mid the work training farmers for a life in agriculture is a project that could be a boon to organic farmers on Whidbey Island.

The Greenbank Farm is home to an Agriculture Training Center that teaches farmers the ins-and-outs of the field.

As part of their studies, several students and teachers are developing varieties of organic seeds catered to thrive on Whidbey Island.

Sebastian Aguilar, training director, said there is a huge need for organic seeds in many varieties and in large quantities.

“In the organic farming, seeds are one of the last frontiers in the industry,” Aguilar said. Often organic farmers are left to use conventional seeds when organic counterparts aren’t available in the marketplace. Those varieties may not be as resistant to pests or the conditions of an organic farm.

Students are now going through a project that will take years to complete, examining varieties of produce that work on Whidbey and under organic farming conditions. Trainees

As the state budget process gets rolling, reductions on Whidbey’s ferry routes are being considered.

Washington State Ferries was asked by the governor’s office to come up with $5 million in budget cuts for the upcoming biennial budget.

Ferry officials announced their proposed reductions last week.

Officials are proposing to reduce two-boat ferry service to one-boat ferry service on the Port Townsendto-Coupeville route for four weeks in the spring and four weeks in the fall. They also propose eliminating late-night service on the Mukilteo-toCinton route.

David Moseley, Washington State Ferries assistant secretary, said the proposal focused on ideas that would have the least effect for riders.

“These are sailings that don’t have high ridership,” Moseley said Tuesday morning.

Reducing two-boat service on the Coupeville run would save the ferry system an estimated $486,000 while eliminating the 12:30 a.m. sailing from Clinton and the 1:05 a.m. sailing from Mukilteo would save $934,000, according to information from Washington State Ferries.

Despite the proposal, a prominent senator said the reductions won’t become a reality.

“It’s not going to happen as long as I’m chairman,” said State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, who heads the influential Senate Transportation Committee.

She said similar cuts were suggested two years ago, but those didn’t happen either.

“I told people we weren’t going to make cuts and we didn’t make cuts,” Haugen said.

She emphasized that she was instrumental in pushing through projects that improved the ferry system, most notably the construction of three 64-car vessels and the current construction of a 144-car vessel. Parts of those projects were built

by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders in Freeland.

Haugen warned that state transportation priorities could change if she’s no longer in the senate. The longtime Democratic Senator placed second in the August primary behind State Rep. Barbara Bailey, a Republican from Oak Harbor.

Haugen said the ferries need a stable source of funding and she has some ideas for the next legislative session.

Moseley said that the ferry system’s proposal affects

Museum fans protest cut as commissioners finalize budget

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The Island County Commissioners are on the verge of hammering out a working budget this week.

The last of series of workshops is expected to be held today and the board will then move forward with the formal adoption process of the 2013 budget, beginning with a public hearing next week.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 1, and will be held in the Commissioner’s Hearing Room at 1 NE Sixth Street in Coupeville.

This year’s budget process was easier than in recent years as large cuts were not required to stay in the black, but it wasn’t without its headaches. Department heads and elected officials collectively made $1.9 million in additional funding requests.

Initially, it appeared the board was going to have a hard time making everyone happy as the $21.7 million general fund — a discretionary pot of money — was expected to be largely static with revenues paralleling expenditures.

“They are impossible choices,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, chairwoman of the board. “It made it really hard because everybody has big needs.”

However, many of the supplemental budget requests will move forward, thanks to some last-minute wrangling of existing revenues and indirect costs of special revenue sources that provide non-discretionary funding.

In total, it provided nearly $500,000 for redistribution among the various departments that had requested additional revenues. Of the eight that asked for additional staffing — the priciest expenses — six are proposed under the draft budget to have their re-

quests either fully or partially funded.

Not everyone is cheering, however. The Island County Historical Society receives money annually from the county and the board has decided to reduce next year’s allocation by 66 percent — from $12,000 to $5,000.

“This presents a shortfall of devastating impact,” Island County Historical Society Executive Director Rick Castellano wrote in an email distributed Friday.

Museum supporters rallied to the cry and appealed to the board during its regular meeting on Monday.

“If we have to shut down the museum, it is not going to be like turning off a light switch and turning it back on,” said Georgia Gardner, a Coupeville resident who also serves as a Whidbey General Hospital Commissioner. “To try to get it back would be an almost insurmountable hurdle.”

Price Johnson said during the meeting that historical preservation is important but purse strings are particularly tight this year.

“My concern is that although I think it is appropriate for the county to help support (the museum), the ability to do so has to be based on the revenue stream,” Price Johnson said. “Dipping into the savings was to bridge the gap, but it is not sustainable.”

Others who aren’t thrilled by the draft budget include Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, though he’s not complaining.

Of the $1.9 requested from department heads, Brown asked for $1.4 million of it.

He was seeking funding to hire 10 additional patrol deputies and three more correctional officers along with purchasing eight new squad cars and the money to pay for the extra fuel and train-

ing that would accompany the new hires.

The board has agreed to fund one corrections officer at $65,000, and four new vehicles at $45,000 apiece.

“I don’t know if I can be happy about what I got, but I’m thankful it’s more than I have now,” the sheriff said.

While the $245,000 total amounts to the largest allocation of additional funding that will go to any department this year, Brown said it’s still far short of what he needs.

There are still a few last-minute decisions and variables that may affect the final budget.

One is a proposal by Island County Commissioner Angie Homola to give county employees their first cost of living increase in years. The board is, so far, undecided on the matter.

Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow declined to say whether there was money available for such an allocation, partially because the sheriff and corrections guilds are in contract arbitration.

“I don’t think it would be prudent to comment on that at this time,” she said.

Also undecided is funding requests for additional staffing in the planning department. Commissioner Kelly Emerson believes the department is overstaffed while Homola and Price Johnson support providing some help.

Finally, Marlow said she is worried about how reductions in federal and state funding and how the continuing downward slide of sales tax revenue on Whidbey Island might affect county coffers.

“Overall, I’m very concerned about revenues,” Marlow said.

NAS Whidbey Island celebrates 70 years

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is looking good for a 70-year-old.

A celebration was held Friday on the Seaplane Base to mark the air station’s 70th birthday. Commanding officer Capt. Jay Johnston presided over the ceremony in front of Simard Hall (Bldg.

12), the same place the base was commissioned Sept. 21, 1942.

“In early 1941, the 13th Naval District, which is known today as Navy Region Northwest, was tasked with finding a location for a base that could support both seaplanes and land-based airplanes,” said Johnston.

“Whidbey Island was chosen because of its favorable terrain and access to water.”

The attack on Pearl Harbor jolted America into action, Johnston said, and Whidbey Island served a

strategic role during the remainder of World War II. Originally commissioned as a temporary base, it was scheduled to be closed after the war. But the Navy needed a Northwest air station with long runways, so in 1949 it was decided to keep NAS Whidbey open as the only naval air station north of California, which still holds true today.

Aircraft have come and gone from NAS Whidbey over the years. Heavy attack squadrons in the 1950s were eventually replaced by electronic attack squadrons in the 1970s. A-3 Skywarrior jets were eventually replaced by EA-6B Prowlers; today those Prowlers still fly, although they are slowly being transitioned out to make way for the latest in electronic attack, the EA-18G Growlers.

“Today, forward is our future, and our future is bright,” said Johnston. “We

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Commanding Officer Capt. Jay Johnston welcomes those gathered Friday to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the base. Guests included the state’s historic preservation officer, Dr. Allyson Brooks and Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley. Cmdr. John Hakanson, NAS Whidbey Island Chaplain, gave the invocation and benediction. have the same strategic location, the same terrain, the same water access and wonderful community synergy.”

Johnston praised the city of Oak Harbor and Island County for their outstanding support of the base and for developing what he called “the best zoning practices in the nation.”

“Over the past 70 years, the city of Oak Harbor has partnered with NAS Whidbey in many ways,” said Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley, one of the guest speakers for the anniversary. “Our relationship with the base is special, it is

unique. We’re not just neighbors, we’re family.”

NAS Whidbey also earned high praise from another special guest, Dr. Allyson Brooks, the Washington State Historic Preservation Officer.

“This base has done an amazing job following the State Historic Preservation Act,” she said. “You inventoried the property and tried to preserve as much of the history as possible.”

Brooks said base officials worked with the state to determine which buildings were the most important historically and how to

handle any potential demolitions. She especially liked the fact that Simard Hall now houses the Naval Aviation History Center and the PBY Memorial Foundation.

“It’s fitting you’ve turned it into a place where people can follow history,” she said. “Keeping track of what you’ve done in the past, what you are doing in the present and what you will do in the future bridges history.”

Throughout the ceremony a formation of 42 sailors stood at the center of

the street in front of Simard Hall. Before they were dismissed and the ceremony concluded, Capt. Johnston praised the success of Team Whidbey, defined as both the base and the Oak Harbor community, over the past 70 years.

“We will strive to provide the same outstanding support for the next 70 years,” he said.

grant administrated through the state. If awarded, the grant will provide $150,000 in funding.

The grant will help the training center develop a regional seed system that will develop a network of “seedspeople” who will share knowledge and experiences, according to information provided by the training center.

The center hopes to share information with the Whidbey Island community. In addition to the workshops, Aguilar said the data collected will be posted on the center’s website, www.green bankfarm.biz.

Next year he hopes to continue the research, only on a larger scale. Students will also continue talking with local farmers about their needs and goals.

“We’re interested in finding other growers on the island interested in seed production,” Aguilar said.

Suspect was wanted in Jefferson County

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A detective with the Oak Harbor Police Department caught a sex offender who was allegedly dealing heroin and methamphetamine on Whidbey Island, according to court documents.

Detective Carl Seim, the department’s drug enforcement officer, had been searching Oak Harbor for 48-year-old Tyruss K. Thompson after learning that he was living in Oak Harbor and was wanted on a warrant out of Jefferson County for failure to register as a sex offender, according to Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner.

Thompson had been convicted of

the weekends on the FauntleroyVashon-Southworth route.

In all, the ferry system’s proposal to the governor’s office comprises $4.8 million in cuts.

Over the past several years, the ferry system reduced its budget by $40 million without reducing service, Moseley said.

The governor’s office is supposed to submit a proposal to the legislature in mid-December; Moseley, however, thinks whoever is elected governor in November will submit their own version to the legislature when he takes office.

child molestation in the third degree and was supposed to register with the Sheriff’s Office in his county of residence.

Seim spotted Thompson on Sept.

18 as he was standing next to his van on Midway Boulevard. He was with a 17-year-old girl.

Seim searched Thompson and found a large amount of cash and “numerous baggies of heroin and meth,” Gardner said. The drugs have a street value of of somewhere between $4,700 and $6,000, she said.

“I also know from law enforcement training and experience that drug dealers commonly trade drugs for sex and with Thompson dealing drugs and hanging out with a minor that he is a danger to other minors in the community,” Seim wrote in his report.

In addition, Gardner said

Thompson had four state Quest cards on him, which are given to people on public assistance. None of the cards belonged to him. Gardner claimed they are commonly traded for narcotics.

After Thompson was arrested, the police had his van towed to the police station. Seim looked through the van after obtaining a search warrant.

The detective allegedly found two plastic bags containing 2.1 grams of meth each, as well as marijuana, heroin and scales, Gardner said.

In addition, Seim found two “air pistols” that looked like real handguns, Gardner said.

The detective booked Thompson on suspicion of possessing heroin and meth with intent to sell.

An Island County Superior Court judge ordered him held on $100,000 bail.

Man allegedly assaulted while rescuing sister A 40-year-old Coupeville man is accused of shoving an 11-year-old girl to the ground and then choking her brother who came to her defense, court documents state.

Prosecutors charged Corey Buzard in Island County Superior Court Aug. 20 with second-degree assault and fourth-degree assault.

According to a report by Deputy Leif Haugen with the Island County Sheriff’s Office, Buzard got into a fight with the 11-year-old girl on the night of Aug.

15. She pushed him away when he “got into her face,” the report states. In response, he allegedly used both hands to push her to the floor.

The girl’s 26-year-old brother tried to intervene, but the two men ended up fighting.

Buzard allegedly started choking him until the younger man had trouble breathing, the report states.

The report indicates that both men had been drinking beer.

League forums start next week The League of Woman Voters of Whidbey Island will begin a series of political forums next week for the November general elections.

And like those held during the August primary election, they will be conducted with several rule changes.

The main difference is that questions will not be taken from the crowd.

The idea is to eliminate the possibility of grandstanding or subjecting candidates to “planted” questions from the audience that are meant to benefit a single person.

Instead, all questions have been penned by league members.

“We know our members are involved and informed citizens; that’s why they belong to the League,” Barbara Seitle, a member of the forum committee and a past league state president, said in a recent news release.

“We want to respect their knowledge and experience and present their questions in a planned, thoughtful manner,” she wrote.

Another change allows candidates to respond to other candidates or clarify their own previous statements. Each is provided

with a limited number of “challenge” cards, which can be used at any time.

The first forum will feature candidates vying in Island County and state races and begins at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 4, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge, 155 NE Ernst St., in Oak Harbor.

Participants will include candidates for state Senate, state Legislature Positions 1 and 2 and County Commissioner Districts 1 and 2.

A forum focused on three state initiatives and one referendum are also scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 7. The first begins at 1:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Freeland and the second at 6:30 p.m. at the Elks Lodge in Oak Harbor.

The feature initiatives include: I-1185 concerning tax and fee increases by state government, I-1240 for the creation of a public charter school system, and I-502 for the legalization of marijuana. Referendum 74, concerning the legalization of same-sex marriage will also be discussed.

For more information, call Seitle at 360-221-3792.

News in Brief City encourages conservation during shutdown A shutdown at the Anacortes Water Treatment Plant Friday shouldn’t affect water customers in Oak Harbor, but officials are urging residents to conserve.

The Anacortes Water Treatment Plant has scheduled a complete shutdown of the drinking water treatment plant and the supply of water to the city of Oak Harbor’s transmission system on Friday, Sept. 28 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The reason for the shutdown is because Puget Sound Energy will be shutting down all electrical power service to the water plant to perform maintenance.

Anacortes owns and operates the water treatment plant on the Skagit River near Mount Vernon. The city of Oak Harbor and the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station contract with Anacortes for water, which travels through miles of pipes to get to the island.

The city of Oak Harbor receives water from the city of Anacortes water. The Oak Harbor Water Division will be prepared for this shutdown with all reservoirs filled and standby wells ready, if needed. Oak Harbor water custom-

However, due to the length of the shutdown, customers are encouraged to conserve water.

The informational water signs will be at “Stage 1” indicating voluntary water conservation.

If you have any questions, contact the city of Oak Harbor at 279-4500.

Flights resume at Outlying Field near Coupeville Training flights at Outlying Field near Coupeville are resuming after several weeks of inactivity.

The airstrip had been closed in August to allow work crews to replace several concrete slabs on the runway, according to a news release from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Now that the construction project is complete, air crews for the EA-18G Growler and EA-6B Prowler will continue their field carrier landing practice.

In operation since 1942, Outlying Field is critical to

jet pilots as they prepare for aircraft carrier qualifications and deployments around the world, according to the news release.

Local students benefit from annual breakfast The biggest breakfast of the year for Oak Harbor students has little to do with the bacon, eggs and coffee served.

Oak Harbor Educational Foundation’s annual “Bud Skinner Breakfast for Education” will be held from 7 to 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9 at the Elks Lodge in Oak Harbor.

This early-morning fundraiser supports OHEF grants issued to Oak Harbor teachers to provide special handson learning opportunities for students. These grants have funded field research about wetlands ecology, student interviews of Oak Harbor seniors with the results compiled and printed as a book, an elementary flag troupe, building robots and landscape/garden projects.

Last year, more than 2,100 students took part in OHEFfunded hands-on learning

projects. The breakfast will feature students showing posters and providing demonstrations of the grant-funded projects accomplished last year.

IN OUR OPINION

Emerson needs to provide details

I

sland County Commissioner Kelly Emerson, a selfdescribed tea party Republican, has repeatedly claimed that the county has money in the budget to finance lawand-justice departments to the level officials in those offices believe is necessary. The sheriff alone asked for a $1.4 million increase in his budget for 2013.

The county’s Law and Justice Council, which is made up of a wide range of officials and citizens, studied the issue of underfunding, found there is a need and recommended that the county commissioners ask voters to pass a special sales tax to fund cops and courts.

Emerson voted against the recommendation, arguing that the money is there if her fellow commissioners will just stop spending tax dollars on programs that aren’t necessary. The other two commissioners, both Democrats, also voted against the proposal, citing a confusing mix of concerns, including the timing of a ballot measure.

Emerson has implied that the planning department receives an unfair share of the general fund and suggested turning the juvenile detention facility into an adult jail that can rent out cells to other jurisdictions. Yet we haven’t heard anything truly comprehensive. After Emerson was first elected, she said she needed time to learn before getting specific about the budget. Fair enough, but it’s been two years and the time is ripe. The budget is being written right now.

We urge Commissioner Emerson to write her own version of the general fund budget. In the last four years, we’ve heard over and over again from the other commissioners and department heads that there’s no more blood left in the proverbial turnip to squeeze. Yet many in the community want to hear another perspective and it’s one that Emerson can offer.

Some may argue that it’s a useless exercise since she’s bound to be outvoted on the board. We disagree. A specific proposal would undoubtedly spur a community dialogue about the priorities of government in a very precise way, in contrast to the usual platitudinal arguments. What exact positions should be cut? What programs should go away? Does the sheriff really need an extra $1.4 million?

In addition, it would be instructive to know what the four candidates for the two county commissioners would think about such a budget. The two candidates who win in November will be writing the budget in the future.

Letters to the editor In response

It’s about location, location, location When my wife and I moved to this island, we quickly became aware of traditional jet flight patterns. Local wisdom and compulsory Realtor disclosures schooled us about the “sound of freedom,” with OLF especially noted as an existing and integral part of the Navy mission. And so, as many letters to the editor over the years have suggested, we acted upon that information.

During the past three-plus decades we have researched, consulted noise maps, signed noise disclosure documents,

purchased, built and lived on property where flyovers very rarely occurred. In the last few years, things have changed.

With the transition to new planes and new base leadership, our careful choice of home site is no longer out of flight patterns. OLF is still a given, if louder, necessity.

But, now flights routinely wander/fly over traditionally respected areas. This cavalier assumption of air space trumps all land zoning, noise maps and planning, and jeopardizes stable land values.

All-weather jet does not have to mean all-island.

My contacts with the base have been met with politeness and repeated encouragement to “keep calling…”

Learn to enjoy sound of freedom In response to Caralyn Haglund’s letter that the Navy should act like guests to Whidbey Island.

I am not sure where Ms. Haglund gets her information, but as a resident of Oak Harbor for the last 10 years and whose husband is currently active duty military, I most certainly pay my taxes, I do not consider myself or

my family “guests” of this town, I consider myself, as well as all the other military in this town, part of the community.

While you are complaining that you are not getting enough sleep because of flying, I am not sleeping because my husband is currently serving six months overseas fighting for your freedom. I am sorry but you can’t have it all, so maybe instead of complaining about your lack of sleep and lack of deck usage, you should consider thanking the Navy and all its service members for all they do for this town and our country, and maybe learn to enjoy the “sound of freedom.”

Letters to the editor Voters’ guide was partisan Last week included in our local paper was a handy “2012 Informed Voter Guide.” But in small letters was “Paid Advertisement” and it was published by The Freedom Foundation. For those who are not civics geeks, The Freedom Foundation is a very conservative group with unknown financing.

They often work with the Cato Institute — a libertarian Koch brothers’ funded right-wing think tank. The Koch brothers (each worth $20 billion) are two very conservative billionaires who fund right wing causes and lobbying efforts. Most of their money comes from oil, gas and coal — but they own many other businesses.

Far from just being “climate change skeptics,” they are involved in many issues regarding regulations and taxes. Thanks to the Supreme Courts’ Citizens United decision, we may never know who funds these types of “guides.” They have a clear agenda and you should keep that in mind when presented with something that tries to look like a balanced tool.

They are far from nonpartisan or balanced.

Jill Johnson makes things happen I had the pleasure of working for Jill Johnson at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce for three years, and I’d like to share my

first-hand knowledge of the skills and characteristics that make her an excellent choice for Island County commissioner.

As a young person learning about the business world, I was always impressed by Jill’s ability to solve problems with creativity. In serving a group of people with widespread interests, we were continually presented with challenges to which I saw no good solution. Jill would not only find an answer to the problem, but would create a solution that exceeded the expectations of those who came to her for help. She quickly learned to balance the very different needs of small and large business owners, nonprofit organizations, tourists and local residents, often creating partnerships that allowed different groups to work together for a common goal. Simply put, Jill Johnson makes things happen.

Jill taught me, both directly and through my own observation, to be a leader. She identifies the goal, reviews every possible solution, dedicates herself to accomplishing the task at hand, and both leads and enables her associates to succeed. She has the ability to concentrate the efforts of a group of people and direct their efforts to achieve. She understands what it takes to build a strong community — cooperation between local government, businesses and individual residents.

Above all, Jill Johnson truly cares. She is passionate about Island County — her home. She cares about the success of every single person that she meets, and she does everything in her power to allow those around her to reach their full potential.

I have moved on from my time at the Chamber of

Commerce, but I still call upon my experience there to help me in my career and in my personal life. Jill brought out the best in me, and I know that she will bring out the best in Island County.

Fund NASA with wasted funds Mega-congrats to NASA for its spectacular success on the latest Mars landing.

It shows there is still talent and ability in the U.S. NASA is the extreme rarity in government bureaus that actually have a positive return on investment.

NASA and its partners have improved the human condition beyond comprehension, have contributed major improvements to every aspect of life, and yet, the world’s most intelligent and articulate human has defunded it, outsourced all the jobs and expertise to Russia, China, India, etc. and has told NASA to be an outreach facility to Islam. Let’s see, a 21st century marvel is supposed to outreach to a ninth century ideology that hasn’t contributed anything significant in over a millennium. Yup, sounds like progressive thinking to me.

We need to restart NASA, clean up the problems, set some short and long term goals, fund it better than before by taking money from government failures (war on poverty, war on drugs, Deptartment of Energy, Deptartment of Agriculture, Deptartment of Education, Deptartment of Commerce, ad infinitum) and put it in an agency of proven supersonic human advancement (pun intended).

The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) is aware of concerns Whidbey Island well owners have expressed about impacts on their water supply from the U.S. Navy’s irrigation of the Gallery Golf Course.

We’d like to thank the Whidbey NewsTimes for this opportunity to address those concerns and explain the steps we have taken to ensure that private wells are not impacted by the Navy well.

Ecology is authorized by the state legislature to manage Washington water resources for

By Maia Bellon the benefit of all of its citizens. We recognize that Whidbey residents have a deep appreciation of what a precious resource good, clean water is on an island where the only source of water is the rain that soaks into the ground. Through our partnership with Island County, we have studied groundwater supplies for many years and continue to carefully monitor water in order to effectively manage the limited water supply on Whidbey and Camano islands. We are committed to ensuring water is wisely allocated and used efficiently in Island County.

Ecology approved a water right permit for the U.S. Navy to irrigate the Gallery Golf Course from a well in the summer of 2011.

The permit requires the Navy to monitor water levels in its well and measure the amount of water used. The Navy, in fact, is doing more frequent monitoring than what is required under the permit, by measuring each week, and is providing this information to Ecology each month. Ecology, in turn, has made this information available to the public through Island County’s website.

While the data collected over the summer months show slightly more decline in water levels than a computer model predicted, we have received no reports of water levels dropping precipitously in private wells as a result of pumping from the Navy’s well.

We know any decline in water levels is alarming to property owners and water users who rely on wells neighboring the Navy’s golf course. However, we are confident that the water level reductions occurring in wells near the golf course are within an acceptable range and show a fairly typical seasonal fluctuation.

During the dry summer months when it doesn’t rain, it is typical for water levels in wells drawing from underground aquifers to decline primarily due to increased water use. When the rain returns in the winter and wells pump less, water levels rise. The computer model run by the consultant for the Navy only predicted the well “drawdown” or decline in water levels that would result directly from pumping the Navy’s Gallery Golf Course well. The model did not account for total drawdown in neighboring wells. Total drawdown is a combination of the golf course well drawdown added to the combined effects of all the drawdown caused by pumping all the wells in the aquifer. Therefore, we do expect to see more effect than the computer model predicted in real measurements.

For instance, the computer model predicted the well nearest to the Gallery Golf Course well would drop about 3.5 feet. At

the end of August, the water level in this well had dropped about six feet. This well still has about 63 feet of available drawdown before impairment would occur. The greatest amount of drawdown typically occurs early on, and then flattens out through time.

The drawdown curve for the aquifer now appears to have flattened out.

I want to emphasize that there is a lot of water available in the aquifer and we haven’t seen or heard of any instances where homeowners are being impaired from using their own wells. There have also been concerns about sea water intrusion into the fresh water aquifers, but this is an issue we constantly monitor in Island County. Although the Navy well and the neighboring wells tap a common aquifer, hydrological conditions are such that the risk of sea water intrusion is low.

Nevertheless, we are actively monitoring the Navy’s permit and can order the Navy to reduce or stop pumping if data indicate the withdrawal is unsustainable. We would expect full cooperation from the Navy who has expressed a desire to be a good neighbor to all well owners near the golf course.

Ecology and Island County are watching out for impairment to the wells drawing groundwater from the same aquifer being tapped by the Gallery Golf Course well. We will be monitoring the aquifer year-round to determine the timing and recoverability of the aquifer before the next pumping season.

This will continue throughout the permit stage of the water right to help determine the sustainability of the aquifer before a final water right certificate is issued.

We also want to emphasize that water from the Navy’s Gallery Golf Course well cannot be used for any other purpose than irrigating the golf course. Water pumped from the golf course well goes to a pond for temporary storage and then is pumped from the pond to irrigate the golf course. The water right for the Gallery Golf Course was specifically issued only for irrigation of 85 acres of the golf course, and does not allow water to be used for any other purpose.

The Navy does not have the legal authority or the infrastructure to transport the water elsewhere on base.

Some island residents have suggested that Ecology inform them of all water right applications beyond a certain quantity. Ecology is willing to work with the Island County Water Resources Advisory Committee and Island County to provide additional public notification of pending applications beyond what is required by law. From now on, Ecology will be notifying Island County of all new water right applications that are filed in the county.

In our role as manager of the state’s water resources, we want you to know that we are keeping a close eye on the Navy’s water use and invite Whidbey residents to call us if you have questions about how the golf course irrigation may be affecting your well. Inquiries should go to Jacque Klug of Ecology’s Northwest office at 425-649-7270.

Maia Bellon is the manager of the Water Resources Program at the Washington Department of Ecology.

Woman sentenced for knife attack A 52-year-old Freeland woman was sentenced to jail for kicking in a couple’s door in the middle of the night and attacking a woman with a knife.

Frances Herman pleaded guilty to third-degree assault in Island County Superior Court Aug. 27 as part of a plea bargain. The judge sentenced her to 75 days in jail and ordered her to pay $1,217 in fines and fees.

Herman broke into an Oak Harbor home in the early morning of June 25 and started fighting with a woman who lives there;

Herman was armed with a knife at the time. The woman’s husband called 911.

The resident said Herman is the mother of one of her friends and was apparently looking for her daughter, who wasn’t in the residence.

Herman dragged the woman across the yard until the victim was able to get the weapon away from her. The victim suffered a bruise from being thrown to the ground and scratches on her hand.

The deputy’s report states that Herman’s behavior has been escalating recently.

Man who stabbed parents gets more than eight years

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 39-year-old Freeland man who stabbed his parents with a knife in the midst of a mental health crisis was sentenced to prison during a melancholy hearing in Island County Superior Court Monday.

Judge Vickie Churchill called a plea bargain the “best resolution” before sentencing Sean P. DeMerchant to eight and a half years in prison, which was the recommendation from both the prosecution and defense. He pleaded guilty to attempted assault in the second degree and assault in the second degree in August.

DeMerchant spoke briefly just before being sentenced.

“Mom, dad, I love you,” he said. “I’m sorry about everything that has happened.”

DeMerchant’s mother, who was most seriously injured in the October 2011 attack, spoke on her son’s behalf.

She said knew DeMerchant was upset with a Coupeville deputy and with the hospital on the night of the assault, but she was completely shocked by the attack.

“He really wanted to get mental help and he didn’t get it at the hospital,” the 67-year-

old woman said.

DeMerchant’s attorney, Peter Simpson of Coupeville, said DeMerchant was in such a high degree of emotional stress that he didn’t realize what he was doing until it was too late. He said his mother described the shocked look on his face when he came to the realization of what he had done and immediately helped his parents by applying pressure to their wounds. His mother wrote in her victim impact statement that his first aid saved her from bleeding to death.

“We are not dealing with someone who is a violent person,” Simpson said, describing DeMerchant’s “slow decline into Asberger’s and mental illness.”

Simpson said DeMerchant went to the hospital prior to the attack; he had tried to commit suicide by overdosing on pills and tequila and wanted help. But he was discharged that night “in a volatile state of mind” because of errors made by hospital staff, Simpson alleged.

Records show that DeMerchant wasn’t taking his medication correctly prior to the attacks. Simpson said his client will receive mental health treatment in prison and will be supervised by the

The Department of Corrections completed a risk assessment prior to the sentencing; Simpson said they found that DeMerchant is “low risk.”

According to the Department of Corrections report, DeMerchant is highly intelligent and has a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Tennessee.

He worked as a software designer in Chicago until he was fired after he stopped going to work because of debilitating depression.

DeMerchant moved into his parent’s home in Freeland.

He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Asberger’s syndrome.

On the day of the assaults, the trouble started after DeMerchant got into a fight

with his brother over football on TV. His behavior escalated so much that his parents called 911; when he found out, he pulled the phone lines from the wall and smashed his mom’s cell phone. Then he overdosed on pills and tequila, court documents state.

DeMerchant voluntarily went to the hospital, but then was discharged that night and had a run-in with the police. His parents picked him up from Coupeville and brought him home.

He suddenly attacked his mother in the kitchen, stabbing her in the back and slashing her throat.

His father came to help and DeMerchant stabbed him in the back before the older man was able to wrestle away the knife. The mother and father ran into their bedroom.

DeMerchant’s father held the door to keep him out while his mother dialed 911.

DeMerchant broke a hole in the door with a meat tenderizing mallet and forced his way into the bedroom. His father was able to get the mallet away from him. Then DeMerchant and his parents realized the extent of the injuries; he applied pressure to the wounds until deputies arrived.

DeMerchant’s mother had to be airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment due to the extent of her neck injury, the Department of Corrections report states.

Michael C. Fix be held at the Oak Harbor Church of Christ located at 1000 NE Koetje St on Oct. 6, 2012 at 3:00 pm for family and friends. A private interment will take place at Tahoma National Cemetery.

Wildcats ground ‘Gulls in Wesco 3A North opener

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Using a devastating ground game and stingy defense, the Oak Harbor High School football team opened Wesco 3A North play with a 47-7 win over visiting Everett Friday.

The Wildcats trampled the Seagulls for 428 rushing yards on 38 carries, an 11.3yard average per run.

The Oak Harbor defense was as dominating, limiting Everett (0-1, 0-4) to 60 yards on the ground and harassing Seagull quarterback Nolan Rogge into an 8-for-27 day for only 91 yards, two interceptions and four sacks. Thirty of those yards came on the game’s next-to-last play when Everett scored against the Wildcat reserves.

With touchdown runs of 45 and 28 yards, Isaiah Trower led Oak Harbor with 151 yards on only eight carries. Fred Webster picked up 93 yards and a TD on eight rushes. In all, 10 Wildcats carried the ball and five scored.

Ian Kolste hit three of 10 passes for 37 yards.

It didn’t take long for Oak Harbor to take control.

Webster rumbled 42 yards to the 10 on the game’s fourth play, then Sheyenne Sams scored from there. Frank Grecco kicked the point after.

On Everett’s first possession, JoJo Webster picked off Rogge, and two plays later Trower zipped in from 45 yards out.

Early in the second quarter, a bad snap on an Everett punt attempt gave Oak Harbor the ball at the Seagull 15. That led to Julian Faralan’s 6-yard score. Grecco kicked his third PAT and Oak Harbor led 21-0.

The defense got in on the scoring when Jon Lanningham scooped up an Everett fumble and returned it 14 yards for a touchdown.

Mark Johnston’s PAT kick was partially blocked.

After the Seagulls failed to convert on fourth down near midfield, Kolste ran for 10 yards. A penalty tacked on 15 yards, then Trower traveled the final 28. Again, the PAT was blocked, and Oak Harbor led at the break 33-0.

An interception by Mike Maletto set up the next Oak Harbor score. Kolste hit JoJo

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

In a familiar sight from Friday night, Oak Harbor’s Tyler Adamson, left, and Jeremy Foster put the squeeze on an Everett runner. The Wildcats had four sacks and held the Seagulls to 60 yards rushing.

Webster for 18 yards, then Fred Webster took two carries to reach the end zone.

prep roundup Long-range attack sinks Coupeville Big scoring plays by Nooksack Valley led to a big loss for the Coupeville High School football team as the Wolves fell 55-15 Friday at Mickey Clark Field.

The Pioneers (3-1) scored six touchdowns from 25-plus yards to hand the Wolves their fourth straight defeat.

The first five scores came on long pass plays, but not all were long throws. Coupeville coach Tony Maggio said most were long runs after the catch.

He said, “We have got to do a better job of tackling in the secondary. We have to get it fixed or it will be a long year.”

The Wolves had opportunities early but couldn’t cash in.

After Nooksack Valley scored its first touchdown on a 26yard pass and missed its extra point, Coupeville responded with a nice drive that ended with a short TD run by Gunnar Langvold. Josh Bayne’s successful PAT put the Wolves up 7-6.

The Pioneers then scored on a 57-yard pass. On the following kick off, Coupeville had a long return but fumbled at the end of

the run and the Pioneers recovered. Nooksack Valley turned the Coupeville mistake into another score, a pass play from 35 yards.

The Wolves came right back and drove to the Pioneer 2-yard line but dropped a pass in the end zone. That piece of bad luck gave the momentum to the Pioneers, and the Whatcom County team rolled to a 35-7 halftime lead.

Jake Tumblin scored on a 25yard run late in the game for the Wolves’ other touchdown.

Bayne passed to Wade Shaef for the two-point conversion.

Coupeville played shorthanded again; this time six starters missed the game because of illness, injury or disciplinary reasons, according to Maggio.

Maggio said, “I can’t shake not getting my team together…We have yet to have a full roster.”

Nooksack collected almost 600 yards of offense, with 323 coming through the air by hitting 13 of 15 passes. Nearly 200 of the passing yards came on five touchdown plays.

Maggio did not have Coupeville’s statistics when reporting but said the Wolves rushed for over 200 yards.

Johnston’s kick made it 40-0.

Coupeville plays Orcas Island at home at 5 p.m. Friday.

Wildcat tennis team wins 2 in singles The Oak Harbor tennis team picked up straight-set wins in two singles matches, but that was it in a 5-2 nonleague loss at Meadowdale Monday.

David Kusnick won 6-3, 7-5 in second singles and Harrison Miller took fourth singles 6-1, 6-3.

Coach Horace Mells said Kusnick won “with good defense and offensive net play” and Miller was successful with a “well-balanced, all-around game and good serving.”

He added, “The rest of the team, for the most part, played some of their best tennis but was simply out matched.”

Oak Harbor (1-3, 2-7) goes to Glacier Peak (6-3) for a nonleague match at 3:30 p.m. today.

Other results against Meadowdale (4-5): Singles: 1, William Southard lost 1-6, 0-6; 3, Carter Saar lost 3-6, 5-7.

Doubles: 1, Casiano Atienza/ Antonio Unpingco lost 0-6, 0-6; 2, Tom Dale/Jacob Nelson lost 3-6, 0-6; 3, Jozef Mendoza/Sean Kelley lost 0-6, 2-6.

went 64 yards for the final Wildcat TD. Carries by Gage Eccleston, Dejon Devroe and

Bernard Deguzman, who had a 27-yard run, took it to the 2 where Tim Davidson scored.

About the only negative for the Oak Harbor offense was three lost fumbles. Coach Turner said, “We need to clean that up.”

Defensively, 23 different Wildcats recorded tackles, led by Lanningham’s seven.

Rhys Matilla, Jeremy Foster and C.J. Shavers had sacks, and Shavers and Lanningham teamed for another.

Shavers, Lanningham, Foster and Tyler Adamson each had two tackles for losses; Devroe, Anthony Alexander and Matilla had one each.

Turner called the win a “big-time confidence builder” after last week’s loss to Lake Stevens.

Now Oak Harbor (1-0, 3-1) goes to Stanwood (0-1, 2-2) at 7 p.m. Friday.

After two impressive wins to open the season, the Spartans have suffered two perplexing losses.

Turner said, “We will prepare like we are playing the Stanwood from the first two weeks.”

Coupeville tennis team tops Friday Harbor, U-Prep Winning nine of 10 individual matches, the Coupeville High School tennis team swept its way to a pair of victories this weekend.

The Wolves blanked rival Friday Harbor 5-0 on the road Friday, then stopped visiting University Prep’s junior varsity team 4-1 Saturday.

The wins capped a four-match week in which the Wolves (3-2) won three. Coupeville journeys to South Whidbey (4-4) for a 3 p.m. match today.

Coupeville coach Ken Stange said Friday Harbor is “still trying to put together a full team” and fielded only six players, two with experience.

He added, “Each matchup was set for us to win from the get go.

All the boys had to do was execute the basics: consistency, depth and placement. They all did what they were supposed to do. I was especially proud that my boys didn’t take the easy opportunity to brag or show off. They were businesslike and were gracious winners.”

Stange said the atmosphere for

Saturday’s win over University Prep was similar: “It was pretty businesslike…Just like against Friday Harbor, the boys went out and did what they needed to do.”

Friday Harbor results: Singles: 1, Nathan Lamb won 6-1, 6-0; 2, Aaron Curtin won 6-3, 6-0.

Doubles: 1, Ben Wehrman/Jason Knoll won 6-3, 6-0; 2, Brian Norris/ Brandon Kelley won 6-2, 6-1; 3, Ben Etzell/Sebastian Davis won by default.

Exhibition doubles matches: Etzell/Davis won 6-0; Kyle Bodamer/ Jake McCormick lost 6-2; Konrad Borden/Stephen Edwards lost 6-1; Shane Squire/Jared Helmstadter won 6-1; Cameron Boyd-Eck/Loren Nelson lost 6-2; Zane Bundy/Connor McCormick lost 6-1.

University Prep results: Singles: 1, Lamb won 8-3; 2, Aaron Curtin won 8-2.

Doubles: 1, Wehrman/Knoll lost 8-6; 2, Kelley/Norris won 8-2; 3, Etzell/Davis won 8-2.

Cascade slips by Oak Harbor in battle of unbeaten swim teams

Wolves 11th in tourney The Coupeville volleyball team placed 11th in the South Whidbey Volleyball Tournament Saturday.

Coach Toni Crebbin used the tournament to experiment with different lineups and to give “everyone lots of playing time.”

The Wolves placed third in pool play, falling to Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) in the first match. Next the Wolves played “two strong games” in beating Friday Harbor, Crebbin said, and then played well but lost to Cascade.

Against other third-place pool teams, the Wolves fell to Nooksack Valley, winning one of three sets, then beat Shoreline Christian “fairly easily,” Crebbin said.

Coupeville (1-4, 2-4) hosts King’s (5-0) at 7 p.m. Thursday.

The Cascade swim team nipped Oak Harbor in four individual races and then nipped the Wildcats 88-82 in team scoring to win the battle of two undefeated teams Monday at John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

The 4A Bruins (6-0) won four events by a half second or less and nine of the 11 events to overcome 3A Oak Harbor’s (6-1) depth.

Coach Amy Merkley said, “It’s tough when you just get out-touched at the end.”

The Wildcats did earn four state-qualifying times. Two came from Emily Huffer, who placed second in the 200-meter freestyle (2:11.52) and 100 butterfly (1:04.58).

The others came in the 200 medley and

ell-known songs, the realistic feel of the vaudeville-burlesque era and seeing faces from the community on stage combine in the Broadway show “Gypsy,” opening at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 at the Whidbey Playhouse.

As a child, Louise, played by Megan LeMay, performs as a backup “newsboy” dancer in her sister, June’s, vaudeville act. Quiet Louise can’t compete with her sunny, blonde sister, played by Ella Langrock, in the eyes of their overbearing mother, Mama Rose, played by Heather Good.

Mama Rose powers the show, with her dreams of stardom for Baby June and inattentiveness to Louise. Good’s singing voice is the only sweet aspect to the otherwise thorny go-getter.

Never knowing their true ages or attending school, the sisters grow up flitting from audition to audition while Mama Rose manipulates them like puppets. When she meets retired agent Herbie, played

by Joel Green, she traps him under her spell as well.

Then an older June, played by Alora Caldwell, has enough of her mother and elopes with one of her backup newsboys, who are played

by Mike Garon, Patrick Punch and Lance Garon. When it seems like everything is crashing down for Mama Rose, she realizes she has

“Gypsy” runs Sept. 28-Oct. 21.

Shows are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

Louise, played by Shantel Porter, dances with Tulsa, played by Mike Garon, in the Whidbey Playhouse production of “Gypsy.” one path left to walk: her forgotten daughter Louise, played by Shantel Porter. Mama Rose decides to make her a star instead.

Eager to please, Louise practices her sister’s vaudeville act, until an accidental booking in a burlesque house changes her life. Despite Mama Rose’s disgust with burlesque and the dancers, played

by Sheila Terry, Amy Garrett and Debbie Blasé, when the opportunity arises for Louise to take center stage as the star stripper, Mama

Rose thrusts Louise into the spotlight against her will, throwing Louise into her future as the most famous burlesque dancer of all time, Gypsy Rose Lee. “It was fun!” Good said of playing Mama Rose. “It was hard. There are not a lot of redeeming qualities to Mama Rose.”

This is Good’s second show at the Playhouse after she moved from Florida earlier this year.

People should come to the show just to hear Good sing, Porter said.

With well-known songs like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Let Me Entertain You,” the audience can enjoy catchy tunes performed by local talent.

Playing Gypsy Rose Lee, Porter grows from a timid teen to a confident star, and the change is made obvious through Porter’s acting.

“Gypsy” is her fourth show at the Playhouse but the Oak Harbor native started doing shows 25 years ago. In her first show, she acted with her now fiance, who Porter said was supportive as she explored the role of Gypsy Rose Lee. “I have had to step out of my comfort zone. It has been quite a growing experience for me,” Porter said.

While acting always requires becoming someone else, “This is really being somebody I’m not,” Porter laughed.

LAST WEEK!

A small crowd gathered at the POW/MIA Sentinel Memorial Fountain on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base Friday to honor more than 83,000 U.S. servicemen and women still missing in action from conflicts dating back to World War II. More than 100 members of the Patriot Guard Riders roared up the hill on motorcycles before the ceremony began, having participated in a road rally in honor of National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Several of them stood in formation with flags during the ceremony. A light drizzle gave way to a light mist, eventually dissipating as the low-hanging clouds lightened as the service went on.

The man who organized the event, Cmdr. Brian Danielson, was called away for duty so Cmdr. Lee Jackson, with Electronic Attack Wing Pacific (CVWP) stepped in to read Danielson’s remarks.

“This day means many things to many people,” read Jackson, listing off the numbers of people still missing from World War II, Korea, the

“Each of these numbers represents a person and a family waiting to welcome their loved ones home,” said Jackson, reminding everyone to remember Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who has been a prisoner of war since June 30, 2009, when he was captured in Afghanistan by members of the Haqqani network.

“This may be the only welcome home some of these people will get,” Jackson said.

NJROTC members raised the POW/MIA flag and an NAS Whidbey Honor Guard performed a 21 gun salute.

“Taps” was played by members of the Oak Harbor High School Band. A closing benediction by Cmdr. Daniel Link brought the quiet, thoughtful memorial service to an end.

“As we speak, members of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command spend months away from their families as they continue their work to locate our missing, work that will continue until they are home,” Jackson said.

The work and the commitment of the Patriot Guard Riders was also acknowledged.

“These motorcycles, the sound of their pipes perhaps less intrusive than the sound of aircraft engines we’ve read so much about in the local newspaper lately, are also the sound of freedom,” said Jackson. “It reminds us all that we honor our contract with soldiers.”

Gypsy CONTINUED FROM A11 Porter’s favorite part about “Gypsy” is that it’s a true story.

“Gypsy Rose Lee was somebody who was born and raised in our backyard in Seattle and I think a lot of people in our community will know the story of Gypsy Rose Lee,” Porter said.

Medical emergencies caused the show to temporarily lose two directors. Rusty Hendrix filled in as temporary director and thanked the Playhouse board of directors for their volunteer work to help the show go on.

“Because of course we are all family here,” Hendrix said.

“I love that ‘Gypsy’s’ become a family.”

Despite all the repetitive, challenging rehearsals, Hendrix said none of the actors or volunteers fussed.

“They do it again and again with a smile.”

Building relationships is one of Porter’s favorite parts of acting at the Playhouse.

“A lot of the people in the Playhouse are regular people

Young Louise, played by Megan LeMay, can’t compete with her sister, Baby June, played by Ella Langrock, in the eyes of their mother, Mama Rose, played by Heather Good. so you do build relationships with them and it makes you more comfortable on stage when you know the people you’re performing with,” Porter said.

This family has members of all ages. The show features seven children, ages 7

to 14, high school students and adults.

“The kids that are up there — and there’s a lot up there — are so excited. Most have never been in a show,” Hendrix said, adding that the audience is sure to see their enthusiasm and smile.

“And the big kids are great, too,” Hendrix laughed.

Other children in the show are Miya Sanchez, Landon Hendrix, Alex Felger and Source Green. Adult actors include Matt Montoya, Allen Waite, Hector Powell, Katie McClimans, Uma Bernardo, Gabriella Szivos and Joseph Morgan.

Debbie Wilson, Betty Glein’s daughter, tries out a new bench dedicated to Glein, along with Glein’s great-grandchildren Allison and Jake.

A bench dedicated to longtime YMCA board member Betty Glein was unveiled in a brief ceremony Thursday

evening.

Glein died last year after a battle with cancer.

“I knew Betty for a long time. She was a good mentor for me when I took this job 22 years ago,” said YMCA Executive Director Major “Butch” Laurion. “This is a loss to all of us and we wanted to put something out front to honor her.”

family and friends from the Navy Wives Club of America were on hand for the grand unveiling, performed by three of Glein’s children, Dave, Doug and Debbie, and her two great-grandchildren, Jake and Allison.

“We all loved her,” said board member Doug Palko.

“Thank you for sharing her with us.”

“She was an incredible woman,” said Doug Glein.

“She loved people and she taught us to love people, even when they’re unloveable.

“She recognized that she was just a small piece of something larger,” he continued.

“This is an incredible tribute to Mom.” Betty Glein, longtime member and president of the NWCA branch 150, would have appreciated the gesture, said friends, who took a few moments to remember her sense of humor.

“We all have to come and take turns sitting on Betty’s lap,” grinned NWCA member Barb Mann.

Oak Harbor student earns ‘Beans for Brains’ award For her outstanding creative talents in tandem with her academic achievements, Jill Eelkema, from Oak Harbor, has been chosen as one of the five recipients of the 2012-2013 Beans For Brains

Scholarship, a merit-based award that takes into consideration GPA, extracurricular activities and an essay, as well as the knitting or crocheting artistic abilities of applicants.

Through the generous

donations and efforts of Jimmy Beans Wool, The Yarn Group, Vogue Knitting Magazine, Tahki Stacy Charles, Classic Elite Yarns, Knitting Pure and Simple, Rowan, Red Heart Yarns, Universal Yarns,

Lorna’s Laces and Knitter’s Pride Needles, each award being distributed to the five outstanding students this year is worth $2,250.

Recipients of the Beans For Brains Scholarship are

selected from each of the four regions of the United States while the fifth comes specifically from the Reno/ Tahoe community, the home of Jimmy Beans Wool. In addition to providing insight

into their educational endeavors, applicants are required to submit a photo of their latest knitting or crocheting project.

This is the third year that Jimmy Beans Wool and the fiber industry has supported the pursuit of higher education through the Beans for Brains Scholarship Program, which this year garnered nearly 1,200 applicants. The goal of Beans for Brains is to help provide opportunities for higher education to people in the knitting and crochet community.

“Paying for college is a major financial challenge for many people and every little bit helps,” said Jimmy Beans Wool Owner Laura Zander.

“This is an investment in our industry and in our future.”

Kyndel Klug and Joshua McCormack were married June 23 in Mount Vernon.

Klug marries McCormack Kyndel Mae Klug and Joshua Dane McCormack were married June 23, 2012, at The Grand Willow Inn in Mount Vernon.

Family friend Reverend Ken Bell officiated the ceremony. Both bride and groom were accompanied by their childhood best friend, maid of honor, Karlee Dorn and best man Jake Ineck.

Kyndel is the daughter of Mark and Sharon Klug of Freeland. She is a 2006 graduate of South Whidbey High School. Dane is the son of Mark and Cheri McCormack of Garden City, Idaho. He attended Boise State University for a degree in electrical engineering, and then joined the Navy in 2004.

The couple honeymooned on Maui and will continue to live in Oak Harbor with their dogs.
