Former workers claim improper dismissal by city By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

In a symbolic gesture, Navy Petty Officer Bart, an elite military working dog, was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal in Oak Harbor Saturday.

of Arms Chief Petty Officer Blakeney Adams and his family. The Military Appreciation Picnic is an annual event put on by the Oak Harbor Council of the Navy League. Organization President Jim Slowik said he was very happy with this year’s attendance as hundreds turned out to enjoy the sun and food. “We’re cooking hotdogs just as fast as we can,” he laughed. The event is about getting together to have a good time but mostly to honor the military in Oak Harbor, thank them for their service and let them know they are appreciated for everything they do. “All we want to is let the troops know this is a friendly place to live and that they are welcome here,” he said. To that end, the effort is a great success. Capt. Jay Johnston, commander of the base, said the Navy does feel welcome in the community thanks in part to events like these. “We appreciate everything the Navy League does, and the city, too,” Johnston said.

n unsung Navy hero was honored in Oak Harbor Saturday. As a symbolic gesture in recognition of his many contributions to the United States military, the distinguished veteran was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal. While most in his position would have saluted and given a speech, his response was a throaty bark and a wagging tail. Petty Officer Bart was one of the Navy’s elite military working dogs. He has been retired from active duty and Saturday’s ceremony at the annual Military Appreciation Picnic at Windjammer Park was in recognition of his seven-year career. “Some may not understand what we do as handlers or the importance of our working dogs, but many sailors and their families are enjoying their todays and planning their tomorrows because

of what a military working dog did for them yesterday,” said Shanelle Crites, Bart’s last Navy working dog handler. Bart’s accomplishments include missions supporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and the Oak Harbor Police Department. He deployed to Arifjan, Kuwait, has searched over 20,000 vehicles, 1,000 buildings, 550 open areas and 1,200 barracks. He assisted Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Security in 32 drug calls, 28 security backups, 18 alarmed responses, 12 domestic violence calls and conducted more than 40 K9 demonstrations. Bart was also presented with a certificate of appreciation by Oak Harbor City Councilman Joel Servatius. “May your couch always be comfortable, may you run with the wind at your side and may each day end with a doggy treat,” said Servatius, reading from the presented certificate. Bart has been adopted by Master

Two former employees with the city of Oak Harbor have made claims alleging that the city owes them large sums of money because of the actions of Mayor Scott Dudley. Former Oak Harbor Police Chief Rick Wallace filed a lawsuit against the city in Island County Superior Court last month claiming wrongful termination and breach of contract. Wallace first filed a tort with the city, a step that must be taken before a lawsuit, in July. He asked for $550,000 in lost wages and benefits. Former City Engineer Eric Johnston filed a claim for damages with the city last Tuesday, which was his last day of work. He is claiming that Dudley created a hostile work environment and forced him to find work elsewhere. He is asking for $300,000 in damages. Oak Harbor attorney Christon Skinner represents both Wallace and Johnston. Dudley, however, said the claims are baseless. He said he consulted with attorneys before he fired Wallace and did nothing improper that wasn’t within his authority. “I’m looking forward to being vindicated in court,” he said. Dudley promised change in last year’s mayoral campaign. When he came into office in January, he promptly fired the city administrator, the city attorney and the fire chief. In the lawsuit, Skinner writes that Dudley fired the

officials “for political reasons and in furtherance of campaign promises that he made to his political supporters.” Dudley counters that he made no promises to fire or hire anyone. Dudley said he urged Wallace, a longtime member of the police department, to retire. The claim says Wallace initially agreed, but then concluded that he could not be forced to retire because of his “for cause” employee status. The issue of whether Wallace is a “for cause” or “at will” employee is at the heart of the lawsuit. Skinner argues Wallace was a forcause employee because of a description in the city’s personnel policy manual. In addition, Wallace was never presented an employment contract and didn’t receive a severance packages as other fired at-will employees have. Dudley, on the other hand, said the former and current city attorneys advised him that Wallace was an at-will employee and could be fired without cause. Wallace’s original claim was sent to the Washington Cities Insurance Authority, which is essentially the city’s insurance company. A senior adjustor denied the claim, concluding that city code states that the police chief serves at the discretion of the mayor.

Renegade goats flee, but ‘repent’ at church By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A herd of small goats took a break from their job Saturday night to tour part of Coupeville. Dozens of goats and one llama brought in to tackle a weed problem escaped their portable pen near the intersection of Gould and Front streets sometime between Saturday evening and Sunday morning. By the time they had been discovered, they were blocks away in the parking lot of Coupeville Community Bible

Church on Otis Street. “They did what goats and llamas do,” Pastor Rick Karjalainen joked, noting they trimmed the grass, fertilized the parking lot and pruned some of the flowers while they were on the church property. The goats belonged to Akyla Farms, based in SedroWoolley. The goats were in Coupeville to help a property owner tackle an ivy and blackberry bush problem. “What we think happened is something spooked them in the middle of the night,”

Akyla Farms owner Carol Osterman said in a Monday morning interview. One of the goats managed to topple the small electrified fence that corrals them and they were able to get away. The property owner who hired the goats helped corral them back into their pen, Osterman said. She has dozens of goats that provide a natural way to help remove unwanted ivy and blackberry bushes that can overgrow a property. The goats, along with a llama named Fiber – who accompanies the goats and protects them – arrived at the property located next to the town’s wastewater treatment plant Thursday and were taken home Monday afternoon. Her goats have visited Coupeville before. In September 2011, the herd spent several days at Town Park in Coupeville to help remove some overgrown blackberry bushes and ivy. She generally uses a porta-

problem. Karjalainen said that one of the people worshiping at the community church swept the parking lot to make sure none of the goat’s “fertilizer” was tracked inside. “It’s part of living on Whidbey Island,” Karjalainen said.

Coupeville Town Marshal Lance Davenport said he hasn’t received any reports of damage related to the nighttime breakout. Osterman said she is going to be more careful about where to place the goats and double check for any wildlife trails that could pose a

Whidbey firefighters and sailors remember Sept. 11 By NATHAN WHALEN and KATHY REED Staff reporters

Elected officials, community leaders, police officers and residents joined firefighters from Oak Harbor and North Whidbey to remember their fellow rescue workers who perished in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. While a small ceremony was held on Whidbey Naval Air Station, the Oak Harbor Fire Department hosted a remembrance ceremony Tuesday morning to mark the 11th anniversary of tragedy. “We’re here today to remember and commemorate the events of Sept. 11,” North Whidbey Fire and Rescue Chief Marv Koorn said. “Three hundred and forty-three New York firefighters rushed into the buildings and paid the ultimate sacrifice.” About 30 people, including state Reps. Barbara Bailey and Norma Smith and state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, attended the Tuesday morning event that took place as students walked to North Whidbey Middle School across the street. Oak Harbor Fire Department Chaplain Ron Hancock suspected everyone knew where they were during the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. He noted he was in a fire station the day of the attack. He would later visit New York City, representing the fire departments on Whidbey Island. He took time to tell the somber crowd that the day also marked a time to evaluate their lives. “We need to live lives in an honorable way,” Hancock said, adding later in his invocation that he challenged the crowd to seriously think about where they are at spiritually. Haugen said every time she thinks about the attacks,

Bailey said she was struck by the names of the people who died. “It is a moment in time that will be etched in our minds,” Bailey said. Lt. Don Baer of the Oak Harbor Fire Department started the ceremony by trumpeting “Taps” while a large American Flag was unfurled from the department’s ladder truck that was parked in front of the Whidbey Avenue station.

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station also held a ceremony Tuesday morning in front of the Ault Field Command Building. “This was a defining day to our generation, much like others remember Pearl Harbor,” said NAS Whidbey Island Fire Department Battalion Chief Sean Merrill. “Those 343 were the chosen ones,” Merrill continued. “They knew they faced a bad situation and they went anyway. That’s what makes them so special.” A small group of sailors and civilians gathered for

A moment of silence was observed before firefighters Jeff Porter and Erik Andersen hoisted the American flag and the National Anthem was broadcast over the public address system. Following the ceremony, Fire Inspector Alan Sprouse said the day has come to mean different things to different people. “For some, it’s more celebratory, while others are

still mourning the losses,” he said. “It’s a day of reflection,” agreed Merrill. “It’s a day to make sure you kiss your wife and your kid before you leave for work; to thank the brothers you see in the house and to remember why you do what you do.” “It’s one of those days you know is coming and

you remember those who sacrificed their lives,” said Battalion Chief Jeff Daniels. From anti-terrorism training courses to carrying anthrax kits, firefighters feel the impact of 9/11 every day, along with the rest of the country. “It’s changed the world forever,” said Sprouse. “It will never be the same.”

New face takes command of Navy hospital By KATHY REED Staff reporter

In observance of a timehonored tradition, Naval Hospital Oak Harbor held a formal change of command ceremony Friday, Aug. 31 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Mother Nature provided picture-perfect weather for the ceremony, which was held in the outdoor amphitheater of the Naval Ocean Processing Facility, a scenic backdrop as Capt. Edward Simmer relieved Capt. Susan Lichtenstein as the hospital’s commanding officer. Special guest for the occasion was Rear Adm. C. Forrest Faison III, Commander, Navy Medicine West. Faison sang the praises of Capt. Lichtenstein, who took command of NHOH in April, 2010. “I am here to recognize a truly outstanding team,” Faison said. “You have made a difference in the lives of those who came to you and needed your help.” According to Faison, under Lichtenstein’s leadership, NHOH achieved exceptional results, as all 20 aviation

squadrons earned the Blue “M” award for medical readiness two years in a row. “That’s unheard of in the Navy,” Faison said. “You are the model the Navy holds up when showing others how it should be done.” Faison also had words of praise for new commanding officer of NHOH, Capt. Edward Simmer. “He is absolutely the right man to continue the great work begun by Capt. Lichtenstein,” he said. For her part, Lichtenstein spoke affectionately of her time at NAS Whidbey. “I love Naval Hospital Oak Harbor,” she said. “It was an honor and privilege to take command. But all good things must end.” Lichtenstein had high praise for the staff and crew of the hospital and also spoke highly of the Oak Harbor community at large. “I don’t believe there’s another duty station anywhere that has the support of the community like this one,” she said. “It’s hard to say goodbye.” Lichtenstein will now serve as Deputy Director of

claims CONTINUED FROM A1 “The mayor exercised his authority under the municipal code in terminating your client’s employment,” Senior Adjustor Gordy Van wrote to Skinner. After Wallace refused to retire, City Council members proposed a new section of city code that would “grandfather” Wallace and Rosen in as “for cause” employees. Four days before the council was scheduled to approve the measure, Dudley fired Wallace. As for Johnston, Dudley has been critical of him even before becoming mayor. Dudley was a critic of the project that converted Pioneer Way into a one-way thruway and ended up being very costly after Native American cultural remains were discovered under the blacktop. As city engineer Johnston was involved in the project, though he wasn’t the project manager; he was, however, among the city officials who had not responded to a warning from Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation about the likelihood of such an inadvertent find. In the claim for damages, Skinner writes that Dudley “made numerous attempts to manufacture ‘cause’ to terminate Mr. Johnston’s employment.” When that failed, Dudley allegedly tried to make Johnston’s job

unbearable. The claim alleges that Dudley personally launched repeated investigations into current and past projects that Johnston was involved in, without the knowledge of the city administrator, the human resources director or Johnston’s supervisor, in violation of the city’s employee handbook. In addition, Dudley allegedly repeated public statements of an untrue and disrespectful nature about Johnston; berated him in the workplace, in public and in publications; excluded him from communications and meetings pertinent to his job; reassigned him without notice or justification of Johnston’s primary job responsibilities, the claim states. “The actions of the mayor left Mr. Johnston no choice but to seek other employment and resign from employment with the City of Oak Harbor,” the complaint states. “This decision was made solely as a result of Mayor Dudley’s threats to terminate Mr. Johnston’s employment and the mayor’s related, harassing behavior.” The complaint indicates that Johnston took a job in Bellingham. His complaint was sent to the Washington Cities Insurance Authority for consideration. Dudley said he doesn’t expect to settle, but the city won’t have to pay no matter what happens. The insurance authority would pick up the bill.

Sheriff asks for an additional $1.4 million from commissioners By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Island County Commissioners have rolled up their sleeves and begun work on yet another tough budget. Last week marked the conclusion of a series of meetings in which department heads and elected officials presented their proposed 2013 budgets to the board. Although the county’s bottom line is expected to remain largely the same, with no cuts expected, the board was hit with nearly $1.9 million in budget requests. Most came from departments that are struggling as staff members attempt to maintain existing levels of service in the wake of about $6 million in cuts to the general fund over the past four years. Commission Helen Price Johnson, who is chairwoman of the board, said the desperation expressed by so many government leaders through budget requests came as little surprise. “This is what smaller government looks like and it is hard,” Price Johnson said. The writing, she added, has been on the wall since 2010 when a proposed $2 million tax hike failed to pass voter approval. “When Proposition 1 didn’t pass, it was clear to me this would be the result,” the commissioner said.

Sheriff requests The bulk of the requests came from Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, who in recent years has been one of the most vocal county

leaders to criticize the board for its budget decisions. In all, he asked for an additional $1.4 million in funding on top of an existing $6.3 million budget, which includes the jail. It would pay for 10 additional patrol deputies, three more correctional officers, eight new squad cars, and the extra fuel and training that would accompany the new hires. The sheriff currently has the largest apportionment of the general fund, representing about 29 percent of the total $21.4-million pot. Yet he argues that his office is the lowest staffed per capita in the state with just 0.6 officers per 1,000 residents. At the same time, he maintains that Island County is the ninth largest unincorporated population and the fifth greatest in density. The sheriff’s budget presentations were marked by heated discussions between the sheriff and the board over a range of topics, from vehicle replacement policies to deputy overtime expenses. Although there was much disagreement, particularly over Brown’s adamant stance that lawand-justice expenses should be the board’s top priority, the sheriff said later that a “fairly frank conversation” was needed. He also acknowledged that his full budget request likely exceeds the current capacity of county coffers. But Brown said it was still his duty to make clear to the board the severity of his department’s lack of manpower. “The fact that it may not be in the budget is a reality to me but that doesn’t reflect my need,” he said. Budget Director Elaine Marlow

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson listens as Budget Director Elaine Marlow talks about the cost of police patrol cars at a budget workshop last week. confirmed that funding Brown’s full request would require extreme measures. Money would have to be taken from other departments and the vast majority is used to pay for services that are required by the state, she said. Even funding the requests of other county departments, all of which pale in comparison in terms of amount to sheriff’s proposal, will be tricky.

Other needs Most of the departments with the largest budgets — Island County Public Health, Public Works and Human Services — have made what are largely budget-neutral proposals. Public health is facing a $52,000 deficit, but Director Keith Higman said he’s hopeful the majority will be picked up with grant funding. Human Services is receiving additional funding over last year

for several programs, but all the money comes from a special sales tax. It’s what’s referred to as nondiscretionary funding and can’t be use to pay for unrelated expenses, such as cops. Public Works is not asking for an increase, Marlow said. Each of the departments command multi-million dollar budgets, but the vast majority of their funding comes from other sources, such as grants and fees, which is also nondiscretionary. Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider is asking for $110,000 in additional funding to replace an accountant lost in 2010 and to cover the cost of hiring a replacement chief deputy. The Island County treasurer is asking to retain a part-time administrative assistant to help with a backlog of supplement processing — less than $10,000 — and the General Services Administration

is asking for an additional $30,000 for public defense for the hiring of experts in upcoming felony cases. The Island County WSU Extension office is asking for about $2,500 for forestry related programs. The office currently receives about $100,000 from the general fund; about $25,000 goes to the statemandated noxious weed program and the remainder is spent largely on salaries, which is more than matched by university funding. District Court is requesting the hours of a handful of employees be restored from 35 hours to 40 hours a week at a cost of about $40,000. The county has been working to implement a geographic information and data imaging system. The IT department is looking for about $72,000 to hire someone to manage the new system. Also requested is a 24-hour per week mailroom/custodian position, which tabs out to $20,000. The planning department, clerk and prosecutor have also asked for increases, totaling about $205,000.

What’s next Now that the board has heard from all the departments, it has begun the arduous task of formulating a working budget. With so little money to go around, the process will not be easy. “The only way a request could be granted is by taking it from someone else,” Price Johnson said. “I wish we had the resources to help them.” Each board member is being tasked with formulating their own budget proposal and they will be hashed out over a series of workshops this month.

IN OUR OPINION

Music festival loved by all It’s been a week and a half, but people are still talking about the The Oak Harbor Jazz and Music Festival on Pioneer Way. It was a huge hit with visitors and locals alike. Many hundreds of folks descended to the historic downtown area to boogie up and down the road as top-notch bands played on two stages. The first-time event went flawlessly, which is a testament to the organizers and many volunteers who worked so hard to pull off the large-scale festival in such a short amount of time. Councilwoman Tara Hizon got it right when she said that Oak Harbor is starving for this kind of event. Something cultural, artistic and a little wild. The musicians were a mixture of local talent and well-known bands that tour nationally. More than 25 bands played a mixture of jazz, rock-and-rock, old timey music, rhythm and blues and more. The music drew children and older adults alike into the streets. The festival was also good for downtown merchants, who struggled during a lengthy road-construction project and a down economy. It was reported that business was brisk all Labor Day weekend, which is normally a quiet time downtown. Michael John Paparella proposed the festival, in part, to help bring his merchants together over a common goal. He succeeded admirably. Rhonda Severns, the city liaison, was properly feted at the last City Council meeting for her tireless work making the festival a reality. Margaret Livermore, Larry Mason, Lynn Goebel, Kelly Beedle, Michelle Curry and the Downtown Merchants Association should also take bows. We are looking forward to another wonderful Jazz and Music Festival next year.

Letters to the editor Feedback

Response saddens letter writer This is in reply to the hundreds of comments to the Sept. 5 Letter to the Editor in the Whidbey News-Times, entitled “Navy should act like our guests.” Apology -- I have read most of the hundreds of comments, and please know that we are truly saddened that we have offended so many of our military friends and families who sacrifice so much. Please allow me to clarify. Taxes -- The statement about taxes was referring to property tax only. Government agencies do not pay property tax. Many were offended by the implication that military personnel do not pay property tax, but that was not what was

meant. In all fairness, while Whidbey Navy does not pay property tax, they are very generous to the community in helping to fund schools, infrastructure, and charities. Noise -- If you read the original Letter to the Editor, you will see that the only negative aspect was the issue of a possible increase in training flights and noise. She was simply giving her opinion against an increase in noise over Coupeville in response to the Navy request for community input. As it stands today, the whole issue has changed, at least for Coupeville, because the increases would be over North Whidbey. Eight Hours of Sleep -Many took offense at her need for eight hours of sleep, which is required due to health concerns. George Haglund Coupeville

Veteran finds paper appalling As I was enjoying a quiet night with my husband (one of the few due to his strong commitment to his country) I came across an article in your paper. It spoke about the Navy being “guests” here on the island and how a woman named Caralyn Haglund was so upset because the Navy flies their planes at night and disrupts her eight hours of sleep, along with a few other nasty insults. I find it very disgraceful that you would allow this type of garbage to be printed in your paper. Whidbey Island as a whole is made up of over 50 percent military or former military people. Without even a thought to how this might offend someone or a whole community for that matter it was printed in black and white.

As a military vet myself and a current military spouse, I find it absolutely appalling. I am not against our rights as Americans, especially our freedom of speech however, if it were not for those sailors and marines flying these planes late at night those rights would be nonexistent! I personally will no longer be a supporter of your paper and yes it is because of this one article. Myself and my three children will be saying goodbye to my husband for a minimum of nine months so he can be out in the middle of the ocean somewhere protecting this amazing country and the lack of amazing people who live in it. But I’m sure those stories won’t be making it to the printing press. In conclusion, I honestly hope you are aware of the negative and flat out bad publicity this one article has given your paper.

Letters to the editor Navy training flights

Sound of Navy jets is the sound of freedom In reference to Caralyn Haglund letter to the News-Times: First of all, I condemn those who acted like jerks in reply to Ms. Haglund’s letter to the editor. I hope that whoever harassed her, threatened her in any way are found out and prosecuted. I offer the following to her and others who do agree with her. Landing on an aircraft carrier is nothing more than a “controlled crash landing.” It takes nerves, concentration, and sometimes a little luck to be successful. Night flight landing operations are the most demanding and dangerous of all, and even more so in rough seas. Hours of practice and training goes into this before they are allowed to do their first carrier landing. The landing area (cable arresting area) is a very short area on the flight deck. A miss means a go around or an on-board accident. A carrier at sea goes fast enough to get at least 30 knots of wind across the flight deck, which also can be pitching and rolling, when launching and recovering aircraft. I served aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer. One of our missions was to screen the carrier, provide plane guard detail in case of a plane going into the drink or other emergencies that needed to be addressed, such as a man overboard from the carrier. While doing this on a training mission during night flight operations, an accident happened when an aircraft landed, lighting up the flight deck with fire. Also at that time, there was a possible man overboard from the carrier. We went into a search mode until the carrier took muster and accounted for all hands. The worst accident, again at night, was when a pilot came in too low and crashed his plane into the stern. Plane parts were on the flight deck, the hangar deck, but most into the sea. All that was found in the water was the pilot’s helmet and some papers. Another time was when the pilot ditched his plane right along side our ship. This was day operations in rain and rough seas. We were at flank speed when it happened. We went to an emergency full stop, but before we could pick him up a helicopter from the carrier picked him out of the water. We even had an officer, who was disqualified to fly, assigned to our ship because he had ditched two aircraft when he was unable to land on a carrier. Too expensive to give him another try. A naval aviator who flies off and onto an aircraft carrier must be sharp and practiced at all times. That is one reason they need to practice. If they go past a certain number of days of not flying they must be requalified. In other words they must practice, practice, practice. When a

flight squadron is deployed to a carrier they must be ready to go. To those who are complaining about the night use of the Outlying Field for practice carrier landings, I say why would you want to jeopardize human life, pilots as well as flight deck personnel and multimillion dollar aircraft because you might be discomforted by these operations. For God sakes the sound of our Navy jets is the sound of freedom. Freedom even for those who complain. Al Carpenter Clinton

Training jet noise is a heaven-sent sound First and foremost, I want to say that it is disgusting the way people have been threatening and attacking Ms. Haglund. There is absolutely no reason why anyone should have made her address and phone number public. For that, Ms. Haglund, I am sorry. You were simply exercising your right of freedom of speech. That being said, I say enjoy the “noise.” To many, and most on the north end of this island, that “noise” isn’t noise at all. It’s a heaven-sent sound. It’s the sound of a rescue on a dark desert night. The sound of help on the way. The sound of men and women who have returned home, and the sound of those who didn’t. So, before you ignorantly complain about the “noise,” again: think. As I said previously: Enjoy the “noise” because, more than likely, you’ve never looked in the eyes of a fear-stricken soldier and said, “Don’t worry, the jets are coming, I can hear them, just hold on for a few more minutes,” knowing full well that the jets aren’t coming. You can’t hear them, but deep down you are hoping and praying that you will hear that “heaven-sent sound.” Rachel Conner U.S. Navy veteran, Oak Harbor

Newspaper reaps what it has sown Just read your editorial concerning the letter to the editor about the jet noise. It would seem that you got exactly what you hoped for in publishing that letter, only you did not count on individuals who would go beyond common decency. When you print a trolling letter, and yes, this is exactly what this letter was and you knew it, you will bring the best and worst out of people. I am not saying the letter writer did not have a right to her opinion, but you – the WNT staff – knew the letter’s points were not valid but thought it would be fun to see if you could get a rise in your popularity poll. Well, you reap what you sow. I would encourage my fellow islanders not to concern themselves with the letter writer, but put full blame on who is responsible for this – the Whidbey News-Times. Jim Pace Oak Harbor

Navy and neighbors can find a balance There have been many complaints lately about jet noise in Coupeville. I have not seen any constructive feedback on the topic. I am going to try and bridge that gap. NAS Whidbey is here on Whidbey. They need to train their pilots for deployment. That means training them at the OLF for carrier landings and launches. End of story. I have lived here since 2005 and I can say that we have had flights this summer that I believe were not necessary. Is flying until 1 a.m. really necessary? There is a compromise here. I was told that before “Sept. 11,” the flight schedule had been published. I can understand why that changed after 9/11. However, it was just another case of the pendulum swinging right/left to extremes rather than offering up a middle compromise to meet the most needs. Why can’t there be a balance between the two needs which would appease most folks? The jet noise definitely impacts the community. It is physically detrimental to hearing for people outside. Why can’t NAS Whidbey alert Coupeville residents when the flights will occur? The community can plan around it. I could even plan around having them fly until 1 a.m. (even though I will never be convinced they need to) if I just knew the day before they would be doing it. Would residents need to sign off on something to get that information? I would gladly do so. Joanne McMillen **TOWN?

Newspaper should not have printed letter I would like to know why the article “The Navy should act like our guests” by Caralyn Haglund, was published. It reflects badly on the Whidbey News-Times as it is an attack on our U.S. Navy. They fight for our freedom and the author should be thankful for all that they do. Sara VanOrden **TOWN?

Veteran supports the voice of dissent I read with shocked dismay at the vitriol spewed at the author a recent letter concerning the Navy jets and their flight operation. Do people not understand that this letter was at its core a reminder to our military that they are subject to the citizenry, and not the citizenry to the military? That our government, of which the military is a part, gets its existence from the consent of the governed? Anything else is a dictatorship. If WNT readers believe that this opinion letter is “filth,” “a dig against the Navy on par with Afghan and Iraqi insurgents,” “a travesty to have had it printed,” worthy of “subscription cancellations” and in some cases “harassment, rape and violence,” then we have confused patriotism with fascism and the rule

Page A7

of law with mob rule. Some have even said, “She got herself into this and WNT let her.” Let me see if I get this: blame the victim for being victimized? “Yes, your honor it was her own fault she was raped. She really had it coming to her.” Your editorial piece was spot on. Freedom of speech is far more than simply the right to speak. Yes, it is certainly the right to hold a different opinion, speak an unpopular thought, or make an unpopular stand. However, it is also the responsibility to speak with integrity, defend the well being of the dissident, speak without recrimination while being sure to speak in a manner upholding civil discourse and the law. It’s easy to see the world in the simple, black and white world of conspiracy, moralism and self-justification. “Conspiratorial” views of dissenters, biased editors, publishers, political parties and dominant cultural outlets only help to fuel the opposite of civility and public discourse. Hate and violence are just that and will continue to breed more hate and violence. If we cannot tolerate this benign form of disagreement, then God help us all. Speak your piece, sister, this is one veteran who will stand by you. Scott Scrimshaw Oak Harbor

Parks

An injustice for Ranger Wyman When I read the article about Ranger Wyman, I was astonished and heart-broken she was fired from Deception Pass State Park for negligent driving. Debra Wyman is a hard-working, fun, caring, intelligent woman adored by many. I have honestly looked up to her remarkable work ethic and enthusiasm for nature over the years. Without a doubt, no one should be exempt from the consequences following such an offense. She was fired for the first and only offense in her 18 years working for Washington State Parks. The reason for my astonishment? Many other rangers in the agency have been involved in far worse circumstances and kept their jobs. A Fort Casey State Park ranger was involved in a domestic violence case, intoxicated and beat up his daughter then hiding in a bunker at Fort Casey and removed at gun point by police. This ranger still carries a firearm and has a job. A Fort Flagler State Park manager was pulled over for DUI, flashed his badge at the officer to get himself out of it. This ranger still has a job. A Lake Wenatchee State Park ranger was presented with a drug charge while on duty. This ranger still has a job. A Yakima-Sportsman State Park ranger has multiple DUI charges and attempted to hide one of them. This ranger also still has a job. This leads to the question; how do these male rangers still have jobs, but Debra Wyman doesn’t? Trish Staplen Mount Vernon

Thanks for another good Memorial Run Re and I would like to thank everyone involved in the 2012 Megan McClung Memorial Run. This year’s run was in a new location, downtown Oak Harbor. The transition from NAS Whidbey to Oak Harbor was unexpected, but because of the full-throttle response from the men and women who work for Oak Harbor we had a tremendously successful event. Immediately after Mayor Scott Dudley called us to offer the city’s support and sponsorship of the race, the roads, parks, police and administration went into high gear to design the 5K and 10K courses and have them certified in time for the event. The certification process became a major task, as qualified certifiers were hard to find during the summer months when they are off running in races and enjoying family time. However, we were certified! Our sponsors included Roger Jobs Audi, the City of Oak Harbor, the Kitsap Sun/Northwest Navigator, Skagit Island Orthopedic Center, Banner Bank, Whidbey Bank, Walgreens, and Major McClung Detachment 1210 MCL, Greg St. Peter Design, REI, Fleet Feet Sports/Seattle, Survival Straps, Windermere of Oak Harbor, One More Mile, The Jewelry Gallery, Flyers Restaurant, McDonalds and the BeBold M3 group. These sponsors provided financial, physical and moral support to the event. Some went further and entered our event as runners! Other sponsors included volunteers from the Fleet Readiness Center NW, the VFW Patriot Riders, the Oak Harbor Yacht Club, Coupeville Physical Therapy, the MCL Det 1210 Marines, Walgreens, Whidbey Bank, Island County Amateur Radio Club and the Navy League. Locally we had 147 registered racers who ranged in age from 6 to 82; several children in strollers being pushed by very determined parents! The racers came from Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, North Dakota, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and British Columbia, as well as all over the Puget Sound! We did not have an Afghanistan race this year as the drawdown left us without a race director and few Marines to participate. However, the BeBold M3 organization (started by her dedicated running partners to continue Megan’s legacy) organized four satellite races on the East Coast. Finally a tip of the hat to Capt. Jay Johnston, NAS Whidbey for his assistance in transitioning the run to Oak Harbor, to Major Scott Dudley for his enthusiastic acceptance and support of the run and particularly to Col. Brad Close for running the 10K after an hours sleep following a flight from the East Coast. We cannot thank you all enough! Mike and Re McClung Coupeville

Navy League salutes Olympic medalist Marti Malloy By KATHY REED Staff reporter

At 26 years old, Marti Malloy has spent well over half her life chasing a dream — one that came true when she captured the bronze medal in judo at the London Olympics last month. Malloy was the guest speaker Tuesday at the meeting of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, where she shared a brief look at the last few months of what has essentially been her life’s journey and how it felt to win a medal. “It’s pure emotion,” she said of her reaction when she realized she’d won. “It’s pure and utter joy, combined with a little disbelief.”

Early start Malloy began her path to Olympic bronze when she was just 6 years old. It got serious after she turned 16 and began to win events. She eventually moved to San Jose, Calif., where she attended San Jose State University continuing to train and compete in judo. It was toward the end of 2011 at the judo World Championships, con-

sidered the highest level of competition in the sport, that Malloy’s dream of the 2012 Olympics drew closer. “In the judo world, it’s the World Championships, the Olympics and the Paris Grand Slam,” Malloy said. After the competition, Malloy was ranked 16th in the world for her weight class. After the Paris Grand Slam, she was ranked 12th, which put her in good position to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team. “It gave me a lot of points and moved me up into 12th,” she said, adding that the Paris crowd knows the sport well. “It’s tough. They know judo, they understand judo, and they want the French to win,” she said, drawing a laugh from the crowd. A shoulder injury following Paris kept Malloy off the mat for six weeks, a difficult place to be when there is no off-season in the sport in which you compete. But the rest helped and by Olympics time, Malloy was feeling good and excited to see the Olympic opening ceremony. “But America goes last at the opening ceremonies, so the whole show was over by the time I got there,” she

Olympic bronze medalist Marti Malloy motions towards herself while making a joke as she answered a question from the audience at the Oak Harbor Council of the Navy League meeting Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. said. Her disappointment in missing the ceremony eased when she realized she was standing just 10 feet from the Olympic torch. But perhaps her biggest boost, besides winning bronze, was winning her first judo match against Telma Monteiro of Portugal, the number 2 seed going into the games.

Golden dream “I want to say that was one of the upsets of these Olympics,” said Malloy. “I mean, for me, it was probably the worst possible draw for the first round. But if not for that first-round win, I wouldn’t have medaled.” Put very simply, the goal in judo is to throw an opponent

onto their back within a five minute match. Half points and quarter points can be awarded for partial throws. If there is no score at the end of the round, the match goes into overtime. If time runs out again, the three judges will pick the winner. Malloy’s first-round went into overtime, where she earned a quarter point two minutes in to win the match. In her second match, Malloy threw her opponent, Maris Yadinys of Columbia, in 40 seconds. “An Olympic match should never be that short,” Malloy said. “But I was on a roll.” Match three, against Russian Irina Zabludina, proved more difficult, even though Malloy had fought

They ruled in Malloy’s favor and it was on to the semifinals. But there Malloy met her match. After dominating most of the match against Romania’s Corina Caprioriu, Malloy saw an opening for an attack. “I lost, it sucks,” Malloy said, earning another laugh from the crowd. “It was a really bad feeling, knowing it was a risk I didn’t have to take.”

again to win bronze. “You have to refocus completely,” she said. “It was a long day, it was stressful. You’re tired, you’re hungry.” But her coach, Jimmy Pedro, told her to keep fighting. “He told me, ‘This feeling you have now is nothing compared to how bad you’ll feel if you don’t get up and fight this match,’” she said. Pedro’s encouragement was all Malloy needed as she faced Giulia Quintavalle of Italy in the bronze medal round. “It was a close match. Halfway through it I did a token move and knocked her flat on her back,” Malloy said with a grin. “I had the time of my life.” Malloy said the best part of winning the bronze was being able to share her victory with her family. “If I had won and my family wasn’t there, I would have been devastated. Those are the faces you’re used to seeing and those are the faces you most want to see,” she said. “I’m so grateful to everyone here for helping them to get there.” Malloy will head back to San Jose, where she has applied for a master’s program. She’s also been in discussions with NBC television, but she’s been so busy since the Olympics, she can’t commit to anything. Well, anything except the Olympics. “I will go for the 2016 Olympics,” she said. Even after 20 years and a bronze medal, Marti Malloy will continue to chase her Olympic dreams.

Oak Harbor drops hammer on Arlington 36-15 By JIM WALLER Sports editor

In this day and age of spread offenses and finesse football, there was nothing subtle about Oak Harbor’s approach in its 36-15 nonleague win at Arlington Friday. The Wildcats (2-0) battered Arlington (0-2) for 303 rushing yards, over half those coming from Fred Webster. The 5-11, 225-pound fullback gashed the Eagles’ defense for 162 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries. Sheyenne Sams added 80 yards on seven carries as nine different Wildcats earned rushing attempts. Quarterback Ian Kolste was an efficient 13-for-21 for 133 yards. Defensively, the ‘Cats dominated the line of scrimmage, allowing only 38 rushing yards on 15 carries. Add in four sacks, and the final yardage total comes to a minus one. The defense also

Mistakes sink Wolves Once the Coupeville football team cleans up its game, it will find the win column, according to coach Tony Maggio. For the second week in a row, the mistake-prone Wolves lost, this time 24-6 to visiting Port Townsend Friday. Maggio, however, remains positive because the problems facing his club are correctable and the losses aren’t a result of a lack of talent. “Our offense is right there; our defense is right there. We are in a position to win,” Maggio said. The Wolves dropped several passes, lost four fumbles, tossed an interception and committed 10 penalties. The Redskins went up 10-0 in the first quarter, then the Wolves scored on an 8-yard run by Bryce Fleming in the second period. The PAT kick failed. The score stayed 10-6 into the fourth quarter and the Wolves were very much in the game, then a turnover shifted the momentum. A Port Townsend sack resulted in a fumble that set up a PT touch-

Korbin Korzan, subbing for starting QB Gunnar Langvold, hit four of 11 passes for 63 yards and one interception. The win stopped a 20-game losing streak (which included two to Coupeville) for the Redskins. Coupeville goes to Lynden Christian (1-1) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Soccer team falls to MV The Oak Harbor soccer team lost a nonleague match 3-1 to visiting Mount Vernon Saturday. Oak Harbor’s goal came from Lauryn Plush, her third in three matches. Coach Jeff Laiblin said although it was his team’s first loss, it was the Wildcats’ strongest effort of the season. Oak Harbor (1-1-1) begins league play at Marysville-Pilchuck (0-2) at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Wildcats 2nd in pool play The Oak Harbor volleyball team finished second in its pool at the SunDome Festival Saturday in Yakima and then dropped a 3-2 match at Glacier Peak Monday. At Yakima, the Wildcats lost to Richland 7-25, 17-25; split with Grandview 2325, 25-18; and defeated Davis of Yakima 25-11, 25-16. Richland went on to finish second in the 32-team tournament. In bracket play of the eight teams which finished second in their pools, Oak Harbor defeated Glacier Peak 26-24, 25-8, then was beaten by Cascade 25-21, 6-25, 11-15 in the semifinals. In Monday’s nonleague match, the Grizzlies won 20-25, 25-20, 16-25, 25-21, 15-10. Kayleigh Harper had 24 kills, 14 digs

had five tackles and two sacks, while Tyler Adamson and Rhys Matilla added

sacks. JoJo Webster and Isaiah Trower had the other interceptions. The Wildcat defense wasn’t perfect, being stung by a mistake in coverage on a play when a DB slipped. Arlington, in its second possession, scored on a 78-yard pass play in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead. From there, Eagle QB Austin Wells completed only 3 of 12 passes for 29 yards and three picks. After a slow start (three punts on the first three possessions), the Oak Harbor offense picked up. On the first play of the second quarter the ‘Cats finished a 70-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run by Fred Webster. Mark Johnston kicked his first of four PATs, and Oak Harbor tied the game at 7. Minutes later Fred Webster sored again and it was 14-7. Arlington opened the second half by returning the kickoff 70 yards for a TD. A bad snap on the PAT kick

Their lucky CSA customers not only get several pounds of seasonal vegetables every week, but they can also pick flowers and herbs at the farm, and have a chance to buy their Thanksgiving turkeys from the farm’s free-range flock. “We want to educate people about how small family farms can grow a variety of crops sustainably, and to show how to build up a farm in small increments without going into debt, such as our barn project-in-progress,” said Wilbur Purdue, pointing proudly to his new barn, where bean-thrashing will be demonstrated on the Farm Tour.

For example, Rosehip Farm’s store sells biodynamically grown grains such as kamut, barley and spring wheat from local growers. Both Rosehip and Prairie Bottom farms will sell potatoes and Rockwell Beans from Willowood Farm during the Farm Tour. “We want people to know what’s available right here in their own backyard,” said Purdue, surveying his productive acreage. “We farmers are happy to be a part of feeding local families and to see children coming to know a farming way of life,”said Bartlett.

After the 20th day following the sale the purchaser has the right to evict occupants who are not tenants by summary proceedings under Chapter 59.12 RCW. For tenant-occupied property, the purchaser shall provide a tenant with written notice in accordance with RCW 61.24.060.

Seattle donation helps preserve wetlands near Crockett Lake

Alex O’Farrell and Stacey Donnell

Donnell, O’Farrell marry in Snohomish Stacey Donnell and Alex O’Farrell were married June 29, 2012, at The Farm at Swan’s Trail in Snohomish. Rev. Michael Carlson of Chandler, Ariz. officiated the ceremony. Stacey is the daughter of Clark and Joan Donnell of Oak Harbor. Alex is the son of Jim and Di O’Farrell of Kirkland, Wash. The bride is a 2004 gradu-

ate of Oak Harbor High School and a 2008 graduate of Seattle Pacific University. The groom is a 2004 graduate of Bellevue Christian High School and a 2008 graduate of Western Washington University. The couple enjoyed a romantic honeymoon on Maui and are now living in Ballard, Wash.

A Seattle resident who wanted to preserve some wetlands for hawks recently donated a 17-acre field to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, ensuring the permanent protection of a critical freshwater habitat in Puget Sound. The land was donated by Mary Bicknell, a long-time visitor to Whidbey Island. It complements the 92 adjacent wetland acres acquired in March by the Land Trust. Bicknell, who has a master’s degree in microbiology and is a retired University of Washington laboratory instructor, said she and her husband James were attracted to Whidbey because of its natural beauty and pristine environment. “We bought a property on the island with the hopes of retiring there one day. In fact, we spent several summers there,” Bicknell said. “I love

Whidbey Island, especially around Ebey’s Landing. It’s my favorite spot on Earth.” When the Bicknell’s retirement plans changed, they sold their property. But the desire to own a piece of the island remained strong in Mary Bicknell. “One day, while visiting Whidbey, I saw a ‘For Sale’ sign on a field across from Crockett Lake, where I had seen my first northern harrier hawk many years ago,” she said. “I had just inherited some money, and immediately bought the property. I decided that this field should always be for hawks.” According to Pat Powell, Land Trust executive director, the donation will help leverage a $968,000 federal wetlands grant the Land Trust secured from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The funding allows the Land Trust to acquire additional

The new addition to the Land Trust is to the east of Highway 20, across from Crockett lake. wetlands and uplands around Crockett Lake to ensure habitat protection for the migratory and other birds that rely on the wetland for food, refuge, breeding, and nesting. As an active member of the Washington Native Plant Society, Bicknell intended to restore the land to the condition that existed before it was used for pasture land at the turn of the last century. Now, she has turned that job over

to the Land Trust. “The Land Trust will be forever grateful to Mary for her vision to protect her land so that it would always be a haven for wildlife and native plants,” Powell said. “Crockett Lake is an Audubon Important Bird Area with 238 different birds species identified as using the area – a remarkable diversity,” Powell added.
