DISASTer STRIKES Whidbey

Massive landslide wreaks destruction County exploring next steps

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An enormous landslide in Ledgewood Wednesday morning destroyed at least one home and impacted more than 30 others.

The incident has sparked national and even international media attention as residents in the area wait to hear what will happen to their homes.

The slide occurred in the Central Whidbey Community at 3:45 a.m. Hundreds of feet of earth sloughed off from the bluff above Driftwood Way, destroying much of the road and knocking one home off its foundation.

“It’s massive. I wouldn’t even put a description on it,” said Chad Michael, assistant chief of Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue.

The devastated area was the length of almost four football fields. In fact, aerial footage from news helicopters show a shoreline transformed, from a straight waterfront to one that now has a large peninsula jutting out into Puget Sound.

The destroyed road cut off 17 homes, five of which were occupied at the time of the slide, Michael said. No one was hurt, but the resident in a home that was knocked off its foundation had a preexisting medical condition and was transported to Whidbey General Hospital.

Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue emergency responders evacuated residents from the area, some by boat.

According to Fire Chief Ed Hartin, a total of 17 homes

Landslide coverage

As Ledgewood residents anxiously await news on what’s to become of their community, county officials say it could be months before all questions get answered.

“Right now we’re focusing on getting access to homes isolated by the slide,” said Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson.

The commissioners met in special session to declare a state of emergency for Island County.

A declaration of emergency helps officials expedite the securing of materials and contracts needed to address the disaster.

County workers are bringing in loads of gravel that will be used to create an ATV trail where a footpath currently sits.

“Our focus is trying to keep people safe,” she said.

“It’s still a very dangerous landslide area.”

Price Johnson said it is unclear when clean-up will begin. The slide area is still See response, A8

Little Caesars to reopen Monday following crash

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Thanks to a supportive community and good insurance, an Oak Harbor pizza shop reopens Monday, approximately one month after a car rammed through the store prompting an unexpected closure.

Oak Harbor’s Little Caesars, located in a strip mall between Safeway and Rite Aid, opens 11:30 a.m.

Monday with a ribbon cutting and deals for pizza lovers.

Workers were busy this week renovating the restaurant.

They were installing new sale system, new ovens, counters and more to be ready in time for the grand re-opening.

“We have a lot going on,” said Mike De Wilde, owner of Little Caesars in Oak Harbor.

Workers had a lot to do after an elderly woman in

February apparently got confused with the accelerator and brake pedals and crashed into the pizza place shortly before opening.

The car, a Ford Crown Victoria, crashed through the storefront’s glass, through the counters into the kitchen before coming to a rest at the freezers located near the rear of the business.

The ovens were on fire but were extinguished by an employee of a neighboring business.

Little Caesars has been closed since the accident to repair the damage.

In addition to the damage to the equipment and counters, the car also damaged a sink, which caused flooding in Little Caesars. The water also seeped into neighboring businesses.

Since the closure, large wood panels cover the windows and door that the car

crashed through.

Once the initial shock wore off, De Wilde noted how Little Caesars prepared for such an emergency.

He estimates the damages at $60,000, which includes the wages of the dozen people who work for him.

“It would have been more catastrophic if we couldn’t pay our employees,” De Wilde said.

De Wild also credits the efforts of the contractor, who brought in dehumidifiers to help with the water, in making sure the repairs are complete in time.

He said the accident will provide for an upgrade in the pizza shop’s equipment, which will, in turn, allow staff to prepare pizzas faster and fresher.

Employees this weekend will start practicing preparing pizzas and give slices out to the community.

Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Little Caesars manager Chad Annema and owner Mike De Wilde were working inside the pizza shop in February when a car drove into the space. The damage prompted Little Caesars to close for more than a month. It reopens Monday.

De Wilde said staff needs to familiarize itself with the new product, which is a deep, deep dish pizza.

Staff will offer slices until

they run out. Little Caesars will be closed Easter Sunday, which traditionally isn’t a big pizza holiday.

A ribbon cutting is at 11:30

a.m., Monday, April 1.

To mark the reopening of the business, Little Caesars will offers specials through April 6.

Questions abound about interim swim coach benefits

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Several residents were on hand during Thursday’s North Whidbey Park and Recreation District meeting questioning the money provided to the interim swim coach for several months.

A resident attending the public meeting before the five-member elected board was concerned that the vouchers showed the interim coach, Steve Wicher, received more than $2,800

on top of his salary and there were concerns the park district was subsidizing his rent.

Bill Walker, executive director for the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District, said vouchers for Wicher are based on receipts from expenses he accrued through February.

He added that the park district subsidized Wicher’s rent during his tenure as interim coach.

After Monday’s meeting, Walker said that he con-

sidered the rent as a travel expense.

Wicher was living in Pocatello, Idaho when he took the interim job and he wasn’t able to get out of his rental agreement to move to Oak Harbor for a position that was supposed to last a month and a half, Walker said.

Wicher ended up serving as interim coach for threeand-a-half months.

Parent Carolyn Pape was concerned that the rent subsidy would be considered a

“gift” of public funds.

Park Commissioner Steve Hoffmire said he understands people’s concerns and struggles with the idea of having the park district pay anyone’s rent.

He said such a decision should be up to the commissioners to make.

The park district paid Wicher $795 a month for rent.

In addition, the park district also paid a salary of $3,466 a month with no benefits.

Walker said the rent and salary paid for Wicher was under the amount budgeted for the salary and benefits for the swim coach position.

The swim coach has a budgeted salary of $45,000 a year, plus a $262.60 a month retirement contribution plus $1,500 a month in health benefits, which comes to a bit more than $5,500 a month.

Sean Merrill, head of the elected board of commissioners, said that the five-member board needs to examine the agreements

made with contract employees in the future.

He added that the park district recently self-reported a bank account issue to the state auditor’s office and had to pay for the agency’s investigation.

Costs for state auditor investigation is tallied at $4,041.

“The last thing we need to do is go before them again,” Merrill said during the meeting.

Coffee with the commissioner Commissioner Helen Price Johnson scheduled the first in a series of informal coffee chats for April 2, perfect timing for residents who want to get the latest information about the landslide.

The public is welcome to join Price Johnson for an informal discussion about county issues at 5:30 p.m., April 2 at at Anchor Books, State Highway 525, Clinton.

Price Johnson said she hopes to hold many more of these opportunities to talk “after hours” with her about local government topics.

“Of course, folks are welcome to call, email or make an appointment to meet with me any time,” Price Johnson said. “I hope to speak with you soon.”

Commissioner Price Johnson can be reached via email district1@co.island.wa.us or by phone at 360-679-7357.

Unusual charges appear on North Whidbey parks district credit card During a review of the credit card for the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District, officials noticed two unusual charges.

Officials noticed two charges, $83.72 and $116.75, to a Macy’s department store in Fort Myers, Fla. Bill Walker, executive director for the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District, said he didn’t know how those charges made it on the park district’s credit card.

“The charges weren’t made by anyone associated with the district and we don’t know where it came from,” Walker said during Thursday’s parks commission meeting.

He said he contacted the credit card company about the questionable charges, and the company promptly wrote them off.

Commissioner Allan McDougall said he was concerned about the word “fraud?” that was hand written on the transaction summary presented during the meeting.

McDougall said he wondered if the word might be associated with someone at the district.

Walker said the credit card account was closed and a new one opened in its place.

Island Transit officials worry about off-island connections

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Island Transit officials are worried they may lose funding for a service that is seeing a growing number of riders.

The Tri-County Connector and Everett Connector provide bus transportation from Whidbey and Camano islands to Mount Vernon and Everett.

Martha Rose, executive director for Island Transit, said she is concerned that the money needed to fund the connector services won’t make it into the state budget.

Current funding for the program runs out June 30.

Island Transit participates in two connector services. The Tri-County Connector connects Oak Harbor to Mount Vernon and then Bellingham.

The Everett Connector connects Camano Island with Everett. Ridership on the connector routes have increased since they were implemented.

“Tri-County and Everett has become one piece of a nice healthy puzzle,” Rose said of the two connector routes.

Island Transit officials have been busy keeping their riders abreast of the situation. They have been sending

Martha Rose, executive director, Island Transit

out rider alerts encouraging people to contact their state representative.

State Rep. Dave Hayes, who is a member of the House Transportation Committee, noted that Rose is doing a great job keeping Island Transit’s riders up to date on the situation.

The Tri-County Connector and the Everett Connector are line items in the state budget. He said he is talking with legislators in districts affected by the routes along with members of the transportation committee to try to preserve the connector routes. He said a draft of the state transportation budget should be available sometime this week.

The Tri-County Connector costs approximately $3 million per biennium to operate and the Everett Connector costs approximately $2.1 million per biennium to operate.

Both connector services started in 2006 with 55,000 Island Transit riders using the Tri-County Connector and 8,100 riders using the Everett Connector.

Since its initial year, ridership on the connectors have steadily increased. In 2012, 147,000 Island Transit riders used the Tri-Connector and 45,500 riders used the Everett Connector, according to information provided by Island Transit.

The connectors provide an alternative to workers who have long commutes.

Karen Boldra uses the connectors during the week to help with her commute from the Tulalip Reservation near Marysville to her job in Oak Harbor where she is a writer.

She drives from her home to Mount Vernon and then hops on an Island Transit, which offers fare-free service, to her job on Whidbey. She said it cuts her fuel costs in half and the two-hour trip happens opposite commuter traffic.

“I’m so blessed,” Boldra said. She also complimented Island Transit’s personnel, saying it’s the most professional she’s encountered.

Joseph Mosolino, owner of Windermere Real Estate South Whidbey, has been appointed to the Conservation Futures Citizens Advisory Board.

The Island County commissioners selected Mosolino to fill a vacant seat on the group at the board’s regular Monday meeting in Coupeville.

The boards’ decision was unanimous.

According to Mosolino’s letter of interest, he lives in

Oak Harbor and has been a resident of Island County for 16 years. Along with being the owner and managing broker of the Windermere franchise in South Whidbey, is an active member of the Washington Association of Realtors.

He also experience on various state boards, such as the Legislative Steering Committee and Land and Water Use Committee, and has a bachelor’s in communications and public relations, and a master’s in public administration.

“My reasons for requesting consider for the position are from genuine, deep appreciation for the important work of the Conservation Futures Fund and an understanding of the complex challenges surrounding the decisionmaking process affecting the fund,” Mosolino said in his letter of interest.

“I feel that a member of the real estate community and especially a member of the Realtor’s association can be an important asset to the Conservation Futures

Advisory Board.”

The Conservation Futures Fund is an annual revenue source funded by property taxes dedicated toward purchasing open space land, farmland, agricultural land, and timber land for conservation purposes.

Applications undergo an extensive examination process by two review bodies: the Technical Advisory Group and the Citizens Advisory Board. Both are advisory groups that make recommendations to the board.

Tour de Whidbey bike race returning in September

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

FREE PICK UP

riders can choose routes that are 10, 30, 40 50 and 100 miles in length.

Routes feature Whidbey Island communities from Langley to Oak Harbor.

While the 100-mile route is one of the more challenging in the state, the 10-mile ride, which starts at Coupeville Middle and High School, is virtually flat and is appropriate for beginning riders and families with children.

The other routes start from the Greenbank Farm.

The middle distance routes are catered to more interme-

diate riders.

Foundation officials canceled the tour in 2012 after hospital leaders eliminated a position from the nonprofit’s staff due to budget.

Blankenship said the timing of the decision didn’t allow for enough time to find a replacement and then organize the event last year.

“We couldn’t responsibly commit to doing a tour if we couldn’t do it well,” Blankenship said.

This year, the foundation

hired an organizer on a contract basis to conduct.

During the off year, Blankenship said she kept in touch with sponsors and, once the 2013 event became a reality, she started fundraising again.

Blankenship said she has raised approximately $38,000 from sponsors toward the goal.

The 2011 Tour de Whidbey attracted around 500 riders and signups so far have exceeded signups at this

Massive landslide brought out the best in people publisher’s column

By Keven Graves This week, I had a front-row seat to the awesome power of Mother Nature, and the best part of humankind.

Since Feb. 11 I’ve been living in a home in Ledgewood Beach.

It was a temporary place while I searched for something more permanent.

From the huge living room window, I enjoyed watching the ferry crossing between Keystone and Port Townsend. I also got into the habit of scouting for the occasional submarine.

The view was spectacular.

At about 4 a.m. Wednesday I was awakened by what sounded like a sonic boom — like something was thrown against the house.

I opened up the door, looked out back, listened and decided what I was hearing was thunder.

“Odd, no lightning,” I thought, closed the door and went back to bed.

Minutes later, a fire engine pulled in front of the house, a bright light shining in my bedroom window. Eventually, a firefighter came to my door and explained there’d been a large landslide, and it was still active.

I went to my back door again, watched the firefighter walk toward the center of the back yard and then stop. I scanned the water, noting the lights across the water, and thought, “what a beautiful night.”

Then I noticed.

Even through the darkness, I could see trees that had once blocked a portion of the marine view were gone.

After voicing an expletive, I heard another chunk of hillside slide away and trees snapping in the night.

It was time to leave.

Later that day, I returned knowing that I would never sleep another night in the Ledgewood house. I was moving.

Next door, my neighbor was packing out his belongings, his own house now sidled up to the edge of a cliff.

I walked to the back fence in my yard and looked down to see bare dirt where trees and brush once covered the hillside.

I’m grateful to those who gave their time to help me See Thankful, A7

Shouldn’t put up with childish behavior Editor, I agree with Greg Banks’ conclusion not to pursue criminal charges against councilmen Rick Almberg and Joel Servatius for their actions during a city council meeting Jan. 15. My problem is that if Mr. Banks wants to hold up the councilmen as heroes of the Constitution for defending their First Amendment right, he must also acknowledge Mr. Frails’ courage in trying to hold the duly-elected representatives of Oak Harbor accountable.

Though Banks found that Frails’ complaint did not have standing, the councilmen should not dismiss it as frivolous. Frail obviously felt he was harmed.

Banks stated, “It is worth noting that a law restricting guns from city council chambers would not be unconstitutional.”

That is true. The problem is, a law restricting guns from council chambers has not been adopted. When Mr. Almberg asked Lucas Yonkman to check his weapon with the chief of police, he was asking him to relinquish

his Second Amendment right.

Banks also states, “The protections of the Bill Of Rights, including the right to bear arms, are not absolute.”

Lawyers and civil libertarians like to praise our Founding Fathers for their insight when they authored the First Amendment, but think the founders lost their minds when they included the right to bear arms second only to our rights of free exercise of religion, and freedom of speech.

The Founding Fathers included a process for amending the Constitution.

Though the process is cumbersome, it was designed to be that way. It was used successfully 17 times since our Constitution was ratified in 1791.

The time-honored method of a constitutionally-protected protest of walking out of a government meeting seems childish to me.

The private sector would not put up with that. We would not put up with that from our children. The citizens of Wisconsin, Texas and Oak Harbor should not put up with it either.

My last quote from Banks is, “In the United States of America, legislators are authorized and expected to vigorously exercise their First Amendment right and express their thoughts and ideas, regardless of the popularity of those issues.”

I would like to add that as citizens, we are also authorized and expected to vigorously exercise our Second Amendment right, regardless of how unpopular it is with our duly elected representatives.

Our Constitution was not established to guarantee public safety. It was established to secure the blessings of liberty.

Mysterious lights probably lanterns Editor, In reference to recent odd sightings in the skies, on March 27 at around 9 p.m. while driving home from a friends house, my family and I saw two orange glowing objects in the sky above the intersection of Southwest Eighth and State Highway 20.

Clearly visible over Skagit Farmers Supply and slowly heading toward the moon until they burnt out, we could make them out as flying lanterns, similar to ones prevalent in some forms of eastern mystical worship.

We think them a very plausible explanation for recent “UFO” sightings over Whidbey Island.

with my own move. They didn’t have to.

In a short amount of time, I had a small team helping me. A couple of Ledgewood residents jumped in to help, and others offered their assistance.

In a matter of hours, we filled a 26-foot U-Haul to the rafters.

Over the next couple of

days. One woman stopped to just ask if I was OK. One neighbor made sure I knew there was food at the nearby fire hall, and that arrangements could be made for me to stay as a guest in someone’s home if I had nowhere to go.

Firefighters kept track of who was inside which house, and kept an eye on the slide area for signs of movement.

They were friendly and did a great job keeping people informed.

Prehistoric landslide complex, fault runs along Ledgewood

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The massive landslide in the community of Ledgewood south of Coupeville displaced 5.3 million square feet of earth and one house in a matter of moments in the early morning hours of March 27, according to the Washington state Department of Natural Resources.

That’s about 40,000 dump truck loads.

Geologists from the department visited the scene of the landslide this week to take initial stock of the cause and risks.

Joe Dragovich, a geologist with DNR, said experts won’t be able to do in-depth work at the site until the area stabilizes, which could be a matter of weeks or months. Geologists on the scene said they heard a tree crack and fall while they were looking around.

The four geologists, however, released a “Quick Report for the Ledgewood-Bonair Landslide” on Thursday.

The report states that the landslide ran 1,100 along the shoreline and jutted 300 feet into Puget Sound.

The beach was lifted up 30 feet above the shore.

Dragovich explained that it was a deepseated landslide, which basically means it originated from deep in the earth. The report states that the failure plane is likely below sea level, but the depth is currently unknown.

The reports states that the landslide area was a smaller portion of a much larger landslide complex. The entire landslide complex is 1.5 miles long and may date back as much as 11,000 years.

DNR geologist Michael Polenz identified the prehistoric landslide in 2005; it was published as part of a geologic map in 2009.

“Landslide activity” demolished a beachfront residence from 1996 to 1997, approximately 800 feet north of this week’s landslide.

Polenz’ work suggests that the sediment at the top of the slope consists of Ice Age seafloor sediment, till deposited by glacial ice and outwash.

The mid-slope sediment may include sediment from non-glacial times.

Dragovich said the sediments tend to be

slide CONTINUED FROM A1 on Fircrest Avenue were evacuated as sections of the bluff have continued to slough off through the morning.

By Wednesday evening some residents were allowed back into their homes. Others were not.

One resident, Bret Holmes, was losing more and more ground all morning Wednesday. Holmes said the first slide occurred just before 4 a.m. He was awaken by what some have described as a “sonic boom.”

“I heard something loud, looked out my window and noticed I didn’t have any trees in the front yard anymore,” he said.

Initially, his yard stretched more than 30 feet to the bluff’s edge.

The first slide took out a large portion but additional sloughing

poorly consolidated, which means instability.

“It’s basically just a pile of debris,” he said.

The report states that a portion of South Driftwood Way, the road taken out by the landslide, was moving from one to three feet each year from 2002 to 2009.

Dragovich said the cause of such deep-seated landslides isn’t completely clear. While the type of materials and steepness are obvious factors, it’s debatable whether groundwater or surface run-off can contribute.

Water can cause surface landslides, he said, but the evidence for deep-seated landslides is unclear.

Doug Kelly, an Island County hydrogeologist, said 2012 was the wettest year on record in Coupeville. The data for the Coupeville Station, just a few miles from the landslide, goes back to 1895.

Another intriguing piece of evidence, Dragovich said, is that a strand of the southern Whidbey Island fault runs across the landslide complex. He said the landslide wasn’t caused by an earthquake or movement of the fault, but there’s a possibility it could cut up through the sediments.

The report predicts that some sliding may continue. It states that “upland portions of the landslide body may remobilize to move the body into equilibrium” and that calving may occur as the near-vertical headscarf erodes.

The geologists conclude their report with advice for those who choose to return to their homes along the prehistoric landslide. The residents should watch for clues of an upcoming landslide, which may include any of the following: • Newly developing cracks, mounds, or bulging on streets, sidewalks, or the ground.

• Sagging or taut utility lines; leaning telephone poles, fences, or trees.

• Sticking windows or doors; new or growing cracks in walls, ceilings, or foundations.

• Broken or leaking underground or surface utilities, such as water lines.

• Separation of foundation from sill plates; movement of soil away from foundation.

• Changes in water well levels.

• Increase or changes in spring or seep activity; ground becoming soggy or wet.

has now left with him with about 15 feet.

“It’s still moving,” Hartin confirmed.

“Two (homes) are significantly threatened,” he added.

Smaller slides continued through the night and into Thursday.

Island County brought in geotechnical engineers to survey the area. Department of Natural Resources’ geologists released a report on the incident as well.

A Ledgewood water commissioner confirmed water in the area was shut off and county emergency management officials said the same had been done for the electricity.

Residents were gathering at the community hall and arrangements for temporary housing was made for those unable to go home.

Landslide highlights need for special insurance

By Bellingham Business Journal staff After the landslide on Whidbey Island, the Northwest Insurance Council issued a reminder to homeowners and business owners that standard homeowners and business-insurance policies specifically exclude damage caused by natural disasters such as landslides.

“This very unfortunate situation really highlights the need for special insurance if you own property above or below a steep slope,” said Karl Newman, the council’s president, in a press release.

“Property owners in high-risk areas need special coverage that is not included in a standard home or business insurance policy. The good news is that coverage is available through specialty carriers at an additional cost.”

The Northwest Insurance Council, a nonprofit organization funded by member insurance companies in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, has more information on disaster plans and special coverage for landslides available on its website.

Along with its reminders, the council

words, she characterized the damage as “enormous” and said she was “saddened” for Ledgewood residents.

“It’s a tragic loss for these property owners and this community,” Price Johnson said. “We just need to pull together.”

It’s unclear whether the damage can even be repaired. A huge section of Driftwood Way was completely destroyed and many of the homes along Fircrest are threatened by the unstable terrain.

Holmes’ house is one of those most threatened and he was busy this morning moving belongings to the garage, which is located behind the house. While he’s very worried about what will happen, he said he was grateful to have not been hurt in the disaster.

The day before the slide he had planned to mow the backyard with his tractor.

“For some reason I decided against it,” Holmes said. “Thank God.”

offered the following tips to those who own property in high-risk areas: • Create a family evacuation plan.

• Learn and recognize early landslide warning signs such as: doors or windows that stick or jam, new cracks in plaster, tile, bricks or foundations, broken underground utility lines and bulging ground at the base of a slope.

• Build retaining walls and install flexible pipe fitting to avoid gas or water leaks.

• Maintain a complete inventory of all your possessions, including photographs, receipts and serial numbers. The council offers free downloadable Home Inventory Software from the Insurance Information Institute.

• Damage to vehicles caused by landslide is covered if the owner has chosen optional comprehensive coverage in their auto policy.

• Personal contents inside a vehicle that are damaged by a landslide are covered under standard homeowners or renters insurance.

response CONTINUED FROM A1 unstable and no work can be done.

It is also unclear if Driftwood Way will have road access again.

Price Johnson said the county is looking at whether a road can be rebuilt in the slide zone.

There are several communities on the island that don’t have road access, she said.

Right now the idea is to gather as much information as possible.

“There’s an awful lot we don’t know,” she said. “It’s a very complex slide.”

One house that once sat on Driftwood Way is red-tagged as it was knocked off its foundation and sits on a lifted shoreline.

There are also still a handful of homes on Fircrest and Driftwood that are yellow-tagged, meaning residents may enter to retrieve

items, but cannot stay.

“It will be a few months before we even get a cost estimate,” Price Johnson said.

As the weekend is underway with nice weather forecasted, security is also being taken into consideration.

With all the media attention the slide has caused, officials said they are concerned people will come to the area curious to see the destruction.

“We’re urging people not to come,” Price Johnson said. “We’re trying to let this community get back to normal as quickly as possible.”

Many agencies have had a hand in assisting the Ledgewood community, including neighboring counties.

Price Johnson said Whatcom and Snohomish counties have provided assistance and volunteers have come from all over.

“I’m incredibly proud of this community,” she said. “And I’m so grateful no one was hurt.”

Easter is the natural time of year to ask about resurrection FAITHFUL LIVING

By JOAN BAY KLOPE

Sunday is Easter and I feel the anticipation in my heart growing. This is because I love everything about Easter, especially the hope, the music, and the celebration surrounding the message that there is life beyond what we know here.

This year I’m making minipies for dessert and I’ll spend part of Saturday creating the fillings family members have requested. As I work in the kitchen, I’ll consider what author Josh McDowell calls “the evidence that demands a verdict.” He is referring, of course, to the evidence that Jesus actually died and rose three days later.

There is nothing wrong with asking the tough questions and probably the first one to ask is this: Wonder if Jesus was only unconscious and later revived? This might have happened except for the fact that an official Roman soldier, tasked to observe the crucifixion (with the hope that the prevailing hysteria among the Jews could be brought to a “proper” end) reported to Pontius Pilate that Jesus was determined to have died upon the cross, beside two thieves crucified on either side of him. It was also reported that Jesus’ side had been pierced during the execution and when the deed was done, Jesus’ body had been claimed by Joseph of Arimathea and his friend Nicodemus, who customarily wrapped the body and placed it in a donated tomb.

Could the body have been lost or misplaced?

According to several accounts, found in various gospels and ancient writings, Mary Magdalene and Jesus’ mother watched as Joseph and Nicodemus entombed Jesus’ body. They knew of the tomb’s location and must have shared the information with disciples Peter and John, for both men arrived at the location as well without getting lost along the way.

Deeply understood customs about caring for bodies were important to them all and they would have tended to Jesus’ body.

Might Jesus’ body have been stolen? This could have occurred were it not for the Roman soldiers who diligently sealed and guarded the tomb. Losing the body would have placed their lives in jeopardy with their superiors. It would also empower Christ’s followers and further inflame an enormous population control problem for the Romans. If a Roman had been able to produce Jesus’ body once it was discovered missing, it would have quelled all rumors once and for all. No Roman would steal the body and certainly no follower would either, for in time Christ’s followers not only grew to span the globe, but countless voluntarily gave up personal comfort and their very lives for the right to tell the world that a relationship with Christ promises life everlasting.

Sunday, as I take my seat at our kitchen table and look into the faces of friends, my husband, our children and their significant others, I’ll rejoice. Christ is risen, indeed! His gifts of love, forgiveness, hope, and eternity are for my family and yours.

It’s time to rejoice!

Trina Desquitado shares a story about the regional Spelling Bee with her fifth grade teacher Lynn Brown at Broad View Elementary.

Broad View’s Busy Bee Fifth-grader wows competition by claiming regional Spelling Bee title

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Lynn Brown couldn’t stop beaming.

She’s witnessed a lot of proud moments in 25 years as an elementary school teacher.

Seeing little Trina Desquitado win a regional Spelling Bee ranked right up there.

“I was amazed,” Brown said. “She was so calm and collected.”

Desquitado entered the Skagit County Regional Spelling Bee competition in Burlington March 23 as the tiniest of the competitors.

The Oak Harbor fifthgrader left the stage standing the tallest as she won the competition to earn a trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in late May. Desquitado, a student in Brown’s class at Broad View Elementary School, was among the youngest of the 29 participants who were

Trina Desquitado, who recently turned 11, earned a paid trip to the National Spelling Bee to Washington, D.C., May 26-June 1. winners of their own school competitions in Skagit, Island and San Juan counties. Yet, the 11-year-old, who stands 4-foot-4, was not to be denied, claiming the top prize in a competition that involved students from fourth-to-eighth grade.

“My goal was to win it,” Desquitado said. “I wrote it on a piece of paper.”

Desquitado’s optimism rose after she won the school’s Spelling Bee in January. She didn’t take studying seriously at first, but that changed after she was given a 32-page

packet filled with 1,150 words to study for the regional competition.

A photo of the 2012 regional winner on one page got Desquitado’s attention the most, according to her mother, Badette Alarkon Desquitado.

“She told me, ‘Mom, I want to be a champion just like her.

I want to get that trophy,’” Badette said.

Badette wanted to encourage her daughter, but also wanted to protect her against disappointment.

Trina then wrote the words

“Goal: Win!” next to the photo, and an intensive twomonth family study session began.

Badette covered the inside of their home with spelling words written on legal-sized green sheets of paper. She taped the sheets together and group them by word origin.

“We’d have Latin on the dining room wall,” Badette said.

“Greek would be on the (cardboard) TV box in the living room. In the kitchen would be old English.”

There were 14 groups arranged by word origin with each offering clues and patterns on how to spell words.

“We wanted to have constant visualization,” Badette said.

“My mom told me, ‘Don’t spell it like it is in English,” Trina said.

Trina’s sisters, Therese and Tricia, who both attend Oak Harbor High School, also got into the act. They were no strangers to hard work and its rewards, both experiencing success in the Wildcats’ accomplished NJROTC and swimming programs.

Crescent Harbor scores rise Elementary is rewarded for improvement

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Staff and teachers at Crescent Harbor Elementary are celebrating their efforts improving test scores among their students.

State officials have taken notice too. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction named the school located near Oak Harbor a “Reward” school, which is given out to the top 10 percent of Title I schools in the state, which are schools that have high numbers of students from low-income families.

The teachers and staff met in the school’s library Monday afternoon to celebrate their work that was three years in the making.

“What’s dramatic about this is that it’s not just one year,” Superintendent Rick Schulte said to the staff.

Crescent Harbor Elementary received the award because its students have scored in

When Trina got to the big stage at Bay View Elementary in Burlington, she spelled her words correctly in all 20 rounds.

“She got up there, pulled the microphone down and with no hesitation, just spelled it,” Brown said.

“Others were searching to find the right spelling. Every time, she was like, ‘boom, boom, boom.’”

In the end, the competition came down to Trina and eighth-grader Tara Dobos of Orcas Island School.

Trina correctly spelled “oratorio,” while Dobos stumbled on the word “inane.”

That left Trina with a chance to win the whole thing by spelling one more word.

When Trina heard the word “mystique,” called out, she had to contain her excitement.

“I knew that one,” she said with a smile.

After spelling it correctly, Trina was the last one standing, earning a trip to the national Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. May 26-June 1.

Oak Harbor Middle School eighth grader Corbin Phipps finished third.

After winning, Trina remained on stage and thanked her mom.

“She said, ‘I would like to acknowledge my mom,’” Badette said. “She said, ‘Mom I used a big word.’

And she cried.”

Badette joined her daughter on stage and shed tears as well.

They wasted little time before calling Rex Desquitado, Trina’s dad who is in Saudi Arabia doing contract work for the military.

March has been a huge month for the Desquitados.

On March 16, Therese and Tricia helped Oak Harbor’s JROTC team win its first regional championship. A week later, Trina was regional Spelling Bee champ.

“I don’t want to flip the calendar,” Badette said.

She also doesn’t want to worry so much the next time her youngest daughter tries to tackle something that seems out of reach.

“I learned to never underestimate the dream of your child,” she said.

A Washington State Department of Transportation work crew examines every nook and cranny of the Deception Pass Bridge Monday. The crew was lowered in a basket connected to a boom truck in order to safely conduct the inspection, which is done every other year. Traffic on State Highway 20 over Deception Pass was delayed because one lane of the bridge was closed to allow for the inspections. The work on the Deception Pass bridge wrapped up Wednesday. Then, the work crews will move next week to the Canoe Pass bridge, which is the smaller of the two bridges spanning the water.

Game of the week

Saturday, March 30, 2013 • Whidbey News-Times

Stanwood snaps ’Cats 3-match win streak Sports editor

“It’s nice to win one on the old stomping grounds,” said Oak Harbor graduate Kyle Veach.

Unfortunately for his alma mater, Veach is now coach of the Stanwood High School soccer team that edged the Wildcats 1-0 Tuesday at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Colin Cuchna scored the game’s only goal with just over three minutes left in the first half when an Oak Harbor player misdirected a header toward the Spartan goal.

Wildcat coach Brian Thompson said, “It is about as close to an own goal as you can get without actually hitting it in.”

Oak Harbor played well early but couldn’t connect, according to Thompson.

“We were beating them on the outside,” he said, “and Stanwood had to adjust.”

The game was as even

OHHS softball team rallies for 13-10 win

as the score for most of the night, but when Oak Harbor needed to pick up its offense late, it was Stanwood that threatened.

Wildcat keeper Kevin Silveira was forced to make five saves in the final six minutes. Silveira finished with 11 saves; the Spartans (2-0, 3-0-2) had 16 shots to Oak Harbor’s 12.

The Wildcats came close to tying the match in the 76th minute when Alex Krantz just missed. His shot skipped off the crossbar and thumped the football goal post.

Thompson said, “I’m really happy with the game, it just went the other way.

We played a tactically better game than the past two.”

The loss snapped Oak Harbor’s three-match winning streak.

Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times The Wildcats (2-1, 3-2) go to Marysville-Pilchuck Dakota Powers goes on the attack for Oak Harbor against (1-0-1, 2-1-2) at 7:30 p.m. Stanwood Tuesday. The Spartans, coached by Oak Harbor graduate Kyle Veach, slipped by the Wildcats 1-0.

Monday.

prep roundup ‘Cat golfers finish 4th Oak Harbor boys golf team placed fourth in the five-team Wesco North match at Whidbey Golf and Country Club Tuesday.

Team scores: Everett 415, Stanwood 423, Marysville Getchell 444, Oak Harbor 449, MarysvillePilchuck 457.

Oak Harbor scores: Raiden Poe 86, Jerin Applegarth 86, Mac Kerfoot 88, Hunter Adams 94, Steven Timm 95, Caleb Knaack 96.

The Wildcats are off until Wednesday, April 10, when they join the Wesco North schools at 2 p.m. at Stanwood’s Kayak Point Golf Course.

Baseball team loses 2 The first game was close, the second not, as Marysville-Pilchuck tripped up the Oak Harbor baseball team twice this week.

The Tomahawks (3-1, 4-1) won 4-2 in extra innings in Oak Harbor Tuesday, then dumped the Wildcats 11-1 in five innings in Marysville Wednesday.

Errors and some bad luck stung Oak Harbor Tuesday. In the top of the eighth, Kyle Nobach’s hit to left field took an unusual hop and skipped over the head of Cory Cameron, resulting in a triple. The next batter hit a liner to left that escaped a valiant diving effort by Cameron for a double; he later scored on an error.

Jack Richter had two hits, including a double. Brent Mertins, Snavely and David Kusnick singled.

There was no drama in Wednesday’s game as the Tomahawks scored nine runs over the first three innings.

Oak Harbor managed only singles by Clay Doughty and Kusnick.

The Wildcats return home Thursday, April 11, for a 3 p.m. match with Kamiak.

Good ‘D’ carries CHS Behind an error-free defense and clutch pitching, the Coupeville baseball team won 5-2 at South Whidbey Wednesday.

Ben Etzell threw a complete game, striking out seven and giving up seven hits. His one hiccup came

in the third when South Whidbey scored both of its runs. Key plays by his defense helped stop other budding rallies.

It took awhile for the Coupeville offense to get going but the Wolves took the lead with three runs in the fifth. After RBI singles

by Etzell and Payne, Kurtis Smith drove home the go-ahead run on a fielder’s choice.

In the sixth, Etzell hit a ball in the hole with runners at second and third. The infield hit not only scored Korban Korzan from third, but Jake Tumblin raced home from second on the throw to first.

Etzell, besides getting the pitching win, ripped three hits for three RBI. Payne was 2-for-3 with an RBI, and Tumblin scored two runs and had two stolen bases.

Miscues sink Wolves Mental mistakes proved costly to the Coupeville softball team as it lost 8-1 at Granite Falls Wednesday.

The Wolves had three runners doubled off, thwarting would-be rallies.

Defense was a mixed bag.

Coupeville committed no physical errors, but decision making was suspect.

Co-coach David King said his team wasn’t “throwing to the correct base to get the lead runner or throwing to the proper base on a hit to the outfield.”

Coupeville’s lone run came in the seventh. Hailey Hammer led off with a single and moved to second on a passed ball. With one out, Haley Sherman singled Ham-

In its first two games on its new field, the Oak Harbor softball team mounted spirited comebacks, but both times the games slipped away late.

The third time was the charm as the Wildcats outslugged Marysville Getchell 13-10 Wednesday.

Oak Harbor came back three times in the game, the last with a six-run sixth that sewed up the win.

The Wildcats led 7-6 after five innings, then the Chargers put up a four-spot in the sixth to lead 10-7.

Oak Harbor used a little bit of everything to complete the game-winning rally.

After an out, Lexie Findley lined the ball over the center fielder’s head for a triple.

She scored on Natalie Fiallos’ infield hit. Shawna Steele followed with a triple down the left field line. Steele then

scored when she beat the throw home on Emily Saar’s fielder’s choice.

Morgan Young hit the ball in the hole, and the shortstop’s throw to second to force Saar was late. After a strikeout, Oak Harbor took the lead on a goofy play that scored three runs.

Kelsey Rankin beat out a nubber fielded by the MG pitcher. The late throw sailed over the first baseman’s head into the right field corner allowing Saar and Young to score and Rankin to circle the bases.

Findley (two triples), Fiallos (three runs) and Steele (double, triple, four RBI) each finished with three hits; Rankin added two.

Coach Jess Boswell said, “We played a good game today. The girls came out answering Getchell’s two runs with four, and continued to answer throughout the game. We battled, took advantage when we could and came through.”

mer home.

McKayla Bailey rapped two hits, including a double. Madeline Strasburg also doubled. Madi Roberts, Hammer, Sherman and Sydney Aparicio all singled.

Leftfielder Sherman sparkled on defense with two outstanding catches, King said.

Christina Wicker won twice for the girls (800, 2:28.08; 1,600, 5:18.85). Alex Laiblin (3,200, 11:44.73) and Taylor Deconzo (javelin, 95-04) snared other firsts.

Meadowdale and Marysville Getchell come to Oak Harbor at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 11.

After 4-0 start, Wolves drop 2

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

After blanking visiting Archbishop Murphy 5-0 Tuesday for its fourth consecutive win, the Coupeville High School tennis team ran into trouble Wednesday and Thursday, losing to visiting South Whidbey and Blaine 5-0.

The Wolves steamrolled their first four foes this spring, surrendering only one point along the way.

South Whidbey (5-0) and Blaine (3-2) proved to be different animals.

Coupeville coach Ken Stange said Friday morning, “The girls were pretty down about yesterday. I think egos got inflated after going 4-0 against lesser competition.

We have to regroup after break.”

Not all was negative in the losses. Stange said Micky LeVine and Jacki Ginnings (playing in her first varsity match), “played their hearts out” and won a set against the Falcons.

Against Blaine, Stange said, “Amanda (d’Almeida) and Allie (Hanigan) showed

Coupeville tumbles to South Whidbey Stretches of strong play were not enough as the Coupeville High School soccer team lost 2-0 to South Whidbey Tuesday at Mickey Clark Field.

The Wolves played well at the beginning of the match, coach Paul Mendes said, but couldn’t convert during the promising start.

He said, “Our boys were up for the big game, and we came out strong. We started well with some good ball possession at midfield.”

He added, “Unfortunately we did not convert our scoring opportunities, and South Whidbey did.”

Bryce Auburn and Steve Lyons scored for the Falcons; Connor McCauley assisted on both goals.

some spunk at singles. Allie even built a lead in the second set, but she couldn’t hold on.”

Coupeville (4-2) is off until 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, when it goes to Granite Falls (1-4). The next home match is at 3:30 Friday, April 12, with Lakewood (0-2).

My favorite childhood memory: Building forts with my younger brother anywhere and everywhere outside.

I joined the military because: I wanted to get out of Colorado and travel, and I liked the idea of wearing a uniform.

My most memorable moment in the military: It would have to be Navy boot camp. The memories, friends I made and repetitious tasks are something I will never forget as I started my Navy career.

The best thing about being in the military: I have a steady pay check to help provide for my family and I have been able to see several different countries I may not have been able to see otherwise.
