Oak Harbor schools chief takes position in Richland

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Rick Schulte knew a call might be coming that could change his life.

But not out of a car window.

“Good luck in Richland!” shouted a passerby.

Schulte could enjoy a laugh from that light moment while he was jogging Saturday morning.

But things turned more serious by Monday Rick afternoon when the schulte real call came into his Oak Harbor office from Richland School District.

He was informed that he was that district’s No. 1 choice for its new superintendent post.

VAQ-133 returns to island after 8-month deployment

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Erica Burfield tried to brace herself for all possible scenarios.

Her daughter Paige was barely 2 the last time she saw her. Now, she was fast approaching 3 and literally fast approaching on the flight line.

“Did you miss Mommy?” Burfield asked.

Eight months of separation ended Sunday afternoon with the reunion of a little girl and her mother at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

It was a scene that played out over and over Sunday and Monday as the Electronic Attack Squadron 133 “Wizards” arrived home from an eight-month combat deployment aboard the USS John C. Stennis.

Burfield, a Lt. Cmdr., lit up as she held her daughter for the first time since Sept. 1. No phone call or video message could replace the feel of her daughter softly touching her face.

“She’s not a baby anymore,” Burfield said.

“She’s definitely a little girl. I was happy that she knew who I was because I’ve heard a lot of stories that when they’re so young and you’re gone for so long, that they can be a little hesitant at first, or maybe a little apprehensive. Kind of like, ‘Who are you?’ There are planes, it’s loud, it’s scary. But no, she ran right over.”

Burfield was one of 12 aviators aboard three EA-6B Prowlers from VAQ-133 that touched down around noon Sunday as their families eagerly awaited. A fourth aircraft with four more aviators had their homecoming postponed until Monday due to a mechanical problem with the plane.

Sunday’s fly-in was followed by an airlift carrying 175 squadron maintenance and support personnel on Monday night.

The deployment originally was scheduled to be for four months beginning in January, but it doubled in length after the Wizards deployed See RETURN, A11

Judge rules Lambert is competent to stand trial

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A judge ruled Friday that an accused double-murderer is competent to stand trial, but it’s up to a jury to decide if he was legally insane when he allegedly stabbed his grandfathers to death in 2011.

Joshua Lambert, 31, of Oak Harbor, is acting as his attorney and has had some unusual legal strategies, which will likely result in an unusual trial in July.

Lambert called Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks “retarded” during a recent brief on the competency issue.

During a hearing Friday, Lambert also said Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill was “dumber than a box of rocks.”

Lambert claims he is not competent to stand trial because he “can not rationally advise or assist counsel,” but at the same time he argues that he should be able to act as his own counsel, according to his “selfreport.”

“My incompetence and the specific symptoms thereof are completely irrelevant to ‘pro se’ competence,” he wrote.

Lambert is accused of stabbing to death his pater-

nal grandfather, George Lambert, tying up his great aunt, Kay Gage, and then stabbing to death his maternal grandfather, August Eugene “Sonny” Eisner, on Oct. 3, 2011.

His grandfathers were both 80 years old and lived in separate residences on North Whidbey.

Lambert is asserting an insanity defense. His selfappointed mental-health expert concluded that Lambert suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and was legally insane at the time of the murders.

Doctors at Western State Hospital, however, determined that Lambert’s delu-

In a recent legal maneuver, Lambert argued that he is incompetent to stand trial, which means he doesn’t have a factual and rational understanding of the charges and court proceedings,

and further, that he is unable to assist his attorney in his defense.

According to his court filings, Lambert claims that he hears the prosecutor’s and the judge’s voice in his head, that he believes the purpose of the hearings are to give him “encoded and symbolic orders to kill,” and that the voices in his head make it difficult for him to comprehend what’s happening.

Banks argued that Lambert can stand trial. He cited an evaluation by a psy-

chologist at Western State Hospital who concluded Lambert is legally competent. “(Lambert) argued vociferously that the judge and the doctors were applying the wrong standard to him,” Banks said Monday.

“He says he may be smart and capable of representing himself, but because of his delusions, he does not have the ‘rational understanding’ to be tried for a crime.

“It’s a strange argument, needless to say.

“He was arguing that he knows more than the doctors who evaluated him, and therefore, he was not mentally competent to stand trial.”

On Friday, Judge Churchill agreed with Banks and ruled that Lambert is competent, which means the trial can proceed.

If Lambert had been found incompetent, he would have been committed to Western State Hospital until his competency was restored. Then he would go on trial.

Judge sides with county on OH UGA lawsuit WEAN hails environmental victory over UGA ruling, says decision saves Swan Lake

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Island County prevailed again in litigation over the city of Oak Harbor’s efforts to expand its eastern boundaries.

In an opinion released Monday, a Thurston County judge rejected the city’s appeal of the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board’s 2011 decision upholding the county’s adoption of the urban growth area update.

The judge’s decision ends an eight-year saga that began after city leaders concluded they needed to expand the city’s urban growth area, known as the UGA, by 180 acres to accommodate 20 years of growth.

The UGA is land adjacent to city limits which is earmarked for annexation.

The county commissioners, who have ultimate authority over the shape of UGAs, delayed a decision for years and then surprised city leaders in 2011 by refusing the expansion request beyond an 18-acre commercial parcel.

City of Oak Harbor officials appealed to the Growth Management Hearings Board and lost, then appealed to the superior court, and again lost on all issues.

Washington Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, which argued in support of

the county’s position in court, hailed Monday’s decision as an environmental victory that protects the fragile Swan Lake coastal lagoon from urbanization.

“Expansion of the Oak Harbor UGA would be bad for Swan Lake, bad for the environment, and bad for the taxpayers,” said WEAN spokesman Steve Erickson.

“The last thing Oak Harbor needs is more lowdensity urban sprawl,” “It’s time for the city to grow up, not out.”

The opinion may put on hold city leaders’ plans to expand residential areas into the county, including bringing historic Fakkema farm into city limits.

Both city and county planners are already beginning the 2016 comprehensive plan update, which will give the city another shot at the issue.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley and Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson were on opposite sides of the lawsuit — and neither was in office when the controversy began — but both agree the process will go smoother this time around with better communication between planning departments.

“The process could have been handled better,” Johnson said.

“We’re taking lessons from

Whidbey News-Times file photo

WEAN spokesman Steve Erickson spoke out on the issue between City of Oak Harbor and Island County, saying expansion of the UGA would be bad for the environment and Swan Lake. the past so we don’t have a repeat of what happened.”

Dudley said he is disappointed by the ruling. He went to the April 19 hearing before Thurston County Judge Erik Price and said afterward that he was optimistic that the judge would rule in the city’s favor.

On Tuesday, Dudley noted the judge acknowledged problems with communication between the county and city.

“The process is already a lot different,” he said. “We look forward to working with the county this time around.”

The underlying issue is whether the city should expand. The city’s proposal would have allowed for 400 new homes.

Oak Harbor City Council approved the expansion of the UGA during the 2005 update and sent it on to the county for a decision.

The main rationale behind the proposed expansion was to accommodate growth in the city over 20 years.

Members of the county Planning Commission said they believed that more room for homes would bring

2013

more affordable housing to the area.

City planning staff’s landuse analysis found that the city’s current UGA could accommodate the city’s projected 2025 population, plus an additional 6 percent.

The proposed UGA expansion would grow that capacity to 126 percent, the staff estimated.

Island County planners initially issued “a mitigated determination of nonsignificance” for the UGA appeal, finding that it wouldn’t harm the environment as long as

certain conditions were met.

The county later withdrew the determination after the city and a couple of environmental groups appealed.

The issue lingered unresolved for years until city officials pushed county officials to take action in 2011.

The commissioners approved only the 18-acre expansion, concluding that city planners underestimated the amount of residential land already in the city and found there was no need for additional residentially zoned land.

Burglary suspect in custody A 25-year-old South Whidbey burglary suspect was taken into custody Monday.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown asked for the community’s help last week in locating Robert Dean Burns, who was being sought on warrants out of Island County, Oak Harbor

and Renton.

Burns is also a suspect in a felony burglary case in the Scatchet Head neighborhood of South Whidbey, according to Brown.

That burglary involved the theft of firearms.

Burns was living in the Scatchet Head neighborhood, the sheriff said.

Ferry fares increase in May Motorists riding Washington State Ferries will see higher fares starting May 1.

Washington State Ferries will start charging peak season fares starting Wednesday, which means a 25 percent surcharge for full fare vehicle/driver and 35 percent on the San Juan Islands routes.

A motorist sailing from Coupeville to Port Townsend will pay $12.70 for a standard vehicle, which is up from $10.20.

A motorist sailing from Clinton to Mukilteo will pay $9.75 for a standard vehicle, which is up from $7.85.

The rates for peak season remain unchanged from 2012 and they will be in effect until Sept. 30. The surcharge helps pay for increased operational costs that comes with larger volumes of traffic during the busy summer season.

Jail’s aging HVAC may be replaced New system will cost $1.4 million

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

At a cost of $1.4 million, an antiquated climate-control system and lighting at the Island County Jail may soon be replaced.

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC system, is the building’s original, installed in 1984 when the jail and new Island County courthouse building was first constructed.

The HVAC system is so old that repairs are expensive and often difficult to achieve, according to Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works.

“It’s in bad shape. ... They’re starting to not be able to get parts for the machinery.”

County officials have looked at ways to pay for the new system for some time and Oakes provided the Island County Commissioners with an update during a work session earlier this month.

The county qualifies for a state Department of Commerce grant —

about $367,000 — but the bulk of the tab, more than $1 million, must come from county coffers, he said.

About $495,000 can be covered with real estate excise tax, or REET, money and about $74,000 can come from public works funds.

That leaves approximately $477,000 to fund, he said.

Ameresco, an international energy management firm with offices in Renton, worked with the county to identify potential energy savings with the new system and qualify for the state grant.

It is also helping the county with a potential low-interest loan offered through the Office of the State Treasurer.

Oakes said a 15-year loan would cover the remaining $477,000.

There was some discussion about borrowing the money through the REET fund, but a county policy prohibits the debt ratio from exceeding 50 percent of the existing revenue.

Budget Director Elaine Marlow said a future loan combined with existing debt would put the county over the threshold.

To remain in compliance with the policy, the board will have to borrow through the county’s current expense fund.

The good news, however, is that the annual energy savings achieved with the new system — about $54,000 — would more than cover the expected $34,000 yearly loan payment.

“It should be budget neutral for you,” Marlow said.

Part of those energy savings will come from lighting improvements planned for the jail and a county road shop.

The board made no decisions during Wednesday’s meeting, opting to discuss the matter further.

There is time as the loan application deadline is not until June, Oakes said, but added he hopes to begin work on the replacement system and lighting upgrades by late summer or early fall.

Jail Administrator De Dennis said the project will require some musical chairs of prisoners but that it should not be too disruptive.

Most will just be happy to have the cranky, old system replaced because it’s “either too hot, too cold or has bad airflow,” he said.

The project is expensive, but it’s also needed, he said.

“We’re an old jail and things start breaking after a while.”

Kwarsick’s contract with town extended

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Larry Kwarsick will get another month working as a special planning consultant for Coupeville.

On Tuesday, the Town Council supported a recommendation by Mayor Nancy Conard to extend Kwarsick’s contract 30 days, until May 31.

The council vote was unanimous, according to Town Councilman Bob Clay, who also serves as mayor pro tem.

During an interview after the meeting, Clay said the council agreed to extend Kwarsick’s contract for a couple of reasons.

First and foremost, Conard has not yet hired a replacement, and Kwarsick’s threemonth contract has expired with no one to fill his shoes.

Second, Coupeville is seeing a small bump in development and a planner is needed.

“There is still work that needs to be done,” Clay said.

“But we all agreed there is a

Lavender & Herbs for Mom’s Garden 25% off lavender and herb plants.

finite end to all of this.”

Conard is in the process of interviewing applicants for the job and said she expects to have a permanent replacement for Kwarsick by the end of the month. She asked for an extension because it’s unclear when that person will report for work.

Kwarsick is the longtime former town planner and, until recently, was also the mayor of Langley.

All that came to an end in December when Kwarsick pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor malfeasance in Island

County Superior Court.

Kwarsick admitted to altering the conditions of a permit for a family members home in 2011 while working as Langley’s planning head.

He resigned as mayor and asked the Town Council to end his contract as town planner.

The council agreed, but subsequently hired him as a special consultant — at a rate of $50 an hour — while a replacement was sought.

That contract had a sunset of 90 days and ended in March.

City considering food at marina, alcohol in parks

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Food trucks at the marina.

Peddlers and musicians in the parks.

Paddle board and paddleboat rentals on the beach.

More room for beer gardens.

Oak Harbor officials tossed around ideas for jazzing up public spaces during a City Council workshop Wednesday; ultimately, they were united behind a series

of specific proposals.

Councilwoman Tara Hizon and staff members at the Oak Harbor Marina separately proposed ways to encourage more outdoor fun and commerce within the city.

Harbormaster Chris Sublet said he’s planning to bring at least one food concession stand to the marina.

There’s a good spot, within reach of extension cords, near the entrance to the

marina, he said.

Sublet said he also hopes to locate a company to rent equipment for water recreation.

Sublet said he has already asked for proposals from prospective concessionaires and rental companies and hopes to return to the council with contracts by early June.

“We’re taking the marina to the next level and getting people who don’t have boats involved in the facility,”

Sublet said.

Hizon didn’t attend the meeting, but City Administrator Larry Cort presented her ideas.

Currently, city code doesn’t allow for street performers, except in conjunction with special events, and alcohol is banned from city parks.

Hizon proposes to change that.

She suggested a yearly, flat-fee permit for perform-

ers and vendors.

She also proposes easing restrictions on alcohol in city parks.

Several council members spoke in favor of the idea, saying that beer gardens or wine tasting areas can add to special events.

Councilwoman Beth Munns said she was at an Association of Washington Cities event where alcohol was served in a city park and there were no prob-

lems.

Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said he supports the idea of allowing service of alcohol in parks.

Green explained that it’s easier for police officers to enforce the rules when drinking occurs on public property.

Cort said he will forward Hizon’s ideas to the city’s parks board for review before they are brought to the council for consideration.

Looking forward to getting back to market routine publisher’s column

By Keven R. Graves

‘Tis the season for fresh produce, homemade breads, jams, candles, soaps, artwork and other great things local.

Whidbey Island has a bounty of farmers markets to explore and enjoy.

I recently visited the Coupeville Farmers Market. Located in the open field behind the Coupeville library, it was nice to see a variety of booths — even better to see a steady stream of people coming and going.

The Coupeville Farmers Market, which operates 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, is in its 35th year.

My first introduction to island farmers markets was years ago after Oak Harbor launched its own in a field adjacent to the chamber office.

Nearly every week, on my way home from work, I went to the market, which was modest at the time, but always fun. Going from stand to stand, I would buy small potatoes, onions, yellow squash and zucchini. That night, I would combine and saute everything in garlic and butter.

Super simple, super delicious.

That was a routine I missed after I left the island 13 years ago. Shopping the local farmers markets was among the things I looked forward to doing again after returning here.

The Oak Harbor Public Market, which is still located adjacent to the chamber off of State Highway 20, operates 4 p.m. through 7 p.m. Thursdays from June through September. I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s evolved.

I was never a person who worried about organic versus nonorganic, but as you hear more about genetic modification of our food, read labels that list ingredients that belong in a lab and not on our tables, I’ve become increasingly conscientious about what I buy.

Salmon, corn, potatoes and squash are all among the top 10 most genetically-modified foods, according to www.discovery.com Being a former commercial fisherman, I will not eat farmed salmon. And while I understand the growing challenges farmers face to maximize their crop yields, I don’t want my fruit and vegetables to contain foreign genes.

Most of the vegetables and produce sold in the United States come from large, industrial farms.

By supporting farmers market, however, you are supporting local products grown by local people. You can ask them if their food is free of genetic modifications, which chances are it is. Plus, locally grown has the added bonus of tasting better. n Keven R. Graves is executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey News-Times. Email him at kgraves@whidbeynews group.com

Letters to the editor Tribe

Can’t afford to support tribe that’s suing city Editor, To the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community: I have lived in Oak Harbor for more than 25 years and have frequented your bingo/gambling/dining establishment for all those years as well.

When our children were little we would get a babysitter and come to your Swinomish Casino and have a quiet dinner, followed by a bingo session.

When our children were old enough they used to have a children’s night at Swinomish and we would take them with us.

Today, those children are in their late 20s, and they go to your casino without mom and dad.

Over the years we have had many family dinners at your facility and whenever we have company from out of town we often go as well.

The reason for my letter is that I read in our local newpaper, the Whidbey

News-Times, that you are suing us — Oak Harbor — for $9 million.

The reason is for “desecration of a burial ground.”

I want you to know that neither me, my family nor my extended family or friends knew there was a burial ground.

We are very sorry for the “damages” caused. We also had no control over the project that caused the trouble in the first place.

We are wondering why the Swinomish Tribe did not stop the project before it ever broke ground and long before it came to the point of suing our small community.

As usual, the people who live here, work hard and had no control over this event will end up paying for it.

With that in mind, we all want to say that, after working hard for all these years, we all enjoyed coming to the Swinomish to relax just a little.

Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to support an establishment that is suing us for $9 million.

We just can’t afford to, but thank you for the memories.

Rewarding

Volunteering at WAIF is a valuable experience Editor, I’m writing to the town of Coupeville to encourage young and older people to volunteer at WAIF Animal Shelter.

The animals need the most love and care they can get due to no home, the employees can only do so much — the more help the better.

I volunteer there and the staff is so nice and welcoming, they teach you what to do step by step for the best of the animals.

For example, they show you how to get in an out of the dogs’ kennels before and after you secure their leashes and that you need to put a sign on the dogs kennel letting people know that the is already being walked.

For cats, they teach you how to clean cages and litter boxes with specific cleaning tools, some cats have diets so there’s different foods to give them.

I hope this letter can get you up and See letters, A7

Port of Coupeville

Port commissioners should repay funds Editor, Port of Coupeville Commissioners Marshall Bronson and Benye Weber should repay the public funds that were spent and wasted as a result of the false statements they made at the port’s Feb. 13 public meeting.

Their statements described my unattended review of public records at the port’s office as “illegal” and “unethical.”

After being threatened with legal action, both commissioners finally admitted my review of public records was not improper and was conducted with permission.

It is one thing to make an honest mistake, but taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for the reckless actions of public officials.

Before he made his accusations, I informed Bronson that I had permission from the port’s executive director to review the records.

Executive Director Jim Patton gave me permission and has also stated that he discussed the matter with Weber before she made her accusations.

It is only fair that the two commissioners repay taxpayers the amount of public funds spent on attorney’s fees and the amount paid to Patton, at $50 an hour, for his time on the issue.

This money could go toward the port’s legitimate needs, like the maintenance of Coupeville Wharf where paint is peeling down to bare wood.

I am told the commissioners will not disclose the amount of money paid to the port’s retained attorney for his attention to this matter.

I believe the public has a right to know and have it returned.

Rick Abraham Greenbank

Blankenship is a loss to board of commissioners Editor, I was so sorry to see the resignation of Laura Blankenship from the Port of Coupeville. For there to be a subtle insinuation of negative motives shows only that you don’t really know Laura.

She is a natural administrator.

She has an “eye.” She can walk in and instantly see where the waste is, the loss of efficiency, the unnecessary expense, and how to improve and make successful any enterprise she becomes a part of.

She is unflinchingly honest. She

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

gives much more than is required when she commits to do a job: her brilliance, her wisdom, too much of her energy, and all of heart.

Wherever she has worked, I’ve thought we are so lucky to have her.

She could be running a government somewhere, or fixing a troubled corporation.

The port has lost a valuable asset.

Environment

Guest editorial falls flat on proving cited facts Editor, Exposing ironies indeed. Todd Meyers wrote a guest editorial on April 17 that I found quite bizarre.

Initially I thought it was just another laissez-faire, free market, invisible hand, Koch Brothers funded effort worshipping at the feet of Adam Smith.

But, as it turns out I was right.

Though a voluminous diatribe there is not one article, one quote or reference given to support his version of recent economic environmental history.

He claims the free market has our best interests at hand.

Huh? Does he really believe we’ve already forgotten the economic bubble of 2008 was brought on by the deregulation of Wall Street and lack of Glass-Spiegel?

He claims to be “one of the nations leading experts on free market environmental policy” yet seems to have forgotten the Clean Air and Water acts of the Nixon era were a response to, among other gifts of the free market, the flaming Cuyahoga River in Ohio and the killing smogs of Los Angels. Hmmm?

Then I got to his credentials: “director” of the undefined “WPC.” It is a basic rule of writing to use acronyms only after you define them.

His “landmark” book had a curiously zany title, “Eco-Fad: How the Rise of Environmentalism Is Harming The Environment.”

The book exists, but is self-published by the WPC. In the introduction he lavishes praise on Bjorn Lomborg, PHD, Political Science.

Dr Lumborg’s first book, The Environmental Skeptic created quite a stir.

This is what the Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty said about it, “The publication is deemed contrary to the standards of good scientific practice.”

They cited it for: “Fabrication of data; selective discarding of unwanted results (selective citation); deliberately misleading use of statistical methods; plagiarism; and deliberate misrepresentation of others’ results.”

Birds of a feather? Bjorn is often quoted by syndicated columnist George Will.

He says he is a “designated” Wall Street Journal “panelist.”

Huh? I know what a designated batter is

and what a panelist is, but I’ve never seen or heard of them combined.

Good job

Paper delivery carriers are vital to process Editor, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about people who you, as readers, rarely see or even come in contact with. But they are every bit as important to the production of this newspaper as anyone.

Those are your newspaper delivery people. Often, they are a blur in the night. Delivering your paper while you sleep. Delivering in all kinds of weather and the occasional deer crossing the road.

While I might be biased, I feel we have some of the best carriers in the Northwest.

I came to this position four months ago not knowing much about the circulation world. My own resume consisted of years as a Navy journalist and a number of years working in civilian security management.

To top that off, I lived on the island for only six months, so I had a lot to learn about the process of delivering our product. What made it less stressful was the abilities of the carriers that were here.

Of course, I had to hire some new carriers for certain routes and we had to make significant changes to other routes. But for the most part, the carriers have stuck it out and persevered. In fact, most of the time the carriers (or I) get any feedback from the public is when their papers are not delivered.

That is why I wanted to praise the fine carriers we have here on the island.

There is Will on the south side.

He delivers to over 700 homes a night, taking him almost eight hours at a time and hardly ever a complaint. There is James and Ashlee, who drive from their home in Oak Harbor, to deliver to residents in Langley.

There is Elaine, a carrier who services part of Coupeville and Greenbank. She just came aboard two months ago but on her own initiative restructured her route and saved this company hundreds of dollars. There’s the young man in Oak Harbor named Noah, age 13, who, along with his parents, gets up in the middle of the night to make sure that his area residents get their paper with their morning coffee. These are just a few of the people who deliver newspapers on the island. I wanted to thank rest of them by name: Whidbey NewsTimes: Alia, Paula, Sonia, Thomas, Chris, Robert, Cierra, Christine, Jason, Justin, Christa, Rosie, Tina, Jayne, John and Belinda; South Whidbey Record: Don and Brian.

And of course, Cheryl, who delivers The Examiner.

Next time you get a chance, give them a thanks. They deserve it.

Bailey sponsoring a bill that would take society backwards Sound off Last November, Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, was elected to Washington Senate District 10, Anderson representing all of Island and parts of Snohomish and Skagit counties.

She carried a hair under 53 percent of the vote while ousting long-time Democratic Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen.

In that same election, Referendum 74 regarding samesex marriage was approved in Island County by a hair under 53 percent of the vote.

It was also approved in Snohomish County by a hair under 53 percent and by just over 50 percent in Skagit County as it was passing statewide.

Fast forward to early March.

Two men in Richland start planning their now-legal wedding and ask the friendly florist they’ve patronized for nine years to do the flower arrangements.

She refuses politely, citing her Christian opposition to same-sex marriage.

All hell breaks loose, so to speak, on social media.

Fast forward to April 10. State Attorney Gen. Bob Ferguson files a consumer protection lawsuit against the florist, citing state’s Consumer Protection Act, which makes it unlawful to discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation, as well as gender, race, religion or disability.

Fast forward to April 25. Sen. Bailey and 10 other Republican state senators — but only Bailey from the Puget Sound area — propose a law that would give businesses the right to deny services or goods to any customer if they felt doing so was contrary to their “sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs or matters of conscience.”

The proponents quickly note that the bill would not change the law regarding discrimination based on gender, race, religion or disability.

It is targeted only at gays and

lesbians.

Bailey and her other co-sponsors are terribly wrong-headed with this backward-looking, falsely labeled effort to protect “religious freedom.”

Not long ago, “religious freedom” inspired racial segregation and Jim Crow laws across the South.

Scriptural references to a “woman’s place” were long used to deny women equal opportunities in business — and politics.

People with disabilities, sometimes called “demons” in Scripture, were often excluded from almost everything.

Even more insidious in this new proposal would be the permission it grants to discriminate based on “philosophical beliefs and matters of conscience.”

Does this mean a business may refuse service to someone who supported the “wrong” side of a political issue?

Would it be legal to discriminate against a hunter if a business owner’s conscience abhors killing deers and ducks?

Might a business owner refuse service to a women because he’s philosophically opposed to females in pants?

This can of worms needs to be quickly closed and thrown in the trash heap, where it belongs.

Our state has grown ever more tolerant in recent times, and rightly so.

The days of discrimination based on dogma are gone.

Religious freedom gives us the right to worship as we please and to associate with whomever we wish.

But that freedom should stop at the cash register.

If a business owner offers his or her service to the public, it should be available to all — no exceptions, regardless of the owner’s personal feelings about a customer’s sexual orientation.

To go backward now, after the hard-fought gains of recent years for women, minorities and gay people, would be tragic and just plain wrong.

Shame on Sen. Barbara Bailey for co-sponsoring this narrow-minded throwback to the bad old days. n Harry Anderson is a resident of Coupeville.

Legislation CONTINUED FROM A1 votes and has been forwarded to Gov. Jay Inslee to sign into law.

“It’s nice to know they are making progress and doing something about the problem,” said Ian Jefferds, owner of Penn Cove Shellfish.

The mussel farm, which operates just west of Coupeville Wharf, was among those most affected by the sinking of the Deep Sea last year.

The 140-foot crab boat caught fire and went down

just outside the farm’s mussel rafts, spilling thousands of gallons of diesel fuel into Penn Cove.

The old boat was illegally moored for months. State and federal efforts to contain the spill, raise and dispose of the vessel would cost taxpayers $5.4 million.

According to Melissa Ferris, chief of the state Department of Natural Resources’s Derelict Vessel Removal Program, the state is aware of about 165 prob-

OBITUARY Dora Jean Sproull

Dora Jean Sproull passed gently on the morning of April 26th at home with her husband Bruce in Oak Harbor. She joined her daughter Bonnie Kay and her son Geoff who preceded her on their journey.

Dora was born in August 24th, 1929 in Wenatchee, Washington, the daughter of Lawrence and Martha Brubaker Hurt. She grew up in Seattle, attending Franklin High School with her sister Marie. She moved to California to attend Art Center in Los Angeles and it was there she met her husband Bruce Sproull in 1948. They were married on October 21, 1949 in Montebello, Calif.

Dora and Bruce had two children, Bonnie and Geoff.

They lived many places as her husband’s aerospace career required, including France and England, where Dora became an avid Francophile.

They were long time residents of Simi Valley until retirement brought them to Oak Harbor where so many of their relatives were living.

They became very involved with the dedicated people who were instrumental in creating the PBY Memorial Foundation, located in Oak Harbor and continued with those friendships.

Dora loved her home and during the last years was enjoying the Oak Harbor Gem Club where she did lapidary projects and made many friends.

Her grandchildren, Renee Sproull of Bellevue and Aaron Martell of Tucson, Az. will miss her dearly. She

Dora Jean Sproull was the eldest daughter of five children, Marie, Larry and Carol preceded her departure, but her youngest sister Patsy Moore of Redmond will remember the wonderful years they shared.

Special one-time funding helped whittle down the number from more than 200 last year, but added the list never stops growing.

“We get new ones reported to us two or three times a week,” Ferris said.

This bill is not landmark legislation that will permanently end the threat of old boats sinking and polluting Puget Sound, but it will add a handful of measures to help state regulators better address the ongoing issue, Ferris said.

“There’s not going to be a night or day difference with the passage of this bill ‚Äî but in the long run it should leave us with fewer derelict vessels to deal with.”

First and foremost, it retains a $1 registration fee that was set to expire next year. With an existing $2 fee in place, that $1 represents about one-third of the program’s budget.

The new legislation also specifies about $200,000 in funding for a vessel turn-in

Aimed at smaller recreational vessels, this should reduce the number of boats sold for a $1 on Craigslist by owners who can’t afford to sell them properly, Ferris said.

Ronald Lawrence Gordon, a resident of Mount Vernon, for the past 16 years, died Sunday, April 14, 2013 surrounded by family at his home. He was 71.

Ron, as he was known by friends and family, was born to Harry Alvin Gordon Jr. and Mary May (Wood) Gordon in Rifle, Colo. on Oct. 25, 1941. Ron was the oldest of eight siblings, preceded in death by Carlene Gordon and Douglas Gordon. Ron is survived by three brothers, Harry Alvin Gordon III, Jeff Gordon, and Bruce Gordon and two sisters, Noni Rappleyea and Laurie Shultz.

boats would need to be inspected before being sold as would vessels over 65 feet in length that are more than 40 years old.

The idea is to help potential buyers know just what they are getting into before they take on a floating hulk they can’t afford to fix up, Ferris said.

Department of Ecology officials would also have the power to get administrative warrants — through the courts — to board and inspect potential problem vessels.

Were that option available this time last year, much of the environmental impact of the Deep Sea’s sinking may have been avoided.

“It definitely would have gotten someone onboard and gotten the fuel removed,” Ferris said.

Finally, vessel registration violations would be decriminalized. While that may seem like a step backward, officials believe it could lead to greater accountability and oversight.

The idea is that overburdened police officers might be more inclined to write a ticket for a civil infraction as opposed to pursuing a more onerous criminal misdemeanor for something a small as an expired boat registration.

That will generate additional revenue for other state programs while also helping keep better track of derelict vessel owners should they pass through multiple hands, Ferris said.

Ferris said the bill was a bi-partisan effort and widely supported in the House and Senate, though she singled out state Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, was one who championed the new legislation.

Smith called the legislation a “significant first step” toward “fundamental” change in the way the state addresses

derelict vessels.

And more change is on the way with additional legislation will be proposed next year, she said.

It will revamp owner responsibilities, further refine guidelines for public and private vessels before their sale, and revise protocols and regulatory obstacles that make disposing of old vessels difficult.

“Ther e is a potential tsunami of really Melissa old vessels ferris coming down the pike and we need to have a plan in place now to deal with them,” Smith said. “That’s what this is really all about.”

Many in Coupeville, including Jefferds, are grateful for the support in Olympia and here at home. His company is still feeling the financial and operational sting from the sinking.

When the Deep Sea went down, commercial and recreational shellfish harvesting was closed and an annual seed-set at the farm delayed.

Jefferds was able to move the crop to the company’s other farm in Quilcene, but he’s juggled assets and employees for nearly a year to deal with the fiasco.

“We’ll be back in full form here in a few months,” Jefferds said.

“It’s just been frustrating because the delay is a direct result of this oil spill.”

He said he submitted a claim for damages to a federal oil spill fund, but it has yet to be settled.

Jefferds declined to release the amount sought, saying only that it amounted to “lost business” while operations were shut down.

Rumble earns shot at pro football

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Rodrick Rumble, a 2008 Oak Harbor High School graduate, signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts Saturday.

Rumble will report to the Colts’ rookie camp May 9.

Rumble was a three-sport star at Oak Harbor High School. As a junior receiver he helped lead the Wildcats to the 2006 Washington state high school 4A football title.

He also was Oak Harbor’s leading scorer in basketball and in track he placed third in the state in the high jump.

Rumble went on to a recordsetting receiving career for the Idaho State University football team. He established school records his junior and seniors seasons and finished as the Bengals’ all-time receiver with 223 catches for 2,863 yards.

Rumble was a first-team, all-Big Sky selection and

Rodrick Rumble earned several all-American honors.

He said he was told he might be a late-round draft choice but wasn’t nervous as the rounds ticked off and his name wasn’t called.

Immediately after the draft he was contacted by several teams.

After going over his options with his agent, he

chose Indianapolis.

The Colts had shown interest in him for several months, and he often talked with their scout, Rumble said.

“With their personnel and with me being a bigger receiver, it was a good fit,” he said.

As his college career developed, he believed he had the ability to play professional football.

“I felt if I was healthy, I could compete,” Rumble said.

Upon completion of his career at ISU, his agent arranged for him to spend seven weeks at Athletes’ Edge, a special training facility in Florida, to prepare for a professional career.

“Now I’m going to work hard and make the most of it,” Rumble said.

He added, “I’m just blessed.

I thank God for my abilities and my maturity as a football player.”

He said many people

had a role in his development as an athlete, among them Roosevelt and Theresa Rumble, his parents; Anthony Tucker, his position coach his junior year at Idaho State; Dave Ward, his high school football coach; and Mike Washington, his high school basketball coach.

Roosevelt Rumble said, “We knew with his athletic ability as a young boy he would do something spectacular some day. Me and his mom are very proud of him.

We are even more proud of his education.”

Rodrick Rumble graduated from ISU with a degree in mass communications.

CHS baseball team, after 2 wins, prep roundup ‘Cats win boys golf match opens playoffs at home today Coupeville High School’s baseball team’s wins in the final two regular season games were more than a couple of checks in the win column.

The Wolves knocked off Sultan and Lakewood (which had beaten them twice earlier this season); sewed up third place in the Cascade Conference; locked up the No. 1 seed among 1A league schools heading into the district tournament; and earned a home game in the first round of the playoffs. And if that is not enough, Coupeville snared third place and the top seed at the expense of rival South Whidbey.

The Wolves (8-10, 10-10) begin district play at home at 4 p.m. today against Lynden Christian (8-11) Win or lose, Coupeville plays at 1 p.m.

Thursday at Blaine’s Pipeline Fields in the double-elimination, eight-team tournament.

The Wolves wrapped up the regular season with home wins over Sultan (6-2 Friday) and Lakewood (4-2 Monday).

In the Sultan game, Ben Etzell pitched a five hitter, striking out nine, and added two hits and an RBI to pace the Wolves. Kyle Bodamer added two hits and two RBI. Coupeville started the scoring with a two-run second. Morgan Payne singled, Jake Tumblin was hit by a pitch and Aaron Curtin walked in front of a two-run single by Bodamer.

Kurtis Smith led off the third with a hit and scored on an error to make it 3-0.

After Bodamer, Aaron Trumbull and Josh Bayne all singled in the fourth, Smith walked with the bases loaded to force in a run.

The Wolves tallied their final two runs in the sixth. Bayne singled, stole second and scored on Etzell’s single. Payne singled in Etzell.

Etzell took a two-hit shut out into the seventh when the Turks put together three hits to score two runs.

Against Lakewood, Bayne went 3-for-3, including a home run, and pitched a competegame six-hitter.

Coach Willie Smith said, “Phenomenal outing by Josh Bayne, who dominated on the mound and the plate.”

After giving up the two second-inning runs, Bayne allowed only two hits the rest of the way and none after the fifth inning. He received help from his defense, including gems by Drew Chan and Wade Schaef.

Second baseman Chan converted a linedrive double play in the fourth, and centerfielder Schaef gunned down a runner at third in the fifth.

Consecutive singles by Etzell, Payne and Tumblin gave the Wolves a 1-0 lead in the first.

After Lakewood went up 2-1 in the top of the second, Bayne blasted his two-run shot in the bottom half to put his team back on top.

’Cat baseball team falls to T-birds, heads to playoffs

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

It was a game of “what ifs” for the Oak Harbor High School baseball team in its 7-4 loss to powerful Shorewood Monday in Oak Harbor.

The Thunderbirds (14-2, 17-2) were undefeated and the state’s top-ranked 3A team until stumbling twice to Meadowdale last week. They have outscored opponents 144-32 this spring.

Shorewood ripped 13 hits, without a cheapie in the bunch, against Oak Harbor and took advantage of four Wildcat errors to build a 7-0 lead after four innings. Three of the runs were unearned.

In addition to the errors, Oak Harbor hurt itself by leaving seven runners on, including five in scoring position. Shorewood pitcher Sam Boone struck out eight, several in key situations to get out of trouble.

Oak Harbor knew it wasn’t its day when, with the bases loaded and two outs, Jack

Richter hit a line shot but directly to the second baseman to end the threat.

The Wildcats scored three in the fifth to get within striking distance. Anthony Stewart singled, stole second and scored on an error after Clay Doughty’s bunt single.

Grant Schroeder’s double plated Doughty. After an out, Richter doubled in the third run.

In the seventh, Brent Mertins walked with one out, moved up on an error and fielder’s choice and scored on a passed ball.

Stewart and Andrew Snavely each finished with two hits for the Wildcats.

Schroeder had a good outing after taking over on the mound for Richter with two outs in the third inning. He gave up only five hits, three in the Thunderbirds’ two-run fourth, to give Oak Harbor a chance to comeback.

The Wildcats (9-7, 10-9) finished the regular season at Meadowdale (8-8, 9-10)

Tracksters race in invitationals Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school track team members took part in invitational meets Saturday.

The Wildcats’ John Rodeheffer, Alex Laiblin and the girls 4x800 relay team all earned firsts in the 12-team Tomahawk Classic in Marysville.

Coupeville standouts Madison Tisa-McPhee and Makana Stone competed in the prestigious 37th annual Lake Washington Invitational in Kirkland.

Oak Harbor Sophomore Rodeheffer led the field in the 3,200 (9:44.64) and placed second in the 1,600 (4:30.07).

Junior Laiblin took the girls 3,200 (11:34.31) and was fourth in the 1,600 (5:22.85).

Lauren Vagt, Hayley Lundstrom, Marisa Sligh and Ashley Everett won the 4x800, an event not normally run in high school meets, in 10:14.14.

Oak Harbor takes part in the Stanwood Twilight Invitational at 4:30 p.m. Friday in the final meet before the post season begins May 8 and 10.

Coupeville The Lake Washington meet, which attracted athletes from 77 schools, featured most of the state’s top runners regardless of classification.

Senior Tisa-McPhee placed 12th in the 100 hurdles in 16.14 and 13th in the 300 hurdles in 48.24.

Her times are fourth best in the state in both the events for 1A schools this spring.

Freshman Stone placed 20th in the 100 (13.11), 24th in the 200 (27.53) and 25th in the 400 (1:02.11).

The Wolves go to King’s at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow for the Cascade Conference championship meet.

Oak Harbor’s Anthony Stewart creates a cloud of dust stealing second base against Shorewood Monday. yesterday; results were not available at press time.

Oak Harbor is locked into second place in the Wesco North, however, will not play a home game in the first round of the playoffs as origi-

If Ferndale of the Northwest Conference has a better league record than one or either of the fourthplace teams in the Western Conference’s two divisions

Coupeville scored in the second inning.

Bessie Walstad walked, McKayla Bailey hit a line drive single off the pitcher’s knee and Madi Strasburg singled in Walstad.

That was it for the Wolves’ offense.

The lead held until the bottom of the third when the Falcons scored five runs with the help of a walk, two singles, a double and Mackenzie Hezel’s home run.

South Whidbey added single runs in the fourth and sixth and finished with nine hits. Bailey took the pitching loss.

Coupeville collected only five hits, striking out 11 times and leaving eight runners stranded. Hailey Hammer doubled, Bailey had two singles and Maria Rockwell and Strasburg singled.

Coupeville co-coach David King said, “South Whidbey came ready to play and out hustled and outplayed us today.”

The Wesco North tournament begins Tuesday, May 7, at Stanwood.

Wildcats split in soccer After losing 3-1 at first-place Stanwood Friday, the Oak Harbor soccer team won a physical battle 2-1 at Meadowdale Monday.

Stanwood (9-3, 10-3-2) clinched first place in the Wesco 3A North soccer standings by defeating visiting Oak Harbor.

team with the worst record is the North’s MarysvilleGetchell (5-11).

Ferndale, therefore, is placed into the Wesco North, bumping Getchell out of the playoffs. With an 9-3 league record, Ferndale will take over the second seed in the North and drop Oak Harbor with its 9-7 record to third.

Now Oak Harbor will open district tournament play at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 4, at the South’s No. 2 seed Glacier Peak (11-4, 13-5), a team it lost to 9-4. Had Oak Harbor been the No. 2 seed, it would have hosted Mountlake Terrace, a team it beat 10-2.

The second round of the eight-team, double elimination tournament is Tuesday, May 7.

The Wesco coaches are not happy with Ferndale’s arrangement considering it is the only 3A school in the Northwest Conference and plays only 2A and 1A schools.

Four of is league wins were over 1A teams.

Daniel Ross helped avert the shutout with a last-second goal for the Wildcats.

The Meadowdale (4-8, 4-10-1) match featured rugged play.

Wildcat coach Brian Thompson said, “We played very well last night despite the rough and tumble style of Meadowdale.”

The recipient of much of the damage was Oak Harbor’s Chase Muller, who was hit in the face twice, forcing him to leave the field with a bloody nose. The second shot may have broken his nose, Thompson said.

Muller and teammates prevailed, however, as the Wildcats received goals from Caley Powers and Gavin Stewart.

Powers’ goal, which as assisted by Matt Jensen, came on a shot that hit the cross bar and angled in.

Stewart’s unassisted goal came on a “perfect shot,” according to Thompson.

Oak Harbor (5-6-1, 5-8-2) wraps up the regular season with a 7:30 p.m. home match with Marysville-Pilchuck (4-7-1, 5-8-2) tonight.

New job CONTINUED FROM A1 The school board was about to vote on the recommendation but wanted to make sure Schulte was still on board with his decision to leave the place he’s called home since 1987.

Schulte said he was committed to make the change.

“It’s exciting,” Schulte said, “and terrifying.”

Schulte’s decision leaves the Oak Harbor School District in strange territory.

When Schulte officially steps down as the Oak Harbor schools’ leader on June 30, it will end a string of 20 years in one place, believed to be the second longest streak among current school superintendents in the state.

For the first time in two decades, the Oak Harbor school board finds itself engaged in a superintendent search.

The board met with Schulte and pondered its next step at its normally scheduled school board meeting Monday night.

Although Schulte will be detached from the process of finding a successor, he did endorse assistant superintendent Lance Gibbon as the natural choice to succeed him.

Schulte also offered some general guidance on where to start with the succession process, emphasized the significance of the decision by the school board and how important it is to act quickly to start what can typically be a lengthy process.

The board is planning to meet again Monday night with sole focus on the superintendent position. It is looking at bringing in a third party to run a workshop, answer questions and offer guidance.

“It hasn’t been done in 20 years. We want to do it well,” school board member Christine Cribb said. “We want to be proud of our decision when we’re done with the process.”

“We want the process to be open.,” Cribb said. “We want the public to be able to voice their opinions and share with the board.”

“It is the single-most-important decision we will make,” said Corey Johnson, a school board member for seven years.

Schulte, 64, had told the school board he was ready for a new challenge, informing members he didn’t want his contract renewed after the 2013-14 school year.

The Richland School District learned of his availability and made him one of three finalists last month. Schulte visited the Tri-Cities twice and school board members from Richland came to Oak Harbor last week to further evaluate its candidate.

The visitors interviewed Schulte’s associates and also saw first-hand the modern of school buildings that were constructed under Schulte’s tenure.

The Richland School District recently passed a $98 million bond to build five elementary schools and a middle school.

“Oak Harbor is really in good shape,” Schulte told the board and audience at Monday’s meeting.

“It is a really good school district. That’s because a lot of us put a lot of work and effort into that. One person doesn’t do all that.”

He said when guests from Richland came on their site visit, they were in awe of some of the facilities.

“I know they weren’t just looking at me,” Schulte said.

“They were looking at Oak Harbor School District. I know that many of the stories you told to the Richland visitors when they were here made them sound like they were a reflection of me. They are really a reflection of us. We really are very good. I think everybody here should be proud of that.

“Some of my bigger worries about Oak Harbor is that Oak Harbor doesn’t think it’s as good as it really is. That’s a shame. I think we really are a lot better than sometimes we think we are.”

Schulte came to Oak Harbor in 1987 as assistant superintendent and took over his role as superintendent in 1993 when Roger Woehl stepped down.

Gibbon, 44, said he is interested in succeeding Schulte.

He is flattered by Schulte’s support and considered it a honor to work with him during his six years as assistant superintendent.

“He leaves very big shoes to fill,” Gibbon said.

“Ultimately, I want what’s best for our school district.”

“Quite honestly, I consider it a privilege to work with Rick and I would consider it a privilege to be able to lead the district if that’s what the school board selects. But I will support whatever their decision is.”

Schulte starts his new job on July 1.

“It absolutely feels strange,” Schulte said. “To be in one location and in one job for as long as I have, it’s very unusual for a superintendent to stay in one job for 20 years. This is the town we raised our daughter in. I have a lot of friends here. Everywhere I go I know people. That feels really good. It feels very comfortable. So the thought of moving to a place where really I don’t know anybody … on the other hand I have the opportunity to meet a lot of new people.

“On one hand, there’s the excitement of meeting a lot of new people. And on the other hand there is the sadness of leaving behind many friends.”

Then he smiled.

“I’m still in the state of Washington,” he said. “I’m not going that far away. I’m hoping that I will still maintain contact with a lot of people in Oak Harbor.” n Reach Whidbey News-Times staff reporter Ron Newberry at 360-675-6611, ext. 5070, or rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

The same was true for Ashley Ward, a mother of three. This was the second deployment she’s waited out at home.

Their third child, 5-weekold Jett, was born while he was away.

The reunions of both families were joyful occasions.

Petty Officer Wayne Westfall said he’d envisioned seeing his wife again countless times but none ever measure up to the real thing.

“It’s like waking up again,” he said.

“Now that it’s over with, it’s like a blur in the past,” echoed Michael Ward, an aviation electrician.

Families have their own ways of dealing with the time apart. While most stay in contact via email or with the single phone call allowed per week, others took more creative approaches.

Becky Bankart put 250 jelly beans in a jar so her children could visualize the number of days their dad, Lt. Cmdr. Hunter Bankart, would be gone.

Each day, either Ashlyn, 4, or Brenden, 2, would eat one and they watch the jar slowly empty.

“We started from the beginning and counted all the way down,” Becky said.

Becky also made a paper chain with the same sort of concept.

“My wife did like a link chain and every day the kids tore off a link from the chain so they could visually see how long it was till I came home,” Hunter said.

“So they’re all excited obviously. They’re little and they can’t count very high. Once we got below 10, they kind of understood that I was coming home pretty soon.”

Hunter Bankart, a second generation Navy pilot from Virginia Beach, Va., smiled widely at every opportunity Sunday, relieved to be back home with his wife and children.

“It’s a pretty awesome experience,” he said.

he pointed at the painting on the storefront window.

Her parents carefully studied the long black structure with splashes of pink, showing the sort of admiration if it were a piece from Picasso.

“It’s a cherry blossom,” Jasmine Dulay said.

This was why, after an initial adjustment, Roderick and Kristina Dulay have come to enjoy living in Oak Harbor.

They came to downtown to take part in the quaint small town festival that celebrates Oak Harbor’s Dutch heritage, Holland Happening. Part of that celebration includes an arts walk with art from the town’s elementary school kids covering storefront windows of downtown businesses.

Jasmine Dulay, a kindergartner at Olympic View Elementary, gets an upclose look at her artwork that was showcased as part of the art walk portion of Holland Happening.

Jasmine, a kindergartner, spotted her painting along with others from Olympic View Elementary School.

It was a big day for the Dulays.

Their son, Patrick, was playing drums in the parade for Oak Harbor High School’s marching band.

The family moved to Oak Harbor from San Diego a little more than a year ago after Roderick was stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

“It’s taken some time to get used to because we were big-city people,” Roderick said. “We are fall-

ing in love with Oak Harbor.”

Although the warmth and sunshine of preceding days didn’t stick around for the weekend, the 45th running of Holland Happening was still well attended and showed other positive signs as one of Oak Harbor’s biggest celebrations.

Some pointed out that Saturday’s parade attendance seemed larger than usual. The carnival along Bayshore Drive also was packed Saturday, and foot traffic was steady through downtown and the 106 booths that were set up.

Kathy Reed, director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said that drizzly weather might’ve affected attendance Saturday afternoon and Sunday but noted that vendors she spoke to seemed very satisfied with the event.

Missing for the first time in at least 20 years was retired wood carver Elmer Veldheer. However, Jenna Goodman, 27, of Bellingham brought her talent as a wood burning artist to burn designs into wooden shoes.

“It’s the softest wood I’ve ever worked on,” she said.

Audrey Butler, a member of the festival’s committee, was busy selling shoes after participating in the traditional street sweeping during the parade.

“You’re welcome to try them on,” she told a passer-by. “You never know until you try.”

Showing their community support were two of the naval base’s most prominent leaders, Capt.

Michael Nortier, commanding officer of NAS Whidbey; and Capt.

Edward Simmer, commanding officer of Naval Hospital Oak Harbor.

They both walked in the parade.

“We get great support from the community, so I think it’s important we come out and support the community in return,” Simmer said. “We very much appreciated the opportunity today to watch all of the great groups, especially the marching bands. I thought they were particularly good, so I enjoyed it.”

Two seats up for election at the Port of Coupeville

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

As the result of an unexpected resignation and recent census results, the the Port of Coupeville’s Board of Commissioners will see big changes by the end of the year.

Two of the three seats on the port board are up for election in 2013.

The newest member of the board, Laura Blankenship, abruptly resigned in early April.

Blakenship was little more than a year into her six-year term.

The longest-serving port commissioner, Benye Weber, isn’t able to run again for her seat.

As a result of the 2010 Census and resultant redistricting to ensure the populations of each district within

the boundaries of the Port of Coupeville are roughly equal, Weber’s home ended up in a neighboring district.

Weber said she is OK with the boundary change. She wasn’t planning to seek a third term anyway.

“Two six-year terms is enough,” Weber said.

“I was at the point I want to do other things.”

Weber said she wants to spend more time with her grandchildren.

In addition to her service on the Port of Coupeville’s board, Weber said she served 14 years on the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing and 12 years on the Island County Civil Service Commission.

Weber is planning to finish out the remainder of her term.

With Weber’s out for another term, port leaders

are preparing for two open seats in November’s election.

Jim Patton, executive director for the Port of Coupeville, is advertising for someone to be appointed to Blankenship’s seat on the board.

Whoever is appointed to Blankenship’s seat would serve until Nov. 26, when the results of the general election are certified.

The two remaining port commissioners have 90 days to find a replacement.

If they fail to accomplish that, then the Board of Island County Commissioners can step in and name a replacement.

Patton said it would be best if a person is appointed to Blankenship’s seat during the Port of Coupeville’s monthly meeting scheduled for May 8.

That way, a person would

Seats held by Port Commissioners Laura Blankenship, left, and Benye Weber, right, are up for election this year. Blankenship resigned last month. Weber is not up for re-election. be in place before the election filing period for elected office, which takes place May 13-17.

To apply to be appointed to the vacancy on the board, the person must reside within District No. 3, which basically extends from Admiral’s Cove south near the intersec-

tion of State Highway 525 and Mutiny Bay Road.

Applications for the seat will be accepted until 4 p.m., Friday, May 3 at the Port of Coupeville office, 24 Front St., Coupeville.

The port’s mailing address is P.O. Box 577, Coupeville, WA, 98239.

Candidates will be interviewed during the Port of Coupeville’s May 8 meeting.

That starts at 10 a.m. and is held at the Sno-Isle Library, 788 N.W. Alexander St. For more information, call Patton at 360-678-5020, or email to executivedirector@ portofcoupeville.org
