Navy releases OLF flight schedule By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
In the spirit of community partnership, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island officials released this week a flight schedule for Outlying Field on Central Whidbey – a practice abandoned years ago for security reasons. A news release Monday announced that field-carrier landing practice, commonly known as touch-and-go operations, would restart Tuesday, Jan. 8, at Outlying Field just south of Coupeville following the holiday season. Flights were planned for the afternoon to early evening hours through Thursday and during the afternoon only on Friday. The release advised that weather and operational or training requirements could result in unexpected changes to the announced schedule.
According to base spokesman Mike Welding, the Navy plans to publicize a similar flight schedule in local newspapers and on NAS’s Whidbey’s Facebook page on a regular basis. “Our plan is to be consistent and get it out every week,” Welding said. “It’s an outreach program to let people know what’s going on with the training operations at OLF Coupeville,” he said. The announcement comes on the heels of a December meeting with elected officials and the base’s top brass to discuss an outpouring of community concern over jet noise this past summer. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, who worked to set up the meeting, is hailing the gathering a success. The schedule was a result of the meeting and discussions about how communication with the public could be
Next week Field carrier landing practice operations for aircraft stationed at NAS Whidbey Island are scheduled to occur at Outlying Field near Coupeville on the afternoons of Monday, Jan. 14 and Tuesday, Jan. 15. Flight operations are subject to change due to weather, operational and/or training requirements.
improved, she said. While this will not solve the issue of jet noise, providing residents with a little more predictability about when jets will be buzzing over their homes may help mitigate the problem, she said. “It doesn’t make (the noise) acceptable but it’s nice to know,” Conard said. “I believe this is just a first step in improved communication,” she said. Attending the meeting with Conard was Island
County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a representative from Second District Congressman Rick Larsen’s office, Navy League President Jim Slowik, base commander Capt. Jay Johnston and other leading base officials. “I’m pleased that NAS Whidbey Island has taken my suggestion to share more information about their flight operations with the community, consistent See FLIGHTS, A8
A detective’s decision to buy a cheap cup of coffee led to the apprehension of two men suspected in dozens of car prowls in Oak Harbor. Last year, three detectives with the Oak Harbor Police Department and the Navy police were investigating more than 50 nighttime vehicle break-ins in Oak Harbor and base housing from September to early December. The suspects
stole purses, electronic devices and other items from unlocked cars. Detective Rob Hofkamp said the detectives had numerous images of the two suspects from store surveillance tapes. The men used stolen credit cards to purchase items at various stores in town, as well as rent DVDs from Red Box. The problem was, nobody could identify the men. Their See CAPTURE, A7
Arson cited as cause of the Deep Sea’s demise By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
The fire that preceded the sinking of the Deep Sea crab boat in Penn Cove last spring has been determined to be the result of arson, according to a report released by the state Department of Natural Resources Thursday. The investigation, conducted by the King County Sheriff’s Office’s fire/arson investigation unit, determined that an unknown number of people “ignited and burned” the vessel prior to it’s sinking, May 12. The blaze is believed to have started in the vessel’s freezer hold, which was located on the forward deck, but what was used to start the fire could not be determined, said Craig Muller, supervisor for the special fire unit. “It was an undetermined source of ignition,” Muller said. Also, no suspects have been identified and Toni Weyman Droscher, a DNR spokesperson, confirmed that the agency will not be
pursing the matter further. “It’s pretty much a closed case,” she said. The Deep Sea arrived in Penn Cove by tow in December of 2011. The vessel sat at anchor just outside Penn Cove Shellfish’s mussel rafts for the next four months until it caught fire and sank. The vessel spent three weeks on the bottom, spilling more than 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into Penn Cove, before it was raised and towed to Stabbert Yacht and Ship dry dock in Seattle. The fiasco resulted in local closures of shellfish harvesting and cost state and federal agencies at least $3 million. It also severely impacted Penn Cove Shellfish, a mussel farm just west of the Coupeville Wharf. The Deep Sea was See ARSON, A8

Park wants stage to go with new amphitheater Deception Pass to host state parks centennial celebration By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Deception Pass State Park rangers are looking for local groups and individuals interested in helping to build a stage to go with its rebuilt amphitheater. If possible, they hope to get the project done in time for the summertime celebration of the park system’s centennial. Park Manager Jack Hartt said he was ecstatic by the work done last year by Oak Harbor Boy Scout Nathan Wagner. Wagner and the volunteers he enlisted tore out the aging amphitheater near Cranberry Lake and rebuilt it from scratch last spring. “The new design doubles the capacity, moves people closer and is more user-friendly,” he said. “It was really quite an upgrade.” Wagner, a junior at Oak Harbor High School, explained that he took on the project as an Eagle Scout Project. He’s a member of Troop

Oak Harbor teenager Nathan Wagner rebuilt the amphitheater at Deception Pass as an Eagle Scout Project. 4063, sponsored by Oak Harbor LDS 2nd Ward Church. Wagner said he approached the park management about doing a project and was given a list of options. He chose the biggest challenge. “I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but I didn’t realize how much,” he said. The first step, Wagner said, was to come up with a design for the rows
of seating for about 250 people. He went to a family friend, former city engineer Eric Johnston, and asked for his help. Together they came up with the terraced design. Next, he approached a couple of businesses for help with the materials. Frontier Industries of Oak Harbor donated thousands of dollars worth of lumber while Fastenal donated nuts and bolts. Hartt said the Deception Pass
Foundation also contributed to the project. Wagner pulled together volunteers from several Boy Scout groups, his church and the high school. They measured the site, tore out the old amphitheater with a backhoe and then got out the auger. They drilled 128 holes in the soil, put the posts in the holes and secured them with concrete. The bench tops were attached to the
sawed-off posts. In all, it took 738 man-hours to complete the project. Wagner spent six months on the entire project, but the actual construction took just a month. “It went surprisingly fast,” Hartt said. “They were done just in time for the Memorial Day weekend.” Hartt said the amphitheater, which has a view of the famous bridge, is a busy place in the summer. The evening interpretive programs are held there, as is the Arts in the Park musical program and various presentations. On Aug. 3, the governor and other bigwigs from across the state are scheduled to visit the amphitheater for a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the state’s park system. While Deception Pass State Park is just 88 years old, it’s the most popular in the state system and will be the hub for the centennial celebrations. While the new benches will be perfect for the ceremony, the amphitheater needs a stage. Hartt said he’s hoping to find another gogetter like Wagner — or a group of go-getters — willing to take on the project from start to finish. Anyone interested can contact him at 360-675-3767, extension 26.
Mayor wants to look at other firms for design of treatment plant By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The Oak Harbor City Council will decide next Tuesday whether or not to continue working with an engineering firm that the mayor doesn’t trust. Among the items on the City Council agenda for the regular meeting is a request to solicit “requests for qualifications” for the design of a new sewage treatment plant,
which is estimated to cost $93.5 million. The meeting at City Hall begins at 6 p.m. The national firm Carollo Engineers was chosen to do the facilities plan and preliminary design work two years ago through a “requests for qualification” process. A panel of city leaders reviewed the qualifications of four firms that applied and overwhelmingly chose Carollo to do the work, which has cost about $1.2 million so far.
Mayor Scott Dudley said the former city engineer had apparently planned to keep working with Carollo through the design phase, but he wanted the council to have the choice of looking at other firms. “I think we should keep our options open,” he said. “I like options.” Still, Dudley said he thinks it’s likely that the council will reject the option and continue with Carollo. He admits that
going through the process of picking a new firm may delay the project by about three months, but he feels it’s worth it. Dudley hasn’t been shy about criticizing Carollo for the work the company has done in helping the city pick a site for the treatment plant. He was upset when it came to light that the “Freund site” next to the RV park had been ruled out of consideration early in the process for
unclear reasons; the mayor and others felt it would have been the least costly option if given due consideration. He argues that the company presented information in a biased manner to encourage the council to pick the “North Crescent Harbor” site that was the choice of the former city engineer, who wanted to put a water reclamation project there. Dudley cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of building
the plant in the vicinity of Windjammer Park. In addition, Dudley said he doesn’t completely trust the cost estimates presented by Carollo, especially for the large Freund site. “No matter where they look, it was $93.5 million,” he said. “It just doesn’t make sense.” An official from Carollo declined to comment, but referred the News-Times to the city engineer.

Contract snafu could extend group’s control of Greenbank Farm More time needed to comply with $1.5 million grant By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times
Cathie Espes, a recipient of Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers, proudly shows off the organization’s sticker on the back of her wheelchair. The nonprofit group is seeking applications for 2013. The deadline is Jan. 31.
Hearts and Hammers looking for homeowners who need help By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Cathie Espes lives alone. She’s 68 years old, is legally blind and is confined to a wheelchair. Life isn’t easy for her. Everyday things, from getting a midnight snack to simply reading the day’s mail, are real challenges. More difficult chores, like cleaning her home’s gutters? Impossible. Yet, Espes likely has some of the cleanest gutters on the block. Her house has a fresh coat of paint, she has a new toilet and the thick carpet that once made getting around in her wheelchair a regular nightmare has been replaced by smooth floors. Even the pesky closet door that refused to stay on its track has been fixed. But, perhaps most impressive of all, everything was done for free, or rather, for nothing more than the cost of friendship. “It brings tears to my eyes and gets me all choked up just thinking about it,” Espes said. Espes is one of many residents whose lives have been made a little bit easier by Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers, an all-volunteer organization made up solely of people within the community – friends, colleagues and neighbors. It was established five years ago as an off-shoot of its sister organization in South Whidbey, which was founded in 1994. It was the first Hearts and Hammers in the United States.

Skubi said.
A discrepancy with two different contracts could extend the Greenbank Farm Management Group’s agreement with the Port of Coupeville to oversee the publicly owned farm by more than one year. At issue is the management group’s lease with the port — which expires March 31, 2014 — and the management group’s contract with the then-known state Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development — which is fulfilled at the earliest June 2015. The state agency, which eventually became the state Department of Commerce, gave the management group a $1.5 million grant in 2003 that funded construction of a new building at the Greenbank Farm. One of the contract clauses states that any buildings constructed using state funds have to be “held and used” by the Greenbank Farm Management Group for a period of at least 10 years from the date the building is occupied, which took place in June 2005. If the management group doesn’t comply with the contract, then it would have to repay the $1.5 million principal plus interest going back to when the contract was signed. Michael Stansbury, in a letter to the Port of Coupeville, described the difference in contract dates as a “mutual mistake.” “It’s not reasonable that both parties would intentionally adopt a provision in their lease that directly and immediately violates the grant contract that is the source of $1.5 million of improvements to the farm, benefiting both parties, where the direct result of that violation is the loss of those benefits,” Stansbury said in the letter. Port commissioner Laura Blankenship, who was the manager of the Greenbank Farm at the time of the contract, agreed. Everybody involved in negotiating the contract was working in good faith. “I don’t think anyone at the time thought there was a discrepancy,” Blankenship
said Thursday afternoon. The discrepancy in the two contracts was discovered by the Executive Planning Group, which is an eightmember volunteer group appointed by the Port of Coupeville, that spent the past six months researching and writing recommendations about how the farm should operate after the management group’s contract ends. That group recommended that the management group’s contract shouldn’t be extended and the Port of Coupeville should look for requests for proposal for an entity to manage the farm after the current agreement expires. The volunteer group stated in the report that if the management group’s lease were extended, then the recommendations in the report will be less relevant if not outdated. “The transition planning process will be considered by many to have been a waste of time and effort,” the report stated. It looks like, however, that the management group’s current agreement with the port will have to be extended by at least 14 months. In an email to the News-Times, a spokeswoman for the Washington State Department of Commerce, confirmed that the management group must remain in its current position until June 2015. Further, if the group was displaced for any reason, then the department of commerce would consult with the state attorney general’s office to determine whether or not to recapture money under terms of the contract. Patton said the port’s attorney is going to examine the contract as well. He noted that the Greenbank Farm Management Group offered a solution of simply extending the current contract through June of 2015. He said he owes a debt of gratitude to the planning group for discovering the discrepancy and he doesn’t want to see the management group get into any “hot water” with the state. While attorneys review the contracts and discover how best to proceed, work developing a transition plan is on hold for now. He wants the issue resolved soon. If the management group’s contract ends in 2014, then he would like to advertise requests for proposals this summer.

Coupeville port’s last fuel float damaged By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Several weeks after Port of Coupeville officials sent one of its fuel floats away to be repaired, the last remaining one at the wharf was damaged and is threatening to drift away. Port officials discovered a bracket on the remaining, 40-foot concrete float that boaters use to refuel their vessels, had broke away. The other fuel float is off-island being repaired. “We’ve got to find a way to repair that while the other one is in Anacortes,” Jim Patton, executive director for the Port of Coupeville, said. While boating activity at the Coupeville Wharf is
at a minimum during the dreary winter months, the boats operated by Penn Cove Shellfish use the Coupeville Wharf to refuel. In addition, activity at the wharf will pick up in March as recreational boaters return and the Victoria Clipper stops in Coupeville for gray whale tours. During a severe storm that took place in December 2012, the brackets on one of the fuel floats broke. Workers later that month pulled the 13-ton structure out of the water and it was towed to Anacortes for repairs. “The quicker we have one of these replaced, the better off we’ll be,” Commissioner Benye Weber said dur-
ing Wednesday’s Port of Coupeville meeting. Patton said he is contacting the company in charge of the repairs, Pacific Northwest Docks, to see when the work is complete. Then repairs can take place on the current float. Patton hopes the second float could be beached near the port office and the bracket could be replaced. The Port of Coupeville is looking to replace the concrete fuel piers that have posed problems for officials in recent years. Patton said he hopes to have a solicitation ready by the February meeting and would like to see replacement floats in place by the summer boating season.
Port looks at applicants for economic development grants The Port of Coupeville is seeking grant proposals from nonprofit organizations looking for funding for activities that are consistent with the port’s values of economic opportunity and environmental stewardship.
The application process stems from a change in regulations the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville formalized in 2012. Prior to that, each proposal was given consideration on a case-by-case basis.
The Port of Coupeville has $1,500 budgeted for such grants. Last year, the Port of Coupeville awarded the Penn Cove Water Festival $1,000 and the Whidbey Island Farm Tour received $500.

Letters to the editor Feedback
Grateful writer wants to “cool off” Editor, I would like to respond to Rick Kiser’s response to my letter to the editor by first expressing my gratitude for allowing himself to “cool off.” Maybe if some of the perpetrators of recent atrocities had taken the same precaution and weapons designed to facilitate fast, mass killing were not so readily available this letter would not be necessary. Secondly, Mr. Kiser implies that as a “progressive liberal,” I am over-educated and ignorant of the documents on which our government is based. This attitude, though frequently cited by conservatives, is wrong. I am proud of my education which includes more than 40 years of government services most of which was active duty Navy as well as the more conventional learning institutions. I am very familiar with the Constitution and its amendments. It was intended by its authors to allow for change making it flexible and therefore relevant during changing times and technologies. The 18th Amendment, like the second, is an example of a well-meaning effort to modify and improve the Constitution that proved itself, in practice, to be untenable and was thus repealed by the American people with the 21st Amendment. The nation I have served and fought for is controlled by laws masterfully set forth by our founding fathers, not a banana republic controlled by those able to buy or steal the most powerful weapons. As I stated in my previous letter, firearms are an unac-
ceptably dangerous and inefficient means to protect ourselves or our families. If you lack confidence in our military and law enforcement and feel that you need guns to protect yourself and your rights from an overstepping government, then perhaps you’re living in the wrong country.

Election
Onerous levy should be rejected Editor, We’re encouraging voters to oppose the latest, onerous school bond measure. We’re opposed because the measure is but another version of the district’s ambition to have a constant, continuing and cumulative revenue source by which to continue its spending all on the backs of taxpayers and property owners. This latest demand for $7,350,000 which adds 3.8 percent per annum increases the amount to $8,200,000 is another example of a long history of significant, substantial public funding including the 2005 bond measure by which a new football stadium was built and, the 2006 $54 million dollar measure to renovate the high school. This latest demand for more money is a part of the stated intention of the district to spend another $60 million: $27.5 million to replace Oak Harbor elementary and $12 million for a bus barn, followed by another $20 million by 2020 to do “district wide improvements.” This is in addition to amounts received by way of grants including almost $4 million from the Department of Defense to “improve students’ performance.”

The district’s claim their per capita student spending of $500 ignored Federal Impact Funds which the District has been receiving for some 50 years. If the impact funds are considered, then the student per diem is much higher. We’re opposed because the stated use of the funds is frivolous: spending for a bus barn; for middle school athletics; for an “activity bus;” for a “late bus,” for the yearbook; for the school newspaper; and for other nonacademic related expenses. The district bemoaned a lack of textbooks without explaining the obvious: if there is such a lack of text books; perhaps the buses should remain outside; or perhaps middle school athletics could remain discontinued. The district is not doing what businesses and taxpay-
ers have had to do over the past few years, and that is to reduce expenditures. The current levy provides $3.3 million or 6 percent of the annual budget. The district is telling the community that it cannot operate on 94 percent of budget. This same district wants to spend another $60 million over the next few years despite a decline in enrollment and its specious concern that Federal Impact funding will stop. In doing so, the district shifts the burden of future funding on to homeowners and taxpayers; if the federal impact funds remain as it has, the district will certainly keep both the levy funds in place as well for their bus barn, etc. The district understates the impact this has on us. The district stated that a doubling of the money

necessary for the student per diem is not important because it was such a modest number in the first place. The district highlighted the amount to be paid based upon the current levy, 91 cents per $1,000, and failed to disclose the financial burden of the other bond measure which remains in place. This brings the current levy amount to $265 per $1,000 of assessed value; a $300,000 homeowner will be taxed the sum of $795. A 3.8 percent annual increase imposes an additional burden on the homeowner. We, therefore, oppose the current levy as being an unnecessary additional tax burden that is incompatible with a proper focus on academic performance. Please vote no. Warren and Irene Eraut Oak Harbor
Schools need levy support Editor, Oak Harbor schools have been underfunded for decades. The upcoming school levy would bring back some of the learning opportunities that have been cut in the last four years, and would protect others from future cuts. There are no extras. A “Yes” vote would bring our school funding almost to the state average for the first time in memory. A “Yes” vote would provide almost the same level of financial support to our students as that of our neighboring school districts. Beth Kelley Oak Harbor

CAPTURE CONTINUED FROM A1
photos were passed around to all the patrol officers, but nobody recognized them. Then Hofkamp stopped at the 7-Eleven store at the south end of town on Dec. 12, which is part of his earlymorning routine on the way to work. He saw two men walk-
www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com
ing into the parking lot and immediately recognized them as his suspects. He called a patrol officer to contact and, ultimately, arrest the two men, identified as 23-year-old Jason T. Campbell and 29-year-old Lawrence Latta, according to Hofkamp. Hofkamp said police searched the men and found three allegedly stolen credit cards on Campbell and another one on Latta; the
cards all belonged to women whose cars were prowled. Hofkamp said it appeared that the men had just committed a series of vehicle prowls when they were arrested. In an interview with the detective, Latta blamed Campbell for stealing items from vehicles, according to the report written by Hofkamp. Campbell admitted to “doing vehicle prowls,” but
Page A7
said Latta was always with him when he committed the crimes, according to the report. Hofkamp obtained a search warrant for the men’s apartment and found numerous stolen items, including iPods, GPS units, victims’ IDs and 51 Red Box DVDs. Hofkamp arrested Campbell on suspicion of 59 criminal counts, including identity theft, vehicle prowl and possession of stolen
property. Latta was arrested on suspicion of 25 counts. Prosecutors charged both Campbell and Latta in Island County Superior Court with three counts of identify theft, thee counts of second-degree theft and three counts of possession of stolen property in the second degree. If convicted of the charges against them, both men could face more than four years in prison under the standard sentencing range.
Hofkamp said it’s possible that more charges will be added against the men in the future as he completes his reports. In addition, Hofkamp said he hasn’t been able to identify the owners of some of the stolen loot he recovered. He said people who’ve had possessions stolen from their cars and didn’t report it should contact the Oak Harbor police at 360-2794500.

OBITUARY
OBITUARY
Max Elbert Cozine
Max E. Cozine, USN (Ret) passed away on Friday, January 4, 2013. On November 6 he fell in his shop doing what he loved. He fractured his skull and just couldn’t recover, although he put up a good fight. He was born on December 27,1918 in Belleville, Kansas to Harold R. Cozine and Edith D. (Lewis) Cozine. He was raised on farms in Kansas and Nebraska. On September 24, 1943 he married the love of his life, Sandy Ailene Sanford (1923-2008) in California. They had four children within a six-year period. They were born in Nebraska (Michael R. Cozine), in Texas (Robert C. Cozine), in Hawaii (Patricia CozineCole) and in New Jersey (Alan B. Cozine). Ahh.... join the Navy and see the world. He enlisted in the Navy in 1939 and was aboard the USS Ramsay at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He served his country in the Pacific in World War II and Korea. Max was one of the last enlisted pilots in the Navy where he was a helicopter test pilot and was rated on every propeller airplane used by the Navy. He even owned two private planes and was planning to finish an ultralight. His last duty station was NAS Whidbey in 1955 where he retired from the Navy on June 23,1958. His second career was as a partner in Haddon Furniture. When he retired again in 1977, he became the “go-to” man for many people around town, helping with small “Honey-Do” jobs. He was a very proficient carpenter, handyman, craftsman, landscaper, with the help of his John Deere tractor (his third arm), and general jack-of-all-trades. He was always willing and able to build anything made of wood, from picture frames to furniture for family and friends. The Cozine family home was built by Max, Sandy and the kids in 1961 where every summer the traditional annual BBQ for family and friends has been held with Max hosting the festivities. Max is survived by his

Max loved to fish, bowl, golf and build things. He was a life member of the VFW, a past President ofthe Fleet Reserve, and he and Sandy were the original two employees of Whidbey Federal Credit Union. He always made time for his family and friends and helped with any projects presented to him. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Many will miss his smile and hugs.

Milton Henry Littke, age 93, former World War II POW and longtime Oak Harbor resident, passed away Monday, Jan. 7, 2013 at Homeplace Special Care Center in Oak Harbor. Milton was born in Merrill, Wis., on Jan. 4, 1920, to Frank and Emma (Frantz) Littke. As a small child, he moved with his family to Northwestern Oregon, near Astoria. He graduated from Clatskanie High School. Milton met Maryellen Anderson in 1939. Following their engagement, Milton enlisted in the US Navy and was shipped off to the Philippines. Japanese forces attacked the Philippines, and Milton was the sole survivor of his detachment. After wandering in the jungles for several months, he was captured and taken prisoner on the Bataan Peninsula. He was held in Pasay Elementary School, Bilibid Prison, Port Area Manila Prison and finally transferred to the Lead Mine Kamioka, Japan. As a prisoner, Milton worked as a longshoreman. He was released in the summer of 1944, and arrived unannounced a short time later at his family home near Astoria. Milton and Maryellen were married on October 12, 1945. The couple lived in Tillamook, Ore., Guam and Deer Island, Ore., before moving to Oak Harbor in the early 1950s. He continued with the Navy as an ADRC, retiring at NAS Whidbey in 1958. Milton attended Skagit Valley College and Western Washington University, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Arts. He was employed as a pipefitter/insulator at Shell Oil and Texaco refineries in Anacortes and Cherry Point. He was a member of the American Ex-POW Association; was a member of the Scottish Rite bodies of Freemasonry; was a Worthy Patron of the Order of Amaranth Tula Court #26, Coupeville; a member of the Atomic and Oil Workers

with Navy security requirements,” said Larsen, in an emailed statement Tuesday. After hearing complaints about aircraft noise, particularly at Outlying Field, Larsen said he directed his staff to work with base and community leaders to find ways to improve the situation. “NAS Whidbey Island has long enjoyed strong community support, and I am pleased that base leaders are committed to being good neighbors,” he said. Larsen added that the community and base now have an action plan to improve communication. Conard confirmed that additional meetings are in the works and future discussions will address a range of issues, from possible building code changes that would make

anchored and sank just outside the perimeter of the business’s mussel rafts. Farm owner Ian Jefferds said the financial damages to his company won’t be clear until later this year where they begin harvesting the crop planted last year. The sinking caused a delay and, at worst, he said the farm could see the loss of up to four months of business. “It’s a substantial loss,” he said. Jefferds has been aware since last summer that an investigation into the fire’s cause was underway and that there were strong indications of arson – at least one federal agency opened a criminal investigation. He had been hopeful that they would lead to the identi-
homes more sound proof to clarifying the agreement homeowners sign when buying homes on Central Whidbey. Ken Pickard, founder of the community group Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment, also applauded the Navy’s republication of a flight schedule but expressed doubt about its effectiveness. He called it an “improvement” that might help some people, but for most, he said it will not suffice. “To me, telling us when we’ll be tortured doesn’t help,” Pickard said. In December, Pickard initiated an online petition to stop flight operations at the airfield and over Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. It has garnered more than 1,150 signatures. According to Pickard, the recently created group has hired an attorney, and is investigating legal options. fication of a culprit. “If they don’t have any suspects, it’s kind of disappointing,” he said. Although DNR will not spend more resources trying to find out who started the fire, both it and the state Department of Ecology are undergoing separate efforts to recover expenses from the vessel’s owner, Rory Westmoreland. Weyman Droscher said the agency is also working with authorities in Island County on possible misdemeanor charges against Westmoreland for leaving the vessel moored in one spot longer than is allowed under state law. Also, DNR is looking at legislation that would strengthen its derelict vessel program in the hopes that it would prevent or limit such environmentally and financially expensive incidents in the future.

Wildcat wrestlers rally to defeat M-P By JIM WALLER Sports ediitor
Down by 10 points half way through its match with Marysville-Pilchuck, the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team won five consecutive bouts to claim a 39-34 win over the visiting Tomahawks Thursday. The victory was a positive beginning to a challenging weekend for the Wildcats. Last night Oak Harbor joined Lynnwood and Hazen for a double dual meet at Highline High School, and today Oak Harbor goes to Mercer Island for the Tournament of Excellence. Oak Harbor coach Mike Crebbin said the key individual match in the win over Marysville-Pilchuck was the first at 195 pounds. Wildcat junior Jacob Dugin fought back from being nearly pinned while on his back for a minute in the first round to record a fall at 3:25. “That was the determina-

Crebbin said, was 113 pounds where Rebecca Holloman lost 15-1. Crebbin said he
knew going in that Holloman was the underdog and she “fought hard” to limit the
damage and avoid giving up more bonus points. After Dugin’s win, Terry Joll (220 pounds) lost 11-9 and Tyler Adamson (285) lost by a fall (:36). Christian Bertram (106) won by a fall (3:50) and Oak Harbor led 12-9. Three Wildcat losses followed, Holloman, Zaiha Sams (120, fall, :46) and Jeremy Vester (126, 6-2), and Oak Harbor trailed 22-12. Jahleel Vester (132) started the comeback with a pin (1:08). Jacob Fitzgerald (138) then won by technical fall, and Oak Harbor took over 23-22. Cody Fakkema (145) won 10-1, and Mark Johnston (152, 3:40) and Joshua Crebbin (160, :58) tacked on falls, and Oak Harbor built an insurmountable 39-22 lead. C.J. Shavers (170, 1:47) and Jon Laningham (182, 2:33) were pinned to set the final score.
Shorewood buzzer beater nips OHHS boys in overtime By JIM WALLER Sports editor
After coughing up a 16-point lead, the Shorewood boys basketball team had to come back at the end of regulation and overtime to avoid an upset in Oak Harbor, beating the Wildcats 69-68 Tuesday. The Thunderbirds’ Josh Hawkinson scored 35 points, and the final two were the biggest. The 6-9 Washington State University recruit swished a jumper from the foul line as time expired in overtime
to win it. Wildcat coach Mike Washington said, “We came back and competed toe-to-toe with a tough team. This is a tough one to swallow; we had it.” Shorewood (5-1, 10-3) led 11-10 after the first quarter, then outscored Oak Harbor 22-12 in the second to lead 33-22 after two. The Thunderbirds began the second half on a 7-2 run to establish their largest lead, 40-24. Behind eight points from Chris Hailer and two threes by Drew Washington,
prep roundup Lapse proves costly for Wolves One lull in an otherwise solid performance cost the Coupeville girls basketball team as it lost 41-33 in a bid to upset King’s in Shoreline Tuesday. The Knights (5-2, 8-5) went on a 17-2 run that began just before the end of the first quarter, and that one spurt was enough to hold off the inspired Wolves. Coupeville coach David King said, “The girls came ready to play. We came into
this game with confidence and knowing we could compete with King’s if we could handle the press.” Coupeville did just that, shredding the press and building a 12-10 lead. Bessie Walstad had five points and Makana Stone three to pace the solid start. At that point, King’s went on its decisive run. Coupeville continued to break the Knights’ press but was hurt by turnovers in its half-court offense. When they did execute, King said, the shots wouldn’t fall. King’s led 27-14 at halftime.
one from 30 feet as the quarter ended, Oak Harbor was within two, 45-43, heading into the final period. Oak Harbor led 61-57 when Dayne Herron scored with 38 seconds left. Hawkinson dropped in two free throws with 26 seconds remaining. After Oak Harbor missed a free throw with 16 seconds left, Shorewood’s Ben Andrews drove to the hoop for the tying lay-up with four seconds remaining. In overtime, Herron put Oak
King said, “We went into halftime knowing if we handled our emotions after breaking the press and got some shots to fall we would cut into the 13-point deficit.” Coupeville trimmed four points off the gap, trailing 35-26 heading into the fourth quarter. Bree Messner scored five points in the final period, but the Wolves couldn’t get closer than eight. The game came down to turnovers during King’s run and missed free throws. Coupeville hit only 10 of 26 fouls shots, including only six of 17 in the first half. King said, “Defensively, this was our best game for a full 32 minutes.”
Harbor up 67-65 with 51 seconds left. Twenty seconds later, Hawkinson scored. Oak Harbor’s JoJo Webster was fouled on a drive and awarded two free throws with 9.5 seconds left. He hit the first but missed the second. Shorewood rebounded and found Hawkinson for the winner. Free-throw shooting proved to be the difference. Oak Harbor made only seven of 13, 54 percent. The T-birds hit 13 of 17, 76.5 percent. Hailer finished with 18 points
He added, “The second half was hard fought and we played with passion throughout the whole game. If we play like this every game we will give ourselves a chance against anyone in the league.” Walstad, Stone and Messner each scored nine points, Lauren Escalle three, Jai’Lysa Hoskins two and Amanda Fabrizi one. Stone added 11 rebounds and Walstad 10. The Wolves (3-4, 5-7) go to to Mount Vernon Christian (9-4) at 4 p.m. today.
CHS boys offense disappears in loss Scoring no more than five points in any one quarter,
and 11 rebounds, and Herron had 18 points and three steals. Washington collected 14 points, including four threes, six rebounds and three steals. Gabe Groenig had eight points and eight boards, and Webster ended up with seven points and five assists. Dyllan Harris hit a three-pointer. Andrews finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for Shorewood. Oak Harbor goes to eighthranked Glacier Peak (4-2, 10-3) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.
the Coupeville boys basketball team lost at first-place King’s 54-16 Tuesday. The tradition-rich Knights are having another strong season, winning all seven league games and 10-3 overall, but aren’t as talented as some past seasons, according to Coupeville coach Anthony Smith. Smith said, “For some reason, we were just in awe. I don’t know why; they have the same-aged kids as we have.” The deer-in-headlight Wolves were mistakeprone, Smith said. “You are not going to win many games with 34 turnovers.” He added, “If we can cut our turnovers to under 20, we will give a team a run.”
The game was a step back for Coupeville. The Wolves were coming off their three best offensive outputs of the season, but against the King’s the mistakes limited their shooting opportunities. King’s led at the quarrters 9-2, 28-7 and 40-11. Aaron Trumbull and Ben Etzell scored five points each for Coupeville. Drew Chan, Carson Risner and Nick Streubel had two apiece. Caleb Valko snared seven rebounds and Etzell had three steals. Coupeville (0-7, 0-12) plays its final nonleague game at 5:30 p.m. today at See preps, A20

Workshop updates whale lovers, scientists on habitat, threats, health on Jan. 26 By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
T
ake a peek into the mysterious world of whales with a workshop that explores a variety of topics from whale habitat to health and beyond. The annual Ways of Whales Workshop is set for 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at Coupeville Middle School, located at 501 S. Main St., Coupeville. Space is limited so register early at orcanetwork.org. This annual workshop explores the wonders of Pacific Northwest whales, the threats to their habitat, prey and health and the research being conducted to learn more about the diverse species of whales in this region and to protect them for future generations, said Howard Garrett of Orca Network, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of orcas in the Pacific Northwest. The workshop
will focus on orca whales but will also explore humpback and gray whales of the Salish Sea. At the workshop, Garrett will present a paper by Emma Foster of the U.K. titled “Adaptive Prolonged Post-reproductive Life Span in Killer Whales.” “It’s a real breakthrough in the scientific documentation of menopause in female orcas and their lifelong bonding with their sons,” Garrett said. Dr. Peter Ross, a research scientist in Canada, will present research about toxins and other threats to South Resident orcas. “He’s the world’s expert on toxins found in orcas,” Garrett said. Flame retardants, PCBs and other toxins are found everywhere in the ecosystem but they accumulate in orcas. Ross will explain the consequences of this, Garrett said. Filmmaker John Gussman will present about the Elwha River dam removal and restoration. “He’ll bring us up to date and

“It reinforces positive, caring attitudes about them (whales),” Garrett said of the workshop. “It unifies that dedication to helping them.” Garrett has been involved with orcas since 1981 at the Center for Whale Research on San Juan Island. He also studied humpback and fin whales in New England for 10 years. The social systems of whales have never failed to intrigue Garrett. “Their cultural development is unlike any other wildlife and I just find them fascinating,” Garrett said. He advised workshop participants to register right away and to pay in advance at orcanetwork.org. The cost to attend is $30, or $25 for students and seniors. A hot lunch is available for purchase for an additional $10 for those who register by Jan. 20. For more information, contact Orca Network at info@orca network.org or 360-678-3451. The workshop is sponsored by Homeplace of Oak Harbor - Special Care Center and Captain Whidbey Inn on Penn Cove in Coupeville.
Let the calendar, God work an epiphany into daily life At the beginning of each new year I go calendar shopping. It’s one of my favorite things to do. I especially enjoy the seasonal kiosks in the mall; the ones that feature wall calendars with great photography. While I thoroughly enjoy the shopping, I invariably head to a business supply store where I choose a planner I can easily stick in my purse. This year I stepped away from tradition and went calendar app shopping on my Kindle Fire. Much to my delight I have found one that takes the information I input and presents it in convenient
FAITHFUL LIVING By Joan Bay Klope
formats at the touch of a tab. I can see my schedule in a monthly, weekly, daily, or agenda format if I so desire. Gone are the paper calendars with erasure marks and WiteOut. This year I open my Kindle, touch the application, and I’m instantaneously gifted with clean, color coded schedules.
For someone who values organization, it’s a wonder. And it fits in my purse. While setting up the 2013 schedules in my new technology-based planner, I have incorporated my church calendar as well. Each of these seasons have history, tradition, music, prayers, and purpose that are meaningful to me. They steer me through the life of Jesus on a yearly basis and bring the experiences and themes of His life into mine. Jan. 6 is noted on my calendar as Epiphany Day. It reminds me that the 12 days of Christmas have concluded
and now is the season to allow the joy of Christ’s birth to undergird all that I do. Epiphany comes from an ancient Greek word meaning, “a showing forth,” and marks the day the Wise Men from the East met the baby Jesus. In this story Jesus is shown to gentiles; He is meant for everyone. I like being reminded that we are called to share our enthusiasm for Christ to everyone. Rarely, these days, do you hear someone claim they’ve “Had an epiphany!” but I imagine you’ve experienced “Ah-ha!” or “light bulb” moments numerous times
throughout your life. These flashes of insight may not be easy insights, but they serve to bring pieces of information together in ways that make sense. They usually work to shine a light on a personal matter that needs attention. Because I believe that my faith invites God into my daily life and into my very being, I also believe epiphany moments often mark those times when God’s Spirit is working, providing me with the knowledge I need to move forward. What is particularly interesting with this notion is my inability to manipulate or coerce this
kind of insight. God works independently of my will; He also works continually. I must be careful I don’t allow myself to be too distracted to notice. Between now and Feb. 10, the Season of Epiphany will progress. Join me, won’t you, and think about what you’d like to experience and maybe even accomplish during this time. Do you know someone who could use the good news of God’s love? Are you facing tough situations or issues and could use an epiphany or two? Let’s ask. And watch. And learn.

Boys and Girls Club gives back $2,500 grant will help the club continue their project The Oak Harbor Boys and Girls Club was recently recognized by the Boys and Girls Club of America for their charitable contributions to the city and people of Oak Harbor. As part of a nation-wide community services project contest the Oak Harbor Boys and Girls Club Giving Garden was selected as the most outstanding example of community service and giving from among 10 finalist entries. For all of their hard work, long hours and dedication to the community the Boys and Girls Club of America honored the kids with the “Kids Give Back” contest prize of a $2,500 grant to continue their project and good work. Look forward to more and better great ideas from local kids to help out their community. The Giving Garden project was conceived by Program Director Norrie
Perreault and funded through a $500 grant from the Boys and Girls Club of America. All of the Boys and Girls Club staff and members participated in making it a success. The project consisted of creating a large garden on the property of the Roller Barn, which is the site of the club, and donating all of the fruits and vegetables that were grown to the community food bank. The kids and staff first had to clear the land that was selected for the garden plot and then haul in enough clean sand and top soil to make the plot a healthy garden area. They then selected the types and quantities of plants that they wanted to grow and planted them in individual plots. Then came the feeding and watering that ensured that the whole project would be a huge success. Staff and members had to carry water to the garden site for several weeks until a water line could be run, cut the grass for mulch that became a much needed nutrient for the soil and continuously weed and rake the garden plots
to ensure a healthy crop. During all of this activity they even found the time to build a small green house on the site for the more fragile plants to prosper and grow. When it came time to harvest, all of the club members and staff were excited to see the “fruits” of their labors. Strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, radishes and vegetables of all kinds were eagerly harvested and donated to the local food banks for distribution to those in need in the community. The kids and staff had a great time learning about the growing process and what it takes to make a successful garden work. They learned the importance of proper preparation of the ground, water and mulch and how to tend the garden to make it prosper. If you would like to learn more about this project or would like to become involved in the Boys and Girls Club of Oak Harbor to help local kids become great citizens and role models for the community, contact the club at 360-2409273 or bgcoh@comcast.net.
