with the event, that had a few minor glitches.

Due to some equipment problems, the horse-drawn carriage wasn’t able to make the event.

Carolers offered festive music as the crowds made way into shops and down to find Santa.

Pictures with Santa were offered for $10. The photographer taking the images donated the proceeds to the event.

All donations went to Garage of Blessings, a charitable thrift store that offers free clothes, household items, appliances, food and much more to the community. It’s located inside a

garage on Industrial Avenue off Goldie Road.

While there isn’t an official count on how many people attended the event, Jones said the crowd was twice the size then previous years.

In its third year, Holiday Magic on Pioneer Way continues to grow.

Jones said he’s already been contacted by people with ideas for next year, including a gingerbread building contest.

“We’ll plan all year for it,” he said. “More people want to be involved.”

“I’ve gotten a lot of support from the city and businesses.”

Deputy lawsuit sites sick pay violations

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The Island County Deputy Sheriff’s Guild has filed a second lawsuit against the county, this time over workers’ compensation and sick pay.

Oak Harbor attorney Chris Skinner filed the complaint for improperly withheld wages, declaratory judgment and permanent injunction in Skagit County Superior Court Nov. 19. The lawsuit names the guild and four deputies as plaintiffs.

This is the second lawsuit the guild filed against the

county in November. The guild’s attorney filed a complaint for contempt, declaratory and injunctive relief and damages in Snohomish County Superior Court Nov. 16. The lawsuit alleges that the county violated the Open Public Records Act and blocked arbitration.

It was a magical night on Pioneer Way Saturday.

Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people gathered in downtown Oak Harbor to celebrate the start of the holiday season.

Holiday Magic on Pioneer Way raised an estimated $1,000 for charity and brought out record crowds, according to Brian Jones, event planner.

“It went really well,” he said. “I’m just really glad people came out and supported the event.”

“I just really want it to be something that pulls people together.”

People started gathering on Pioneer Way shortly after 5 p.m., bringing with them excitement and holiday cheer.

Oak Harbor Middle School band played music as the crowd grew, waiting for Santa’s arrival and the official tree lighting.

Santa arrived in style, escorted in a fire truck.

Children watched in wonder and excitement as Santa made his way down Pioneer Way, stopping at a giant Christmas tree.

After a few holiday songs, Santa helped light the tree, which was adorned with a giant white star.

Jones said he was happy

A public memorial for 23-year-old Christopher Cooper is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7 at the Football Bat Sports Bar and Grill in Oak Harbor.

A graveside service for close family and close friends will be 2 p.m. Friday at the Maple Leaf Cemetery.

Cooper, a graduate of Oak Harbor High School, passed away at Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle Nov. 29 after suffering serious head injuries in a fight.

He was found unconscious in a parking lot on Pioneer Way early in the morning of Nov. 17.

Jason Youngsman, the general manager of the Football Bat, welcomes people to attend the memorial event and remember the young

man who was known as a loyal friend and a “stand-up guy.”

Youngsman said he was very close with Cooper and felt like a father figure to the young man.

He was Cooper’s bowling coach in high school and was a teammate on the Wes Anderson Memorial League in Skagit County.

In fact, Cooper lived with Youngsman for a couple of years in high school after his mother moved so he could graduate in Oak Harbor.

“He was charismatic and a hard worker,” he said. “Just an all-around great kid and a great bowler.”

Youngsman said the community has rallied to support the Cooper family.

Fundraisers at the Football Bat and the bowling league have raised $3,400.

Coupeville council approves curbside recycling program

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Mandator y curbside recycling was ushered into Coupeville last week to the tune of “yeahs” and clapping from town council members.

After years of working on the proposal with the town’s hauler, Island Disposal, the council voted unanimously to approve a new contract with the firm that includes curbside pickup.

“I’m so excited about this,” Councilwoman Molly Hughes said.

“I’m so happy we got this done,” echoed Councilman Bob Clay, who also serves as mayor pro-tem.

Beginning in 2013, the new contract will make curbside recycling mandatory for all Coupeville residents who live inside town limits, just as trash pick up with the hauler is currently required.

To implement the new

service, customers will see a monthly increase on their bills of $7.10.

Customers are billed once ever y two months, however, so the increase will show up as $14.20.

Also, as a new contract, the cost of regular garbage service will also increase across the board, regardless of the frequency of pick up.

Kent Kovalenko, a district manager for Waste Connections, parent company of Island Disposal, was at the meeting and estimated the increase at about 2.1 percent.

The frequency of trash pick up will still be selected by customers, but curbside recycling will be ever y other week. Customers will be provided a bin — standard size is 96-gallons — for their recycables.

A variety of plastics, paper products, aluminum and tin cans can be tossed in together. Glass is excluded.

Because sorting is not required, recycling companies have found glass inevitably breaks in the bins and the shards contaminate other products and damage expensive equipment.

That shortcoming has been one of the major obstacles facing curbside programs pitched in recent years.

It helped derail a nearly identical program proposed for Island County in 2012, a program being considered again.

Langley is included in that plan and although the city council voted just this month to endorse the proposal, it was not a unanimous decision due to the glass issue.

No one from the public was at Coupeville’s meeting, but it is a source of concern for some residents.

She said she worried that she’d end up still making trips to the recycle center, despite the new program.

“If you are going to come, you might as well bring everything else,” she

said.

The issue was discussed again last week.

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said the plan is to mitigate the problem with a separate container in town at a yet to be determined location.

NAS Whidbey bids farewell to retiring commander

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

Hundreds gathered Friday at the Skywarrior Theater on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island for a dual ceremony.

Not only was Cmdr.

Charles Murphy relieved as commanding officer of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit in a traditional Change of Command ceremony, he also said goodbye to the U.S. Navy after 33 years of service.

“Cmdr. Murphy has been an inspirational leader,” said Capt. Katherine Erb, guest speaker for the event and Executive Officer of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training in Pensacola, Fla. “I am proud of your many accomplishments,” she continued. “You worked hard to deliver and you made sure the training was relevant.”

Murphy, who assumed command of CNATTU in June 2011, shared words of thanks with many people in the audience, who included fellow officers, enlisted personnel, civilian instructors

and guests. He said his time at the helm of CNATTU, which provides aircraft maintenance training, firefighting, air launched weapons training, electronic warfare training and much more to personnel in the region, has been an exceptional experience.

“The time has flown by and this has been an incredible tour,” Murphy said. “I’m leaving feeling glad and honored to have served with you.”

Murphy said he had received the benefit of his staff’s hard work over the past 18 months, on and off the base.

“We put in more than 8,100 hours of community service. We are part of the community,” he said. “But there remains much to be done, and Cmdr. Arkins is the man who can do the job.”

Command of CNATTU now shifts to Cmdr. Luke Arkins, who enlisted in the Navy in 1981 and received his commission under the Limited Duty Officer program.

“Luke, I see great things in your future,” said Erb. “Your leadership will inspire CNATTU to be the best.”

Arkins had words of praise for his predecessor.

“Thanks so much for the outstanding career of service you’ve given this great nation,” he said to Murphy.

“I promise to do my best to keep your tradition of excellence going at CNATTU. Following the formal change of command, Murphy took the stage once more as gears shifted and the gathering became his retirement ceremony.

“There is no doubt I have been blessed to serve with some of the finest sons and daughters America has produced,” he said.

Capt. Erb presented Murphy with a certificate of service from President Obama, as well as a letter of appreciation from Gov. Christine Gregoire, a certificate of retirement, a presentation from the Chief’s Mess and the traditional shadowbox.

Cmdr. Charles Murphy, center, waits for the retirement portion of the dual ceremony held Friday at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Skywarrior Theater. Capt. Katherine Erb, left, was the guest speaker. Cmdr. Luke Arkins, right, took over command of CNATTU. “Old Glory,” was held as CNATTU personnel passed a folded flag down each aisle.

Murphy also acknowledged his wife of nearly 30 years, Loida and the couple’s two sons, Andrew, 26 and Kyle, 17.

At several moments

throughout the ceremony, Murphy became overcome with emotion, especially when talking of his wife.

“There is no way I would be here today without her,” he said. “I have had a host of mentors and I can’t thank all of them enough for what they did for me and for my

family.”

With that, the side boys took their positions and Murphy walked down the gangway.

“The Navy is stronger due to your leadership and personal efforts,” Erb said.

“Best of luck. I wish you fair winds and following seas.”

Be safe when using holiday decorations this season The State Fire Marshal’s office would like to remind residents to be fire safe with their holiday decorations this season, especially Christmas trees.

If your household includes a natural tree in its festivities, keep the tree well-watered.

Improper care and decoration of a live or artificial tree can lead to catastrophic fires.

“It takes only seconds for a tree to ignite and the entire room to become engulfed in flames,” said State Fire Marshal Charles Duffy.

By following some of the outlined precautionary tips, individuals can ensure a safe and happy holiday.

If many needles fall off, the tree has been cut too long, has probably dried out, and is a fire hazard.

Selecting a Tree for the Holiday Needles on fresh trees should be green and hard to pull back from the branches, and the needle should not break if the tree has been freshly cut.

The trunk should be sticky to the touch. Old trees can be identified by bouncing the tree trunk on the ground.

Caring for Your Tree Do not put your live tree up too early or leave it up for longer than two weeks. Keep the tree stand filled with water at all times.

Keep away from heat sources including fireplaces and heat vents. The heat will dry out the tree, causing it to be more easily ignited by heat, flame or sparks. Be

careful not to drop or flick cigarette ashes near a tree.

Disposing of Your Tree Never put tree branches or needles in a fireplace or wood burning stove. When the tree becomes dry, discard it promptly. The best way to dispose of your tree is by taking it to a recycling center or having it hauled away by a community pick-up service.

Maintain Your Holiday Lights Inspect holiday lights each

year for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and excessive kinking or wear before putting them up.

Use only lighting listed by an approved testing laboratory.

Do Not Overload Electrical Outlets Do not link more than three light strands, unless the directions indicate it is safe. Connect strings of lights to an extension cord before plugging the cord into the

outlet.

Make sure to periodically check the wires — they should not be warm to the touch.

Use Only Nonflammable Decorations All decorations should be nonflammable or flameretardant.

Artificial Christmas Trees If you are using a metallic or artificial tree, make sure it is flame-retardant.

Lions club designs and installs scene change mechanism

By ELISABETH MURRAY

See the roll-drop in action

Staff reporter

The stage is built. Lines are memorized. And the roll-drop is ready to go for the Christmas production of “Fruitcakes” at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor, currently showing.

The mechanism allows for fast scene changes and was built by the Central Whidbey Lions Club.

“Rapid scene changes are a must to hold the audience’s attention,” said Jim Rich, Central Whidbey Lions Club member.

According to Rich, the rolldrop offers the Playhouse the ability to add greater diversity and depth to productions.

The fabric can be painted and repainted to create “soft scenery” for different productions.

When designing the mechanism for scene changes, the Lions focused on creating something safe to operate and affordable.

A manual drop can be dangerous — especially if operated by inexperienced volun-

“Fruitcakes” runs through Dec. 22.

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

Saturday, Dec. 22 show is at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $16.

For tickets and information contact 679-2237 or office@whidbeyplayhouse.com.

The Playhouse is located at 730 SE Midway Blvd., Oak Harbor.

teers, Rich said.

The Lions ended up adapting a tube motor to their own design that only moves when the power is applied, solving the safety issue, he said.

The cost per 20-foot rolldrop mechanism was about $550, significantly less than what those manufactured for professional theater cost, he said.

The roll-drop’s lightweight design — as compared to heftier professional theater systems — is also an advantage, he said. It will allow for the roll-drop to be more easily repositioned.

The Playhouse’s stage gets reconfigured between pro-

Chorus’ music spreads the joy of Christmas

ductions, of which there are about six each year.

“The United States Institute for Theatre Technology is excited about this,” Rich said.

“This (design) gives high schools and community theaters who can’t afford to buy from a stage equipment manufacturer the opportunity to build a roll-drop at an affordable price.”

An article written by Rich about the design of the rolldrop will be in the November issue of Sightlines, the publication for USITT members.

The Central Whidbey Lions Club also helped build the set for the “Fruitcakes” performance.

IN OUR OPINION

BBBS is a program community should be supporting I was fortunate as a child to have parents who were actively involved.

My mom helped me sell Girl Scout Cookies, my dad planned all our camping trips and they were at every tee ball game.

It’s important for children to have positive adult role models in their lives.

I was lucky to have two active parents. Not every child is.

Last Friday I attended Festival of Trees, a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County.

It was a night of dinner, drinks, laughter and fun — all for a good cause.

An estimated $95,000 was raised from the live and silent auctions.

That’s roughly 50 percent of the chapter’s annual operating budget.

The event just oozed giving. From $100 raffle tickets for first dibs on the beautifully decorated trees to battles over who is going to spend the most for a Maltese puppy, it was all in the spirit of charity.

The organization operates across the country and in many countries across the world.

Carefully screened adults are paired with children who may not have the most stable home life or any home life for that matter.

The Island County Chapter was founded 14 years ago and started making matches in February 1999.

According to outgoing Executive Director Peggy Dyer, there are currently 160 active matches.

Those matches are a combined effort between community and school-based matches.

Dyer said the organization averages 250 matches each year. Currently there are 73 kids on a list, waiting to be matched with an adult.

While not everyone can attend an event such as Festival of Trees and drop large sums of money, there are ways to get involved.

The organization needs adults who can be positive influences in these children’s lives.

It’s frequently said that the children are our future. We should be supporting them.

And we can, with our time.

Learn how to get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County by going to www.bbbsislandcounty.org or call 360-279-0644 the North Whidbey office in Oak Harbor or 360-221-6808 ext. 5417 for the South Whidbey office in Langley.

Letters to the editor Urge parks board to investigate thoroughly Several years ago, my wife and I retired to Oak Harbor. We have both used the pool for therapy for our arthritis and lap swimming.

We are also taxpayers and voters and have neighbors who have been involved with the pool longer than we’ve been living here.

That being said, I feel there are a couple of issues being left unaddressed in this situation with Neil Romney and Vikki Robinson.

First of all, I was lap swimming this week and witnessed an AfricanAmerican girl teaching swim lessons and my lifeguard was of Filipino descent.

I see both male and female staff members and there is a wide range of ethnic diversity from the young African-American girl I saw teaching to the Caucasion male I saw teaching next to her, to the Filipino lifeguard.

So perhaps Nathan Wahlen was mistaken about Ms. Robinson being the only African-American employee?

My wife is of mixed descent and frankly we are appalled that discrimi-

nation is even being investigated.

We’ve never felt for one moment any hint of discrimination from any of the staff. Having met Bill Walker a couple of times, my wife felt he was a true professional.

Additionally, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Mr. Romney is a knowledgable swim coach. I’ve seen him in action and believe he knows his job well.

However, having worked in business my entire life, I am fully aware of the following: A new director who is worth his paycheck does not simply go into a facility and start terminating people.

Most new directors prefer to leave employees in place to keep the business running consistently.

When the director feels there is a reason to terminate an employee, he or she must feel there is no other option. I am disappointed that Mr. Romney feels it necessary to bring a lawsuit against the pool with Ms. Robinson.

These are clearly the actions of disgruntled former employees and have the distinct possibility of hurting what is a community asset.

After reading the paper I realize there is support for this coach; how-

ever, I am also aware of several families who do not support him and are relieved he is moving on.

I would urge the commission board to look at the obvious division this has caused not only in the staff members at the pool, but the swim team.

A divided team at work or on the swim team will only further cause discontent, and if this coach were reinstated, the division would only increase, and the district stands a real chance of losing more swimmers and definitely more key staff members.

I would also urge the commission board to contact employees and former employees from the last 10 years and ask their feelings on the matter.

I suspect there are very valid reasons, several key and very pleasant. I urge the board to be thorough, to not bend to public outcry and to investigate, investigate, investigate.

We will continue to use the pool because we feel it is still an asset to the community, but urge the commission to get this behind them as quickly as possible and let the community move on.

Teddy bears galore and more

High school students collect 1,050 stuffed animals for children in need

appreciate them.”

“I feel like it would go to a better use because the people these are going to don’t have as much so I want to give them the joy of a stuffed animal,” Bunch said.

Finding and filling needs

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

There’s nothing like a fuzzy stuffed animal to cuddle with in tough times.

Thanks to the work of the freshman class at Oak Harbor High School, 1,050 stuffed animals will find new homes with children in crisis.

For two and one-half weeks in November, freshmen collected new and used stuffed animals as part of their Teddy Bear Drive.

The colorful heap of toys represented all types of stuffed animals, from Winnie the Pooh to Baby Bop to Webkins.

The students are in the midst of bagging the donations to give to Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor so that members can clean and repair the toys before donating them to social service agencies including Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse, the Department of Social and Health Services, Child Protective Services and local fire stations. The stuffed animals will be given to children and adults in order to provide comfort in times of crisis. Emergency personnel will give them to children who were in accidents or injured “to give them a sense of comfort and something warm to hang on to,” said Jeremy Day, high school counselor.

After stuffing a few bags with the animals and pointing out animals similar to ones they’d owned as children, a few freshmen volunteers reminisced about their own favorite stuffed animals. Many had been given a beloved stuffed animal at a young age and still owned it.

Nathan Larsen said he was given a little blue elephant at birth and has kept it ever since, as has Carly Crowther with a stuffed cow her aunt gave her when she was 4.

Deja Bunch still has the stuffed dog she received at age 3 and Krista Alamo continues to love the stuffed kangaroo her dad bought for her in Australia.

Joseph Thayer got a big green dinosaur when he was born.

Oak Harbor High School freshmen collected more than 1,000 stuffed animals in their Teddy Bear Drive with Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor. Students pictured from left to right are Carly Crowther, Suzanne Kaltenbach, Krista Alamo and Deja Bunch. The pile of donated stuffed animals was deep enough to cover students Joseph Thayer and Nathan Larsen.

The drive also represents a competition among the freshmen. The class is divided into islands and Justice Island won by collecting 405 of the stuffed animals.

“We created these competitions to give them a sense of pride for their island,” said Jessica Boswell, an English teacher. She added that these competitions help foster a sense of community among the students at school and in the Oak Harbor community.

“And it also helps them see needs in the community,” Day said, adding that once they see these needs, the drive allows them to help.

They chose a stuffed animal drive instead of the traditional canned food drive because last year’s freshmen responded well to the coat drive they did, said Cynthia Allen, teacher. Collecting items like toys and coats connects better with the younger high school students who are just growing out of childhood themselves, Boswell added.

Sandee Oehring, a member of Soroptimist, said the group was thrilled to receive more than 1,000 toys. The group has done a teddy bear drive for years but they normally only collect bears from Soroptimist members and their families, Oehring said.

“It’s a cool service project for the kids,” Oehring said.

“And our kids totally rocked,” Boswell added.

She is part of Justice Island, the group of Oak Harbor High School freshmen who collected more than 400 stuffed animals for the freshman class’ Teddy Bear Drive.

“And for a long time, it was way taller than me,” he said.

Suzanne Kaltenbach said her favorite childhood stuffed animals were passed down from her parents. As the stu-

a family, they should have something to hold on to,” Larsen said.

“I thought maybe someone else could get the excitement I had when I got my first animal and wanted to

dents pass along their own beloved stuffed animals to children in need, Alamo said she hopes the children who receive them feel special.

“If a kid just went through a disaster and lost part of

share the love,” Kaltenbach said.

The students nodded in agreement as Crowther said she wasn’t using her stuffed animals anymore, “and I knew somebody else would

The community service doesn’t stop here. The annual Key Club canned food drive is going on now to benefit the North Whidbey Help House.

Third period classes compete for a pizza party and the winner is determined by the point values of the items they bring rather than the number of items. The highest points are given for items on the list of requested items from the Help House.

The food drive runs through Thursday, Dec. 13.

Approved easement adds protection for Greenbank

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Years of work to add another layer of protection to the Greenbank Farm came to fruition this week.

The Board of Island County Commissioners Monday approved a $335,000 conservation easement for the agriculture, recreational and environmentally sensitive land located at the publicly owned farm. The easement is funded by Conservation Futures Funds awarded by the commissioners in 2011.

Pat Powell, executive director for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, said the Greenbank Farm is an impor-

tant part of Whidbey heritage and the easement still provides enough flexibility to keep the farm’s commercial core economically viable.

“The farm will always be kept intact and still have a pastoral landscape,” Powell said. The Whidbey Camano Land Trust helped facilitate negotiations between the county and the port.

The Monday approval came as a surprise to leaders of the Port of Coupeville, who said they were expecting the deliberations would continue almost to the end of the year.

The Port of Coupeville owns the Greenbank Farm.

“I’m just really pleased,” port Commissioner Benye

ObituarY Ruth Witherbee (Rivers) February 6, 1924 – November 26, 2012 Ruth Witherbee, a past resident of Coupeville and Oak Harbor, passed away peacefully on Nov. 26, 2012.

Ruth was born, raised and married in Seattle and then retired to Whidbey Island.

She was preceded in death by both her parents Frank and Selma Rivers and her husband Cal Witherbee (1998).

A long time member of Coupeville United Methodist and later First

United Methodist Church in Oak Harbor, Ruth was very active in the United Methodist Women and a committed volunteer at the Whidbey General Hospital.

Ruth and Cal operated David’s Diner in Coupeville for many years.

Ruth will be missed by her children, Robert Witherbee, David (Nadja) Witherbee, Karen (Gary) Hinton and her grandsons Thom (Stacey) Hinton and Ty (Erin) Hinton.

A Celebration of Life is 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8 at Coupeville United Methodist Church.

Jim Patton executive director for the Port of Coupeville,

said that the easement dollars will be talked about during the commissioners Dec. 12 meeting. He has a list of 10 to 12 potential maintenance items that include replacing the fuel floats and installing an additional restroom at the Coupeville Wharf.

One thing is for sure, the Port won’t be able to pay off

its debt on the Greenbank Farm. Patton said the Port is obligated to continue paying more than $100,000 a year, which is about a third of its levy income, through 2017.

The commissioners meeting takes place Wednesday, Dec. 12, 10 a.m. in the Coupeville Public Library.

Weber said of the approved easement. “That’s been one of the reasons why I ran for a second term.”

County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said that staff was prepared for the documents from the Port of Coupeville and there wasn’t any controversy in approving the most recent easement.

The county commissioners unanimously approved the decision.

The Port of Coupeville also agreed to surrender the development rights to 7 acres of commercial land located on either side of Wonn Road.

While preventing commercial development on those two rectangular strips of property, an option was written into the easement that allows construction of a park and ride lot.

The conservation easement will be a boon to the Port of Coupeville, which has had to defer maintenance on projects at the Greenbank Farm and the Coupeville

Blaine, bug bite Wolves in season hoop opener

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Josh Wilsey rips a rebound for Coupeville.

Blaine and a bug waylaid the Coupeville boys basketball team 57-17 in the season opener Saturday in Coupeville.

The Wolves suited up only six players for the game and half of those played sick. The trash can beside the team bench was used for more than collecting garbage during the breaks in the game.

Coupeville couldn’t call up junior varsity players to help out because the Wolves had only five to play the preliminary game as illness and several other factors left the entire program short handed.

Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said among the missing were three potential starters.

The weary and sick Wolves hung with Blaine (1-1) early, but fatigue and nausea set in and Coupeville scored only five points in the second half.

Smith said, “We are way better than the score indi-

cated today. It is a testament to the kids that they showed up; they should have stayed home.”

The bug derailed the Wolves’ hopes of getting off to a good start after going winless in 2011-12. Smith said, “We will get better. It is not a good feeling to start this way.”

Coupeville’s Carson Risner hit the game’s first hoop, then Blaine rattled off 10 consecutive points with the help of nine Wolf first-quarter turnovers. The Borderites led 17-5 at the end of the quarter and 27-12 at the half.

Blaine scored the first eight points of the second half, then Drew Chan drilled a three-pointer for Coupeville.

The Wolves wouldn’t score again until Aaron Trumbull connected in the game’s final minute.

Chan finished with five points, Risner four, Aaron Curtin three, Josh Wilsey two, Trumbull two and Gavin O’Keefe one.

The Wolves were stung by

Coupeville tops Trojans Hitting its free throws when it had to, the Coupeville High School girls basketball team pulled out a 43-36 win at Meridian Saturday.

Although they made only three of 13 free throws in the first half and 15 of 37 in the game, the Wolves hit three of four in the game’s final minutes to secure the win.

Coupeville jumped to an early 9-5 lead as Lauren Escalle collected five first-quarter points.

The Wolves’ offense picked up in the second quarter with 17 points, four each from Escalle, Bessie Walstad and Makana Stone, and Coupeville led at the break 26-17.

Coupeville coach David King said the Wolves’ intensity and defense took a dip in the third quarter and the Trojans cut the lead to 32-26 going into the last period.

Coupeville pushed its lead to 11 at one point in the fourth quarter, and then, in one quick sequence, let the Trojans slice a 10-point deficit to four. On a successful Meridian three-point shot, a Trojan rebounder was fouled and hit the front end of a one-and-one. The Trojans rebounded the missed second shot and put it back in to complete a six-point run in a matter of seconds.

Meridian then fouled Walstad with 90 seconds left and the senior coolly

drilled both shots to make the margin six.

The Trojans failed to convert and fouled Amanda Fabrizi who hit one of two shots to give Coupeville a more comfortable seven-point lead.

King was pleased with how his club started and how it adjusted to the officiating: “The girls came out ready to play.

This game was different than our first with how the game was being called. We have discussed that each game may be called differently, and this was. The girls adapted and made the necessary adjustments and got into a good flow.”

King also liked how his team “anticipated better on defense” and came up with 13 steals, led by Fabrizi and Hailey Hammer with three each.

The Wolves also had 12 assists on 14 field goals.

Coupeville out rebounded Meridian 35-25; Stone had six boards and Jai’Lysa pulled down four on offense.

Escalle led the scoring with 11 points; Stone had 10; Walstad six; Haley Marx five; Hammer four; Fabrizi, Breeanna Messner and Madi Strasburg two each; and Hoskins one.

The Wolves (1-1) play two tough games this week, going to LaConner (1-0) at 6 p.m. Thursday and starting league play at Cedarcrest (3-0) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Oak Harbor girls lose late

Oak Harbor’s Liz Lym, front, wrestlers for a rebound in the Wildcats’ game at Mount Baker.

A nice comeback went for naught as the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team lost 57-53 to Mount Baker in Deming Friday.

For the second straight game in as many tries, the Wildcats overcame an early deficit, but this time they couldn’t hold on in the nonleague loss.

The Mountaineers zipped to an 18-6 firstquarter lead as Oak Harbor hit only one of 11 shots and committed 13 turnovers.

The Wildcats then jumped back on the rails and began to plug away, trimming the gap to 25-22 at the break. Two minutes into the fourth quarter, Liz Lym’s two-pointer gave Oak Harbor its first lead, 40-39.

Four times the ‘Cats pushed the lead to four, each time Mount Baker rallied back and eventually regained the lead at 50-49.

From there Oak Harbor would tie it twice but never retake the lead.

The game was a foul fest. Oak Harbor went to the line 41 times, hitting 27 (66 percent); Mount Baker was 20-for-31 (65 percent). Two Wildcats fouled out and three finished with four fouls. The Mountaineers also had two players disqualified; one other had four fouls.

of the game. We won the second quarter by quite a few and were playing very well. The girls played very hard, but again turnovers were our downfall.”

Oak Harbor finished with 37 turnovers, four more than Mount Baker.

Annie Leete scored 24 points for Oak Harbor, Jalani Bobo had 10, Ciera Wiser nine, Lym five, Jinai Guzman three and Kelsey Rankin two.

Wiser also collected nine rebounds and six steals, Leete had seven rebounds and six steals and Bobo seven rebounds.

Oak Harbor swim team glides in easy opener

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Capturing the top two spots in all 11 events, the Oak Harbor High School swim team destroyed Monroe 137-27 in the season opener Monday at John Vanderzicht Pool.

The Wildcats also swept the first three spots in six events in Alex Thierry’s debut as a varsity swim coach.

Josh Jepsen led the dominating performance with state qualifying times in all four of his events.

Individually, he won the 200-meter medley in 2:15.19 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:10.04. He also met a state time in the 50 free in his opening leg of the 200 free relay, winning with Cedric Cabigting, Caley Powers and Kevin Levy (1:46.3). Jepsen joined Toren Wood, Powers and Levy to win the 200 medley relay in a state time of 1:56.43.

Levy was also a four-time winner. In addition to the relays, he won the 50

Sewage facility could impact businesses

By JESSIE STENSLAND

owned by Carl Freund, was overlooked as a possible site during a two-year siting process that culminated at a city council meeting in August.

The mayor broke a 3-3 tie, favoring the Windjammer vicinity as the site for the plant.

But then Freund called the mayor and offered to sell the residentially zoned property for the sewer project.

A couple of residents of the Dillard’s Addition neighborhood adjacent to the property said during a council meeting that they weren’t opposed to the idea.

Dudley brought the idea to the council; the council members approved a contract amendment with the engineering firm to do field work and soil borings at a number of sites around Windjammer, including the Freund property.

Cathy Rosen, the city’s public works director, presented the council with the results of the field work at the Nov. 20 meeting.

She said the Freund property presents additional risk associated with environmental permitting and flood pro-

It appears that Oak Harbor’s new sewage treatment facility will be built somewhere near Pioneer Way, in the vicinity of Windjammer Park, but there’s no guarantee officials will find a willing seller.

The Oak Harbor City Council voted on a resolution last month that limits the possible sites for the proposed $93.5-million facility to the “vicinity of Windjammer” and specifically rules out the “Freund property” that Mayor Scott Dudley had touted.

Dudley said he isn’t pleased with the decision, especially since it could lead to the city taking private, commercial property through eminent domain.

“I would not be in favor of a condemnation action, especially when we have a willing seller,” he said.

Dudley proposed in October that the city consider building the wastewater treatment plant on an undeveloped 6-acre site on Beeksma Drive.

The property, which is

tection.

As a result, the council passed the resolution ruling out the Freund site.

Councilman Rick Almberg said in an interview that the risk associated with the Freund site weighed on him in making the decision.

He said the engineers bored down 52 feet at the site and still didn’t hit solid ground. In addition, the property is seven feet below other sites, increasing flood risks.

Dudley, on the other hand, argued that the council shouldn’t have taken the property out of consideration until more questions are answered.

He proposed, for example, that the footprint of the plant could be changed to become more efficient and inexpensive at the roomier Freund site.

“I’m frustrated with the outcome because I like options,” he said.

In addition, he pointed out that siting the plant on Pioneer Way could mean taking a big piece of commercial property off the tax rolls.

But as it stands, Dudley said the city will took at all possible options around Windjammer Park, sans the Freund property. The property the engineers had focused on so far is the former Chevrolet dealership on Pioneer Way, which is where Pioneer Automotive Services is currently located. Dudley said the owner has expressed hesitancy about selling.

Dudley said officials are also looking at the Whidbey Island Bank administrative building, the parking lot adjacent to Windjammer Park, the Oak Harbor Motors site and a property at the corner of Highway 20 and Pioneer Way. He said they are trying to find creative ways of dividing the land and siting the plant to have as little impact on the businesses as possible.

“Wherever it ends up,” he said, “I would like to continue to sharpen our pencils to bring the costs down as much as possible.”

SUIT CONTINUED FROM A1

The deputies have been working without a contract since December 2008. The guild and county have gone through dispute resolution and may end up in arbitration soon.

The recent lawsuit states that four deputies have each been injured in the line of duty during the last two years. The deputies applied for and received time-loss compensation from the state Department of Labor and Industries. They each also received sick-leave compensation from the county.

In each case, the county notified the deputy that he can’t receive both time-loss and sick leave compensation when it amounts to more than 100 percent of their regular wages.

The county unilaterally withheld wages from two of the deputies’ paychecks; the county claims the other deputies owe money, according to the lawsuit.

“The deputies’ position is that the L & I time loss benefit paid to an injured

deputy is a separate benefit similar to insurance,” Skinner said. “They should not have to pay it back as the county insists, simply because they also choose to take the sick leave that they have earned and accrued through their service to the County.”

Melanie Bacon, the county human resources director, said the county’s policy is that employees cannot earn more than their regular pay when they are on sick leave.

In general, the Department of Labor and Industries pays approximately 60 percent of regular salaries for people who are injured on the job.

The lawsuit asks for an injunction to prevent the county from requiring employees who take sick leave while receiving time-loss compensation to forfeit compensation; prohibit the county from unilaterally reducing paid leave of employees who receive time-loss; direct the county to restore “sick leave banks” of all employees.

In addition, the lawsuit asks that the county pay double damages for wages improperly withheld from the deputies, as well as interest and attorneys’ fees.
