Cornet Bay cleanup finally funded Ecology expects to start $1 million project in October

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Dundee Woods knew this day was coming.

The quiet, peaceful world that surrounds him at the Deception Pass Marina in Cornet Bay is about to get rocked.

But when the earth moves, it will release a little of his anxiety as well.

“I’m really happy to have this get behind me,” said Woods, part owner of the marina with his father Milton Woods.

“It’ll be nice to move forward.”

If all goes as planned, the state Department of Ecology will be orchestrating a three-month soil removal and groundwater cleanup project at the marina starting in October.

The site cleanup, which is estimated to cost more than $1 million, was earmarked after tests showed that soil and groundwater on the property was contaminated by petroleum after several fuel line releases in 1989.

Milton Woods covered his end of a 1993 agreement with the state by replacing the fuel lines and underground tank at his marina.

Under the agreement, the Department of Ecology would conduct site studies and handle the cleanup.

Dundee Woods, part owner of Deception Pass Marina in Cornet Bay, is bracing for a cleanup project by the Washington Department of Ecology that will temporarily relocate his family’s general store and replace the deteriorating bulkhead behind him with a steel structure.

However, the state didn’t receive sufficient funding for the cleanup until this year.

The proposal includes demolishing the existing timber bulkhead at the marina and

replacing it with a new sheet pile wall made of steel.

Then, the state will tackle contaminated soil removal, which will require lifting the

Woods’ general store and moving it to get at the soil underneath.

An Oak Harbor man accused of sexually assaulting a 5-yearold child multiple times probably won’t be getting out of jail anytime soon, according to court records.

Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock refused to lower bail for Lewis J. Browning during a court hearing held

July 22. Bail for Browning was kept at $50,000.

Browning pleaded not guilty July 3 to one count of rape of a child in the first degree and two counts of child molestation in the first degree.

A pastor of an Oak Harbor church, along with Browning, reported the crime to police on July 29.

Browning admitted to police that he molested the 5-year-old

Woman injured Sailor begins circumnavigation attempt sets sail in 3-car accident Meleshyus from Oak Harbor

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

A Coupeville woman was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle Saturday for injuries she sustained in a threecar pile up on North Main Street.

As of Tuesday morning, Margaret Bagwell, 75, remained in intensive care and in critical condition, a Harborview spokeswoman confirmed.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the accident occurred at about 7:45 p.m. Saturday at the Coupeville stoplight.

Bagwell was traveling southbound on North Main Street in a 1993 Infinity J30 when she rear-ended a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck that was stopped at the light.

The impact pushed the truck into a third vehicle, a 2007 Volvo XC90, that was stopped at the head of the

intersection.

“It was a chain reaction of one car hitting another car and that car hitting another car,” acting Capt. Jerry Helm, of Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue, said.

Helm arrived at the scene and was surprised to recognize the truck as belonging to his brother, Matt Helm, also a firefighter.

Matt Helm was OK and assisting the other drivers.

Marjory Homan, the driver of the Volvo, was uninjured.

Bagwell, however, was reportedly complaining of chest pain.

She was transported to Whidbey General Hospital where she was later airlifted to Harborview.

According to the State Patrol, the cause of the accident remains under investigation though drugs or alcohol have been ruled out as factors in the crash.

Rimas Meleshyus, a Russian immigrant with big dreams, sailed out of Oak Harbor Monday and into history.

To what end, no one can say.

Leaving on an around-the-world voyage in a 24-foot sailboat he purchased for $500, Meleshyus is bound first for Cape Horn, which he now estimates will take him seven months, non-stop, to complete.

“I’m very happy,” said Meleshyus, 61.

“I’m very thankful for the American people supporting me.”

He has been planning the trip for years and has already completed one ill-fated leg across the Gulf of Alaska.

He spent 34 days at sea before being shipwrecked on an island near Dutch Harbor.

He was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard nine days later.

Meleshyus’s boat was lost but he recently purchased another of the same make, a San Juan 24, from the Oak Harbor Youth Sailing organization.

Determined to earn a place in history and secure personal fame — he would be the first to complete a voyage in a San Juan 24 — Meleshyus departed on a vessel overloaded with the fantasies of fellow sailors.

“There are a lot of people living vicariously through Rimas’s dream,” said Oak Harbor resident Mike Newhouse, repeating the words of another boat owner.

Pier Pressure, Meleshyus’s boat, was designed as a lighweight weekend sailer and racer. The 3,200-pound vessel sat well below her designed waterline, crammed with food, water and other supplies.

All of it was donated from Good Samaritans who wish Meleshyus well on what many say will be a passage rife with peril.

“I think it’s going to be dangerous and challenging,” said Shannon Buys, an accomplished sailor and Central Whidbey resident. “And there are going to be plenty of challenges.”

Buys, who owns a San Juan 24 of his own, accompanied Meleshyus through Deception Pass Monday morning. The idea was to give him some last minute instruction — it was the first time Meleshyus had actually sailed his new boat — and see him safely into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

TERI MENDIOLA

“He has to be a little crazy to do this but you have to admire someone who is going after their dream,” Buys said.

“I wish him the best.”

Meleshyus was all smiles, saying he is anything but frightened to finally embark on his long-awaited voyage.

“No, I’m absolutely confident,” he said, when asked if he was having any second thoughts. “Not scared.”

“This comes true a dream.”

Meleshyus’s progress can be followed via his Facebook page.

Film seeks helpers

HarleyDavidson rally gets a thumbs-up

Filmmaker seeks goods and services to assist in the production of Whidbey Island independent movie

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Want to be part of a movie?

A group of Los Angeles filmmakers who are gearing up for production of a motion picture filmed on Whidbey Island in September are looking for businesses and community members who are willing to donate goods or services toward the project.

Joseph Itaya, director and one of four producers for “Lost & Found,” said support from the Whidbey Island community can go a long way toward keeping costs down for their independent film.

He’s hoping that locals excited about the movie will be insipired to help.

Itaya, a 1996 graduate of South Whidbey High School, wrote the screenplay for the children’s adventure that is slated to be filmed exclusively on Whidbey Island.

Coupeville is a focal point of the shooting, including Fort Casey. North Whidbey also is targeted to appear in the film, including Cornet Bay. To help with the project, the wish list ranges from flatbed trailers to golf carts to

vehicles that will appear in the movie.

Other needs include motor homes, box vans and catering services.

“People love to get involved (with a movie),” said Scott Fraser, owner of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway restaurant in Oak Harbor. “If there’s a chance to help, I’m sure people will.”

Washington Filmworks is partially funding the film. The production also is getting public donations through an online platform known as Kickstarter designed to help raise money for creative projects.

As of Tuesday, more than $3,500 from 26 people had been pledged to support “Lost & Found” at www.kickstarter.com Minimum pledge is $1.

Scott Bridges, one of the film’s producers, said “star housing” is an area in which they are seeking support. Not only will the production need campers or motorhomes on location for actors but also overnight accommodations.

He said he is hoping a bed and breakfast on the island might be able to help.

Itaya said some notable actors are being targeted

for the film, which centers around the relationship and encounters of two brothers ages 11 and 15 spending a summer at their uncle’s cabin on a remote island.

The brothers uncover secrets about their grandfather’s lost fortune, then encounter trouble from others as they try to unravel the past.

“Lost & Found” was a finalist for “best dramatic screenplay” at the 2013 International Family Film Festival. Jack Epps Jr., screenwriter for Top Gun, among other films, wrote that the work is “destined to be an instant classic and a must-see family film.”

Itaya said there will be a call for extras to give the movie a more “authentic” Whidbey Island feel.

Bridges, who has acted in some films, said he’s hoping that a local construction company might be able to sponsor a temporary base camp for the movie.

He said security guards will be needed to watch the base camp.

Another important need, he said, will be production assistants who are “excited about the film business and willing to learn and work long

Oak Harbor got a thumb’s up from HarleyDavidson riders during the Washington State Harley Owners Group Rally.

Vince Danner, the rally coordinator from Stanwood who broke Eastern Washington site tradition and picked Oak Harbor to host the event, said the July 18-20 event was well received by the 428 riders who attended.

He said the only minor blemish on an otherwise beautiful weekend of weather was the fog that greeted riders during a ride to the top of Mount Erie on Fidalgo Island.

Instead of a gorgeous view, riders saw a blanket of fog.

“Other than heavy marine layer Friday and Saturday mornings, the weather couldn’t have been any better,” Danner said.

Danner said the state rally will be changed to a regional format next year with Spokane Valley hosting Washington, Oregon and Idaho riders.

Appetite for pie-eating contest grows during Loganberry Festival

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

For some, it’s really all about the pie.

Mary Murphy, 9, said that while she didn’t win the Loganberry Festival pie-eating contest Saturday afternoon she was still a winner.

“The award was a pie,” said Murphy, a first-time participant, who traveled from Kent to the event with her family. “Plus it’s fun digging your face into it.”

However, the family took home a champion as Mary Murphy’s sister, 6-year-old Claire, won the day’s chalk art contest.

The pie-eating and chalk art contest were a few of the many events, exhibitions and activities that were featured at this year’s Loganberry

A medieval promenade was just one of the highlights of this year’s Loganberry Festival at Greenbank Farm.

Festival at Greenbank Farm July 27-28. Four pie-eating contests total were held Saturday, two for children and two for adults.

The winner of the afternoon children’s contest, Jean Lund Olson, 11, of Greenbank, said it was his first time in any eating contest. He enjoyed the $1 prize he received and said the event was his favorite.

The morning children’s contest was dominated again by Madden Gillespie, winner of that contest four years in row.

Faith Wilder, Greenbank Farm board chairwoman of events, said the pie-eating contest is usually limited to 12 participants.

However, on Saturday afternoon, due to a miscommunication with the volunteers, 27 people were allowed to participate, contributing to the competitiveness, havoc and fun of the event.

“It’s definitely the wildest one we’ve ever had,” Wilder said, laughing. “It’s become so popular, we’re just going to have to do more of them.”

Despite the chaos of the afternoon’s children’s pieeating contest, Wilder said she is indebted to the activeduty Navy volunteers who helped both Saturday and Sunday.

“The fair would not happen without them,” she said.

Wilder said there were many new and different aspects to this year’s Loganberry Festival, an event she believes topped previous years in attendance.

Events included falcon demonstrations, a medieval

In addition to adding events, organizers also spread out the activities.

“There’s a different flow this year and we have lots of 4-H participation, which we love,” Wilder said. “The (falcon) raptors are hugely popular.”

Each year, the festival features a broad range of food, snacks and desserts — including the legendary Loganberry pie. Whidbeybrewed beer was provided

local wines were available for tasting.

Toward the end of Saturday’s events, attendees could wind down to the soulful rock and roll of PETE, fronted by Greenbank Hank, a local legend. The entire band claims to have been born and raised in Greenbank.

In that vein, all of the activities are particular to the farm and local to Whidbey.

The artists, entertainers, farmers, food vendors, service organizations and volunteers, all produce their goods and services themselves.

Tree cut considered to improve visibility of Greenbank Farm

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff Reporter

Greenbank Farm officials are developing a plan to improve the view of the historic property.

Judy Feldman, manager of Greenbank Farm, said tenants at the farm are concerned that patches of trees, which were planted around the time the land passed into

public ownership, has grown high enough to block the sight of the farm from motorists as they drive north on State Highway 525.

Feldman said staff is contacting forestry officials with the Whidbey Island Conservation District and WSU Cooperative Extension, along with county staff, to investigate the possibility of

creating view windows of the farm for passing motorists.

“This is not being done thoughtlessly,” Feldman said.

Four patches of trees and bushes are blocking the view of the farm buildings from the highway.

The first patch is a group of Scotch pine and grand firs located on a south edge of the property. Those trees

were originally planted by the Boy Scouts in the late 1990s and were supposed to be used as Christmas trees.

Feldman said the trees pose several concerns.

In addition to obscuring the farm buildings, the patch of trees are densely packed and have dead vegetation.

“It’s not a healthy stand and it’s a huge visual block,”

Feldman said.

Other things obstructing the view from the highway include a row of trees planted near the farm buildings that served as a windscreen for a former farmers market, a group of alder trees planted south of Wonn Road and a stretch of blackberry bushes located along the highway.

Feldman attended the Port

of Coupeville’s monthly meeting July 10 and presented two maps, one from 1997 and one from 2013.

The 1997 shows the land, which was a one-time grower of loganberries, was clear of bushes and trees.

She said trying to add view corridors for the farm will be a complicated task.

CLEANUP CONTINUED FROM A1 The excavated soil will be taken to a permitted disposal facility and replaced by clean soil.

Stormwater from the construction site will be collected and treated on-site before being discharged into Cornet Bay. “Now the planets have aligned and it’s going to happen,” Woods said.

There’s still one more step before the heavy machinery arrives.

The last remaining step before cleanup is a public comment period that has started and continues through Aug. 26.

Currently, no public meeting is planned for the project.

Such a meeting would be held if 10 or more people requested it, said Jing Liu, site manager for the Department of Ecology.

Dundee Woods, who became a partner in the family business about 15 years ago, said the Department of Ecology has been drilling and testing the soil on their property for about a decade.

He said funding issues always prevented the cleanup from moving forward until two months ago when Liu told him the project was a go.

The project will impact Deception Pass Marina and boaters who rely on the marina for diesel and gasoline.

Although ramps will be built to allow marina customers to access docks and get to their boats, fuel tanks will be shut down during the project and the general store will be closed.

The store will be moved across the property during one phase of the proj-

ect before eventually being returned to its current site.

Woods said that since the project doesn’t start until his business’ offseason in October, he really can’t complain.

“We’re so fortunate the Ecology people waited until our season is over.”

“That’s huge,” he said.

“The Department of Ecology people have been wonderful to work with.”

When the project is completed, an estimated 8,400 cubic yards of contaminated dirt will have been removed, according to Liu. One of the biggest issues that caused a sense of urgency for the project was the aging, deteriorating timber bulkhead, which contains creosote. The Department of Ecology feared the wall could fail, causing contaminated soil to enter Cornet Bay. Dundee Woods is hoping

by January he’ll be staring at a new steel seawall and seeing his mom Tuulikki back in the general store working on Wednesdays.

“She keeps the store spotless,” he said.

Woods said his chief concern is trying to minimize any inconvenience to his customers and the community.

“We’re doing everything we can to make this painless,” he said. n The public may review the project documents at the Oak Harbor and Anacortes public libraries, the Department of Ecology’s regional office in Bellevue or view them by going online at the department’s toxics cleanup website at https:fortress. wa.gov/ecy/gsp/Sitepage. aspx?csid=5048

The Deception Pass Marina will remain open but the general store will shut down during a cleanup project by the Washington Department of Ecology that is slated to begin in October. Soil and groundwater was contaminated by fuel line releases in 1989. As part of the project, the state will replace the aging bulkhead, left, and install a new steel seawall.

As state parks hit the century mark, join in celebration publisher’s column

By Keven R. Graves

Can you imagine Whidbey Island without its parks?

Luckily, none of us has to.

On Saturday, Aug. 3, a celebration is planned at Deception Pass State Park, the grandaddy of all state parks, located in our own backyard here on Whidbey Island.

During the 1970s, a friend’s mom would drive the three of us from Anacortes to swim lessons, which were taught at Cranberry Lake. This was in the morning, and the lake was still always under a canopy of shade and the sand damp.

In the cold lake, before the sun rose overhead and the crowds swarmed to the beach, we learned first not to be afraid of getting our faces wet, then the crawl stroke and back float. The raft past the roped-in swimming area seemed miles away.

These are my earliest memories of the park.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, the state Parks and Recreation Commission is holding a day of family fun at Deception Pass State Park to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Washington state park system.

This event takes place in the East Cranberry Lake area near the entrance of the park. A Discover Pass is required to enter the park for the celebration.

The day-long event is sponsored by the Deception Pass Park Foundation, a nonprofit, community-based organization whose mission is to support education and resource protection at Deception Pass State Park.

Over a number of years, as a reporter, I covered a number of stories at Deception Pass park. Among the first was a feature about storytelling in the amphitheater. Gathered around a fire, listeners enjoyed local folklore brought to life with a dramatic reading and masks. For that article I won one of my first awards from the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association.

Another time, I toured the park with one of the original members of the Civilian Conservation Corps and See Graves, A7

Letters to the editor County

Will someone please tell me: What are we paying her for?

What is Emerson being paid to do?

Nonprofit

Editor, When Kelly Emerson was running for Island County Commissioner, she said she believed there was fat in the county budget, but she didn’t know where it was because she hadn’t studied it.

“I’m not being paid to do that yet,” she said.

Since her election in 2008, she has abstained from voting on issue after issue, saying she hadn’t had time to study it.

At the commissioners’ monthly night meeting on July 22, Emerson packed up and left the table while Commissioner Jill Johnson was still speaking.

Asked later why she left before the meeting was over, she said she had nothing more to add to the meeting and she has a personal life that needs attention.

Emerson’s yearly salary as Island County Commissioner is $78,496.32.

Just wandering around and taking in the sights, I could see firsthand how a wide diversity of folks truly enjoy this community event and location — medieval royalty on horses, Zumba dancers, hot dogs from the Lions, pulled pork sandwiches from the Whidbey Pies Cafe — it was all good.

Especially noteworthy — so much community information was available from farmers, winemakers, artists, falconers, 4-H, WSU, Master Gardeners and firefighters.

learned firsthand how the group built everything from the rustic railings along the roads to the many shelters, trails and roads inside the park.

The CCC was created by an act of Congress in 1923 to create jobs during the Depression era. To this day, we are the beneficiaries of the CCC’s legacy.

After the Inauguration Day Storm of 1993, I again took a tour of the park, that time with a ranger. Massive trees were twisted by the incredible winds and snapped like twigs. The damage was incredible, and while roads were cleared and structures subsequently repaired, I can still see evidence of the storm’s wrath from the highway as I pass by.

An estimated 1.75 million people visit Deception Pass State Park each year, making it a huge draw to the island and a major contributor to the North Whidbey economy.

Whidbey Island is blessed with some pretty magnificent state parks, including Ebey’s Landing Historic Reserve, Joseph Whidbey State Park, South Whidbey State Park and Fort Casey State Park.

Our state parks are definitely a resource worth preserving and celebrating.

Island Campus’ Rainbow Alliance, the student/community education, activity and support group representing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, intersexed, asexual, queer and questioning persons as well as their friends, families and allies.

I am fortunate to serve as the faculty advisor for the group, in addition to being an adjunct instructor at the college.

Members of our group, including myself, were a part of the 2013 Holland Happening Parade on Saturday, April 27, and also were in the 2013 Fourth of July Parade earlier this month.

Our experience marching in these two parades this year was extremely positive. I am happy to report that we did not encounter any visibly negative reactions to our presence.

The one exception to this warm reception was in the reading of our group’s statement at the reviewing stands in the last leg of the parades. In both parades, the announcers read the first sentence of our group’s statement, then paused for a moment, and skipped over the second sentence, and ended with our last sentence that, in effect, said, “For more information, see the college website.”

Our statement’s second sentence contained the long list of inclusive identifiers used in the first sentence of the present letter.

We were not informed that the announcers of the parades would, at their whim, be editing our statement.

There is absolutely nothing

objectionable about the language used in our statement.

All of the terms used are identifiers knowingly and happily adopted by members of the genderand sexually-diverse communities in modern U.S. (and worldwide) society.

What is the harm in reading these and identifying us as we wish to be identified?

The fact is, although our contingent in the parade was small, there are people from all stripes of the gender- and sexually-diverse communities present in Oak Harbor, interacting with the community and contributing positively to it.

Simply mentioning these words in public and seeing people of these identities marching unafraid in a major public event can go miles toward making a young person of whatever age, or even adults who have been harassed or otherwise mistreated over these issues, have a major boost of confidence and an assurance that the oft-repeated slogan “It Gets Better” really can be true, when far too often it isn’t.

Dr. Phillip A. Bernhardt-House Skagit Valley College-Whidbey Island Campus

Thanks to those who support tournament Editor, A huge thank you to North Whidbey Little League, the City of Oak Harbor and all the Naval personnel who participated in making the July 13-21 Washington State Little League 9-10 Baseball Tournament a tremendous success.

Windjammer Park was the site

&

of the 9-day Little League 9-10 Baseball State Tournament hosted by Washington District 11 and North Whidbey Little League.

There were 13 teams, one from each district in the state There were a total of 25 games.

Players, managers and coaches were fed after each game they played. That’s a total of 700 meals.

Fields had to be prepped, scorekeepers, announcers, pitch counters and untold other tasks needed to be accomplished for each of the games to make the experience a success for the players. This was completed without a hitch.

children, but there is a difference between sacrificing for the needs of the Navy and sacrificing because someone made the wrong choices for themselves.

Moving OLF would cause more hardship to our military. Moving the base would only mean that military children would have to listen to the planes in a different location.

I have heard people state that Whidbey has outgrown OLF, but I’m trying to figure out how that is the fault of the Navy or taxpayers.

Even Navy should show flexibility

Kenneth Tyler Oak Harbor

Members of anti-OLF group proving selfish Editor, I believe in everyone’s right to their own opinion.

The issue with Outlying Field has gone far beyond people stating their opinion. They have shown time and time again that, when someone tries to explain the necessity of OLF, they only care for themselves.

They claim to care about the children of Coupeville.

What about military children?

Navy families live not only in Coupeville, but around the island.

Every time a plane flies at least one family is affected.

Do they care about the hardships of the children who have to spend time away from their parents?

Yes, we knew a lot of this when we got married and chose to have

Editor, How about a moderate approach to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station?

I believe in a strong defense. I admire the well trained Navy men and women in my community.

Jobs are important. The Navy provides many. But I don’t think the Navy should be permitted to exceed noise levels on the ground that violate OSHA standards.

I do think the Navy should be transparent about flight density mapping, real world, not hypothetical, including changes over time.

I do think the Navy should listen to the community feedback and try to find a compromise, even if it is somewhat less convenient.

Let’s all be willing to flex a little,and that includes our powerful Navy.

Julia Hodson

Julia L. Hodson (Pankau)

Life as we know it ended on July 21, 2013, with the death of Julia L. “Julie” Hodson.

An avid supporter of the performing arts and inveterate traveler, Julie visited 49 states, more than 30 countries and all seven continents.

Julie was born in Seattle, the eldest daughter of the Honorable James W. Hodson and Grace Hess Hodson.

She was educated in Seattle schools, Forest Ridge Convent and graduated from Bellevue High School.

Following high school she attended Colorado College and graduated from the University of Washington.

She completed her legal education through a work/study program.

For the last 20-plus years her passion was her service as a Certified Professional Guardian to persons with impairment, providing for their needs while respecting and protecting their individual rights.

She was also a selfdescribed “community servant,” serving in numerous organizations. Julie was a founding board member of Habitat for Humanity of Island County – serving 14 years. She served on the Washington State Ferries Advisory Committee for 18

She was an active member of Soroptimist International since 1984. She was also active in the American Association of University Women, Deception Pass Power Squadron, Northwest Tulip Trekkers Volksport Club and other community organizations.

At the time of her death, she was a current commissioner of the Housing Authority of Island County and served on the Board of Small Miracles, Coupeville’s Emergency Medical Support fund.

In her work with the FIUTS organization at the University of Washington, she hosted international students for 42 years.

Julie worked with Harry Wilbert in organizing “Save the Trees” on Whidbey Island to preserve the old growth forest adjacent to South Whidbey State Park — part of which has now been added to the park, including “The Ancient Cedar” on the Wilbert Trail.

Public service was her lifetime work.

Julie was preceded in death by both parents and her youngest son, Carl Mathew Pankau.

She is survived by sons Gregory A. Pankau (and wife Mariana) of Bothell, Wash., and Keith A. Pankau of Langley, Wash.; daughters Laura K. Crook (and husband Dan) of Wellston, Okla., and Judith L.

Tungate, Huffer shine for NWAC at PNS championships

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Olivia Tungate of the North Whidbey Aquatic Club continued her assault on the list of the nation’s top times at the Pacific Northwest Swimming Long Course Championships July 25-28 at Federal Way’s Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.

The meet featured the best 1,000 swimmers from Western Washington.

Tungate wrote her name among the United States’ best 12-year-olds with three top-12 national long course meter times while placing eighth or better in all of her PNS events.

Of the 10 NWAC athletes competing at the PNS championship, Tungate wasn’t the only one to have a strong meet.

Kelly Huffer, 13, placed sixth or better in the finals of

her eight swims and posted the country’s 13th-best agegroup time in the 200-meter butterfly.

Tungate started the meet Thursday with a secondplace finish in the 200 individual medley in 2:30.36.

Friday she set a new PNS record and recorded the nation’s third-best time with a win in the 200 butterfly in 2:24.15. She added a second in the 200 backstroke (1:09.59) and a third in the 400 freestyle (4:47.54).

Saturday, Tungate won the 200 backstroke in the country’s 12th-best time, 2:28.36; then she finished second in the 400 IM in 5:17.97, ninth in the nation.

She completed the meet Sunday with a new team record while placing second in the 50 back in 32.43 and swimming to fourth in the 100 fly (1:07.26).

Huffer put the finishing touches on a fine weekend with a fifth in the 200 free in 2:13.98 and a fourth in the 100 fly in a new NWAC record of 1:06.73.

NWAC coach Bill Patterson said Tungate and Huffer are the “standard bearers for effort in practice on a daily basis.”

He added, “They are an excellent example on our club of how you can succeed when you mix those two things (effort and consistent attendance) together.”

The Aquajets collected 13 other top-20 finishes at the PNS championships.

200 fly (2:26.09). She was also 12th in the 100 back (1:08.17), 13th in the 400 IM (5:20.83) and 17th in the 200 back (2:28.84).

Big bash for state parks Deception Pass State Park hosting centennial celebration Saturday

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Perhaps the only way Jack Hartt could be more a part of the landscape at Deception Pass State Park is if his skin was made of stone.

Hartt manages one of Washington’s most spectacular state parks. He works at the park, sleeps at the park and nearly every day for 10 years has driven a pickup across a wide span of bridge that has become the iconic image not only of Deception Pass State Park but of the entire Washington state parks system.

So for Hartt, the selection of Deception Pass State Park as host of the state parks’ 100-year anniversary celebration this Saturday, Aug. 3, was only natural.

“It does make a lot of sense,” Hartt said. “It’s come to be what people think of in a state park with its dramatic scenery and a lot of fun things to do.”

Hartt is a part of a staff of 10 at the state park who have worked together with the Deception Pass Park Foundation to get ready for the signature centennial event for Western Washington, commemorating the park system’s 100 years of existence.

A celebration was held in Eastern Washington at Riverside State Park near Spokane on June 8.

“Even though there are celebrations of all kinds, we wanted to do two that were more formal -- one in the east and one in the west,” said Virginia Painter, communications director for the Washington State Parks and

Deception Pass State Park is one of 117 state parks in a Washington system and one of five on Whidbey Island, joining Joseph Whidbey State Park in Oak Harbor, South Whidbey State Park in Freeland, and Fort Casey State Park and Fort Ebey State Park in Coupeville.

Fort Ebey State Park will hold a state parks anniversary celebration while also honoring “National Lighthouse Day” on Sunday, Aug. 4, from 1-4 p.m.

The Deception Pass Park Foundation lists a complete schedule of the event at its website at www.deception passfoundation.org.

The nonprofit organization was formed to support education and resource protection at Deception Pass State Park.

“We’re just kind of the civilian arm of Deception Pass State Park,” said George Churchill, one of nine members on the foundation’s board.

With state funding growing more scarce for parks, groups such as the Deception Pass Park Foundation have formed to raise funds to support improvements and other projects at their designated parks.

Churchill said his group considers it an honor to co-host the state parks centennial event. He considers

Deception Pass State Park part of his extended backyard for six decades. Now 68, he has lived in Oak Harbor since he was 9 and was part of Oak Harbor’s Boy Scout Troop 59 that helped build the first amphitheater at the park.

He said he was 12 or 13 when that took place.

“We got another Boy Scout troop to redo it (years later),” Churchill said, “and now we’re in the process of going out to get volunteers to redo the stage. It’s part of the foundation’s work.

“If you’re part of the community, you give back to the community.”

Churchill, who owns a real estate company, holds a lifetime of dear memories at the state park and isn’t bashful about boasting about the park and Oak Harbor.

“There are military people who have come across the bridge and said, ‘This is it.

This is home. I’m never moving back,’” Churchill said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that. Because when the sun shines, it’s a gorgeous place. When it rains, it’s even better.”

Nutritional needs change as we age Whidbey General nutritionists offer advice for seniors

By Virginia Newman and Erin Simms Whidbey General Hospital

You’re never too old to make changes to prevent diet related chronic disease such as hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes.

Older adults are at greater risk for these diseases and others such as osteoporosis and certain cancers.

But making dietary and lifestyle changes can relieve symptoms AND prevent the onset of chronic illness.

As we age our calorie needs decline but our need for some vitamins and minerals actually go up.

Choosing nutrient-dense food (low calorie, high vitamin/mineral content) is important to maintain health. Focus on getting the foods listed below into your diet.

Calcium and vitamin D can help maintain bone health and vitamin D is being shown to help boost immune function.

These nutrients can be found in fortified milks and yogurt.

Also include low-fat cheese, green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, bok choy), almonds, fortified low fat milks, yogurt and fatty fish to get good nutrient-dense sources of calcium and Vitamin D. Vitamin B12 is crucial in many metabolic processes within the body. Deficiency can result in anemia and neurologic decline.

Most adults over 50 are B12 deficient due to limited intake of B12 and decline in intrinsic factor, a protein made in the stomach that helps absorb B12.

Lean meats, poultry, fish, clams, plus fortified cereals are sources of B12.

Dietary fiber supports healthy bowel function and can lower the risk for heart disease, weight gain, and type 2 diabetes.

Fiber comes in two forms, soluble and insoluble. Both are important for overall health.

Fiber is found in whole food plants such as fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grain breads and cereals. Look for soluble fiber in oats, beans, barley, flax meal to help improve blood cholesterol and blood glucose levels.

Potassium is found in many fruits and vegetables as well as in milk and yogurt. Increasing potassium and limiting sodium intake (by minimizing processed foods high in salt) can lower the risk for high blood pressure.

Aim for 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. You can do this by eating a serving of fruit with each meal and 1-2 vegetables servings at lunch and dinner.

Fat is not evil! Fat, in moderation, can help you to absorb important vitamins and help you to feel full to reduce hunger in between meals.

Check nutrition labels for trans fats, which are best avoided. Looking for the term — partially hydrogenated oil — indicates the potential for trans fats in a food. Choose more often polyunsaturated fats foods sunflower oil, walnuts, sunflower seeds, salmon, soybean oil AND monounsaturated fats found in almonds, olive oil, canola oil, peanut butter and avocados.

Limit saturated fats found primarily in meats. Fats should enhance flavor of foods not coat them.

When it comes to eating well, focus on variety (the spice of life).

The Choose My Plate plan: quarter of a plate of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein (red meat, poultry, fish, beans or eggs) is a great way to help you eat your way to healthy you!

Volunteer drivers sought Summer is soon ending, but the need for transportation to medical appointments is not.

The need in our communities on Whidbey for our senior and disabled population seems to have increased.

Volunteer Services is seeking dedicated volunteers that can help meet these needs.

It is so important that we help one another remain independent for as long as possible in their homes.

To that end we would like you to join us in our efforts

to meet those needs.

It’s flexible — it can be once in a while or as often as you would like to help.

Our volunteers drive seniors and disabled people to medical appointment both on and off the island (your choice), and occasionally to pharmacies, grocery shopping and other essential errands.

We also have the opportunities if interested to do some home chores, or perhaps help in a yard or garden.

Whatever you can offer of your time

will be appreciated.

This is a wonderful way to help those that can no longer drive, but desire to remain independent in their homes.

All areas of the island need volunteers.

There is a background, driving record and fingerprints check required at no cost.

You will drive your own vehicle and we reimburse you.

Please give this some serious thought and if interested, call Pat Weekley at 360678-4886 or 360-3216661.

Healthy eating can be easy on Whidbey

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

O

ne great way to get excited about eating healthy is to visit a farmers market.

The open-air markets are jam-packed with extremely fresh fruit and vegetables. There are heirloom and other interesting varieties of vegetables that supermarkets just don’t carry.

At a recent farmers market in Oak Harbor, there were beets, beans and radishes in a rainbow of colors. Fava beans still in the shell. A cornucopia of greens. Berries galore.

AARP reports that the importance of eating fresh fruit and vegetables doesn’t diminish as people age, but that many senior citizens find it difficult to maintain a balanced diet with the requisite greens.

In some areas, there’s a dearth of fresh produce available. The cost can be prohibitive.

And many people are at a loss of how to handle and cook fresh veggies.

What do you do with a kohlrabi? How about parnips?

It doesn’t have to be daunting, according to John Burks of Kettle’s Edge Farm. He sells a wide variety of vegetables at farmers markets on the island; all are grown in the Central Whidbey soil of his farm.

Of course, he also eats what he grows.

“We do a lot of stir fries, a lot of sautes. A little olive oil in a pan,” he said. “We make a lot of soups.”

Burks said vegetables are great on the grill, but he also recommends roasting hearty fare, such as beets, carrots and turnips.

“All those are fantastic roasted,” he said. “It brings out their sweetness.”

For those who want to

Farmers markets on Whidbey Island offer a wide variety of healthy vegetables, as well as inspiration for cooks. The AARP reports that eating fresh veggies is essential to the health of older adults.

eat local and seasonally, as well as healthy, Community Supported Agriculture programs are gaining popularity on the island.

Several farms on the island offer CSAs, as they are called.

The idea is that customers receive a share of a farm’s produce each week, or bi-weekly. One fee covers the entire growing season. The customers receive boxes of the fruit and vegetables — and sometimes eggs and other items — as they come into season.

Whidbey Island Conservation District started a pilot CSA program this year.

A group of six growers work together to provide a diversity of produce each week; the happy customers pick up the boxes at the Thursday farmers market in Oak Harbor each week.

Janiece Black, the ad-

ministrative coordinator for the project, said it has been very well received.

The 10-week program currently delivers to 24 customers, but plans are to expand it in the future.

This week the long list of produce in each box included beets, kale and green beans.

“Most of the vegetables are things people are familiar with and there’s one thing that isn’t as common,” she said, adding that fennel was a recent unusual item.

Black said she hopes to expand people’s knowledge of locally grown vegetables without overwhelming anyone.

Fortunately, each box comes with recipes to go with that week’s haul. And there’s plenty of recipes on the program’s website.

Of course, many vegetables are great to munch

Farmers markets on Whidbey From Oak Harbor to Clinton, there’s a farmers market close to everyone on Whidbey Island each week.

Oak Harbor’s public market is located in a wooded area on Highway 20, next to the Chamber of Commerce office. It runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., each Thursdays through September.

Coupeville’s farmers market is located next to the library. It runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays through mid-October.

Tilth Farmers Market and Garden is located at the corner of Highway 525 and Thompson Road on South Whidbey. It’s open every Sunday through Oct. 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Bayview Farmers Market is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday through the last Saturday in October.

The Second Street Market in Langley runs from 2 to 6 p.m. through September.

The Clinton Thursday Market is from 3:30 to 7 p.m., through Aug. 29. It’s located on Storkson Drive, less than a mile from the ferry.

A list of CSAs on the island is available at http://whidbeyislandfarmandfoodnews.blogspot.com.

on uncooked or in salad.

Whidbey residents can also grow many of their own vegetables, whether they have a farm or a container garden on a deck.

Perhaps the biggest impediment to vegetables

growing on Whidbey Island are the rascally rabbits and deer.

The growers at a farmers market have hints for keeping the creatures at bay, but fencing is the ultimate solution.

Whidbey septuagenarian runs long distances

By JIM WALLER Staff reporter

John Morelock often uses the phrase “run gently out there.”

He said the phrase is “yet to be defined.” And it is not because he hasn’t had time to think it over.

He often goes on solitary runs — long solitary runs.

At 70, most get their exercise by chasing around grand or great-grand kids and strolling down to the mail box. Not Morelock.

He goes on 100-mile runs.

“I run because it is part of my life,” he said, “It is fun. It is rewarding.”

It hasn’t always been part of his life. He grew up in California and his youth he played football and ran hurdles, but not long distance. “I never ran more than one lap,” he said. “I guess they did make me run an 880 (half mile) once.”

Morelock started running distance in 1984, in his 40s, to get over the stress of “some ugly labor negotiations.” By February of 1985, he was running his first marathon; he ran another in March and another in April.

He went on his first trail run (16.4 miles) in the Olympic Mountains in August 1985. On the way home, which was Olympia at the time, he found a magazine, UltraRunning, that led to his “downfall.”

Now he rarely runs on roads.

Morelock said his first ultra run (any run, pay a fee or not, greater than the standard marathon of 26.2 miles) was in January of 1986.

He added, “I did race a few times, but mostly I just run.” So, how many “runs” has he completed?

He said he quit counting

Coupeville resident John Morelock is a long distance runner. He started in his 40s and continues in his 70s. in 2002; at that point he “had reached 50,000 miles and about 200 times at or beyond a marathon.”

go — beneath a sky full of stars I couldn’t quite touch; that last run I told my father about before he died; a course record a long time ago; and other stuff.”

“I don’t enter very many runs anymore,” he said. “The 12-hour in Redmond Watershed Park in May might be the only one I go to in 2013. I (we) are quite happy

to go volunteer at some of the ultras in the area. I am happy to run the trails of Fort Ebey with an occasional trip to some of the trails on the peninsula or in the Cascades.”

In October, he returned to Montana for the 50-mile Le Grizz at Glacier National Park’s Horse Shoe Reservoir.

In 1986, he won the Masters Division of the race at 44 in 6:30; this time he clocked a 10:19, the fastest time for any runner 70 or

older.

Morelock said he occasionally runs or walks with his wife, but generally he runs alone and his routine is different from most: “We are sort of retired and I can run during the day when the trails are empty. I pause to look at trees, water, things that move, distant mountains — stuff ‘serious’ runners seldom do.”

In addition to his runs, he and his wife walked the 600 miles of

Europe’s el Camino de Santiago in 2004. After that they stopped to visit her parents at the Sunnyside Cemetery and settled in Coupeville with one break.

They spent July 2009 to May 2010 volunteering at an Indian reservation in North Dakota.

Morelock has no plans of stopping; the miles and observations will continue.

“I expect to run tomorrow.

After that will, I hope, come another tomorrow.

MEMORIES

Alive and Well at Summer Hill It started out as just a typical summer day on Whidbey Island. The sun was shining brightly over Summer Hill Assisted Living while the staff and volunteers were scurrying around getting ready for an antique car show. Balloons, banners and music were combined with the aroma of popcorn and hot dogs, setting the stage for an ordinary day to quickly become extraordinary. As the variety of shiny polished cars began to grace our parking lot, the excitement was building for both young and old.

While talking with some onlookers, I met “Doc” and “D.J.” They married on July 13, 1968 and in 2001, decided to retire in Oak Harbor.

When they discovered a car show was showcasing at Summer Hill on July 13, 2013, it seemed like the perfect way to celebrate their 45th anniversary, since they had first met at a car show in San Jose, CA in January of 1968. “D.J.” laughs when Doc & DJ she says that it took “Doc” 4 weeks to get the nerve to ask her out. “Doc” responded with, “I felt like I married out of my league and I still feel that way today. I’m just blessed.” It was obvious that love is still alive between them. They stated that they like Oak Harbor better than any place they have ever lived. We at Summer Hill are so happy that we got to help them celebrate with a walk down memory lane.

Keeping memories alive and building new memories are all part of the good life at Summer Hill Assisted Living. Come join us for a meal or a tour and begin to add to your own collection of memoirs. You’ll be glad you did!

National Association of Senior Veterans, Inc. (NASV) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of Florida in 2008. NASV was organized for the purpose of providing direct assistance regarding better living and health services for American Senior Veterans and their surviving spouses by operating a veteran’s support center.

Motorcyclist dies after collision; second driver arrested

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Freeland resident Dennis Broce was killed July 25 when his motorcycle was struck by an SUV on Bush Point Road.

The driver of the Toyota 4Runner, 28-year-old Kyle O. O’Neill of Freeland, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide.

Officers at the scene suspected that O’Neill may have been high on marijuana at the time of the accident. Toxicology results are pending, but the case could become the first marijuana-related vehicular homicide case in the county since voters passed a initiative legalizing pot.

Initiative 502 set a DUI impairment level for THC for the first time. People with a THC blood content of 5 nanograms

per milliliter can’t get behind the wheel.

Deputy Prosecutor David Carman explained that there are two “prongs” to the vehicular homicide statute. He would have to either prove that O’Neill was driving recklessly or impaired by drugs or alcohol. The DUI prong is more serious.

Carman said the new “per se” marijuana law should, hypothetically, make it easier to prove the DUI prong. He wouldn’t have to show evidence that impairment caused the accident, just the toxicology result. It’s very similar to the .08 alcohol law.

“It’s a new law,” he said. “It’s kind of being shaken out in court.”

The State Patrol reported that Broce was westbound on a 1993 Honda motorcycle on Bush Point Road at about 9:30 p.m.

O’Neill, who had been fishing at Bush Point, was driving east in a 1998 Toyota 4Runner.

O’Neill turned in front of Broce’s motorcycle as O’Neill was attempting to enter his driveway.

Broce braked, but struck the passenger side of the 4Runner, according to the report.

Broce was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle, where he died from his injuries.

Sgt. Rick Norrie, a drug recognition expert with the sheriff’s office, was at the scene and reported that O’Neill had dilated pupils, which can be a sign of pot use, the report states.

In addition, officers at the scene smelled marijuana. A pipe loaded with suspected marijuana and a Mason jar containing specks of suspected pot were found in O’Neill’s vehicle, the trooper reported.

Based on the evidence, the troopers obtained a search warrant for O’Neill’s blood.

Carman said he probably won’t make a charging decision until the toxicology result is back.

BROWNING CONTINUED FROM A1 Last week, Browning’s attorney asked for Browning’s bail wto be reduced, saying that he can stay at his mother’s house.

Deputy Prosecutor David Carman, however, pointed out that his mother has a young child in the home and

Browning isn’t supposed to have contact with minors.

In addition, Carman said Browning may have molested a child when he was living in Ohio.

Hancock quickly agreed with the prosecutor.
