Olympic champ kicks off new festival

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Festival is the brainchild of MichaelJohn Paparella, a downtown merchant. He moved to Oak Harbor from Florida, where he saw music festivals revitalize communities after hurricanes and economic downturns.

The idea quickly blossomed as many others dived in to help.

Margaret Livermore, Lynn Goebel and Michelle Curry have helped organize the event and collect sponsorships. Rhonda Severns, the city liaison, said the organizers have received $17,000 in donations from 39 groups, businesses and individuals. The top donors include Island Thrift, Windermere and Whidbey Island Bank. Other businesses, like See music, page A8

The volume will be turned all the way up in downtown Oak Harbor this weekend for the biggest party of the year.

Judo champ and bronze medalist Marti Malloy will take the Pioneer Way stage at 5:30 Friday night to kick off the first-ever Oak Harbor Music and Jazz Festival. Malloy, an Oak Harbor High School graduate, is returning to the city for the first time following her victory in the London Olympics.

The three-day weekend will be filled with a delicious blend of jazz, soft rock, rhythm and blues, gospel and folk music. An impressive line-up of bands from across the country will

be playing into the night. The Oak Harbor Tavern is hosting a wine and beer garden with local brews. Visitors can browse arts and craft booths, stop by local shops or eat.

Best of all, the fun is all in the name of charity and downtown revitalization. The profits will be split between the Blue Fox Drive-In, which is struggling to go digital, and a music scholarship fund in honor of former Oak Harbor High School band director Ed Bridges.

“Ed Bridges inspired a lot of musicians who are still playing today,” said Larry Mason, a member of the group Halyards who’s also in charge of “music and logistics” for the festival. “He was a cool teacher.”

The Oak Harbor Music and Jazz

A 65-year-old Oak Harbor man who was sent to a state prison after being caught trying to solicit an underage girl for sex died in a privately operated prison in Georgia last month.

A spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Jonathon Kruse, a 35-year resident of Oak Harbor, passed away July 27 at the D. Ray James Correctional Facility. The cause is under investigation, the spokesman said, but indications are that Kruse committed suicide.

The U.S. Marshal’s Office had moved Kruse from the state prison in Shelton to Georgia in order to stand trial in federal court in Jacksonville, Fla. He and his brother, Paul Kruse, were charged with defrauding investors with a sham investment product.

Paul Kruse, a resident of Jacksonville, and Jonathon Kruse both worked as financial planners, even though Jonathon Kruse’s financial licenses had been permanently terminated for previously misrepresenting financial information to clients and forging financial documents.

A grand jury indicted the Kruses in U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, on March 28 with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

The indictment states that “the conspirators would and did solicit friends, family, and former clients (victim investors) to invest in a fraudulent and sham investment prod-

uct allegedly provided by Yorkshire Financial Services, LLC.” Paul Kruse incorporated Yorkshire Financial Services in 2010, but he and his brother represented to investors that Yorkshire had “over 30 years of continuous operations making us one of the oldest financial services in the United States.”

The court file indicates that the Kruses defrauded investors in Oak Harbor, Langley, Jacksonville, Fla., the Netherlands and elsewhere.

Last year, Jonathan Kruse was ensnared in a Skagit County Sheriff’s Office operation similar to the TV show “To Catch a Predator.”

Detectives at the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office posed online at Backpage.com as underage girls and corresponded with men who were interested in paying for sex.

Kruse was arrested at a gas station in Mount Vernon where he thought he was meeting a 13-year-old prostitute for sex.

Kruse pleaded guilty in Skagit County Superior Court to attempted rape of a child in the second degree. On Feb. 16, a judge handed him an indeterminate sentence with a minimum of five years and 10 months in prison.

Kruse’s name is spelled two different ways — Jonathon and Jonathan — in court records.

School board willing to spend a little to get a lot for art

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Art comes at a price, even if someone else is paying most of the cost.

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction allocated $21,800 for the Oak Harbor School District to spend on a commissioned art piece for Oak Harbor High School, but in order for the school district to utilize the funds, it has to pay approximately $9,600.

At an Oak Harbor School Board meeting this month, the board decided to pursue this path.

OSPI allocated approximately $21,800 through the state’s Art in Public Places program for Oak Harbor High School because of its recent construc-

tion. This money came from the state match funding for the construction of the school, which was collected from state tax money.

Commissioning a piece of artwork costs $31,500. The district plans to create a committee for artist selection from OSPI’s list of approved artists and the committee would view artists’ works before ordering the artwork.

“I can’t tell you exactly where the money would come from. If we want to participate, I would find the money by not spending somewhere else,” said Superintendent Rick Schulte, who was reluctant to give up the allocated $21,800.

“Knowing there’s $22,000 there that’s ours makes me not want to lose it … If we want to, we can find things to

cut for that amount.”

Not everyone was so sure.

“It seems like a want and not a need,” said Christine Cribb, school board member, adding that the school district has put out a list of needs in preparation for asking that the community pass a higher levy in February.

However, school board member Peter Hunt liked the idea of purchasing the art. He said it would be a shame not to add the art to such an expensive, new building.

School board member Christine Abbott said she would rather use student talent to create art at the school, but this money can’t be used to commission art outside of the OSPI’s list of pre-approved artists.

“It could even be something incorporating student work,” Hunt said, adding that the commissioned piece could be an artistic area where student art could be displayed.

“We can design something that meets our needs and the school’s and community’s interest,” Schulte said, adding that the district will have a lot of control over the art and the process.

While Schulte isn’t sure what size the artwork will be, he spoke to the principal of Oak Harbor High School, Dwight Lundstrom, who suggested creating art to put

The art was commissioned through the state’s Art in Public Places program. in the main entrance of the school, a two-story atrium.

“It’s kind of a unique setting, a unique place,” Schulte said.

The school district already has a few commissioned art pieces, the most prominent of which is the steel sculpture of books located at North Whidbey Middle School, which cost $12,000 to $13,000 about 13 years ago, Schulte said. The middle school

features a framed print by prominent Seattle artist Jacob Lawrence, and Oak Harbor Elementary School and Oak Harbor Middle School also have artwork.

“So we’ve always participated in the past,” Schulte said.

Oak Harbor High School doesn’t have any other commissioned artwork from this program. Well-known art on the campus includes a sculpture in the shape of a “W”

that dates back to about 1974, and a real anchor from a ship, also dating back to about 1974, Schulte said.

With past struggles to maintain an art program in the elementary schools, Hunt said this art piece would be a good way to support art.

“We should celebrate arts generally and we should show students you can be a professional artist,” Schulte said.

Recycling program planned to hit the curb in Coupeville

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Environmentally conscious folks in Coupeville will soon have a new way to recycle.

The town is several weeks away from finalizing an agreement with Island Disposal for a curbside recycling program.

Mayor Nancy Conard said the town’s attorney and insurance company are cur-

rently reviewing the details of the proposed agreement.

She didn’t have a figure yet on how much curbside recycling will cost the town and its residents.

The agreement had been delayed because both sides wanted to see if any changes will be made to Island County’s tipping fees that could be considered in its

SlipcoVeReD WiNG BAcK RocKeRS FuNKy pAiNTeD piNe cABiNeTS SlipcoVeReD GliDeR RocKeRS FuNKy pAiNTeD piNe BeNcHeS cHeVAl MiRRoRS

annual review, Conard said.

Bill Oakes, Island County public works director, said there are no plans to increase those fees and he’ll talk with town officials and Island Disposal leadership about the outlook for 2013.

Town officials have been working for years trying to implement a curbside program. They tried to work with

Island Disposal and Island County to develop an islandwide program; however that effort stalled months ago and the town moved forward with its own proposal.

The curbside recycling program is the latest of a series of environmental programs the town has implemented in recent years. Other programs include a phytoreme-

diation project (a study to see if the town’s wastewater can benefit surrounding farms) and a law that allows properly outfitted electric golf carts to be driven on town streets.

Conard said residents within town limits will be required to participate in the curbside recycling program.

The reduction in the amount of trash could offset the costs

homeowners could face with the recycling program.

“There’s a great potential for people to reduce their garbage pickup,” Conard said.

She added that residents could choose recycling pickups either every week or once a month. The Coupeville Town Council will talk about the curbside recycling program during an upcoming meeting.

‘Monster in orange’ sent away for child molestation

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A teenager who endured a decade of sexual abuse at the hands of his stepfather told his story during a dramatic sentencing hearing in Island County Superior Court last Thursday.

At the end, the judge sent 30-year-old Anthony Polubinski, a Cub Scout leader in Oak Harbor, away for a minimum of 15 years in prison. Polubinski pleaded guilty to child molestation in the first degree, child molestation in the second degree, child rape in the third degree, indecent liberties, possession of child pornography and intimidating a witness.

The 18-year-old victim spoke candidly about the sexual abuse in front of a courtroom of friends and family.

He described how he craved a father figure as a youngster and was at first excited to have a stepfather in his life, but then Polubinski started sexually assaulting him when he was just 8 years old.

“I trusted him to be there for me,” the 18-year-old man said. “I trusted him to be the one in my life who was going to be my father figure ... but he betrayed that trust.

Oak Harbor resident and former Cub Scout leader Anthony Polubinski was sentenced in court last week to prison for child molestation, child rape and possession of child pornography.

Destroyed it completely and now I can’t trust anyone in my life completely.”

He described how Polubinski used threats, punishments and physical force against him. Polubinski told him not to tell anyone, or it would rip the family apart and his mother would kill herself.

“monster in orange.” She spoke about how the victim’s mother kept him away from his father during the years that Polubinski was assaulting him. She said some of the victim’s family members don’t believe the accusations, even with photographic evidence.

“The man is a monster and I don’t care if you are related to him or not,” she said.

In an unusual exchange, the judge interrupted Polubinski’s father as he questioned why the victim didn’t tell anyone earlier that he was being abused.

“Sir, do you have any idea the pressure and the psychological burden that would be on a young person like (the victim) to have to bring himself to do that?” Alan Hancock asked.

Before sentencing, Polubinski apologized to the young man and urged him to stay in contact with his mother and brother.

“Know that even though I can never be a part of your life anymore or contact you in any way, I still care about you and wish you a happy life and will continue to pray for that for you,” he said.

After a break to consider the statements, Hancock handed Polubinski an indeterminate sentence of 15 years to life in prison, which was six months longer than the agreed recommendation.

Polubinski will have to serve the minimum 15-year sentence, then a review board

will decide whether he should be released.

If he’s released, Polubinski will have to register as a sex offender and remain under the supervision of the Department of Corrections for life.

Hancock also stressed that the evidence is clear that Polubinski was guilty of heinous acts. Detectives seized his computer, which contained pornographic images of the victim and other boys.

In an interview with the Department of Corrections, Polubinski admitted to molesting and raping the victim, though he downplayed the violence. He said he photographed and videotaped the boy in seven photo sessions over the years. He also admitted to molesting a different teenager and holding “photo sessions” with two other boys.

Judge Hancock thanked the young man numerous times for his courage in coming forward to put the man responsible for horrendous torments behind bars.

“He saved his little brother, in all probability, from crimes like these,” the judge said.

Hancock read part of the victim’s impact statement under the section pertaining to restitution. Under loss, the young man wrote “my childhood.” Under value, he wrote “priceless and irreplaceable.”

“That pretty well sums it up,” the judge said.

Prosecutor is not just clowning around about budget

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

If you you’re looking for tips on how to make a lasting impression while giving a budget presentation, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks may be the man to see.

The trial lawyer/politician stole the show during the first round of budget talks between department heads and the board of commissioners last week when he called to the stand a special witness.

The mysterious figure was shepherded into the room covered in black plastic bags, fueling a guess or two from the awaiting commissioners.

Banks, wearing a large smile, didn’t keep them waiting for long as he soon introduced his unfunded morale officer, Bozo the Clown.

“That is our volunteer,” Banks laughed.

He explained that while Bozo’s purpose is to make people laugh, there is really nothing funny about him.

The blow-up punching bag is a reflection of his office’s budget woes and a challenging new trend in case loads.

Over the past few years,

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks looks at Bozo the Clown, his volunteer morale officer, with a mock serious face. He brought the blow-up toy to his budget presentation before the commissioners last week to help make his case for the retention of existing staff. hefty county budget cuts have resulted in the loss of a chief criminal deputy, two deputy prosecutors and a paralegal at the department.

Banks got some relief earlier this year when the board approved his request to make a part-time deputy prosecutor full time and reinstate a halftime receptionist and legal assistant, but positions were only funded through the end

of the year and his office continues to struggle.

A big part of the problem is a changing case load. This year, the office has seen a spike in felony crimes and a marked shift from drug and property crimes to sex and violent crimes. For example, 2012 marked the unprecedented simultaneous prosecution of four first-degree murder cases.

Trying such cases takes a heavy toll on staff, he said.

This spring, at about the time

the sex crimes were peaking, the office was hit with its fourth murder case and morale dropped further.

“It was very heavy,” said Banks, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s an emotional job and we needed something to lighten the atmosphere.”

Banks’ solution was to “hire” Bozo. There’s a lot of space in the office these days so Bozo was set up in a vacant room and it was turned into an employee wellness center. While the punch toy has

Music By:

Featuring “Johnny Bulldog Tristao” Lead Singer of Creedence Clearwater Revisited

helped people blow off steam, it only goes so far.

“I’d say office morale has become probably the most serious challenge for me,” Banks said.

Bozo is a cost-effective tool to keep spirits up around the office, but Banks said he can’t afford any further staff reductions and is asking the board to fund his two temporary positions through next year.

If approved, the two positions would add about $52,800 to his estimated expenditures, totaling $1.38 million in 2013. His approved 2012 expenditures totalled about $1.3 million. The increase also includes mandatory longevity salary hikes and increases in the county’s share of benefits.

Banks wasn’t the only one to make pitches to the commissioners last week.

Island County Planning and Community Development is another department that is in need of additional manpower, particularly in long-range planning. The problem is so severe that the current staff of two full-time positions won’t be able to complete work needed over the next few years to update major planning programs and updates required by the state.

Turnover has diminished some department capabilities and the management of two Growth Management Act appeals, a backlog of unfinished work and large public records requests have taken precious time away from

staff to attend to other duties.

Finally, fee revenues have been insufficient to meet current needs.

Director Bob Pederson is asking for a full-time, longrange planner and small adjustments to handle things like training, a promotion, overtime for nighttime meetings and the replacement of computer hardware.

Island County Clerk Debra Van Pelt also asked for increase in staff, proposing a half-time deputy clerk be hired to full-time status.

The department has made a number of internal improvements, from increased access to court files to the streamlining of cash-handling practices, but Van Pelt does not believe they can maintain existing levels of service without additional help.

Finally, Island County Assessor Mary Engle is requesting to continue funding a part-time clerical position to assist with a backlog of parcel segregations with resources from her budget’s contingency fund. Total expenditures for 2013 would remain the same as last year.

The Island County Coroner, Civil Service Commission, public defender and Superior and Juvenile Courts also presented their budgets, but none of them proposed any significant changes.

Budget presentations are planned to continue today, beginning at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.

Two families complete bike trip across America

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

Kathy Reed / Whidbey News-Times

The Schroeder family and the Halvorson family touch their tires to Whidbey waters as they complete a 4,000-mile bicycle trip across America.

Two Oak Harbor families pedaled into town Saturday amid cheers and applause, following a three-month, 4,000-mile bicycle trip across America.

Clark and Annemarie Schroeder and their children, Hannah, 17, Emily, 15, Ella, 13 and Noah, 11, along with Dan and Lesli Halvorson and their children, Jon Michael, 14, Sarah, 13, Lydia, 10, and Abraham, 8, left Yorktown, Va. on May 30.

“It’s hard to put into words,” said Clark Schroeder. “It was really hard, really challenging, but such a grand experience.”

“It was beyond my expecta-

tions,” Lesli Halvorson said. “I didn’t think I could do it. And then every time we went over a pass, it was such a sense of accomplishment.”

A welcoming party waited at Deception Pass Bridge to cheer them on the last few miles of their journey.

“This is a huge accomplishment, it’s just crazy and really cool,” said Emily Huffer, 15, a longtime friend of the families.

“They will always remember this trip.”

“I’m really proud of these folks,” said Richard Haines, who was at Joseph Whidbey State Park for a picnic to celebrate the end of the journey.

“The kids have learned principles that will last them the rest of their lives, that no task is too big.”

The trip was not without its difficulties. Searing heat in the Midwest meant traveling several days in temperatures above 105 degrees. On the flip side of that, they didn’t encounter a lot of rain, said Clark. They lost count of the number of flat tires the group had and they were fortunate not to experience too many breakdowns. But those were the times that proved to be the most inspirational.

“We had a breakdown outside of Kettle Falls, Wash., and there were no bike shops within 70 miles,” Clark said.

“A man offered us a ride there and back to get the bike fixed.

It was so humbling.

“That’s probably my biggest memory,” he continued.

“The generosity and hospital-

ity of people.”

“I think for all of us the best part of this was meeting so many neat people,” agreed Lesli. “You stop and talk to them and you learn so much about generosity and kindness.”

As people exchanged hugs and began catching up on three months’ worth of chat, life already seemed to be moving toward normalcy. The kids especially were looking forward to things they hadn’t had in a while.

“I want a good, cooked breakfast,” said Lydia Halvorson.

“I’m kind of sad it’s over, but I’m happy to be done,” said Emily Schroeder. “I’m looking forward to sleeping in.”

business got a start.

Jim and Dave Stewart will attend an event, titled “From Coupeville to your Cup,” beginning at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 30, at the Coupeville Recreation Hall on the corner of Alexander and Coveland streets.

The Stewarts once operated the Wet Whisker, which

is located in the Front Street building that is the current home to Kapaw’s Iskreme.

Paul Whelan, whose family has owned the building for decades, said the event is a chance to remember a business that helped revitalize a struggling downtown.

Whelan noted that the Wet Whisker enjoyed opening day

sales of $17.26.

“We want to keep this history alive,” Whelan said. People attending the event will learn how the business started, its eventual but temporary expansion into Oak Harbor, and what the Stewart brothers have been up to since selling their Seattle’s Best Coffee business, which is currently

owned by Starbucks. Their first employee and several family members will be on hand for the event.

Local historian Judy Lynn, who has been developing an oral history of Whidbey Island, will interview both Stewart brothers to add to the collection of interviews.

People can also sample cof-

fee-inspired desserts, enjoy some ice cream and listen to coffee and ice cream themed music. Naturally, people can enjoy some coffee, too.

The evening is sponsored by the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, Island County Historical Society and the Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce.

IN OUR OPINION

Navy needs input on Growler noise Residents have until Aug. 31 to offer their two cents on the possible environmental impacts of the Navy’s plans to transition Expeditionary Electronic Attack Squadrons (VAQ) to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The aging EA-6B Prowlers in the squadrons will be replaced with the newer EA-18G Growlers, beginning this year and continuing into 2014.

The Navy extended the public comment period deadline for the draft Environmental Assessment in response to a request by Island County commissioners. A crowd of upset Coupeville residents attended a recent commissioner meeting to express concerns about increased jet noise.

The problem was, many of the citizens were relying on a misunderstanding.

The expeditionary squadrons in question are land based, which means they don’t do carrier landing practices. As a result, the expeditionary squadrons, unlike the fleet VAQ squadrons, do not train at the Outlying Field near Coupeville. The environmental assessment for the carrier-based squadrons was completed years ago, which is why there are already Growlers in the sky.

People who live on North Whidbey, however, may notice a change in the future. The Navy’s assessment offers three alternative scenarios for the expeditionary transition. Depending on the alternative, the 12 Prowlers could be replaced by 21 or 26 Growlers. Yet the number of aircraft operations at Ault Field is expected to only increase by 2.7 or 3.1 percent. That translates to about 2,000 extra flights a year.

The Environmental Assessment concludes that the switch to Growlers will have no significant impact on noise for residents. In fact, slightly fewer people will be within the “noise contours” around the air strips.

Navy officials are strongly recommending that residents provide their comments on the environmental assessment so they can fully understand community concerns. Printed copies of the assessment are available at the Oak Harbor and Coupeville libraries. It’s available online at www.cnic.navy.mil. Comments may be emailed to Whdb_naswi_pao@navy.mil or may be mailed to: Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Public Works Department, Environmental Division, 1115 W. Lexington St., Oak Harbor, WA 98278

Letters to the editor Property owner has no plans to sell Articles in the news media have informed me that the city of Oak Harbor plans to displace Pioneer Automotive so that it can site a sewer treatment plant on Pioneer Way. (Former location of Frontier Chevrolet-Pontiac.)

No one from the city has contacted the owner, Redneck Properties LLC. The property is not for sale.

While private industry would determine what property may be available before deciding on a major construction project, government can simply condemn what ever property it takes a fancy to. However, it must pay the market value, and must pay to relocate a business it displaces.

Pioneer Automotive plans to stay right where it is. But if it ultimately is displaced by government it plans to

provide excellent service and local jobs in a new location. Pioneer Automotive occupies a prime downtown location; please do not let the unsolicited sewer treatment selection discourage your patronage.

No cuts planned for Oak Harbor schools

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

The Oak Harbor School District’s budget doesn’t reflect major cuts for the first time in four years, a luxury that may only last until January.

After eight months of discussions and community workshops, the Oak Harbor School Board passed a $49.5-million budget Monday, which represents a $600,000 increase from last year due to a Department of Defense grant meant to improve math and literacy instruction at the secondary level.

“It’s very similar to the past ones and again we say, how long can we sustain it?” said Corey Johnson, school board president, at the meeting.

“It’s a flat no-frills, noshrills budget,” Superintendent Rick Schulte said in a press release. “For the first time in years, we are not responding to a combination of higher costs and mandated cuts.”

Fears of mid-year cuts hang heavy over the district as Congress may enact across-the-board cuts of approximately 9 percent, which would take place

Rebecca Olson / Whidbey News-Times

Superintendent Rick Schulte discusses the 2012-2013 school budget with Oak Harbor School Board members Gary Wallin and Christine Abbott at a school board meeting Monday evening. in January. Oak Harbor receives approximately $4.5 million in federal Impact Aid per year, plus approximately $4.8 million in federal funding for programs such as school lunch, special education, vocational courses,

Title 1 and grants.

To avoid mid-year disaster, Schulte set aside $1.4 million of supplies and materials budget, meaning teachers and principals won’t be able to purchase new supplies for the upcoming

school year until Congress acts on its budget cuts.

The district faces another funding cut from Local Effort Assistance, the state levy match. The total assessed valuation of property in the district increased by 4.17

percent from 2012 to 2013, but the total assessed valuation within the state only increased by 1.28 percent.

This means Local Effort Assistance will decrease by $127,000, Schulte explained at a school board meeting

earlier this month.

“That’s not entirely unusual,” Schulte said.

The budget also reflects an increase of six employees, which is a first in three years. However, those positions may remain unfilled if the projected enrollment of 5,300 students is not met, according to Joe Hunt, communications director for the district. Employee costs, including salaries, wages and benefits, make up about 80 percent of the budget, which is less than 1 percent higher than last year’s budget.

Another funding challenge is a change in the way the state reimburses the school district for the cost of buses, which will cost the district about $220,000 this year. The new system pays for bus depreciation only after the fiscal year is over, requiring the district to pony up the cost this year, Hunt said.

Earlier this year, Schulte chose to refinance the bonds approved by taxpayers in 2006 to rebuild Oak Harbor High School, saving the community $600,000 through lower property taxes collected on these bonds.

State Parks begin card machine trials at Fort Casey Discover Passes are now easier to purchase

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Buying a pass to visit state parks is getting easier.

As part of a trial program, Washington State Parks introduced credit card machines for the sale of Discover Passes in the parking lots of 10 state parks, including three locations on Whidbey Island. Currently the solar-powered credit card machines can be found at Fort Casey State Park and Deception Pass State Park at the south bridge parking lot and at Cornet Bay. Jon Cummins, manager of the state parks on Central and South Whidbey Island, said that the new credit card machine has been accepted by park visitors.

“To my knowledge, every-

one here has had good success with it,” Cummins said.

Prior to the introduction of the credit card machines, people could stuff an envelop with cash or check and put it into a locked box at the parking lot. Or they could also stop by the park office, which is sometimes locked when park staff are away tending to park needs.

Currently people can only purchase the $10 dayuse pass at the credit-card machines. Plans are in store to allow for the purchase of annual, $30 passes and for people to make a donation.

The credit card machines were installed in late June.

It cost the state parks $5,700 and an additional $300 for installation. Twelve machines have been placed at the 10 state parks.

Sandy Mealing, spokeswoman for Washington State Parks, said the machines installed on Whidbey Island are part of a pilot project

that will last up to a year. If the machines can pay for themselves, then they will be expanded throughout the park system.

In addition to Deception Pass and Fort Casey, the credit card machines were installed at Beacon Rock, Cape Disappointment, Lake Sammamish, Ironhorse, Miller Sylvania, Saltwater, St. Edward and Wallace Falls state parks.

The state implemented the Discover Pass in the summer of 2011 in hopes the user fee will be able to replace taxpayer dollars that were cut from the parks; however, collections have fallen far short of projections.

Approximately $17.7 million has been collected while officials hoped to collect $64 million through the course of the 2011-2013 biennium.

Cascade Conference changes Coupeville football schedule Field leveled, 1A foes replace 2A schools

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Coupeville High School football team will see a significant change in its schedule this fall.

Coupeville administrators raised concerns about its competitiveness and the safety of its players with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association and the Cascade Conference last year. Coupeville’s enrollment is only about half of the next smallest school in the eight-team conference.

Coupeville, therefore, has had a difficult time competing in football, a sport where the number of players is critical, against the larger schools.

Because of the physi-

cal nature of football, it is not uncommon for players to get injured. Coupeville, with its small enrollment, has been forced to play freshmen against physically more mature upperclassmen from the larger schools in the past, which puts more players at risk.

Last fall, for example, half of Coupeville’s 35 players were hurt and the Wolves were forced to forfeit their final game. The Wolves won only one conference game in the past two years and one game overall against a non-1A school.

There were few options for Coupeville to correct this problem. Because of its geographical location, changing conferences wasn’t realistic.

Coupeville considered playing football as an independent, but scheduling would be a nightmare and it would be nearly impossible to play a full schedule.

Record book rewritten in NWAC triathlon Seven records fell in the North Whidbey Aquatic Club’s fifth annual junior/senior triathlon Friday, Aug. 24.

Two other records were set in the gold triathlon for younger competitors Thursday, Aug. 23.

In the junior/senior event, Laura Rosen smashed her own girls course record by 56 seconds by clocking a 52:57 while swimming 1,600 meters, biking four miles and running two miles. Her times of 19:10 (swim), 18:33 (bike) and 15:14 (run) included swim and bike records and helped her place fifth overall out of nine boys and 13 girls.

Brett Vagt set a boys course mark of 49:02 with splits of 19:14, 16:49 (record) and 12:59, breaking Evan Wilson’s 2010 course record by five seconds.

In all, records were set in five of the six components. In addition to Rosen and Vagt’s marks, Jeron Kosbar set a boys running record (11:46), obliterating the old mark by 1:22; and Lauren Vagt reset her own girls running record, dropping it to 13:32 from 14:05.

The only component record

The Cascade Conference, understanding Coupeville’s plight, agreed to allow Coupeville to play a partial league schedule, skipping the larger and traditionally more powerful schools.

The 1A Wolves won’t meet up with 2A Lakewood, Cedarcrest and Archbishop Murphy, but will play the league’s other two 1A schools, South Whidbey and King’s, and the smaller 2A schools Sultan and Granite Falls.

Coupeville filled out its schedule with teams more its size, 1A teams Bellevue Christian, Port Townsend, Lynden Christian and Nooksack Valley and 2B Orcas Island.

Coupeville’s first-year head coach Tony Maggio said, “I love our new schedule, it should still be competitive but fair. We will be playing teams close to our size.”

not broken was Wilson’s 2010 swim record of 18:23.

Lauren Vagt finished second among the girls (55:17) and sixth overall.

The top five finishers all surpassed the winning time of the first triathlon in 2008, and eight girls topped the fastest female time of 2008.

Following Brett Vagt in the overall finish were Josh Jepsen (51:29), Cole Weinstein (51:31) and Kosbar (52:03).

On the girls side, after Rosen and Lauren Vagt were Kelly Huffer (55:44, seventh overall), Molly Vagt (55:53, eighth) and Ciara Hu (58:42, 11th).

In the gold triathlon, Sydney Dickinson won (39:03) while setting a new running record (9:27) on the course which included a 1,000-meter swim, 2.4-mile ride and 1.2-mile run.

Bruce Vagt finished second overall and first among the boys (40:12), and Mary Catherine Middleton placed third (40:19) while setting a new bike record (14:30).

Sam Hines was fourth (42:02) and Sophie Dickinson fifth (42:33) out of 10 competitors.

Wesco realigns for upcoming year Oak Harbor part of 5-team 3A North With the swings in enrollments in several of its schools, the Western Conference, Oak Harbor’s league, will divide into a different alignment this school year.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association conducts enrollment counts every two years and schools shift classifications based on those numbers.

Two members of the Western Conference, Stanwood and Marysville-Pilchuck, had a decline

in enrollment and will drop from 4A to 3A. Lynnwood will jump from 3A to 4A. Now with 10 3A schools, Wesco decided to split those schools into two five-team divisions.

Oak Harbor will join Stanwood, Marysville-Pilchuck, Marysville Getchell and Everett in the North.

Glacier Peak, Meadowdale, Mountlake Terrace, Shorecrest and Shorewood will be in the South.

Mount Vernon jumped to 4A this year and left the Northwest Conference because it does not have any other 4A schools. The Bulldogs will be part of the five-team Wesco

4A North with Arlington, Monroe, Snohomish and Lake Stevens.

Lynnwood, Cascade, EdmondsWoodway, Mariner, Kamiak and Jackson will compete in the Wesco 4A South.

Western Conference administrators are still working out the kinks in the playoff format for fall sports.

The details for qualifying for the post season are expected to be announced soon, according to Oak Harbor High School Athletic Director Nicki Luper.

Meet, support an angel

Staff reporter

When Lindsey and Greg Renick learned they were having a baby girl, images of frilly pink clothes, baking cookies and prom dresses filled Lindsey’s mind. Her baby daughter would grow up to have sleep over parties, paint her nails and someday, get married and have a family of her own.

Those images were shortlived. Now, the family asks the community for help raising money for research through a picnic fundraiser to be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor.

By age 1, baby Mackenzie wasn’t functioning the same as other girls her age. She didn’t sit up alone or crawl and had already gone through two corrective surgeries for eye and ear issues. Lindsey had a “mom gut feeling” that something wasn’t right.

After months of therapy with little progress, Lindsey convinced the pediatrician that there was more to Mackenzie’s developmental delays and the developmental pediatrician department at the Navy Hospital in Virginia, their home at the time, consented to “poke and prod,” Lindsey said.

“Let me tell you, there are times in your life when you pray to be wrong,” Lindsey said.

But Lindsey’s gut feeling wasn’t wrong. Pediatricians discovered that 20-month-old Mackenzie was functioning at the 6 to 8 month level, Lindsey said. The pediatrician threw around a few possible disorders and said Mackenzie could be that way forever.

“I cried all the way home,” Lindsey said.

At home, she cried some more before channeling her fears and anger into research.

“I felt like every dream I had for her life was gone. I have since learned that those dreams are just different,” Lindsey said. “I went from dreams of playing dress up and prom shopping to hoping she could ever help dress and undress herself. Future potty training stress now became wondering how long she would be in diapers. The answer is possibly forever.”

The Renick family will hold a fundraising picnic from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor.

Money raised will fund Angelman Syndrome research.

Visit the fundraising page at https://fundrazr. com/campaigns/dLC23.

Rebecca Olson / Whidbey News-Times

Mackenzie Renick, 4, enjoys her dad’s, Greg Renick, embrace. Mackenzie was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome and the Renicks hope to raise awareness for the rare disease and funding for its cure at a picnic fundraiser Sept. 15 at Windjammer Park.

“Our little girl would never learn to drive, instead I will always need to have room in the car for her specialized equipment,” Lindsey continued. “Gone was the image of her walking down the aisle, replaced by wondering if she would ever walk.”

Thanks to an offhand comment by a physical therapist, Lindsey and Greg learned of Angelman Syndrome, a neuro-genetic disorder that affects one in about 20,000 children. Characteristics of the disorder include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures and walking and balance disorders, and individuals with Angelman syndrome will require life-long care, according to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. The syndrome stems from problems with a single gene.

Tests revealed that Mackenzie was an Angel, which Lindsey said was a relief in the face of a number of scary disorders. Consistent with effects of the syndrome, Mackenzie has blonde hair, blue eyes and porcelain skin and is constantly a little angel: smiling a dimple-cheeked grin and giggling.

Now, at age 4, Mackenzie walks and the little angel has also transformed into a mon-

key who climbs all over everything, Lindsey said. Giggling, she tromped around the Renicks’ living room, clasping a toy in her hands and laughing at her dad’s loving nicknames for her or at the antics of her brother, Rowan, 6. She attends Hand in Hand Learning Center in Oak Harbor.

Lindsey is a work-at-home mom for Angel’s Food Custom Cakes, named after her angel, and Greg is a Command Master Chief for VAQ-129 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The Renicks moved from Virginia to Oak Harbor earlier this year.

“Every day is like having any other child except for the communication,” Lindsey said. Mackenzie isn’t able to tell her parents when she isn’t feeling well, and she also can’t comprehend her parents’ demands, even when she is in danger. If she burns her hand on the stove, she would go back and do it again 10 minutes later because she can’t understand, Lindsey said.

The scariest effect of Angelman Syndrome is the seizures. A few weeks ago, Mackenzie had her first.

“It was absolutely one of the most terrifying moments

of my life,” Lindsey said.

Mackenzie’s uncanny ability to climb up, around and over everything has aged Lindsey by years, Greg said. Mackenzie sleeps in an enclosed bed — which she climbs on, too — because she gets up as early as 2 or 4 a.m., completely energized.

“She puts stress into you in two seconds when she’s in danger and takes it out in two seconds with her smile,” Lindsey said. Even after tripping while gallivanting around the living room, Mackenzie was up again, beaming, a moment later. “She’s always happy. That’s a trait of an Angel baby,” Lindsey added.

“We look at it as a blessing,” Greg said, hugging his grinning daughter. “It kind of forces you to be more patient, more understanding.”

Sometimes, the people the Renicks have to be the most patient with are strangers who approach Mackenzie and ask what’s wrong with her. They absolutely hate that question because there is nothing wrong with Mackenzie, Lindsey said. “Normal” isn’t a word in the family’s vocabulary.

“There will hopefully come a point when you say ‘Angelman Syndrome’ people

don’t cock their head and say, ‘What’s that?’” Lindsey said.

The Renicks hope their fundraiser picnic will raise awareness for the syndrome. They were stunned to discover another Angel family in Oak Harbor and one in Freeland.

A few other Washington Angel families will attend the picnic.

“When you get two together, that’s amazing,” Lindsey said. Another Angel mom told her “you feel like every Angel child is yours,” Lindsey said. When an Angel gets sick or meets a milestone, it could be your own child next or you’ve been there, Lindsey added.

Actor Colin Farrell’s son was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, bringing further awareness to the disorder.

“We don’t have Jenny McCarthy, we have Colin Farrell,” Lindsey laughed.

At the end of the day, the Renicks are just a family with a special blessing, they said.

“She’s happy and she’s healthy and she’s incredibly well-functioning. We hope that she talks at some point,” Lindsey said.

“We think the best part about this is she’ll always be pure and innocent,” Greg said.

“She’ll never get her heart broken,” Lindsey added.

“Every day, when she sees her mom and dad, she’s instantly happy,” Greg said.

When the community meets her at the Angelman Syndrome Picnic Fundraiser, it will be impossible not to smile at the charming little angel. So far, the Renicks have raised more than $1,000 for Angelman Syndrome research, which surpassed last year’s total. Twenty-five businesses have donated so See ANGEL, A20

ANGEL CONTINUED FROM A11 far and are sponsoring the event with food and auction prizes. This is the second year the Renicks have hosted the fundraiser.

“A lot of businesses have been incredibly helpful,”

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

Lindsey said.

“We’ve been amazed with the level of support from the community and people willing to help out,” Greg said, adding that that’s wonderful with how rare Angelman Syndrome is.

“Each Angel is a perfect pure representation of happiness, unconditional and unending love, light, strength

and beauty. Our daughter is just one shining example of what God can create and how he can teach the world through an Angel who can’t say a word,” Lindsey said.
