Lambert to wear restraints at trial

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Jessie Stensland/Whidbey News-Times

Accused killer Joshua Lambert appears in court June 13 to discuss trial security.

Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill ruled Thursday that accused killer Joshua Lambert is unpredictable and a threat to others.

Churchill ordered security measures even beyond what was recommended by the jail administrator.

Lambert, 31, is accused of killing both of his 80-year-old grandfathers and kidnapping his great aunt. The alleged crimes occurred at two North Whidbey homes on Oct. 3, 2011.

Lambert argues that he’s not guilty by reason of insanity and is acting as his own attorney, which complicates security for the trial. Normally, lawyers are able to approach witnesses, the prosecution, the judge and jury during a trial.

On one hand, the judge is obligated to ensure Lambert has a fair trial. The state Supreme Court ruled that physical restraints on a defendant are inherently prejudicial to a jury, Prosecutor Greg Banks wrote in a motion for courtroom safety protocols.

On the other hand, the high court acknowledges that physical restrains may be necessary in exceptional circumstances.

Banks said restraints should only be used as a “last resort” and that every precaution should be taken to prevent the jury from seeing the restraints.

De Dennis, the jail administrator, testified that Lambert poses a substantial threat to others at trial. He said Lambert wrote in court papers that the “voices” were telling him See TRIAL, A15

County to replace Recovery Services

Conference center throws open doors

Letter: ‘At this point, our confidence in is broken’

There’s something mysterious about the Colonel’s House.

The three-story, colonial-style home with gothic elements sits at the highest elevation on Camp Casey with an expansive view of Puget Sound.

Used exclusively by the president and vice president of Seattle Pacific University, the public was allowed a rare look into the 100-year-old home Friday at Camp Casey’s open house.

The discussion is over.

The Island County Board of Commissioners Monday directed Human Services Chief Jackie Henderson to begin the process of replacing the troubled Island County Recovery Services with a private chemical dependency agency.

Henderson, who brazenly said last week she would refuse such an order, recanted that position.

“I’m trying to compromise, I’m trying to move on,” Henderson said.

Trial of To protect and TO serve murder New Oak Harbor suspect police unit focuses delayed on community

Trial for a 62-year-old pizza man and Antarctic scientist accused of killing his wife was delayed again because of a conflict with another murder trial.

Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock agreed to move the trial for Robert “Al” Baker to Aug. 13.

Trial was originally scheduled for Feb. 25, then rescheduled to July 16.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme asked to have the trial moved so it doesn’t overlap with the July 9 trial of Joshua Lambert, an Oak Harbor man accused of a double murder and kidnapping.

Ohme said the same support personnel will be working on both trials.

Baker faces one count of first-degree murder. He’s accused of killing Kathie Baker and dumping her tarpwrapped body behind their Greenbank home, according to court documents.

Kathie Baker was last seen alive June 2, 2012.

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office started investigating her disappearance after her employer couldn’t get a hold of her.

Her cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head and ligature strangulation.

Investigators found a ball-peen hammer with hair stuck to it in a garbage can in the garage.

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

In an attempt to engage the community more, the Oak Harbor Police Department is relying on some new techniques and old ideas.

Chief Ed Green, who took the job last year, created the Community Service Team a few months ago. The name of the new unit within the police department is selfdescriptive: It’s about serving the community.

Green said he quickly realized after taking the job that the department had issues.

“There was a disconnect between the department and the community,” he said.

“It was really obvious.”

Green said he set out to correct the problem, using the Mount Vernon Police Department’s successful community program as a model.

The chief appointed Mike Bailey, an experienced officer and former police detective, to head the new unit.

The school resources officer, the animal control officer, the traffic officer, the reserve officers and police department volunteers all work under Bailey.

“It’s the sum of what this division is doing. Developing

MAKE OUR FIREWORKS A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION!

partnerships in the community,” he said. “It’s already paying dividends.”

Police officer Jennifer Yzaguirre, an eight-year member of the force who is gifted at public speaking, accepted a pay cut to become the first community service officer. Much of her work is focused on old-fashioned but effective, small-town policing.

Yzaguirre meets with citizen groups, works with volunteers and stops to talk with folks while walking a beat.

“I’m able to meet with merchants and community members on a more personal level and help them with their needs,” she said.

In addition, Yzaguirre is in charge of the department’s social media efforts.

She maintains the Facebook page, which has already helped investigators identify two suspects. She’s working with SpotCrime; it’s a website that uploads 911 reports and allows residents to see where crimes have occurred with the tap of a smart phone.

She’s also helping to create short videos about local law enforcement issues to be broadcast on channel 10.

Yzaguirre said she’s surprised at just how busy the new job keeps her. As word gets out about her new job,

One of her more traditional duties is helping neighborhoods set up block watch programs, which are already becoming popular. Yzaguirre recently spoke at an apartment complex near the police department. She gave a Powerpoint presentation with statistics about crime in the area and tips on how to keep safe, what to watch out for, how to avoid being defrauded and when to call the police.

“It’s not being a nosey neighbor,” she said. “It’s about knowing what’s going on in your neighborhood.”

the residents unloaded on Yzaguirre about their problems, including a rude boy who cuts through the complex.

Yzaguirre also delivers tailor-made presentations to other groups, such as a “how to prevent shoplifting” to downtown merchants.

Because the number had dwindled over the past year, Yzaguirre said she’s working to increase the number of volunteers within the police department. She has 10 now and is hoping for 50 volunteers by year’s end.

Volunteers can’t arrest bad guys, but there’s a myriad other jobs for them.

Yzaguirre said she wants to reenergize a program called Citizens On Patrol, in which volunteers drive around in an old cop car and report suspicious activities.

Yzaguirre explained that the entire volunteer program is now called Citizen Volunteers.

Later this year, the Community Service Team plans to create a Citizen Academy to educate residents about what Oak Harbor police really do.

“People should have the opportunity to have a look inside this building,” Bailey said.

“It shouldn’t be a mystery.”

Although he’s leaving after 26 years in community, Schulte says he will always point back to Oak Harbor

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Outside of Rick Schulte’s new apartment in Richland, he has a view of a barren hillside known as Badger Mountain.

At 1,000 feet elevation, the mountain won’t be mistaken for Mount Baker by Schulte any time soon.

“It’s more of a hill than a mountain,” he said.

Schulte is leaving Oak Harbor for the browner pastures of the Tri-Cities at the end of June, taking on the role as the Richland School District superintendent after serving in that same capacity in the Oak Harbor School

administrative building last Friday. One of the points he wanted to emphasize to the friends, family and longtime associates who came to honor him was that he no longer has to search for answers when asked where he calls home.

“A lot of time, people ask me, ‘Where is your home?’”

Schulte said. “I always say, ‘I grew up in the Midwest.’

That’s not saying where my home is. I never felt like I had a home because I lived in about 12 different cities from the time I was born until the time I stopped in Oak Harbor.”

That was in 1987, the

He’s already been traveling back and forth in recent weeks to the Tri-Cities to survey his new terrain. Yet, one thing Schulte is no longer in search of is a place to call home.

Schulte attended a farewell party in his honor at the Oak Harbor School District

first of six years as assistant superintendent.

“When I came to Oak Harbor, I thought I’d be here five years,” he said. “I’m very surprised I stayed for 26 years and in some ways now even more surprised that I’m leaving. But I do have an answer now. When anybody asks me where your home is,

Oak Harbor is my home.

“They say home is where your heart is. This is where my heart is.”

The claps were long and loud for Schulte. He could scan the room and see many familiar faces from the community from more than two decades leading the Oak Harbor schools.

More than a dozen guests step up to a microphone to share stories about Schulte, including Island County commissioner Jill Johnson and school board members past and present.

They talked about the transformation of the Oak Harbor schools under his leadership, his unflappable character, calm and steady demeanor, uncanny organizational skills, and profound impact on the community.

They also poked fun.

Jan Ellis, longtime chair of Holland Happening, said she hoped he would continue to show up at community celebrations riding a unicycle.

School board member Peter Hunt praised Schulte for his even-keel approach and attention he gave to all.

Schulte is credited with leading the overhaul of new school facilities, including the high school and Wildcat Memorial Stadium. He’s also credited with forging improved relationships with the community, leading to successful levies, including the most recent in February.

“People have a tendency, especially when you’re leaving, to give you all the credit,” Schulte said. “Nothing good happens from one person. It has to be a community effort.

Public meetings set to discuss proposed law-and-justice tax

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The public will get its first chance to weigh in on a prospective $2.6 million lawand-justice levy during community meetings to be held on Whidbey and Camano islands.

The meetings are 7 p.m., Thursday, June 27, at Fire Station No. 25, 2720 S.W. Heller Road on North Whidbey; 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 9 at the Camano Senior Community Center, 606 Arrowhead Road; and 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 10, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 18341 State Highway 525.

Led by Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, the meetings were green-lighted by the commissioners last week following a presentation by members of the Law and Justice Council.

The council adopted a resolution last month urging the board to move forward with a $2.6 million property tax measure. Because of filing deadlines, the measure can now only be run on the November election ballot.

The council’s resolution was presented to the board of commissioners Wednesday.

It was the first time they reviewed it as a group. None of the commissioners pledged concrete support for the levy as proposed, but there was agreement to get community feedback.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she is supportive of putting a levy before

voters but the details of the measure need to be finalized.

Hearing from the public may help fine-tune the request, she said.

“That’s what I’m looking for, not whether or not to put it on the ballot,” Price Johnson said.

Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson said she supports the prospect of obtaining public input but indicated her support may be contingent on a tax break elsewhere.

“At a time when this is such a rough economy, I felt that if we are going to do that ask of the taxpayers that we need to give something back,” Emerson said.

Commissioner Jill Johnson, a member of the law and justice council, said she was included in the decision to pass the resolution and bring it before the board for action.

Johnson added she is not considering the levy as a permanent revenue generator for law and justice. Rather, she is hoping for enough of an economic recovery to occur. If that happens, renewal will not need to be sought when the suggested five-year sunset clause expires.

“I’m personally am not looking at this levy lid-lift to be an ongoing and longterm permanent solution,” Johnson said.

Brown said he is encouraged by the board’s reaction.

He said he is also glad for the opportunity to hold the meetings because it’s a chance for the commissioners to hear directly from the community.

No jail time for Oak Harbor attorney who stole from estate

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A well-known Oak Harbor attorney won’t be able to practice law much longer after pleading guilty to stealing nearly $100,000 from an estate he represented.

Douglas Saar, 39, of Oak Harbor, pleaded guilty in San Juan Superior Court last Friday to one count of firstdegree theft.

The judge agreed with the sentence recommended by both the defense and prosecution as part of a plea bargain.

Saar won’t spend any time in jail. A 60-day sentence was converted to 30 days of electronic home detention and 240 hours of community restitution.

During an interview Monday, Saar said he agreed to go on inactive status with the state Bar Association beginning in July.

“I made mistakes and I used bad judgment,” he said.

Douglas Saar “I’m terribly sorry. I feel terrible about what I did,” he said “I would like to focus on my family going forward.”

San Juan County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord said he felt the sentence was appropriate for several reasons. Saar immediately paid back his client after the theft came to light.

“He said his intention was to borrow the money and not

news briefs Superintendent starts work After a year of revolving interim leaders, the Coupeville School District has a new leader.

Jim Shank, who finished his tenure leading the Juab School District in Utah, started his position as the Coupeville School District superintendent.

His arrival marks the first time since the middle of 2012 that the school district has had a permanent superintendent.

Shank has been involved in school district operations since the Coupeville School Board selected him as superintendent. He visited the school district in April, has been participating in board meetings via Skype and has been working with Interim Superintendent Lisa Bjork in

recent months.

The Coupeville School District has had three interim superintendents since Patty Page resigned at the end of the 2011-2012 school year. The first interim superintendent, Karen Koschak, resigned in early 2013 due to a family issue. Since then, Jerry Jenkins from the Educational Service District and Bjork have filled the superintendent role.

take it permanently,” Gaylord said.

Court records show that Saar was struggling with a foreclosure action.

Gaylord said the victims approved of the sentence.

Plus, pleading to a Class B felony has severe consequences for Saar’s legal career.

Saar’s former partner, attorney Christon Skinner, forced him to withdraw from the law office of Skinner & Saar in February after receiving paperwork detailing alleged improprieties and over-billing by Saar.

Saar allegedly acted as trustee for the Edwin and Emily Upton Trust outside of the law firm and without his knowledge.

Saar is accused of depositing $42,000 from the trust into his own banking account. After another attorney took over the trust and discovered the missing money, Saar told the attorney

he forgot to mention it and gave him a cashier’s check for the money, according to court documents from the Upton case.

Skinner explained in an interview that he looked through other estate cases that Saar handled and discovered “unusual transactions” in the estate of Gwendolyn Carol Wilson, which was handled at the firm’s Friday Harbor office.

Skinner said he asked Saar about the transactions, but Saar didn’t want to discuss it.

Skinner said he referred the information to the San Juan Sheriff’s Office.

The detective wrote in his report that Saar admitted forging four checks, totaling $99,000, from the Wilson estate and depositing the checks into his bank account.

Saar said he plans to start a company that provides ongoing education to lawyers in the state.

Pool fan leads Whidbey league to record numbers

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

For retired Senior Chief Paul Allers, Oak Harbor and billiards go hand in hand.

Allers, who has run the North Whidbey BadAss Pool League since 1998, is raising it to new heights through his passion for billiards and what he jokingly calls, “ADH … look a squirrel!”

“I have a tendency of tunnel vision,” Allers said. “Pool tends to be my squirrel.”

This ability to juggle tasks and take on new projects has driven Allers to lead the league to a record 13 teams with some 70 players this summer.

While 12-14 teams is normal in the winter, BadAss has never had more then eight or so in the summer.

Allers attributes this to a couple of things.

The last end of season tournament was very successful and “people are talking it up,” he said.

Players must play at least 24 games in the regular season to qualify, but once qualified, even the first eliminated players receive some money.

The top prize varies based on the number of leagues and players, but winners can take home up to $200. Each player pays $5 per game through the season, which is collected for prize money, a buffet and team plagues at the season’s end.

Allers also receives $10 per player per season to run the league and track the stats.

While the BadAss league remains the “fun” league, three years ago Allers started a local installation of the Billiards Congress of America Pool League, where players can qualify to compete in local and regional competitions for cash.

Allers said he believes that attracting more serious players through the BCA may be overflowing into the BadAss league, increasing the quantity and quality of its players.

Despite the demands of organizing two pool leagues, Allers also finds time to work on any number of artistic

Jo Jo’s Harbor Light Tavern Team Captain Scott “O.C.” Rodich, who’s grandfather was “a hustler of sorts,” is one of many local players who uses one of Aller’s hand-made pool cues.

“They’re good sticks and relatively cheap,” said Rodich, who has played pool

all his life. “It’s a unique game - it’s you against the other guy, but it’s always different. And there’s no one but yourself to blame if you screw up.”

The league has gone through a few changes over the years, existing as the Whidbey Men’s Pool League in the 90s. Then a secondary summer league was created in 2004 under the moniker BadAss Pool League. The two were merged in 2009 to create the current pool league that plays year round.

“I started playing when I was a pipsqueak,” Snyder said, who served 10 years in the Navy and retired in 2008. “It’s funner when you win, but it’s fun when you play. And, you learn from the other players … I have dramatically changed the way I shoot.”

As for Allers, who served as a Navy P3 flight technician, he has been playing pool since the day he arrived at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in 1996.

A fateful visit to the Chief’s Club yielded two important friendships for Allers.

Retired Master Chief Warren Hagsten and club bartender Dani Hinshaw invited him to play and showed him the ropes.

“He used to be our rack boy and now we’re racking for him,” said Hinshaw who still plays on the American Legion team with Hagsten and Allers.

“He’s become so good,” she said. “So now the shoe’s on the other foot.”

The BadAss pool league plays at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday nights at Jo Jo’s Harbor Light Tavern, Oak Harbor Tavern, All Sports Pub and Grill, the Foreign Legion, all in Oak Harbor and at the Anchor Inn in Anacortes.

Letters promoting ideas, discussion get higher priority publisher’s column

By Keven R. Graves

Whidbey News-Times readers are extremely passionate about their newspaper.

I learned that pretty quickly.

Coming from a community that wasn’t as engaged or as willing to share opinions, I have a great appreciation for this strong sense of ownership.

I also learned that News-Times readers don’t hold back when they don’t like something I’ve written or a

policy I’ve enforced.

Case in point, I received a complaint this week after I published a “thank you” letter without the long list of businesses attached to the end.

Opinion pages are valuable real estate in any community newspaper that enjoys an engaged readership.

The space is intended to be a forum for healthy debate and an exchange of ideas.

Rather than be forced to hold letters over, we aim to get as many of them as possible into each edition of the newspaper.

Because I respect those readers who take time to write and submit their opinions, I tend to be less rigid on length, though extremely long letters may be returned to the writers for additional editing.

A letter that doesn’t offer an opinion or lend itself to a discussion isn’t going to be as high on the list of letters awaiting publication.

Publishing letters with a list of businesses attached is problematic for several reasons. First, as I mentioned, there’s often other letters in the queue waiting to be published.

Second, a newspaper is a business, one that relies on advertising to employ professionals to gather news, write articles, produce the paper and get it to homes and on newsstands on time. An opinion page shouldn’t be an avenue for free advertising.

Lastly, once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it’s nearly impossible to get it back in. One long list begets another, and then another.

Do readers want to comb through a list of names on their letters page? I suspect not.

Are “thank you” lists important? You bet. But there are more appropriate areas of the newspaper for them to appear.

Letters to the editor County

Commissioners need to talk biz, not religion Editor, It is good to know that the issue of prayer at the Board of Island County Commissioners meetings has been put to rest — at least for the time being.

Unfortunately, with Kelly Emerson and Jill Johnson’s stated agendas, this probably won’t be the last that we hear of it.

The fact is that there is no place for anyone’s particular religious superstitions to be interjected into the affairs of our government procedures.

The Washington state Constitution is very clear about this. The fact that we see it ignored all too often, doesn’t change that.

For Kelly Emerson to have wasted our time and money by suggesting this prayer nonsense in the first

place was outrageous enough, but Jill Johnson’s reasons for changing her position on this issue revealed a depth of insensitivity, arrogance and religious bigotry that was astounding.

Separation of church and state wasn’t her reason, the thought that “turned her stomach” was that maybe someone would want to have a prayer included that was from a religion other than her own.

Her bigoted “my way or the highway” attitude was revealed by statements like: “she wasn’t willing to sit through a prayer to another god or a watered down god” and “for me sitting up there hearing someone pray to a god that’s not my god ... is something I am unwilling to compromise on.”

As a resident and taxpayer, thus one of their many employers, may I suggest that Kelly Emerson and Jill Johnson keep their theological musings to their lunch breaks and personal time (Matthew 6:5-7), stop goofing off on the job with this inappropriate religious diversion and get

R. Duncan Bond Langley

County needs to focus on business, not prayer Editor, William Burnett’s letter to the editor regarding Kelly Emerson’s wishing to start the commissioners’ meeting with prayer shows precisely why it should never have been proposed.

1. There’s no good reason to change the status quo. The civility Emerson wishes the prayers to bring should already be a matter of course.

2. It creates unnecessary controversy and takes time away from more important matters.

3. It wastes taxpayers’ money.

I would like for the commissioners to focus on county business.

OLF

Stubborn stance will be group’s downfall Editor, I was taught at an early age to guard your freedom that this nation provides at all cost and that freedom is not inherited without cost. That cost comes in responsible exercise of that freedom that you inherit along with the consequences that follows.

The recent escalation of comments and actions of a local Central Whidbey citizens group expressing uncompromising opposition to the Navy’s continued field operations at Outlying Field Coupeville I view as a threat to our national security therefore as a threat to those freedom I refer to. I use the term escalation because this opposition began as an issue of aircraft noise impact on encroaching residential property surrounding OLF Coupeville, it has now advanced to an uncompromising demand that the facility be shut down altogether.

I understand Naval aircraft noise impact on residential property as we reside under the down wind leg of the northern approach to the OLF. What I don’t understand is the uncompromising demand to shut down a military facility impacting national security at a time it is being commented on 24/7 lately. If these citizens were agents of a potential adversary I might somewhat understand, but not self professed loyal citizens who say they respect the military as a necessary profession.

Why then this uncompromising stance as the only acceptable solution to the noise impact problem?

It has been said, if this republic is to fail it will fail from within.

Thomas Strang Coupeville

Larsen should support all his constituents Editor, This is an open Letter to Congressman Rick Larsen.

I am in tears as I write this, EA-18G “growlers” overhead, trying to remember why on earth I voted for you in the last election. The growlers you brought to Whidbey Island have been flying low, over our house, just above the trees, all afternoon. I haven’t had any sleep for the last two nights, as the planes flew until after midnight. As I anticipate no sleep again tonight, I am jittery and stressed waiting for the next onslaught.

Whose “representative” do you purport to be? Surely not that of my husband, whose hearing has deteriorated at an incredible rate since the growlers began terrorizing the population of Central Whidbey Island. Surely not that of the school children who play outside at recess and after school at home or at Rhododendron Park

Page A7

Island scanner

while their hearing is being permanently damaged. Surely not that of the 6-year-old son of a worker at our recycle center who woke up in the night screaming when the planes were overhead so frequently that his parents decided to move. Surely not that of the father of that child who now commutes from Freeland to the Coupeville recycle center, and works outside right under the flight path. Surely not that of the farmers who can’t work outside without ear protection (which only helps so much) because of the noise.

The health (physical and mental) of the citizens is being compromised. I wake up edgy, wondering how many flights will interrupt my activities, my sleep, and my conversations (even inside the house with the windows closed).

As you must know, the decibels are WAY over what is safe for humans and other living things.

Because of you, the health of our pets, farm animals, and wildlife is deteriorating. They can’t wear ear protection and are innocent and vulnerable. My dogs run around in circles and bark at the sky when the growlers are flying. They look to us to stop the noise, and we can’t.

Something needs to change. Who is going to reimburse us for our ear muffs, hearing aids, hearing aid batteries, loss in property values, tranquilizers and other medications, and loss of life and property when a plane crashes in our “accident potential zone”? The Navy’s own data shows that it is unsafe to live under these conditions.

The island is losing business. The owner of a recording studio way down in Langley has said he can’t record when the jets are flying. A farmer I know helplessly watched as two carloads of tourists pulled into their farm to buy food, heard the jets overhead, and piled back in the cars and left without purchasing the produce they had come to enjoy.

This happens regularly. There are documented cases of real estate agents losing sales once the prospective buyers heard the jets. The B&Bs and hotels/motels are losing business. Word travels fast when visitors’ nights are interrupted by the noise, preventing sleep and relaxation.

Why are you promoting all of this? How can you in good conscience exhort the Navy to bring more loud jets, with total disregard for the health and well-being of your constituents? Who are you actually representing? Why can’t the growlers move to somewhere like China Lake in California or other less populated areas? China Lake even has infrastructure in place, and the residents welcome the jets.

Please reconsider. I have a pile of papers and reports a foot high documenting the damage being perpetuated on the good people of the Ebey’s Reserve. You have really disappointed your fellow Democrats in our town.

Whidbey General Hospital employees spoke during a recent commissioner meeting about working conditions.

Employees from Whidbey Coffee visit Whidbey General Hospital while announcing a partnership with the hospital foundation to raise money for a breast MRI machine. Whidbey Coffee is matching dollar for dollar any contributions to a Whidbey General Hospital Foundation’s fundraising campaign.

Whidbey Coffee pledges matching funds for new breast MRI machine Whidbey Coffee announced Monday it is partnering with the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation in the fight against breast cancer.

Whidbey Coffee said it will match dollar for dollar any contributions to the foundation’s Breast MRI Fundraising Campaign made during July 2013 at any of its Whidbey Island store locations in Clinton, Freeland and Oak Harbor.

Hospital medical staff identified breast MRI scan and biopsy equipment as the missing diagnostic tools needed for a comprehensive breast program at Whidbey General.

It is well-documented that a woman’s chances of survival are better if the cancer is detected early, before it spreads to other parts of the body.

In fact, when breast cancer is found early and confined to the breast, the five-year rela-

tive survival rate today is 99 percent.

Early detection is the key, according to health experts.

Dan Ollis, president/owner of Whidbey Coffee said he was eager to help in the fight against cancer.

“Whidbey Coffee has been a part of cancer fighting causes for years, and to have the opportunity to help my local hometown cuts straight to my heart,” he said.

“I believe our customers will want to help us in getting the best tools available for Island women.”

Whidbey Coffee will match its customers’ gifts up to $2,500, but reserves the right to raise the maximum matching limit.

Whidbey General Hospital staff speaks out on long hours, pay

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A group of Whidbey General Hospital employees attended the June 10 hospital commissioner meeting to express concerns about long hours they work, often days at a time with no days off or no vacation, and their less-than-average wages.

Around 40 people, many of whom work in the hospital’s laboratory, attended the monthly meeting to address the commissioners.

“They are worthy of an increase in a cost of living and worthy of no reduction in benefits,” said Pat Lamont, who retired 10 days ago after working at Whidbey General Hospital for 38 years.

She added that the management team is more concerned about numbers.

Sue Landusky, who works

as a phlebotomist, said the lab lost staffing in recent months, and the hospital needs to hire higher qualified staff and retain current staff.

Others spoke during the Monday evening hospital commissioner meeting claimed the average wages are $4 to $5 dollars less per hour than at other hospitals.

They said employees are working an extended number of days without a time off or a vacation.

The hospital’s laboratory is short staffed, they said.

The lab has 31 employee currently working, which is seven employees short of a full staff.

Whidbey General’s Chief Operating Officer Hank Hanigan said temporary workers are filling vacancies.

Hospital CEO Tom Tomasino said he met with current staff to discuss

the situation and hospital’s recruiting efforts.

Three new lab employees were hired and four more need to be found.

Others attending advocated maintaining the continuing education reimbursement because of the high cost involved.

Some employees must complete 40 hours of continuing education in order to maintain their license. One employee noted that a sixhour class cost $625.

Hospital administrators re negotiating a new contract with the union that represents technicians and support staff — UFCW 21.

Audience members were rankled by the more than 40-minute executive session hospital commissioners scheduled in the middle of the meeting to discuss potential litigation.

Babe Ruth team wins 1 of 4 The Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball team collected one win in four games at the Lynden Tournament Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday Oak Harbor fell to the Seattle Rainiers 10-2 and Bellevue 6-3, and Sunday Oak Harbor defeated the Diamond Dogs 11-8 before losing to the Abbottsford Angels 6-0.

Sloppy defense hurt Oak Harbor Saturday as it committed 13 errors in the two games, eight coming in the opening loss to the Rainiers. Seattle and Bellevue combined for no errors.

Oak Harbor also failed to generate much offense against the Rainiers in the five-inning loss; Chris Levy recorded the only hit, a tworun single in the fourth.

The Rainiers, who were also aided by 10 Oak Harbor walks, scored two runs in the first and fourth innings and three in the second and third to pull away.

In the seventh, Paul Spence tripled and scored on Paul Southerland’s ground out.

Spence finished the game 3-for-3 and Benson was 2-for-2.

Oak Harbor’s first run came in the second.

Robert Herring reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball and stole home.

Running club focuses on fitness The North Whidbey Park and Recreation District’s Whidbey Island Running Club expanded its focus to overall fitness.

The club is geared for youngsters 3 to 15, but coaches will work with older athletes on an individual level if requested.

By allowing 3-year-olds to take part, the club provides fitness opportunities for kids too young for other organized sports to work in a team setting. This is accomplished through relays, games, obstacle courses, stretching drills and little runs, according to coach Megan Hall.

The switch in focus is popular, Hall said, and the club is expanding.

Hall said the change is “a way to motivate kids to move in a fun way while learning.”

The club meets from 3:45-5 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the ball field next to John Vanderzicht Pool.

The first two weeks are free.

The next big event is a field day July 20 at the North Whidbey Middle School track.

Signup is at 9:30 a.m. and the events begin at 10. The field day will including running events, field events and games.

For more information about the club, contact Hall at 360-678-6637 or wirchall@gmail. com, or coach Curtis Vieke at 360-929-4967 or curtvieke@yahoo.com.

Tom and Sharon Vos share a rare moment of relaxation on their backyard patio that overlooks Saratoga Passage. The Vos’ Langley property is one of four residential gardens featured this year on the Whidbey Island Garden Tour, which takes place June 22.

A peek at paradise Langley couple’s property blends Northwest, Asia into landscape

By RON NEWBERRY

A Staff reporter

s the sun peeked over a tree line of evergreen firs, Tom and Sharon Vos relaxed in two teak chairs on their back patio.

When there are no clouds in the sky, Mount Baker can be seen poking its top to the east. But on this day, even though the mountain was covered, the moment couldn’t have been more serene with waves of pink peonies in bloom, lace-leaf maples showing their brilliant green and a nearby waterfall crashing on to stone.

Tom and Sharon Vos built this paradise but have found that it’s a rare occasion when they can actually stop and enjoy it.

“We don’t spend a lot of time sitting,” Tom said.

For Sharon, who’s a painter, their Langley property just shy of 3 acres started as a blank canvas about eight years ago. But through some masterful strokes, and some great attention to detail, the Voses have created a work that is both beautiful and inspiring.

The Vos’ property was selected as one of four residential gardens that will be part of the Whidbey Island Garden Tour Saturday.

The tour is one of two separately-run garden tours happening on Whidbey Island

over the next two Saturdays.

The Garden Tour and Tea, sponsored by the Oak Harbor Garden Club, is set for June 29.

Each is a self-guided tour that requires ticket purchases to gain access to the designated properties.

The Whidbey Island Garden Tour is in its 18th year. It is run by volunteers and is part of a nonprofit group formed in 1996. The group provides funding to local groups that work to improve the island’s habitat.

damaged beyond repair.

“What we have here is a divorce,” she said.

“The hope that I had that we would be able to negotiate through this, mediate through this, ended a long time ago,” she added.

“The part that is disappointing for the three of us, I think, is that this problem reached us too late.”

Justin Burnett/Whidbey News-Times

Island County Human Services Director Jackie Henderson addresses the Board of Commissioners Monday concerning an ongoing discussion about the county’s drug and alcohol treatment provider. The board voted to seek proposals for a replacement in the private sector.

RECOVERY SERVICES CONTINUED FROM A1 THE COUNTY-RUN drug and alcohol center, a division of human services, came under fire for a pattern of errors and practices that are not in compliance with state law.

The center’s certification with the state is threatened, and Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks last week announced a moratorium on the acceptance of any new Drug Court clients until “there is a reliable and effective treatment provider for our participants.”

Drug Court officials urged the board to direct Henderson to seek proposals from other private agencies in the hopes of improving service.

THE BOARD proposed a reconciliation between recovery services and Drug Court officials this past Wednesday, but it appears now a truce was never possible.

In a letter submitted last week to the commissioners, Superior Court judges Alan Hancock and Vickie Churchill, Banks and Court Administrator Brooke Powell said the problems would not disappear.

“At this point, our confidence in (Recovery Services) is broken,” the letter said.

“We do not believe any negotiation, meeting, or memorandum of understanding will effectuate the necessary change for a competent treatment provider.”

IN RESPONSE to the letter, as well as an article published in Saturday’s Whidbey New-Times detailing the many problems at the embattled treatment center, Island County Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson asked to

revisit the issue Monday.

Emerson said she was “disappointed” by the decision last week.

Unless it can justify not acting immediately, Emerson said she believes the board has little choice but to immediately seek a new treatment provider.

“I cannot justify that it’s not in the best interest of the people to go out for the privatesector bids,” Emerson said.

“It’s my belief that we should direct Jackie Henderson, the director of the human services department, to begin the RFP process.”

HENDERSON SAID her reasoning for not wanting to pursue the proposal-seeking process is the state budget is undecided and federal funding sources are uncertain.

“Drug Court wants the best possible provider, I want the best possible provide, I know you want the best possible provider,” Henderson said.

“I am willing to write the RFP of my life but we have to have good information.”

With no concrete answers, the outcome may be a fruitless search for an alternate treatment provider or ending up with an agency only to learn later that there is less money available to adequately fund the service.

“That’s a very real possibility,” she said COMMISSIONER JILL Johnson, who suggested reconciliation last week, said she did so believing the relationship could be salvaged.

Since then, it’s become clear it cannot.

She likened the situation to a marriage she believed was on the rocks when, in fact, it’s

COMMISSIONER Helen Price Johnson argued it is irresponsible to move forward as proposed with so

many uncertainties.

She expressed concern for existing patients.

Only a small portion of the approximately 250 clients at recovery services are drug court participants.

The vast majority are relying on the provider now for help, she argued, and they shouldn’t be abandoned for problems with Drug Court.

“I don’t want the tail wagging the dog here,” Price Johnson said.

She questioned whether her colleagues did their due

Page A13

diligence and visited the treatment center in person before casting their support for such a measure.

The comment did not sway her fellow commissioners.

“I DON’T actually get offended very easily in this job but we may have just done it,” said Johnson, with a smile.

This was not about employees, she said, but about “report after report” from the state about performance failures.

It goes beyond the problems surrounding Drug Court, she said.

“What we as commissioners have to do now that we have this information is hold our programs and employees accountable for performance behaviors.”

Several versions of a motion to move forward were discussed.

Ultimately, the board voted 2-1, with Price Johnson opposed, to proceed immediately with the request for proposal process.

“It really is cement.

Michigan is glacier-formed, too. But this is completely different.”

She and her husband of 48 years dug in, starting with a blank canvas, and have painted a masterpiece.

They amended the soils, brought in the stone for hardscaping, then scoured local nurseries for native plants and others that appealed to their senses.

They continue to tinker.

It’s hard to sit still.

“I am a painter,” Sharon said. “I work on a lot of the same principles. You have a palette of a lot of plants.

Here you have a composition. There’s really not a lot of difference in how you do a painting.”

The Colonel’s House at Camp Casey, a colonial revival-style home with gothic elements, was completed in 1904 as part of Fort Casey.

CAMP CASEY CONTINUED FROM A1 for the open space, they can come for the green, they can come for the history.”

Despite all the progress SPU has made, including a newly renovated mess hall, there still is a long way to go, Myers said. For that reason, she said they hope to make the open house an annual event, to help raise awareness and money to continue upgrades.

“We love history, and we’re really into the old houses,” said Barb Johnston, who traveled up from Everett with her husband Chuck for the open house. As an SPU alum, Johnson has stayed in other buildings at Camp Casey, and she used to camp there as a child. “So we’ve always wanted to come inside (the Colonel’s House),” she said.

Guests were also allowed into the Sea Lab, a marine biology teaching center which is normally only available to school groups. The dozen or so aquariums in the Sea Lab are home to various types of Puget Sound sea life including starfish and sunfish, sea pickles, crab and sea urchin.

Keith Ludemann, a retired Navy jet mechanic who built the Sea Lab from the ground up, has been working there 32 years now.

“The reward is seeing

these kids,” Ludemann said.

“Getting them to understand that this is what’s out there.”

Camp Casey, originally known as Fort Casey, opened in 1890 by the U.S. Military.

Fort Casey, along with Fort Worden in Port Townsend and Fort Flagler in Nordland, became part of the “triangle of fire” to protect the entrance to Puget Sound. Within 20 years, Fort Casey was the fourth largest military post in Washington, housing 10 officers and 428 enlisted men.

Fort Casey was decommissioned after World War

II, and SPU purchased the Camp Casey portion of the property. The fort itself along with the lighthouse, batteries and surrounding costal property are owned and operated

by Washington State Parks as Fort Casey.
