called the Good Government Leadership Council and created by POLIS Political Services. POLIS is headed

by Stan Shore, who was criticized in 2001 for trying to dilute liberal votes by helping a Green Party candidate in a close House race. The Good Government Leadership Council’s sole donor is the Leadership Council, a highpowered group that supports Republicans in the Senate.

Joel Graves, a spokesman for the Good Government

Leadership Council, said the mailers were not sent out on behalf on any candidate, but were only meant to educate the voters.

Another mailer was sent by the Washington State Republican Party. It focuses on Haugen’s voting record and her length in office, stating “30 years is too long.” A party spokesperson defends the contents.

“Rep. Bailey asked us to stick to the facts and the truth, which is exactly what we did in that mailer,” spokesperson Meredith Kenny wrote in an email. “The piece we sent out accurately reflects Senator Haugen’s record. There’s nothing negative about comparing the voting records between the two candidates — voters deserve to know how their

in a left-turn lane because the traffic numbers don’t support it,” Harrison told the skeptical crowd Monday afternoon.

Harrison said the state has to use limited transportation dollars for higher priority projects. For Highway 20 between Jacobs and Morris roads, the highest priority project is widening the shoulders and installing a left-turn lane from Highway 20 to the solid waste station located west of the Island Transit headquarters. He said the wider shoulders are needed to give motorists a safe place should they need to pull off the road. That project is scheduled to take place in 2014. The department of transportation has $3.3 million set aside for the safety improvements.

Coincidently, as the meeting was wrapping up, a motor home appeared to have gone off the road across the street from the solid waste transfer station.

If another project took

place before a higher priority one, the state could be liable for any accidents at the solid waste station, Harrison said.

Rose said that a leftturn lane at Parker Road would be a Department of Transportation project and not an Island Transit project.

She was skeptical that such an addition would happen, because it’s tough to obtain funding for something that the traffic data doesn’t support.

No decisions were made during the outdoor meeting.

Smith said that it would be best to have another meeting to see if any different improvements can be made. She wants the meeting scheduled by the end of August because construction is underway for the new transit buildings.

The stakeholder meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m.

elected representatives are voting in Olympia.”

The mailer sent by the Republican party, however, states that Haugen voted to protect her pay while other Legislators voluntarily took pay cuts; the mailer cites an Aug. 11, 2011 Whidbey NewsTimes, but inaccurately paraphrases the story. Haugen did not vote to protect her pay, but told a reporter at the time that she was declining to voluntarily cut her wages by 3 percent, as Bailey had pledged. But Haugen changed her mind later that year and signed the paperwork to cut her pay.

Two of the mailers emphasize that Haugen voted for the largest tax increase in state history. Referring to her vote on the Senate’s budget bill in 2010, the mailers claim “she voted for an increase of $804 million at a cost of $1,200 per family per year.”

The math, however, isn’t correct. With about 2.6 million households in the state, the $804 million would cost each family about $309 a year.

Graves explained that the “$1,200 per family per year” comes from a document created by Sen. Joe Zarelli, ranking Republican on Senate Ways and Means. He’s referring to tax increases over the budget cycle, which is two years; that’s $600 a year for a family of four.

Among the tax increases that supposedly affect families, he includes cigarette taxes and a change in out-of-state, business-and-occupation taxes in response to a lawsuit by Dot Foods.

The budget did, however, include a temporary, threeyear 0.3 percent sales tax increase.

“The funds were directed to the Education Legacy Trust Account to maintain support for property-poor school districts through the state’s levy equalization program, provide funding for approximately 16,000 students to continue to receive state-funded allday kindergarten, and allow approximately 34,000 students to attend institutions of higher education with the assistance of the state need grant,” according to a response from Haugen’s office.

Also, Haugen said there was a larger tax increase in the 1980s that she voted against; Republican leadership claim the 2010 bill amounted to the largest tax increase in the operating budget in the state’s history.

“In the simplest possible terms, this was a very big tax increase and Haugen voted for it,” Graves said.

One of the mailers states that Haugen voted to increase sales tax by 7 percent, but it’s a play on numbers. What it’s referring to is the temporary increase of 0.3 percent that was included in the Senate’s budget bill.

Yet Haugen said what most upset her is the claim that she has failed the schools. A mailer states that she slashed more than $4 billion from the state’s education system in total; she explained that she voted in favor of budgets that included massive and painful cuts in all corners of the state budget.

“I have always prioritized education,” she said. “I have 20 grandkids in public schools in the state. Would I vote to slash school spending? Absolutely not.”

Coach, track team rekindle memories of ’71 season

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Through 31 years of coaching high-school track in Oak Harbor and Coupeville, Eric Lindberg worked with many talented athletes and successful teams.

One team, however, sparkles brightest in his treasure chest of memories -- the 1971 OHHS squad.

Lindberg decided it was time to check up on that group and kicked around the idea of a team reunion. He said, “I started thinking about it five years ago and decided to wait until the 40th anniversary; that’s a nice round number.”

Lindberg gave Jay French, one of the athletes from 1971, a call and asked his opinion of the idea. French was all in and suggested to incorporate the track-team reunion with the 40th class reunion already scheduled for the summer of 2011. The date of the reunion, however, conflicted with a trip Lindberg had already planned and paid for to his native Sweden. The pair decided to shoot for this summer, and Lindberg and some of the athletes finally met July 28 in his home.

After coaching over 30 teams and 1,000 athletes in

five different decades, why is the 1971 team so important? He said, “When you are beginning to coach, it takes awhile to develop a winning program. This (in his fourth year of coaching) was my first championship team; we won league and we won district.”

Lindberg coached many talented athletes. Alan Tegethoff, for example, won the 1976 state javelin title while setting a state-meet record that stood until this year. In his four years as co-coach at Coupeville, the Wolves won seven individual event state titles.

Lindberg’s 1978 OHHS team, like the ‘71 club, won the league and district title, something the Wildcats would not accomplish again until 2012. The ‘78 team was sixth in state, and Coupeville finished fourth in state in 2006 and 2008.

But the 1971 team remains Lindberg’s favorite, not only for its titles but because of the individuals who made up the squad.

Lindberg said the team’s success had more to do with the team members than the coaching: “I had great athletes; it was a good thing I didn’t screw them up.”

The team’s work ethic,

Front row, Jerry Dulek, Steve Eelkema, Jim Ducken, Ralph Shelton, Roy Powell and Frank Hunter. dedication and perseverance still stand out after all these years. Lindberg pointed to the likes of over-achieving and hard-working distance runner Russ Fuller, the quiet intensity of javelin thrower Jerry Dulek and the explosive talent of David Garrison.

The team had great depth.

In winning the league meet, it almost doubled the points of the second-place team although it won only five individual events.

At district, the Wildcats won only three events but upset favored Mountlake

Sam Petersen proud of CrossFit effort Samantha Petersen couldn’t be more proud of her performance at the World CrossFit Games last month.

After returning from the games, she discussed her efforts and 36th-place finish among the top competitors from around the world in the competition at Carson, Calif., July 13 and 14.

“My performance couldn’t be any better,” she said. “As the CrossFit world calls it, I PR’ed (personal record).”

Petersen qualified for the games last year as well (she placed 39th), and this year felt more comfortable.

She said she was “still nervous, but at ease,” adding, “I didn’t feel out of control of the situation, I wasn’t stressed, I was focused.”

The Games were taxing

mentally and physically, Petersen said, and she is proud of getting the opportunity to compete.

“This year the competition was tough as every year, but they gave it enough variety to let the girls show their weaknesses and strengths. It’s a competitive sport and some have more experience and strengths.”

Although exhausting, the Games this year, Petersen said, were “a blast” and “so much fun.”

She added, “I smiled a ton, laughed even more.”

Petersen said she will be training for next year, and, at the same time, “training for life itself.”

“It’s a learning experience and I know that there is always something to improve on.”

Terrace. It did it even though Garrison, one of the state’s top sprinters who would later receive a scholarship to run for the University of Washington, was limited because of strep throat.

Through district, eight athletes qualified for the state

meet: Fuller (mile), Dulek (javelin), Ken Hamernik (high jump and 880 relay), Steve Waldron (220, 880 relay, mile relay), Garrison (mile relay), Ralph Shelton (880 relay, mile relay), French (mile relay) and Greg Williams (880 relay).

At state, Waldron, Shelton, French and Garrison combined to win the mile relay.

Twelve of the team members made the reunion. Three came from out of state: Fuller and Dulek traveled from California and Gary Terpstra returned from Tennessee.

Also attending were French, Waldron, Shelton, Hamernik, Steve Eelkema, Roy Powell, Jim Ducken, Rich Schoenfeldt and Frank Hunter.

Lindberg said, “It was a wonderful reunion as some (Dulek, Schoenfelt, Powell) I had not seen since 1971…

At age 59, they all still looked good.

“What I am most proud of is they have gone on to successful lives and great families. I believe that the discipline and commitment they learned in their track experience was an important part of their lives.

“I am proud of them all. It was a thrill to see them and recall the memories.”

A group of Whidbey’s best barbecuers will be busy this weekend cooking 2,000 pounds of pork to hand out free to hungry islanders.

Organizers hope that will be enough to feed the hundreds of people who will attend the annual Fidalgo Avenue Block Party and Pig Roast that takes place Sunday, Aug. 12, near downtown Oak Harbor in front of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway.

“It just keeps on getting busier and busier every year,” said Scott Fraser, owner of Frasers. He has organized the popular pig roast every year. He said the 2,000 pounds for 2012 represents 500 pounds more pork than the previous year. Last year, cooks ran out of food.

While the day features a wonderful spread of food where people line up down the block waiting for their meal, there will be several additions to the party.

The block party will include an amateur home brewing contest, which will be organized in conjunction with Whidbey Island Homebrewing Supplies, Fidalgo Avenue’s newest business that will soon serve the needs of beer aficionados up and down Whidbey Island.

As always, amateur and professionals will vie to see who is the island’s best barbecuer.

In its competitive third year, both professionals and amateurs compete in different types of barbecue. So far six pros — Smoke Tree Barbecue, JD’s Barbecue, Holy Cow Barbecue, Oak Harbor Tavern and Two Hogs

Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Organizers of the Fidalgo Avenue Block Party and Pig Roast hope to serve 2,000 pounds of pork Sunday, Aug. 12.

Shown in front are organizers Greg Hampton of Whidbey Beerworks, Kristi Jensen, Maria McGee of Lotus Tea Bar. In back are Ron Apgar of Paint Your World, Frank Selzi, Scott Fraser of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway and Roger Anglum of Smoke Tree Barbecue. and a Rooster — have signed up for the competitive cook-off.

Smoke Tree Barbecue owner Roger Anglum, who won the contest in the first year, said he hopes to unseat two-time winner JD’s Barbecue this year.

“JD’s got a target on his back,” Anglum joked.

The free party also features live music, a beer garden and a variety of children’s activities, ranging from a paper airplane contest to a bouncy

house.

Fraser started the block party five years ago as a way to thank the community for supporting his gourmet restaurant and to provide a fun activity that will get families outdoors on a Sunday afternoon.

The block party is free but people are encourage to make a donation by dropping cash into several large piggy banks.

Fraser said that the donations will help cover costs that aren’t met by

sponsors. Leftover donations will be given to local nonprofits. Half of the money raised will benefit North Whidbey Help House. The other half of the money will be spread among Youth Dynamics, Safety Net of Oak Harbor and Whidbey Island Share a Home.

People wanting to compete in the barbecue contest may contact Fraser at 279-1231. For more information about the home brewing contest, go to www.mywize.org/pigbrew.html.

Memorable cars like this Corvette will roar into Oak Harbor Saturday for the North Whidbey Car Show at Windjammer Park.

Hundreds of automobiles from hot rods to antiques will roar into Oak Harbor this weekend, with a special emphasis on the famous Chevrolet Corvette.

They will participate in the 27th Annual North Whidbey Car Show that takes place Saturday, Aug. 11 at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor.

“It is expected there will be more than 300 of the best mild-to-wild classic, hot rods and muscle cars from all over the Northwest and British Columbia,” said Rotary Club of Oak Harbor President Mike Hakanson.

New to the car show in 2012 is a special judged showcase event featuring Corvettes from all years, Hakanson said.

The car show takes place in Windjammer Park, which allows families to also picnic, enjoy the playground or swim in the lagoon.

In addition, the event also features a beer garden, food and music.

A shuttle bus will transport attendees between Windjammer Park and downtown Oak Harbor where people can shop and dine.

The North Whidbey Car Show begins at 11 a.m. and runs through 4 p.m. when trophies will be awarded.

“The Rotary Club of Oak Harbor puts on the annual car show each year as a public service to the community,” Hakanson said. He added that the event attracts people from off the island to Oak Harbor, which is a boon to local businesses. Proceeds of the car show help fund Oak Harbor High School scholarships.

Free parking is available at Pioneer Automotive Services, located at 201 Pioneer Way in the lot behind the building.

People can still register cars by emailing northwhidbeycarshow@ frontier.com for a registration form.

a monster of a celebration

Tom Trimbath of Trimbath Creative, Molly Larson Cook, founder of Skylark Writing Studio and Wynn Allen of WGA Consulting, three Whidbey authors with experience in all phases of self-publishing, will collaborate during the “Weekend on Whidbey” self-publishing workshop.

A summer reading finale titled “A Monstrous Celebration,” will be held Aug. 11, at 4 p.m. at the Clinton Community Hall.

The Clinton, Freeland and Langley libraries are joining forces to have a monstrous celebration of summer reading. Rowbes Puppet Productions will present “Monster Dreams,” a puppet show about a monster who follows his dreams. An art project and refreshments will follow. This is a family program geared for schoolage children. Funded by the Friends of the Clinton, Freeland and Langley libraries.

Learn to self-publish in a weekend

Madrona Workshop Troupe, a newly formed collaborative resource for writers who wish to become authors, will debut with a two-day self-publishing “Weekend on Whidbey” Aug. 18 and 19 in Coupeville.

Tom Trimbath of Trimbath Creative, Molly Larson Cook, founder of Skylark Writing Studio and Wynn Allen of WGA Consulting, three Whidbey authors with experience in all phases of self-publishing, will collaborate during the weekend.

The August weekend on Whidbey Island, “From Writer to Author: Getting the Words, the Process and the Marketing Right,” will cover the three critical phases of self-publishing with workshops, including preparing a high-quality manuscript; choosing and working with a self-publisher; and develop-

Hawaiian Chieftain visits Coupeville The tall ship Hawaiian Chieftain arrived at the Coupeville Wharf Aug. 7, and will be available for tours and sailings through the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, Aug. 11 and 12.

ing and implementing a successful marketing plan.

The workshops will be supplemented by discussions, activities, shared meals and informal consultations to allow writers to interact with the Madrona team and with each other.

The Madrona self-publishing weekend is also available for writers’ groups or other organizations in other locations.

“Writers are frustrated by fragmented information about self-publishing,” Trimbath said in a press release. He has self-published nearly a dozen books.

“They’re looking for help in navigating the process and marketing their books.

Madrona Workshop Troupe was created to pull together in one place all the pieces that make a self-publishing project successful, no matter how large or small the proj-

ect, and to make the product as aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective for writers as possible.”

Allen, an author with years of experience in marketing and entertainment, said, “Over the past two years, books published electronically out-sold books sold in bookstores. Traditional publishing is not dead, but writers who want to become authors have choices, and this is the way of publishing in the 21st century. However, for many writers, the toughest part of this new option is marketing. This is where the business side of writing and publishing kicks in, and it’s too often the most-neglected piece.”

Cook is a professional editor/writing coach and author of two self-published books.

Her workshop will demystify the process of revising and polishing the manuscript for

publication.

“The better your manuscript, the more likely you are to sell books. Reviewers, bookstore owners, and potential readers are impatient with poorly edited books. It’s up to the author to prepare the best possible manuscript for publication. The best writers know this. Remember, Ernest Hemingway rewrote the ending for ‘A Farewell to Arms’ 39 times,” Cook said.

Madrona’s debut “Weekend on Whidbey” will be held at the Pacific NorthWest Art School in Coupeville.

The weekend fee is $240.

Two cities, one town, first responde r s, 9 1 1 , e m e r g e n c y management, neighboring counties are some ex a m p l e s . S o m e o f these entities are using GIS now and some are not. As with most local governments, funding in Island County is limited.

For the project to be successful the implementation will need to be p h a s e d a n d s c a l a bl e w i t h i n f u n d i n g l i m i t s.

Success is also likely dependent on partners being found to assist in the implementation.

Scope of Work Needs Assessment Objective/description: identification of potential GIS applications and existing resources, e.g., hardware, software, data, and staff. The consultant will conduct interviews with the various depar tments that are current and potential GIS users. Interviews to include but not limited to: IT - central ser vices, ICOM 911, Sheriff, Fire, Emergency Management, Health, Planning, A s s e s s o r, Tr e a s u r e r, Public Works Interviews should document both the current uses and basic needs from present and potential GIS users and prepare a desired GIS data list of all GIS maintained data and functions. User level of interaction should also be identified (Browse, Simple Display, Query and Display, Map Analysis, Spatial Modeling) Deliverables: a final repor t documenting GIS needs and resources to include findings dealing with potential applications, necessary data, and additional required resources.

Conceptual system design Objective/description: t o p r ov i d e a g e n e r a l framework for structuring GIS within the organization. The conceptual system design should address software recomm e n d a t i o n s, p hy s i c a l system configuration (computers, network requirements, etc.) as well as a conceptual database design based on the applications identified and GIS data list g e n e ra t e d d u r i n g t h e needs assessment phase.

Deliverable: Report. Implementation plan Objective/description: to provide a detailed description of how to begin implementing GIS within the organization. Plans for near-ter m projects should provide significant implementation details, with more general information provided for steps to be undertaken over the longer-ter m.

Specifics should address applications to be developed as well as estimated costs and required resources (par ticularly for shorter-term implementations). Plan must be phased and scalable.

Deliverable: Report detailing recommendations.

Final presentation Objective/description: to present an overall view of the project findings and recommendations to the Board of Island County Commissioners. The presentation will consist of an executive summary with an opportunity for a question and answer session.

D e l i v e r a b l e s : P u bl i c presentation, generally utilizing electronic visuals to enhance understanding of the information presented. Provide an executive summary.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY City’s goal for this project: “Recognizing that Oak Harbor is connected to the pristine waters of Puget Sound, specifically Oak Harbor and Crescent Harbor Bay, the City’s goal is to obtain the highest level of water quality practical while recognizing the limitations of the rate payers of the City to fund the improvements.”

Crescent Harbor North Conceptual Perspective View

On August 14th, City Council will be asked to consider a final Clean Water Facility site. Now is the time to share your opinion.

City staff is asking citizens to think about the Wastewater Treatment Facility. City Council has narrowed site selection from six potential sites to two: Windjammer Park and North Crescent Harbor Road.

A design workshop was held on June 27-28, citizens gathered to begin thinking about what the Clean Water Facility would look like at each potential site. The results of the workshop were presented to City Council on July 12th and a combined public open house and City Council workshop was held on July 31st. The workshop was recorded and is currently airing on local government TV Channel 10. The information presented is also available on the project website: www. oakharborcleanwater.org.

On August 14th, City Council will be asked to consider a final site.

Take the opprotunity to share your opinion and add your input in this important decision.

• 6-24 acres would have to be acquired at existing market values, • Large site area allows for expansion of other City uses, besides a treatment facility, • Site allows for construction of an activated sludge type facility, which is less costly, but needs, a larger “footprint” (6 acres), • Allows for economical design, • Possible wetland habitat access trails and educational facilities, • Topography assists gravityassist activated sludge systems, • Potential for some commercial use parcels fronting on Regatta Road once utilities are in place with a new facility, and • Large site allows maximum flexibility for the future.

Negatives • Wastewater must be pumped from Windjammer and back, requiring piping and pump station costs, • Retaining wall systems required to create flat areas for development, • Stormwater control required, • Realignment of current roadway network, • Critical areas on site will require delineation and adequate buffers, • A pump station structure will be required at Windjammer site, and • Site will have to go through a City annexation process, and land use zone change.

Windjammer Park

Positives

• Existing infrastructure, • Enhanced RV facility, • Community room & amphitheatre, • Bayshore Drive connection, • Commercial benefits, • Better pedestrian connection to Park from old town area, • Additional on-street parking, • View corridor into Park site, • “Wow” architectural as a gateway to Park, • Resolve flooding issues in area, • Phasing possibilities, and • Designed for 50-year growth.

Negatives • Probable archeological finds will affect costs and schedule, • Architecture adds approximately 5% to project cost, • Community “extras” will add to project expense, • New Bayshore Drive connection is an additional expense, and • Reconfiguration or relocation of little League fields may be required.
