Auditor expecting big voter turnout Tuesday

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Island County election officials said they expect a strong voter turnout for Tuesday’s General Election.

Not only is it a presidential election year, but the biggest return days have yet to come and ballot boxes on Whidbey and Camano islands are already being found stuffed with the choices of eager voters.

Schools gearing up for levy kickoff Rally planned November 14

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

As one campaign ends, another is just beginning.

A rally scheduled one week after the general election will take place to round up volunteers needed to pro-

mote an upcoming replacement levy that will help fund Oak Harbor School District.

The kickoff rally is 6 p.m., Wednesday Nov. 14 at the North Whidbey Middle School gymnasium.

Voters in February 2013 will decide whether to approve a four-year tax levy that will bring in $7.3 million over the course of four years. Unlike capital bond measures, levies have to pass by a 50 percent simple majority.

The kickoff event will include perfor-

mances by two bands — one comprised of teachers and another of students — and provide a way for people to get involved promoting the upcoming levy.

“We’re just hoping to have a big kickoff,” said Erica Wasinger, who is cochairing the Citizens for Better Schools along with Lynn Goebel. Wasinger noted the door prizes that will be available, which include two three-month memberships to Thrive as well as gift See LEVY, A11

As of Thursday afternoon, Island County Elections Office officials confirmed that nearly 25,000 voters had already turned in their ballots. That’s just under half of the 50,319 registered voters.

“We’re just a hair under 50 percent returned already,” said Michele Reagan, voter registration deputy for the election office.

Haugen says mailer cites ‘bold-faced lies’

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Democratic state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen has been bombarded by negative mailers this election season, some of which are oddly hilarious, but she’s not laughing about the latest piece she claims is simply false.

“It’s just bold-faced lies,” she said repeatedly.

The mailer was paid for by the Washington State Republican Party, but Haugen blames challenger Barbara Bailey, a Republican state representative and an

Oak Harbor resident who pledged not to go negative.

It faults Haugen for a lack of oversight and accountability at the ferry system, citing a five-year-old audit.

The mailer quotes outgoing State Auditor Brian Sonntag, a Democrat, who recently endorsed Bailey.

“I am supporting Barbara Bailey for State Senate because I know she will fight for more accountability and oversight of state government services — including the ferry system, which See MAIL, A11

The chase began just before 9 a.m. when a trooper saw the 1994 GMC pickup traveling 53 miles per hour in a 40 mph zone in the area of Crosby Avenue and Golf Course Road. The driver of the truck refused to pull over and the trooper gave chase, according to Trooper Keith

Leary said speeds reached up to 100 mph, but there was no traffic on the roads so the pursuit continued.

Impact Aid payment speeds up for Oak Harbor schools

Port Townsend terminal project begins next week

By NATHAN WHALEN

Work crews to replace 30-year-old span over the course of four months

Staff reporter

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Motorists will soon notice a tighter fit when they depart the ferry at Port Townsend.

Passengers and drivers will be departing and boarding the terminal using the narrower, one-traffic lane wide second slip at the Port Townsend terminal.

The main, two-lane slip will be closed for about four months while the ramp that leads from the ferry to the trestle is replaced.

“The span is at the end of its life,” said John Callahan, project engineer for Washington State Ferries.

Work to replace the ramp, which was originally built in 1982, is scheduled to take place the week of Nov. 12. An actual start date for the construction project hasn’t yet been determined.

The span, which was built in 1982, is operated by cables and counter weights and the new hydraulic span will be a safer system and require less people to operate it, Callahan said.

He said staff decided to wait until the reduction to one-boat service before starting the $5.6 million construction project because it wouldn’t affect the busy summer season.

Washington State Ferries officials are advising drivers and pedestrians to use caution and watch for construction equipment while on the ferry dock. Vehicles will be off-loaded from the ferry from the one-lane slip located farthest from the ferry termi-

Normal conditions will resume at the traffic light, according to Washington State Ferries.

Callahan said no sailings will be canceled because of the construction project. Larger commercial trucks might have a tight fight navigating the slip, but the ferry system has talked with nearby companies.

Construction was originally scheduled to begin Monday, but after what was described as miscommunication with the general contractor, that project has been delayed at least one week, said Laura Johnson, spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries.

Oak Harbor School District is set to receive a higher percentage of planned federal Impact Aid dollars.

The United States Department of Education will provide a higher percentage of Impact Aid payments due to the school district. The school district will receive at least 70 percent of the amount due rather than the 45 percent previously announced.

“It’s good news because we were told were going to get half that amount,” superintendent Rick Schulte said after Monday’s Oak Harbor School Board meeting.

Impact Aid is a federal pot of money for school districts that have significant populations of students from military families or from Indian reservations. Those students often live on federal lands, which don’t pay local property taxes and place a financial burden on local school districts.

The Oak Harbor School District budgeted to receive $4,091,000 in Impact Aid funds for the 2012-2013 school year and it has already received $2,326,000. The school district is getting less money budgeted because the government hasn’t passed an appropriations bill and the amount of Impact Aid money available was dictated by a continuing resolution, Schulte said.

Schulte mentioned that U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray were helpful in getting the percentage of Impact Aid payments increased.

“Impact Aid is a lifeline to school district that keeps teachers in our classrooms,” Larsen said in a press release.

“Too often schools are left hanging, not knowing when or if they will get the funding they need to keep operating.

This announcement goes a long way in providing schools the certainty they need to operate this year.”

The Oak Harbor School District had set aside approximately $1 million should Impact Aid funding drop.

There are still several questions left to be answered.

Schulte noted that he’s waiting to see if sequestration takes place at the beginning of the year, which is federal cuts and tax increases that could mean an 8.2 percent cut in Impact Aid for the school district.

He noted that the money the school district receives from Impact Aid has declined in recent years. The Oak Harbor School District is budgeting for more than $4 million during the current school year, but Schulte said the school district received $5.5 million five years ago.

The neighboring Coupeville School District also receives Impact Aid dollars, but a lesser amount. In 2012, the Central Whidbey-based school district is scheduled to receive $41,300.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the Transition of Expeditionary EA-6B Squadrons to EA-18G Growler at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.

The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) gives notice, per the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508, and Navy NEPA regulations in 32 CFR Part 775, that an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been released and a Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) has been issued for the proposed realignment and transition of Expeditionary Electronic Attack squadrons to Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.

The Navy released the Draft EA on July 27, 2012 and received public comments on the document from July 27 to August 31, 2012.

The EA evaluates the potential effects of implementing three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative to support the transition of the Expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island from the aging EA-6B Prowler to the newer EA-18G Growler in the 2012-2014 timeframe. The EA considered potential environmental impacts on airspace and airfield operations, noise, land use, threatened and endangered species and other biological resources, water resources, air quality, cultural resources, socioeconomics, and environmental management that would be associated with an increase in the number of aircraft, personnel transition, new construction or renovation of structures, and airfield operations necessary to accommodate the transition of Expeditionary VAQ EA-6B Prowler squadrons to EA-18G Growlers. The U. S. Navy determined that the proposed action will not significantly affect the environment.

Since this action would not entail significant impacts to the environment, the Navy has determined that the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is not required.

The EA, including the FONSI, can be viewed and downloaded at on the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest web site: https:// portal.navfac.navy.mil/portal/page/portal/navfac/NAVFAC_WW_PP/ NAVFAC_EFANW_PP. Copies of the EA and FONSI have been distributed to the following libraries: Oak Harbor Library, 1000 SE Regatta Dr., Oak Harbor, WA La Conner Regional Library, 614 Morris St., La Conner, WA Coupeville Library, 788 Alexander St., Coupeville, WA Anacortes Public Library, 1220 10th Street, Anacortes, WA A limited number of CDROMs are available to fulfill individual requests submitted in writing to: Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Public Works Department, Environmental Division, 1115 West Lexington Street, Oak Harbor, WA 98278.

Island County Commissioner District 2 (D) I Support Smart Growth

By Angie Homola In 2005 and 2006, the City of Oak Harbor wanted to expand its boundaries or “Urban Growth Area” (UGA), which is a required step toward city annexation. Citizens in opposition came out in droves. Due to overcrowding, the Fire Marshall shut down the first meeting. Public testimony and surveys of O.H. Chamber of Commerce members indicated overwhelming opposition to expansion until there is a proven need. People understood that big box stores hurt existing small businesses and reduce median household incomes. They also knew that expanding outward consumes productive farm and forestland and increases emergency service and utility taxes while driving down values and resale ability of existing properties. People were tired of the Build- or-Bust fiscal model that benefited a few to the detriment of many. As an architect, I knew we could do a better job of balancing the built and natural environments, so I ran to be your District 2 County Commissioner, and you elected me in 2009.

On Smart Growth: The Growth Management Act (GMA) was adopted in Washington State in 1990 because the Legislature found that “uncoordinated and unplanned growth pose a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development and the quality of life in Washington” (36.70A RCW). The GMA requires most cities and counties to create and periodically update extensive “Comprehensive Plans” which guide development under these 14 goals: sprawl reduction, environmental protection, economic development, affordable housing, property rights, open space and recreation, regional transportation, concentrated urban growth, public facilities and services, permit processing, early and continuous public participation, shoreline management, historic lands and buildings, and natural resource industries.

Cities must prove that they have run out of room before they can “grow” in area. Counties are responsible for allocating growth appropriately. My opponent, Jill Johnson, states, “Cities know what’s best and the County should let them decide”. That is not how state law works. I support law abiding and fiscally responsible decisions that will encourage long term economic vitality and prevent blighted communities, unnecessary tax increases and diminished quality of life.

If Counties do not follow the law, they wind up in costly lawsuits. In the last update, Oak Harbor indicated it had 106% capacity for growth through the year 2025; a figure based on a disputed methodology and old population forecasts. Since then 4,000 fewer people are projected. Therefore, the County Commissioners did not accept the expansion request. Oak Harbor appealed to the Growth Management Hearings Board, an action my opponent supported, which lost on all 16 issues it raised.

That’s a good indication that those of us opposed made the right decision about expansion. But the City has appealed to Superior Court with the outcome pending. My opponent supports this costly action too. This is a waste of taxpayers’ money and poor planning policy. We need to grow “Better, not Bigger”.

My goal is to bring the County and its cities together to plan wisely for what we want our islands to look like in 30 to 50 years. During the recession we cut 32% of the Planning Department’s budget, which now receives $162,000 of the General Fund. We cut 12% of the Sheriff’s budget, which now receives $5.5 million of the General Fund. Contrary to my opponent’s claim that permits are down and fewer planners are needed, in fact permit numbers are holding steady. Many are for remodels that are time consuming and bring in less revenue. Counties and cities are not allowed to use permit fees for long range planning even though this is a mandated function. Island County has one of the lowest staffed Planning Departments, per capita, in the state (our Sheriff and other departments are in the same boat). We must begin working on the next planning update now to meet the mandated deadline. We should have 5-6 planners to do this work. We currently have 2.

If we don’t like laws we need to change them, not ignore or break them. I have lobbied for regulatory relief that streamlines and simplifies regulations while keeping important protections in place. As islanders we have unique characteristics that are best addressed collectively for solutions that protect jobs and the environment. Our local builders care about our community and work hard to protect their investment and to make sure they will have ongoing business. We need to make every effort to support them first over outside developers.

Planning is just one area where county government plays an important role in citizens’ lives: there are many other critical functions, with law and justice remaining the top priority. I took an oath to abide by the law in overseeing the County’s budget, health, welfare, safety and growth. I strive to meet all of these mandates and to provide accurate information on the status of public services so that you can make informed decisions about what you want your County to look like in the future.

Some seem bent on painting me as an anti growth tree hugger. I hope this explains my support for smart growth. As for trees: they produce oxygen, filter carbon dioxide, prevent erosion and flooding, reduce noise and wind, and provide food and habitat. They deserve a hug.

I would be honored by your re-election vote – Angie Homola

“I think it was because of where she was,” she said. (The Rooks were deployed to the Arabian Gulf for Maritime Security Operations and to the North Arabian Sea to provide support for coalition forces in Afghanistan.)

There were a few other firsts at the homecoming.

Rick Quinn came down from Victoria to welcome his nephew, Lt. Cmdr. Michael Strauss. It was Quinn’s first visit to NAS Whidbey and his first homecoming.

There were no tricks but plenty of treats Wednesday as the Rooks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 137 returned to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island after an eight-month deployment on the USS Enterprise (CVN 65).

Cheers erupted from the small crowd gathered at Hangar 8 as the squadron was spotted on its approach for a diamond formation fly-over.

This was not the first separation for most of the families represented, perhaps with the exception of Patricia and Darwin Schussler of San Diego, Calif., who were on NAS Whidbey to welcome their daughter, Lt. Brigitte Fox, back from her first deployment.

There are also some things she won’t miss now that he’s home.

“It’ll be nice not having to talk in code,” she laughed.

“I’m looking forward to having some family time and just being home together,” said Desiree Elrod, who was there to greet her husband, Lt. Cmdr. Johnathan Elrod, along with the couple’s daughter, Elsa, 15 months.

This was the last deployment for VAQ-137 as a Prowler squadron. The group will now begin its transition to the EA-18G Growler.

The squadron logged 176 combat sorties and more than 1,100 combat hours during this deployment.

It is the end of an era for the USS Enterprise, the nation’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which will be retired Dec. 1 The rest of the squadron and support personnel were scheduled to return to NAS Whidbey Thursday.

IN OUR OPINION

Johnson and Price Johnson for commissioner The proof is in the primary. Republican Jill Johnson, an Oak Harbor native, deserves to represent District 2 on the Island County Board of Commissioners. She won the primary election, even though the conservative vote was split with another strong Republican challenger and an independent candidate who espoused conservative views. Only voters in her district, which is essentially Oak Harbor, could take part in the primary, though the general election will be countywide.

Oak Harbor residents deserve a voice that represents them, which is exactly what Johnson will do. Currently the director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, Johnson is smart and articulate. She would be a welcome and moderate voice on the board. Most importantly, she has a rich knowledge and a passion for the community she grew up in. She will represent Oak Harbor and the entire county fairly.

Incumbent Island County Commissioner Angie Homola, a Democrat, came in second in the primary election.

After nearly four years in office, less than a third of the voters in her home district felt she represented them well enough to deserve to be re-elected. She works hard and isn’t afraid to say what she believes, but unfortunately she is unflinching in her opinions about taxes, planning and law enforcement and other issues that are contrary to her constituents’ beliefs.

The other commissioner race is a different story.

Incumbent Democratic Commissioner Helen Price Johnson is well loved by the majority in her District 1 community. An amazing 55 percent of primary voters in the district cast ballots in her favor, even with four challengers who included fellow moderate Curt Gordon. It’s telling that Gordon, a well-known South Whidbey resident and port commissioner, endorsed her in the race. She has lived a lifetime on South Whidbey and understands firsthand the challenges of small business owners and developers.

Republican challenger Jeff Lauderdale is a serious candidate with some good ideas, but he doesn’t have the experience in local government or the knowledge of the community necessary to be effective. His budget-cutting message may have resonated four years ago, but there isn’t much left to pare away these days.

Letters to the editor Election

Report repeated party calls I am a registered member of the Democratic Party and have already voted in this election. That being said, I would like to know why I am being called by the Republican Party, particularly Barbara Bailey.

Even after I asked for no more phone calls, I have had more. I also have been inundated with mailings, again from Barbara Bailey. Those I just throw out.

The worst of this is, I received an email in an account that has been devoid of any political ads, from none other than Barbara Bailey.

How did her campaign get my email address? Has my voter registration been changed from Democratic Party to Republican Party?

Are my votes going to the candidates I choose?

With voter suppression rampant this year, perhaps we should all be aware. I encourage anyone who has experienced what I have to report it to your electoral authorities.

Johnson website takeover lost vote

I am deeply disappointed in you and your website. I was actually considering Jill Johnson until you desired to let her completely take over your web page.

I will now make sure that my vote will go to her opposing candidate.

You have fixed your page where, no matter where you touch it, you get an ad for her.

Shame on you for your favoritism.

Lucky to have Homola serving I’m glad to see in the voters guide, Jill Johnson believes, “It’s time we change the tone of leadership from confrontational and accusatory, to trusting and collaborative.”

That, together with her statement about Kelly Emerson being a cause for “buyers remorse” at the Elks club candidate’s forum in Oak Harbor on July 11, indicates that she is aware of who is creating the accusatory and confrontational atmosphere.

But then, is it trusting and collaborative to say about someone you may be working with in the future that there is “buyers remorse?”

Doesn’t sound so collaborative to me. Do you ever get the feeling that some politicians will say anything to try to pass muster? I do.

I have watched Angie

Homola in action a few times now and it’s my opinion that we are lucky to have her represent us. She reels off facts and figures and consequences on a moment’s notice and that’s because she’s studied the issues, she knows what she’s talking about. She’s articulate and smart and not shy of the truth.

Most of us are coming through the worst economic difficulties of our lives. To not recognize the dedication and resourcefulness of Angie’s commitment to our county’s wellbeing would be a waste of an exceptional commissioner. I have heard from many Island County employees that she is considered one of the best commissioners we have ever had. It’s important that we keep her. Vote for Angie!

Vote for those who improves finances “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Edmund Burke Such truth in 15 words: words that can make the difference between enthusiastic liberty and a life of apathy.

We are now at a historical juncture that can affect generations. Our state and nation are encumbered with entitlements and horrific debt.

My involvement in politics began 46 years ago with a Republican mother and Democrat father, both unabashed patriots. My father, a World War II vet, marched at Bataan and was a prisoner of war for more than two years. He changed to the Republican Party about the same time as Ronald Reagan and was a strong supporter of Reagan ideals, especially the character of America.

Through study I realized that success and happiness in the human condition are built upon self dependency and faith in God. Getting out of debt cycles and not viewing government as our benefactor is critical. We must be thinkers and problem solvers and teach our children to be the same.

Someone once said, “The soul is seldom sold in one great auction. It is bartered away in a thousand tiny trades, a little bit at a time.”

The same can be said of nations. We must vote for those who will lessen financial dependencies, make a positive future for our children and allow us to maintain the Judeo Christian ideals of our forefathers. We are “one nation under God.” Now more than ever, may God bless America.

Research ALEC before voting I recently watched an episode of PBS’s “Moyers and Company” that dealt with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

ALEC is a corporatefunded organization that puts lobbyists together with legislators from around the country in order to write “model” legislation that the ALEC members take back to their various legislatures and introduce as their “own” bills. This, of course, puts the corporate influence into the bill before it even gets to the

state legislature.

The show featured an interactive map that allowed viewers to see if any of their legislators were ALEC members. The map indicated that Barbara Bailey was a member of both ALEC and an ALEC task force — health and human services.

I called Rep. Bailey’s Oak Harbor office to ask if the map information was accurate. The person who answered the phone said yes, she did in fact hold those two memberships, among many others.

I would strongly urge anyone who is concerned about corporate influence and money on the democratic process to research ALEC and how it does business.

‘Dynamic duo’ has wrong priorities Island County commissioners Homola and Price Johnson have their priorities mixed up in more ways than one.

They deem an additional planner has a higher priority than what a sheriff’s deputy would provide for public safety. Public safety is required by the Constitution, whereas the planning function is not.

When Whidbey Camano Land Trust acquires property for public use, it is removed from the tax rolls and the tax burden is then indirectly transferred to the taxpayers.

Does that justify the dominant duo in the commissioners’ office taking thousands of tax dollars from the Conservation Futures Fund to fill the Land Trust coffers? That money came from the taxpayers for purposes other than bailing out a nonprofit organization!

The county health department has a mandatory annual inspection required of non-standard septic systems, while standard systems have inspections once every three years. Using that schedule, we owners of non-standard are charged three times more than standard system inspections.

This discriminatory treatment our commissioner duo ignore, since they consider income of greater importance than making the tax burden easier for taxpayers in difficult times.

Since their tenure in office, commissioners Homola and Price Johnson have drained what surplus funds there were to further programs that have insignificant value.

Thus there are budgetary problems while the county acquires more assets via transfers by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. Have the dominant duo thought of divesting the county of assets to be able to fund the budget without creating another tax or fee to saddle the taxpayers with?

It would seem logical that a public disclosure of where the Conservation Futures Funds are disbursed is necessary so the taxpayer can voice concern as to the use.

Besides the solar panel and ornate gate on the Trillium land approach, how much of the funds given to the Land Trust went for salaries and other purposes that the public is unaware of? Please refrain from the euphemism, “It is for the common good.”

That is so pompous sounding and disgustingly false!

Vote Johnson to go backwards A drive through Oak Harbor reveals volumes about the District 2 Commissioner race. It seems that almost every empty lot, owned by only a few developers, has an oversized Jill Johnson sign. These are some of the same people who want to extend urban sprawl out over farmlands and forests.

Rewind to the last election when voters were clear about their concerns for our farms, open space, property values and public health and safety.

They elected Angie Homola because she understood the effectiveness of transparent government, and had the visionary planning ability to develop our economy and maintain our quality of life.

A vote for Jill is a vote to return to an age of cronyism and backroom government, where the interests of a few will usurp the desires of many.

I prefer a commissioner who puts citizens first.

Maintain your voice in county government. Re-elect Angie Homola.

VOTING CONTINUED FROM A1 It’s still too soon to know just what areas are yielding the greatest returns as individual precinct data aren’t tabulated until after the election but Reagan said all of the county’s drop boxes are being steadily used.

They are located at Ken’s Korner Red Apple Grocery in Clinton, Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, at the

elections office in Coupeville, in front of city hall in Oak Harbor and at the Camano Island Annex on Camano Island.

This year’s General Election ballot includes choices for president of the United States, a congressional seat, multiple state offices including the race for governor, several county positions and a handful of state and local measures.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF RUTH WILLIAMS *12/15/27

Ruth Williams

Ruth Williams passed away October 24, 2012.

She battled a disease which comes for many with aging.

She was born Ruth Ellen Louise Köhne in Dusseldorf, Germany, December 15, 1927.

She spoke German, English, Russian, French and Latin. Because of her knowledge of the English language, she worked in Berlin, Germany for the American newspaper Stars and Stripes. This is where she met our father, High King Williams, Jr. Our Mother was both a proud American and a proud German. She loved both countries very much.

World War II was naturally quite difficult.

However she never forgot her childhood experiences with her many relatives.

She traveled to Germany quite often to keep in touch with her brother and his wife, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Ruth loved the season of Christmas as many Germans do. When possible she would attend the Christmas Eve services at her Lutheran Churches.

Before she and our father became too ill to work they both were active antique dealers, traveling the state of Texas participating in many antique shows. Another great passion were German Shepards.

Both parents were members of the San

Antonio German Shepard Club. Our Mother trained German Shepards for many years, something she truly loved.

Most of the family moved to Oak Harbor in 1991 leaving behind the Texas heat.

Ruth enjoyed politics, never hesitated stating her opinions, and appreciated organizations like Gold Star Wives and the Disabled American Veterans.

Ruth loved the color red and yellow roses and the beautiful song “Ave Maria.” She also enjoyed hats — hats of any shape and color.

Our Mother was strong, extremely intelligent and had a sense of humor.

Ruth is survived by her brother Helmut Köhne of Berlin Germany, two daughters Gene Liddy Reitnauer of Boyd, Texas and Linda Sue and Walt Mistler of Oak Harbor, Washington. Two grandsons and their wives William and Jessi Bustillo, of Spanaway, and Robert and Nicole Bustillo, of Oak Harbor. Four great grandchildren Payton Ivy, Harlen Macy, Jynzyn Highleigh and Autumn Renee Bustillo.

by Republican Dan Matthews for the District 2 congressional seat.

In the state Legislature, incumbent Norma Smith, R-Clinton, is hoping to retain Position 1 against political newcomer Aaron Simpson, D-Langley, while Tom Riggs, D-Camano and Dave Hayes, R-Camano, are vying for Position 2.

Incumbent Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano, is also fighting to keep the District 10 Senate seat against challenger Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor.

In Island County Commissioner races, Republican Jeff Lauderdale is hoping to unseat Democrat Helen Price Johnson in District 1 while Republican Jill Johnson is attempting to do the same to incumbent

Democrat Angie Homola in District 2.

Along with several state initiatives and referendums, South Whidbey voters will be deciding on a South Whidbey Fire/EMS levy lift proposition. The request is to raise the levy rate from about 61 cents to 76 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to pay for existing operations.

According to Reagan, the largest daily returns occur the day before, the day of and the day after the election.

Presidential years historically yield the greatest voter turnout, and if the pattern holds true, participation should be around 90 percent.

General elections in 2008, 2004 and 2000 all saw returns of about 89 percent. That stacks up to voter turnouts of 62 percent in 2011, 77 per-

Kirk Huffer, Elections Office administrator, hefts the bags used to transport ballots from collection boxes. As of Thursday, voter turnout was already at about 50 percent. cent in 2010 and 60 percent in 2009.

With all that presidential fervor, it’s been busy around the elections office lately but things have gone pretty smoothly so far. No major hiccups yet, according to Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider.

“We’re very pleased,” Crider said. “The work flow is going well, there have been no issues and people are participating.”

Crider gave a shout out to the team of about 10 volun-

“Their experience enables us to process the ballots and do the work in rapid time,” Crider said.

“They are incredible for us,” she said.

Mail ballots must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, Nov. 6, to be counted. If using a drop-box, ballots must be inserted by 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Everett chases Oak Harbor from district tournament

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Everett abruptly ended Oak Harbor’s volleyball season by eliminating the Wildcats 3-1 at the district tournament Thursday at Glacier Peak High School.

The Wildcats weren’t able to match Tuesday’s opening performance at district when they played some of their best volleyball of the season, particularly on defense, according to coach Kerri Molitor. Oak Harbor upset Meadowdale 3-2 and then went toe-to-toe with top seed Stanwood before falling 3-1.

Oak Harbor (8-9) needed to defeat Everett (11-7) to stay alive in the tournament, but the Seagulls took the match 25-16, 11-25, 25-22, 25-22.

Everett then lost to Glacier Peak 3-2, with the Grizzlies claiming the third and final Wesco spot in the state tournament.

Shorewood defeated Stanwood 3-0 for the district title; both will advance to state.

Defense was the key in the Everett/Oak Harbor match.

Everett was able to consistently dig Oak Harbor’s hot shots, something Meadowdale and Stanwood had trouble with Tuesday, according to Molitor. Oak Harbor’s defense, especially its rotation for court coverage, suffered against the

Seagulls, she added.

Each team cruised to easy wins the first two games. In the first set, the two teams were tied 7-7, then Everett went on a 9-2 run to pull away.

Oak Harbor fell behind 2-0 in the second game then erupted behind Kayleigh Harper’s five kills, four blocks and ace to swamp the Seagulls.

In game three, no team led by more than two as they tussled to a 15-15 tie. Everett surged to a 20-16 lead, but the Wildcats knotted it at 22 with the help of two kills each by Harper and Roshel Muzzall. Three Everett kills then sewed up the set.

Harper and Roshel Muzzall each had six kills in the game.

Three kills by Harper and a kill and ace by Kelsey Rankin lifted Oak Harbor to a 9-5 lead in game four. Everett eventually tied it at 13 then inched ahead for the win, despite seven kills by Harper and six

by Muzzall.

For the match, Harper had 21 kills and Muzzall 19, while Taylor Nienhuis had 35 assists.

Muzzall and Hannah Salmons had 14 digs each.

The Wildcats played without starting outside hitter Amelia Berner who rolled an ankle last week. Middle Claire Anderson saw very limited

other bowling stopped as all eyes were on Cochran.

“I didn’t see them,” he said. “I was able to concentrate, and didn’t know anyone was behind me until I turned around. This time I didn’t choke.”

Cochran carries a 206 average and has no idea how many games he has rolled in his life. He worked at Oak Bowl for several years and used to bowl 20 games a day. He also served as an instructor at the Dick Ritger Academy, a nationally recognized bowling school.

Cochran bowls perfect game After several near misses, Jim Cochran finally achieved the bowler’s dream: a 300 game.

Cochran rolled the perfecto Wednesday during league play at Oak Bowl.

Cochran, 70, has been bowling since 1980 and three times started a game with an open frame and then followed with 11 consecutive strikes. Other times, he said, he faltered in the 10th frame.

The loss finished the career for seven seniors: Muzzall, Rankin, Nienhuis, Salmons, Stephanie Milliron, Ally McGuire and Hannah Christensen.

Molitor said it was tough to see the group go: “They are great kids.”

Oak Harbor started the tournament Tuesday at Marysville-Pilchuck High School with a comeback 3-2 win over Meadowdale (14-25, 25-20, 18-25, 25-17, 15-12).

Molitor said after the match, “Overall, the team played the best we’ve seen all season...

Our offense is strong. Last night (Tuesday), we backed it up with defense.”

Things began poorly for Oak Harbor, losing big in the first set to the Mavericks.

Molitor said her club was nervous early and made “a ton of unforced errors.” Once the Wildcats settled in, they began to take control.

One of the keys to the victory, Molitor said, was the defensive play of Salmons (24 digs) and Muzzall (34 digs).

Molitor said, “We began playing more disciplined on defense…If we can dig it up, our offense with Kayleigh Harper and Roshel Muzzall is hard to beat.”

Harper blasted 24 kills and Muzzall 16 while Taylor

Jim Cochran bowled a perfect game Wednesday at Oak Bowl.

There’s more than one way to put a turkey on your table for Thanksgiving. Rather than head to the grocery store, thousands of hunters plan to get their bird during the hunting season for wild turkey that gets under way Nov. 20 in Eastern Washington.

Then again, who says turkey has to be the center of attention on Thanksgiving Day? November is also prime time to hunt ducks, geese, elk, deer, pheasant, forest grouse and a variety of other game around the state.

“Waterfowl hunting usually picks up around the middle of the month, when the wet and windy weather starts pushing more migrating birds into the area from the north,” said Don Kraege, waterfowl manager for the Washington Department

Nienhuis dished 45 assists.

In the fifth and deciding game, Christensen came up with several key blocks.

“This forced their hitters to struggle,” Molitor said, “and resulted in additional hitting errors which we capitalized on. As impressive as our hits were, defense won this game for us.”

Harper also had six blocks and three aces.

Molitor called the Stanwood match a “heavyweight fight” with each team trading blows with big kills.

For the third time this season, Stanwood topped Oak Harbor, this time winning 25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-21. In the Spartans’ nine set wins against the Wildcats this year, seven have been by four points or less.

Molitor said, “Blocking was definitely a factor in this match. Although we record only the blocks that score points, our blockers stopped a lot of balls that were then dug by Stanwood.”

Both teams dug hard-hit attacks that led to long rallies, Molitor said. “It was really what volleyball was meant to be. It was so exciting. I am so proud of our team.”

Harper had 30 kills, 19 digs and six blocks; Muzzall added 17 kills and 23 digs; Christensen collected three blocks; and Nienhuis had 48 assists.

of Fish and Wildlife. “That’s good news for waterfowl hunters from the Skagit Valley to the Columbia Basin.”

November is also prime time to hunt deer and elk on both sides of the Cascades.

For anglers, Thanksgiving traditionally marks the start of winter steelhead fishing in Western Washington. On the eastside, anglers are still reeling in high numbers of hatchery-reared summer steelhead.

Rather serve shellfish? Most areas of Puget Sound are currently open for crab fishing, and two multi-day razor clam digs are scheduled at various ocean beaches in November.

Meridian swamps Coupeville in soggy play-in game

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The going was tough for Coupeville on a muddy Blaine High School football field as the Wolves fell 34-6 to Meridian in a district play-in game Tuesday.

The Coupeville/Meridian matchup was the first of two two-quarter “games.”

After defeating Coupeville, Meridian went on to nip Blaine 15-14 in another mini game to pick up the district’s third and final spot in the round of 32 of the state playoffs.

The loss eliminated Coupeville from postseason play and placed the Wolves (2-7) in a game with another non-playoff team, Chimacum (4-5), at 5 p.m. today in Port Townsend.

Coupeville couldn’t get any traction against Meridian, rushing for a minus 13 yards on 12 carries. Three different quarterbacks threw 19 passes, completing six for 66 yards and one interception.

The Trojans powered through the swampy field for 175 rushing yards and passed for 69 yards on four of 10 throws.

The opening drive for both teams set the tone for the game. Meridian went 70 yards in 13 plays, converting a fourth down along the way, to go up 7-0.

The first play for Coupeville was a snap over the quarterback’s head for a nine-yard loss.

Meridian scored on every possession except for a lost fumble and when the clock ran out at the end of the game.

The Wolves punted after their first possession, and the Trojans went 51 yards in eight plays for its next score, an 18-yard pass. The PAT kick was wide.

It was four-and-out for Coupeville, but Meridian fumbled the ball right back.

The Wolves picked up a first down on a 37-yard Jake Tublin to Riley Body pass, then the drive fizzled at the

Coupeville’s Jake Tumblin, center, looks for running room as Ben Haight, left, sets up to block in Tuesday’s play-in game.

Trojan 30 on a short run and three straight incompletions.

The Trojans iced the game early in the second quarter.

After scoring to go up 20-0, they returned a fumble on Coupeville’s first play for another TD to lead 27-0.

The Wolves followed with their only scoring drive,

which was aided by two personal foul penalties and two pass interference calls on the Trojans. The big play was a 20-yard pass from Tumblin to Boyd. Gunnar Langvold passed three yards to Wiley Hesselgrave for the score.

Boyd then recovered an onside kick, but the Wolves

went four and out. From there, Meridian ran two plays, the final one 33 yards for the last score.

Coupeville’s last possession ended in an interception.

Coupeville coach Tony Maggio, noting his injuryriddled team was down to 21

players, said, “We didn’t have the firepower. They were bigger, stronger, faster.”

Maggio saw several positives in the game: “I thought we threw the ball well at the end. I thought the offensive line did a good job picking up the blitz; it was just a tough night to throw.”

MAIL CONTINUED FROM A1 desperately needs it,” Sonntag said.

But the problem, as Haugen sees it, is that the mailer makes it seem as if she didn’t follow the recommendations of the audit.

It states “over $100 million could be saved” and offers “potential cost savings” if the audit recommendations were followed.

In fact, the savings weren’t potential, but implemented. Haugen said she worked closely with the State Auditor’s Office five years ago to implement the reforms that Sonntag proposed in his 2007 audit of the ferry system.

“The truth of the matter is, we have not only implemented all of his recommendations, but many more,” she

LEVY CONTINUED FROM A1 cards to Toppins and the Rusty Chandelier.

Both Wasinger and Goebel attended a recent Oak Harbor School Board meeting to highlight the group’s participation in the homecoming parade and volunteer efforts selling T-shirts and sweatshirts.

The four-year levy will maintain 20 current teacher positions and restore 10 teaching positions previously eliminated due to reductions in state funding.

The levy would also provide $2.3 million in textbook and technology purchases; $700,000 for athletics, music and tutoring; $500,000 for special education teachers; and $1.6 million for maintenance and custodial.

In addition to the levy

CRASH CONTINUED FROM A1 The driver lost control at the intersection of West Beach and Hastie Lake roads and plowed through a yard before hitting a brick house.

The driver fled from the scene on foot. He was described as a white man in his 30s.

said. “We actually got started before he even got those recommendations to us.”

Even more galling, Haugen said, is Bailey’s hypocrisy on the issue. She points out that Bailey voted against one of the main reforms of the system, promoted by Haugen, which “has succeeded in improving staffing structures and reducing overhead costs,” according to a press release from Haugen.

Ironically, the mailer criticizes Haugen over this specific issue.

Bailey also voted against a 2012 bill funding construction of new ferries for Whidbey Island, which were partially built on Whidbey Island, Haugen emphasized.

Bailey and Sonntag did not return requests for comment.

Sonntag was directed by voters in Initiative 900 to audit various state offices, including the ferry service.

He identified millions of

dollars of waste and recommended a long list of reforms, including lowering overhead costs and making better use of existing resources, according to the mailer.

Haugen had previously criticized Bailey over a negative mailer that was sent out prior to the primary election. Bailey said she had no knowledge of the piece, which was put out by the Good Government Leadership Council.

But this time, the mailer was paid for by the State Republican Party as an inkind contribution to Bailey’s campaign, which means she had the opportunity to review and approve the content, according to Haugen’s campaign spokesman.

The race between Haugen and Bailey has significance beyond the 10th District as it could be one of the seats which tilt the balance of the state senate to Republicans.

If approved, it will cost the owner of a $250,000 home $495 per $1,000 assessed property value.

Organizers for the levy committee are busy preparing the campaign. They have 1,500 signs for people to place in yards and on the sides of roads throughout the district.

They said they decided to wait until after voting of the General Election took place before starting their promotional work.

“When these campaigns end, we’re going to start,” Superintendent Rick Schulte said during Monday’s board meeting.

School officials are also busy informing folks about the facts surrounding the proposal. Schulte said he and assistant superintendent Lance Gibbon have spoken to community groups about

the levy and they are looking for more speaking engagements.

Schulte said that he’s received a warm reception from the groups he has spoken with.

Wasinger noted that there will be challenges running a campaign over the busy holiday season, but said volunteers will make a push to promote the levy before the absentee ballots are mailed in late January.

The truck belonged to Michael Hurley, the pastor at Life Church on Regatta Drive.

He said he had just reported the truck stolen when dispatchers advised him to go to the scene of the accident.

He said the truck was totaled, but the house sustained minor damage. The residents were inside on the couch when the truck hit, shaking the house.

“The bummer is that the church needs my truck all the time,” he said. “Now I’m out a truck and the church is out a truck.”

There’s a mailer featuring Haugen inside a giant ball of twine, a badly Photoshopped image of mismatched arms with hands over her ears and a bulldozer pushing bags of money into Deception Pass. One even has Haugen’s face on Mount Rushmore.

“I don’t know if people are paying attention to this stuff,” Haugen said.

Two unique artists light up Garry Oak Gallery during November

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Their media of choice may be at opposite ends of the spectrum, but both Mike O’Connell and Joel Griffith will ignite viewers’ imagination as the featured artists for November at Garry Oak Gallery in Oak Harbor.

O’Connell’s paintings are as ordinary as watching a zombie dog walk down the street — though his latest artwork does feature

zombie dogs. From Mount St. Helens exploding to the names of punk bands and quotes from movies to a jet approaching the Twin Towers, O’Connell’s art boldly walks the edge.

“It’s just lots of little pieces, bits and pieces,” O’Connell said. Like many of his paintings, it appears to be a big circle. But upon closer inspection, the painting consists of about 30,000 characters with pathways

and spaces created by “H’s” and quotes from movies like “Repo Man,” TV shows like “Dead Like Me” and “South Park,” the Hindenburg catching fire, the major disappearances from the Bermuda Triangle, clocks and even the names of people who passed O’Connell painting on the street.

“Any time I see a license plate on a movie, I’ll write the number down and put it in a painting,” O’Connell said. “It’s like a giant, insane jigsaw puzzle.”

While this piece won’t be finished until the end of the year, similar pieces can

be viewed at Garry Oak Gallery, where this piece will spend some time before it sells.

“I just love working on them. It’s something to do everyday,” O’Connell said.

Similar to these pieces are O’Connell’s visual stories of the character Helen.

“She’s been to Mars, she’s been to the moon,” O’Connell said, adding that Helen’s ghost story is currently on display at Garry Oak Gallery.

Pumpkin season is a reminder to help youth in need “Oh how I love Pumpkin Season.

You did know this gourd-ish squash has its own season — winter, spring, summer, pumpkin!”

–Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer I usually move kicking and screaming into pumpkin season, for I adore the moderate days that characterize Whidbey summers. I love exploring beaches and eating crab out on our picnic table. The long days contribute to my level of energy and enthusiasm. Even moving about is easy. Light sweaters and flip flops replace my waterproof jacket, scarves, and boots.

only occasional winds have gifted us with a glorious show of color that stop me in my tracks as I come and go about Oak Harbor. I take photos and collect leaves. I peruse my cookbooks for hot cider recipes, stews and breads.

And I think about pumpkins. I blame Starbucks. I don’t recall any particular fondness for pumpkins until Starbucks began featuring their pumpkin spice lattes each

fall. This seasonal addition to their espresso menu reminds me that some of the best times of my life are indeed spent indoors, across the table from a friend, sipping coffee and talking about our lives.

Pumpkin season 2012 is beautiful and enticing because pumpkin has woven its way into so much of what we are eating. Last week we made pumpkin muffins. On Saturday I was treated to a pumpkin malted milkshake that can only be described as divine. We’ve also enjoyed pumpkin English muffins and pancakes and cookies.

Last week we leaped puddles up at Dugualla Bay Farms, picked out pumpkins for carving, and thoroughly enjoyed the sights and sounds they offered. On

Wednesday, before trick or treating, we covered the kitchen table with newspaper and carved our selections. We will turn off all the house lights and enjoy their glow each evening during the next few days.

There are many reasons for us to enjoy all that pumpkin season has to offer, but our great motivator this year is the recent addition to our family of a child. Empty nesting became our new normal two years ago following the high school graduation of our last child. My husband and I enjoyed the freedom and it followed the natural order of things.

In May, I met Lori Cavender, executive director of Ryan’s House.

I learned that we have shelters

for animals but none for children.

We have 86 students attending Whidbey Island schools who are unaccompanied homeless youth.

I also learned that it is not uncommon for teens taken into foster care to be shipped off our island because there are almost no homes qualified and willing to take a teenager.

Armed with this information, my husband and I began making phone calls and asking questions.

We began praying and soul searching and talking with social workers.

This week we carved pumpkins with a remarkable new family member. We face painted, drank pumpkin shakes, and celebrated pumpkin season as we have never celebrated before.

When people view his imaginative art, O’Connell said he wants viewers to “just be entertained and look for things you wouldn’t notice.”

O’Connell has been painting for about 16 years. He started in oils but after a five-year bout of depression that kept him from painting, he came back to painting only to find his paints gone.

“Then I started in acrylics and never looked back,” O’Connell said. He has lived on the island off and on since 1953.

2013 OAK HARBOR COMREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS The City of Oak Harbor is initiating its annual Comprehensive Amendment Process. The amendment process begins with a call for applications from the public requesting changes to the Plan. The requests are then compiled into a docket that is reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. The City Council approves a final docket in March 2013.

R e q u e s t fo r c h a n g e s can be made to any aspect of the Comprehensive Plan. However, the application requirements differ for private amendments and public amendments. An example of a private amendment is a request to change a land use designation for a property a n d a n ex a m p l e o f a public amendment would be a request to change the density requirements for a par ticular zoning district. For more information on public amendments please contact city staff. Information regarding this can also be found in the Oak Harbor Municipal Code Chapter 18.15.060.

Applications are now bei n g a c c e p t e d fo r t h e 2 0 1 3 C o m p r e h e n s i ve Plan Amendments. The application for private amendments (land use changes) is currently available at the City Hall and on the City’s website. Land owners can request changes to their property’s land use designation as part of the amendment process.

The deadline for applications is December 3, 2012 5pm.

The process to consider amendments to the Comprehensive Plan is a year long process. All applications received will be placed on a docket with other mandator y and discretionary items.

The docket will then be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council through a public hearing process before approval. The process is designed to provide opportunities for public par ticipation at var ious stages of the process.

Please contact Cac Kamak, Senior Planner, at (360) 279-4514 if you have questions.

They may not claim to be the “best political team on television,” but as Oak Harbor High School students present live election night coverage Tuesday night, they might lay claim to the youngest.

Students from Jim Crouch’s American government class are teaming up with Wildcat TV again to provide national, state and local coverage of election results Tuesday night, competing with the likes of CNN, CBS and NBC. Yet Wildcat TV can offer something the big networks can’t: live coverage of Island County and local elections.

There will be a phone number and email address for viewers to call with their comments and questions.

Students will read the comments on air and the student panel will discuss the issues brought up. Coverage runs

“I was looking for a way to get my students to understand the significance of this election and the impact on them,” American government teacher Jim Crouch said in a press release.

“The last time we did this was four years ago,” said video production teacher Chris Douthitt in a press release. “This time we’re introducing some new technology for the students to use and thanks to the Oak Harbor community we now have a real TV studio to work in. This broadcast is a way to give back to the voters and pay it forward to the students at the same time.”

The show will also stream live over the Internet. Viewers can go to www.useducationtv. com and link to Oak Harbor High School to tune in.

from 7:30 to 10 p.m. The public can join in by calling 279-5808 after 7:30 p.m. or sending an email to wildcat tv@ohsd.net. Wildcat TV can be seen throughout Whidbey on Comcast Channel 21.

Like the major networks, students will provide live updates showing election results, starting with national numbers out east and moving through to the western states, finishing up with Washington statewide voting and Whidbey Island local results. The students will report on election results and their impacts.

In class, students voted on the top five issues that were important to them, including jobs and economy, education and more. Students will report on how the candidates will directly impact the nation, the state and the community, as well as the impact of the
