Langley mayor charged, may lose position By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The mayor of Langley is charged with a crime that may spell the end of his career in politics. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks filed one count of “false report by a public officer” against Mayor Larry Kwarsick in Island County Superior Court Thursday. Kwarsick allegedly broke the law when he was serving as director of community planning in Langley last year. He’s accused of backdating a document to make it appear that it was written by a predecessor. The Notice of Decision improperly eliminated permit requirements on his stepdaughter’s home construction project, according to court documents.
Kwarsick is accused of knowingly making “a false or misleading statement in any official report or statement,” under the definition of the charge. If convicted, Kwarsick would have to forfeit his office and would be permanently disqualified from holding office in the state, according to court documents. The charge is a gross misdemeanor and punishable with up to 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. Kwarsick, 65, is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment Monday. Banks said he expects the case will be resolved at that time, though he wouldn’t disclose the terms of a potential settlement. Kwarsick is well-known throughout Whidbey See MAYOR, A4
Officials respond to OLF petition, meeting planned By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
An online petition to stop military exercises at the U.S. Navy’s airfield in Central Whidbey will not succeed, but it may lead to improvements in communication, according to Congressman Rick Larsen. The petition began Dec. 1 and now has more than 1,000 signatures.
Organizers plan to send it to Congress and President Barack Obama, but the Second District Democrat said this week that their efforts will not result in the closure of Outlying Field. “OLF is not going away,” Larsen said. A long-time member of the U.S. House of Representative’s Armed See OLF, A8

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, left, talks with Fred Goodman of the USDA Wildlife Services and Island County Animal Control Officer Carol Barnes about how to catch two aggressive dogs that have been roaming a neighborhood off West Beach Road.
Aggressive dogs close Ebey park By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Fort Ebey State Park on Whidbey Island was closed this week after a pair of aggressive dogs attacked two hikers Tuesday. Beginning on Thursday, the temperamental canines started ranging outside the park to neighborhoods just north near Libbey Beach Park. Park rangers, Island County Animal Control Officer Carol Barnes, a specialist from the USDA Wildlife Services and even Sheriff Mark Brown have been out patrolling the area and warning residents. Barnes said the potentially dangerous dogs have been going up to the doors
of homes and scratching at them. She said several residents are scared to go out. Park Ranger Brett Bayne said the Central Whidbey park will remain closed until the dogs have been removed. The Kettles Trail near Coupeville is also closed. Bayne said he’s seen the dogs a few times and they’ve been very aggressive toward him. He said he resorted to pepper-spraying them when they wouldn’t let him get out of his vehicle. The rangers found a pile of dog food near where the dogs have been seen. “It’s apparent these dogs have been abandoned,” Barnes said. “It’s very sad.” Lauryn Wilson, a native Oak Harbor resident, came
home from college at Central Washington University and decided to bring a friend, Brad Durham, to Fort Ebey State Park for a hike Tuesday afternoon. They were on a trail when the two dogs, both without collars, ran up to them. She said they looked like mixedbreed dogs; the larger male appeared to be a St. Bernard and German shepherd mix, while the smaller female looked like a pitbull mix. Wilson said the dogs kept growling and charging at them. They tried to walk away, but the dogs continued being aggressive. She said she thought they might be trying to get help for an injured owner or puppies. “The dogs, I thought, were
acting so strangely,” she said. Wilson said she started following the dogs, which seemed to make them happy. But when Durham followed behind, the dogs became angry and started attacking him. They both bit him on the hands and legs. The larger dog drew blood. “It seemed like they have a problem with men,” she said. “Maybe they were beaten by a man.” Since the dogs seemed threatened by Durham, See dogs, A8

Port of Coupeville receives $335K in Conservation Futures Funds By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Leaders for the Port of Coupeville are figuring out how to best use an award that is nearly equal to the entity’s yearly tax collection. The public entity received $335,000 in Conservation Futures Funds from Island County for an easement on
the agricultural, recreational and environmentally sensitive lands at the farm. The Port of Coupeville receives around $360,000 in tax dollars each year. With the futures fund award soon to be in hand, port leaders are looking to move forward with maintenance projects at the
Greenbank Farm and the Coupeville Wharf. Those projects have been deferreddue to funding problems. During the monthly commissioner meeting Wednesday for Port of Coupeville, executive director Jim Patton said he is accepting solicitations for new fuel floats at the
Coupeville Wharf. Replacing those floats are a high priority for the port. The current ones have a history of breaking loose. Port employees have had to beach the floats until repairs could be made. Patton said the floats pose a problem for Penn Cove Shellfish boats, which refuel
at the Coupeville Wharf. He is hoping the new fuel floats will be smaller, made of metal instead of concrete and better equipped to handle the conditions of Penn Cove during the winter. He said he hopes to have bids received by the end of January. The Port of Coupeville has around a dozen poten-
tial projects and a special meeting will be scheduled in February to not only prioritize maintenance needs but revise the port’s budget because it’s going to drastically change. The 2013 budget was based on the assumption there wouldn’t be Conservation Futures Funds.
Man faces multiple charges in Dec. 5 bar brawl, fighting with police By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 23-year-old Oak Harbor man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly assaulted three people in a bar, broke a man’s jaw and then fought with police, according to court records. Prosecutors charged
Matthew R. Davison in Island County Superior Court Dec. 10 with assault in the second degree, two counts of assault in the fourth degree and resisting arrest. Davison is being held on $25,000 bail and was ordered to have no contact with the three alleged victims. Davison is accused of
punching and seriously injuring a fellow patron at the Football Bat Sports Bar and Grill in Oak Harbor Dec. 5. Officer Chris Peabody with the Oak Harbor Police Department responded to the assault. He reported surveillance video shows Davison struck the fellow patron unprovoked. The victim was
identified as 28-year-old Jerry Zimmerman of Oregon. Zimmerman was knocked unconscious. Doctors later determined he had a broken jaw, according to the report. After the assault, Davison’s three friends attempted to retain him. Davison allegedly punched two of the men in the face, Peabody reported.
Officers later found Davison hiding nearby. He allegedly resisted arrest and tried to kick the officers. He was transported to Oak Harbor Jail, where he repeatedly kicked the door of a holding cell. Officers decided to transport him to Island County Jail, but he resisted getting into the police car and
had to be tased, the report states. During the drive to the jail, Davison allegedly threatened that he had been hiding near the Football Bat when the officers were investigating the assault. He said he had an “AR-15 rifle” and could have taken the officers “out” at any time, the officer wrote.

It’s been a tough year for donations to the Marine Corps League’s Toys for Tots program on Whidbey Island. According to organizer Mike McClung, donations are down about 40 percent, the impact of which will be felt next year. “Last year we spent about $13,000 on toys. This year we’ve spent about $12,500 but we haven’t been able to replenish our funds,” McClung told members of the Maj. Megan McClung Marine Corps League at its regular meeting Thursday evening in Oak Harbor. “We’re going to be OK this year, but it’s next year I’m worried about.”
McClung told the group a fundraiser last weekend at the ferry dock in Clinton — the group’s major Toys for Tots fundraiser — brought in just over $3,000, half of what the group earned last year. Another factor that has hurt the effort is that the cost of toys has risen. “Prices are up across the board,” McClung said. “The cost of toys has gone up from $2 to $5 each.” There are two more fundraising opportunities — the holiday choir and band concerts coming up at Oak Harbor High School. The annual Holiday Choir concert will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec.
19 and the holiday band concert will be held at the school at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20. All the money and toys collected on Whidbey Island stay on Whidbey Island, according to McClung. This year there are 1,800 children on the list, up about 300 from the previous year. Toys for Tots collection boxes will remain at several participating businesses across the island through Saturday, Dec. 22. Contributions can be mailed to: Toys for Tots — Whidbey, MCL Detachment 1210, P.O. Box 977, Oak Harbor, WA 98277. Call 360-320-3013 for information.

Sheriff to hold meeting Thursday on incoming Coupeville sex offender By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The Island County Sheriff’s Office is holding a public meeting in Coupeville Thursday, Dec. 20 to discuss a Level 3 sex offender who’s moving back to the community. Christopher Mazdra, 34, will be residing on NE Sixth Street in Coupeville after being released from prison. The sheriff’s office has
classified him as a Level 3 sex offender, which means he’s considered a high risk to the community. Sheriff Mark Brown and Coupeville Marshal Lance Davenport will be at the meeting, which will begin at 6 p.m. at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 NW Alexander St. Mazdra was convicted of three counts of rape of a child in the third degree and, in a separate case, one count of communicating
with a minor for immoral purposes in 2006. Mazdra engaged in sexual and inappropriate relationships with underaged girls that he met on the bus, at the library or through instant messaging, according to a release from the sheriff’s office. He had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl when he was 24 years old. At his sentencing hearing, his mother explained that Mazdra has a develop-
mental disability and identified with teenagers. The judge sentenced Mazdra under the Special Sexual Offender Sentencing Alternative, commonly known as a SSOSA. The sentencing alternative allows first-time sex offenders to avoid all or most of a prison term by agreeing to go through special sex offender treatment in the community and abiding by strict conditions meant to safeguard the com-
munity and change any bad habits that could lead to future offenses. The court revoked Mazdra’s SSOSA last year after he violated the conditions by being in a place minors congregate, going on the Internet without permission from his treatment provider and having a sexual relationship with an adult woman without permission of his treatment provider or a Community Corrections officer.

Port of Coupeville hired an accountant to investigate financial allegations made by a former chairperson of a volunteer committee. Chuck Edwards, a Freeland accountant, is reviewing allegations made by Georgia Gardner, a Coupeville accountant, about apparent errors, omissions and/or inconsistencies in the tax and payroll records of the Greenbank Farm Management Group. Gardner is currently a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner and she is a former state legislator. According to a motion approved by the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville, Edwards will review correspondence written by Gardner, interview Gardner and trustees for the Greenbank Farm Management Group and provide findings and recommendations for the port commissioners by the end of the year. The investigation stems from a resignation letter writ-
ten by Gardner in October that outlined her concerns about the management group’s finances. She had been serving as the chairwoman for a volunteer group, known at as the Greenbank Farm Executive Planning Group, tasked with examining the publicly owned farm and developing recommendations about how it will be managed in the future. “We think this is a very good development,” said

OBITUARY
MAYOR CONTINUED FROM A1
Virginia Rae Hoffelt
Virginia Rae Hoffelt, longtime Oak Harbor resident, died Saturday morning, Dec. 1, 2012, at home with her daughters by her side. Born July 23, 1922 in Williston, N.D. to Raymond and Mildred Milner, “Ginny Rae” was the eldest of four children. She graduated from Williston High School in 1940 and received a Registered Nurse degree from the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in 1943. Virginia was still a student nurse at Mercy Hospital in 1942 when she met John Hoffelt, a U.S. Navy sailor on shore leave who was in Williston to visit a shipmate’s sister. They began exchanging letters and were married 18 months later in Sidney, Mont. The couple lived in Miami, Jacksonville, Corpus Christi, Honolulu and Pensacola before 1953, when the Navy transferred Chief Petty Officer Hoffelt to Whidbey Island, which became their permanent home. Their 68-year marriage exemplified the meaning of love and devotion. In addition to raising her children and helping manage the family business, Virginia was a part of the St. Augustine parish community, a Bluebird group leader, Camp Kirby nurse and a member of the Oak Harbor Emblem Club #450. An avid golfer, she was one of the first to join the Whidbey Golf and Country Club and cherished her home on the course with its view of the fairways. For many years, she and John escaped the Pacific Northwest’s winter weather by heading south to their second home in Sun City, Ariz. At 90, Virginia was thriving independently, still driving, traveling and staying current — she enjoyed texting with her grandchildren on her iPhone – when she suddenly became ill in late October and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. After a brief hospitalization, she returned home to be cared for ‘round the clock by her daughters, with help and guidance from Hospice of the Northwest. She is missed by so

He is currently under contract as the planning director in Coupeville and was also contracted in Langley before becoming mayor. He runs a land-use consulting firm called Sound Planning Services. The Island County Prosecutor’s Office started looking into the case after current Langley Planning Director Jeff Arango discovered the paperwork irregularity because of a public information request from South Whidbey blogger

Banks said he convened a special inquiry judge, but he didn’t end up taking testimony in the secretive procedure designed to protect witnesses. But he said employees were willing to speak with Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The case surrounds a property on Minnie Lane that is largely wetland.

He previously said he didn’t intentionally backdate the document, but forgot to change the date while finishing up the work of the former planner, according to the whistleblower’s report. But Banks said evidence from Kwarsick’s computer shows that he wrote the notice as a separate document, using a June of 2009 Amendment of Critical Areas Decision as a template. “It appears that he was working on a document at home to make it look like it was an official Langley report,” he said.

Phyllis Jean Littell was called to be with the Lord on December 12, 2012 at Virginia Mason Hospital, Seattle. She was born August 19, 1935 in Waterloo, Iowa to Sidney and Mary Manson. At age five, she moved with her family to Indianapolis. At age 18, she graduated from high school and was married to Clarence Littell. Clarence was on active duty with the U.S. Navy and assigned to the Brooklyn Ship Yard with the USS Antietam. Clarence and Phyllis honeymooned in New York for two weeks and then were transferred to their new duty station at NAS Pensacola. While in Pensacola, two children, Dennis and Vickie were born. The Navy sent the Littell family on the Alameda and in 1958 they were stationed at Moffett Field, where third child Cindy was born. Whidbey Island became home in 1960, when Clarence was assigned to NAS Whidbey. Phyllis found work at an Optometrist office in Anacortes for a time, and then spent 10 years for Whidbey Federal Credit Union. She was a long-time member of the Oak Harbor Southern Baptist Church. Phyllis is survived by Clarence Littell–her husband of 59 years, and by three children and their spouses: Dennis Littell and Sharon Felix of Kirkland; Vickie McDougal and husband Rev.

James R. Butler died at Whidbey General Hospital on Dec 5, 2012 at the age of 79 of a heart attack. He was born in Delta, Colo. to Bernard and Belle (Browning) Butler and graduated from Delta High School with the Class of 1951. He married Elizabeth Johnson on Nov 22, 1958 at Moffitt Field, Calif. and enjoyed a wonderful 54 years of marriage to her. Following high school, Jim worked in the uranium mines before joining the U. S. Navy in Jan 1952. His duties as a Flight Engineer led him to assignments around the world that included serving in the Vietnam War and on various aircraft carriers. He retired as a Command Master Chief after 30 years of honorable service to his country. After his retirement from the U. S. Navy, Jim worked another 15 years for Whidbey General Hospital as the head of the engineering department, where he was able to continue to use his vast mechanical knowledge and leadership skills. After his second retirement, Jim spent his remaining years serving as the neighborhood “handy-man.” You would always see him around the neighborhood helping others repair their cars, fixing lawnmowers, or performing many other errands. He was also an active member of the sheriff’s department volunteer patrol. Jim was an avid hunter,
James R. Butler fisherman and camper; hobbies he had enjoyed since his early childhood days. He would often head to the Cascade and Rocky Mountains to enjoy the outdoors. He was an expert shotgun trap and skeet shooter, earning several trophies in individual and team competitions. Most importantly, Jim was a devoted and loyal husband and father and his family came first before all other activities. As his children grew and moved away, he made numerous trips across the country to visit his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Jim is survived by his wife, Beth, of Oak Harbor; son John Butler and wife Rose, of Great Lakes, Ill.; son William (Bill) of Oak Harbor; daughter Lori Stokes, of Mansfield, Texas; eight grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Memorial services with full military honors were held on Dec 13, 2012 in Oak Harbor. During the summer of 2013, his ashes will be spread in the mountains of Colorado that he loved so much.

Environmental group set to file petition against county By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
A state-required update to a section of Island County’s critical areas ordinances is seven years past due and a South Whidbey-based environmental watchdog group says that’s too long. Officials with Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, have confirmed that they be filing a failure to act petition this week with the state’s Growth Management Hearings board for the county’s lack of action to update its policies and regulations for fish and wildlife conservation areas. Steve Erickson, litigation coordinator for WEAN, said the update has continually shown up on the Island County Planning Commission’s docket as an action item but has yet to be completed. He believes the existing rules need “extensive chang-
es” and, after years of delay, the only way to ensure the county takes action is to seek an enforcement order by the state hearing’s board. “It’s the only way we can assure the county meets its obligations,” Erickson said. “It’s just time that happens,” he said. In 1990, the Legislature passed the Growth Management Act, which required counties and cities to adopt comprehensive land use plans and development regulations to coordinate and manage growth and development, as well as protect the state’s natural resources and critical areas. In response, the county adopted its comprehensive plan and its critical areas ordinance, which addresses wetlands and agriculture to geologically hazardous and frequently flooded areas, in 1998. Those rules are subject to
continual review, however, and the state established a Dec. 1, 2005, deadline for Island County. With the exception of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, all have been updated. WEAN submitted a letter to Island County Planning and Community Development and the Prosecutor’s Office last month to notify officials of its intent to file the petition with the hearing’s board. Along with addressing the conservation areas update failure, it alleged that the shoreline master program update, which is currently in the process of being adopted, contained elements of the old rules. Erickson alleged a lack on consistency would be created between the two sets of regulations once the critical areas ordinance is fully updated. Bob Pederson, the county’s planning chief, did address WEAN’s litigation
threat at the commissioner’s work session last week, saying the petition and a possible enforcement order by the hearing board will be a hardship for the department. “If they do so, that is going to have a substantial impact on the work program and there will be an economic number associated with that,” Pederson said. Lacking the “in-house expertise” to accomplish all aspects of the update, he said an outside consultant would likely need to be hired. Time was scheduled in 2012 to perform some of the work for the update but significant progress wasn’t made as attempts to secure grant funding were unsuccessful. Pederson said he is optimistic they will have better luck with another grant opportunity being sought this January. Some work was done, however, through the shore-
line master program update as the rules contain a conservation areas element. Subsequently, Pederson does not agree with Erickson’s opinion that that program includes outdated policies. “Certainly there are provisions from the old ordinance that carried forward but there is more than that,” he said. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she does hope the next grant application is more successful but she also made it clear that she believes it’s time to make progress on the overdue update. “I think it is important that we move forward,” Price Johnson said. “It’s languished a long time.” This isn’t the first time WEAN has been a thorn in the county’s side. Since its inception in 1989, the nonprofit group has challenged
the county on various landuse policies, projects and permits on more than 20 separate occasions. Those challenges have taken place in courts, in front of hearings examiners and the GMA hearings board. It’s been in continuous litigation with the county over the agricultural element of the critical areas ordinance since it’s original adoption, with the latest court action scheduled for early next year. The recent letter from WEAN also requested a schedule be mutually agreed upon for when the update would be completed. Erickon said this week that he has not yet heard back from county officials and planned to file the petition on Thursday. “We’re going to do what we need to do,” Erickson said. “It’s the only way we can assure the county meets it’s obligations.”

Letters to the editor Thanks
Many thanks for returning wallet Monday evening I stopped in Walmart to make a quick purchase. I was in a hurry, on my way home from work, thus I was careless. As I was placing my wallet back into the inside pocket of my jacket, I apparently missed the pocket and the wallet landed on the floor. Some angel-in-disguise picked up the wallet and turned it into customer service who returned it to me. Many, many thanks and I hope all involved have a peaceful Christmas.
Because of your generosity we are able to support programs which help to teach patriotism, assist in the well being and education of our youth and support our veterans. Shari Vogelman VFW Post 7392 Ladies Auxiliary

Thanks for VFW auxiliary support The Ladies Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 7392’s 13th Annual Auction was a success!

everyone saying we live in such a special place, it’s a disappointing 32 percent. Whidbey is surrounded by counties with curbside. Snohomish County, Skagit County, East Jefferson County and San Juan County have all voted for curbside recycling. Camano Island and the City of Oak Harbor have curbside recycling. Coupeville is about to start picking it up at the curb. Why does the rest of Whidbey Island keep voting it down? Curbside recycling is how cities and counties increase their recycling rate. Curbside recycling on Whidbey is long overdue. People think it will be too expensive. I can understand the families that are having a hard time making ends meet, but the ones who have the most garbage for pick-up will benefit the most and here’s how. If you put two garbage cans out on the curb for weekly pick-up, you are currently paying $25.12 a month. If we get curbside recycling it will cost about $11 more, totaling $36.12 a
month. But if you separate the garbage from the recyclables, you can downsize to one can every other week which costs $13.38, and you’d save $11.74. If you need help doing this call the WSU Waste Wise Program Coordinator who would be happy to help you. Or check out a DVD from the library called “Slash the Trash and Save Some Cash,” it’s part of the Sustainable Living Seminar Series. Recycling makes “cents.” For those who haul your garbage and recyclables to the county collection sites, you can save money on gas and vehicle maintenance. Save the time it takes to sort it and haul it to the dump. It will cost you more for the convenience of having curbside, but you’ll save room by removing all the separate containers in the garage, or worry about the garbage spilling in your car, or lids flying out of the back of your truck, or pay for the gas at $4 per gallon. All the recyclables will go into one container, except glass. Glass is the

trouble maker of recyclables. It’s heavy so it costs more to transport, and it breaks, which clogs the recycling equipment and cuts paper fibers. Removing glass from the recycle container makes the other recyclables more valuable. If you’re a really good do-gooder you will haul your glass to recycle centers separately. Or you could throw it in the garbage. Glass comes from sand. It’s non toxic and won’t harm the environment, unless it’s mixed into recyclables. Curbside recycling has come up for a vote by the county commissioners before but this time it will pass with your support. And when it does I will celebrate with all of those who voted for it by raising my aluminum can high in salute. Join me 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20 at the Island County Commissioners meeting room to urge them to vote yes for curbside. Maribeth Crandell Freeland

Final 3 Sisters Market today By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
This will be the last chance to stock up on fresh, local meats and vegetables, as well as a chance to grab some holiday gifts from among the local vendors at the final 3 Sisters Market of the season from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15. The market is located across
Highway 20 from the Blue Fox DriveIn south of Oak Harbor. More than 20 vendors will share their local goods. 3 Sisters Farm will offer meat and eggs, said Shelly Muzzall, market owner. “It’s an opportunity for folks to come in one more time right before Christmas and the holidays to stock up on meat, cheese, veggies, baked bread. It’s that last chance before win-

ter sets in,” Muzzall said, adding that visitors have told her they appreciate that the market is a one-stop shop for a variety of local products. 3 Sisters Market truly is a onestop shop with vendors offering everything from breads to jewelry. Brett’s Bread, which recently opened a storefront in Coupeville, will offer fresh breads and cinnamon rolls. Golden Glen Creamery will bring their butter and cheeses. Enjoy a hot lunch from ShoNuff Foods or help Oak Harbor High
School students earn money for a trip by purchasing their lavender neck wraps. Mystic Farms will offer natural cleaning supplies, soaps and lotions. Jewelry by Nancy features beach glass jewelry. Old Man Merlin offers handmade dog treats, and Just Toffee offers toffee that’s “very popular around town,” Muzzall said. Or find teas by Greenmans Guild, plus vegetables, onions and frozen strawberries from Bell’s and CaseSmith farms, and squash from Pioneer Farms. Full Harvest Farms
will offer a variety of vegetables. “We’re trying to have a community service here,” Muzzall said. The market is also a fun opportunity for people to visit a farm. “They really get that whole effect of this is where the animals are raised at. People can come see what a working farm is all about,” Muzzall said. She advises market visitors to dress warm and be prepared for mud. 3 Sisters plans to open a retail store next year. Their market will reopen in late winter or early spring.

OLF CONTINUED FROM A1
Services Committee, Larsen is a strong supporter of the Navy and its presence in Western Washington. Over the past year Larsen worked to retain plans to make Whidbey Island Naval Air Station home to four squadrons of the sub-hunting P-8A Poseidon aircraft. Larsen disagrees with one of the main tenets of the petition, that flight operations are inappropriate in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, which is part of the national park system. “You can easily make the reverse argument because OLF was there before the reserve,” Larsen said. “We need to recognize, the reality is OLF is where it is and the reserve is where it is,” he said.
But while the congressman is steadfast in his support for the practice landing strip and the Navy’s mission on Whidbey Island, he said base leaders should be cognizant of the concerns of Central Whidbey residents. To that end, a contingent of local elected officials and community leaders are planning to meet with base officials, possibly as soon as next week, to discuss the noise issues surrounding the airfield. Expected participants include Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, Oak Harbor Navy League President Jim Slowik and a representative from Larsen’s office. Conard, who is organizing the meeting, declined to say whether she supported the petition personally — she had not signed it as of Friday — but did say that
Brought to you by:
she started trying to set up a meeting before the petition began, Dec. 1. “There is some work to be done here, for sure,” Conard said. Jet noise has long been an issue for Central Whidbey residents but complaints have spiked this year. Many claim the base’s EA-18G Growler aircraft, the replacement to the EA-6B Prowler, is louder than its predecessor and that flight operations seemed to have increased in 2012. Conard said meeting with base officials has helped soothe noise problems in the past, but problems often arise again due to transition. “It’s clear to me now you need to renew those contacts as people change in position,” she said. Along with establishing a means to continue relationships with new officers,
possibly through somewhat regular meetings, Conard said she hopes to discuss the return of a published flight schedule. That would give residents and business owners some predictability. Price Johnson said she would be advocating for the same thing, saying it would be extremely helpful to those who live with the noise year round. “It would be a positive step,” she said. The base used to publicize its touch-and-go operations at the airfield, but that screeched to a halt following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. Larsen also supports the return of some type of schedule, though it may not be as thorough as those released prior to 9/11 because the Navy can’t violate its force protection guidelines. People should, however,

be able to have enough information to plan around the Navy’s flight operations, he said. “I thinks it’s a fair question to ask and a fair question for the Navy to consider,” Larsen said. He also noted that the base’s presence on Whidbey Island is in no way threatened by the recent controversy at OLF. There are many other bases around the country that are dealing with much tougher encroachment issues, he said. Any claims that the criticism of Central Whidbey residents somehow put the base at risk are “specious arguments,” he said. “The ability to express your opinion is one of the great things about this country and people should not be afraid to do it,” Larsen said. “They just need to know people may have different opinions.”
Dogs CONTINUED FROM A1
Wilson told him to run for help in the opposite direction while she continued on with the dogs. She said she ran with them through the woods; they seemed pleased and weren’t aggressive towards her. Wilson found a restroom and locked herself in, then called her mother for help. Wilson said her mother drove her and Durham to the hospital, where he got stitches for the bite on his leg. Brown said the focus is on trying to capture the dogs, possibly with neck snares. It’s not unheard of for people to abandon pets at parks, Bayne said. Barnes emphasized it’s a crime to abandon a dog.

Games of the week
Boys home hoops Tuesday: Coupeville vs. Sultan at 7 p.m.; Oak Harbor vs. Marysville-Pilchuck at 7:15.
Saturday, December 15, 2012 • Whidbey News-Times
Sports editor
There is no “S” on JoJo Webster’s chest, but the Oak Harbor guard saved the day by draining a long three at the buzzer to help the Wildcats win 49-47 at Everett Tuesday. Webster’s clutch bucket rescued Oak Harbor from a near disaster when the Wildcats saw an eight-point lead evaporate in the final minutes. The game was close throughout (nine ties and 13 lead changes) and neither team led by more than four until a Wildcat surge early in the fourth quarter. Everett led 12-8, 27-23 and 37-36 at the quarters, but Oak Harbor pushed ahead 45-37 with 3:10 left. The Seagulls then went on a 10-1 run and took the lead 47-46 with nine seconds left. Enter Webster. The senior raced up the court, used a hesitation move to create
space and then stepped back to drill the buzzer beater. Oak Harbor coach Mike Washington said it was decided if his team fell behind in the final seconds that the ball was to go to Webster and “let him make a play.” Before Webster’s heroics, Drew Washington and Dayne Herron helped keep Oak Harbor in the game with 19 and 12 points. Webster finished with 11, Chris Hailer six and Gabe Groeing one. Hailer had eight rebounds and Washington seven as the Wildcats topped the ‘Gulls on the boards 37-32. Oak Harbor had 16 turnovers to nine for Everett. The Wildcats had a nice shooting night, hitting 45 percent (20-for-44); Everett shot only 32.7 percent (16-for 49). Jace Chacon scored 23 for Everett (0-1, 2-4). Oak Harbor (1-1, 2-2) hosts Marysville-Pilchuck (0-1, 0-5) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.
prep roundup CHS boys lose to Cougs The Lakewood High School boys basketball team cruised to a 23-4 first-quarter lead and never looked back in a 78-38 win at Coupeville Tuesday. The Cougars combined Coupeville turnovers with several threepoint shots to establish the early lead. From there Lakewood led 38-14 and 63-28 at the end of the second and third quarters. Aaron Trumbull paced the Wolves with eight points. Aaron Curtin scored six, Nick Streubel six, Drew Chan five, Carson Risner four, Ben Etzell four, Josh Wilsey two and Caleb Valko two. Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said, “We had a little better effort than our last game. There are still some positives; we still could get a few wins.

Everett revved up its fast break in the second half to sprint by the host Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team 67-41 Wednesday. At one point in the third quarter, the Seagulls (1-0, 4-1) scored on eight consecutive fast break lay-ins on the way to out scoring the Wildcats 23-7 in the period and pushing a 10-point lead to 28, 50-22. The Wildcat loss negated an outstanding offensive performance by junior Annie Leete, who finished with 28 points, including hitting six of 13 three-point shots. Turnovers burned Oak Harbor early as Everett raced to a 10-0 lead off five Wildcat mistakes. Behind an assist and two threes by Leete, Oak Harbor trimmed the gap to 12-8 at the quarter. Everett started the second period on a 9-1 run
and finished the half ahead 27-17. Nine different Seagulls scored in the game, led by Sydney Rielly with 20. Only three Oak Harbor players scored. Cierra Wiser backed Leete with nine points and Kelsey Rankin had four (and a team-high six rebounds). Oak Harbor shot only 29 percent (14-for49); Everett shot 48 percent (31-for-65). Everett out rebounded Oak Harbor 41-29 and had five fewer turnovers (19 to 24). Oak Harbor coach Trisha Wieber wasn’t pleased with her team’s transition defense, saying it was more of a breakdown by her players than Everett’s execution. She said, “It was an ‘us’ problem, not a ‘them’ problem.” Oak Harbor (0-2, 2-3) plays at Marysville-Pilchuck (0-0, 2-4) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Audubon’s annual Christmas Bird Count is worth crowing about By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
Whidbey Island offers thousands of scenic locations: calm beaches backed by mountain views, water swirling under Deception Pass Bridge. But what about the life existing in these beautiful areas? The Whidbey Audubon Society offers a chance to not only see the beauty of Whidbey, but to take a closer look and help bird species during its annual North Whidbey Christmas Bird Count Saturday, Dec. 22. Volunteers are needed and should sign up right away by emailing Jill Hein at jillhein@comcast.net. The count usually runs from 8 a.m. through 4 p.m., rain or shine. Some groups go out earlier in search of owls. After 4 p.m., groups meet at the Pacific Rim Institute south of Coupeville to record the number of birds counted, tell stories and enjoy
Jill Hein, coordinator. Last year, 50 volunteers counted more than 20,000 birds of 185 different species, Hein said. “It’s really a global effort to census refreshments. bird populations and it gives us the This is the 26th year for the bird best possible long-term overview of count on North Whidbey but it has whether populations are going up or been a national tradition for more down,” said Joe Sheldon, Whidbey than 100 years and it’s the longest Audubon running member. wildlife Collecting census in data over 26 the country, years is espeaccording cially helpful, to Susan he added.

continued. “As the birds go, humans go. They’re an indicator of what’s happening to the ecosystem.” “And for the non-scientists, it’s fun,” said Kim Shepard, Whidbey Audubon member. “And people who are interested in birding are fun to be with.” “Great fellowship with great people,” Sheldon added. “There’s nothing I love more than spending a day looking at birds, really watching birds,” said Whidbey Audubon member Sarah Schmidt. “My earliest memory is of a birdwatching trip.” Their excitement was obvious as group members stopped midsentence to point out a shrike at Crockett Lake. “They come down from the north this time of year,” Sheldon said, adding that they usually only see a few each year. Crockett Lake is “HOLI” land as far as bird habitats go. HOLI stands for Habitat of Local Importance, Sheldon said. “Crockett Lake is only about four feet deep at its deepest but it has an
amazing variety of birds,” Shepard said. It’s a major stopping point for winter shorebirds. “They rely on places like this to stop and feed,” Sheldon said, calling it a “rest area” for the birds to fuel up for their next flight.
Unfortunate beginnings The annual bird count may excite birders today, but the origins of the tradition wouldn’t. Historically, the Christmas counting tradition consisted of heading into the fields to kill as many birds as possible. The team with the most dead birds won, according to Prescott. An officer in the budding National Audubon Society, Frank Chapman, decided to change the tradition by counting the birds and leaving them alive. The first Christmas Bird Count took place in 1900 as 27 volunteers counted birds in 25 places from Ontario to California, Prescott said. Ninety species were counted.

Hear the Christmas bells ring out their song about peace on Earth “I heard the bells on Christmas Day, their old, familiar carols play, and wild and sweet the words repeat of peace on earth, good-will to men!” –Henry Wadsworth Longfellow There are no bells in my neck of the woods, for I live at the end of a country road and the churches that ring bells in town are too far away for me to enjoy. But no matter! The beautiful words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow are rolling through my mind this Christmas, so wild and sweet. I heard bells this week as I pushed my cart down crowd-

read this poem out loud and savor the words before giving thanks for Longfellow first, the gift of his poetry next. In college, my love of words overstepped practicality and any thoughts of a specific career. I eventually earned a bachelor’s degree in American literature and worked in publishing. But it was at UC Davis, while toiling over short stories, books and poetry produced by American writers, did I come to understand that regularly reading poetry would equip me to celebrate the joys as well as withstand the storms of life.
In his poem “The Children’s Hour,” Longfellow describes the complete joy he experienced as a father when his young children would invade his study at the end of a work day by running in, climbing over him and offering unbridled affection. He describes holding them firmly in his arms, wishing never to let them go so he could forever possess them in the “round-tower” of his heart. It’s this beautiful image of a father loving his children that pertains not only to family life but to the love our Heavenly Father has for his children
— those young and those of us merely young at heart. To read “Christmas Bells,” written during the American Civil War, is a gift to ourselves even today as we work to strengthen our faith in and understanding of God, who remains aware of the smallest details of our lives. Faith bears the load in a world where basic human behavior seldom changes and God changes not at all. The issues of war and hate, disappointment, ill health, financial worry and death — all that can threaten our sense of balance and optimism — were
equally present in the time of Longfellow. Yet, “Christmas Bells” reminds us of two unchangeable facts: God is on duty! He is in charge! “And in despair I bowed my head; ‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said; ‘For hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good-will to men!’ Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: ‘God is not dead; nor doth he sleep! The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, with peace on earth, good-will to men!’” Wherever you are, I wish you peace and joy this Christmas.

Donations needed to fund art for high school By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
When the opportunity to receive $21,800 for public art at Oak Harbor High School arose, one Oak Harbor artist and former teacher is determined to get that funding. In order to qualify for this money from the Washington State Arts Commission, Richard Nash needs to raise $9,600 in donations from the community. The $21,800 was set aside for the high school as part of the Art in Public Places program. The money was generated by one-half of 1 percent of the state funds provided for new construction at the high school. “I wanted to make sure that the school district didn’t let the opportunity go by,” Nash said. If Oak Harbor doesn’t qualify for the $21,800, it will be returned to the State Art
birding
Collection and be used by other schools. Earlier this year, the Oak Harbor School Board voted to pursue the funding. Nash volunteered to take on the project because he realized the school’s budget is too tight to afford the $9,600. The money will be collected through donations made to the Oak Harbor Education Foundation earmarked for this project. Donations are 100 percent tax deductible and donators will receive a thank you letter that doubles as a receipt, Nash said. If Nash can’t collect the $9,600, the donations can be returned. “We’ll (Nash and volunteers) try to contact a lot of the businesses in town over the next couple of weeks, hopefully all of them, to give them information,” Nash said.
Individuals who would like to donate can call him directly at 360-675-4856. If Nash can raise the money, the next step will be selecting a committee of no more than seven members who will meet to choose the location of the art in the school, the type of art and the artist from the State’s Public Art Roster. The artwork can be anything from stained glass to sculpture, Nash said, but thanks to community input, it will be unique to Oak Harbor.

isn’t true of most school districts. “As an artist, art is really important to me,” Nash said. Public art creates an atmosphere and enriches lives, Nash said. North Whidbey Middle School has a piece of art from the Washington State Arts Commission: a large sculpture of a pile of books covered in quotes. The public art in downtown Oak Harbor is a prime example of creating a rich atmosphere in the community, Nash said, mentioning the “Stumbling Ducks” and the mermaid statue, among others. “It’s pretty much proven that if you have offerings like that it’s going to develop another level of interest in the city and what the town has to offer,” Nash said, adding that public art can also be a tourist
