Co. planner job offered to Oregon candidate

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An Oregon planning director was offered the job of Island County planning chief Monday.

David Wechner, head of the Josephine County Planning Department, was unanimously selected for the job by the Island County Board of Commissioners during the board’s regularly scheduled meeting.

Wechner was offered the job Monday afternoon but asked the commissioners for 24 hours to make a decision on whether to accept it.

He declined an interview with the Whidbey News-Times until he accepted the position and a contract is in place.

“I’m pleased that we have someone with Dave’s experience who has expressed interest in this position,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who made the motion to offer Wechner the job.

“I think he’ll be well matched with our county and with our community and I’m really looking forward to his great success.”

Commissioner Jill Johnson said she shares those “sentiments.”

Johnson added that she didn’t know what expect from the selection process and was happy with the “quality” of the applicants.

“We had a lot of viable choices and I’m excited where we ended up on this,” Johnson said. “I think this will be a good hire for Island County.”

“I’m hopeful that he will accept.”

Wechner would replace Bob Pederson, who resigned in March.

Although the board cannot officially make a decision until a public vote by members at its next school board meeting on May 28, Wallin said that board sentiments are strong toward Gibbon, who’s shadowed Schulte and

served as assistant superintendent of the school district for the past six years.

Wallin said that Gibbon has shown a fiscally conservative approach and impeccable integrity just like his mentor.

“He’s been able to pick up the budget

With a solid foundation in place and a groundswell of positive momentum, Lance Gibbon is interested in continuing to build on the successes he’s seen take place around him in the Oak Harbor School District.

It appears he will get that chance.

Gibbon spoke before an overflow crowd of more than 100 at the Oak Harbor School District office Monday night, sharing his vision for the Oak Harbor schools should he be chosen as the school district’s next superintendent.

Gary Wallin, president of the Oak Harbor School Board, said Tuesday that all indications point to Gibbon being named as Rick Schulte’s successor.

The school board met for two hours in executive session following Monday night’s public forum and weighed in on community input they heard from earlier in the evening and through nearly 200 responses to an online

Water Festival offers insight ‘camaraderie’ Tribal racers descend on Penn Cove

By Megan Hansen Examiner editor

Morning clouds and cool temperatures didn’t stop visitors from heading to the Penn Cove Water Festival Saturday.

Racers from tribes all over the Pacific Northwest gathered in Coupeville to take part in the annual festival, which aims at maintaining a cultural relationship with Pacific Northwest Native Americans.

It’s really about a cultural exchange and understanding, said Vicky Reyes, festival president.

At the beginning of the festival, tribal leaders shared information about their cul-

ture by performing a song to kick off the festival.

Also prior to races starting a tribal prayer was performed.

Clouds burned off in the early afternoon, giving visitors a sunny chance to watch racing, which went from the wharf to the boat launch.

People watched from all over the area including the wharf, viewing decks on Front Street, along the walking path and boat launch.

Races including single person entries as well as multiperson entries.

“I love the camaraderie of the races,” Reyes said. “They (the different tribes) seem to enjoy the day with each other.”

Cash prizes were awarded to the top winners.

Local businesses and groups sponsored individual races, which covered the cost of the cash prizes.

It takes a lot to put on the event each year, Reyes said.

The cost to put on the event is about $30,000. Funds are made up through fundraisers, such as the salmon taco booth at the event, community and tribal grants as well as countless in-kind donations.

In addition to the races, there are educational booths, children’s activities, tribal entertainment and booths offering tribal wares.

Each portion of the festival takes manpower to plan and operate.

“We’re hoping to get more public involvement next year,” Reyes said.

Organizers are already reviewing this year’s event and making note for the next festival, slated for Saturday, May 10, 2014.

Each year the water festival date is dependent on Community members baked and donated hundreds of loaves of bread to present as a welcome to tribal members who participated in the Water Festival.

Fire destroys Oak Harbor garage; home spared but badly damaged

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor home on Northwest Hyak Drive was damaged Sunday when an unexplained fire began in the garage.

Cause of the blaze was unknown as of press time Tuesday but fire officials say it started just before midnight.

The fire was reported by the residence’s two residents, though they weren’t in the home at the time.

Oak Harbor Fire Department Chief Ray Merrill said the renters were returning home from an evening with friends when they noticed smoke in the neighborhood.

“They pulled up to their front yard and saw it was their home on fire,” Merrill said.

The 9-1-1 call came in at 12:50 p.m. and the department’s first units were on the scene at 12:57, Merrill

said. They arrived to find the flames largely contained in the garage but beginning to extend into the dining room area of the single story structure.

“Our crews did a really quick internal attack and was able to stop the fire from spreading to the rest of the house,” Merrill said.

Oak Harbor Fire Department dispatched one fire engine, one ladder truck and two command officers.

A Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services fire engine was also on scene and provided assistance.

Merrill estimates damages at about $50,000. The home did not sustain serious smoke damage but it is without power.

The electrical system, housed in the garage, was completely destroyed, he said.

Fire investigators spent part of Monday looking for

clues about how the fire started.

Merrill said a cause has not been determined but

that arson is not suspected.

“The fire appears to be accidental but it’s still under investigation,” Merrill said.

A Skagit County judge will decide if Island County legally owns a disputed piece of Greenbank beach property.

On Monday, Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill granted a changeof-venue motion brought by the attorneys for Bruce Montgomery, a pharmaceutical magnate who claims the small piece of property as his own.

Island County officials filed the lawsuit for ejectment and quiet title, declaratory relief and to abate a public nuisance in March after years of investigation.

The controversy began more than five years ago when Montgomery built a rock wall at the end of Wonn Road, which is adjacent to his waterfront home.

Montgomery claims he owns the beach property.

Members of the community were upset at losing scarce public access to the water. The late Glenn Russell, a Greenbank artist, claimed that the area was always public and was once the head of the long-gone Greenbank Wharf.

In court Monday, Jamila Johnson of the law firm Schwabe, Williamson and Wyatt cited arguments in support of the motion to change venue.

According to Island County Chief Civil Deputy Dave Jamieson, Johnson argued that, under state law, the lawsuit should have been filed in a neighboring county because Island County is the plaintiff Johnson also argued that “the judge cannot be impartial because county commissioners set the budget for the courts,” Jamieson said.

Jamieson, however, said he disagrees.

He argues that the case didn’t meet the statutory grounds for change of venue.

“I don’t think a judge would have trouble being impartial just because the commissioners fund the court,” he said.

Montgomery’s attorney, however, won the argument.

Jamieson said the case will be concluded, if it isn’t settled first, with a bench trial.

That means a Skagit County Superior Court judge, not a jury, will weigh the evidence and enter a decision.

The date for trial is not yet set.

Second lawsuit filed against woman accused of stealing Bookkeeper allegedly took more than $200,000 from organizations

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A second lawsuit was filed Monday against a bookkeeper accused of embezzling more than $200,000 from two North Whidbey community organizations.

Oak Harbor attorney Thomas Sandstrom, who works at the law offices of Christon Skinner, filed the complaint for money damages in Island County Superior Court on behalf of Hillcrest Village Water Co. The long list of defendants in the suit include 50-year-old Oak Harbor resident Wendy Murphy, her husband, another relative, Rolling Hills-Glencairn Community Service, two

credit card companies, a mortgage company and three insurance companies.

Rolling Hills-Glencairn Community Service also filed a lawsuit against Wendy Murphy earlier this year.

Murphy didn’t contest that suit and the judge ordered a judgment against her requiring she pay Rolling HillsGlencairn $57,000.

Under the terms of the Rolling Hills-Glencairn settlement, Wendy Murphy’s husband, Sean Murphy, was removed from the list of defendants. Each wrote statements explaining that he knew nothing about the embezzlement and that the marital community didn’t profit.

In his declaration, Sean Murphy wrote that his wife went to the casino frequently, but he monitored their bank accounts and she never spent a lot of money.

He wrote that neither he nor his business received any of the money she allegedly embezzled.

312 SE Pioneer Way Oak Harbor

Court documents state that Valerie Wiley, the former bookkeeper for Rolling Hills, trained Wendy Murphy to take over for her in 2009. The community’s board approached Wiley in early 2013 after concerns arose about missing funds.

Wiley reviewed the books and discovered that thousands of dollars were missing.

Court documents also state that the majority of the funds were taken through unauthorized charges and cash advances on the organization’s credit card.

The Rolling Hills board president sent out a letter to members in March which states that officials believe that individual accounts were not affected.

To complicate matters, Wendy Murphy allegedly embezzled money from Hillcrest Village Water Co., where she was also employed as a bookkeeper, to cover her embezzlement from Rolling Hills, according to an affidavit in support of a search warrant.

The affidavit is on file in Island County Superior Court.

Wendy Murphy is not been charged with a crime.

Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the allegations. The prosecutor’s office has not received his report yet.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Sandstrom wrote that Wendy Murphy allegedly embezzled more than $168,000 from Hillcrest Village Water Co. while she was the organization’s bookkeeper.

The lawsuit also states that Rolling Hills-Glencairn Community Service is liable for $61,000 it received from checks that Wendy Murphy wrote on the Hillcrest Village Water account.

Rolling Hills “knew or should known” that the checks were not authorized and “failed to make reasonable inquiries into the source and purpose of the receipts,” Hillcrest Village Water Co. maintains in its lawsuit.

Likewise, the lawsuit indicates that Wendy Murphy wrote checks on the Hillcrest account to cover thousands of dollars of her credit card and other bills.

Sandstrom said he filed the lawsuit against the entities to recover the “unjust enrichment.”

Whidbey General Hospital officials are putting out a call for people interested in serving as the District No. 4 commissioner.

Roger Case held the position for nearly 18 years but is stepping down. His last day is June 15.

The board said it wants to name a replacement the week before at its monthly meeting.

The only trouble is efforts to recruit willing candidates have not gone according to plan.

“We’ve had it on our website but not a single person has applied,” said Trish Rose, spokeswoman for Whidbey General.

The hospital board is composed of five commissioners who are charged with creating and adopting policy for the district while also overseeing operations, including the delivery of quality patient care.

According to a message posted on the hospital’s website by board President Ann Tarrant, the board is seeking “civic-minded and capable” applicants with business and or health care experience.

“The successful applicant must be able to commit to

selected committee meetings that may occur during the day,” the message said. “She or he must also be able to attend regularly scheduled board meetings held monthly at 5 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at Whidbey General Hospital.”

Once someone is appointed, that person will also have to run in the November general election in order to retain the seat.

Hospital commissioner terms are for six years.

Filing for open elected offices in Island County closed last week and the District No. 4 hospital seat was one of 14 positions that received no candidate filings.

In response, the Island County Auditor’s Office will hold a special filing period for those races June 3 through 5.

Declarations of candidacy will be accepted each day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Elections Office in Coupeville.

To apply for the hospital appointment, resumes can be mailed to the board chairwoman at Whidbey General Hospital, 101 North Main St., Coupeville, 98239.

Board members will review the applications and interview the most qualified applicants prior to naming their selected candidate.

Conclusion of Filing Week resulted in no candidates for two dozen offices across Whidbey Island.

As a result, the Island County Auditor’s Office scheduled a special filing period for three days in early June.

The special filing period is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, June 3 through Wednesday, June 5.

On the Coupeville School Board, Position No. 2 is apparently being vacated by Jeff Tasoff; he didn’t file for reelection last week.

Another race without candidates is a seat on the Whidbey General Hospital Board being vacated by Roger Case Case recently announced he will resign from his seat effective June 15.

The remaining dozen

empty seats are on various water district boards located throughout Island County.

While the auditor’s office offered an online option during the regular filing period, people interested in the vacant seats will be required to file in person at the Elections Office, located on North Main Street in Coupeville.

If nobody files for the empty seats by the end of the special filing period, then they won’t appear on the November ballot. Nobody would be able to write in a candidates name for those empty seats either, Reagan said.

It would then be up to the elected board to appoint a replacement, who would then run for office during the next general election.

For more information, call the Election’s Office at 360679-7366.

City’s best bet may be a policy of inclusion, not one of exclusion publisher’s column

By Keven R. Graves

As a young reporter covering the occasional Oak Harbor City Council, I never had an issue with the invocation that topped each meeting’s agenda.

I’ve also never had any issue whatsoever with reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. In fact, it took me back to grade school, and I always looked forward to it — still do.

But, I do see the flip side in the prayer issue that recently appeared before the

council.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley placed the issue on a recent agenda. The council was asked to review its policy on having a prayer before each meeting begins.

That opening prayer is usually, if not always, a Christian one.

The matter was tabled, perhaps in part because it is a very controversial topic. Even though there wasn’t a lot of notice that the issue was going to be on the agenda, there were citizens prepared to speak on the matter.

The fact is, Oak Harbor is an increasingly diverse community, in large part because of the Navy presence. There are people of all faiths and backgrounds who have made the community their home, either temporarily or permanently.

Whether a resident is here one year or 100, our local government works on their behalf, regardless of religious or philosophical beliefs.

For me, prayer is a very personal matter. While I may not have any issue with praying to a Christian God before a council meeting, I understand there are others who follow another faith — or don’t believe in any god at all.

The prayer issue isn’t confined to the City of Oak Harbor.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court opted to hear a prayer case involving a city in Upstate New York.

The High Court will address the use of prayer to open town meetings in Greece, New York. The majority of the prayers are Christian-based.

The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals already ruled that the town should make a greater effort to invite people from other faiths to open the public meetings.

At some point, the Oak Harbor council will be forced to revisit the issue of prayer before meetings. It will undoubtedly lead to heated debate, and there will probably be a decision made by the council.

Ultimately, it must come down to respect for all beliefs, whether we share them or not.

For the Oak Harbor council, a policy of inclusion rather than exclusion might be the best solution. n Keven R. Graves is executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey New-Times. His email is kgraves@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Letters to the editor Politics

Obama’s failures on display with Benghazi Editor, In response to last week’s letter

by Ty Welch regarding presidential administration lying about Benghazi, this is just another example of the leadership we are getting from the White House.

Remember Nov. 7, 2009 in Fort Hood, Texas? An army major of Arab descent went on a rampage, killing 12 fellow soldiers and wounding 31 more.

Within a short time former President George Bush and wife Laura were there trying to console the wounded and families of the dead. All night long they did what one would expect of a commander in chief, though he no longer held that job.

The wounded and all the other soldiers knew that their former president cared for them.

After about four days, President Barack Obama showed up.

Thousands of troops were lined up in perfect formation as the present com-

mander took his place on the reviewing stand, with all the flags waving and media cameras rolling.

He gave his propaganda pitch and said, “We should not be too fast in judging the accused.”

Had I been one of those soldiers standing there thinking of my dead and wounded friends and hear our president make such a remark, I would have started action to resign.

And like that Johnny Paycheck hit song of 1978, I would have told Obama to “take this job and shove it.”

When it takes the commander in chief four days to check in on such a tragic act against his troops and then says for them not to be quick to judge the person they saw killing and wounding their comrades, I would find it hard to look up to him as my leader.

Last year, President Obama, Gov. Jay Inslee and the Democrats put forward a vision of an America stating “we are all in this together,” we all pay our fair share, and we create jobs and grow the economy by investing in things like education, the working class and infrastructure.

Mitt Romney, Rob McKenna and the Republicans offered a vision of an America where we reward individual success, and create jobs and grow the economy by reducing regulations and lowering taxes.

Two very clear, but very different, visions for the future of our state and nation.

In November, the American people made a resounding choice.

We chose Democrats for the White House, the United States Senate, the governor’s office, the state House, and state Senate, which two turncoat senators then decided to hand over to the Republicans.

Yet, since November, the Republicans have acted like their vision for America won, and are sticking to their playbook on issue after issue, regardless of the clear expressed will of the electorate.

It’s up to City of OH to mend fences in bones debacle Sound Off

By Melissa Duffy

Our city officials and staff work on behalf of Oak Harbor citizens. Laws regarding how to manage archeological sites are established.

I expect the people who work on behalf of our town to be law abiding.

The City of Oak Harbor personnel who managed the road project for Pioneer Street were informed in writing by state Duffy archeology department prior to construction that an archeological assessment was required before proceeding.

Pioneer Way and the areas nearby are known burial and archeological sites. People in charge of this project were notified, then went ahead, in complete disregard for the law.

What was in the mind of the staff who did this? Was it concern about the added cost of potential construction delays in a time of limited funds? Was it worry about increased project costs if state archeology rules were followed? Clearly, the decision was a big mistake.

Our Oak Harbor community is already bearing additional costs due to this wrong decision.

As I read the various letters to the editor in the Whidbey News-Times in response to what has taken place, mostly what I observe is complete cultural misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of important Coast Salish values.

Whereas now a majority of people in Western culture value property and possessions as our “wealth,” in Coast Salish traditional value system true “wealth” has always been found in

Both living elders who carry and pass on traditional ways as well as ancestors have tremendous value and importance in Salish Culture and are held in highest esteem.

In one Salish language, there isn’t even a word for “I,” there is only a word for “we.” “We” the extended community of both living and dead is of essential cultural importance. To disparage this Salish value of respect for ancestors is equivalent to spitting on our American flag.

The First Peoples of Oak Harbor lived here for more than 10,000 years. More than 90 percent of Northwest Coast First People died directly as a result of encounters with trappers and settlers through smallpox, epidemics and other means.

For those who remained, people from different tribal groupings were forced off their ancestral lands and concentrated on reservations. They were expected to assimilate.

Coast Salish territories were encroached upon and taken over without just compensation. Children were forcibly removed from parents, sent to boarding schools and forbidden to speak their traditional language. When they did, they were beaten.

Laws were passed that only recently were repealed making their traditional religious practices illegal, and making it against the law to practice their traditional economic system, the gift-giving peschelt known in English as the “potlach” system.

Every attempt possible was made to destroy Coast Salish culture, values and traditions.

In spite of this, certain values remain alive and strong within Coast Salish culture. A strong core continues: to have respect for and hold sacred the community’s elders and ances-

tors.

Complete disregard for this core cultural value is unacceptable and, fortunately, also illegal.

Our town cannot afford to lose $9 million in a lawsuit. Our city staff are already stretched thin with existing budget cuts.

As a town citizen I both mourn the utter cultural insensitivity and disrespect of Salish ancestors and the harm this has brought Coast Salish people, as well as mourn the potential destruction of our town’s wellbeing through a lawsuit that would be financially ruinous to our small town.

My hope, is that through positive actions taken by our town to do the right thing and make full reparations, that this lawsuit will not proceed.

Here is what I suggest — our town hold a community event: n To formally recognize and respectfully honor the 10,000plus legacy of the Coast Salish who lived in and around Oak Harbor. n Commission Coast Salish spiritual leaders trained in conducting a traditional burning and peschelt — a ceremony to remember and honor the ancestors — to hold a traditional ceremony. n Those city staff involved in the mistakes, and townspeople who feel so called, make gifts to be given and prepare food to share in a community-wide feast in honor of ancestors. n Those city staff who proceeded on this project without first getting the archeological assessment make a public apology to the Swinomish and residents of Oak Harbor. n Commission members of the Lower Skagit tribe to produce public art representing the legacy of the First People for Oak Harbor. Currently there is no representation.

It’s time to move forward.

We need to end the sequester, throw out the Republican budget, promote clean energy, respect working families, close tax loopholes, ask the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share, and make responsible use of tax dollars to create jobs and grow the economy by investing in our

OBITUARY John Mark Stanton

September 23, 1933 February 26, 2013 Former Judge John Stanton passed away in Seattle, Washington on February 26, 2013 after a two month recovery effort at University Washington Medical Center. While he loved Bakersfield, Kern County, where he was born and Tehachapi, California where he lived for 21 years, he also loved his retirement home in the northwest. He especially loved his walks at the Port Townsend ferry dock where he enjoyed the eagles, the hawks, the deer and even the seagulls.

His family came from Bakersfield and Oklahoma before that. He was proud to graduate from East Bakersfield High School where he excelled as a swimmer. During high school, he was named the San Joaquin Valley high point Individual Swimming Champion, and during one semester at Bakerfield Community College, he was named one of the top 1 0 swimmers in America. John went on to graduate from UC Berkeley where he played water polo.

He graduated from Hastings Law School in 1959. During law school he supported himself as a fireman for the railroads, firing the last of the steam engines.

Admitted to the bar, on January 6, 1960, he remembered his wedding date by marrying Millicent Benadik, on January 6, 1962. He started a worthy legal career which embraced several aspects of the legal profession. He spent many years with Kern County Counsel’s Office as advisor to the Board of Supervisors and finishing as Chief Litigator for that office. From 1975 to 1984 he served as a judge establishing the East Kern Municipal Court system.

Prior to this he served all over California as a circuit court judge. Known as a fair and firm person, he strove to run a local court that was efficient and promoted a friendly atmosphere among the opposing legal counsels.

His special concern was to bring fair justice to the communities he served and to the young people where he raised his own sons for 21 years.

John’s family was extremely important to him. He leaves his loving wife, Millicent of 51 years, his two cherished sons,

John Mark Stanton Andrew and Ian, Andrew’s wife, Tahl Tyson, and his granddaughters, Abra and Lily Stanton. He also had a special bond with his surviving brother, Jack L. Stanton and wife, Joyce, joining them to retire in the Northwest on Whidbey Island in 1994.

Milli and John made annual trips back to California to visit son, Ian, and nieces, Maureen Buscher-Dang, Claudia Key, Allene Krizo, Michael, Mark and Eric Buscher, Jeffrey and Tim Stanton and sister-in- law Margaret Dye. Colleagues and friends were valued highly and he continued friendships with visits and more frequent emails.

Judge Stanton had a great appreciation for his staff at the Mojave and Tehachapi courts. He was a quiet unassuming man, full of stories and expressions of old Kern Co. history. He especially enjoyed children and young people, animals and nature as well as science and history. Flying his private plane brought him many hours of relaxation and happiness.

He also enjoyed many years of bridge in the Admiral’s Cove bridge group. John worked in the legal community with a mission to serve the public, to promote respect for our laws and courts, and gave his best in difficult cases with integrity and fairness. The value of education was one of John’s highest priorities. Those who wish to make donations may consider UC Berkeley John Stanton scholarship, or Hastings Law School.

He also favored the work of the Southern Poverty Law Center to bring justice to those in need and the work of the Legal Advocacy Fund of American Association of University Women.

OBITUARY Mary Lines Mary was born in 1916 in Sumas, Washington, to Ethel Bates and Royce Farrand. Her father was a teacher and founded the first high school in the Clearbrook area. The family later moved to a farm on the Skagit flats where they raised dairy cows and poultry.

As a child Mary picked berries and beans to earn money, was a good student and became accomplished on the piano. She played classical music and was a big fan of choral music.

Mary attended Western Washington College when it was still a normal school.

While a student, Mary met and married Sydney Robert Lines, II, of Bellingham.

Syd was an electronics engineer for the FCC and worked for many years in the Washington, DC area.

During this period Mary raised a son and daughter, and for a time studied sociology at the University of Maryland.

When her husband retired from government service in 1975, they built a home in Coupeville. Because of Mary’s abiding interest in the natural environment, she joined the Mountaineers and took up painting and drawing of landscapes and flowers. She accumulated over 140 credits in art at Skagit Valley College and left behind a house full of paintings. Mary was an avid gardener her whole life and insisted her gardens be maintained even when she was no longer able to work in them.

Mary Lines During Mary’s 97 years, she witnessed periods of momentous change in the world and these changes influenced her greatly. She followed national and world politics intensely, debated them with her family and friends, and contributed to many causes. Throughout her life Mary read constantly and was involved in a Great Books group that lasted over twenty years.

She continued to read avidly until the last year of her life.

Mary donated her extensive book collection to the Coupeville library’s recent building campaign.

Mary’s husband, Syd, died in 1993. She is survived by her daughter, Sylvia Marie Reynolds, of Syracuse, New York, and by her son, Sydney Robert Lines, III, of Chicago, Illinois, four grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren.

Oak Harbor sends 7 individuals, relay to state track

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Seven individuals and a relay team will represent Oak Harbor High School at the state meet at Mount Tahoma High School Thursday through Saturday.

The Wildcats qualified by placing in the top three at the district meet Wednesday and Friday, May 15 and 17, at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

In team scoring, the Wildcat boys placed sixth in a tight scramble for fourth.

Oak Harbor scored 61 points, Glacier Peak had 63, Stanwood 62 and Marysville Getchell 60. Mountlake Terrace took the title with 107.

The Oak Harbor girls finished seventh with 53.5 points. Glacier Peak won the 11-team meet with 144.

Three Oak Harbor boys won district titles: Jeremy Foster in the shot put (5009.5), Chris Hailer in the high jump (6) and John Rodeheffer in the 3,200 (9:33.08).

Rodeheffer also qualified in the 1,600, placing second (4:31.56), while Clayton Richardson finished third (4:31.81).

Hailer finished eighth in the triple jump (41-02.5), Jacob Olson ninth in the high jump (5-08), Tyler Adamson 10th in the discus (118-06) and Michael Laningham 10th

sports in brief Catz claim 4th The Oak Harbor eighth-grade Catz girls basketball team rebounded from losses in the first two rounds to finish fourth in an end-of-the-year tournament at Burlington last weekend.

The Catz opened the tournament with losses to two tough teams, UBA of British Columbia and Lake Stevens.

Playing their third game on Saturday, the Catz blitzed Burlington 40-28. With the help of 10 straight

points from Kaytlyn Wallin, Oak Harbor forged an early lead and earned the win.

Six of the team’s eight players, Wallin, Bryn Langrock, Michaela Dasch, Rashanna Graham, Julie Jansen and Mia Littlejohn, scored in the contest.

Coach Gary Brundidge said, “Mia Gehrmann and Kalia Littlejohn contributed mightily on defense, grabbing rebounds and playing tough defense to round-out the Catz team.”

The Catz defeated Island Inten-

in the shot (41-02.5).

In the javelin, Carlos Beltran was ninth (139-08) and Piikekai Tarrant 15th (126-06).

Pole vaulters Keenan Davilla (10) and Connor Paramentor (9-06) finished 11th and 13th.

Ceasar, Anthony Alexander, Jayden Davilla and Allen Hills were seven in the 4x100 (45.79); and Josiah Welch, Noel Cheeseboro, Richardson and Patrick Mayer placed eighth in the 4x400 (3:42.53).

For the girls, Wicker (5:16.443), Laiblin (5:22.43) and Jonalynn Horn (5:35.87) ran 5-6-11 in the 1,600. Horn was also ninth in the 3,200 (11:55.08) while McKenzie Schneider placed 13th (12:12.37).

Taylor Deconzo placed fifth in the shot put (32-02), eighth in the javelin (92-05) and 15th in the discus (7404).

Jackie Dejesus (17.15) and Nalani Gabbert (17.45) finished fifth and seventh in the 100 hurdles.

Oak Harbor earned sixths from Jessica Hollins in the 100 (13.19) and 200 (26.89) and from Marisa Sligh in the 800 (2:25.76).

Suzanne Kaltenbach captured seventh in the 400 (1:04.83) and Claire Anderson eighth in the high jump (4-08).

Kaylee Lamb (30-00.75) was 10th and Olivia Hunt (2801.5) 14th in the shot.

In the triple jump, Hayley Lundstrom (29-06) and Zoeann Bassett (28) finished 13th and 15th.

Jinai Guzman took 14th in the javelin (81-04).

In the relays, Seabolt, Bassett, Miesle and Hollins placed sixth in the 4x100

sity of South Whidbey 26-17 Sunday in the game for fourth place.

After an early deficit, Oak Harbor pushed into the lead behind the scoring and rebounding of Jansen.

Brundidge said the Catz, noting Jansen’s height advantage, fed Jansen “for the tune of 11 points.”

He added, “A tough press spearheaded by the Littlejohn sisters proved to be a key component of numerous steals and led to extra scoring opportunities.”

Again six players scored, Jansen, Langrock, Graham, Wallin, Gehrmann, Jaden Jesus and Kalia Littlejohn.

Wolves’ Tisa-McPhee, 2 relays qualify for state in track

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Record-setting performances helped five Coupeville High School track team members qualify for the state track meet with top-six finishes at the tri-district championships Saturday at King’s High School in Shoreline.

The state meet is Friday and Saturday at Eastern Washington University in Cheney.

The five include girl hurdler Madison Tisa-McPhee and four girls relay members, Makana Stone, Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Sylvia Hurlburt and Marisa Etzell.

Junior Josiah Campbell of the boys team missed earning a state trip by finishing seventh in the 100 meters by the slightest of margins.

Campbell and the sixth-place finisher, Logan Moose of Eatonville, were clocked in identical times, 11.85, but Moose won the state berth based on a photo review.

Senior Tisa-McPhee set a school record, 48.01, in the 300 hurdles while placing fourth. She also ran

second in the 100 hurdles in 16.13.

The girls 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams posted new Coupeville High School records to secured state spots.

In the 4x100, senior Hoskins, sophomore Etzell and freshmen Hurlburt and Stone ran a 51.31 and placed fourth.

Tisa-McPhee, Hoskins, Hurlburt and Stone placed third in the 4x200 in 1:47.27, less than .2 seconds out of first.

In other girls finals action, Stone finished eighth in the 200 (27.15); Rachel Wenzel placed 12th in the javelin (88-09); and Kirsten Pelroy, Hoskins, Etzell and Stone took eighth in the 4x400 (4:21.36).

For the boys, Campbell was 13th in the triple jump (35-10.75) and junior Nick Streubel was 13th in the shot put (42-03.5).

Coach Randy King said, “Very excited about our day. The girls really showed up at crunch time with their best performances.”

He added, “Josiah Campbell in the 100 gave it a great shot. Tough

to lose out to state on the basis of a photo finish when you posted the same times down to the 100th of a second.”

In the tri-district team standings, the Coupeville girls finished 12th with 26 points; King’s won the 25-team meet with 97. Campbell earned two points for the boys, good for 20th. King’s won handily with 112.

Heading into the state meet, TisaMcPhee owns the state’s fifth-best 1A time in the 100 hurdles and eighth best in the 300.

The 4x200 team’s time is fourth best and the 4x100 team’s seventh.

Tisa-McPhee also qualified for state as a sophomore and placed eighth in the 100 hurdles in 16.64.

Results from the preliminaries at tri-district Thursday, May 16: Junior Brandon Kelley, 12th, 300 hurdles, 45.59; boys 4x100 (Lathom Kelley, Brandon Kelley, Sam Landau, Jared Helmstadter), 10th, 46.62; boys 4x400 (Lathom Kelley, Matthew Hampton, Landau, Helmstadter), 12th, 3:46.69.

Gamer having a ball Oak Harbor 6th-grader earns trip to Pokémon nationals

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Hillcrest Elementary School sixth-grader Elsian Atienze brought his team of six Pokémon to Vancouver, B.C., last month and won a regional tournament.

The Oak Harbor video gamer earned the title “Pokemon Regional Champion” after competing in a two-day tournament.

Atienze was among thousands of youths from across North America participating

in regional competitions to vie over who would get a spot at the national championships.

He has a team of six Pokémon he uses when competing — Garchomp, Rotom, Metagross, Hitmontop, Latios, and Escavalier.

Pokémon has been a family tradition for the Atienze family. Three of his siblings have competed, and continue to compete, in videogame tournaments.

“My brother showed me it

and I thought it was fun, so I kept on going,” Atienze said.

Atienze is one of five junior regional champions from North America to earn a spot at the national championship, which takes place early July in Indianapolis.

Atienze said he plays every chance he gets on the weekends. He’s not allowed to play on school nights.

When he is not playing video games or going to school, he is busy with athletics.

He plays basketball and will

also compete in the North Whidbey League where he plays pitcher, catcher and first-base.

Atienze is getting a chance to compete in the world championships. He is ranked second in the global Pokémon rankings which is a high enough spot to earn a place in the world tournament, Atienze’s brother, Casiano, noted.

That tournament takes place August in Vancouver, B.C.

Parade to feature five Pearl Harbor survivors

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff Reporter

Five Pearl Harbor survivors will visit Central Whidbey Island this weekend. They are an integral part of the town of Coupeville’s remembrance of Memorial Day. They will join their fellow veterans, along with representatives from community organizations and students, in Coupeville’s annual event that includes a parade down

Main Street beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday. Participants will walk on Front Street, Alexander Street and Coveland Street through downtown Coupeville before ending up in Town Park. Following the parade is a remembrance ceremony and a hot dog lunch organized by the Central Whidbey Lions Club and sponsored by Prairie Center Red Apple.

The five Pearl Harbor veterans will travel in clas-

sic cars down the parade route. Those survivors are Jim Stansell, who served on the USS Hull, Cecil Calavan, who served on the USS Utah, Harold Johnson, who served on the USS Oklahoma, Anthony Nady, who served on the USS Nevada and Harold Shimer, who served on the USS Helena.

Lynda Eccles, executive director for the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, noted a couple of other

veterans who will participate in the ceremony. Bill Etheridge, who was a prisoner of war in World War II along with Walter Nelson, who is 96 years old and served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Eccles said it is “just incredible” that World War II veterans are still around to participate in the parade and ceremony.

The 2013 version of the Memorial Day parade boasts around 70 entries.

heir apparent CONTINUED FROM A1 about Schulte’s plans to step down as superintendent.

When Schulte decided in April to accept the Richland School District’s superintendent post beginning July 1, ending a 20-year reign in Oak Harbor, the board brought in a facilitator to assist in the superintendent search process.

Jerry Jenkins, super-

intendent of Northwest Educational Service District No. 189, guided the process under a short timeline that led to calling for public input from an online survey and from Monday night’s public forum, and asking Gibbon to share his vision of the Oak Harbor schools.

Gibbon’s presentation focused on laying out a road

map for student success and continuing a journey started

by Schulte.

“What my vision is not is radical change,” he told the crowd.

“It’s not a laundry list of new programs and initiatives.

I would like to paint a vision that builds on the foundation of the quality staff we already have in place and that focuses on our resources to increase student success.”

Gibbon’s vision of the Oak Harbor School District is of “a caring community educat-

ing every child for success.”

He spoke of the significance of a students feeling connected to their schools and that they feel valued.

Gibbon talked about the importance of an adult connection at school, sharing from his own experiences how his high school choir teacher influenced him.

Gibbon, 44, also spoke about the importance of teachers in the Oak Harbor School District feeling valued and looking forward to coming to work.

Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times

Peter Szalai, right, president of the Oak Harbor Education Association, listens to Lance Gibbon’s speech about his vision for the Oak Harbor School District Monday night.

Gibbon said he wants to continue to strengthen the school district’s relationship with the greater community.

Student learning, ultimately, is at the core of his focus, he said.

“That’s the heart of why I went into education,” said Gibbon, whose parents were both educators.

“That’s really what we’re all about.

“I would say that the way that we do that is through a sense of community and collaboration through partnerships. It’s teachers working together. It’s kids working together. It’s getting our community, our businesses, volunteers involved so we’re all working together for the same goal.

“I think that ultimately will result in our desired outcome, which is student success. Students graduating from high school. Students being able to do well on academic assessments.”

“But along with that, continuing our award-winning programs, our athletic programs, all the options for kids,” he said.

“All of these things together really is the total vision of student success.”

Schulte has described Gibbon as his natural successor. He thought Gibbon’s vision was consistent to some of his own beliefs.

“It does exemplify the continuity and change,” Schulte said. “It’s taken it to the next level.”

“I think we’ve come a long way in the years that I’ve been in Oak Harbor, but we’ve still got places we can go and imporvements we can make.

And I think he outlined the direction that we need to go with that.” n Reach Whidbey NewsTimes staff reporter Ron Newberry at 360-675-6611 (ext. 5070), or rnewberry@ whidbeynewsgroup.com

Gov. signs new derelict vessel rules stemming from Penn Cove sinking Legislation bolstering Washington state’s derelict vessel rules was signed into law Monday by Gov. Jay Inslee.

Stemming from the sinking of the M/V Deep Sea in Penn Cove last year — an event that shut down shellfish harvesting for a month and cost taxpayers $5.4 million — the statutes are a grab-bag of small measures that lawmakers hope will reduce the likelihood of such events in the future.

“This bill helps get us on the right track to improving the conditions of our state‚“ waterways,” said Inslee in a statement released by the governor’s office.

“Derelict vessels pose a very serious threat to the environment and to our state’s economic well-being.”

The new statutes make permanent previously temporary funding of the state Department of Ecology’s Derelict Vessel Removal

Program. They provide regulators with the authority they need to board and inspect abandoned or derelict vessels before they sink.

The new rules also decriminalize registration violations from a misdemeanor crime to a civil infraction. That, lawmakers concluded, will make enforcement and fine collection more realistic for law enforcement officers and increase owner accountability requirements for vessels more than 65 feet long and more than 40 years old.

One of the legislation’s champions was Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton.

Efforts will continue this summer with stakeholders to “improve the opportunities for deconstruction and recycling of vessels, and strengthen prevention strategies,” Smith said.

During an interview last month, Smith said additional legislation may be proposed next year.

Exotic pet creates a stir after escaping his yard

By Jim Larsen Record editor

Jack lies peacefully on one couch cushion stacked atop another, eyes closed, the picture of innocence.

Hardly the type of fellow one would suspect of kicking off South Whidbey’s first wild coatimundi chase.

But this was Monday. A week from the prior Friday Jack, who looks like a raccoon except for his long snout and very long tail, was scurrying around Lone Lake Road, a relatively lonesome route lined by tall trees on either side.

Several women were chasing him while motorists

passed by slowed, some taking pictures to set the South End abuzz with Facebook and Twitter posts.

“I saw this thing last night on Lone Lake Road,” stated Erin Hanson on her Facebook page.

“What is it?” Hanson later said she saw several people trying to capture the curious creature as she took pictures of it.

As it turned out, they were eventually successful.

At the other end of Lone Lake Road, near Saratoga, Ali Frye somehow ended up with Hanson’s message on her smart phone. She looked at the strange critter and

called the paper.

“He’s cute,” she said.

“Some woman has an exotic pet out here.”

That woman turned out to be Rhonda Galbraith, who lives with Jack in an RV in Clinton but spends a lot of time at a friend’s house on Andreason Road, just off Lone Lake Road.

Early Friday morning, May 10, Galbraith let Jack out into the backyard for some fresh air.

“I got busy and he went over the fence and took off,” she said. “I looked for a couple hours then went to sleep.

When I woke up he was next to the shop where he found

Jim Larsen/South Whidbey Record

Annoyed at one point during an interview, Jack stands up, growls and eventually nips at his owner’s hand. Rhonda Galbraith is used to dodging his sharp teeth and claws. a slug and ate it, then he left again.”

By that time she had to go to work at the motel in Freeland.

“He was in the woods. I was so worried.”

Her worries came to an end late that afternoon when she learned a friend had managed to chase Jack down with the help of a couple of others and corner him on adjoining property.

“A friend called and said ‘I found Jack!’,” she said. “He got lost is what happened.

Oh my gosh, I was so happy I was crying.”

Soon Jack was back in his rightful spot on the couch and Galbraith was determined he would never cause such a commotion again.

“I make sure I’m outside with him at all times,” she said.

As she talks she strokes the placid Jack, but perhaps the interview is annoying him. He stands up, raises his tail in a threatening manner and takes a nip at her hand. Galbraith, accustomed to such behavior, dodges his

sharp teeth.

“It’s like having a 2-yearold all the time,” she said of living with Jack.

“And it’s lots of exercise chasing him around. I wouldn’t recommend a wild exotic animal.”

In the RV they share, Galbraith takes the lower portion.

“He’s got the upper portion but he comes down at night,” she said.

She tries to cheer Jack up by offering him a banana, but still in a foul mood he slaps it to the floor.

She’s unfazed.

“He eats oranges and bananas and he loves spaghetti, snacks, dog food, cheese and hot dogs,” she said.

And, of course, the occasional slug.

Coatimundi are native to Central American but their range extends into Texas and Arizona, she said. In the wild they run in packs, but Jack has never enjoyed that experience.

Galbraith’s mother, in Forks, purchased a pair of

them in Yelm more than 10 years ago. The female, Rosie, died 18 months ago so Gailbraith took Jack off her mother’s hands.

Fortunately, she only has one to deal with.

“They never mated,” she said.

Jack growls to express his displeasure and “squeaks” when he’s happy.

“Generally he’s guarding his territory when he gets snippy,” she said.

All they need to find happiness is something better than the RV to live in. “I’d really like a bigger place for us,” she said.

Jack Lee, a biologist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said there’s “nothing illegal” about owning a coatimundi.

But he was glad to hear of the report from Whidbey.

“It does answer some questions,” he said. “There had been a badger report.”

Come to think if it, Jack does look a bit like a badger, if you could find one curled up on a short stack of couch cushions.

JOB OFFER CONTINUED FROM A1 County has a population of about 82,700 people, contains 1,640 square miles and has a density of 50 people per square mile.

In comparison, Island County’s population in 2010 was about 78,500, with 208 square miles and a density of 377 people per square mile.

Located in southwestern Oregon, Josephine County is bordered by California and is home to the Hellgate Canyon-Rogue River, the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and the Oregon Caves National Monument.

Although the commissioners chose Wechner and agreed to offer him the job in an open public meeting, county officials rejected the News-Times’ requests for his resume

pending his acceptance of the position.

Wechner reportedly has more than 20 years of planning and land-use experience in both the public and private sectors.

He also spent part of his career working in Washington state.

His nomination by the commissioners was unanimous.

Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson said she is also “pleased with the nomination.”

“I thought he did a fine job in answering all of our questions and I look forward to engaging in the negotiation process with him and I hope we can convince him to come on board,” Emerson said.
