Oak Harbor settles claim Mayor accused of creating hostile work environment

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor’s insurance provider has settled a claim for damages with the former city engineer who asserted the mayor created a hostile work environment that forced him to quit.

Eric Johnston asked for

$300,000 but settled for $20,000.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley previously said he wouldn’t agree to any kind of settlement because he felt the claim was baseless.

He now says he relented because the attorneys advised him that going to trial would be much more expensive than the relatively small settlement.

In addition, Dudley stressed that none of the settlement money will come from city coffers, not See claim, A11

City to explore chicken regulations

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor leaders are contemplating changing city code to allow backyard chickens after a former councilman’s fowl purchase left him with a little bit of egg on his face.

Raising backyard chickens is increasing in popularity across the country as many cities and towns have adopted rules that allow people to have small coops of hens. Oak Harbor is surrounded by communities that have adopted the prochicken rules; they include Coupeville, Anacortes, Mount Vernon and even Seattle.

The popular website, w w w. b a c k y a r d c h i c k e n s .

“I estimated that my first egg cost me $1,000.”

Larry Eaton, former city coucilman

com, describes the benefits of raising urban chickens.

Chickens are described as interesting and humorous pets that produce fresh, healthy eggs for the refrigerator and great compost for the garden while eating all the creepy-crawlies in the lawn.

Many people build or purchase special portable coops for small flocks that can be moved around the yard to fresh grass.

Larry Eaton, who’s also a former high school teacher,

decided to raise chickens and ducks in his backyard in order to teach his grandchildren to love and respect animals. He also wanted his family to have organic eggs from chickens he knows live a good life.

In addition, he admits that the fuzzy little chicks and ducklings are so darn cute.

While he’s advocating for the rule change to allow city chickens, Eaton also cautions people to educate themselves before rushing out and buying them.

“Prepare.

Prepare.

Prepare,” he said. “A lot of fun is taken out of it if you don’t prepare.”

Eaton studied Oak Harbor city code and couldn’t find any restrictions on raising fowl, so he went ahead and purchased 10 chicks and five ducklings at the Skagit Farmers Supply last spring.

He said the employees were also under the impression that it was OK to raise chickens and ducks within the city.

The update of Island County’s shoreline master program took a giant leap forward at a meeting in Coupeville late last month.

Following a public hearing, Dec. 27, the Island County Commissioners approved the plan in a split 2-1 vote.

The action largely brings to a close more than two years of work, public outreach and revision. All that’s left now is for the state Department of Ecology to sign off on the plan, and hold a public meeting of its own.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson hailed the

plan a success, praising county staff for their efforts in its development and the community for its ongoing input throughout the process.

“Really substantive changes have been made that I think reflect a good balance,” she said.

Commissioner Angie Homola, in what was her last formal action in office, voiced several concerns and emphasized the importance of clean water in Puget Sound but ultimately agreed to move forward.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson was the sole opposition on the board.

Fast food employee accused of burglary and arson charged

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A Burger King employee accused of breaking into the restaurant after hours, stealing money from the safe and starting a fire to cover his tracks is facing a series of charges in Island County Superior Court, according to Oak Harbor police.

Prosecutors charged 20-year-old Kintorious

London, in Island County Superior Court Jan. 2 with second-degree burglary, second-degree theft, malicious mischief in the first degree and second-degree arson.

Oak Harbor Police Detective Ron Hofkamp said a security camera provided all the evidence he needed to catch the suspect.

Hofkamp explained that a day-shift crew came to work early in the morning on Dec.

22 and discovered that a fire sprinkler system was gushing water in a back office at Burger King. They found the office was unlocked, money was missing from a safe and burned papers were sitting on top of the safe.

Hofkamp arrived to investigate and found that “the DVR surveillance system” was damaged from the water. He brought it back to the office, took it apart to dry, then put

it back together. He found that it still worked and was able to watch the video of the burglary.

The detective explained that the video shows an employee, who he identified as London, unlocking the window of an unused drivethrough window before leaving for the day.

Then at about 3 a.m., a subject is seen inside the restaurant. Hofkamp said the

camera switches to infrared when it’s dark. The subject crawls through a tiny window into the office, opens the safe and takes cash.

The video shows the burglar leaving through a back door, then coming back into the restaurant. He goes into the office and looks directly at the camera, providing the detective with a clear image of his face. London hits the camera, causing it to turn off,

Hofkamp said.

The detectives waited until London returned to work that evening and arrested him. He allegedly admitted to burglarizing the restaurant because he needed money to pay the rent and other bills. He said he returned to the restaurant and set fire to paperwork on top of the safe in an attempt to obscure his fingerprints, the detective said.

Birth John Regan was born Friday, Dec. 28, 2012, weighing in at 9 pounds, 7.5 ounces and 21.75 inches long. John was born to James and Danelle Regan at Naval Hospital Oak Harbor. He joins older brother Carson, 8, and big sister Mia, 3.

Whidbey General Hospital installs new CT machine

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Work began this week on a project to improve the imaging services at Whidbey General Hospital. Those upgrades should improve privacy, safety and speed of service for patients.

Workers are spending the week installing a CT scanner in the bowels of the Coupeville-based hospital.

Hospital diagnostic imaging manager Randy White is quick to note the improvements the new machine will have over its predecessor, which is 10 years old.

For example, if doctors needed a scan of a patient’s lungs, that person would have to hold their breath for 30 seconds in order to get a viable image. With the new machine, that amount of time is reduced to three seconds, White said.

Robert Hawkins, director of diagnostic imaging at Whidbey General Hospital, said changes in imaging will cause patients to receive 50 percent reduction in the amount of radiation while improving the image quality at the same time.

In addition, the bed for the new machine can accommodate people weighing up to 650 pounds while the old

Randy White, diagnostic imaging manager at Whidbey General Hospital, points to the X-ray tube of the hospital’s new CT scanner that is being installed this week. machine could accommodate someone weighing up to 300 pounds, White said, noting that the new machine’s gantry is also the largest size available.

The hospital last upgraded its CT scanner in 2012 and White said the life span for the old scanner is between five years and seven years.

Approximately 5,000

people have had procedures needing the hospital’s CT scanner and 55 percent of those patients come from the hospital’s emergency room.

Workers are renovating

a room closer to the emergency department for the new machine. Currently if a patient needs a CT scan, they are wheeled through the hospital’s main hallway

to get to the machine. White said the new room will be better because it shortens the path of travel and keeps a patient out of the public eye.

Workers started renovations for the new scanner at the start of the week and White said the first clinical use of the machine is scheduled to take place Monday.

Some parts of the hospital had to be powered down for about two-and-a-half hours Monday night so the installation could begin. There wasn’t any heat and the building’s front doors didn’t operate.

White said an employee was on hand to help open the doors and blankets were available in case people got too cold. The hospital staff also communicated with paramedics telling them if it appeared someone needed a CT scan, than they would have to go to a neighboring hospital.

“I think we did a good job last night minimizing the impact to patient care,” White said.

Once the installation of the new scanner is complete, the hospital will be near the top of the technology curve. The hospital recently introduced new MRI and ultrasound equipment.

Friday fires claim two structures on Central Whidbey

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An early morning fire claimed the home of a Greenbank man last week and another fire a few hours later on the same day destroyed a shed south of Coupeville.

The first blaze was reported just after midnight on Friday, Jan. 4. Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue arrived about five minutes after receiving the call to find a single-story house fully ablaze.

Located on Smuggler’s Cove Road, just north of Lagoon Point, firefighters with the aid of South Whidbey Fire/EMS crews worked for about an hour to completely extinguish the fire.

Despite their efforts, the home was completely destroyed.

“It was a 100 percent loss,” Deputy Chief Chad Michael said.

The sole human occupant, Doctor Elijah Bonesteel,

was not hurt. He was the reporting party and was outside by the time firefighters arrived. Bonesteel had a cat as well and the animal also got out safely.

“The cat made it out OK also,” Michael said.

Fire crews were cleaning up at the scene when another call came in for a shed fire just south of Coupeville on Ebey Road.

A South Whidbey engine that was filling in on Central Whidbey during the Greenbank fire responded and firefighters quickly got the small blaze under control.

No one was hurt in that incident either.

Michael said the cause of the shed fire is believed to be combustibles that were too close to a heater. The blaze that destroyed Bonesteel’s home on Smuggler’s Cove Road, however, remains under investigation.

According to Rick Karjalainen, chaplain for the Island County Sheriff’s

Office, Bonesteel is not in need of community assistance.

“He has local help; friends and neighbors,” Karjalainen said.

Bonesteel was offered assistance through his office or through The Island

Chapter of the American Red Cross but he declined, Karjalainen said.

Kwarsick submits resignation as Langley mayor

By JIM LARSEN

South Whidbey Record Editor

Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick emailed a brief letter of resignation to the city of Langley Sunday, with the effective date of his resignation Monday, Jan. 7.

Kwarsick has been caught up in a legal tangle since admitting to falsifying a city document when he was planning director in 2011. It had to do with a relative’s land use permit.

The mayor pleaded guilty to the charge in mid-December. Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill surprised onlookers by sentencing him to 15 days in jail, saying he

betrayed the public confidence. The jail time begins Feb. 3.

Kwarsick wanted to keep his part-time job as mayor, but Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks filed a lawsuit to force him out of office. The lawsuit stated Kwarsick committed “malfeasance” while holding a public office, which disqualifies him from holding any public office.

Last week, Kwarsick resigned from another public office, that of the Town of Coupeville’s part-time planning director.

In his short resignation statement, Kwarsick cast doubt on Banks’ interpreta-

tion of the law.

“The county prosecuting attorney has initiated proceedings against me to force me to resign or face a lawsuit.

Although I have received counsel that suggests I would be successful were I to contest the lawsuit, the financial and personal costs are too great,” he wrote in an email addressed to “The City of Langley.”

Langley Clerk-Treasurer Debbie Mahler confirmed she opened the email Monday morning.

Coincidentally, Mahler’s signature was in an advertisement that appeared in Saturday’s South Whidbey

Record, containing signatures of people urging him to stay in public office and commending him for work he has done in the past.

“I think he was a fantastic mayor,” Mahler said. “It’s a shame. I did advise him to stay on.”

The city will temporarily be headed by Councilman Hal Seligson, who is also mayor pro-tem. Seligson didn’t immediately return a call for comment.

Last week he said an opening for mayor would be filled by calling for qualified applicants, and the council would make a choice from among them.

Clayton “Smokey” Hoover

Clayton “Smokey” Hoover passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 1, 2013 as a result of a major stroke.

His friendly positive attitude was contagious and will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

Born May 19, 1928 in Bartley, Neb., he led a very active life. From Nebraska he moved to Nampa, Idaho then settled on Whidbey Island in Washington State.

There he met and married Frances Winona Webley who preceded him in death in 1996 after 44 years together. His civil service public works career at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island lasted 28 years and he retired in 1978.

Smokey loved horses and always lived where he could be around them. His cowboy boots and hat were never too far away. He later married long-time friend Dorothy Cort and moved to Wickenburg, Arizona in 2001. He especially enjoyed the world-wide traveling they were able to do, as well

Clayton “Smokey” Hoover as visits to their families in Washington and Oklahoma.

He is survived by his wife Dorothy Cort, two children Claudia (Ken) Urquhart, Custer Wash. and Gary (Becky) Schuyten, of Shelton and two stepsons Steven (Sharon) Cort, of Enumclaw, Wash. and Larry (Lisbeth) Cort, of Coupeville, eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters Cleda Link, Boise, Idaho and Dawna Case, Mt. Vernon, and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held later at the Coupeville Cemetery on Whidbey Island.

Age doesn’t hinder Coupeville runner

By JIM WALLER Staff reporter

John Morelock often uses the phrase “run gently out there.”

He said the phrase is “yet to be defined.” And it is not because he hasn’t had time to think it over. He often goes on solitary runs — long solitary runs.

At 70, most get their exercise by chasing around grand or great-grand kids and strolling down to the mail box. Not Morelock. He goes on 100-mile runs.

“I run because it is part of my life,” he said, “It is fun. It is rewarding.”

It hasn’t always been part of his life. He grew up in California and during his youth he played football and ran hurdles, but not long distance. “I never ran more than one lap,” he said. “I guess they did make me run an 880 (half mile) once.”

Morelock started running distance in 1984, in his 40s, to get over the stress of “some ugly labor negotiations.” By February of 1985 he was running his first marathon; he ran another in March and another in April.

He went on his first trail run (16.4 miles) in the Olympic Mountains in August 1985. On the way home, which was Olympia at the time, he found a magazine, UltraRunning, that led to his “downfall.” Now he rarely runs on roads.

“I expect to run tomorrow. After that will, I hope, come another tomorrow.”

John Morelock

Morelock said his first ultra run (any run, pay a fee or not, greater than the standard marathon of 26.2 miles) was in January of 1986.

He added, “I did race a few times, but mostly I just run.” So, how many “runs” has he completed? He said he quit counting in 2002; at that point he “had reached 50,000 miles and about 200 times at or beyond a marathon.”

Not all the runs blend together as some remain vivid: “We (wife Kathy runs too) look across at the Olympics and think of where we have been in there; I think of two o’clock in the

runs anymore,” he said.

“The 12-hour in Redmond Watershed Park in May might be the only one I go to in 2013. I (we) are quite happy to go volunteer at some of the ultras in the area. I am happy to run the trails of Fort Ebey with an occasional trip to some of the trails on the peninsula or in the Cascades.”

In October he returned to Montana for the 50-mile Le Grizz at Glacier National Park’s Horse Shoe Reservoir.

In 1986, he won the Masters

Division of the race at 44 in 6:30; this time he clocked a 10:19, the fastest time for any runner 70 or older.

Morelock said he occasionally runs or walks with his wife, but generally he runs alone and his routine is different from most: “We are sort of retired and I can run during the day when the trails are empty. I pause to look at trees, water, things that move, distant mountains — stuff ‘serious’ runners seldom do.”

In addition to his runs, he and his wife walked the 600 miles of Europe’s el Camino de Santiago in 2004. After that they stopped to visit her parents at the Sunnyside Cemetery and settled in Coupeville with one break.

They spent July 2009 to May 2010 volunteering at an Indian reservation in North Dakota.

Morelock has no plans of stopping; the miles and observations will continue.

“I expect to run tomorrow. After that will, I hope, come another tomorrow.”

Letters to the editor Gun control

Local law doesn’t stop criminals Editor, The Oak Harbor City Council and their spokesperson Rick Almberg, have determined to continue their tradition of ignoring the law and the public good.

In an effort to make political gain off of a national tragedy, the council has determined to ignore common sense, the laws of Washington state, the Washington Supreme Court and their own city attorney and promote an illegal statute within the municipal code (6.14.070).

The concealed carry laws of this state are set by the legislature to ensure that cities do not create a patchwork of laws that are not only not enforceable from a practical standpoint but would create instant criminals of those law abiding citizens that do their best to be compliant.

How would one traveling from Oak Harbor to Lynnwood to Tacoma know which neighborhoods have established some hidden restriction if the council has their way?

The federal government understands that interstate airlines couldn’t function if each state could generate their own rules; therefore the feds hold exclusive authority to regulate them.

For the same reason the state legislature holds exclusive authority to regulate the concealed carry laws of this state.

One doesn’t create or continue a local law that is contrary to the law of the land just because it suits some personal agenda, it leaves the city open to civil

suit and I suspect since the council is fully aware of the illegality of their actions and have so been advised by the city attorney, the city’s insurance carrier would decline to participate in any action.

Additionally if any action is taken by the OHPD pursuant to this ordinance both the chief and the involved officer would be similarly liable and I suspect the Island County Prosecutor and the attorney general would look into any possible criminal liability on the part of the individual council members.

Does anyone really think that if law abiding citizens are precluded from protecting themselves that the criminals and the insane will stop their havoc because there is municipal ordinance or sign telling them not to?

Criminals prefer unarmed victims, remember, the police respond in minutes when seconds count.

Needs clarification

Greenbank article needs correcting Editor, “Group recommends Port of Coupeville should consider selling Greenbank Farm” was the attention-grabbing, but misleading headline for the front page Jan. 4 issue of the Whidbey News-Times.

A group of eight citizens

appointed by the Port of Coupeville to consider future options for the Greenbank Farm actually recommended the following: 1. That the port should not extend the expiring contract arrangements used with the current Greenbank Farm Management Group with eight votes in agreement.

2. That the port, as it now functions, should not assume the management of the Greenbank Farm without the assistance of a management group with seven in agreement and one disagreeing.

3. That the port should solicit a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the selection of future management of Greenbank Farm.

Our report contains specific recommendations regarding a contractual and working relationship with eight votes in agreement.

The recommendation

that the port not extend the existing management contract was the most important.

It was not even mentioned in the news article.

While the article focused on financial transparency issues, the basis for the recommendations had to do with the port’s decisions, or failure to make decisions, regarding the farm’s operations.

The executive planning group’s report made it clear that selling the farm was an option “not explored,” and hardly discussed. A vote was only taken, “so that the commissioners understand that we find that the management and operations of Greenbank Farm need to be improved.”

The group did not recommend that the port “pursue” a sale of the farm.

The group stated, “We believe the port needs to make this project success-

ful or they might as well consider selling.”

Exploring the conditional sale of the farm with restrictive covenants was only something to be considered if the port was unable to “make the project successful.”

As chairperson of the executive planning group, and after spending six months researching the issue with others, I believe the project can be successful.

But, it will take more than a new arrangement with a management group.

The port commissioners will need to change the way they conduct business — and it will take an involved public to make sure they do.

Our report is supposed to be on the port’s website at www.portofcoupeville.org.

Wetland identified in section of planned Freeland Trail

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An unexpected discovery has driven up the cost of Freeland Trail and will likely delay the project’s completion, Island County officials said recently.

Public Works Director Bill Oakes alerted the Board of Commissioners that a wetland had been identified on the northern section of the planned path along Highway 525.

It was not only a surprise for project planners but it will also affect the total price tag and the project’s timeline.

“It’s caused extra work both in design and (wetland) mitigation,” Oakes said.

The trail, which will mirror paved paths such as Rhododendron and Kettles Trail on Central Whidbey, will stretch about one mile through Freeland, from the intersection at Main Street to Bush Point Road.

They are all part of a larger and long-range county parks plan to build a trail system that snakes along the state highway from Deception Pass to the Mukilteo ferry dock. Segments are to be completed as funding becomes available.

As for the latest portion in Freeland, the trail is planned to

run along the south side of the highway, providing a pedestrian pathway through town and to an Island Transit park and ride planned at the intersection at Bush Point Road.

The surprise wetland is located in the fields across the highway from Nichol’s Brothers Boat Builders and has forced the project to be divided into two phases, Oakes said.

The section between Main Street and Cameron Road will be built first and the rest will follow once the county’s hired consulting firm, Otak, has made the necessary design and permitting modifications.

Oakes requested an approximately $37,000 amendment to Otak’s contract to address the changes. The increase, which was voted on by the board Monday, Dec. 24, raises the maximum contract amount to $165,000.

Oakes said the inadvertent discovery will require the construction of a trestle that spans the development sensitive area. Those costs have yet to be determined but it will likely push back the completion date.

According to Oakes, the entire project is expected to run about $1 million. About $800,000 of the tab

Plans to build Freeland Trail, a paved path like Rhododendron Trail on Central Whidbey, suffered a hiccup recently with the discovery of an unknown wetland along the proposed route. will be covered with federal grants and the remainder with county road funds.

While only about $600,000 of the federal funds have been acquired,

Oakes said he plans to have the rest secured in time for construction on phase 1 to begin this summer.

The hope is that the wetland

mitigation planning will be completed in time for construction of both phases to be seamless but there is a good chance phase two will be delayed.

Using mainly native materials such as peeled fir poles, Pole Building workers raised the walls and spanned a large open space with log trusses.

The river rock chimney, which once was used for the kitchen’s wood cook stove, features a small star pattern in the upper portion.

A rustic wooden chandelier lights the auditorium space.

Today the Pole Building, renamed for fair manager Gust Skarberg in 2001, accommodates the Whidbey Island fair offices, a large auditorium, smaller multipurpose rooms and storage areas and an independent small theatre.

Currently, the Whidbey Island Fair Association is sponsoring a fund drive to restore and renovate the Pole Building’s kitchen to make it more appealing as a year-round, community gathering place.

Fair Administrator Sandey Brandon said, “The Island County Fair Association received a $50,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Agriculture to upgrade the kitchen’s infrastructure, but we need to raise $75,000 more from the community for appliances, cabinets and fixtures.”

“It’s an honor to have these historic buildings put on the registry, and it makes us more determined to preserve and protect them,” said Brandon.

“We’re all stewards of our fair buildings.”

Joshua Crebbin placed first and Jahleel Vester and Jacob Fitzgerald third in the Everett Classic wrestling tournament at Jackson High School Saturday.

Oak Harbor finished 10th in the 27-team, 600-wrestler tournament with 66 points. Timberline placed first with 175.

Wildcat coach Mike Crebbin said Oak Harbor was missing several key wrestlers (including Cody Fakkema, Mark Johnston, Ray Quinday, Jackson Constant and Nathanael Stanford) because of illness or injury.

He added that his team, overall, did not wrestle well and many athletes missed practice while on vacation during winter break.

Coach Crebbin said, “The long break in action for us definitely showed with kids missing weight and demonstrating poor technique and conditioning.”

He said Joshua Crebbin, Fitzgerald and Vester all started

out “rusty” but “improved as the day went on.”

The Wildcats (5-1) will need to get back in the groove quickly.

First they host tough MarysvillePilchuck (3-3) at 7 p.m. Thursday, then go to Highline for a double dual meet Friday and to Mercer Island for a tournament Saturday.

Joshua Crebbin (160 pounds) opened the Everett Classic with a 12-5 win and then strung together three straight pins to earn the title.

Fitzgerald (138) took third the hard way, losing in the first round 11-5 and then clawing through the losers’ bracket for four wins (9-4, 5-3, fall, 14-7).

Vester, a junior, had to defeat his sophomore brother, Jeremy, 5-0 to earn third at 132 pounds.

Jahleel Vester won twice by falls before losing 14-6 in the semifinals.

Jeremy Vester, who placed fifth, won 16-6 and then lost 9-3. In the losers’ bracket, he won 18-2 and by a fall before losing to Jahleel.

Oak Harbor, Coupeville girls both collect comeback wins Wildcats all the Wiser

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Good thing Ciera Wiser is a quick healer.

Wiser played a key role in the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team’s 48-44 comeback win over visiting Mountlake Terrace Friday.

Wiser hurt her knee and had to leave the game in a win over Sedro-Woolley two days before, and it wasn’t known until game time whether the senior would be able to play against the Hawks.

Oak Harbor trailed 40-29 early in the fourth period. Six points by Wiser and four each

by Kelsey Rankin and Jalani Bobo helped the Wildcats slice the lead to 44-43.

With 48 seconds remaining, Wiser sank a free throw to tie the game. Wiser then rebounded a Terrace miss and the ‘Cats regained possession with 31 seconds left.

Annie Leete missed for Oak Harbor, but Wiser rebounded and got the ball back to Leete, who was fouled. Leete drilled both free throws with

17.9 seconds left to give Oak Harbor its first lead, 46-44.

Wiser then stole a Hawk pass, led the fast break and fed Leete for a layup to secure the win.

Oak Harbor coach Trisha Wieber said, “We are so glad that Ciera was able to play.”

Wieber added, “We played good defense overall in the fourth quarter which allowed us to come back.”

Another key factor was taking care of the ball. After committing 23 turnovers in the first three quarters, the Wildcats had only three in the fourth.

Seven Oak Harbor turnovers helped Mountlake Terrace (0-5, 2-9) take a 17-9 first-quarter lead. The Hawks led 27-21 at the break.

Rankin had a big offensive night, hitting seven of 10 shots to score 18 points and keep Oak Harbor afloat early.

Leete, Bobo and Wiser finished with 10 points each.

Oak Harbor had a huge advantage at the line, hitting 19 of 26 free throws (73 percent), while the Hawks shot only six, making three.

The Wildcats (2-3, 5-7) go

to Shorewood (4-1, 9-3) at 7:15 tonight.

Changes lead to Wolf win

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Cierra Wiser scores two of her 10 points in the Wildcats’ comeback win Friday.

Second-half adjustments helped the Coupeville girls basketball team to a 39-33 win at Granite Falls Friday.

Coupeville, trailing 21-14 at the break, “heard loud and clear” the halftime message from coach David King. The Wolves made adjustments in attitude, effort and execution in the second half, King said, and the result was the Cascade Conference win.

Granite Falls (0-6, 1-11) looked to free-up its top scorer Emily Schneiders off multiple screens, and Schneiders responded by sinking 15 points in the first half. The Wolves shut her out in the second half.

Coupeville was also hurt by turnovers, committing 24 on the night; Granite Falls had only eight.

The Tigers led 9-6 after the first period, Coupeville getting four of its points from Hailey Hammer.

King said the Wolves got

good looks but couldn’t connect.

Schneider scored 10 points in the second quarter to help the Tigers to their 21-14 halftime lead.

Bree Messner and Hammer scored four points each and Bessie Walstad two, and Coupeville cut the gap to 26-24 heading into the final frame.

The Wolves switched to a 3-2 zone and rebounded well in the fourth quarter, King said, as Coupeville wrestled control of the game.

Amanda Fabrizi and Makana Stone led the offensive comeback. Fabrizi hit two huge threes in the fourth.

The first gave the Wolves their first lead, the second upped the margin to six.

Stone scored nine of her 11 points in the quarter.

For the game, Stone led the Wolves with five rebounds, six steals and two blocks.

Fabrizi finished with eight points, Hammer eight, Messner six and Walstad six.

Coupeville (3-3, 5-6) hosts Cedarcrest (5-1, 10-2) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Good starts not enough as Wildcat, Wolf boys lose Hawks’ defense slows Oak Harbor The Mountlake Terrace boys basketball team defeated visiting Oak Harbor 65-53 in Wesco 3A crossover action Friday.

Oak Harbor led 15-10 after the first quarter, but the Hawks (4-1, 9-2), ranked 10th in the Seattle Times’ state 3A poll, ramped up their defensive pressure in the second and third quarters to outscore the Wildcats 44-21 in the middle periods.

Terrace led 31-23 at halftime and 54-36 after three quarters.

Mountlake Terrace forced 17 Wildcat turnovers while committing

only 10, leading to a 16-6 advantage in points off turnovers.

Drew Washington topped Oak Harbor with 18 points and seven rebounds. JoJo Webster added 14 points, four assists and three steals.

Coupeville trailed by only three, 17-14, after the first quarter and was still in it at halftime, down 35-24.

While the Wolves have a trend of playing well in the opening period, they also have a pattern of playing poorly in the third. This time, the Tigers outscored Coupeville 23-9 to pull away.

isn’t sure why his team struggles after halftime: “The third quarter is our nemesis. I have no idea why.

Maybe it is the mindset we played well in the first half, maybe we are tired.”

Smith credited Granite Falls with playing a “sticky defense” that frustrated his team.

The Tigers shot well, Smith said, adding “they aren’t very big, but they work well together.”

Not all was bad for the Wolves.

Ben Etzell scored a career high 21 points. Smith said Etzell “played a good, solid floor game” and “went to the basket well.”

Another positive is the progression of the Coupeville offense. After not scoring more than 38 points in the first eight games, the Wolves have surpassed 40 in the past three.

Smith said the growth in offense is because of “better shooting, better execution and better understanding.”

Aaron Curtin and Caleb Valko had four points, Carson Risner two and Morgan Payne one.

Catz comeback for 2 hoop wins The Oak Harbor Catz eighth-grade select girls basketball team pushed through slow starts in each game to finish with a 2-1 record in the Bo Alleckson Hoop Classic at La Conner Saturday and Sunday.

Down 21-3 to Prostock of Bellingham, the Catz trimmed the gap to 25-22 with 1:41 left but couldn’t quite complete the comeback, falling 27-22.

Coach Gary Brundidge said the Catz received balanced scoring from Julie Jansen, Roshanna Graham, Bryn Langrock and Katylyn Wallin. The defensive play of Jaden Jesus, Deasha O’Brien, Kayla Wiley and Lauren Jones helped the Catz get back into the game, Brundidge said.

After another slow start

in game two with the Pioneers, the Catz recovered to win 24-20.

On Sunday, the Catz trailed Mount Vernon 9-1 before storming back for a 22-19 win.

Brundidge said the leadership of Langrock; the defense of Wiley, Wallin and Graham; and the interior passing of Jesus and Langrock fueled the comeback.

claim CONTINUED FROM A1 even a deductible.

“It cost us nothing to part ways with Eric Johnston,” he said. “...

If it would have cost the city of Oak Harbor anything, I would have fought it tooth and nail to the end.”

Oak Harbor attorney Chris Skinner, who represents Johnston, said it speaks volumes about the strength of his client’s claim that the Washington Cities Insurance Authority would make the settlement proposal after reviewing the evidence for 70 days.

Skinner is also representing former Police Chief Rick Wallace, who has filed a lawsuit against the city,

plan CONTINUED FROM A1 “It’s not close enough for me,” she said. “It’s just far too restrictive and drives the cost of businesses and residences up. There is just too much I can’t get close to on it.”

The document determines how existing and new development within 200 feet of the shoreline will be managed. State law requires the plan be updated every eight years with the latest advancements in science and best management practices.

While Emerson was the only commissioner to vote against the update’s adoption, the document has seen its share of criticism.

Policies and regulations surround-

Fowl CONTINUED FROM A1 Eaton built giant coops and went about raising the birds, learning a few lessons along the way. Then one day the city’s animal control officer showed up at his door, letting him know that he was running afoul of the law by keeping the flock. Eaton ended up calling the city’s planning director in order to find the fowl ban in a hidden corner of city code.

Not wanting to break his grandchildren’s hearts, Eaton took his case to city council. He spoke during a public comment period, asking the council to consider following the example of other cities and changing the code to allow a limited number of chickens and possibly ducks in backyards.

The council members readily agreed to consider the request and will brood over the issue during a meeting in March.

claiming that the mayor improperly fired him this summer. In that case, the insurance authority denied the initial claim for damages after just two weeks.

Dudley has ruffled a lot of feathers in the city by firing a series of administrators after taking office a year ago. He couldn’t fire Johnston, however, without cause because of his for-cause employment status.

Back when Dudley was a councilman, he and Johnston clashed on a number of occasions.

Even today, Dudley is willing to detail the list of projects he feels went wrong under Johnston’s watch, from the many errors in the Oak Harbor Street project to the inadvertent discovery of Native American remains on Pioneer Way. He claims Johnston had a problem with taking responsibility for mis-

takes and not being open with the council.

Johnston’s claim states that Dudley, after becoming mayor, tried to manufacture sufficient cause to terminate him. When those efforts failed because of Johnston’s exemplary record, Dudley allegedly tried to make his job unbearable, according to the claim.

The claim accuses Dudley of improperly investigating past and current projects handled by Johnston; making public statements about Johnston “of an untrue and disrespectful nature;” berating Johnston within the workplace, public settings and publications; exclusion of Johnston from meetings and communications pertinent to his job; and reassignment of his job responsibilities, among other actions.

“The actions of the Mayor left Mr. Johnston no choice but to seek other employment and resign from employment with the City of Oak Harbor,” the claim states. “This decision was made solely as a result of Mayor Dudley’s threats to terminate Mr. Johnston’s employment and the Mayor’s related, harassing behavior.”

Dudley, however, said all the accusations are contrary to fact.

For example, Dudley said he can only remember criticizing Johnston once since he became mayor; he told Johnston to proofread his PowerPoint presentation that had errors.

As far as excluding Johnston from certain meetings, Dudley claims that the former mayor actually made that call after Johnston was allegedly disrespectful towards

Native Americans who were working on Pioneer Way after the cultural remains were discovered.

Dudley said Johnston tried to compel members of the tribe to work quicker, which upset them during a sensitive time. Dudley claims the former mayor excluded Johnston from meetings with the tribes, a practice Dudley continued after coming into office.

As for the future, Dudley said he wishes Johnston well in his new job in Bellingham. He said he’s pleased with the new city engineer and the direction of the department.

“We understand that we are human,” he said. “From now on, when we do make mistakes: A. We admit the fact. B. We apologize. C. We try to figure out how we don’t do it again.”

ing aqua culture and public beach access were among the hottest topics and remained so right to the end.

Ian Jefferds, owner of Penn Cove Shellfish, attended the public hearing and expressed concern that the rules were both unclear and too restrictive. One section made it uncertain whether aquaculture would be allowed in select areas along the east side of Whidbey Island unless a business could demonstrate that it would not have an adverse environmental impact.

Jefferds said he’s worked hard to improve the water quality in Penn Cove over the years and that he was “disheartened” to see such a rule proposed.

“To put a blanket condemnation on a business that’s been helpful in this county seems, well, it seems ridiculous,” he said.

The issue was debated heavily by the commissioners but, in the end, the board agreed to exempt existing operations — the rule would apply only to new operations.

The board was not so flexible when it came to public access, however, as the commissioners maintained an earlier revision that essentially made it optional for new waterfront communities of between five and nine homes to provide a public access to the beach.

Price Johnson said she’d heard from many constituents who questioned her reluctance in making it a requirement. She explained that she believed the time and expense of implementing such a rule would outweigh the public benefit — a road end might provide just a few feet of public access, for example.

It would be more advantageous, she said, to develop accesses to

existing publicly owned shorelines and pursue new properties large enough to be truly useful.

“For the limited resources we have, I just see that as a higher priority,” Price Johnson said.

Homola disagreed, arguing that she believed “substantial access” could be gained. It was not such an obstacle, however, that she was willing to hamstring the program’s adoption.

Emerson was against such a requirement, claiming that providing public access on private property is not a “mandate” of the state.

Beach access advocates are hoping the Department of Ecology will feel otherwise when it begins its review of the county’s adopted plan this year.

Mike McVay, founder of Island Citizens For Public Beach Access, said he hopes the state will put

the teeth back into the regulations by removing softened language, which was added later.

He said he was “disappointed” the board did not go further to protect the public’s right to access the waterfront.

“This battle for beach access isn’t new and it isn’t going to go away,” McVay said.

Now that the program has been adopted by the board, the county must submit the rules to the Department of Ecology where agency officials will review the plan in detail.

The department will offer a 30-day public comment period and hold at least one public meeting in Island County before making a final decision.

Eaton suggested that Oak Harbor could look to the ordinance passed in Coupeville in 2011. It allows residents to have up to six hens.

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said she knows four households that now raise chickens, but there could be more. She’s not aware of any chicken-related complaints, though there have been a couple of times when hens have gotten loose and had to be chased home by their owners.

“I’m not aware of any problems. I’m glad we were able to allow people the opportunity to raise chickens in their backyards,” Conard said.

She said she prefers not to have chickens, but gets her eggs at the farmers market.

In Oak Harbor, Eaton admits that he overdid things by getting 10 chickens and five ducks.

He suggests that a maximum of six birds should be allowed in a lot. He also concedes that he wasn’t ready when he took on the responsibility and underestimated

the cost. He didn’t start building the large coops and even larger fenced runs until after bringing the babies home.

He used recycled materials, but still the costs weren’t exactly chicken feed.

“I estimated that my first egg cost me $1,000,” he said.

Two of the baby hens turned out to be roosters, so he gave them away to a farmer. Three of the ducks turned out to be drakes, so he had to build another enclosure to separate the sexes.

While his family enjoyed the larger eggs that the

ducks provided, they didn’t like all the noise they make early in the morning.

“The female ducks that make all the noise,” Eaton said. “They’re loud. Oh, they’re loud.”

As a result, the ducks were also sent away to a country home. They are now “practice ducks” for an Australian herding dog in training.

There’s also predators to consider. Even though he lives in the middle of the city, he lost one of the ducks to a nighttime visitor — most likely a raccoon. Neighborhood dogs and cats may also like the taste of chicken.

SHOE REPAIR NOW OPEN 360-682-5127

312 SE Pioneer Way Oak Harbor

For now, Eaton’s chickens are living the life of luxury in the middle of the city.

He allows the birds to “free range” in his large backyard during the day and hustles

them into secure, giant-sized coops at night. They only eat organic chicken feed and what they can forage in the yard. And people dote on them.

Jake Jarrell, 8, giggles as Dave Coleburn places a lizard on his head. Jarrell stayed after the presentation to pet and hold a few of the critters.

It took three kids to hold up the boa constrictor Coleburn brought and everyone seemed to be in awe of the green anaconda.

When Coleburn asked for a number of female volunteers, they had no idea they were going to take part in a tegu kissing contest.

“It’s kind of like kissing your dad but not so gross,” Coleburn said, hefting the long-tongued reptile. The girls closed their eyes and puckered up for a kiss from prince charming. Amid laughter from the audience and a few cries of disgust from the contestants, Coleburn moved down the line of volunteers as the tegu flicked its tongue over each girl’s face.

“It felt sort of weird and it felt sort of squishy and soft,” Hannah Mayne, 7, said later about the one-of-a-kind experience.

Next was a crowd favorite: Pepper the arctic fox. Children “awwed” and reached to pet the soft fox. They were also excited to pet an owl from Missouri, but not so much when Coleburn brought out a green mamba, the deadliest snake in Africa, and a blood python from Borneo. The presentation ended with a 13-foot king cobra. The venom in one bite can kill 20 people or one grown elephant, Coleburn said.

Rotary Club seeks applications for community service grants program The Oak Harbor Rotary Club announces the initiation of an annual Community Service Grants Program. The community grants are intended to promote the quality of life in the greater Oak Harbor area.

These grants will support 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations in the community that have special projects or needs not funded by general funding sources.

Grants will be awarded within the range of $500 to $2,500. The club anticipates making two $500, two $1,000, one $2,000 and one $2,500 grants in 2013.

“Rotary has been contributing to the Oak Harbor community since 1936. We are well known for our donations of more than $250,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors and for spearheading the annual Fourth of July parade

and for donating the land that the farmers market sits on and for leading the Oak Harbor High School football stadium fundraising effort as well as countless other charitable causes in the community,” said Rotary Club President Mike Hakanson.

Rotary member George Saul, who is heading up the grants program said, “We hope the annual grants program can help the club rationalize our annual giving and we hope it will serve as a needs assessment over time.”

The 2013 program started accepting applications Jan. 4.

Applications for the 2013 awards must be received by Feb. 15 and awardees will be announced in March.

The grantee organizations will be honored at a check presentation during Rotary’s lunch

meeting on Friday, March 29. The public is invited to attend.

Application instructions for the grants can be found on the Oak Harbor Rotary Club website: www.club runner.ca/Portal/Home. aspx?cid=806.

Anyone may make contributions to the Oak Harbor Rotary Club Community Service Grants Program at any time. Donation checks should be made payable to Oak Harbor Rotary Foundation and mailed to Oak Harbor Rotary Club, PO Box 442, Oak Harbor, WA 98277. Note “Community Grants” on the memo line.

Rotary is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and contributions may be tax deductible.
