Oak Harbor responding to OLF suit with pro-Navy campaign

By JESSIE STENSLAND AND JANIS REID Staff reporters

Oak Harbor is responding to complaints about jet noise on Central Whidbey with displays of support for the base.

The Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce has started a “Jets = Jobs” campaign.

Wendy Shingleton, owner of Squadron Spirit Custom Apparel and Gifts on Ault Field Road, sells pro-base and OLF supporting bumper stickers and T-shirts.

Members of the Oak Harbor City Council approved the mayor’s proposal for a resolution supporting the Navy’s training flights.

In the cyberworld, a Facebook page in support of training flights is quickly gaining popularity. The page is called “I

Lawsuit aims to reinstate Emerson as chairwoman JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor resident Joshua Lambert becomes violent in court and is forcibly removed by deputies during trial Tuesday. He was convicted Thursday of murdering both of his grandfathers and kidnapping his great-aunt. He faces life in prison.

Jury finds Lambert guilty on all counts

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Joshua David Lambert will almost certainly spend the rest of his life behind bars as a convicted double murderer.

A jury found Lambert guilty Thursday on all counts, which include two counts of first-degree murder, one count of kidnapping and several burglary and gun charges.

The jurors rejected Lambert’s defense that he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and was legally insane when he stabbed his two 80-year-old grandfathers to death and bound his great-aunt with packing tape on Oct. 3, 2011.

Prosecutor Greg Banks argued Lambert committed the horrendous and senseless crimes in the midst of a methamphetamine-induced psychotic episode.

The jury returned the verdict Thursday afternoon, after deliberating for about six hours.

Banks said Lambert is virtually guaranteed to receive a life sentence, especially since jurors found that he committed a series of aggravating factors, which increase the sentence substantially. The minimum time the 32-year-old man faces under the See convicted, A5

A frequent critic of politicians and the media, Oak Harbor resident and Oak Harbor School Board candidate Bill Burnett is asking the courts to compel the Island County Board of Commissioners to reinstate Kelly Emerson as chairwoman.

Burnett, acting as his own attorney, filed the “complaint for declaratory judg- BURNETT: ment and injunc- Refers to the board tive relief” against majority as “The the board of com- Johnson & Johnmissioners, as well son Gong Show as Commissioner Revival.”

Helen Price Johnson and Commissioner Jill Johnson specifically.

BURNETT IS asking that the court order the board of commissioners to reinstate Emerson and issue an injunction stopping the board from any actions while “an illegally elected chair” is presiding over meetings.

Burnett is arguing that the two commissioners acted outside the law in removing Emerson as the chairperson earlier this month and replacing her with “a firstterm, first-year commissioner who would not normally be eligible for the chair See suing, A10

The pizza man and Antarctic scientist accused of killing his wife in Greenbank last year will go to trial Aug. 13.

Robert “Al” Baker, a 62-year-old Greenbank resident, is facing one count of first-degree murder in the death of Kathie Baker.

Tom Pacher, the attorney representing Baker, asked Judge Alan Hancock during a hearing in Island County Superior Court Monday to once again delay the trial, suggesting a date in October.

Pacher is currently representing Joshua Lambert in a double-murder and kidnapping trial that began two weeks ago and wrapped up this week. He said he’s had serious health issues lately and requested a couple extra months to prepare for the Baker trial.

“I feel I could do a better job on his behalf if we had more time,” he said.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme, who’s handling

the Baker case, told the judge that he’s ready for trial and sent out subpoenas, but that he understood Pacher’s concerns.

Hancock ruled that Pacher’s explanation for seeking a continuance isn’t good enough, which means trial will continue as scheduled, with jury selection beginning Aug. 13.

The trial was rescheduled three times already. The last time, Ohme asked for the trial to be moved forward a month so that it didn’t overlap with the Lambert trial.

Baker, who’s being held in the county jail, appeared at the brief hearing Monday.

Baker and his wife owned Harbor Pizzeria in Freeland. They met at a scientific research station in Antarctica, where they both had worked for Raytheon Corporation.

Kathie Baker was last seen alive June 2, 2012. Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office started investigating her disappearance after Kathie’s boss at Raytheon Corporation in

Denver reported that he couldn’t get hold of her.

After finding bloody drag marks in the house and getting contradictory stories from Baker about his wife’s whereabouts, detectives obtained a search warrant for the home, according to court documents.

Baker was arrested June 9, 2012.

Investigators found Kathie’s tarp-wrapped body in a ravine behind their home. Her cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head and ligature strangulation, according to the county coroner. Investigators found a ball-peen hammer with hair stuck to it in a garbage can in the garage, court documents indicate.

A detective’s report on the case indicates that the motive for the alleged murder may have been another woman. Baker’s alleged mistress was staying with him at his Greenbank home soon after Kathie was murdered, court documents state.

Aid for autism

Additional runway closure announced

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Oak Harbor mother starts nonprofit group

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor businesswoman is starting a nonprofit organization to assist the local autistic and disabled community.

Owner of La Lonnie’s Notions on Pioneer Way — and the mother of an autistic son — Lonnie Schopen has applied for nonprofit status as Autism Resources of Oak Harbor.

The application is pending.

The goal, Schopen said, is “to give back to autistic and special needs children, and help families who need help.”

“But we want to keep it local,” she added.

Schopen is organizing a 5K run and event 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sept. 21, at Windjammer Park entitled “Get Your Feet Wet for Autism Awareness.”

The event’s intention is to raise money to include new autism and special-needsfriendly playground equipment at Windjammer Park.

Moving forward, Schopen would like the organization and the event to be a gathering place for resources, fundraising and assistance for families with special needs children. Schopen’s inspiration is her autistic son Jayson, who is now 21. In addition to helping families with autistic children of all ages, Shopen

Lonnie Schopen, owner of La Lonnie’s notions on Pioneer Way, is inspired by her autistic son Jayson to organize the Get Your Feet Wet for Autism Awareness 5k run at Windjammer Park Sept. 21. she’s also interested in starting an adult daycare for those with developmental disabilities.

“It’s all about the kids and the families,” Schopen said.

As a Navy family, the Schopens are part of the Exceptional Family Member program administered through Naval Hospital Oak Harbor. As a category five base, military families have a number of programs available to them and are assigned a case worker to assist them.

For instance, a new program offered by military insurance, Tricare, offers specialty therapy for autistic children through the ECHO program, according to Anita Giannaris, social worker with Naval Hospital.

That said, Giannaris said the Naval Hospital is hoping to continue to partner with other island community services to ensure that both mili-

Walker’s

tary and non-military families are aware of Oak Harbor, Island County and military services.

“As far as what this community needs, that’s a longer list,” Giannaris said.

Giannaris said specialized playground equipment would be “amazing” for the Oak Harbor community because autistic and special-needs children often have sensory issues that can be addressed with equipment designed toward their needs and development.

In efforts to make her September event a success, Schopen is partnering with Island County Family Resources to ensure that all the right resource providers and vendors will be attending the event.

Family Resources Coordinator Rene Denman said that recently the county has created an Autism

Taskforce with the charge of corralling resources for families facing autism.

Denman said she is eager to participate in “Get Your Feet Wet for Autism Awareness” because it will be a great way to combine the Schopen’s goals and the mission of the taskforce.

Shopen said she has scheduled a meeting with Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley and Parks Director Hank Nydam in the coming weeks to discuss placement of the new disability-friendly playground equipment at Windjammer Park. Since her nonprofit status is still pending, Schopen hopes to partner with other local nonprofits to assist in fundraising.

Just days after announcing the closure of Outlying Field Coupeville’s runway till the end of the calendar year, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station said this week another runway closure will be closed temporarily.

From Aug. 5 to Sept. 20, Ault Field at NAS Whidbey will have only one operational runway for flight operations, according to a press release issued by the base.

NAS Whidbey Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding said the closure of Runway 14 will have only minor impacts on scheduling and operations.

Pilot training should not be impacted, he said.

“Typically, the base uses one runway at a time at Ault Field,” Welding said. “The runway that does get used is based on winds. This type of work is scheduled during periods when winds are lightest, thereby minimizing potential impacts.”

The runway at Ault Field will close for the installation of a new arresting gear system, restricting aircraft to northeast or southwest take off and landing headings, according to a news release.

Navy officials also said that the approaches will potentially cause more frequent use of the operational runway with increased

traffic over western Skagit County, Mount Vernon, La Conner, northern Island County and Lopez Island.

The arresting gear system doesn’t replace the arresting gear, Welding said.

“The current system uses rubber donuts that suspend the wire over the runway,” Welding said. “The new system will feature a pneumatic actuator that will raise and lower the gear cable on command from the Air Traffic Control Tower. This will result in fewer arresting gear system malfunctions as there will be fewer incidents of heavy aircraft landing on the cable.”

The Ault Field closure comes on the heels of the Navy’s announcement that it suspended field carrier landing practice operations at OLF Coupeville until the end of the calendar year.

Operations will still be conducted at Ault Field, which could impact take off and landing schedules there.

Welding said the Navy has been working on replacing the arresting system for several years, and that the closure is unrelated to the OLF closure.

Prepping for festive event

Coordinators of Oak Harbor Music Festival busy gathering volunteers

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

In a little more than a month, downtown Oak Harbor will be transformed into a music festival with 30 bands performing on two different stages over three days.

But none of that would be possible without an army of volunteers.

Since January, an organizing committee has been meeting weekly to gear up for the second Oak Harbor Music Festival, which takes place Aug. 30 to Sept. 1.

Lynn Goebel and Kathy Chalfant have been tasked with coordinating the volunteers for the free community event, which is funded through donations.

Goebel and Chalfant held a meeting Thursday night at Oak Harbor City Hall, where 27 people signed up to help volunteer.

More than 100 people have enlisted so far to volunteer, and the search is far from finished.

“You’re putting on a festival. It’s an enormous amount of work,” Goebel said.

Goebel said volunteers are needed to staff two information booths, where they can answer questions and sell T-shirts. Shifts range from two-to-four hours.

Also needed will be a sanitation crew to keep the festival grounds clean, security and attendants at the parking lots and beer gardens. They will need stage greeters.

“The biggest thing is Friday (Aug. 30) we are going to need all kinds of volunteers to set up for the festival,” Goebel said. “We’re going to need all kinds of volunteers Saturday to set up.

And Sunday night, to clean up.”

CONVICTED CONTINUED FROM A1 standard sentencing range is 67.5 years.

Lambert’s sentencing hearing hasn’t been set, but will likely be in the next month. Of course, Lambert will almost certainly appeal.

On Oct. 3, 2011, Lambert went on a frenzied search for guns to save his teenage son from non-existent “agents” and ended up killing both of his grandfathers.

Lambert stabbed his paternal grandfather, George Lambert, to death, tied up his great aunt Kay Gage with packing tape, and stabbed to death his maternal grandfather, August Eugene “Sonny” Eisner.

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

Lambert granted a series of jailhouse interviews to the News-Times prior to trial. He explained the complex delusions he claimed to have on the day of the murders, as well as the voices that continue to plague him.

Thursday, attorneys and citizens who watched the trial agreed it was a predictable ending to a very unpredictable trial.

Lambert wasn’t in the courtroom for the verdict, but appeared from the jail on a large-screen TV with a video connection. Judge Vickie Churchill removed him from the court because of his continued angry out-

bursts, which culminated in a courtroom fight with guards Tuesday.

Psychologist Brian Judd, an expert witness for the prosecution, testified this week that he believed Lambert was delusional on the day of the murders, but that it was caused by shooting up methamphetamine.

He noted Lambert’s extensive drug history, the fact that he was caught with hypodermic needles and jailhouse conversations Lambert had with his mother.

Judd also said Lambert likely exaggerated and embellished the symptoms.

Lambert became upset Tuesday afternoon when Judd testified that he didn’t believe that Lambert was schizophrenic or legally insane at the time of the murders. He testified that Lambert didn’t exhibit any of the typical characteristics, such as a “flat affect” and “a poverty of words.”

Lambert interrupted the testimony, claiming that Judd was misstating the facts.

Churchill halted the testimony and excused the jury.

Lambert continued to challenge Judd, saying he was going to report him to the licensing authority.

Lamber t suddenly became violent, trying to throw a punch at a guard.

He was immediately wrestled to the ground by

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

three corrections deputies, Detective Ed Wallace, Jail Administrator De Dennis, and the bailiff, Dave Penrod. Even Sheriff Mark Brown, who happened to be in the audience, jumped into the fray.

Deputies handcuffed Lambert and took him out of the courtroom.

Churchill explained what had occurred for the record, explaining that Lambert created “violence in the courtroom.” She said he could not return.

Lambert was taken to the jail, where he watched the rest of the trial over a video feed.

He was replaced in the courtroom with a largescreen TV which broadcast his image for the jury to see.

Churchill had ordered extraordinar y security procedures for the trial after finding that Lambert was unpredictable and a safety risk. He had many outbursts during pre-trial hearings; he even lost his temper and called the judge and prosecutor names on several occasions.

Lambert wasn’t allowed to leave the defense table during the trial, even when he was acting as his own attorney. He was surrounded by two corrections deputies and a bailiff for security.

He wore a leg brace and was later tethered to the table.

Last week, Churchill ruled he could no longer act as his own attorney after he continued to ask a witness inappropriate questions and

Page A5

argued with the judge’s rulings in front of the jury.

She ordered the standby attorney, Tom Pacher, to take over.

Pacher appealed to the juror’s sense of humanity in his closing arguments Wednesday. He opened with, “We never talk anymore.”

Pacher highlighted evidence that Lambert has a mental illness, which included talking to himself in prison. His behavior was so odd that a guard tried to get him a mental health assessment.

Pacher argued that Lambert’s mental health problems were compounded by his stay at an abusive boot camp for boys in Samoa and more than four years in solitary confinement in prison.

“Josh Lambert definitely has something wrong in his head,” he said.

Pacher didn’t try to soften Lambert’s difficult personality, but argued that it shouldn’t matter.

“Frankly Josh is not an easy guy to like,” he said.

“He’s contentious, he’s argumentative, he blurts out things.”

Finally, Pacher emphasized the lack of evidence that Lambert was on meth

on the day of the murders.

He also questioned the prosecutor’s experts; they cited the fact that Lambert hadn’t previously reported his delusional symptoms to authorities and his recent insistence that he’s insane as evidence against a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

“If you’ve read Joseph Heller’s ‘Catch-22,’ you’ll appreciate this,” he said.

“If you don’t tell us you’re mentally ill, you’re not mentally ill. If you tell us you’re mentally ill, you’re not mentally ill.”

Banks, on the other hand, explained during his closing arguments that it’s not the state’s burden to prove that Lambert was sane; it’s up to the defense to prove he was legally insane at the time of the murders.

One of the elements of the insanity defense is the question of whether Lambert understood right from wrong.

Banks said it was clear he did from his actions that day. Lambert, for example, didn’t kill his great aunt, but tied her up, even though he claimed he was authorized to kill by a voice in his head.

“That was an example of mercy,” Banks said. “And if he showed mercy, he knew right from wrong.”

Loganberry Fest begins Saturday Horses, dogs and birds will highlight the annual Loganberry Festival, which takes place July 27 and July 28 at the Greenbank Farm.

Three falconers will be on hand to demonstrate their birds and their benefit to agriculture. Along with the falcons, Greg Lange and his horses will provide plowing demonstrations on the farm fields and he will answer questions from curious festival goers.

Equestrian Crossings will demonstrate their vaulting programs, local 4-H groups will bring their animals and dog agility contests are scheduled.

Jillian Santi will demonstrate “cowgirl dressage” to Johnny Cash music and a medieval promenade is scheduled in the afternoon both days.

Of course there will be live music, arts and crafts, children’s activities, wine tastings and a beer garden.

Don’t allow threats to overshadow the cause We understand the feelings of anger and resentment being exhibited by Navy supporters in response to the federal lawsuit involving Outlying Field Coupeville.

The backlash has been swift and certain. Navy personnel and supporters see the lawsuit as a threat to the safety and welfare of flyers who practice carrier landings at OLF Coupeville.

Demonstrations of support of OLF Coupeville are admirable and acceptable in the realm of public debate.

The safety of our military personnel is of paramount concern.

However, when support for OLF Coupeville ventures into threats of any kind, it creates a blemish on the entire cause.

Those leading the charge to keep OLF Coupeville viable and operating need to actively corral those who venture off into the extreme.

Otherwise, the entire pro-OLF effort risks falling under a dark cloud.

People who support the cause may be forced to back off because of the negative undercurrent.

The pro-OLF cause is a result of the lawsuit filed July 15 by the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment.

The federal lawsuit, which names the Navy, base commander Capt. Mike Nortier, and Adm. Bill Gortney, Commander Fleet Forces Command, seeks an in-depth review of the operations at OLF Coupeville based on National Environmental Protection Act Standards.

Threats of bodily harm to lawsuit supporters — whether or not they’re made in jest — are flat out unacceptable and shouldn’t be tolerated. Any such threats made on Whidbey News Group websites, including on whidbeynewstimes.com, result in an immediate ban.

Another frequent threat in the OLF Coupeville debate is of an economic nature: There is talk of boycotting any business, or community, deemed unsupportive of the Navy.

One problem surfaced rather quickly, however.

Businesses are being deemed unpatriotic based on pure speculation. On one pro-OLF Facebook page, a North Whidbey business was purported to be unsupportive of the Navy and the word quickly spread beyond the Internet site.

It was subsequently determined on the same Facebook page that the business is indeed “very” supportive of the Navy. Business boycotts threaten not only the livelihood of an owner, but also the people they employ and their families.

Boycotts also have the potential to impact city and county sales tax proceeds. That’s money that funds vital programs in all of our island communities.

With an already struggling economy, none of us can afford for our island community to take an even greater hit.

Yes, people have the right to direct their personal spending as they see fit, but publicly tarring a business — or an entire community — as being anti-Navy is a slippery slope.

Trying to determine which businesses may or may not be pro-OLF has the potential to evolve into a modern-day witch hunt. While it’s entirely appropriate to voice support for OLF Coupeville and the men and women who rely on it for their training, that support shouldn’t be allowed to morph into threats.

Dialogue could spark OLF tourism chances Editor, On July 15 America’s Navy was sued by the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve – hereafter CER – to cease Outlying Field Coupeville fight operations until an Environmental Impact Statement is performed of EA-18G Growlers training for the national defense site OLF Coupeville. I’d like to defend OLF Coupeville as a patriot, if I may please.

Why is OLF Coupeville part of the national defense? OLF Coupeville is where aircraft carrier landings can be rehearsed safely away from interfering air traffic and lights. Actually, OLF Coupeville has been home to military jet and helicopter training since the 1960s and during WWII propeller combat aircraft.

Property purchasers and renters were also warned at least since 1992 of the presence of jet noise; yet a lawsuit arose and many are consequently debating where to redirect commerce out of moral outrage.

As if magically training American

superheroes must pause for years until a new EIS and/or OLF. As if we can study the impacts of EA-18Gs without EA-18Gs flying at the OLF, which arguably created the same faults CER alleges.

If only some attitudes adjusted, perhaps we could discuss marketing opportunities to make OLF Coupeville an international tourist attraction. I inquire as a leader of the pro-OLF community with over 850 fellow patriots on a “Save OLF Coupeville” petition at www.ipetitions.com/petition/save-olf/ if I may please attend the next mitigation meeting around OLF Coupeville to not just present the petition, but also listen thoughtfully.

to transfer flights to Ault Field.

Nor do I imagine the tourists who frequent Deception Pass State Park, whose expenditures Island County courts assiduously, will appreciate it either. If the end result of this fracas is that the Navy pulls out of Island County completely, I foresee the bottom falling out of the Island County economy.

What Eastern Washington would welcome, Island County would regret.

County would regret loss of Navy’s presence

Editor, Federal, state and local governments have a new and sneaky way of raising taxes. First, create a pressing need for vital services such as law enforcement or criminal justice. This need is often created by under-funding a vital service over many years.

Second, stage public meetings to verify this need. A sheriff or prosecutor explains how his department can-

Editor, Having owned and paid Island County taxes since the 1940s on waterfront property north of Ault Field and listening for more than 65 years to various types of aircraft noise, I do not appreciate objectors near Outlying Field Coupeville persuading the Navy

Third, elected officials now have to cry that there is no money to meet these needs.

Of course not, you spent it on some non-essential services, usually to win votes from some of their electorate.

What do you think about the lawsuit to reinstate Kelly Emerson as chairperson of the country commissioners?

“It’s ridiculous. When you have become so embroiled as to be ineffective, you need to step aside gracefully.”

Denise Snow, Oak Harbor Fourth, “but,” say the legislators, “we must raise the money, and the only way to do that is to have a referendum on a special levy.”

What a good way of supporting a vital service, without raising taxes — the commissioners didn’t do it, the voters did.

I support the need for “law and justice.” These are two very basic functions of

government and have been ever since government was invented.

They should be funded adequately and steadily by my basic tax rate.

How did we ever arrive at

a point where 32 new people are required in the sheriff’s office? Sounds to me like our government is not working properly.

Obituaries

Alex “Al” Toth

Alex ‘Al’ Toth Alex “Al” Toth, of Coupeville, passed away at his home on July 17, 2013 at age 88.

He was born March 5, 1925 in South Bend, Ind. to his Hungarian immigrant parents, Charles and Lina Toth.

He was proud of his Hungarian heritage, often cooking Hungarian foods for his friends and staff at his real estate office, Panorama Properties, where he had a full kitchen to indulge his favorite hobby — cooking.

Al had a normal childhood, growing up during the Great Depression.

To earn extra money, beginning at age 8, he sold magazine subscriptions to Liberty Magazine, then later graduated to having a paper route, picking fruit in the summer, working at a soda fountain and being a waiter at a restaurant.

During WWII in 1942, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age 17, while still in high school. After graduating in 1943, he entered the Navy

and served until 1946, when he was honorably discharged as an ensign. Al entered the University of Notre Dame after his Navy service and graduated in 1949 with a degree in journalism. He went to work in Grand Rapids, Mich. for a radio and television station as a copy writer. After becoming disenchanted with being a copy writer, Al moved to Seattle in 1952 and started a new career in real estate sales, with MacPherson Realty.

In 1953, while flying from Chicago to Seattle, he met his future wife, United Airlines stewardess Barbara Maschinot. In 1954 they married, and subsequently had five wonderful children.

In the early 1960s, real estate sales slowed considerably and Al started selling pots and pans door-todoor. A friend asked him, “What’s a Notre Dame graduate doing selling pots and pans?” Al replied “Hey, I’ve got a wife and five kids and we have to eat!” They never missed a meal.

The Seattle World’s Fair in 1962 provided a new opportunity for Al. He was trying to think of a way to make money selling souvenirs when the thought hit him — what would be a good souvenir?

Something practical that would appeal to men, women and children, and sell for only $1. He was scratching his head with a pen — “That’s it,” he said.

“A pen! What was going to be the outstanding attraction at the fair — the Space Needle! How about a pen in the shape of the Space

Needle?”

After a hectic search for funding, the Space Needle pen was born and was the top selling souvenir at the Seattle World’s Fair. He sold 487,000 pens for $1 each. Today, these pens are collector’s items and being sold for $10-$20 each.

While in Seattle, Al Toth was a member of the Notre Dame Club of Western Washington. In 1964 he was elected president of the club and in 1965 he was named the Notre Dame Club Man-of-the-Year.

In 1967 Al discovered Whidbey Island while selling recreational lots at Admiral’s Cove, Sierra and Holmes Harbor for MacPherson Realty.

In 1969 the Toth Family moved to Whidbey Island where Al had a home built for them at Ledgewood Beach, where he was selling lots for his own company, Panorama Properties.

By 1971, Al had sold most of the lots at Ledgewood Beach and decided to move Panorama Properties to Oak Harbor.

His first office was a converted barber shop. Also at this time, he and his wife bought and owned the “Big Rock” in Coupeville.

In 1978 he built a brand new building for Panorama Properties.

The rest is history. Many millions of dollars in sales, many homes and land sold, many friends made, many meals cooked and many parties were had.

Al will be remembered as an honest man, strongwilled, straight-for ward and candid. He said what he meant and meant what he said. He did not mince his words. Surprisingly, he was also quite sentimental.

He enjoyed hearing a good joke and telling one.

He was an accomplished cook, a mediocre swimmer and a very unlucky fisherman.

Al was a member of the Notre Dame Club of Western Washington, the National Association of Realtors and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Coupeville.

Al is survived by his wife, Barbara, at the family home in Ledgewood Beach, and by his children and their spouses: Patricia/ Patti Toth (Randy) Stone,

Jennifer (Bob) Henning, Charles (Val) Toth, Melissa (Roland) Robinson and Janet (Terry) Backman.

He is also survived by his seven grandchildren — Kylan Robinson, Jaron Robinson, Carly Backman, Blair Henning, Riley Backman, Shelby Toth and Veronica Monell - and one great granddaughter, Lainey Robinson. He is also survived by his sister Irene Csiszar. He was preceded in death by his granddaughter Katie Toth (Patti’s daughter) and his sister Rosemarie Cook.

At Al’s request, there will be no memorial service.

He asked that his friends remember him by raising a glass of good cheer in his memory. In lieu of flowers and consistent with Al’s wishes, the family requests that donations be made to the Katie Toth Memorial Education Fund of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC) www. apsac.org/donate-to-apsac, or to the American Brain Tumor Association www. abta.org/

suing CONTINUED FROM A1 position.”

Johnson and Price Johnson voted during a July 10 meeting to remove Emerson as the chairwoman and replace her with Johnson; they were upset that Emerson defied the direction of the board by attending a public meeting in the other commissioners’ districts.

The disagreement doesn’t run along party lines; Emerson and Johnson are Republicans while Price Johnson is a Democrat.

In his lawsuit, Burnett cites RCW 36.32.100, which states that “the board of county commissioners in their first session after the general election shall elect one of its number to preside at its meetings.”

ISLAND COUNTY Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor David Jamieson said he does not believe the complaint is valid.

“When the Board of County Commissioners has the statutory power to choose its chairperson from one of its members under RCW 36.32.100, the position of chairperson is held at the will and authority of a majority of the members of the board and a majority of the members of the board have the inherent power to remove and replace the chairperson when they believe it appropriate,” he wrote in an email message.

Johnson said the commissioners were advised not to comment on pending litigation.

Burnett did not return a telephone call for comment on his lawsuit, but sent a short email to the Whidbey News-Times

campaign CONTINUED FROM A1 Support NASWI OLF.” And Navy booster Joe Kunzler’s online petition, “Save OLF Coupeville,” has 908 signatures.

Consternation over the noise from Navy jets practicing at the Outlying Field near Coupeville simmered for years, but boiled over this year.

A Central Whidbey community group that aims to close the field filed a federal lawsuit against the Navy this month. The base temporarily suspended field carrier landing practice operations at OLF Coupeville until the end of the year, though leaders haven’t said why.

Meanwhile, support for the Navy is running strong in Oak Harbor.

Kathy Reed, director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said the new campaign isn’t meant to be political, but strictly a statement about the economic realities. She emphasized that the Navy base is by far the No. 1 economic driver in Oak Harbor and Island County as a whole.

“Losing the Navy, or even a single squadron, would not be good for business,” she said. “It’s time to show a little support.”

Reed said she hopes the “Jets = Jobs” campaign will raise money for bumper stickers, yard signs and window clings that will be given to the public.

She said people should keep an eye on the Chamber’s website for more information.

with a link to a posting about the lawsuit he placed on a website.

He wrote that the issue is not about him, but about the law.

In an Internet posting, Burnett emphasizes the “Dillon Rule.”

The principle, adopted by Washington and many other states, essentially says that the power of local government is limited to what is expressly granted by the state Legislature, state constitution or necessity of existence.

Burnett refers to the board majority as “The Johnson & Johnson Gong Show Revival” in his post.

BURNETT IS a prolific blogger and outspoken critic of government, the Whidbey Newspaper Group newspapers, including the News-Times, taxes and liberal ideology. He’s been especially focused on problems he sees at the Oak Harbor School District; he is currently running for a seat on the Oak Harbor School Board.

Burnett and other writers on his website, including Emerson’s husband, Ken, have been supportive of Emerson but acutely critical of Johnson, a more moderate conservative.

WHETHER EMERSON should serve as chairwoman is not a new question for the board of commissioners.

Emerson, an outspoken Tea Party Republican, was passed over for chairmanship by fellow commissioners Price Johnson and Angie Homola, both Democrats, in 2011.

Under a traditional rotation it was Emerson’s turn to be the chairperson, but her colleagues questioned her work ethic, her relationship with county staff and her accessibility to staff and the public.

EMERSON FINALLY was appointed to the chairwoman position in March of this year. Johnson, who replaced Homola on the board, initially delayed the decision, citing concerns about Emerson’s fight with the Island County Planning

Department over an unpermitted project and thousands of dollars in unpaid fees.

Johnson relented in March and supported Emerson for the position. The vote was 2-1, with Price Johnson citing continued concerns about Emerson’s leadership skills.

EMERSON’S CHAIRMANSHIP was short-lived.

The commissioners set up public meetings in each commissioner district earlier this month to gather input about the lawand-justice levy. Johnson and Price Johnson didn’t want to hold special session meetings that would be necessary if a quorum was present, so they decided each commissioner would only attend the meeting in her district.

Initially, the directive was only an informal agreement. But Johnson was upset when Emerson sent out a special session notice on her own because she planned to attend a meeting in Oak Harbor at the Heller Road Fire Station.

It’s been a point of some debate, but Jamieson has concluded that the station is in Johnson’s District 2.

Johnson didn’t attend because Emerson was going.

JOHNSON AND Price Johnson warned Emerson that she needs to follow the will of the majority, which was for each commissioner to only attend the meeting in her district.

Johnson warned Emerson that she may lose her chairmanship if she didn’t follow the directive of the majority and would back a motion rescinding the chairmanship she previously supported.

Despite that warning, days later Emerson sent out another special session notice and attended the public meeting in Price Johnson’s district.

Emerson was stripped of the chairmanship the following day with a 2-0 vote, Emerson abstaining.

Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson, the former chamber director, applauded Reed’s initiative in starting the campaign, saying that the importance of the Navy to her district can’t be understated.

Johnson said that community support is vital to the base, especially when leaders in Washington, D.C. are making decisions about its future.

Johnson started her own effort by asking people to change their Facebook photo to the “Jets = Jobs” logo.

Mayor Scott Dudley said he believes it is crucial for city government to show support for the base and he’s pleased that council members agreed with his proposal for a resolution in favor of training flights.

A resolution will be brought forward for

adoption during the next council meeting.

“We fully support the mission of the Navy,” he said.

Wendy Shingleton, owner of Squadron Spirit Custom Apparel and Gifts on Ault Field Road, sells bumper stickers and T-shirts with base-supporting phrases like “I support the OLF: That’s the sound of freedom, baby” and “I heart jet noise.”

Shingleton said she is associated with a group that became upset with all the negativity they were seeing in the news and online about OLF and jet noise and decided to create a support page on Facebook.

“It’s like the people who sue McDonalds because the coffee’s too hot,” Shingleton said.

“That how it seems to some of us.”

Advice for the road: Don’t target flaggers with your frustrations FAITHFUL LIVING

The elephant replica at Dugualla Bay Farms has been a popular attraction for those driving along Highway 20 on North Whidbey.

Roadside attraction New resident at Dugualla Bay Farms draws questions, visits from gawkers

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

No matter how creative Lynn Backus is with her chainsaw art, she can’t sell a piece of her work without people seeing it.

With so many cars whizzing by her workplace at the roadside store at Dugualla Bay Farms, Backus got an idea and acted on it.

Then she had to sell the idea to Bob Hulbert, owner of Dugualla Bay Farms.

“I have an elephant,” she told him. “Is it OK if I can bring it down here?”

“He said, ‘You’ve got a what?’”

For about a month now, travelers along State Highway 20 in North Whidbey haven’t been able to drive by the store without spotting the farm’s massive new inhabitant.

Visitors stop and snap pictures beside the elephant, which is made of fiberglass and rebar and weighs roughly 1,000 pounds, according to Backus.

Some jump in their cars and leave while others wander over to the stand, which sells fresh produce, ice cream and other items, including Backus’ artwork.

It was this trickle-over effect that stirred up the idea of the

elephant in the first place.

“My idea was for it to be an attraction and possibly grow from that,” Backus said.

The plan worked, according to Emily Meagher, who works in the store and can’t count the times she’s been asked about the elephant.

The most common question: “How did the elephant from South Whidbey get there?”

The elephant is a holdover from a Greenbank business that used to sell life-size replicas of wild animals, including lions, tigers, bears and giraffes, as well as replicas of famous people such as Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.

After the store closed, the elephant sat on property along Highway 20 in Freeland for about three years until Backus arranged for the relocation in June.

Backus said she traded some of her wood carvings for the elephant in a deal with friends who own the property where it stood.

It was disassembled, loaded on a flatbed trailer and sent on its way to North Whidbey.

“It became a landmark,” said Backus, who comes from a well-known Whidbey Island family of woodcarvers.

“It actually was sitting there for sale, but there was no ‘for

Emily Meagher says she can’t count how many times she gets asked about the origin of the elephant at Dugualla Bay Farms.

A missing tusk shows how the elephant has been loved a little too much by children. sale’ sign on it.”

Backus said she loves the elephant.

And she’s learned that children do too, sometimes a little too much.

Since its arrival in Oak Harbor, the tusks were broken off by kids hanging from them, so the elephant has been roped off for everyone’s protection.

Backus has big plans to spruce up the elephant and create more animals from wood, adding to the roadside attraction.

“I might even make a baby elephant,” she said.

The elephant is so far nameless, but she plans to place a jar beside it, asking the public to put their suggestions.

Dugualla Bay Farms is approaching its busiest time of the year, gearing up for its pumpkin patch and corn mazes in the fall.

A woodcarving show and auction, benefiting the Wounded Warrior project, is set for Aug. 9-11.

Backus hopes the elephant might be joined by a friend or two by then.

Not that it’s lacking attention from visitors.

“They think it’s pretty cool,” Meagher said.

As I sat in my car this week watching a flagger stop a line of cars so the needed road construction could progress, I truly understood how tough their job is. That’s because for one summer I, too, was a flagger. The lessons I learned, there on the side of the road, have stayed with me all these years.

For you to fully understand the impact of my roadside experiences, I must provide some background information about myself. During my childhood, I was regularly reminded how happy my parents were that I was born. I was protected and cherished. I was also expected to live with courage and honor, to work hard and be helpful to the people in my life.

And like many late Baby Boomers, my parents learned from their Depression-era parents that there was honor in serving your country, working hard, encouraging your children to live bigger than the generation before, and behaving with respect.

I thought about all of this one afternoon, now years ago, when I set down my flagging sign, momentarily took off my hard hat, and asked God to repair my bruised psyche. Of the many hats I had chosen to wear in my life, wearing that bright yellow hard hat proved the most protective, yet took me to places of extreme vulnerability.

Hard hats and iridescent vests are designed to bring workers into clear view of approaching drivers, but the more time I spent flagging the more I mentally envisioned the outfit as a shield, deflecting the venom, molten language, and unreasonable frustration that occasionally poured out onto me when I asked hurried drivers to slow down, stop briefly, or heaven forbid — take an alternate route.

That summer our flagging team was regularly abused by drivers as we did our best to safely control traffic around construction sites. To my great surprise and sorrow, this included extreme verbal harassment and witnessing incredibly poor behaviors on a daily basis.

While I felt sickened and disillusioned, I also got a surprising lesson from God: when your personal reserves are gone — worn down by financial stress, ill health, broken relationships, unfulfilled dreams, isolation, and little hope — you are more likely to behave badly when irritated by a sudden inconvenience that changes your plans.

Author and therapist Michael Gurian in his book, “The Good Son: Shaping the Moral Development of Our boys and Young Men,” speaks specifically to boys when he says that a dangerous and exponentially growing number of our boys live in confusion, ethical numbness, moral distraction, and spiritual emptiness.” And lest you think I am unfairly picking on men, I witnessed enough bad behavior from women to apply Gurian’s assertions to a more general understanding. As a society, we will not generously or graciously respond to interruptions, inconveniences and personal sacrifices without a foundation of morality and faith that works to balance and override our immediate irritations. Without values, we lose the socially accepted notion that it’s simply not right to be rude.

The weather is amazing and our roads are under construction. Let’s all match the beauty that surrounds us and give a flagger or anyone working on our roads appreciation and respect.
