Allegations lead to attorney’s ouster from firm OH attorney accused of improperly handling trust

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor attorney was forced to withdraw from his law firm after he was accused of improperly depositing money from a trust account into his personal banking account, according to Island County Superior Court documents.

Douglas Saar’s name was dropped last month from Law Offices of Skinner &

Saar, one of the most well-known law firms on Whidbey Island.

Attorney Christon Skinner said he knew nothing about the allegations until he received “a successor trustee’s report” last month which detailed alleged improprieties and over-billing by Saar.

Skinner said Saar was acting as trustee for the Edwin and Emily Upton Trust outside of the law firm and without his knowledge. He said it is improper for Saar to take on legal work outside the firm Skinner said he immediately asked Saar, a minority shareholder, to leave the firm.

“It’s a sad development,” Skinner said,

“but I have no choice in that situation other then to sever ties when I discovered impropriety.”

Skinner said he had an obligation to report Saar to the state Bar Association for alleged unethical conduct. He said Saar “improperly co-mingled” trust funds with his own.

Skinner said he could not comment on whether the police were notified about the allegations. Neither a detective with the Oak Harbor Police Department nor the county prosecutor were aware of the alleSee saar, A28

The streets of Coupeville were flooded this weekend with mussel enthusiasts.

Visitors came from near and far to taste the tiny town that was teeming

with big mussel flavor.

People wandered the town going from business to business, tasting 16 different chowders made by local participants.

Vickie Chambers, executive director of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, said an estimated 6,000 people came through town.

Former Island County Superior Court Judge Richard Pitt died March 1 at his home in Langley.

He was 85 years old.

Pitt is remembered by family, friends and colleagues as a successful trial attorney and pillar of the community who became a well-respected jurist.

“He leaves a lasting legacy in the annals of the Island County judicial system,” said Judge Alan Hancock, who served with Pitt.

“He was also a very fine person, and he and his lovely wife, Grace, raised a wonderful family together.”

After moving to Whidbey Island in 1962, Pitt became the county prosecutor, which came with many hats at the time; he was also the coroner, the juvenile probation officer and the Langley city attorney. In addition, Pitt was allowed to have a private practice because of the small size of the county.

Pitt became a partner at the Patrick, Zylstra & Pitt law firm in Oak Harbor in 1968.

Shell Shack smoke thieves sought by sheriff’s deputies

“Buzzsaw” Bob Halverson carves an eagle with outstretched wings Saturday afternoon. He was carving in front of Skagit Farmers Supply in Oak Harbor.

Carver creates buzz Saturday in front of farm supply store

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A wooden carving of an eagle came to life in front of motorists driving Saturday on State Highway 20 through Oak Harbor.

“Buzzsaw” Bob Halverson, a Whidbey-based woodcarver, fired up his chainsaw to carve an eagle from a piece of red cedar.

He worked underneath a tent located at the edge of the parking lot at Skagit Farmers Supply in Oak Harbor, within view of motorists, pedestrians and shoppers at the store.

Halverson is famous in chainsaw carving circles. His work was featured on ABC’s TV show The View.

Saturday, he brought several of his carvings with him Saturday to show people his work. Those carvings included several versions of Sasquatch, a larger eagle and an owl resting in a tree.

Halverson has used a chainsaw to carve wood for 23 years. Even so, he said he is still learning his craft.

“You never get as good as you think you want to be,” Halverson said between cuts.

“It’s been 23 years and I have a great passion.”

In addition to his animal sculptures, he also carves family portraits out of chunks of wood.

“People can sit down and I can whip it up in about 45

minute,” he said.

He also carves art from toppled trees and stumps that are still standing in front of a customers home.

“It’s a great way to bring life to it,” Halverson said.

Halverson’s visit to the store’s parking lot was a way to get a bit more exposure while attracting people to the business who may not have thought to stop by, said Dave Greenwood, fencing specialist at Skagit Farmers Supply.

Greenwodd pointed out that the supply store sells more than feed.

Skagit Farmers Supply sells everything from clothes to horse tack to gasoline, he said, adding chicks are now available for sale.

Detectives with the Island County Sheriff’s Office are seeking help identifying three suspects who stole $10,000 worth of tobacco products from a Freeland gas station.

Detective Ed Wallace said the three masked men – or possibly women – entered the Freeland Shell station, commonly known as the Shell Shack, by forcing open the drive-through window at about 3 a.m. Feb. 19.

Wallace released images captured by the store’s surveillance video Monday in hopes someone will be able to help identify the culprits.

Island County Sheriff’s Office released this image of one of three masked burglars who stole cigarettes and chewing tobacco from the Freeland Shell station last month. burglars wore bandanas over their faces. The third thief wore a gorilla mask.

The mask was left behind at the scene. Detectives sent it to the state crime lab for DNA analysis.

Wallace said the crime lab normally doesn’t conduct DNA testing in theft cases.

In this case, though, the

dollar amount of the theft is so high that the test is warranted, Wallace said.

The burglars got away with 110 cartons of cigarettes and 120 cartons of chewing tobacco, according to Wallace.

Wallace said he suspects they will try to sell the tobacco products on the black market.

Bill could put an end to Island County planning at-large elected positions director resigns post

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A bill under consideration in the Washington state Legislature has Oak Harbor school officials concerned about how to fill future vacancies on the elected board.

The bill, known as that Washington Voting Rights Act of 2013, would require elected bodies to eliminate atlarge positions, which is currently how the Oak Harbor School Board and Oak Harbor City Council is comprised, and institute districts to help redress a lack of voter opportunity.

“I think it’s a bad fit for Oak Harbor,” school district Superintendent Rick Schulte said during a recent school board meeting.

Schulte said one of those district’s could include Navy housing and it won’t work well for such a mobile population.

Board president Gary Wallin added that it would

also be difficult to find potential candidates in the San de Fuca area located on the southern edge of the school district.

After the meeting, Schulte said that voters could be faced with a candidate who may not be qualified and it may limit voter choice.

For the Coupeville School District, officials three years ago switched from five director districts to three districts and two at-large positions because of the difficulty finding people to run in specific districts.

Jerry Jenkins, former interim superintendent for the Coupeville School District and current superintendent of Northwest Educational Service District 189 based in Anacortes, said he understands the need for diversity on an elected board, but smaller school districts would be challenged to find people with an interest and ability to serve an elected office.

Schulte mentioned that the legislation stems from communities in central Washington that have sizable ethnic communities but don’t have representation on elected boards.

The voter act is currently in the Governmental Operations Committee. It would affect cities with populations of 1,000 or more and school districts with full-time equivalent enrollment of at least 250 students.

Schulte said he doesn’t know whether the proposed legislation will move out of committee.

If it does by the time he and several school board members meet with state legislators March 11, he will share his concerns about the proposed legislation, along with other topics including how the state will respond to the McCleary decision, a recent state Supreme Court ruling that said Washington isn’t fully funding education.

Pederson plans semi-retirement, ‘bucket list’

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Island County Planning Director Bob Pederson is leaving.

Pederson, hired in 2009, submitted a letter of resignation to the Board of Commissioners Monday morning.

According to the letter, his last day on the job will be Friday, April 5.

“After much thought, I have come to the conclusion that I would like to pursue some other interests at this time in my life; be they semiretirement, consulting work, career opportunities in a new field, travel and fulfilling my ‘bucket list,’” Pederson wrote. “I am also toying with the idea of going to law school, which is something I always wanted to do but could never find the time.”

Pederson could not be reached for comment.

Pederson replaced former planning director Jeff Tate and was the first choice of a board that consisted of three Democrats.

Prior to coming to Island

Bob Pederson County, Pederson was the Manatee County, Fla., community planning administrator.

Over the past four years, he has shepherded several major projects, including the recently adopted Shoreline Master Program update, while administering the department amid unprecedented budget cuts.

Pederson holds the distinction of being sued by his boss. He continues to be embroiled in the unresolved dispute involving Commissioner Kelly Emerson, her husband Ken Emerson, and a building project at their Camano Island home.

The Emersons sued

Pederson, along with a commissioner, planning enforcement officer and the county, in Island County Superior Court. The case was dismissed by Judge Alan Hancock.

Emerson still owes the county $37,000 in fines related to case. It’s currently up to Pederson to decide whether to take action to try to collect the money.

Commissioner Emerson also was unavailable for comment for this story.

Change in the leadership of the planning department is not unusual.

Tate, who worked for years for a Republican majority, resigned his post just months after the election of commissioners Angie Homola and Helen Price Johnson – both Democrats.

Republican Commissioner Jill Johnson, who took office this year, declined to comment on employee matters in an interview Tuesday morning, other than to confirm that the board received his resignation.

“We accepted that and are thankful of his service,” Johnson said.

She also wished him well, saying she is “excited to see what he chooses to do next.”

Tokitae on track for trip to Seattle New ferry superstructure takes voyage

By Jim Larsen Record editor

The superstructure of the new state ferry Tokitae was still poking its nose out of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders Friday morning as workers prepared it for its harrowing journey across the road and beach onto a waiting barge.

In prior days what looked like an elevated railroad had been built, some 14-feet high between the yard and nearby Holmes Harbor. Huge I-beams formed the bridge, perhaps 600-feet long, held aloft by a spider web of supportive bracing.

Matt Nichols, company CEO, estimates the big vessel would proceed about 20-feet per hour until reaching the back of the barge.

The 2.5 million pound piece of shipbuilding work was designed to crawl slowly through the boat yard and

over the rocky beach to the huge barge, which in turned would be towed by two tugs to main contractor Vigor Shipyard in Seattle to be welded to the hull and deck.

Plans had shifted throughout the week, and nothing changed Friday. At first, it was thought the vessel would start moving at 10 a.m., then at noon, and then after lunch, too late for this edition of The Record.

Plenty of people were watching, though, many from the hill leading up to Freeland. Closer to the work site were the two tugboat pilots and the moving project’s insurance underwriter.

“We don’t want anything to go wrong,” said the latter. It’s no simple job moving a superstructure 83-feet wide, 260feet long and roughly 50-feet high, weighing 250 tons.

The tug pilots expected the Tokitae would be loaded late Friday afternoon and, if all went well, they hold the barge overnight in Holmes Harbor, probably leaving with Saturday afternoon’s high tide.

Jim Larsen / The Record

The superstructure of the Tokitae is lined up on the I-beam tracks to prepare for its trip to the barge waiting in Holmes Harbor.

It was scheduled to leave Friday and be towed to Vigor Shipyard in Seattle to be mated to the hull and deck. The new ferry will carry 144 vehicles.

Cove in the 1970s and still alive (and known as “Lolita”) in a Miami aquarium, is the first of four planned 144-car ferries.

Two are funded and Nichols Brothers will start work on the second, named the Samish, as the Tokitae makes its journey to Seattle.

FAVORS AREN’T COUNTED THEY’RE RETURNED FEDERALLY INSURED BY NCUA

“A soon as the superstructure is out we’ll start on the second 144-car ferry immediately,” said Matt Nichols.

“It takes up most of the boatyard,” he said of the project.

Washington State Ferries has budget $274.4 million for the first two Olympic Class vessels, the Tokitae and Samish. The design is based on the 130-vehicle Issaquah Class ferries that have served the Clinton to Mukilteo route for some 30 years. It’s possible the Tokitae could serve that route.

WN

The ferries are not all Nichols Brothers is working on. Several 100-foot tractor tugs are on the docket, one being build for Baydelta in Seattle and two for a competitor named Harley Marine.

“I think we’re doing very well, Nichols said of boat building prospects in a tough economy. “For 2013 it’s falling in place.” He said buyers “slacked off” for a while, but Nichols is so diversified with its ferry work, fishing boats, passenger-carrying catamarans, research and patrol ves-

sels that jobs can still be found.

He expects employment to remain steady this year.

“We’ve got 290 right now, it’s the perfect number, no bursting at the seams, it’s a nice, comfortable number,” he said.

Maintaining a skilled crew is always a challenge, but Nichols likes the present mix.

“We’ve got a veteran crew with a lot of young people,” he said.

“We’ve got 100 in an apprentice program.”

Motorcycle accident injures Renton man

Greenbank Farm hires new trainer

Family ride ends with driver in Harborview Medical Center

Greenbank Farm Management Group hired a new farmer trainer straight from corn country.

The management group named Jessica Babcock as the training director of the Organic Farm School, which has been breaking in new farmer for the past several years. She replaces Sabastian Aguilar, who will help administer the farm on a contract basis. Aguilar moved to Oregon to start a farm.

Babcock comes to the Greenbank Farm from Decorah, Iowa, where she worked for the Seed Savers Exchange, a nonprofit organization striving to preserve heirloom seeds. She said the exchange is the largest non-governmental seed bank in the United States.

She learned about Whidbey Island about 10 years ago when she was a student at Northwestern College in Orange, Iowa. Back then, she traveled to Whidbey Island to participate in an internship at what was then known as the Au Sable Institute. She kept tabs on Whidbey while she finished her undergraduate degree, graduate studies at the University of Montana and working at organic farms

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

A Renton man was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident Saturday on East Silver Lake Road on North Whidbey.

Joel Crouch, 27, suffered head injuries and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle.

A hospital official confirmed Tuesday that he was out of intensive care and in satisfactory condition.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the accident happened shortly after 10 a.m.

Crouch was on a ride with family members from Oak Harbor and was traveling on North Strawberry Point Road when the trouble occurred.

The small group was passing the intersection at North Green Road and

was continuing onto East Silver Lake Road when, for an unknown reason, Crouch veered onto the right shoulder and lost control of his 2007 Kawasaki 250.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Dave Martin said it appears the accident was the result of a momentary lapse of attention, though he is still trying to piece together exactly what happened.

“The unfortunate thing is that nobody saw it,” Martin said.

Crouch left the roadway on the right and landed close to his motorcycle.

Martin said his helmet showed signs of damage and was brought to the hospital as an aid to doctors.

According to Martin, the speed limit on that section of Silver Lake Road is 50 mph.

Crouch is not believed to have been speeding, and neither alcohol nor drugs were involved.

The accident remains under investigation.

Jessica Babcock was named training director at the Greenbank Farm’s organic farm school. and orchards. She had been thinking about returning to Whidbey.

“It’s a new climate and it’s a new farm, but it’s an existing farm,” Babcock said about moving to Greenbank.

With a new growing season drawing near, she is busy recruiting people to attend the upcoming class. She is trying to find local people to participate in the training program and offering a 20 percent tuition discount. The program exposes trainees to farming techniques

and the skills needed to run a successful business.

“We take seriously not just growing local vegetables, but growing local farmers,” Babcock said describing the training program as a trade school.

She will also continue operating the organic seed project, which is designed to develop a supply of organic seeds that can flourish in the Whidbey Island climate.

“I think it’s a really good addition to farm school training,” Babcock said.

Greenbank Farm officials have been searching for new farmer trainer since September.

Farm Manager Judy Feldman said she received a “robust” applicant pool of 20 to 25 people from across the United States.

She said Babcock’s comfort with the community and her willingness to tap local resources to develop the training center made her stand out.

With the new class starting March 11, she is stepping up her recruiting efforts.

She is advertising in a local newsletter, on a LISTSERV and through word-ofmouth.

For information about the training center, call 360-222-3171.

Every playground must have its rules The Whidbey NewsTimes has a lively webBy Keven Graves site that invites reader comments.

As a community newspaper, we welcome a variety of opinions — an exchange of differing ideas. And we have many readers who readily and frequently share their thoughts.

That’s the First Amendment at it’s best.­ Where we run into problems is when people cannot play by the rules.

And, yes, there are rules, just like on any playground.

We expect people to behave.

Unfortunately, the somewhat inhuman nature of the Internet compels people to call one another names and insult and berate one another in a way that an otherwise civil adult would never do face to face.

Some people like to antagonize others — to poke the bear. By­belittling the opinions of others, they like to believe they maintain the upper hand because they can be the rudest. The objective seems to be to drowned out the voices of others.

While obnoxious, it is tolerable — to a point.

The fact is, online comment pages require supervision, a person who welcomes the newcomers, enforces the rules and breaks up the occasional brawl.

That’s where I and other members of the newspaper’s staff will be stepping in when necessary.

When the online comments are offensive, threatening or venture into unnecessary personal attacks, we will issue a warning, either on the online board or privately.

An offending remark will most likely be removed from public view.

In extreme circumstances, when all else fails and a dialogue has gotten out of control, a thread may be shut down completely.

The same is true when profanity is involved, or a person defiantly pushes the limits by continually posting links after being asked to stop.

If a warning doesn’t work, a person may be blocked from the News-Times’ website.

Commenting on the website is not a right, it is a privilege. Everyone should feel free to express their opinions without fear of being verbally attacked or insulted, and certainly not threatened.

Log on the www.whidbeynewstimes.com and join in the discussion.

Just remember to play by the rules.

Letters to the editor

Santa Orange Project brought children joy

Get with the times, Oak Harbor, support wildlife

Editor, Kiwanis Club of Oak Harbor sends a belated thank you to Saar’s Marketplace, for its very generous contribution of oranges, and to terrific Santa, Wes Worrel, for our Santa Orange Project. It was a great success because of you.

Watching the joy and excitement of each child from preschool to first grade was priceless.

Thank you, thank you.

Editor, Reading the article, “Trouble on the docks,” I was alarmed that the Oak Harbor Yacht Club chose to deal with USDA to poison, trap and harass migratory ruddy and black turnstones.

Oak Harbor can do much better turning to and supporting eco-tourism. One birder on March 20, 2012, within a three-mile radius of Oak Harbor Marina, saw two American wigeons, 20 mallards, five surf scoters, four buffelheads, 10 common goldeneyes, two hooded mergansers, eight horned grebes, two doublecrested cormorants, four great blue herons, six bald eagles, two red-tailed hawks, four kildeers, one ruddy turnstone, 40 black turnstones, 30 dunlins, 20 gullsps, two belted kingfishers, 10 american crows, one bewick’s wren, 20 american robins, two spotted

towhees, two song sparrows, and four dark-eyed juncos.

Which of those species will be next to be targeted because they create some offensive disturbance to people who purport to love nature by living within such a natural setting and a migratory birding stopover?

Do your research on the animals that inhabit the environment in the marina. Otters have been in the marina area since I have lived in Oak Harbor for more than 15 years.

USDA is not known to lean toward the side of wildlife and will not make the extra effort to relocate any wildlife it is successful in catching.

Animals don’t care about people invading their environment. At this time of year, they have only one thing in mind — to nourish their bodies to continue their flight to the Arctic.

Come on Oak Harbor, get with the 21st century.

Rhody license plates benefit Meerkerk garden A new Washington state flower license plate is rapidly taking front stage to be one of the most popular in the state.

“Yes, it is beautiful, in more ways than one,” said Don Meehan, vice president of Meerkerk Gardens in Greenbank.

“It comes to support Meerkerk Gardens at a time when many non profits are struggling and needing financial help.”

The plate joins an existing 35 specialty license plates available to drivers in the state.

The flower on the plate is the native rhododendron macrophyllum, which is Washington’s state flower and grows throughout central Whidbey, many along the main highway.

Clinton artist and Meerkerk vol-

unteer Barbara Cornelsen designed the plate working closely with the Meerkerk Garden’s staff and board members. It was approved by state Department of Licensing.

To demonstrate to the state Legislature the demand for such a plate, Meerkerk obtained more than 3,500 signatures from people who indicated they would purchase such a plate if it became available.

“We didn’t have to twist people’s arms to get them to sign our petition,” said Don Lee, president and lead on signature gathering.

“Once they saw what the plate was going to look like they had no trouble putting pen to paper in support of our effort.”

It took more than two years of work to get the Legislature to open the specialty plate process for the

Obituaries

The new “Rhody Plate” state flower plate.

Former senator Mary Margaret Haugen and Rep. Norma Smith led the charge in the Legislature, working with Lee and Meehan.

Two plates were approved each year over the past two years. In addition to the state flower plate a 4-H plate was approved. It became available in January.

Four-H is a youth program of Washington State University. Funds from that plate go to the State 4-H Foundation to support 4-H state-

wide.

The state flower plate, aka Rhody Plate, is the second specialty license plate designed specifically to support local Whidbey Island nonprofit organizations.

TheLighthouseplatebecameavailable seven years ago. It supports the Admiralty Head Lighthouse docent program and other environmental education programs of Washington State University Extension.

More than 5,000 lighthouse plates sold with about 3,600 presently active.

Funds from the Rhody Plate will be used for operations and maintenance at Meerkerk and expanded use of the 50-acre garden and woodland setting.

In addition, the Meerkerk board of directors chose to set aside some

of the funds that come from the license plate to fund grants to other organizations throughout the state that work with native plants and rhododendrons.

The plates are sold at all state licensing offices.

Rhody plates are available for cars, trucks, motorcycles and trailers.

To purchase a specialty plate, one needs to pay more than the cost of a regular plate, beginning with a $45 fee the first year, and $30 each year thereafter.

A total of $28 from each specialty plate purchased or renewed is set aside by state licensing for the sponsoring organization. Each purchaser can declare the $28 as a donation on their taxes each year.

A man with many passions — his family, his friends, baseball as well as building and fixing things — Joe Anastasi was quick to laugh, ready to lend a hand and always willing to provide sage counsel on any of life’s challenges.

He was good man who was loved by his family and friends and touched many with his kindness and generosity.

Joseph Anthony Anastasi, Jr., of Langley, Wash., died on the evening of Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013, after a battle with multiple myeloma.

He was 71.

Joe was an involved dad to his five children, coaching soccer and Little League and taking his family on frequent camping trips to Deception Pass, the Cascade Mountains and other

areas around Puget Sound.

He loved the outdoors and enjoyed an annual week-long hunting trip with friends and family to the Republic area of Eastern Washington to set up an elaborate campsite, play practical jokes and party with the pretext of stalking deer amidst snow covered foothills.

An active member of Langley United Methodist Church, he served on the Anastasi board and was always a willing volunteer and supporter to the congregants.

He also served as president of the Whidbey Shores neighborhood association and as a volunteer for Hearts and Hammers, a nonprofit group.

Joe was a sales-focused engineer throughout the majority of his career, a representative for companies selling industrial equipment to factories, mills and water plants.

With a partner, he formed his own company, APSCO, selling and installing industrial-sized pumps and compressors to

municipalities and private companies across western states.

Later, he was director of facilities for the South Whidbey School District and a contracted project manager, overseeing the building of a water plant in Wrangell, Ala. as well as in Wilbur, Wash.

At the time of his death he was managing the building of a new headquarters facility and main base for Island Transit in Coupeville, Wash.

Joe is survived by his brother Richard, of West Depford, N.J.; children Debbie Anastasi Black, of Snohomish, Wash.; Michael, Buckley, Wash.; Kelli Doherty, of Leavenworth, Wash.; Nora and Emma, of Langley; and the children’s mothers, Jayne, of Mukilteo, Wash. and Carrie Carpenter, of Langley; two nieces and nine grandchildren.

A memorial service is 2 p.m. Saturday, April 6 at Langley United Methodist Church in Langley.

Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to Central Whidbey State Parks, c/o Central Whidbey State Park, 1280 Engle Road, Coupeville, Wash. 98239.

Elementary school archery program right on target

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Lookw out William Tell, here come Brandon Barns and Valerie Quiambao.

Barns and Quiambao are two of many Oak Harbor elementary students involved in the archery program at their respective schools.

Crescent Harbor, Broad View, Oak Harbor and Olympic View elementary schools offer an archery unit through their physical education classes, and Crescent Harbor and Broad View provide after-school archery clubs that compete in tournaments.

The clubs head to Central Washington University in Ellensburg for the Washington National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) championships at 8:40 a.m.

Saturday, March 16.

The sharp-shooting Quiambao, from Crescent Harbor, placed second in the fifth-grade girls division at state last year, while schoolmate Issis Foster-Suyat finished third among fourthgrade girls.

Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

Valerie Quiambao, left, and Brandon Barns take aim during Saturday’s competition.

Pryor (Broad View) attended a conference session on the NASP program several years ago, and that sparked the idea to include archery in their P.E. curriculums.

From there came the clubs; this is Broad View’s third year and Crescent Harbor’s second.

Funding for the unit initial-

For Broad View, Patricia Miessner was fourth among fourth-grade girls and Hannah Barns ninth in fifthgrade girls.

The top five in each division qualify for the national tournament. This year’s national meet is in Louisville.

ly came from the Washington State Archery Association through a grant to Pryor from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. That covered the initial equipment and instruction for teachers Ronning, Pryor, Holly Troyer and Chad Boyer.

Ronning later received a grant from the same source, and some Physical Education Program grant monies were also used.

The Crescent Harbor club consists of 24 students; 22 attend at Broad View. Both clubs practice for one hour one day a week. The clubs are for fourth and fifth graders, with a few older members who participated last year sprinkled in.

At the competitions, each shooter, using standardized bows and arrows, shoots 15 arrows from both 10 and 15 meters at a bulls-eye target.

Ten points are awarded for a center hit, descending out to one point for a rim shot.

A perfect score is 300.

Broad View competed in three matches so far this year, and Brandon Barns has compiled the state’s best score in his division.

In Mount Vernon in January, Barns tallied a firstplace 227. Jaden Darling of Crescent Harbor finished second (220) and Quiambao third (218).

“This has been a great program. Almost every student gets excited when we get our turn with this unit,” Pryor said.

“The goal is to offer the students a chance to gain exposure and to participate in a lifetime activity that maybe they will want to enjoy as they get older,” said Ronning.

“It is great to see how much their scores improve over the course of the season.

Chamber ‘OHscars’ event salutes best in business A star-studded crowd gathered at Bakerview Restaurant on Ault Field Road in Oak Harbor Saturday, Feb. 23 for an award ceremony honoring the best in local business.

The “OHscars,” as the annual awards banquet for the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce was dubbed this year, were presented in several categories, including customer service, employer of the year and business of the year.

A special lifetime achievement award was presented to longtime chamber volunteer Jo Balda.

The event was also the fundraising kickoff for the annual Fourth of July celebration fireworks display.

The chamber’s business membership came together to bid for the right to be a grand sponsor for the fireworks spectacular, which the chamber holds each year at Windjammer Park.

This year’s grand sponsors are Toppins, Sherwin Williams Paints and Whidbey Coffee.

Award winners were: Whidbey Island

Bank, for Best Business Community Service; Tradewinds Insurance, for Best Customer Service; the Oak Harbor Lions Club, for Best Community Service Organization; Gail Turner of Acorn Dental, for Chamber Member of the Year; Habitat for Humanity, for Best Nonprofit Organization; Gene Kelly Barner’s Edward Jones, for the Quality Award; Whidbey Coffee, for Employer of the Year; El Cazador Mexican Grill and Cantina for Business of the Year; Home Depot and Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor were each presented with an Acorn Award; and Julie Speck was named Chamber Ambassador of the Year.

Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce raises approximately $15,000 a year to fund the free fireworks show for the public.

The annual banquet raises about half the funds needed.

Additional daily and weekend sponsorships are available for businesses and community members to purchase.

For information about sponsorships, call the Oak Harbor Chamber at 360-675-3755.

Suddenly, you begin to better understand why this 32-year-old from Coupeville was chosen for a reality television series. When he starts to talk, revealing a wisdom beyond his years, you understand even more.

“It happened rather quickly,” Keohane said.

Keohane answered a casting call last summer and landed a part on the reality fishing series, Alaska Fish Wars, which recently aired on National Geographic’s Wild channel.

He is one of three boat captains featured on the show as they fish for salmon during a tight timeline in Cook Inlet. Keohane is by far the youngest of the skippers and is depicted as a rookie captain who gets tangled in “rookie” mistakes.

Gavin Keohane, 32, says he figures he might have regretted his decision if he didn’t try out for the cast of a reality TV show.

Gavin Keohane jokes around while sitting atop his boat, the Kaliber, during a recent visit back home to Whidbey Island.

Keohane doesn’t get through too many bites of his “Country Scramble” at the Tyee before you begin to realize that not everything on reality TV reflects, uh … reality.

In years, he’s a kid out there on the Alaskan seas compared to the two elder captains on the show. But in expertise and knowledge, Keohane is a third generation Alaska commercial salmon fisherman who’s been captaining his own vessel, the North Crow, since 2003 and has been aboard his parents’ commercial fishing boats since as far back as he can remember.

“The story is I learned to crawl on a boat,” Keohane said. “I’ve never spent a summer anywhere else.”

Keohane (pronounced Ko-hane) is most at home near saltwater, whether he returns to his roots at his parents’ property on Whidbey Island or in Kenai,

Tim and Paula Keohane of Coupeville held a ‘premier party’ at a friend’s house on Feb. 8, when Alaska Fish Wars first aired.

‘We’re ridiculously proud,’ Paula said of her son, Gavin.

Alaska, where he lives in a converted barn he calls “fish camp” during the sockeye salmon season.

He learned the fishing trade mostly from his parents Tim and Paula Keohane, both commercial fishers, but didn’t imagine he’d take it on so passionately as an adult.

Gavin, a 1999 Coupeville High School graduate, set out anticipating a more traditional career, earning a degree in business and economics at Occidental College in Los Angeles, where he also was a two-year starter on the basketball team.

“The funny thing is, I had no desire to do it really, then I thought, financially it kind of makes sense,” Keohane said.

“I can make a little bit of money. The boat’s cheap.

The permits were cheap at the time. So it’ll be a couple years and I’d probably be able to pay it off. It was decent investment-wise as long as I wanted to do the work.

“Once I had my own control over the situation it came to a new level.”

Still, in all of his time on the water, Gavin never could have forecasted the latest adventure.

Beach community eager to discover if she said ‘yes’

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

When Dave Cross returned from a stroll with his dog, he couldn’t wait to tell his wife what he saw.

“He said, ‘You’re not going to believe what’s down by the beach,’” Patty Cross said.

The North Whidbey Island couple, who will celebrate their 37th wedding anniversary in May, was awed by a romantic message in the sand.

Etched in a bluff along the beach east of Oak Harbor was an elaborate marriage proposal written in pink and light blue surrounded by 12 multi-color roses. It read:

reality TV series.

“I knew fishing was exciting,” Gavin said of the idea behind the TV show.

“It was tough to decide to take the opportunity, I guess, to at least try out, if you will.

I wasn’t sure. I was like, ‘Well am I selling out?’ It’s a reality show. I’m not a huge TV fan in general, let alone reality shows. I’m not trying to go out there and be Jersey Shore or anything. I had no idea what I was getting into.”

Gavin didn’t get long to decide.

The timeline was tight. He did a Skype interview, and in hours, learned that he made the cut.

“I ended up making the decision kind of on the basis of ‘Well I’ll never know, unless I try,’” Gavin said.

“I would always regret not really doing it. The reservations I had were mostly based on the prejudices I had about what it was going to be and I really had no idea what it was going to be.”

Shooting began almost immediately in June. Gavin

“ALLIE, WILL YOU MARRY ME?” The discovery came just days before Valentine’s Day last month, and has left the Mariners Cove community buzzing to uncover answers to two specific questions: Who is the couple and did she say yes?

“He had colored each letter so it would stand out a little bit,” Patty said.

“This was some serious time that he took. He took real roses and lined the three sides of it.”

The Cross’s recently returned from a trip out of state only to learn that the answers to those questions

said the crew captured footage during 10 days of the three-week fishing season, putting together three episodes for Alaska Fish Wars.

The series ran in February and will re-run this week and beyond on National Geographic’s Wild channel.

“When I talk about it, I can’t find a door big enough to walk through,” Tim joked, noting his head becomes too big.

“We’re ridiculously proud,” Paula said.

Gavin is depicted as a young captain making rookie mistakes, including sleeping in late one episode and missing a day of fishing. He smiles about how he’s portrayed.

“They keep on calling me rookie or ‘Rookie Captain Green’ and they show me doing all these mistakes,” he said.

“But I think in reality I have more and perhaps better experience than a lot of the people out there just from my situation with family and I have been fishing for a long time. So I have a role to play and I play it.”

Gavin said he was paid less than $10,000 for the

are still a mystery.

“We are very curious,” Patty said.

“We’re probably 70 percent retired up here. We have a few young couples in the cove, not that many. We’re all very close and all very curious.”

Despite the recent winds and rain, the artsy proposal can still be seen etched in the bluff, though the roses have blown away.

The thought and effort behind the proposal, however, will take longer to disappear.

“It definitely brought back some of the romance,” Patty said.

saar CONTINUED FROM A1 gations or any investigation.

Hans Juhl, a Seattle attorney representing Saar, said the parties involved in litigation over the case reached an agreement, in principal, at the end of last week. Saar could not be reached for comment.

Clarke Harvey, a Clinton attorney, was named as the successor trustee to the Upton trust last summer after Saar was removed.

Harvey wrote an “accounting and report” as well as a “supplemental accounting and report” which detailed the short history of the trust, which is described as being worth about $320,000.

Harvey wrote that Saar deposited $42,000 from the

Wednesday, March 6, 2013 • Whidbey News-Times

trust into his own personal account.

Harvey said he discovered that the files from Saar didn’t include any information about the cash, so he asked Saar about it last fall.

Saar said he forgot to mention it and later gave Harvey a cashier’s check for the money, the report states.

“In light of the new information that I have received, there are serious questions as to whether Mr. Saar has breached his obligation to the Trust, and the extent of any negligence or misconduct on his part,” Harvey wrote in his findings.

In addition, a motion filed

by Langley attorney Carolyn Cliff, who is representing Upton’s son, Kevin Upton, states that Saar paid himself from the trust account nearly $68,000 over six months in fees for acting as the trustee.

pitt CONTINUED FROM A1

Megan Hansen / Whidbey News-Times

People lined up to get David Day’s mussels, cooked in a giant paella pan, outside Bayleaf.

mussel CONTINUED FROM A1 Chambers said second and third place winners were close behind.

People packed the Recreation Hall both days to witness the fun and fast-paced musseleating contest.

The first day’s winner was Chelsy Certain, a mussel festival newby who is also a third baseman on the Skagit Valley College fastpitch team.

“I was really nervous just like before a big game,” she said. “I sat down and there were two burly guys next to me. One of the guys mentioned to me, ‘Don’t look up. Just keep eating.’”

“I just went for it.”

Event organizers said they were prepared for and happy about the large turnout.

More than 250 children participated in activities on Front Street, including “fishing”

for a prize off the pier.

The Boys and Girls Club parked 400 cars near the library and 278 passports were turned in.

For every $5 spent in town at participating businesses, visitors got a stamp. Once a card had $50 in stamps, they were able to turn them in.

The waterfront association will draw $600 in prizes from those submissions.

Businesses were happy with the traffic they got this weekend, Chambers said. Some even said sales were up from previous mussel festival years.

Overall, Chambers said she was happy with the event.

“It was well balanced,” she said. “There was something for everyone.”

For Chambers, she said her favorite part were cooking demonstrations.

“It’s so cool when these professional chefs come from off island and do cooking demos,” she said. “And I can’t help but love the musseleating contest.”

a letter from noted Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, congratulating him on the quality of his brief in the case.

Hancock said he remembers Pitt as a respected member of the community when he was growing up in Coupeville, where Pitt and his wife lived before moving to North Whidbey.

Pitt was his Sunday school teacher at Coupeville United Methodist Church.

Later, Pitt welcomed Hancock to the bench.

“I enjoyed serving with him,” Hancock said. “He was soft-spoken, personable and down-to-earth, but also strong-willed, particularly when it came to the less fortunate in our society.”

“He had a strong sense of fairness.”

Then-Gov. Dixy Lee Ray appointed Pitt as Superior Court judge in 1977. At the time, judges in Island County Superior Court also served San Juan County.

His wife, Grace Pitt, said Pitt would often fly or take a ferry to Friday Harbor. Sometimes they took their boat to the San Juans for the weekend and stay until court on Monday.

Coupeville attorney Craig Platt, formerly the county’s contracted defense attorney, argued in front of Pitt and remembers him fondly.

“Judge Pitt was one of the finest judges I ever had the honor of practicing before,” he said. “He always got to the heart of the issue.

He understood the human condition of the people involved in the cases before him and

Cliff described the fees as “extraordinary,” especially since “the trust instrument expressly provided that the successor trustee was to serve without payment of any compensation.”

According to Cliff, Saar wrote amendments to Edwin Upton’s trust during the final three months of Upton’s life.

One of the amendments named Saar as successor trustee in place of one of his sons. Edwin Upton passed away on Jan. 11, 2012.

Cliff wrote in her report that foreclosure litigation was pending against Saar and his wife for a year before he assumed control of the Upton trust.

The foreclosure case involved Saar’s home and four different promissory obligations, “in principal amounts totaling over $950,000.”

“He was the kindest, most considerate man I ever met, both professionally and privately” Stacey Lombardo, court reporter

he always tried to do the right thing.”

Platt said Pitt had a portrait of Clarence Darrow in his chambers. He said he was very honored when Pitt gave the portrait to him when he retired in 1993; Platt hung in his office.

“It’s still there,” he said. “It stares at me every day.”

Stacey Lombardo worked as Pitt’s court reporter. She said he was an extremely fair judge who treated everyone the same, whether they were garbage haulers or appellate attorneys.

“He was the kindest, most considerate man I ever met, both professionally and privately,” she said.

Lombardo said Pitt’s kindness, intelligence and fairness “spoiled her” for working with other judges.

“He’s the standard I hold all other men, lawyers and judges to,” she said.

Judge Vickie Churchill currently holds Pitt’s former seat on the bench. She said he was respected and had a reputation for being thorough.

Grace Pitt said her husband had a great respect for the profession and truly loved being a judge. Under state law, Pitt was forced to retire when he became 75 years old.

He and his wife kept busy boating, golfing, skiing, gardening and traveling. But his greatest interest, Grace said, was his family.
