Fire truck can’t get it in gear Council again stalls plan to buy new emergency apparatus

Candidates square off as election day draws nigh

CLASH of IDEAS

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Staff reporter

A fire truck was once again a bone of contention at the Oak Harbor City Council meeting this week.

Four members of the council were scolded by colleagues after they refused to change their minds about delaying the purchase of a rescue rig because of budget concerns, even though the city has more than enough money in the equipment rental fund.

Immediately afterward, the same council members supported the purchase of other, non-budgeted equipment for City Hall, specifically a new server and an HVAC system to provide heat to the mayor’s office and surrounding areas. The irony wasn’t lost on Mayor Scott Dudley, who accused them of micromanaging certain departments.

Scott Dudley, “We have no problem Oak Harbor mayor replacing a heating unit,” he said, referring to the council. “I will go without heat in the admin (office) if that means we can have a rescue rig at our fire department. That is the priority.”

The difference, however, was in dollars. The rescue rig that firefighters want to purchase was $131,000. The HVAC systems and the server totaled about $28,000.

The issue goes back to the last council meeting at which three councilmen — Joel Servatius, Rick Almberg and Bob Severns — blocked Fire Chief Ray Merrill’s request to purchase a rescue rig to replace the current truck, which is 26 years old, in need of expensive repairs, slow and not adequate for the job of hauling rescue equipment to emergencies.

The council had approved the fire department’s request to go out for bids. Merrill returned to the council with the winning bid, but the three councilmen passed a motion to delay purchase of the truck until after the budget is

andidates for local, state and federal races sparred in Oak Harbor Thursday at the first of a series of political forums geared around the November general election.

Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island and Sno-Isle Libraries, the forum was held at the Elks Lodge and was attended by a crowd of more than 100 people, according to Marshall Goldberg, a league member and the evening’s moderator.

“The attendance wasn’t as much as I’d hoped, but I’m prejudiced,” said Goldberg, in an interview after the forum. “I wanted to fill the seats.”

Considering that the forum was held on a Thursday evening and on the night after the first presidential debate, Goldberg said he was satisfied with the turnout overall.

Participating were candidates from a total of six races. The format saw that each was quizzed with questions prepared in advance by league members — questions from the crowd were not permitted — that were

One of the most charged debates of the evening was waged between Second Congressional District candidates Rick Larsen, the Democrat incumbent, and Republican challenger Dan Matthews.

The two battled over hot-button issues ranging from partisan bickering in Washington D.C., the stricken economy and the

road to recovery to defense spending, the national debt and health care.

Addressing the Affordable Care Act, Larsen said it lacked quality cost controls in Medicare. One way to lessen the burden on Medicare, he said, is to ensure seniors have easy access to health care early in life.

He also added, just before it was Matthews’ turn to address health care, that

claims of Congress taking $716 billion from Medicare to cover other costs are patently false.

“That claim/assertion has been debunked by every credible fact-checker in the United States,” Larsen said.

“Every credible Democrat fact-checker,” Matthews fired back. “In fact, that is the figure that has come out and the Office of See CLASH, A8

New county plan may affect beach access

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

A long-range planning document that will dictate development on shorelines in rural Island County over the next 20 years will be the focus of a series of public meetings beginning next week.

County planning officials and the Planning Commission recently completed a comprehensive update of the shoreline master program and their recommendations have been forwarded to the Island County commissioners for review and approval.

Before the board takes action in November, the updated rules are to be discussed at public meetings on Whidbey and Camano islands.

The first begins at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, and will be held in Grigware Hall at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland. The second meeting will be held the following week at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15, in the Commissioner’s Hearing Room in Coupeville while the third is scheduled to take place the next day, Oct. 16, on Camano Island.

It’s a major overhaul to the existing shoreline master program, which was first drafted more than 30 years ago. The update is state mandated and will impact both new and existing development, said Karen Stewart, program coordinator with Island County Planning and Community Development.

“It’s a major rewrite,” she said.

The rules, which apply to all development within 200 feet upland of the ordinary

high-water mark on saltwater beaches and the six lakes in Island County, were first drafted in 1976 in response to the state Shoreline Management Act. The state adopted new guidelines in 2003.

Stewart, a specialist who has worked on five other updates, was hired in 2010 to lead the county in the revision process. Over the past two years, the document has been worked by a technical advisory group, the planning commission and been talked about in at least 15 public meetings.

Public beaches A host of issues and concerns from the community have been broached through the process but cries for dedicated or reclaimed public beach accesses have been by far the loudest.

Mike McVay, founder of Island Citizens For Public Beach Access, has been one of those leading the charge.

In testimony to the planning commission, he advocated that the rule update should place greater emphasis on the reclamation of beach access points that have been either lost to or stolen by private property owners.

“These issues, which have not been adequately addressed in prior legislation, need to be included in the SMP update as important, high-priority elements of the update process,” he wrote in a letter to the commissioners. “Effective measures designed to rectify these conditions need to be formulated and undertaken. They cannot be ignored.”

Stewart said they have taken public beach access concerns to heart and spent a considerable amount to time working to update the county’s list of sites, from those already established to those that remain in question.

“This has been the most detailed public access inventory that I’ve worked on,” she said.

The effort is not over.

Stewart said a finalized list could not be completed due to a lack of resources and time. It will have to continue in years to come.

There were some who wanted the rules to take a tough stance on encroachment. Specifically, the planning commission considered a request to increase violation from a civil to criminal offense.

Bob Pederson, director of Island County Planning and Community Development, confirmed that his department recommended the planning commission not take such an aggressive position.

The levying of civil penalties is the traditional approach to encroachment, he said. Also, encroachment isn’t always a case of nefarious intent. Sometimes it’s as simple as people putting a mail box in the wrong spot and they should not be penalized with a criminal record, he said.

Other concerns about public beach access centered on new construction. Under the new rules, developments with five homes or more must look at putting in an access, but it’s not a requirement.

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Mike McVay, founder of Island Citizens For Public Beach Access, sits at the head of Marissa Lane, a 20-foot wide public beach access in South Whidbey. He is one of many who are advocating for public beach access in Island County’s update of its Shoreline Master Program.

“It’s a requirement to consider it,” Pederson said.

He explained that some properties, such as those located in critical areas or on a bluff, may make a mandatory beach access inappropriate.

Also, it’s the shoreline planning official who makes the ultimate decision, not the developer, he said.

Too restrictive?

Others worry that the new rules are too restrictive, particularly when it comes to older structures. A home that was permitted under past regulations may become non-conforming under the new rules, making changes in the future difficult or even impossible in some cases, said Jeff White, a Clinton small business owner who does private residential design and permit work.

“In the worst case scenarios, you’ll have people doing outlaw stuff,” White said.

“The county has to take some responsibility for properties and developments they have permitted in the past,”

he added.

There are instances in which existing development could be affected. The rules will impact how bulkheads, piers and stairs to beaches can be maintained or repaired. Even mooring buoys are addressed in the rules.

Representatives from several commercial interests voiced concerns about the update. Ian Jefferds of Penn Cove Shellfish and Diani Taylor of Shelton-based Taylor Shellfish Farms both submitted written comments concerning aquaculture.

The Skagit/Island Counties Builders Association, commonly known as SICBA, complained about a host of issues, from public access and buffer requirements to sections pertaining to shoreline armoring and bulkhead repair.

Ramp concerns Even some elected officials worry the rules may go too far. Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Dennis Gregoire wrote to Stewart about

the limitations the update may place on the improvement of boat ramps, which he described as “historic public access points to public waters.”

“It looks to me the Shoreline Management Act has become the shoreline protection act,” Gregoire wrote.

“Based on my 30 years of dealing with shoreline planning and waterfront development, I see a very bleak future for any development providing public access through boating facilities along Island County’s shorelines.”

Pederson said the update was a major endeavor and is not surprised that the balanced approach taken by its drafters has resulted in some concern from the public.

This is not a one size fits all document, he said.

There is still plenty of time to submit comments. After next week’s workshop meetings, the board will begin to review the proposed update and request any changes.

The public hearing in which they might take action is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 5.

Beer brewers find a home in downtown Oak Harbor

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Beer aficionados on Whidbey Island have a local place to support and diversify their passion for brewing suds.

Whidbey Island Home Brew Supply opened recently on Fidalgo Avenue in Oak Harbor and provides all of the equipment and ingredients to brew the alcoholic concoction people have been enjoying for thousands of years.

“There’s a big contingency of home brewers on the island and it’s time we had our own brew supply,” said Jeremy Allison, one of three owners of the brewing supply store.

Whidbey Island is apparently home to a significant community of beer brewers. A contingent of home brewers was on display last August during the Fidalgo Avenue Block Party and Pig Roast. Approximately 50 people competed in the first home brewing competition held at the popular summer picnic. There’s also a group, the Whidbey Island Zymurgy Association, that is active in the area.

Allison, who brewed his first beer in 1996, is operating the store with Robby Skillin and Terry Boese.

“We have one of the best selection of base grains in the state,” Boese said.

Allison added that the store also receives its supply of yeast from White Labs and from WYeast, both of which produce yeasts that compe-

IN OUR OPINION Think pink through October You may have noticed that the Whidbey News-Times is pink. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record have teamed up with merchants, organizations and hospitals to bring the message home to Whidbey Island in these special editions of the newspapers.

Even as “pink days” become commonplace each October and a proliferation of campaigns work to bring awareness to the disease and raise funds for research, it’s still the second most diagnosed cancer in women, just after skin cancer. The disease touches every community.

Last year, doctors at Whidbey General Hospital diagnosed 47 cases of breast cancer, which accounted for a third of all cancers diagnosed that year.

All women, and a few men, are at risk of breast cancer.

It’s scary stuff, but there are common-sense steps women can take to protect themselves. Elisa Del Rosario of Komen Puget Sound points out that early detection is the key to survival. All women over 40 years old should have regular mammograms.

Fortunately, the North Whidbey Soroptimists are working to make access to mammograms available for women in that age group. The Soroptimists restarted a mammogram fund two years ago to help women living on North Whidbey for whom diagnostic mammography services are unaffordable.

One concrete step residents can do to help in the fight against breast cancer on Whidbey Island is to donate to the fund, which is managed by the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation.

Donations can be made to Soroptimists of Oak Harbor, PO Box 893, Oak Harbor, WA 98277.

For more information, email the organization at sioakharbor@soroptimist.com.

Letters to the editor Feedback

Foundation voters’ guide was factual In the letter from Jill Yomnick published in the Whidbey News-Times on Sept. 26 (‘Voters’ guide was partisan’), it was stated that the Freedom Foundation’s Voters’ Guide was a “paid advertisement.” After carefully searching several times, neither my wife nor I was able to find those words printed on the voters’ guide. Nor was the Freedom Foundation named in the advertising supplements

listed on the editorial page of the paper. But the guide was identified as a “Publication of the Freedom Foundation.”

So perhaps they paid the Whidbey News-Times to distribute the voters’ guide.

However, that does not make it either a partisan publication or paid advertising.

As a member and supporter of the Freedom Foundation for several years, I agree that it is a conservative organization.

But it is clearly stated that their mission is to promote transparency and accountability in state government; fiscal responsibility by the legislature; free enterprise

and individual liberty. Those are not bad things; nor are they partisan. The Freedom Foundation does not declare support or opposition for any candidate or ballot measure in the voters’ guide. They endeavor to provide factual information so that we voters can make informed decisions on election day (or whenever we fill out the mail-in ballots.)

The Freedom Foundation is funded primarily by members’ donations and annual membership dues. The implication that they are financed by the Koch brothers is unsubstantiated. Then imagining “guilt by associa-

tion” to accuse the Freedom Foundation of profiting from fossil fuel development and climate change denial is rumor mongering. Two organizational realities are used as pejoratives in the letter. Every public service organization must have goals (or agendas) and financial resources to survive, succeed and make a difference in the public discourse. That should not be used as a basis for casting aspersions on the efforts of people who are helping us to monitor the performance of our government.

Readiness to Learn thanks supporters Readiness To Learn would like to take this opportunity to thank its many supporters of the Back To School Program in Coupeville that serves Coupeville and Oak Harbor students.

Amy McShane and the board of Harbor Haven made a donation with proceeds from The New Beginning Thrift Store that helped immensely in serving the students.

Camber Christian, the missions and outreach coordinator of Oak Harbor Living Faith Christian Center, organized a supply drive that garnered numerous stylish backpacks as well as many large boxes of needed items. We offer our gratitude to Coupeville Windermere, as they made a large donation and to the Coupeville Lions Club that also gave generously.

The “Back To School Program” would also like to extend our appreciation to Living Hope Foursquare Church, Coupeville Library, the Coupeville branches of Whidbey Island Bank and Peoples Bank and Coupeville Coffee and Bistro for giving space in their business for the collection drop boxes.

We want to thank the many other generous individuals that donated to the drop boxes located throughout the community, as well as all the generous donors who sent checks for the binders, composition books, pencils, paper, calculators, markers, colored pencils, scissors, pencil boxes and many other items.

Readiness to Learn salutes our volunteers, for without their help, the program would not have run. Our heartfelt thanks to Maria Chamberlin,

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

Carol Decker, Amy Briscoe, Kyla Briscoe, Tiffany Briscoe, Heather Nasgali, Tamika Nasgali and Jasmine Nasgali for their efforts.

As a result of all this community support, we were able to serve 84 Coupeville and Oak Harbor students.

There were 36 children from Coupeville Elementary, 25 students from Coupeville Middle School, 23 teens from Coupeville High School as well as 16 Oak Harbor children. Generous donations allowed us to offer a gift card as well as school supplies so each child was able to start the school year with a new backpack, needed supplies and a new outfit. We continue to offer supplies throughout the year to homeless students as well as to newly enrolled children whose families are in need. On the first day of classes, there were many smiling faces thanks to the wonderful caring support of our community.

‘Angels’ grateful for support Looking at our list of supporters, donors and the people who gave so much of themselves, I am humbled and so grateful for the community we are fortunate enough to be a part of.

Literally from the very first phone call I made, I was introduced to the giving spirit of the business owners and managers of Oak Harbor. They not only donated their goods and services. but continue to give their time and hearts as well. We were thrilled to meet two new Angel families and represent more than 30 Angels around the world at our picnic Because of these VIPs, our picnic was an outstanding success, we raised nearly triple the amount of last year! For a total of almost $1,800 to send to FAST for research and therapy for our Angels! Our

biggest success was raising awareness for our daughter and all Angels.

Extra special thanks go out to: Courtney, Sonna and the Ryan Family at The BBQ Joint; Connie at Oak Harbor Walgreens; Brian Boyle from Spatz of Washington Contractors; Johanna Boyle; The Hiatt Family; Robyn at The Party Store; The Radach Family; Stacy at Whidbey Coffee; Rob (and his awesome dogs) at Midway Florist; Charisse and the Waldon Family from Seabolt’s Smokehouse; John and Penny Fowkes of Amazing Entertainment; Kay Coolridge at Popsies; Chelsea and Nathaniel at Double R Rentals; The staff at Gallery Golf Course; The owners of Yummies; Bill Waite at A.C Aircraft Company; Lee Rossi and the Rossi family at Oak Harbor Signs; Lynn at Whidbey Inspirations; Aaron at Aaron’s Tattoo; Rick, Melissa and Jason at The Football Bat; the whole bakery crew at Kakies; and last but not least Rebecca at Whidbey News-Times and Crosswind for publishing our story and getting the word out about Angelman Syndrome and our picnic.

Without these people our picnic would never have gotten off the ground, our auction would never have been a roaring success and we would never have begun the friendships that we now value so much. Thank you seems almost insufficient, but because of the support of everyone the dream that our daughter and other Angels may someday have the ability to speak their thanks is that much closer to reality.

Foundation’s Informed Voter Guide (included in a past edition of this newspaper).

Rather than respond to the content — factual information about important issues like the state budget and education — she suggests that others join in her personal conspiracy theories. I guess that’s one way to avoid considering the facts and having an honest debate. For our part, the Freedom Foundation never tells anyone how to vote. We simply believe all citizens should make informed decisions as we participate in the democratic process.

Johnson supports schools, Navy I am supporting Jill Johnson for the following rea-

sons. I began working with Jill early in my tenure as Oak Harbor High School principal and gained great respect for her support of all students and their educational goals in the city of Oak Harbor. She understands the truth in “It takes a whole village to raise a child.” When Jill became a member of the Rotary group that worked on behalf of the stadium and the bonds to remodel OHHS, her leadership and experience was invaluable.

Jill’s vision for education and for a better Oak Harbor and Whidbey Island are seen in her understanding of the active duty military and civilian contract providers at NAS Whidbey Island. She understands that NAS Whidbey is the largest employer and the dollars those wage earners spend drives, in many cases, the success or failure of private enterprise in Oak Harbor. Her support for the military appreciation day in September and her coordination and leadership in working with her Chamber of Commerce members helps drive a highly successful occasion.

truck CONTINUED FROM A1 done and negotiations with the firefighters union are complete.

Councilwoman Beth Munns and Councilman Jim Campbell were absent from the September meeting, but were back this week.

Following the September meeting, critics accused the councilmen of delaying the truck purchase as political payback over the controversy surrounding the appointment of Merrill as fire chief.

Tuesday, Councilwoman Tara Hizon made a motion — which Campbell seconded — to rescind the previous motion. Councilman Danny Paggao agreed.

Councilwoman Beth Munns, however, joined with the Servatius, Almberg and Severns to prevent the motion from being rescinded. She explained that the money is available in the fire department’s account, but it’s not “sacred” and can be used to pay salaries if necessary.

“I would rather pay for people than new equipment,” she said.

She said she agreed the truck needs to be replaced, but she believes it can wait.

“So far in what Chief Merrill has presented, I haven’t seen the validity that this is crucial. It’s important but it’s not crucial to saving lives,” she said.

hasn’t changed.

The motion failed in a 3-4 vote, with Hizon, Campbell and Paggao voting in support.

Campbell was not happy.

“I think it’s just outrageous that we talked about this for 20 minutes and we put a few dollars over the possibility that somebody can get hurt with this piece of junk we’re telling the firefighters they’ve got to use,” Campbell said.

“Our charter, our No. 1 char-

ter as a city council person is to protect the citizens of Oak Harbor and we just put dollars ahead of their protection.

To be perfectly honest with you, I think all of you that voted no should be ashamed of yourselves.”

Afterward, Public Works Director Cathy Rosen brought forward a couple of purchase requests, which were added to the agenda by Munns. Rosen explained that

City Hall employees noticed the smell of smoke in the office a couple of weeks ago, which led a worker to discover that one of the HVAC systems on the roof had a hole in it and another had a hole starting. She said it would cost $13,700 to replace them.

Campbell questioned Rosen about whether money was available for the purchase and she said it was.

“I cannot not say this,” he said. “The money is available to buy the fire equipment.

We’re more worried about somebody’s coolness or hotness in the office, which is important, but we’re not worried about people’s safety.”

In addition, Rosen asked to purchase a $14,000 server to replace an aging server with a broken motherboard.

Both purchases passed unanimously.

Likewise, Almberg said he believes the truck does need to be replaced, but he just wants to wait until after he gets a chance to examine the budget before spending such a large chunk of money.

“I don’t think two months is going to make that much of a difference. We’ve been driving it for, what, 10 years,” he said. “And I can see supporting the replacement of the vehicle when we know we have the money.”

Servatius he didn’t like that the original motion tied the purchase of the vehicle to union negotiations, but he still wanted to delay the purchase. Severns said his mind

clash CONTINUED FROM A1 Management and Budget said the figure will probably increase.”

Going on the offensive, Matthews said the difference between Larsen and himself was the “all or nothing” approach to health care.

It’s “simple inaccurate” to maintain that health issues can only be addressed by the Affordable Care Act, he said.

Matthews went on to attack Larsen’s record, claiming the veteran lawmaker had accomplished very little in his 12 years in office and has yet to rise to “significant levels of leadership.”

“There is very little to his credit,” he said. “That is his record.”

Larsen wasn’t on the ropes for long. He noted that individuals Matthews had cited as holding more ranking positions had, in fact, been there years longer and deserved their seniority.

He said he is the leading Democrat on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Committee

and will be leading the aviation sub-committee of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee next year.

There are 435 members of the House of Representatives and he claimed he has been part of 5 percent of the “bills of substance” that have passed.

“Five percent isn’t a lot but it is when you’re only one-435th of the entire congress,” Larsen said.

need for regulatory reform.

They did, however, differ on the extent they believe it’s needed.

Their top priorities were also similar, though they again differed here and there. Riggs said jobs would be his focus if elected while challenger David Hayes, a Republican from Camano, talked about economic viability.

Smith said the economy and private sector job creation is at the top of her list while challenger Aaron Simpson, a Langley Democrat, has his eye on increasing eduction funding.

Another largely tame discussion occurred between the hopefuls for Island County commissioner district 1 and 2. Candidates were hit with a gambit of issues that have become central to the commissioner races.

That included how the candidates would prioritize the budget.

Oak Harbor Republican Jill Johnson was up first and, hitting what seems to have become one the core issues of this election, said law and justice funding should come first. Restoring a professional “tone” to the board was

More water?

Not all the debates were so fiery. Rather, the discussion between the four candidates seeking positions 1 and 2 in the 10th Legislative District for state House was a cordial affair that saw more friendly smiles than political jabs.

Their 30 minutes on the proverbial hot seat was so easygoing, at one point Tom Riggs, a Camano Democrat running for position 2, cheerily poured a glass of water for Norma Smith, a Clinton Republican seeking reelection to position 1.

Despite their political affiliations, the candidates even found common ground on some issues, such as the

her other top goal, she said.

Next up was Coupeville Republican Jeff Lauderdale and he likewise said he would focus on public safety.

He also aims to reduce regulation that he said was stifling growth.

Incumbent Clinton Democrat Helen Price Johnson said she hopes to bring people together to address public health and safety needs, foster a vibrant economy and preserve a quality of life.

Finally, incumbent Oak Harbor Democrat Angie Homola said the job of every commissioner is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community while balancing the budget.

Clout questioned The last race of the evening was between state Rep. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, and incumbent Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano, for the 10th Legislative District Senate seat.

The discussion saw a range of topics discussed, from ideas about how each candidate hopes to solve the funding headaches plaguing the state’s education system

to legislation each lawmaker is proud of.

Naturally, the future of Washington State Ferries was also discussed. The candidates were asked how they felt the ferry system, particularly routes on Whidbey Island, would be affected by the results of this election.

Haugen was quick to point out that she believed this “was the real issue you need to deal with” because she is the chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee. She said she would be writing the transportation budget next year.

She took credit for the replacement of the Steel Electrics, which were retired suddenly in late 2007 for safety reasons. Ferries will remain her top priority, she said.

“I told you before I would take care of the ferries,” Haugen said. “They will not be cut under my leadership.”

Bailey said ferries would not be cut under her leadership either and was equally quick to point out that ferries have been plagued with problems for years. Also, the replacement of the Steel Electrics was anything but smooth. Officials had to

scramble to find a design and the first boat didn’t hit the water until 2010.

If Haugen’s position and influence is so great, why haven’t the issues been dealt with, she asked.

“Why are we continually in this problem?” Bailey said. “I think that’s the real question.”

Haugen responded by claiming that if she is unseated in November, her position will not go to Bailey.

Rather, she said it would go to a legislator in a district not serviced by the state ferry system.

“My opponent will not be writing the transportation budget,” Haugen said. “And they may promise her (ferries in specific locations) but she won’t get the boats.”

Bailey said she never claimed she would be chairwoman of the committee but again promised that ferries would not be cut under her watch. She also noted that no matter who writes the budget, it still has to be passed by the Legislature.

“It takes 50 votes in the House and 25 votes in the Senate to pass a budget... and a governor willing to sign it,” Bailey said.

Lorraine McConaghy, a member of the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau, will hold a Reader’s Theater about the Civil War in Washington, allowing participants to take on characters from the time.

By REBECCA OLSON

Enter Civil War history

T Staff reporter

he Civil War is typically portrayed as a clash between northern and southern states on the East Coast. But a member of the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau will present research that shows slavery and the Civil War were also thriving in Washington state.

Lorraine McConaghy will speak at the Coupeville and Freeland libraries on Monday, Oct. 15. What makes this presentation unique is that McConaghy won’t be the only one speaking; at this Reader’s Theater event, the audience becomes the characters.

“It’s very informal, but on the other hand, the chance of being able to speak the view of a slaveholder in Olympia or the governor of Washington, it’s just very powerful to speak in another person’s shoes like that,” McConaghy said.

Civil War battles may not have touched Washington, but wars of opinion certainly did. Impressed by the strong views McConaghy read in newspapers, she decided Reader’s Theater was a beneficial path for her presentation.

“It’s very dramatic and very interesting and I felt like I wanted to share it, I wanted other people to know how interesting this was,” McConaghy said of the time period.

Surprises are in store McConaghy has dedicated the past five years to researching the Civil War’s influence in Washington. As a public historian, she devoted her professional life to researching and teaching Pacific Northwest history and has curated a series of projects at Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry. She will release a book in January called “Free Boy,” exploring the story of a slave escaping from Olympia in the 1860s.

“Even thinking about the Civil War here is counterintuitive,” McConaghy said, adding that her presentation is sure to open attendees’ eyes to a new view of the history.

“I think we think of the Civil War as a series of Eastern battlefields. I think here in the far northwest, we think the Civil War was far, far, far away.”

However, the Civil War was just as important on the West Coast as people took strong opinions and owned slaves, and on the 150th anniversary of the war this year, McConaghy wants to share an important piece of history that many people miss.

“I don’t know what isn’t surprising about this. I think our dependence on the East and our relationship with the East is surprising,” she said.

Slavery and the war were just as hot of topics for Washingtonians as those on the East

War in the West?

Civil War researcher includes audience in presentation of heated slavery and war opinions in Washington Coast. McConaghy described people shooting shotguns through each others’ windows to express disagreement, and a woman who baked a cake with the Dixie flag on top then left it at a picnic, to the shock of passersby.

“They were surprised then and people will be surprised now,” McConaghy said.

She was surprised to learn five years ago that military officers in Washington and even the governor of Washington resigned to join the Confederate states’ army and navy dur-

ing a war on the other side of the nation.

“I just find this stuff absolutely fascinating.

Five years ago when I first read this, my jaw just dropped,” McConaghy said, adding that she enjoys sharing her knowledge with others.

“Everyone has something that surprises them — the role of women, that there were slaves in Washington,” McConaghy said.

At the beginning of the presentation, McConaghy will give a brief talk about the

era and show photos of some of the people whose voices attendees will be using.

“My hope is that at the end of the Reader’s Theater, we will have a lively discussion,” McConaghy said, adding that the goal of the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau is to encourage informed conversation.

“I think it could be a lot of fun for young people and their teachers to come see what a Reader’s Theater is like,” McConaghy said.

The program is meant for all ages, with an emphasis on lifelong learners.

Library programs Sno-Isle Libraries offer a number of programs for life-long learners.

Also included in the Why History series is a history of forts at 5:30 p.m.

Monday, Oct. 8, and 1960s folk music at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22.

The Coupeville Library offers other programs, including the Librarians as Information Guides series, which teaches participants how to use Sno-Isle online databases to research and learn.

“It’s really designed for adult life-long learners to explore different resources,” said Leslie Franzen, branch manager for the Coupeville Library.

Classes are 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Mondays.

On Oct. 8, explore travel and language databases; Oct. 15, learn to download eBooks and Oct. 22 and 29, learn how to research family history.

Wildcats clobber Chargers

Saar’s rally lifts ‘Cats to win Carter Saar’s comeback win in third singles helped the Oak Harbor tennis team to a 4-3 win over visiting Marysville Getchell Thursday.

The Wildcats also lost a 5-2 home match to Everett Wednesday.

In the win over Getchell, Oak Harbor’s David Kusnick won a second-set tie-breaker 12-10 to capture second singles 6-4, 7-6 and even the team score at three points apiece. The two schools then waited for the third singles match to end to decide the team result.

Saar dropped his first set to Navdeep Manhas 4-6, then edged out the second set 7-6(5) before rolling to a 6-1 win in the third.

Coach Horace Mells said Saar

“appeared to be more determined with consistent play to win the match.”

Saar’s win also earned a bit of revenge.

The Chargers defeated the Wildcats 4-3 earlier this season, with Manhas’ win over Saar the difference.

Wins by William Southard (6-1, 6-1) and Harrison Miller (7-5, 6-2) led to a Wildcat sweep in singles.

Getchell (3-11) picked up its three points by taking the doubles matches.

Against Everett (5-6, 6-8), Oak Harbor collected its wins in third and fourth singles from Saar (6-3, 3-6, 6-1) and Miller (6-4, 6-0).

Oak Harbor (4-8, 4-10) finishes its home schedule with Shorecrest (8-3, 10-4) at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8.

Cross country teams win The Oak Harbor cross country teams closed out the Western Conference regular season with wins in a four-team meet at Shoreline’s Hamlin Park Thursday.

The girls edged Shorecrest 40-42; Mountlake Terrace followed with 64 and Cascade 75.

The boys topped Terrace, Cascade and Shorecrest 29-39-75-94.

Oak Harbor goes to the 74-team Hole in the Wall Invitational at 9 a.m. today at Lakewood High School.

The girls used the 2-3

finish of Christina Wicker (23:03) and Alex Laiblin (23:04) over the 5,000meter course to slide by Shorecrest. The Scots’ Gigi Vujovich won in 22:21.

Coach Eric Peterson said, “The girls ran well with Alex Laiblin and Christina Wicker working together and making their way through the lead pack for the Wildcats. Ashley Everett ran the breakout race of the day with a great time and finish for this 5K.” Everett placed 10th in 24:10.

John Rodeheffer (18:30) won the boys race as Oak Harbor placed five in the top 12: Clayton Richardson, third, 19:02; Jason Salas, sixth, 19:11; Patrick Mayer, seventh, 19:25; and Isaac Matthews, 12th, 19:44.

Peterson said, “The boys ran with a plan today performing really well. John held the lead from the start, cruising to an easy win. Great performances came from Isaac Matthews and Clay Richardson.”

prep roundup Lack of offense haunting Coupeville volleyball team Unable to generate a consistent offensive punch, the Coupeville volleyball team lost at home to Cedarcrest 3-0 Tuesday and to Lakewood 3-1 Thursday.

The Red Wolves, who are in second place in the Cascade Conference with a 7-1 record, won 25-9, 25-16, 25-11.

Coach Toni Crebbin said her team had trouble producing an offensive attack and “just couldn’t seem to put it all together.”

She added, “We are doing what we are focusing on in practice, but we just don’t have any offense.”

Playing well in two games was not enough against Lakewood.

The Wolves (1-8, 2-8) dropped the first set 25-18, then rebounded to take the second 25-22. The Cougars won game three 25-14 and, although Coupeville put in a solid effort, took game four 25-23.

The Wolves’ leading player, Bessie Walstad, returned after a two-week injury and saw spot duty, recording five kills in only two games.

Crebbin said it was “nice to have her back in there.”

Bree Messner had “a nice offensive night,”

according to Crebbin, recording 11 kills, six aces and 24 digs.

Sydney Aparicio had 19 digs and Megan Oakes 21 assists.

Next up is a trip to rival South Whidbey (2-6, 2-7) at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9.

Crebbin said, “A win against South Whidbey would put us in a tie with them. Finishing ahead of them in the league would give us a much better spot in the playoffs, so it should be a big night.”

Shorthanded ‘Cats struggle against deeper teams Playing shorthanded is taking its toll on the Oak Harbor High School soccer team as the Wildcats fell twice this week at home.

The Wildcats lost to top-ranked Meadowdale 7-0 Tuesday and to Shorewood 8-0 Thursday.

Injuries and illness have plagued the Wildcats all year, forcing a handful of players to log heavy minutes, according to coach Jeff Laiblin.

The players are “physically and mentally tired,” Laiblin said, and with that comes mistakes.

Oak Harbor “played really well at the start, frustrating Meadowdale for the first

22 minutes,” said Laiblin. Then the Mavericks (9-0) scored to go up 1-0. Two goals quickly followed after Oak Harbor mistakes.

Laiblin said, “We gave the ball away twice in front of the goal, and with the talent they have they easily put away two great shots.”

After having to tackle the No. 1 Mavericks, the Wildcats were spent in the matchup with a physical and deep Shorewood (4-3-3) team.

“Our heart and wanting to win were there,” Laiblin said, but the Wildcats were playing with an empty tank.

Oak Harbor (0-7, 0-8-1) faces Mountlake Terrace (2-5, 3-6-1) at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

CHS defense improving; offense looks to follow Good defense mixed with a lack of offense has been the recipe lately for the Coupeville High School soccer team as it lost twice this week at Mickey Clark Field.

After losing 2-0 to Cedarcrest Tuesday, the Wolves suffered a heart-wrenching 1-0 loss in double overtime to Lakewood Thursday.

Coupeville coach Dan d’Almeida said, “We are continuing our trend of shoring up our defense.”

The improvement is showing up on the scoreboard. Cedarcrest defeated Coupeville 6-0 earlier this season, and Lakewood beat

After a series of tense matches, the Oak Harbor High School volleyball team finally had a no-doubter, thumping visiting Marysville-Getchell 3-0 Tuesday.

The Wildcats cruised to a 25-5, 25-12, 25-12 sweep over the winless Chargers (0-2, 0-8).

Oak Harbor coach Kerri Molitor called the win a “great overall effort from the whole team…The team came together nicely tonight.”

Kelsey Rankin got things rolling with 14 consecutive serves and three aces in the lopsided first-game win.

Wildcat setters combined for 30 assists. Taylor Neinhuis dished out 19 and Hailey Beecher added 11.

Beecher “did a great job setting in her varsity debut,” Molitor said.

Roshel Muzzall was “consistent on serve receive,” Molitor said and added eight kills.

Amelia Berner “served tough and played solid defense,” according to Molitor, and finished with four aces.

Kayleigh Harper topped the match with 15 kills.

Oak Harbor (2-1, 4-5) goes to Marysville-Pilchuck (1-1, 4-4) at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9.

the Wolves 5-0.

The Wolves, however, haven’t scored in five straight matches. D’Almeida said, “We are building our attack, making progress, it just doesn’t show up on the score sheet.

We are putting more pressure on the goalies than in the past.”

He added, “We have way more one-onone opportunities, we just can’t get them past the goal keepers.”

Near misses have been abundant this fall, and the Wolves had another against Cedarcrest. Madison Tisa-McPhee drilled a shot off the cross bar.

“Had it gone in,” d’Almeida said, “it would have been interesting to see how the match would have turned out.”

Cedarcrest scored in the first half on a 30-yard floater, then sewed up the match with a goal with 12 minutes left.

Lakewood scored off a ground cross from the left side near the end of the second OT. D’Almeida said, “The girls did an excellent job, especially in the defensive back line.”

The Wolves, playing with a “makeshift offensive lineup,” d’Almeida said, got the ball behind the Cougar defense several times but never got a quality shot.

The heart-breaking loss was the 11th straight for Coupeville.

“We are right there,” d’Almeida said of his improving team.

The Wolves (0-9, 0-11) journey to South Whidbey (3-6, 3-7-1) at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9.

Jacqueline Thomas and kindergarten students at Crescent Harbor Elementary show off some of the $1,000 worth of supplies provided by the local OfficeMax store, led by store manager Kevin Krueger.

Presented by the Whidbey Island Arts Council

teacher CONTINUED FROM A10 of ‘down time’ in her classroom, and the effort she makes to keep kids engaged

in learning is evident in the relationships she builds with her students and also in their academic performance.”

Each October, OfficeMax stores surprise and honor more than 1,000 teachers at Title 1 schools around the country with a total of $1 million worth of classroom supplies — $1,000 per classroom. According to OfficeMax, surveys have shown that teachers spend on average $623 of their own money on school supplies every year.

OfficeMax holds “A Day Made Better” nationally to help attract public attention to the problem of teacher out-of-pocket spending and motivate the public to help teachers by adopting them through Adopt-A-Classroom.

Our New Kitchen is Working and our Farm Shop is still open!
