OH weighs moratorium on pot stores Feds say they won’t interfere with state’s new marijuana law

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Kyle Stevens requests a $240 “donation” for his best product, a pain-numbing and sleep-inducing strain of marijuana called “blue dream.”

While legalization of recreational marijuana businesses could threaten his bottom line and the medical marijuana industry in general, Stevens said he was pleased when voters passed Initiative 502.

He was downright happy when the federal government announced Thursday that it won’t challenge the state’s legalization of recreational marijuana.

Stevens is Oak Harbor’s go-to guy for medical marijuana.

He and his partner started Island Green Co-op a year ago to provide “quick, discrete” delivery of marijuana to many dozens of people suffering from any number of maladies.

His “patients,” he said, include 20-somethings with anorexia, an 87-year-old woman looking for pain relief and many kinds of people in between.

Stevens said he hopes to see

“I would love it,” he said. “I think a lot of people would be better off if there was easier access to marijuana.”

Stevens and other pot enthusiasts

will have to wait at least six months if the Oak Harbor City Council adopts a pair of proposed moratoriums preventing establishment of both medical marijuana and recreational marijuana cultivation and sale.

Neither proposal would affect

existing medical marijuana operations.

Interim City Attorney Grant Weed joked about his own name when he addressed the council members about the pot legalization during a workshop Wednesday.

“It’s not my fault, it’s my parents’ fault,” he said.

Weed explained that the law created by I-502 comes with many restrictions, including a 1,000-foot See moratorium, A20

Widow challenges coroner’s determination

The wife of a man who died on South Whidbey two years ago wants a judge or jury to overrule the coroner’s determination that he committed suicide.

Rachel P. Anderson, wife of the late Martin Anderson,

filed a “petition for judicial review” against Island County Coroner Robert Bishop in Snohomish County Superior Court Aug. 6.

The petition, filed by Bellevue attorney John Peick, claims that Martin Anderson’s death “was caused by unlawful or unnatural means, to-wit, homicide, accident

Prosecutor to dismiss assault Oak Harbor man accused of charge against murderer leading car chase while drunk

By JESSIE STENSLAND

Former Oak Harbor man convicted in State of Virginia

years in prison, with 13 years suspended.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said he was contacted by NCIS this week with the news of Belmar’s conviction and sentence. He plans to dismiss the assault case.

According to a press release from the city of Virginia Beach, Belmar was working as a security guard at a night club called Hangar 9 and was wearing a belt with pepper spray.

As the club closed down, many patrons went over to a 7-Eleven store several hundred yards away and security guards from Hangar 9’s property followed, though they did not have permission to serve as security at the convenience store.

Fights broke out in the 7-Eleven parking lot, and pepper spray was used to break up part of the crowd on more than one occasion.

Darryl Spencer, the victim, and two of his friends got into a verbal argument inside Hangar 9 that continued in the 7-Eleven parking lot. A car leaving the parking lot fired gunshots in the direction of 7-Eleven where Spencer and his friends were getting into their car.

Most of the security staff ducked for cover. Spencer fired a shotgun once, striking a car and its driver who was leaving the parking lot.

As Spencer ducked back into a car, Belmar fired two shots at Spencer. One struck Spencer in the back of the head, killing him instantly, and continued into the back of the driver.

The driver survived but has a bullet permanently lodged in his spine.

During an interview with investigators, Belmar stated that he didn’t know for certain whether Spencer had a shotgun or not.

Belmar admitted he did not see Spencer shoot the shotgun, and that he did not have any encounters with Spencer that evening, according to the press release.

The Island County Prosecutor’s Office is dismissing a felony assault charge against a former Oak Harbor man after realizing that he was convicted of murder in a high-profile Virginia Beach case.

Prosecutors charged Lester R. Belmar Jr., 30, in Island County Superior Court Aug. 14 with assault in the second degree.

Belmar was accused of throwing a Navy security officer over a porch railing following a traffic stop on Seaplane Base housing on July 31, 2012, according to court documents.

The officer sustained a concussion with loss of consciousness, cervical strain and contusions.

Belmar identified himself as a retired Navy master-at-arms who was married to a Navy logistics specialist.

The investigative report by a special agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service noted that Belmar was charged with murder in Virginia for shooting someone while working as a security guard in May 2011, but then moved to Oak Harbor with his wife and lived in base housing.

The special agent reviewed the Virginia case in August 2012 and contacted a Virginia Beach detective who said he wasn’t sure about the status of the case, but he thought the charges had been dropped, the NCIS report states.

In fact, Belmar was tried and found guilty of second-degree murder in October 2012.

He was sentenced this summer to 28

An Oak Harbor man pleaded not guilty Monday to trying to elude police while driving drunk on North Whidbey, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged Gordon Mosher, 31, in Island County Superior Court Aug. 14 with attempting to elude police, DUI, reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

Trooper Lawrence Provoncha with the Washington State Patrol wrote a report about the Aug. 9 incident. He was patrolling on Scenic Heights Road at around 7 p.m. when a black car drove by traveling 67 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Provoncha pulled in behind the car to stop

Levy officially pulled from ballot The law and justice levy was officially removed from the November ballot Monday with little comment from county commissioners or the public.

The commissioners had discussed the issue during a work session and informally agreed to pass the measure.

“I understand the underlying needs for a law and justice levy,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who had initially been resistant to removing the levy. “The committee did a good job in their deliberations underlining the need to bring the county back to the 2008 ser-

vice levels.”

“But, I understand the prudence of waiting.”

The removal of the levy passed unanimously.

The decision was a swift about-face from the commissioners’ July decision to place the $1.9 million annual property-tax levy on the ballot.

After reviewing the county’s recuperating finances, Commissioner Jill Johnson proposed removing the levy.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown and Prosecutor Greg Banks, the primary proponents of the levy, agreed with Johnson after a special, meeting of the Law and Justice

A 51-year-old Everett man died after jumping from Deception Pass Bridge Wednesday afternoon.

The Island County Sheriff’s Office reported that witnesses saw the man leap from the bridge at 12:25 p.m.

The man was pulled from

the water by fishermen in a boat. He was transported to the hospital but did not survive.

The swirling waters below the bridge are busy with boats and the beaches are lined with fishermen as the salmon season is in full force.

Several people commit suicide each year by jumping from the bridge in the scenic area.

The coroner’s office reported that the family doesn’t want the man to be publicly identified. His death was ruled a suicide.

Council.

Brown and Banks said the levy may still be needed but they are willing to see what the ongoing budget meeting yields before asking for more money.

Sheriff Mark Brown said Friday that it was his hope that the public is not getting the message that law and justice staffing does not need to grow.

“I’m still demanding that we grow right now,” Brown said. “But it’s possible that the phased-in growth could be handled within the budget. If that’s the case, we will undoubtedly deal with it next year.”

it, but the driver increased his speed, driving past a bicyclist on the narrow road. The trooper followed onto a couple of small roads, then onto Monroe Landing Road and Arnold Road.

Provoncha estimated the car’s speed at 100 to 115 mph on Arnold Road. He wrote in his report that several pedestrians were on the side of the road while Mosher was driving recklessly.

The car finally stopped at the intersection with State Highway 20 and the trooper arrested the driver, identified as Mosher.

Mosher’s blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.157 and 0.156 percent, nearly twice the legal blood-alcohol limit of 0.08 percent.

Mosher could face up to a year in jail if convicted of the charges against him.

Navy SAR rescues hiker near Lena Lake

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station’s Search and Rescue unit responded to a rescue call from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Aug. 28 after a 19-year-old woman injured her back while hiking with a group in the Olympic Mountains.

The MH-60S Knighthawk Helicopter Aircraft Commander said a tree had fallen on the young woman near Lena Lake, south of Brothers Mountain. Her potential spine injuries necessitated an emergency airlift, according to Lt. Cmdr. Shane Jones.

“She was located up around the 1,800 foot level,” said Jones, who brought the helicopter down to a clear zone 200 yards from the woman and dropped off Naval Aircrewmen Helicopter 2nd Class (AWS2) Timothy Hawk and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Brent McIntyre to assist getting the injured hiker aboard the aircraft.

A civilian ground rescue crew had already been on scene and had placed a cervical collar on the injured woman’s neck and placed her on a back board.

After transporting the hiker to the edge of Lena Lake, they hoisted her aboard the SAR helicopter for transport to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The aircrew, also included SAR co-pilot Lt. Cmdr. David Waner and AWS2 David Scott.

Nothing was found, and ferry service was back to normal with the 8:30 p.m. Port Townsend run to Coupeville and the 9:15 p.m. Coupeville sailing to Port Townsend.

Port Townsend police, State Patrol troopers, bomb-sniffing dogs and other law-enforcement officers searched the Port Townsend terminal, both ferries, the parking lot and waiting vehicles and dock area. The threat came in via a text message that arrived about 5 p.m. indicating some kind of

explosive on a ferry or at the Port Townsend terminal, the State Patrol said.

It was not immediately clear to whom the text had been sent. or who had sent it. Four sailings were canceled — the 5:15 p.m and 6:45 p.m. sailings from Port Townsend for Coupeville and the 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Coupeville departures for Port Townsend. In addition to the State Patrol and Port Townsend police, Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies were at the ferry terminal, and a Coast Guard patrol boat checked the dock area.

Hay baler destroyed in farm fire

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Nobody was injured Tuesday afternoon after a fire destroyed a hay baler along with around two acres of pasture off Arnold Road located near Rolling Hills.

Jennifer Muzzall Jones, a co-owner of 3 Sisters Beef, was driving a tractor that was towing a hay baler. She was baling the second-to-the-last row of the field when she looked back and noticed a problem with the baler.

“There’s flames coming down the front of it,” Muzzall Jones said.

She managed to unhook the flaming baler and drive the tractor to safety.

“Things went really fast,” Muzzall Jones said. The baler was filled with a bale of straw, which is highly flammable along with the stubble remaining in the field.

She said about two acres of land was scorched by the fire.

Firefighters from North Whidbey Fire and Rescue extinguished the blaze that was reported at 3:30 p.m.

Muzzall Jones said the fire destroyed the baler and she is looking for a replacement, which could cost $30,000.

She said a neighbor loaned the family a baler to finish harvesting.

Habitat store big success for humanity Nonprofit has built 36 homes to date in Island County

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

When Whitey Kirschenmann took over management of the Habitat Humanity Store in Oak Harbor six years ago, it was a sleepy business run by eight volunteers.

Since then, the store has increased its revenue by five times and is run by an army of 107 volunteers.

Paired with the income from its sister store in Freeland, Habitat for Humanity of Island County has built 36 homes on Whidbey and Camano islands.

It’s success is sort of an anomaly, Kirschenmann said.

While most Habitat for Humanity Stores are stocked with home building supplies and a little furniture, the Oak Harbor store sells only furniture and decorative items — a model that is both unique and wildly successful.

“The cool thing about it is we’re trying to affect families,” Kirschenmann said.

“We normally give a house to families who have kids.”

on track.”

Kirchenmann, who retired from retail furniture sales before his Habitat work, said working with volunteers is different than working with paid employees.

“They want come to work,” Kirchenmann said.

“They have a purpose and they want to accomplish something.”

Kirschenmann said he was originally going to stay two to three years to get the store going strong, but the volunteers are why he’s still there.

He said the average length of stay for volunteers is roughly three months, but the store has people who have been there for years.

Being the editor doesn’t mean I’ll allow others to misrepresent my views publisher’s column

By Keven R. Graves

Generally, I don’t respond to letters to the editor, even when they’re critical of me.

Being human, I’ll admit I do get offended, and I do take personal attacks personally. However, I also have a thick skin and learned to let people develop their own opinions about me based on what they read in my column and direct interactions with me.

Chelle Brunke’s letter to the editor this week is an exception to my rule.

First of all, like Brunke, I have a son.

My son, Liam, is 18 and is strongly weighing the possibility of joining the military. From his earliest years he ate and breathed anything military. His knowledge of military history amazes me and others and makes me a proud dad.

Currently, he’s scheduled to attend Central Washington University in the fall and is getting involved in the ROTC program there.

In her letter and online, Brunke accuses me of casting aspersions against anyone who supports OLF Coupeville and those who wear a uniform.

Writes Brunke: “If some of us find a slant against the OLF Coupeville in your publication, read your opinions from the perspective of someone who is empathetic to the training and safety of our troops.”

To say Brunke’s words make my stomach turn is an understatement.

My grandfather was aboard the USS Arizona and survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. My father, my stepfather and dear friends served honorably in the military. I have the utmost respect and appreciation of the men and women who serve.

I believe the safety and welfare of our military personnel must be of paramount concern.

I also cherish the Constitutional freedoms we all enjoy as a result of the sacrifices made by those in our military.

That includes the right of free speech. As long as I’m editor and publisher, this newspaper will provide an open forum for all willing to express their views.

Do I agree with every opinion that appears in this newspaper? Of course not. Am I going to give preference to one side over another because I don’t agree? Absolutely not.

Why am I responding to Brunke’s letter? Because it is misleading and untrue. Yes, I will publish it, but that does not mean I will allow it to go unanswered.

Being the editor of the local newspaper does not mean I have to allow the Brunkes of the world to speak for me.

I will speak for myself.

Letters to the editor Thanks

Colorful run testament to Oak Harbor’s care Editor, If you are wondering why there were several hundred people walking around town on Saturday covered in pastel paint, it was because they chose to “run in color.”

Yep, they ran 5 kilometers and we tossed powder color all over them.

They did it for charity.

The 5K event, Run in Color, was a lot of fun for me, but was really something much more selfish. I knew I wanted to do something for fellow runners following the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

As a physical therapist I know very well the cost physically, mentally and

financially of losing a limb.

Particularly near and dear to my heart was the dancer, Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who was desperately promising that she would dance again. I wanted to help her so badly it hurt.

Somehow an “explosion of color” at a running event seemed to be just right to satisfy my desire to help and calm my anger about the violence.

I brought the idea to my physical therapy clinic and they volunteered to help me create an event.

My colleague, physical therapist Tara Vollersten, was ready to jump in and be a leader. She really wanted the run to benefit a local charity too. So it was decided that we would do this locally for Citizens Against Domestic Abuse, or CADA, and for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

We were very lucky to find Curtis Vieke, who works with North Whidbey Parks and Recreation.

He was full of ideas, enthusiasm and really had the knowledge that we needed to make this happen.

Everyone put in many hours.

The race has raised more than $3,000 for these charities.

I hope Run in Color is the beginning of a new tradition in Oak Harbor.

Thank you, Oak Harbor, you rock, you run, you care.

And you look pretty good in color.

Question

of the week:

“The federal government approving the use of marijuana is the best news of the year. ” Lydia Rodriguez Oak Harbor

Page A7

Oak Harbor City Council

How do you feel about the federal government easing its stance on Washington’s legalization of marijuana?

“If the people voted, that should stand regardless if anyone else agrees with it.”

Melissa Palmer Oak Harbor

“I think it is the right idea. Now the cops don’t have to worry about the shenanigans of people using marijuana.”

Sean Kelley Oak Harbor

“You shouldn’t drive with it; shouldn’t be under the influence of it if you are operating machinery. If it helps people with pain or to relax, I think it is fine.”

Anyone who does anything to find common ground on the “faith front” gets my thumbs up.

Thank you, Joan, for explaining so eloquently how people relate differently toward God. We all see Him/Her through a different lense and judgement has no place in that space.

Jet noise

Making assumptions on vandalism is risky Editor, Keven R. Graves, “Vandalism of someone’s personal property is, at best, trespassing and illegal.

Defacing signs in an attempt to mute the opinion of another qualifies as thuggish and lowbrow.”

Do we know that the vandalism of the signs was an attempt to mute the opinion of another?

Do we know that it was an organized act? Do we even know who did it?

No. Currently there is significant reasonable doubt about who did it and why it was done. All is speculation.

Shame on whomever did this.

But to outright claim that this was an attempt to mute the opinion of others is an outright slur against

the thousands of Whidbey Islanders who support the OLF. Until we know the circumstances, let’s not rush to judgment. And try not to imply that those of us who support our troops training are thuggish and lowbrow.

You chose those words. Why? If some of us find a slant against the OLF Coupeville in your publication, read your opinions from the perspective of someone who is empathetic to the training and safety of our troops.

I readily and openly have admitted that I have a son with a highly dangerous job in the Air Force.

His job and safety depend on his ability to train.

Of course I’m going to speak up about my concerns. He’s my son and I love him.

But that doesn’t mean I’d waste my time, money and energy defacing a sign.

It does mean I will speak up on forums like this until you chose to suspend my privileges.

Have you seen the relentless coverage of the U.S. Navy obeying the orders of President Barak Obama in the Mediterranean?

Do those officers and enlisted folks have the choice to disregard these orders?

No. Let us all pray that their safety and training does not depend upon the whims of a minority of folks on Whidbey Island.

Chelle Brunke Freeland

n Editor’s note: As I’ve said

before, flyer safety is of utmost importance and should not be compromised. I speak for myself and on behalf of the Whidbey News-Times when I say we support our military and men and women in uniform.

To suggest anything to the contrary is baseless and inflammatory.

Moving jets entirely to OH is not solution Editor, So what is the noise issue about?

Bob Wilbur has told us what the noise issue isn’t about.

Of course it isn’t about who is and who is not a patriot.

But he hasn’t told us what it is about for him — now it has become very clear.

Behind the rhetoric of $10 words, beyond the hypocrisy of saying Outlying Field should not be a symbol to divide, and beyond diminishing Martin Luther King Day by comparing a dispute regarding OLF to the Civil Right struggle. He has revealed his only real concern is N.I.M.B.Y. He doesn’t want OLF in his back yard — he wants it in yours It is hypocritical to say one does not want to divide the community when the same person defines those that support OLF as irresponsible and reprehensible; when one describes the opposition position as being trumped up, and our politicians as myopic and ignoring their oath of office (because they don’t

agree with him).

How can one say they don’t want to divide when they readily admit they are still miffed at a neighbor that has a different position then them.

The facts of an argument always speak for themselves — but when one has few supporting facts, demeaning the other side is a the fallback of a weak argument.

But here is the bottom line unwittingly buried in the letter.

There is the argument about the “immense human cost of lifedamaging noise, safety and fuel dumping.”

The solution proposed by Bob is to add another runway to Ault Field and, if Bob’s argument is true, move more of that immense human cost of life-damaging noise, safety concerns and fuel dumping to Oak Harbor — because that is OK as long as it is not in his back yard.

By now we have all heard and read the arguments on both sides.

There is little need to go over them because the courts will soon decide.

However, I remember when I bought my house nine years ago here in a relatively quite zone, and I paid much more for that quiet than I would have for the same house in the noise zone of Coupeville.

I just wonder if OLF goes away and Bob’s house goes up in value, will he donate that unearned increase to the Navy?

Beatty

Monty Beatty Monty Lee Madsen Beatty passed away Aug. 26, 2013, at the age of 73. She was an amazing woman, friend to all and always reaching out to serve others. She leaves an enormous void in the lives of all who knew her.

Monty was born in Salt Lake City on May 21, 1940, to James Carl and Sarah Lorraine Bateman Madsen.

Her father died when she was 9 years old and she determined then that she would “grow up to be a nurse and care for her daddy, while her mother remained at home to care for her sisters who would never grow up.”

At the age of 8, she showed a talent for the piano and took lessons until she graduated from high school. She studied briefly with the mother of Grant Johannesen. Much to the consternation of her mom and dad, she opted to enroll in the College of Nursing at Brigham Young University rather than accept a scholarship to Julliard. She excelled at nursing and worked most of her career as a medicalsurgical nurse.

In 1968, she ran into an aspiring medical student who swept her off her feet. He departed for Jacksonville, Fla., to serve an internship, and she followed soon after. She married Hugh T. Beatty on Dec. 21, 1968, in Orange Park, Fla., and thereafter went with him about the country as he pursued a naval career.

Together they retired in Oak Harbor in 1985 and enjoyed second careers with the Whidbey Playhouse where their considerable musical talents were put to good use in many productions.

She was a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving many years with the young women’s program and for 17 years as an ordinance worker in the Seattle Temple. She taught

seminary for four years and, for many years, taught regularly in Relief Society. For 40 years she was the organist in church.

Monty is survived by her husband of 45 years, Terry; four children, D’Le Aunne Beatty-Tobias of Jocotopec, Mexico, Todd Dean Beatty (Donna) of Afton, Wyo., Tyrrell Van Beatty (Tiffany) of Kirkland, Wash. and Michelle Rivers (Rich) of Gricignano, Italy.

Also surviving are 10 grandchildren, one great-granddaughter (born on Monty’s birthday in 2013) and two sisters, Michal Chapman and Dalene Loder, both of Spokane. She was preceded in death by her parents and by one sister, Lynne Marie Lybbert.

Services for Monty will be 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Oak Harbor with visitation from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bishop Reed Hopper will officiate.

Burial will follow at Maple Leaf Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, Monty suggests donations can be made to the Arthritis Foundation Washington, 115 NE 100th St. Suite 350, Seattle, WA 98125.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. Family and friends are encouraged to offer condolences and share stories in the Book of Memories hosted on their website at www.wallin funeralhome.com

Joseph B. ‘Joe’ Lewin Joseph “Joe” Bruce Lewin went to be with the Lord on Aug. 20, 2013, after a brief illness. Joe was born in Forest Park, Ill., to Doran Lewin and Emma (Whetzel) Lewin of Iowa.

Joe lived as a youngster in South Dakota and his family eventually moved to Seattle.

At the age of 17, he joined the United States Marine Corps. While a Marine, Joe was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Service Medal, a U.N. Service Medal and a Good Conduct Medal.

After serving in both Japan and Korea, Joe ended his military career at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

In 1956, Joe married island native, Nancy Olson.

The couple had two children, Carol and Doug.

Joe was a family man who

worked hard to provide for those he loved. He was a commercial fisherman and crabber. He also worked residential and commercial construction. Nancy passed away in 2005 after a short illness.

In 2009, Joe married a local pharmacist, Dorothy Nelson. The two have enjoyed spending time completing lots of DIY projects on their home, working in their yard, traveling and drinking coffee while watching the sun rise from their front porch.

Joe is survived by his wife, Dorothy Lewin of Oak Harbor, and his two children and their spouses: Carol and James Booth of Oak Harbor; and Doug and Debbie Lewin of Wenatchee. He is survived by four grandchildren: Susan Booth of Oak Harbor, Megan, Hannah and Joseph Lewin of Wenatchee, and five great-grandchildren: Blake, Rebecca and Austin Booth of Oak Harbor and Aiden and Liam Strampher of Wenatchee. He is also survived by one sister, Ann Miller of Barstow, Calif.

Joe requested no formal funeral services be conducted. Friends and family are encouraged to offer condolences and share memories utilizing the Book of Memories hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www. wallinfuneralhome.com

Dushek

Perry W. ‘Duke’ Dushek On Aug. 18, Perry passed away at Whidbey General Hospital of natural causes.

He was 91.

Perry was born April 19, 1922, to Harry and Della Dushek at the farm home in

Viola, Minn. He was fourth of seven children. When World War II started, he was put on a farm deferment and could not enlist in the service. After most of his running mates had left for the service, he told the draft board he no longer worked on the farm and was soon inducted. He selected the U.S. Navy, and was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Station for recruit training, followed by continued training to Fort Pierce, Fla. Duke’s Navy career spanned 20 years, including serving in World War II and the Korean War as a gunner’s mate. Following the Korean War, his assignments included Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Virginia and in 1959 Whidbey Naval Air Station in the new EOD unit as an underwater demolitions expert. Achieving the rank of chief, he retired

out of Concord, Calif., and returned to Oak Harbor to make it his permanent home.

In 1964, he bought the 76 Union Station with Oscar Carter. In 1968, he sold his half to his partner and started Dushek Appliance Repair, which he operated until 1985 when he changed careers. He then became secretary for the Elk’s Lodge for the next 10 years.

Not content to retire, he began working at Walmart in 1999. In February 2007, at the age of 86, he decided to retire for good.

Duke was a charter and life member of the Oak Harbor Elk’s Lodge 2362, serving in all positions to include two terms as Exalted Ruler and District Deputy for the state. He was also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Whitehead-Muzzall Post

3037, Fleet Reserve Branch 97 and American Legion George Morris Post 129. He was an avid bowler and fisherman. In 2000, he fulfilled a lifelong desire to become a beekeeper and supplied his family and friends with jars of his “Old Duke’s Honey.”

In his final years, he kept busy with his gardening.

Duke is survived by his wife of 60-plus years, June, sons Lawrence of Sheridan, Wyo., James of Oak Harbor, daughters Joan (Bruce) Rohm of Oak Harbor, Judy (James) Paradiso of Kent, Wash., and granddaughter Bethany (Robert) Wright of Oak Harbor. He is also survived by his brother Paul Dushek of Backus, Minn.

He is preceded in death by his parents, four sisters and one brother.

Malloy places 2nd at world judo championships Adds silver to Olympic bronze medal

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Oak Harbor’s Marti Malloy added another prestigious medal to her collection by placing second at the World Judo Championships in Rio de Janeiro Wednesday, Aug. 28.

Olympics.

Malloy posted a 5-1 record at the World Championships, earning a silver medal after losing to the host country’s Rafaela Silva, the world’s fourth-ranked fighter, in the 57 kilograms final.

With the second place finish, Malloy is now one of only 28 Americans to medal at the World Championships, which is considered second only to the Olympics in importance and international ranking points.

Only four Americans have won gold at the Worlds;

one is Malloy’s coach Mike Swain. Malloy is one of eight to earn a silver.

Earlier this year Malloy won gold at the Grand Prix Miami, also an elite international tournament.

Malloy, ranked 11th in the world, started the World Championship by defeating Anriquelis Barrios of Venezuela and Jovana Rogic of Serbia.

Next she defeated eighthranked Ketleyn Quadros, topping the Brazilian before a partisan crowd.

Then came a win over the

world’s third-ranked fighter when she threw Miryam Roper of Germany. She followed that with a win over Slovenia’s Viora Bedeti in the semifinals.

In an email response, Malloy said, “I feel like my effort at this tournament was definitely tested. There are no easy fights at this level, so to win five straight fights and make it into a world championship final is a dream partially realized.

“I wasn’t surprised by my placing. I knew I was capable of going all the way if I fought

hard enough and refused to give up. I was tested in many ways yesterday while fighting and wanted the gold medal very badly, but it wasn’t to be. But I am more optimistic than ever before that I can accomplish all I aspire for in judo.”

Malloy said the silver medal may vault her into the top five in the world rankings.

The 2004 Oak Harbor High School graduate currently lives in San Jose, Calif., where she trains at the USA Judo Center.

Mendes finishes 33-year high school coaching career

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

And so closes another chapter – a long chapter – in the soccer life of Paul Mendes.

Mendes resigned as the boys soccer coach at Coupeville High School earlier this month, ending a string of 33 years of coaching high school soccer, the last eight at CHS. Mendes’ own playing career ended with a serious leg injury, but the setback was a gain for high school soccer players at Bellevue’s Newport High School and Coupeville.

At Newport, Mendes won two state titles, 1982 and 2003, and placed second in state twice.

He called the second state title his coaching highlight as the Knights went 20-0-1 and were ranked in the national top 10. As a result, he was named the King County Eastside Prep Coach of the Year.

His Newport teams made 13 state appearances and won 10 Kingco championships.

He led Coupeville teams to the final 16 twice, and his CHS highlight, he said, was taking the 2009 squad to state, the first in school history.

“I feel quite proud of our competitive spirit and conduct on the field,” Mendes said. “Over the years we managed to beat every team in the Cascade League. We developed

Paul Mendes quite a rivalry with South Whidbey, so beating them home and away during the 2010 and 2012 seasons was also very satisfying.”

In his resignation letter to the Coupeville School District, Mendes said, “The decision to retire from coaching is one that I have thought a great deal about, and I feel that now is the right time. I would like to thank the school for giving me the opportunity to serve. It has been a special experience for me, filled with many golden moments that I will cherish forever.”

He added, “I feel good about going out with a special group of seniors, who gave it their best shot and represented their school very well.”

Mendes said there are other projects he would like to take on, as well as having more time to “appreciate spring on this beautiful island.”

In addition to coaching high school soccer, he was an assistant at Seattle Pacific University and helped the Falcons win national titles in 1986 and 1993.

Like many youngsters, Mendes dreamed of becoming a professional athlete. After graduating from Newport, he played soccer for the University of Washington, lettering four times and receiving all-league honors three times.

His childhood dream was realized when he was drafted by the Seattle Sounders in 1977. His rookie season was cut short by a mistimed tackle that sent him by ambulance to the hospital with a compound fracture of his lower leg. He was never the same, and his professional career ended two years later.

Mendes calls setbacks “stepping stones.” This setback sent him back to school where he stepped forward by earning his degree and refocusing his life on teaching and coaching.

It also enabled him to expand his horizons by studying abroad in Spain and Argentina.

The pavers eventually led to the positive impact he had on lives of hundreds of high school athletes.

New Oak Harbor School District communications specialist hopeful Whidbey Island will be final stop for her and football coach husband

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

As the wife of a major college football coach, Kellie Tormey has grown used to life on the go.

She’s learned not to get too attached to one particular community, or feel too snug in any one place.

But as Tormey starts a new chapter in her marketing and communications career on Whidbey Island, this time the feeling is very much different.

Tormey recently was hired as the new communications coordinator for the Oak Harbor School District, just in time for the start of a new school year. The first day of school in Oak Harbor is Thursday, Sept. 5.

Tormey envisions Whidbey Island as the final landing place for her and her husband Chris Tormey, a longtime University of Washington football assistant who is currently the defensive coordinator at Wyoming.

It might take a while before Chris Tormey puts away his whistle and catches up with his wife for full-time residency on Whidbey. But Kellie Tormey said she feels that will happen eventually.

“I think we believe this is it,” Kellie said. “We love the island setting, and the natural beauty of Whidbey Island is without peer. It’s just breathtaking. It has everything we like to do, everything Chris is interested in. Oak Harbor itself is such an asset to the island as well. It has the beauty of a small town, but it doesn’t feel like a small town.”

For the time being, Kellie Tormey will venture into her new career stop on her own, and she couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to represent Oak Harbor

schools.

While her husband is a well-known football name among ardent Husky fans, Kellie is quite a star in her own right in her chosen career path.

She’s held communications positions with the University of Hawaii Cancer Center in Honolulu (director of communications and external affairs), Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center at the University of Washington (communications officer) and Nordstrom (corporate public relations director), among others.

Lance Gibbon, Oak Harbor’s new superintendent, was looking to fill the position left by Joe Hunt, who moved to Minnesota.

He found Tormey’s credentials to be impeccable.

“We were thrilled to find somebody with such diverse experience and depth of experience in the communications field,” Gibbon said. “She has such strong connections with the Seattle media, which may give us some opportunities to get some more visibility for Oak Harbor and our region. At the same time, she has very much a community-oriented focus, having worked in communities. She’s a former executive director of United Way (of Whitman County) and so she knows what it means to be invested and a part of a close-knit community and the importance of service. We’re excited about that.

“I think we’re fortunate that someone with that kind of experience was hoping to move to the island. She’s excited to be a part of our district. I think she’s going to bring a lot of energy to where we’re headed.”

Kellie said she and her

Chris Tormey, Kellie’s husband, is in his second season as the University of Wyoming’s defensive coordinator. Tormey spent 16 seasons during two different stints as a Washington Huskies assistant. Among Chris’ duties at Wyoming is to recruit Washington state high school talent. husband had been talking about settling down on Whidbey Island for about a year. It’s a place she came to frequently while growing up and continued to visit with her husband over the years.

She has an aunt who lives in Coupeville.

The Oak Harbor schools job was the opportunity that made the move happen sooner than later.

Although they’ve maintained a residence in Seattle, uprooting is nothing new to the Tormeys.

During her husband’s

34-year coaching career, Kellie has followed him on most of his eight stops in five different states.

But the past two years, they’ve lived in different states while focusing on their own careers.

Chris Tormey, formerly the head coach at Idaho and Nevada and twice a Huskies assistant, is in second season at Wyoming.

“We have sort of a longdistance commuting relationship,” Kellie said. “He comes back to the Northwest when he can. Usually, I go down

there during the holidays.

We mutually decided we needed a home base together. That’s going to be, we think, on Whidbey Island.

Hopefully, it’s the last stop.”

The Tormeys have two daughters; Leah, who’s working on her master’s degree in education at Gonzaga; and Emily, an accomplished rower who recently graduated from Yale.

They’re a family wellversed in college football vernacular and one that understands the nomadic

lifestyle of the modern-day college football coach.

“It’s clearly in the blood and that’s why I think it’s great for him,” Kellie said.

“I think he’d like to stay in college football a few more years.”

In the meantime, Kellie will be putting down roots and diving into something new and exciting for her. It will be her first position with a school district.

She figures she has a “lifetime of learning” to apply to the job. The idea of playing a role in helping children succeed and making a difference in a community is what appealed to her most about the opportunity.

As communications coordinator, she’ll spearhead the school district’s communications and public relations.

“It’s an opportunity to try to help make a difference in a community and the lives of students who are striving to achieve and learn,” Kellie said. “Really in terms of settings, a school district offers, I think, probably the best chance to make a contribution in a tangible way for the future.

“This has been a really good district for helping students succeed. As great as it’s been, it can be even better. This is a wonderful chance to play a small role in helping them do that.”

Join this chat with Elizabeth Kellogg, a Christian Science healer, who will answer questions on this topic; you may also log on to www.jsh-online.com/chats. The Reading Room is located at 721 SW 20th Court, near Scenic Heights Road.

moratorium CONTINUED FROM A1 perimeter between marijuana-related businesses and such facilities as schools, playgrounds, parks, child care facilities, transit stations, libraries and game arcades.

But, he said, the law largely left zoning decisions up to local jurisdictions.

Weed said some cities have already passed adopted restrictions related to recreational

marijuana businesses. The City of Kent, for example, passed an ordinance banning all recreational marijuana businesses, including producers, processors and retailers. “My advice to all cities I represent is, if you are going to adopt regulations, sooner is better.”

The options, he said, are to rely on existing rules, enact a criminal ban, create interim

Saturday, August 31, 2013 • Whidbey News-Times

regulations, adopt permanent regulations or adopt a moratorium to give the city “breathing room.”

Development Services Director Steve Powers said city staff is recommending a six-month moratorium on both medical and recreational ventures to give planners time to study the issue. He noted in an interview that the state Liquor Control Board is still developing regulations for businesses.

“By mid-October, we should know what the rules are,” he said.

As for Stevens, he is also taking a wait-and-

see approach. He said he may be interested in starting a recreational business of his own someday, but he wants to learn from the successes and failures of the pot pioneers.

He said Oak Harbor may not be the best place for such a business, given the large population of military personnel who work under federal law and aren’t allowed to partake of the herb. Still, he estimates that as many as 1,000 people in the city receive medical marijuana.

“I find new people every day who are looking to get medical marijuana,” he said.

by a judge, jury or through a coroner’s inquest — but he will oppose the petition.

“My plan is to defend Dr. Bishop’s determination as it is grounded in fact,” he said.

“He was very thorough in his investigation.”

Bishop said he was advised not to discuss the litigation in detail.

“I’m very comfortable with our determination,” he said.

“I stand behind in 100 percent.”

A deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office discovered Martin Anderson’s body in the backyard of a Clinton home while conducting a welfare check Oct. 17, 2011, according to documents obtained by the Whidbey News-Times through a public records request.

Anderson’s brother-in-law called the sheriff’s office and asked for a deputy to check on Anderson at the couple’s vacation home. The man said they were unable to reach

Anderson by phone and he was due back at his Bothell home hours prior.

A deputy found Anderson’s body face-down in the backyard of the vacation home. A small red-handled knife and sheath were found nearby.

A detective was unable to find identifiable fingerprints on the knife or sheath.

A small incision was located on the right side of Anderson’s neck, in “the area of the jugular vein.”

Investigators found no evidence of a struggle or breakin at the house.

Detective Laura Price obtained video recordings from the Washington State Ferries. One video shows that Anderson was alone in the car.

Price wrote in her report on the investigation that she had multiple conversations with Bishop and concurs with his finding that Anderson committed suicide.

“Neither the detectives nor the coroner found any reason to believe it was homicide,” Banks said.

The petition, however, alleges that Bishop made the determination without adequate investigation and “despite contrary and additional information and without judicial review.”

“The cause of death of Martin Anderson has not been properly determined by the coroner as undisputed facts continue to contradict the coroner’s opinion,” Peick

wrote in the petition.

“The family and coroner met on Aug. 9, 2012, but the coroner refused to consider alternative scenarios or acknowledge the contradictory evidence,” the petition states.

In addition, the petition faults Bishop for not convening an inquest.

The last inquest in the county, Banks said, occurred after 23-year-old Edward Gregoire hanged himself in the Oak Harbor jail in 1995.

Bishop’s inquest cleared the police of any wrongdoing in the death, but the tragedy spawned a series of lawsuits.

In 2005, a jury found that the police officers were negligent, but not the “proximate cause” of the death.

Banks said he was only able to find one example in the state of a successful judicial review of a coroner’s decision. In that case, a coroner for Lewis County ruled that former State Trooper Ronda Reynolds 1998 shooting death was a suicide. Her mother was convinced it was murder and filed a lawsuit against the coroner. After lengthy legal battles, a newly-elected coroner held a public inquest and the jurors determined that Reynolds’ death was a homicide and suspects named.

Bishop has a doctorate in veterinary medicine and a certificate as a “medicolegal death investigator” and has completed a series of death-investigation classes at the renowned St. Louis University. He is a fellow with the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators, the highest level attainable.
