Former lovers reunite at murder hearing

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

During a hearing Friday, two suspected murderers and former lovers came face to face in court for the first time since their arrests.

Peggy Sue Thomas, a former beauty queen, is facing a murder charge, and now a count of conspiracy to commit murder, for her alleged role in the 2003 shooting death of 32-year-old Russel

Douglas on South Whidbey.

James Huden, her alleged accomplice and former boyfriend, was convicted of first-degree murder in a high-profile trial last summer and sentenced to 80 years in prison. He was summoned from prison by Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks to appear at a hearing to determine whether he’ll testify against Thomas at trial.

The Friday afternoon

hearing, however, didn’t go the way the prosecutor was expecting.

The case has received widespread media coverage.

Nightline, the ABC television news program, is following the case and had a TV camera at the hearing.

True-crime author Anne Rule is planning on writing a book about the murder.

Throughout the case, Huden has refused to tes-

tify against his former girlfriend. He ignored an offer from the prosecution which would have lessened his sentence in exchange for his testimony against Thomas.

He remained silent at the sentencing hearing as the victim’s family members begged him to explain what happened and who else was involved.

Nevertheless, Huden’s See TRIAL, A15

Ballots for two school district levy election were mailed to military voters last week and voters on North and South Whidbey Island should receive their ballots next week.

Both the Oak Harbor and South Whidbey school districts are running tax levy proposals for voters to consider on Feb. 12.

The Oak Harbor School District is asking voters to approve a levy that will raise $7.35 million a year for the next four years. The levy will cost a homeowner $1.98 per $1,000 assessed property value. If approved, the owner of a $250,000 home will pay $495 a year.

The Island County Auditor’s office mailed out approximately 2,000 ballots last week to military voters. The remaining 30,000 ballots will be mailed to voters next week.

Ballots have to be postmarked by Feb. 12 in order to be counted.

Volunteers for the Oak Harbor School District are busy getting the word out about the levy. The group, known as Citizens for Better Schools, is busy visiting homeowners and waving signs at large businesses throughout Oak Harbor.

County accepts Mutiny Bay beach donation Commissioners vote 2-1 to accept property

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Island County will accept the donation of 300 feet of waterfront property on South Whidbey.

The Island County commissioners informally agreed in a split decision to authorize Public Works officials to move forward with the final legal details to secure the property.

“This is an incredible offer to the citizens of Island County and I’m very appreciative,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said.

“It’s a beloved beach on South Whidbey,” she said.

The decision was not unanimous, however, as CommissionerKellyEmerson repeated past concerns about taking on additional park land when the county is struggling financially to maintain what it has.

Emerson also noted that the donation is for a valuable piece of beachfront property and accepting the donation would mean forfeiting property taxes sorely needed for county coffers.

The property in question is owned by Frank Robinson, a South Whidbey native who went on to found the Robinson

Helicopter Company in Los Angeles. He has allowed the public to use the property, located adjacent to the Mutiny Bay boat launch, for years.

His health has begun to decline and family members recently made it clear his hope was to see it transferred into public ownership. The only conditions are that it remain park land, it be named after the Robinson family and that the boat launch continue to be maintained.

Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works, estimated the value of the undeveloped property at $600,000 with annual taxes in the range of $6,000 to $7,000.

While that would increase if the property were developed, providing additional income for the the county, Oakes said this was a rare opportunity to acquire nobank, beachfront property adjacent to a boat launch and public parking lot.

“It’s a tremendous asset to this access location,” Oakes said. ++ He also noted that the Robinson family could have developed the property long ago but chose not to.

“The Robinsons have not wanted that,” Oakes said. “In fact, they are looking at this as a legacy for Frank.”

Oakes added that there are no known maintenance costs associated with the

Commissioner Jill Johnson, who was attending her first work session since taking office, said she understood Emerson’s concerns and that the county should be “picky”

when it comes to accepting new property.

This is an exceptional case, however, and Johnson said a “compelling case” was made that demonstrates the value the public stands to receive in accepting the donation.

“I’m comfortable with moving it forward,” Johnson said. A Republican, she ousted Democrat Angie Homola in the November election

A draft donation agreement has been sent to the Robinson family, Oakes said.

Whether any edits are made or not, the board planned to take formal action after the family responds.

His wife was sitting in the car, enjoying the warming rays of the sun.

Dunn is building a house on the hill on a lot they purchased 20 years ago. As their dream house is built, his dream beach will be open to the public. All the neighbors are pleased, he said.

“We would come here to volunteer,” he said, alluding to concerns about keeping the public beach clean. “Now we won’t feel like we’re trespassing.”

Collins has several years of experience in the restaurant industry and says he’s got a “knack” for it. Although not a veteran himself, he was very interested in working with the VFW. “Because of what it stands for and what they do,” he said.

And the VFW is not just for members. Invited guests are always welcome and the post holds several functions throughout the year for members of the public. Most recently, the post was full of senior citizens, who came to the post’s annual Senior Christmas Party, which included a buffet lunch of ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, salad and dessert, plus a visit from Santa, who passed out hugs, kisses and gifts, with the help of his trusty elf Sugar Plum.

Post members recently remodeled part of the facility, which is available for group parties, dinners and meetings. Full service catering is also available. The Post hosted its first squadron holiday party in December, which earned rave reviews, Collins said.

OLF a big part of safe flying

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

The safety risk to carrierbased aircraft squadrons would increase significantly if Navy pilots weren’t able to practice at Coupeville’s Outlying Field.

That’s according to Executive Officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 135, Cmdr. Adam Carlstrom, who addressed members of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Carlstrom was asked to comment on the importance of Outlying Field, a subject of much recent debate. Some residents frustrated with noise from touch-and-go landings at the field started an online petition and are investigating legal options to stop flights at the airstrip.

According to Carlstrom, the airstrip provides pilots with a huge training advantage.

“For carrier-based squadrons, Outlying Field provides the only opportunity to practice where we’re not in everybody else’s way,” he said.

“Maintaining proficiency behind the boat is of utmost importance. Coupeville provides us that ability. Without (it) our proficiency would significantly diminish.”

The Black Ravens of VAQ135 are very familiar with the practice field, as the squadron used to be a carrier-based unit. The squadron became an expeditionary unit following its transition one-anda-half years ago from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler aircraft. The squadron returned in October following its first land-based deployment to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.

“We deployed in April not

“We all lived out of wood shanties or broken down tents for about a month.”

Carlstrom said the Growler platform was new to the personnel at Bagram and one of the hurdles the squadron had to overcome was getting personnel there acquainted to the new platform.

“We were unappreciated,” he said. “But once we’d been there about a month and everybody was over that, it was great.”

The Black Ravens set several milestones during their recent deployment, which was their first expeditionary Growler deployment to Afghanistan and the squadron’s first deployment in the Growler. Also, the squadron saw its first all-female EA-18G combat flight, launched by an all-female ground crew.

As for the rest of VAQ-135’s mission, all but one flight was

Port seeks grant applicants 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.

The grants will be awarded on a competitive basis. Information about the grants can be obtained at the port office located at 24 Front Street in Coupeville, by calling 360-6785020 or by email at executivedirector@portofcoupeville. org.

Applications must be submitted by Feb. 28 and the Commissioners for the Port of Coupeville will make a decision during its public meeting scheduled March 13.

completed.

“We missed one flight while we were there and it was mine,” Carlstrom said.

“That was because we hit a bird. Other than a bird strike, we had no mechanical issues throughout the deployment.”

All told, the Black Ravens completed more than 400

sorties, ranging in length from two hours to more than eight and supported an average of 18 missions a day.

“We would eat, sleep, fly, work out a little bit, eat, sleep, fly, work out a little, and so on,” said Carlstrom. “It was a dream deployment for a Naval aviator.”

A “Rare Bird” Passed peacefully on January 5, 2013. Much loved by her family and friends and highly regarded by all who knew her. Born in Duluth, MN on August 25th, 1921 to Helga Ann Larson Kuchenbecker and George William Kuchenbecker. Ardell is survived by her “little” brother George and beloved sister-inlaw Gloria, whom she called “Sis”; nephews David and Mark Kuchenbecker; David’s wife Patti, sons Mathew and Austin and their wives, and Mathew’s children, James and Axel; and Mark’s daughters Rebekah (Becky) Ardell and Jodi Noel.

Ardell received a Masters Degree in Nursing Education in 1951 from the University of Minnesota. During 1952-1954, while in the Army Reserve, she did post graduate work and taught in the University of Washington School of Nursing.

In 1945 Ardell joined the U.S. Army and served as a nurse in the Philippines and continental US, achieving the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.

In 1951, she entered the Reserve Service, Army Nurse Corps - UAS, and achieved the rank of Captain. In 1954 she was medically discharged due to multiple-sclerosis. Of great pride to Ardell, she, her mother, and brother George all served in the military at the same time.

After the military, Ardell supervised nursing at Group Health in Seattle, and then spent 10 years with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. She was named “Nurse of the Year” by the King County Nurses Association and awarded a “scroll of honor” by the King County and Washington State Nurses Associations.

In 1970, Ardell retired from nursing and moved to Coupeville, Washington, where she and her good friend, Christine Hoogerwerf, established an antique business called “This ʻn That.” She couldn’t be prouder of this phase of her life.

In 1975, after Chris died, Ardell sold the shop, moved back to Seattle, and began

An avid philanthropist, Ardell donated valuable sea shore and wetland property to the Nature Conservancy and Seattle Audubon and gave generously to numerous charities. She funded educational pursuits for many deserving people, including a passel of young people she called “my kids.” In honor of her mother (Ardell’s father died when she was five), she was especially helpful to single mothers in need.

Ardell was inducted into a group of Seattle Audubon donors called “Rare Birds.”

She worked with the legendary Hazel Wolf in providing special nature programs for youth and helped fund many other programs. Working with former director of Seattle Audubon, Chris Peterson, she provided seed money and ongoing support for BirdNote, now heard by millions on public radio stations across the country, including KPLU FM.

IN my OPINION

It’s funny how the world works When I went to interview for my first newspaper job I was very late. I’d never been to Yelm and online directions had me circling a road randomly out in the county.

I remember thinking, “Man, what kind of newspaper is this?”

After making a call to the office I was seeking, I was redirected to its location right in the middle of town.

I came in 20 minutes late with my tail between my legs, not expecting anything to come of this experience.

Boy, was I wrong.

That interview was with Keven Graves, now incoming publisher for Whidbey Island’s community newspapers.

Keven gave me my first newspaper job. I consider him a mentor.

I worked at the Nisqually Valley News for five years and during that time I learned community journalism.

College teaches you the fundamentals. Keven taught me the heart.

News came much to my surprise last week that he would joining our staff here next month on Whidbey.

I’ve been honored to work with two great publishers so far in my career.

Leaving Yelm was hard for me, but I was eager for new experience and growth.

Working with outgoing publisher Kasia Pierzga has been a great experience. She understands the importance of a newspaper’s role in the community.

It’s been just three short months with Kasia, but she has taught me some valuable lessons and skills.

Kasia is an asset to this community and it will be hard to see her go. Olympia is lucky to have her as she makes her way south for new career opportunities with the state Department of Revenue.

While we are all sad to see her go, I think the community is earning another valuable asset.

I think Keven and Kasia are cut from the same cloth in a lot of ways.

They both share a mutual love and respect for community journalism.

Keven is an island boy. He started his career here and it’s exciting to see him return.

When I left Yelm several months ago I always figured our paths would cross again in the future.

To my surprise it only took a few months. Sometimes it’s funny how the world works.

Letters to the editor Levy

Past, future levies help school district thrive Editor, During the last several years, the citizens of Oak Harbor have made great strides in improving opportunities for kids and bringing pride back to our schools.

Just 15 years ago, our school buildings were in shambles; we had no hot lunch; our elementary school day was shorter; we had just one Advanced Placement class serving only 50 students.

Through your action, you have changed all of that. Today, our students go to schools in classrooms that are warm and comfortable and conducive to learning.

We have some very strong programs — elementary art and P.E., 12 AP courses serving 450 students, an outstanding career and tech pro-

gram, and hot lunch and breakfast in every school – thanks to our local levy.

On Tuesday, Feb. 12, your school board is asking you to support the renewal of our local school levy to keep good things happening in Oak Harbor.

This levy will do several things.

It will restore some of the cuts forced on our schools over the last four years: returning to a full middle school day, improving safety and learning in special education, restoring after-school tutoring, middle school sports, textbooks and classroom computers.

It protects 20 classroom teachers currently funded by the existing levy and returns 14 of 34 teachers lost due to state and federal cutbacks.

It protects all after-school activities, including all team sports, music, Wildcat TV, debate, DECA and the culinary arts team from inevitable cuts due to shrinking federal funding.

The proposed levy is affordable.

Currently, we are in the bottom

10 percent in Washington when it comes to local levy dollars provided per student. Our levy is about onequarter that provided by neighboring communities and other military communities.

Federal Impact Aid dollars have already seen significant reductions and, with severe Congressional cuts looming, it will likely shrink more.

In Oak Harbor, we have enacted more than five years of significant budget cuts and staffing and administrative reductions.

We cannot make further cuts without eliminating student learning opportunities.

We are asking for your help in renewing the proposed levy.

Approving this levy is critical for the continued success of our district.

Our students deserve the opportunity to succeed and to compete in today’s world.

Please vote yes on Feb. 12. Thank you.

Red Cross seeking local heroes Island chapter Red Cross is looking for real heroes.

Feb. 10 is the deadline to nominate someone who saved a life for the annual American Red Cross Real Heroes awards Do you know a hero who has made a difference in our area?

Each year the American Red Cross Islands Chapter honors community members throughout Fidalgo, Whidbey and the San Juan islands who have demonstrated heroism through extraordinary acts of courage.

A hero could be someone who performed life-saving CPR, pulled a person from a burning building, helped at an auto accident, took

action in a time of crisis or has made a long-term contribution to the community.

The annual Real Heroes Breakfast is an opportunity for the community to show appreciation and thank these exceptional individuals.

Nominees for the awards in the following categories must live or work in the chapter’s service area or the heroic event must have taken place in one of those locations in 2012.

If someone deserves recognition, but doesn’t fit one of these, send their information anyway — they may be the first in a new category.

Nominations will be accepted for the following categories:

•Medical Response Hero • Military Support Hero • Always-on-Duty Hero • Good Samaritan Hero • Youth Hero • Exceptional Fire Rescue Hero • Lifetime Achievement Hero Nominations may be submitted using the form attached or found on the chapter’s web site www.redcross.org/islandschapter.

Nomination forms must be received by Feb. 10.

A panel will review the nominations and select a group of Heroes to be honored at the Red Cross Real Heroes Breakfast scheduled Thursday, March 21 at the Swinomish Casino

and Lodge near Anacortes.

The annual Heroes Breakfast began 15 years ago to recognize those whose actions resulted in saving the lives of others.

It closely aligns with the Red Cross mission: saving lives through prevention, preparedness, and response.

The program honors ordinary people who have performed extraordinary heroic actions within the community.

For more information, contact Mary Frances Close, Chapter Executive, at American Red Cross Islands Chapter; P.O. Box 249, Anacortes, WA 98221, 360-293-2911 or email maryfrances.close@redcross.org.

Music and jazz festival gearing up, help wanted Oak Harbor Music and Jazz Festival is gearing up for the 2013 music festival Aug. 30 through Sept. 1.

The festival has restructured under the name of Oak Harbor Music Festival and has a Board of Trustees composed of the key volunteers from the 2012 festival.

Those involved will begin meeting to organize committees, start fundraising and establish contracts with bands.

If you are interested in volunteering with the festival this year, send an email.

It takes a lot of people to put on an event like this.

Also, if you play in a band, have a band you would like us to contact or are an artist and would like to have a booth in the street fair, contact the group soon as spaces will fill quickly.

The new email address is info@oakharborfestival.com.

Letters to the editor Schools need help passing the levy Editor, Please vote yes for schools.

Well over a year ago, the school board began a series of public hearings to help prioritize the critical programs lost due to state and federal budget cuts.

We talked about what needed to be restored as soon as possible, and what might be put off if required.

I remember wondering what it would take to convince me to support a significant increase. Through the series of hearings and public input I was reminded how serious the situation had become. There were very few cuts in the past four years that had not hurt student learning substantially.

Facts that may help in understanding the need: Oak Harbor schools have been underfunded for decades. Each of our students receives $1,000 less education funding support per year than the average Washington state student.

That is $1,000 less per student, every year.

All other funding comparisons are smoke and mirrors. Passing the levy would almost bring us to the same funding support as our neighboring school districts and the state.

A Maintenance and

Operations (M&O) levy does not build or pay for facilities.

Bonds pay for those capital projects. There will always be bonds because each school building requires a major remodel about every 30 years. We try to plan these remodels to keep the bond rates steady and predictable: as one is paid off, another project begins.

The proposed M & O Levy has nothing to do with the stadium.

The costs of building the stadium was fully funded by the original stadium bond, and by law that bond money cannot be used for anything other than what the bond resolution stated when voters approved the bond.

We have eliminated over 30 teaching positions and cut teacher pay by 1.9 percent. Class size is as high as I have ever seen. Our staff is paid a fair average wage, commensurate with the industry.

We were able to replace all district math text books just before the severe funding reductions began. There is no funding to replace any more text books if the levy does not pass.

The Dept. of Defense grants are temporary and are targeted at professional development and peer coaching, targeting reading and math.

The teaching techniques provided by the grant produced outstanding results in student reading scores the last two years. Without the

levy there would be no support for programs that were jump started by the Dept. of Defense.

Impact Aid has been our past funding source for athletics and activities, but has been steadily declining over the last five years. Most school districts fund athletics and activities with levies.

The proposed levy will allow stable support of our athletic and activities while putting some impact aid money back into the classroom.

The state does not fund computers and technology.

The school board listened to well over 40 hours of workshops and public input before settling on an amount for the upcoming levy vote.

We were sensitive to the tax rates that we all would pay.

As a local business person and your elected school board member I will tell you that the current levy proposal is well thought out and is not overreaching.

The need is so important I would be remiss in my duties as a school board member if I did not approve the levy proposal and ask you, the community, for your continued support.

Firearms

Gun control just causes problems

Editor, The real danger to the public and our children are those among us who advocate disarmament.

These individuals have no moral equivocation with their actions for they do so with the approval of their own twisted sense of compassion.

That they have blood dripping from their hands is of no concern to them.

It is more important that they feel good concerning their efforts to protect the children and the public.

That gun free zones are proven killing zones does not enter into their thought process.

Israel in 1974 trained and armed their school teachers after a shooting that left 34 of their children dead.

The result of that decision is there has been no school shootings since 1974.

I don’t understand how such people professing care for children are so comfortable with blood dripping form their hands or they simply can’t see the blood on their hands because they are hysterically blinded by emotion and political beliefs.

Compassion expressed this way kills children and others as well.

How can you be so callus? Have you no shame?

Have you no common sense?

A gun free zone is big flashing invitation to all mentally unstable individuals and you should avoid

them and keep you children out of them at all costs.

I admit that I don’t like to have teachers carrying guns but I would rather have that than more dead children, but then I really do care about their safety.

James Coats Oak Harbor

equally disastrous.

It comes down to this.

When you need a cop in seconds, one may eventually get there.

If you choose to have you and your family killed, that is your choice.

It isn’t mine.

Bill Schoonover Oak Harbor

We must provide our own protection Speak only for yourself, not others Editor, A recent contributor to your paper stated that if a person cannot rely on the police and military for protection, he should move to another country.

As one who spent four decades in the military, many as a military police officer, I have a slightly opposing view.

I invite that individual to contact our police and sheriff’s departments, or any police department in the country, and get a guarantee that it will provide protection.

They can’t.

As for using the military, the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, as amended, does not allow the military, save the U.S. Coast Guard and National Guard under state control, to engage in domestic law enforcement except in dire emergency when a state government cannot function.

In other words, waiting for the Army will prove

Editor, This is in response to Ronald Cope’s letter of Jan. 12.

Your impressive education aside, how dare you speak for me or others by stating that “firearms are an unacceptably dangerous and inefficient means to protect ourselves or our families.”

That statement is preposterous on its face. Rarely does law enforcement stop a crime in progress.

They clean up and write reports after the fact.

I don’t know what you’re sleeping arrangements are, but I do not have a police office in my bedroom at 2 a.m.

I find a large bore handgun with a laser sight extremely efficient at that hour should someone enter my house uninvited.

You protect your family as you see fit and I’ll do the same.

It’s over.

The Coupeville High School boys basketball team defeated host Mount Vernon Christian 51-41 Saturday to erase a 33-game losing steak.

The last game of the streak came a night earlier when the Wolves lost in Duvall to Cedarcrest 71-28.

Coupeville last won in 2011 when it stopped Meridian in the subdistrict.

The win was the first for second-year coach Anthony Smith.

Smith said, “It was a long time coming. I am so happy for the kids; they work so hard.”

Coupeville won the game with an aggressive defense that beat down the Hurricanes (4-11) as the game went on. Coupeville also overcame two long-

Take a bow.

Whether “bow” is pronounced with a long or short “o,” it is fitting for the Oak Harbor High School cheer team as it earned a state-qualifying score in its first competition of the season at Gig Harbor High School Saturday.

“For many female cheerleaders, the hair bow completes the uniform,” coach Robin Gohn said. “For a competition squad, the hair bow can be a representation of pride and accomplishment. This week the Wildcat cheerleaders earned that ‘special’ state bow from their coaches by scoring a 192.5 to qualify for the WIAA State Cheerleading Championship.”

The score was good for second in the division, only 4.5 points out of first.

The Wildcats were forced to rechoreograph their program with the loss of two injured teammates.

The new routine was designed by assistant coach Lauren Albritton to highlight the team’s strengths, Gohn said.

Oak Harbor performed well early, Gohn said, hitting on one of the most difficult stunts within the first 15 seconds.

Oak Harbor goes to Skyline High School Saturday for its next competition. State is Jan. 26 at the University of Washington.

time problems, turnovers and third-quarter collapses.

Entering the game Smith said his team would have a chance if it kept the miscues to under 20. The Wolves did and committed only five after halftime.

Instead of fading in the third quarter, Coupeville outscored Mount Vernon Christian 17-7.

Spurred by five points

by Ben Etzell and four from Aaron Trumbull, Coupeville jumped to a 13-7 first-quarter lead.

Etzell hit the first hoop of the second quarter, then the Hurricanes went on a 13-2 run and finished ahead 25-19 at the break.

Nick Streubel, who sat much of the first half in foul trouble, scored the first two baskets of the third quarter to get the Wolves rolling. By the end of the period, Coupeville led 36-32.

With the game tied at 38, Aaron Curtin and Etzell scored to make it 42-38 with 4:06 left. From that point, the Wolves would not score another field goal but hit nine of 14 free throws to secure the big win.

Wildcat boys use 2nd-half surge to sink Meadowdale Sports editor

After a sloppy first half by his Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team, coach Mike Washington turned up the volume on his half-time talk. Message received.

The Wildcats out scored visiting Meadowdale 22-10 in the third quarter to put away the pesky Mavericks 58-42 Friday.

Both teams played poorly in the first half, combining for 23 turnovers. Meadowdale led 8-7 at the end of the first quarter and Oak Harbor 19-17 at the break.

Washington expected more from this team; Meadowdale (1-6, 3-11) came into the game having lost nine of its previous 10 games. The

Wolves whip ’Canes, wipe away streak

Oak Harbor cheer earns state mark

By JIM WALLER

To reach us: Call us at (360)

Wildcat coach passed along that message at halftime and Oak Harbor responded by going on a 14-2 run to start the second half.

JoJo Webster, Zach Jones, Dayne Herron, Gabe Groenig and Drew Washington all scored during the spurt, and Washington fueled the defensive effort by causing four turnovers and blocking a shot.

Meadowdale recovered to score eight straight, making it 32-27, then Oak Harbor rallied again, leading 41-27 after the period.

At halftime, coach Washington told his team to push the ball on offense, and if the break wasn’t there, get the ball into 6-4, 270-pound post Herron.

Herron scored 12 of his game-high 17 points in the second half. Chris Hailer scored 10 points, Jones nine, Webster eight, Donavan Sellgren four, Groenig four and Dyllan Harris two.

Drew Washington, the team’s leading scorer for the season, finished with only four points but led the team with 11 rebounds, four blocked shots and three steals.

Coach Washington said the bench (Sellgren and Anfrenee Angkaw) gave his club a lift in the second half.

He added, “I’m okay with the win, but I am not happy with it.”

Oak Harbor (4-3, 8-6) goes to to Stanwood (6-1, 9-5), the 3A North leader, at 7:15 p.m.

Friday.

At one point during the hectic finish, the Coupeville defense forced MVC into five consecutive turnovers.

The Wolves also overcame foul trouble. Curtin and Caleb Valko fouled out and Streubel had four.

Etzell finished with 24 points, Trumbull nine, Streubel six, Carson Risner four, Curtin three, Valko three and Morgan Payne two.

Smith said, “I hope this can be the start of something.”

In describing the Cedarcrest game, Smith said, “19-0.”

That’s how things started for the Wolves who trailed 21-2 at the quarter.

The second period wasn’t much better as the Wolves went into the locker room down 34-4.

Smith said his team played better in the second half, and entered the fourth quarter behind 56-17.

Streubel collected eight points, Risner five, Curtin five, Trumbull four, Etzell four and Valko two.

Coupeville (0-8, 1-13) goes to South Whidbey (1-7, 3-11) at 5 p.m. Friday.

’Cat swimmers stop Stanwood

JohnFisken/Whidbey News-Times

Oak Harbor’s Michael Johnson is about to break the surface at the beginning of 100 backstroke. Johnson won the event in 1:09.19.

Continuing its successful run through the Wesco North, the Oak Harbor High School swim team hammered Stanwood 116-53 Monday at John Vanderzicht Pool.

The Wildcats (8-1) have defeated three of its four Western Conference 3A North challengers. They will go to Everett at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow to face to final North foe.

Against Stanwood, Josh Jepsen took the 200-meter individual medley (2:16.3) and 100 breaststroke (1:12.88), and Kevin Levy captured both freestyle sprints (50, 25; 100, 57.31).

They swam with Toren Wood and Caley Powers to take the 200 medley relay (1:56.18), and with Powers and Jerek Bianco to win the 200 free relay (1:46.47).

Powers added a first in the 100 butterfly (1:02.24).

Michael Johnson captured the 100 backstroke (1:09.19) and Joe Gorman took the 400 free (4:55.51).

Joey Jepsen, Ryan Cuajunco, Jake Nelson and Erik Jensen finished the meet by winning the 400 free relay (4:00.28).

prep roundup Cold ‘Cat girls fall to Meadowdale A disastrous first half did in the Oak Harbor girls basketball team in its 56-24 loss at Meadowdale Friday.

The Wildcats scored only four points in the first quarter to fall behind 14-4; then missed all 10 field goal attempts in the second period, scored just one point and trailed 30-5 at half time.

At one point, Oak Harbor missed 18 consecutive shots.

Poor shooting wasn’t the only problem in the first half as the Wildcats committed 13 turnovers.

For the game, the Wildcats shot only 18 percent (9-for-51), while the Mavericks (5-2, 10-4) shot 36 percent (21-for-58).

Oak Harbor’s Annie Leete scored 11 points, Ciera Wiser four, Natalie Fiallos four, Jalani Bobo three and Kelsey Rankin one.

Coach Trisha Wieber said, “Meadowdale is a good team and we struggled to handle their pressure. The second half was much improved so we actually competed.”

At Highline, Oak Harbor defeated Hazen 58-10 and the host school 41-22.

Jeremy Vester (126 pounds: 10-6; fall, 2:32), Jahleel Vester (132: 17-2; fall, 3:07), Cody Fakkema (145: fall, 4:09; 12-2) and Joshua Crebbin (160: fall, 3:56; fall, 2:32) each won twice for Oak Harbor.

At Mercer Island, Jeremy Vester, Fakkema, Fitzgerald and Crebbin all finished third, and Jahleel Vester was fifth.

Coach Crebbin said, “We got to see the level of competition that we will experience at the state meet.”

It was a lost weekend for the Coupeville girls basketball team.

The Wolves fell 68-23 at home to Cedarcrest Friday, then lost 52-39 at Mount Vernon Christian Saturday.

Coupeville played both games without starting forward Makana Stone, who was ill.

The time is the eighth-best on the alltime USMMA list, and it was Tack’s first race at that distance.

LeVine scored for the Islanders.

The match with Newport was the first of three in the Islanders’ bracket in the State Cup. Coach Sean LeVine said, “These girls were bigger and older than almost all of our players and I expected this would be a challenge.”

The Islanders earned several good scoring chances in the final 10 minutes but couldn’t find the net.

The Islanders play at 11 a.m. Saturday at Fort Nugent Park in another State Cup match, and then got to Seattle’s Genesee Stadium at 2:30 p.m Sunday for a league game.

Shanty Fest celebrates maritime music to the tune of helping families in need

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Even during cold January, there’s a chance for a fun time for a good cause. Shanty Fest will take attendees on a maritime adventure Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Greenbank Farm.

Free workshops by each musical group will run from 1 to 5 p.m. Jan. 26, then the Shanty Fest concert begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20 for adults; children get in free.

“It’s our one time during the year that we can do something really neat for the community,” said Vern Olsen, Shanty Fest coordinator. “It’s not really a shanty fest anymore; it’s songs of the sea, anything to do with water.”

“There aren’t many shanty festivals in the Northwest,” Olsen said.

“As far as some place that should have a shanty fest sailing event, it’s Whidbey Island. Settled by sea captains, a lot of fishing history here, old families from England.”

This year, all proceeds of Shanty Fest benefit South Whidbey and Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers and the Habitat for Humanity Home Preservation Program.

The Home Preservation Program funds repairs of homes.

Home Depot supplies the funding but it must go to military-connected families, Olsen said.

“So the other families in need aren’t receiving any funds,” Olsen said. Shanty Fest proceeds will help these people in need.

This is the festival’s fourth year.

In the past, they have raised $2,000 to $3,000 each year.

“We’re hoping we do the same this year,” Olsen said.

Bringing their maritime tunes to this year’s Shanty Fest are the Whateverly Brothers, the Shifty Sailors, Hank Cramer and Cannery Underground.

This is Cramer’s first time singing on Whidbey, Olsen said.

From Winthrop, Wash., Cramer will bring his booming bass voice, vintage guitar and wry sense of humor. In the past, he crewed on the Lady Washington.

This is also Cannery

Underground’s first time singing at Shanty Fest. The duo hails from Guemes Island in Anacortes and specializes in Northwest folk music. Group members are Tim Wittman and Dave Perkins.

Returning from last year are the Whateverly Brothers, including Dan Roberts, Chris Glanister and Matthew Moeller.

“People liked them so well (last year) we invited them back,” Olsen said. “The guys like to come here because they are well treated.”

Olsen said he expects the variety of performers to make the concert exciting.

“A whole concert of one group, you can say, ‘Why’d I come to this?’

At this, you can say that but you get a new group in half an hour,” Olsen said.

“And the Greenbank Farm is a perfect place for us,” Olsen said, adding that inside the barn, the audience has the feeling of being inside the hull of a ship.

Performing at Shanty Fest this year are the Shifty Sailors, pictured above, Hank Cramer, below right, Cannery Underground, below left, and the Whateverly Brothers, lower right.

Shifty Sailors go on tour The Shifty Sailors, an internationally performing group that has released five CDs, sponsors the event. This year, their Shanty Fest musical repertoire celebrates the whale.

“We decided to honor the whale because this is the year they chose to name the new ferry after Tokitae, as we know her, Lolita,” Olsen, a longtime member of the Shifty Sailors, said.

The Shifty Sailors have toured Europe four times, the seaports of England, Hawaii and more. This year, they’re changing things up.

“So this year, we decided we’re going to stay around here and do seaports of the West Coast,” Olsen said. The group will start the tour in June in Aberdeen and travel to San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Medford, with many stops in between, before ending up on Whidbey for a concert June 30.

Many of their concerts will be fundraisers for such projects as a public access on the water in

Aberdeen and for various maritime museums. They will visit places like St. George Reef Lighthouse in Crescent City, Calif., one of the largest lighthouses. It is situated six miles off shore and hosts helicopter tours during part of the year.

“They’re really eager.

Everyone’s really eager for us to come,” Olsen said. “We said we’ll do the concert and split the pot with you … they’ll never lose anything on a concert.”

Fifty family members and friends will join the tour to cheer on the musical group that has been together for 20 years.

“You never know how long we’re going to continue to go,” Olsen said, adding that the average lifespan of a musical group is 12 years. “So we’re way past the average life of a singing group.”

The Shifty Sailors added a couple of high school students,

bringing the number up to 22 members.

“Maybe that will help us with getting younger members,” Olsen said.

Shifty life in Coupeville “We haven’t performed at some of our Coupeville festivals in a long time, some that we enjoyed a lot,” Olsen said, adding that at the Arts and Crafts Festival, the stage is located near the Post Office, while the shopping booths are set up on Front Street.

“Why would we want to bring 17 or 20 guys out to sing to nobody? … Our thought is and what we presented is, why not let us roam through the booths and sing,” Olsen said. So they did. One year, the Shifty Sailors wandered among

the booths singing for two hours, to positive response from the community. However, the festival committee didn’t agree.

“Our thought is that maybe we’ll get back to that somehow,” Olsen said.

Before the Shifty Sailors head out on tour, don’t miss their St. Patrick’s Day bash. Tickets always sell out quickly, Olsen said, and they’ll be available to purchase at Shanty Fest.

At Shanty Fest, beer, wine and other refreshments will be available. Tickets are available from Wind and Tide Bookstore, Bayleaf, Local Grown, Greenbank Farm’s Wine Shop, Vino Amore and Moonraker Books, or from brownpapertickets.com.

Author uses experience to write medical self-help book

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Despite living in our bodies every day, when abnormal pain or illness strikes, it can be confusing. Does abdominal pain warrant a trip to the emergency room?

What about early contractions while pregnant? And how can one begin to treat cancer?

A trip to the emergency room can be costly, so an emergency medical practitioner of 20 years wrote a book to help anyone become wise about medicine.

Dr. Mark Borden decided to write “Medical Wisdom” 10 years ago and has been working on it for the past six years.

Borden tended to more than 4,000 people in the emergency room last year.

“I realized a lot of people who come in to the ER don’t really need to,” Borden said.

So, for the past 10 years, he recorded what people should know in order to make an informed choice about whether or not to go to the emergency room.

“What they need is what grandma knew 200 years ago,” Borden said. That doesn’t mean he prescribes folk treatments; Borden practices modern medicine.

What his book teaches is knowledge. Knowledge of what medical terms mean, what diseases or infection do to a body and whether what’s happening to the body is abnormal or not.

“Medical Wisdom” explores a number of topics from abdominal pain through X-rays. It’s meant to

be read from start to finish in order to give the reader a good background in medicine and related terms, and to help people know the difference between real medicine and misinformation.

As an example, Borden said that his chapter on cancer will help a person whose family member found out they have the disease.

“I would say 60 percent of people with cancer do much more poorly because they don’t know what cancer is,” Borden said, adding that this leads people to fall for strange “cures” on TV that can hurt more than help.

While a person may not be sick now, “everyone needs the book. They’re going to be sick someday,” Borden said, adding that his book also covers accidents

Rebecca Olson / Whidbey News-Times

Mark Borden holds Solomon, a great horned owl that he’s raising on his farm in Coupeville. The wisdom of owls plays a fun part in his new book, “Medical Wisdom,” available now on Amazon. com. like cuts on the hand, car accidents or seeing someone collapse.

Timeless information Borden wrote the book so that the information will be valid now and in the future.

While the tools of the trade

may change, medical wisdom won’t.

“The book will be just as good 20 years from now as today,” Borden said, adding that he believes the body is resilient and does well without help most of the time.

His book will teach people when it is the time to go to the hospital.

An example of when the

book helped Borden’s family was when his son dislocated his big toe. He saved about $3,000 by relocating it at home instead of paying for expensive tests at the hospital, Borden said.

These kinds of bills can be very stressful on people, especially young people, See Book, A13

Popp to marry native Californian in July The engagement of Oak Harbor native Sean A. Popp and Anne C. Whittington of Murrieta, Calif., was celebrated at the home of the future bride’s uncle and aunt, Dr. Joe and Jo Ann Schneider of Riverside, Calif., in late October. Anne is the daughter of Madeline Whittington of Murrieta and retired Navy Cmdr. Jim Whittington of La Jolla, Calif. Sean is the son of Kathy Popp of Oak Harbor and Anthony Popp of Oak Harbor. Their wedding is in July 2013 at St. Martha’s Catholic Church in Murrieta, with a reception at South Coast Winery.

Book CONTINUED FROM A12

Borden said. While insurance will cover many of the costs, Borden said it’s still important for the patient to care about what’s happening to their bodies, and “Medical Wisdom” can help with that.

“Medical Wisdom” also helps patients have more meaningful conversations with their doctors. For example, Borden said the book will teach the difference between a fractured and a broken bone -- there is no difference. “Medical Wisdom” continues by teaching the different types of fractures and whether they will require surgery or cause pain later in life.

“A patient with medical wisdom will know which questions to ask,” Borden said. “It totally changes the way a doctor will talk to a patient.” The book will help patients judge the quality of the care they are receiving.

“I think people don’t always know what great medical care is … It (“Medical Wisdom”) just empowers you,” said Erin Borden, Mark Borden’s wife.

“Knowledge is power.”

Life on the farm Despite devoting his life to medicine for the past 20

years, Borden finds time to continue his lifelong passions as a falconer and a fisher. He practices medicine at Swedish Medical Center and lives on a farm in Coupeville with his family, which includes hawks and two owls, Solomon and Athena.

He does rehabilitation work with birds of prey.

“And that’s rewarding, getting to release beautiful birds of prey back into the wild,” Borden said.

Solomon and Athena are Borden’s first great horned owls. They will help hunt rabbits that threaten the pesticide- and herbicide-free wheat, barley and horse hay the Bordens raise.

Owls also take the stage in his book. Local artist Mary Ellen O’Connor did owl sketches for each chapter as a symbol of wisdom.

However, Borden said he worries Solomon isn’t as wise as he’s assumed to be.

“Solomon in all his wisdom would get through that glass (window) if he tried hard enough … Maybe he’s not as wise as we think,” Borden laughed.

While many medical tomes are expensive, Borden is selling “Medical Wisdom” on Amazon for $20 even though Amazon recommended that he sell it for $80.

“I don’t want it to be one of those rare and eclectic texts no one can afford to buy,” Borden said.

Trial CONTINUED FROM A1 own words — which he allegedly spoke to a friend and his wife — may be used against Thomas at trial.

Huden’s friend, Bill Hill, and his wife, Jean Huden, both claim that Huden told them about Thomas’ alleged participation in the murder.

Thomas is accused of luring Huden to a rural area of Freeland with the promise of a Christmas gift; instead, Huden shot him in the head.

Under a rule of evidence, Hill and Jean Huden could

Levy CONTINUED FROM A1 “Our grassroots effort has been door-belling, storefronts and we’re starting signwaving,” said Lynn Goebel, one of the chairwomen for Citizens for Better Schools.

Volunteers will be waving signs starting Saturday at the corners of Highway 20 and Whidbey Avenue and Highway 20 and Barrington Drive.

Goebel said the campaign has been going well.

“I’ve never seen such community support,” Goebel said.

School officials said the levy proposal will help restore some of the cuts they have made in recent years due to budget reductions.

testify to third-hand statement, normally inadmissible as hearsay, if Huden is not available to testify for some reason, which could include his assertion of his Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination. The prosecutor expected Huden, whose case is under appeal, to claim those rights at the hearing Friday, clearing the way for Jean Huden and Hill to testify.

But in a twist, Huden met with his attorney and Thomas’ attorney in the jail Friday morning and spoke about the case. Huden allegedly said to Thomas’ attorney, Craig Platt of Coupeville, that he had never told any-

one that Thomas helped him with the murder. He also made claims against Hill’s character.

“His former love interest is on trial and he has every motive to try to work some mischief in the state’s case,” Banks said to the judge.

During the hearing, Huden took the stand as his former girlfriend and alleged partner in crime stared at him from across the room.

He didn’t answer any questions, but repeatedly pleaded the Fifth after his attorney whispered in his ear.

Then Huden’s attorney, Matthew Montoya of Oak Harbor, was called to the stand and cross-examined

about what he heard Huden say to Platt during the morning meeting. Montoya testified that Huden said he never told Hill that Thomas was involved in the murder.

In addition, Huden claimed he never said anything to his wife about Thomas’ involvement in the murder, Montoya said.

Montoya said Huden invoked his Fifth Amendment rights when asked if he killed Douglas.

Banks grilled Montoya about whether Huden ever stated, point-blank, that Thomas was not involved in the murder. Montoya said he couldn’t recall if Huden said that specifically, but that

was the general gist of the meeting.

With the turn of events, it was unclear whether Huden has waived his Fifth Amendment rights by speaking with Platt or whether the witnesses can testify at trial.

In the end, Judge Alan Hancock asked the attorneys to brief him on the issues, which will be resolved prior to the Jan. 29 trial.

Later in the hearing, Hancock ruled — over defense objection — that the prosecutor can amend the charges against Thomas to include conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. She was previously charged with first-degree murder.

If approved, $3.2 million will continue to pay for 20 teachers funded by the current levy, plus restore 14 teaching positions of the 34 that have been lost due to budget cuts.

It will also fund an additional 30 minutes to the middle school day while continuing to fund an additional 30 minutes of instruction time for the elementary school.

The levy will provided $700,000 in athletics, music and tutoring.

It will restore the activity bus, after-school tutoring and some assistant coaching positions. The levy will restore middle school athletics, and protect current athletic programs, music and other activities from likely cuts.

The levy also includes $500,000 for student health and safety, $1.65 million for

maintenance and custodial services and $2.3 million for textbooks and computers.

The Oak Harbor School Board held a workshop Monday night to discuss the levy’s effect on the district’s special education program.

Superintendent Rick Schulte said that because of input from workshops and meetings with staff and residents, the levy will also include $500,000 for special education students, which could go to fund additional teachers, support staff, materials and supplies.

The Oak Harbor School District currently has 790 special education students from birth to age 21.

Schulte noted during the workshop that state and federal funding for special education doesn’t take into account the severity of a student’s need and most school

districts in the state use local level dollars to supplement special education programs.

Some ideas included hiring another psychologist, improving training for current special education staff and providing more training for general education staff who may have special education students in their classrooms.

The Oak Harbor School Board has been holding workshops in recent months to discuss how the levy will affect various parts of the school district.

The South Whidbey School District is running two levy proposals next month.

The first levy is a maintenance and operations levy that comprises nearly $4 million of the South End school district’s $15-million budget.

The second is a capital projects levy that will bring in $6 million for six years.

The capital levy will provide $750,000 per year for technology upgrades and $1.25 million to fund upgrades such as repairing roofs, siding, HVAC and more.

position CONTINUED FROM A1 him understand where the city’s economic strengths and weaknesses lie, and where his strategy should be focused.

Spoo stressed that he will be focusing on the entire business community, not just certain areas of the city.

Spoo has more than a decade of planning and economic development experience. He worked for the Portland Development Commission and as a consultant for an economic development firm.

“I worked for the private sector, so I’ve seen that side of things,” he said, “which I think is important.”

Dudley said the creation of the new position will be cost neutral. He said the planning department’s workload has decreased due to the economic downturn, so the planners will be able to absorb the loss of half a planner without hiring anyone new.

Krista James-Blackburn previously held the position of economic development coordinator for about eight years, but the position went away in 2003 after she found a job elsewhere.

Mark is very excited about his move to Oak Harbor and serving the community here. Having arrived this past November from Winnemucca, NV he is enjoying our mild winter and looks forward to mowing the lawn in January instead of shoveling snow. Mark has been married for 19 years and has 3 children. They also have a home in Idaho where his youngest will finish out the current school year.

Mark attended the Pittsburg Institute of Mortuary Science where he received his AA. He has been in the Funeral Service business for 10 years now and considers it an honor helping people during what can be a very difficult time. Before entering the Funeral business Mark worked with kids who had substance abuse issues, he is no stranger to difficult situations and working with families during very emotional times.

Burley Funeral Chapel has a long history in Oak Harbor and Mark is pleased to now be a part of it. As a Dignity Memorial provider, Burley's is able to offer many unique benefits: Compassion Helpline • National Transferability Personal Planning Services • Grief Support Bereavement Travel • Veterans Benefits
