GOP endorses mayor’s council choices

Navy EIS to look at more than just noise

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Though he’s not on the ballot, the November election appears to be shaping up as a referendum on Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley.

In a rare move, the Island County Republican Party weighed in on the nonpartisan races for Oak Harbor City Council seats, endorsing all the candidates considered by some to be supportive of the mayor and his policies.

Dudley and the majority of council members have been at odds over a range of issues, from the firing of administrative employees to gun rights to funding of Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

The mayor said he’s even ringing doorbells in support of his choice of candidates.

Aaron Simpson, chairman of the Island County Democrats, said the group doesn’t endorse candidates in nonpartisan races unless one candidate makes a request; in that event, all the candidates in a race are considered.

Simpson said he’s not aware of any City Council candidates who’ve asked for an endorsement from the Democrats.

Tim Geist, chairman of the Island County Republican Party, agrees that the party’s choice of candidates would swing the council in favor of the mayor if all of them win.

Though the scope of the Navy’s planned Environmental Impact Statement is still being determined, project managers said the study will be “comprehensive,” responsive to public feedback and will look at more than just jet noise.

The Navy maintains that an Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, was in the works for some time, but members of a Central Whidbey-based citizen group claim it’s the direct result of a lawsuit they filed against the Navy in July.

The group, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, is calling for a complete closure of OLF, claiming that the outlying runway is unsafe.

Not only will the study be looking at noise, but it will also look at air quality, safety, the habitats of migratory birds and other factors, said Lisa Padgett, U.S. Fleet Forces Command project manager for the EIS. “All the potential environmental effects,” Padgett said.

Padgett said the Navy has already begun an airspace and airfield analysis in preparation for the public forums to be held in December.

Three open houses are scheduled as follows: 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at Coupeville High School; 4-8 p.m.

Wednesday, Dec. 4 at Oak Harbor High School; and 4-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at Anacortes Middle School.

The EIS process under the National Environmental Protection Act is a “very regimented” schedule with public input opportunities available throughout, according to Ted Brown, the Navy’s Installations and Environmental public

Island Transit looks at future projects

By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter

With construction of its new headquarters near Coupeville nearly complete, Island Transit leaders are looking at future projects.

The Island Transit board of directors approved a six-year capital plan outlining the routes and park-and-ride lots that officials hope to add in coming years.

Though the projects are on transit officials’ radar, there is one crucial element missing.

“We don’t have the money to add any of those routes,” Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose said.

The agency doesn’t yet have the money to add park and ride lots either, Rose added.

Even though there isn’t cash available, it’s important for transit officials to keep a list of potential projects. Then they can qualify for grants if they come available.

The updated list comes as Island Transit’s new headquarters nears completion. Staff recently moved into new buildings on the campus located on Highway 20 near Outlying Field.

The expansion project, which includes a new administration and operations center along with a larger maintenance bay, cost $22.4 million. About $17.9 million of that came from a federal grant.

The project list includes additional routes for the Langley area — the Langley Circular, $677,000; Langley/Clinton via Wilkinson

Road, $697,000; and Central Langley to Freeland, via Goss Lake, $718,000.

Other potential new routes are extending Route 3 to Monkey Hill Road via Jones Road, $522,000; Houston Road to Freeland, $740,000; and North Oak Harbor Bay, $381,000.

Island Transit has purchased land for two additional park and ride lots, but officials are looking for funding to pay for them, Rose said.

Those future commuter lots are located at the intersection of State Highway 525 and Race Road and near the intersection of Highway 525 and Bush Point Road.

The six-year capital improvement plan has a couple of items that Rose described as “piein-the-sky” projects.

The first is a tunnel, called the Kinneth Underpass, which would allow pedestrians and hikers a safe passage across the State Highway 20 near Island Transit’s campus.

That project is estimated to cost $1.5 million.

Rose said Island Transit tried to obtain a grant to fund the project, but the agency didn’t get the award.

Another project is the solar skyway shuttle, which she said would be a demonstration project for a solar-powered skyway shuttle, that would be a demonstration of solar powered vehicles in the form of a pod car.

She said no money received for such a project.

Driftwood assault may lead to life sentence

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor man may be facing his “third strike” for allegedly attacking two strangers with a piece of driftwood in an unbalanced attempt to protect the community, according to court documents.

Eric P. Raster, 31, pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court Monday to two counts of seconddegree assault with a deadly weapon and one count of fourth-degree assault.

Raster is being held in jail in lieu of $2 million bail.

Raster is accused of attacking people who were camping Aug. 23 at the city’s RV park on South Beeksma Drive.

The alleged victims said they saw Raster, who seemed “out of it,” while they were walking on the beach, according to the police report. The trio said Raster followed them as they returned to the campsite.

Raster suddenly sprinted

to the campsite and hit one of the men in the head with a piece of driftwood.

He chased the other man around, swinging at him with the wood, while the women screamed for help, the police report states.

The woman later identified Raster from a photo line-up.

Two days later, a deputy arrested Raster after responding to a prowler complaint on Shorecrest Drive. At the police station, Raster allegedly admitted to hitting one of the campers with a stick, the report states.

Raster said he did it because he thought he “was protecting the community,” the officer wrote. Officer Lisa Powers-Rang asked him what he meant, but he just “started staring, thousand yard stare, at the wall.”

Later that day, Raster allegedly attacked a cell mate, punching the man until blood was splattered all over the man’s face, clothes and the floor of the cell, the report states.

Raster told a corrections officer that he was doing “God’s work.”

Raster was charged earlier this year after he allegedly crashed his car through barriers during the city’s Holland Happening event, forcing pedestrians to flee as he drove past vendor tents on the closed-off road, according to court documents. In that case, Raster allegedly admitted to snorting methamphetamine prior to the dangerous joyride.

He was charged with attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle, DUI and hit and run, but the case is still ongoing.

If convicted of the charges against him, Raster could face a life sentence under the state’s “third strike” law.

Court documents state that his criminal history consists of eight felonies, including robbery, burglary and assault.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said he doesn’t know yet whether Raster will be evaluated by a mental health expert.

Picnic honors military service

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Photos by Janis Reid/Whidbey News-Times

Armed services supporters turned out for Oak Harbor’s annual Military Appreciation Picnic Saturday.

A little rain couldn’t dampen the support for the armed services Saturday.

Despite some morning drizzle, Oak Harbor’s 13th annual Military Appreciation Picnic at Windjammer Park saw steady traffic from area military families and supporters.

Attendees enjoyed free hotdogs from 7-Eleven, frozen yogurt from Toppins, a pulled pork meal and other donations of time and products from Coupeville and Oak Harbor businesses and individuals.

Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, expressed his gratitude from the Naval community Monday for the ongoing support and partnership of Oak Harbor.

“The picnic is one small token of the community support,” Nortier said. “Oak Harbor and Naval Air Station Whidbey Island enjoy an enduring sense of community partnership, which can be seen daily across the city from support in the Oak Harbor school system for military families and deploy-

Old Glory flies at the Military Appreciation Picnic in Oak Harbor Saturday. ments, to the dramatic outpouring of support from the community following the loss of three crew members in March, to sailors and their families volunteering and supporting charities and civic events throughout the year.”

Nortier stressed the need for the island to continue to think and operate as a team.

“Team Whidbey is not just a motto, but a spirit that we all live and breathe, whether military or civilian,” Nortier said. “On behalf of a grateful Navy, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and all of

our sailors and their families, I would like to thank the community for the Military Appreciation Picnic.”

The event is put on by the Navy League each year to bring the community together and remind them that Oak harbor is not two communities, but one, said Oak Harbor Navy League President Jim Slowik.

Slowik, who helped plan the event, said that the weather “slowed picnic goers,” but the skies opened up just in time for a great event made possible by more than 100 volunteers.

“It’s important in a lot of ways,” Slowik said. “It’s the glue that fills between the spaces. This community is truly a combined community of Navy and civilian.”

“The picnic is a good way to show that.”

Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kathy Reed said the community response to the event was “fantastic.”

Reed said there was plenty of food left over to go to the North Whidbey Help House, and water will be kept for future charitable organizations.

Toppins Frozen Yogurt donated more than $1,200 worth of yogurt to the event, Reed said.

“Attendance was down due to the morning weather, but overall the event was well attended,” Reed said.

“Everyone had a great time, food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. We wanted to let the military know how important they are to us.”

To involve Coupeville residents in the picnic, Shelli Trumball, of Cascade Insurance on South Main Street, led the charge to acquire water, juice and soda for the event.

The City of Coupeville has taken some flack in recent months after a Coupevillearea citizens group filed a lawsuit against the Navy protesting the jet noise at Outlying Field Coupeville.

Trumball said she and other Coupeville businesses joined forces with local chambers of commerce to show their support for the Navy.

“Not ever yone in Coupeville is against the military or OLF,” Trumball said.

“This is our way of showing our support.”

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.

The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing EA-18G Growler airfield operations at NAS Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and Outlying Landing Field (OLF) Coupeville, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). In 2005 and 2012, the Navy prepared environmental analyses pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the replacement of the EA-6B Prowler aircraft with the newer EA-18G Growler aircraft at NAS Whidbey Island.

The scoping process will be used to identify community concerns and local issues to be addressed in the EIS. Three open house information sessions will be held between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the following dates: • Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at Coupeville High School (Commons Area), 501 South Main Street, Coupeville, Washington 98239; • Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at Oak Harbor High School (Student Union Building), 1 Wildcat Way, Oak Harbor, Washington 98277; and • Thursday, December 5, 2013 at Anacortes Middle School (Cafeteria), 2202 M Avenue, Anacortes, Washington 98221.

Freeland birders to debut film Sept. 12

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Seeing a yellow-rumped warbler chick waddle around like a wind-up toy is the highlight of a 53-minute movie on Whidbey Island’s birds for filmmaker and avid birder Craig Johnson.

That one scene, mere seconds, is the culmination of an 18-month journey of collecting footage and editing clips for Johnson and his wife, Joy Johnson, in the upcoming DVD “Birds, Backyard Habitat and Beyond.”

A release party, hosted by the Whidbey Audubon Society, is set for 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 12 at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

“It’s been a long time,” said Craig Johnson, who amassed 40 gigabytes of footage, about 200 hours worth. “It’s been a big project for Joy and I.” More than a year ago, the Freeland residents, authors of birding books “The Amazing Hummingbird Story of Red Rufous” and “Our Pacific Northwest Birds & Habitat,” set out to capture how birds of all sizes live around people even in their back yards.

It was born out of their

desire to showcase the ecosystem of a home as well as necessity.

Craig Johnson has a degenerative neurological disease that has made it difficult for him to get around to spot thrushes and hawks on Whidbey. That forced him to look for birds in a hyperlocal area, like his Smugglers Cove Road home near Bush Point, a hotbed of avian activity.

The film will be available to schools and other organizations for free, said the Johnsons, who are honorary lifetime members of the Whidbey Audubon Society.

Their great hope is to educate people on how their actions impact native wildlife.

Rooting out native flora like salal or spreading a chemical spray can reduce the berries and bugs that smaller birds feed on.

“We live on a magical island,” Craig Johnson said.

“We really want to inspire people to care about the creatures they live with, their neighbors.”

Joy Johnson added, “A lot of things people may not actually get to see are happening in their own backyard.”

Groups gathering petition signatures

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Since it began last month, a hand-written petition supporting the Navy and its touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville has gathered roughly 3,000 signatures, according to organizer Mac McDowell.

Recent pro-Navy efforts, which include a separate online petition and support rallies, are in response to complaints by some Coupeville residents about the noise associated with jet touch-and-go landing practices at OLF. The complaints were followed by a federal lawsuit filed by a Coupeville-based citizens group seeking to compel the Navy to complete an Environmental Impact Study and suspend landing practices at OLF in the meantime.

The Navy has since suspended its touch-andgo operations at OLF through the end of the year at OLF and initiated an Environmental Impact Study last week.

On its website, the Coupeville group is calling for the closure and relocation of OLF and said its online petition has gathered more than 1,300 signatures from around the region and country.

Former Island County commissioner Mac McDowell and City Councilman Bob Severns collect signatures on a hand-written petition at Walmart on Aug. 31. with the EA-18G Growler, an aircraft the citizen’s group claims is louder.

McDowell’s hand-written petition was conceived by the former Island County commissioner and retired Navy veteran himself.

He and his supporters are referred to as “Team McDowell.”

His petition first appeared for signatures at the Aug. 10 car show in Oak Harbor.

Since then, McDowell has also stood at the front door of Walmart gathering signatures and placed additional petitions at local busi-

nesses.

“We want to show our support to the Navy and to OLF and the operations they perform there,” McDowell said.

McDowell said his petition is not intended to replace an already-existing online petition that has gathered more than 1,500 signatures country-wide.

“This is just a snail-mail version,” he said.

Navy and OLF supporters online said they are encouraging people to sign as many petitions as they can.

While McDowell does have some visitors sign the petition, the vast majority are local residents from Oak Harbor and Coupeville.

McDowell said the most interesting thing he’s found during his signature gather-

ing is from Coupeville residents who live near OLF, but say they aren’t bothered by the noise or don’t plan to complain about it.

McDowell said he plans to collect signatures through the end of September and then send it off to topranking Navy leadership in Washington, D.C. When asked if he has a signature goal in mind, McDowell said he was just gathering “as many as possible.”

Hand-written petitions supporting the Navy can be found at Island Lock and Key, Quilter’s Workshop, Diamond Rentals and Hilltop Texaco. Online petitions for either side can be found at moveon.org and ipetitions. com

NAVY EIS CONTINUED FROM A1 affairs officer.

“Public input is very important to the process.”

An informational website will be launched for the public to access approximately three weeks in advance of the open houses, Padgett said.

After public comment is gathered, the Navy will determine the necessary scope of the EIS, he said.

The required training associated with the base will be determined, then the Navy will conduct a comprehensive noise analysis.

After a draft EIS is completed, one that includes all of the above information, more public comments will be taken, and the Navy will again address concerns.

When squadron or base facility changes are ordered, an Environmental Assessment, or EA, is routine, Brown explained. Once completed, officials determine whether or not the EA warrants the next step, an EIS. After an EA performed in 2005, the Navy determined that an EIS was not necessary, Padgett said.

An additional EA was performed in 2012, and this time, the Navy determined an EIS was necessary.

“In December, we heard about the potential for the Navy to

procure two additional squadrons of the EA-18G expeditionary aircraft,” Padgett said.

“As the budget matured, it became more of a reality and in May we received the tasking (for the EIS).”

Two expeditionary, or land-based Growler squadrons will be joining the base along with two individual Growler aircraft assigned to the base for a total of 13 additional aircraft.

Navy representatives, including Padgett, have stressed that pilots flying in expeditionary Growler squadrons do not require ongoing Field Landing Carrier Practice, or touch-and-goes, because they are land-based squadrons.

The expeditionary pilots are required to get qualified once as part of their initial training syllabus. However, they are not required to requalify touch-and-goes with each deployment like the fleet-based squadrons.

“As discussed, all Navy electronic attack squadrons, or VAQ, pilots must complete carrier qualification during their initial VAQ training,” Brown said.

“That is the one time that an expeditionary VAQ pilot will perform FCLPs. By adding two additional expeditionary squadrons, we can expect a slight increase in pilot training

requirements. Therefore, there will be a corresponding slight increase in number of pilots conducting initial training and requiring FCLP.” “The draft EIS will quantify the increase in FCLP operations.”

Brown said the VAQ community comprises both the older EA-6B and the newer EA-18G aircraft, and they expect the transition to the EA-18G to be complete in 2016 based on current fiscal budget projections.

Currently, Brown said, there are nine fleet VAQ squadrons at NAS Whidbey, three expeditionary VAQ squadrons (landbased), one reserve expeditionary VAQ squadron (landbased, moved from Andrews to Whidbey in July) and one VAQ training squadron.

In addition to the electronic attack, or VAQ, squadron, the Navy is currently transitioning from the older P-3C to the new P-8A, which is based on Boeing 737. Under a 2008 Record of Decision, the Navy would home base four P-8A squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island. The Navy is currently studying home basing either six or seven P-8A squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen announced in May that this increase will translate to an increase from 24 to 49 P-8A aircraft coming to NAS Whidbey.

Brown said that the Navy is definitely looking at this possibility but the EIS will determine the final outcome.

ENDORSEMENTS CONTINUED FROM A1 But, he added, the decision to endorse was based on the qualities of the candidates.

“The candidates were not chosen because of how they may vote on a specific issue, but what they have to offer,” he said.

The party endorsed newcomer Lucas Yonkman over incumbent Councilman Bob Severns, Sandi Peterson over Councilman Joel Servatius, and Councilman Jim Campbell over challenger Skip Pohtilla.

Geist said one of the voting party members made a motion to endorse candidate Michael Piccone over longtime Councilman Danny Paggao, but it failed to gain the two-thirds supermajority that’s required.

Geist said some Republicans were hesitant to endorse Piccone because they don’t know enough about the newcomer.

Severns said he is disappointed in the choice of endorsement.

“I don’t believe that they gave much credit to education and experience in their decision,” he said. “I have a college education in administrative management

and I have over 40 years of successful business experience.”

Severns said his many Republican friends who are also disappointed in the decision.

He added that the city is in the midst of a couple of giant, complex projects, including the wastewater treatment plant, estimated to cost more than $90 million.

Servatius wasn’t able to return a call for comment on the endorsements, but he also enjoys Republican support. Linda Haddon, a former Republican candidate for state Senate, endorsed Servatius.

Geist conceded some residents are critical of the party for becoming involved in nonpartisan races.

“Our thought is, ‘Why does a party exist than to influence government to act in a manner conforming with our principles?’” he said.

In addition, he said, the party’s bylaws instructed him to call a meeting for possible endorsements after the primary election, but a certain period before the general election. The vot-

ing members are the elected precinct committee officers.

Geist said he wasn’t involved in the voting or motions, but just led the meeting. Under the bylaws, endorsements must receive two-thirds of the vote to pass.

According to Geist, a precinct committee officer made a motion that they should not endorse anyone in nonpartisan races, but that motion failed.

The officers weren’t critical of those candidates not endorsed and agree they are all “nice guys,” Geist said, adding they didn’t discuss any of the council controversies, such as the issue over guns in city parks or a unsuccessful proposal to

ban the wearing of hats in council chambers.

Geist said the officers were impressed with Yonkman, a combat veteran wounded in Afghanistan.

“They appreciated the freshness of a young man who’s willing to offer himself up for public service,” he said. “He’s no longer able to serve his country in the military, but he’s willing to serve the city on the City Council.”

Precinct officers are very familiar with Peterson, who’s the vice chair of the Republican Party and active in the community, Geist said. Servatius, on the other hand, is a bit of “a question mark.”

Geist said the members

appreciate Campbell, who often dissents from his fellow council members in favor of Dudley’s positions. Geist said Campbell is also recognized as being “the most accessible” of the council members and for his willingness to listen to the community.

Island County Republican Party precinct officers also endorsed Richard Bowen for Port of Coupeville commissioner.

Kathy Jones, “a citizen advocate,” gave a presentation about Whidbey General

Hospital’s ballot measure, Geist said, but a motion to endorse the measure failed to garner the necessary votes.

Meanwhile, Dudley is actively campaigning for Yonkman, Peterson, Campbell and Piccone by speaking to citizens door-todoor. The mayor said he’s unapologetic about his criticism of the current majority of council members.

“I think the majority of citizens are questioning the priorities of the current City Council,” he said.

SOUND OFF City’s partnership with Oak Harbor chamber has worked for 54 years

By KATHY REED Editor’s note: The following Sound Off was submitted by Kathy Reed, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce: As I participated in a community round table recently at an Oak Harbor City Council workshop, I was pleased and encouraged to hear one person after another refer to the fact “the chamber already does that,” and “the first place people call to learn about a community is the chamber.”

That’s why it baffles me that, after being an integral part of this community for 54 years, the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce is so misunderstood by so many people — specifically Mayor Scott Dudley.

In the Aug. 21 Whidbey News-Times article, “City Council to examine chamber funding,” Dudley said he wants to re-examine the amount of funding the city gives to the chamber.

In another article Saturday, “Mayor says chamber funding review ‘politically driven,’” the mayor said he would like to see the money the city gives to the chamber used for more public events. The first story spurred several comments about the job the chamber does with citizens’ tax money and the latest story makes it clear the mayor is operating under several misconceptions.

First, many people may not know that the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce is a private, nonprofit organization that receives no sales or property tax dollars from the City of Oak Harbor. The chamber receives a portion of the city’s allotment of the state’s 2 percent hotel/ motel tax, money set aside for tourism.

Second, and most troubling to me, the mayor is saying is that the City of Oak Harbor doesn’t get a good return on its investment in the chamber.

Let me explain why he is wrong.

The chamber of commerce has a contract with the City of Oak Harbor for 2013 for the “maintenance and operation of tourist information facility.” This is the first singleyear contract the chamber has had in recent memory.

Previous contracts were for multiple years and for more money.

Of the contracted amount for 2013, $72,000 — which is just 45 percent of the city’s $160,000 allotment — more than 97 percent is used for the annual operating costs of the Visitor Information Center, which leaves us less than $2,000 to promote tourist activities and events.

Letters to the editor

Bond

When minutes count, hospital is invaluable Editor, Having moved to a practice where a large portion of our volume is composed of vacationers, I recognize how important updated high quality medical facilities can be to the local residents as well.

This is especially true on Whidbey Island where the majority of Whidbey General’s utilization is, in fact, by locals.

Insurance companies and our government can, and do, increase our rates without a vote.

Gas prices will go up 32.2 cents per gallon in a week and we will pump away.

When life-threatening minutes count, 32.2 cents per $1,000 assessed property value is cheap insurance comparatively, having an up-to-date life-saving facility close to home.

Having basic services for convenience is also valuable.

I recall operating on a patient at Whidbey General who originally voted against the bond.

After surgery his wife stated that they now realize that supporting new and improved facilities was not worth cents on the dollar in taxes, “It’s worth a

million bucks when you need it.”

An astute majority of Whidbey Island residents recognized this on the last vote, I do hope it’s a supermajority this time around.

Dr. Fru Bahiraei Former Whidbey General Hospital doctor Mammoth Lakes, Calif.

Navy

Notice of intent is just the beginning Editor, The Navy has announced it will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement on the addition of yet more new planes at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station as well as “baseline operations at NASWI and OLF Coupeville.”

The key words are “baseline operation.” Very clearly, as those words pertain to our federal lawsuit, they do not include EA-18Gs at NAS Whidbey.

The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve’s, or COER, suit addresses the impacts of the decision to bring the Growlers to NAS Whidbey in the first instance, the subject of the seriously flawed 2005 EA. Our position very clearly is that “baseline operations” do not include the operation of the Growlers at NAS Whidbey.

A bit of history is helpful.

In 2005, the Navy proposed stationing the Growlers at NAS Whidbey. It prepared a fraudulent environmental assessment, the 2005 Environmental Assessment, claiming the jets at Outlying Field would be less loud than the EA6Bs they were replacing and they would be flying fewer operations at OLF, both blatant misrepresentations.

We all know now that the Growlers are louder and that flight operations steadily increased at OLF until they were up over 300 percent in 2012 and well on their way to even a larger number of operations in 2013 until we filed the federal suit and they shut down for the remainder of 2013.

Using their fraudulent 2005 assessment the Navy claimed there were no impacts from the transition to the Growlers and made the decision to base them at NAS Whidbey.

This EA and decision is what we challenge now in federal court. The Navy is trying to bootstrap the Growlers into “baseline operations,” as if their existence at NAS Whidbey is a foregone conclusion and part of the status quo.

Wrong. Our lawsuit challenges the flawed assessment and the decision to bring the Growlers to NAS Whidbey in the first instance.

More letters While the Notice of Intent to do an EIS has been filed by the Navy, the process is just beginning. The scoping of the EIS is the next big round of activity and we are very well poised and prepared to weigh into that process in a big way with our capable attorneys and expert witnesses.

We will be insisting that the Navy go back to that much earlier decision in 2005 to bring the Growlers to NAS Whidbey.

We will not be dismissing our lawsuit until the Navy complies with the law in every detail.

COER will also be seeking injunctive relief to prevent any use of OLF until a full disclosure is made in the EIS of all impacts upon humans, animals, the environment, the Ebey’s Reserve, property values, etc. with a scientifically and truthfully researched EIS under the watchful eyes of the courts and COER.

Training needed for Navy to work Editor, I am writing in regards to our Navy personal who fly our Naval jets. First off, I am not a military wife, but I do have a relative who is in the Air Force who is part of a team on one of our military planes.

It is true our military jets/ planes makes loud noises.

How can our military personnel do their duty by protecting our country if they cannot train on our military

Oak Harbor

Servatius’ actions speak volumes Editor, Voters must weigh many factors when casting a ballot. Joel Servatius serves on the Oak Harbor City Council because he truly cares about our community.

He and I worked together on the chamber board for several years.

He was a responsible board member and even brought his children to meetings in car seats so he wouldn’t miss a meeting.

Joel’s business acumen and knowledge of sound business practices made him invaluable to our board.

Joel’s wife was active-duty Navy.

He has always been a staunch supporter of our military service men and women.

He is a solid, valuable councilman.

It is truly a shame when politics becomes riddled with ridicule and slander. Apparently some have not heard the saying: “You can’t sling mud without getting some on yourself.”

When you fill out your ballot just remember, “actions speak louder than words” and vote for Joel.

This reflects a funding cut of $8,000 from the previous contract.

We also received a separate grant from the city for $4,200 for tourism advertising.

The wonderful thing about the partnerships many cities form with their local chambers is that it gives everyone more bang for their buck. The city’s 50 cents and the chamber’s 50 cents, when combined, make a dollar, so actually we split the cost for running our Visitor Information Center down the middle.

Those costs include the mortgage on the building, rent for the property — owned by the school district — utilities, facility maintenance and upkeep, postage for information and relocation packages mailed to interested parties, copier costs, and staff time for our VIC manager. This partnership doubles the city’s investment and makes each dollar go further.

What’s not included in those costs, and what the city also gets, is: the time the rest of my staff and I devote to tourism and tourism promotion — about half of our hours; two wellattended events, Holland Happening and the 4th OH July, for which we raise 100 percent of the funds needed to purchase the fireworks; assistance with other community events such as

&

the Military Appreciation Picnic; and a convenient location that’s easy for visitors to find and use.

The Oak Harbor Chamber answers hundreds of phone calls each year from people all over the country and assists thousands of local residents and tourists in the Visitor’s Center each year. We provide tourist information for Oak Harbor and other Whidbey Island communities to thousands of visitors at the “Whidbey on Wheels” Wagon, which is located at the Deception Pass Bridge parking area.

Even a small cut in the funding from the city would mean a loss of services to local residents and visitors who use the chamber each year.

The mayor believes the chamber needs to do more events. As it is, the city doesn’t pay for Holland Happening or the 4th OH July. Our members and event fees do.

None of the city’s money is used to put on any chamber events. The city provides much-needed, and greatly appreciated support from police, fire and other services during these events, but none of the city’s money is used to actually plan and carry out these functions.

The chamber solicits funds from its membership and charges nominal fees to put them on.

Cutting the chamber’s funding means cutting events, not adding more. It means one or more of my staff loses a job, further reducing our capacity to support and staff events.

Depending on how much is cut from the chamber’s funding, the operating hours for the Visitor Information Center would be affected.

We added hours for the summer months to accommodate a growing number of tourists. If we lose funding, the center could potentially close, meaning the chamber would simply concentrate on member programs and activities rather than tourism information and promotion.

While the idea of shifting funds from the chamber to an event planner for the city may seem like a good one to the mayor, the city would also have to pick up the costs of running an information center on top of the salary and benefits for a paid employee, who would still have to solicit funds to put on activities.

City staff will be required to do what the chamber does every day: tend to visitors, pass out brochures, give directions, partner with other organizations for special event sign-ups, take dozens of phone calls and prepare relocation and information packets for mailing.

How much is that going to cost the city?

Think it through; there is a reason cities and chambers all over the country join forces. It’s because both sides recognize you can get more done together than alone. Cutting chamber funding won’t save the city money. It will cost the city, and ultimately the taxpayers, more.

The reason this year’s chamber contract was reduced to a year was because the city council hoped the mayor would be able to strike a working relationship with the chamber and its new director. I met with the mayor on multiple occasions and told him I look forward to making the partnership between the city and the chamber better than ever. The chamber has demonstrated its willingness and ability to partner with others to put on great events.

The only person turning chamber funding into a political issue is the mayor.

The chamber has had a wonderful partnership with the city for 54 years.

Sometimes business is done the same way year after year for a very good reason, because it works.

This is not an us-versusthem issue. We should all be in this together.

Johnson

Claxton Ray ‘Johnny’ Johnson

Master Chief Petty Officer, USN, Retired June 20, 1937 Sept. 4, 2013 Claxton R. Johnson Sr. passed Sept. 4, 2013, in his Oak Harbor home, with Barbara, his loving and supportive wife of 51 years by his side.

Georgia Ann and James Awbrey Johnson welcomed their first son Claxton R. Johnson on June 20, 1937, in Malone, Ala. His farming roots, community and family were important to him throughout his life.

Combining the strong work ethic and moral values he learned growing up on the farm with his parents and eight brothers and sisters, he found opportunity and success by enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1955 at age 17.

While stationed in Virginia Beach he met and married a strong guiding force in his life, Barbara Ann Haynes.

Together they started a family and forged a long illustrious Naval career, the majority at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Oak Harbor. Living in Oak Harbor since 1966, they raised five children and through commitment, loyalty and determination to one another they accomplished the goals they set out to achieve. Claxton and Barbara are a love story of dedication to one another through thick

and memories utilizing the Book of Memories hosted

by Wallin Funeral Home at www.wallinfuneralhome.com and thin. Barbara matched his strength and helped him to be the leader he became.

Claxton cherished and nurtured that bond with respect and courage until the end.

He served honorably and faithfully in the U.S. Navy for 30 years and after his retirement, worked another 10-plus years for Grumman, Inc. as a technical representative. Through many demanding Naval assignments he was formerly recognized for making significant contributions to the A-6 and EA-6B aircraft maintenance community. These same career traits translated into his family and personal life.

Education was important to Claxton and Barbara.

Together they sent and supported all of their children through college and career choices; each completing college with degrees ranging from associates to master degrees, and careers ranging from graphic design, business, education, fashion design and communications. Additionally, he was a founding member of the Oak Harbor Black Citizens Association (OHBCA), an organization that developed community awareness and provided college scholarships for local high school students of color. In 2005, he was proud to attend his 50th high school class reunion from Randolph County Training School.

Claxton had an incredible green thumb producing cabbages the size of basketballs and footlong green beans. He was generous with his produce giving to family, friends and community organizations.

Claxton had a natural affinity for home construction, becoming an excellent builder, designing two additions to his home. Being an accomplished mechanic, he could fix and repair anything. To the very end, he was sharp. From his bed, he was directing the installation of home items, giving meticulous and detailed instructions from memory.

Living out his faith and devotion to God, family, and community he was a strong

force; a member of Church on the Rock, formerly First Baptist Church in Oak Harbor for 30-plus years.

Steady, honest and consistent, he was appointed to financial secretary, faithfully serving for many years.

Claxton leaves many legacies and he inspired others in all he did. Claxton embodied the essence of integrity and excellence, giving generously and committed to the right things: his family, friends, community and country. He was courageous to the end.

Claxton is preceded in death by his father, James Awbrey Johnson, mother, Georgia Ann Johnson, and a brother Vinson Johnson.

Claxton is survived by his wife Barbara Ann Haynes Johnson; his children: Anita Johnson, of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Claxton Johnson Jr. (Anita), of Fredericksburg, Va.; Darice Johnson, of Kent, Wash.; Erica Millbrooks (Ronald), of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Bryan Johnson (Robyn), of Houston, Texas; Ricky Haynes (brotherin-law); grandchildren: Raqhelle Millbrooks, Layla Millbrooks, Claxton Ray Johnson III, Belinda Johnson and Anala Millbrooks.

Siblings, Rudolph Johnson (Shirley) Juline McClinton (Lonnie-d), Frances Williams, Tommy Johnson (Johnnie Mae), Edward Johnson, Sidney Johnson (Magdalene), Shirley Walker and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Services will be held 2 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 12 at Church on the Rock, 1780 S.E. Fourth Ave., Oak Harbor, WA 98277. Viewing will be held 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11 at Wallin Funeral Home. Flowers may be sent to Wallin Funeral Home.

Donations may be sent to Randolph County Training School Scholarship Fund on behalf of Claxton Johnson, P.O. Box 1411 Roanoke, AL 36274 Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Homes and Cremation. Friends and family are encouraged to share condolences

After her husband’s retirement in 1974, they traveled extensively, visiting their children in all four corners of the country. They finally settled in Oak Harbor, where Dot became involved in her new community. She was an active member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, Retired Officer’s Wives Club, American Red Cross, Republican Women, Soroptimist, Neutral Zone for Kids, Skagit Valley College Foundation Board, Boys and Girls Club and many other service organizations.

Monteith

Donovan E. Monteith Donovan Ector Monteith died Sept. 6, 2013 at Whidbey General Hospital at the age of 94. He was born Feb. 13, 1919 in Redwood City, Calif. to Andrew and Vera Monteith. Donovan was raised in Redwood City and then moved with his parents to Alhambra, Calif., where he graduated from high school.

He attended Pasadena Community College for two years before he was drafted into the U.S. Army.

Donovan was assigned to the 419 Signal Corp Company in 1941 and sent to special training at Fort Monmouth, N.J., where he was trained in military electronics and communications. He was transferred to Australia, where he was instrumental in developing a high power communications system for the South West Pacific Command and earned him the title of Chief Radio Mechanic.

Following the war, Donovan returned to the states and went to work for Pacific Bell Telephone Company as a PBX repairman, working on switch boards and large dial systems. He was sent to repair

a system at the Bank of America building in downtown Los Angeles and met a young operator, Velma Wuethrich, who had a vast knowledge of the problems with the system. Donovan was amazed at her ability to diagnose the problems.

Donovan fell in love with her but nothing transpired for one year, until he received a call from Velma asking him to escort her to a birthday party. Soon they both discovered they were in love and on Nov. 14, 1948, they were married in Pasadena, Calif. They honeymooned in Hawaii and returned to California.

Donovan and Velma moved into a new home in Alhambra and also purchased a cabin in the mountains of Idyllwild, Calif. to escape the L.A. smog. Three children were added to the Monteith Family and they eventually moved to Monterey Park, where they built a new home with an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean. Donovan was involved in the construction of much of the communications equipment in Hollywood and Burbank for the major television shows and was able to get tickets for his children to attend the shows and meet some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Donovan retired from Pacific Bell with 38 years of service. He began his career at a PBX repairman and retired as Senior Engineer. Donovan was a member of the American Radio Relay League and a Ham radio operator for most of his adult life, with the call sign WG7W, a member of the Telecommunications Workers of America, the United States Power Squadron, the NRA and the Republican Party.

Donovan is survived by one daughter Donna Monteith Lay, son Michael and granddaughter Lindsey Thompson. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Velma on July 29, 2013, by his son-in-law Chris in June of this year and by one son Mark. Cremation was held with private interment to follow at San Gabriel Cemetery, San Gabriel, Calif., alongside his beloved Velma.

A Celebration of Life for Donovan is 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013 at Wallin Funeral Home in Oak Harbor. A reception will follow. Friends and family are encouraged to share condolences and memories in the Book of Memories hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www. wallinfuneralhome.com

Oak Harbor deflates pumped up Panthers 38-20

By Jim Waller Sports editor

Snohomish was hyped.

Oak Harbor was better.

The Wildcats ripped the new-look Panthers 38-20 in the season-opening football game at Snohomish’s Veterans Memorial Stadium Friday, Sept 6.

A long-time Snohomish coach said before the game he hadn’t seen the players, coaches and fans so “jazzed” for a game in a long time. The storied Snohomish program is among the state leaders in wins and dominated the football scene in the area for many years.

Behind legendary coach Dick Armstrong and then his disciple, Mark Perry, the Panthers relied on oldschool, smash-mouth power football to pile up wins and titles for the past 50 seasons.

Wins, however, were tough to come by lately and Snohomish turned to firstyear coach Kai Smalley and his modern spread offense.

The change lit a spark under the Panther Nation.

The euphoria lasted about 10 minutes into Friday’s game.

Oak Harbor, behind dominant line play, manhandled the Panthers. The Wildcats rushed for 448 yards, thanks to a push up front that led to Dejon Devroe’s 220 yards and Julian Faralan’s 132.

Gage Eccleston also rushed for 69 yards.

The game answered a few questions for the Oak Harbor coaching staff.

Head coach Jay Tuner

said, “We are so young.

During warm ups I looked out and noticed we had more sophomores on the field than seniors. But the bright Friday night lights didn’t cause any problems.”

The Wildcats returned a veteran line, but all of the skill players were untested. The newbies passed the exam.

Along with the efforts of first-time starters Devroe and Faralan, new quarterback Clay Doughty hit 6-of-11 passes for 90 yards, two scores and no interceptions. Another rookie, Dyllan Harris, caught three of the passes for 70 yards and a score.

Much of the credit needs to go to the not-so-new interior line of Tyler Adamson, Jackson Constant, Matt Zafra, Ray Quinday and Blaine Coleman — with an assist from tight ends Troy Sturdevant and Rhys Mattila.

After holding Snohomish to one first down to start the game, Oak Harbor went 71 yards in 2:30 for the game’s first score. Faralan’s 26-yard run put the ball inside the 20, and then Sturdevant outwrestled a Snohomish DB on Doughty’s first varsity pass for a 13-yard score. Mark Johnston kicked the first of five extra points.

What happened next may have been the most important series of the game.

Dejon Devroe hits the hole in Friday’s big win over Snohomish. The junior ran for 220 yards. on downs. The once jazzed Panthers took a psychological hit, then another when Oak Harbor marched 80 yards in nine minutes to go up 10-0 on Johnson’s 25-yard field goal.

The drive included converting, by inches, a fourthand-1 at the Oak Harbor 26.

The Oak Harbor defense continued to haunt Snohomish and stopped the Panthers on fourth-and-1 at the Snohomish 48.

Faralan picked up 36 yards on four carries, Devroe scored from the 4 and Oak

Harbor led 17-0 with 4:32 left in the half.

Oak Harbor’s game wasn’t flawless. Snohomish was able to complete several long passes; the first was for a 49-yard score with 1:45 left in the half. The 2-point PAT pass made it 17-8.

Undeterred, Oak Harbor struck right back. Devroe returned the kick off 40 yards to the Snohomish 45.

During the quick drive, he tacked on a 17-yard run and Harris covered 22 yards on a double reverse. With 15 seconds remaining, Harris

and a Snohomish defensive back locked up in a simultaneous catch in the end zone that resulted in a 22-yard Oak Harbor score, and the ‘Cats led 24-8 at the break.

Oak Harbor turned the ball over on downs to begin the second half, and two plays later Snohomish scored on a 43-yard pass, making it 24-14.

Again Oak Harbor responded, driving 80 yards in six minutes. The key play was a 36-yard Doughty to Harris pass to help overcome a holding penalty. Faralan scored from the 5.

It was three-and-out for Snohomish, and on thirdand-6 from the Oak Harbor 9, Harris bolted 91-yards on the second play of the fourth quarter for Oak Harbor’s final score.

Snohomish scored with 1:40 left to finish the scoring.

Mattila led the Oak Harbor defense with six tackles, one for a loss, and a sack. Ben Danielson and Sturdevant also had sacks. Adamson, Devroe, Chris Humphries and Zach Jones all had a tackle for a loss. Sturdevant finished with five tackles, and Eccleston, Harris, Savion Hollins-Passmore and Nathanael Stanford had four each.

Turner noted the defensive stats were “not real impressive as we were not on defense much of the game.”

The Panthers had only 45 snaps to 72 for Oak Harbor.

Turner said, “We handled the adversity well; that is what the coaches were most pleased about. This is a great group of kids. We don’t have any stars, just a bunch of guys who want to play.”

The competition will pick up the next two weeks when Oak Harbor meets 4A schools Arlington and Lake Stevens in nonleague games.

Lake Stevens and Arlington were predicted to finish 1-2 in the Wesco 4A North in the preseason coaches’ poll.

Arlington is up first, coming to Oak Harbor a 7 p.m.

Coupeville opens its season with 32-0 romp over Vikings

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The breakout season started with a shutout.

Coupeville High School football coach Tony Maggio said several weeks ago this should be a breakout season for his club. The Wolves backed up that statement with a 32-0 thumping of Bellevue Christian Friday, Sept. 6, at Mickey Clark Field.

“The boys had a pretty good game,” Maggio said.

Pretty good, indeed.

Coupeville received strong play along many fronts and featured a stingy defense.

“I don’t know the last time Coupeville had a shutout,” Maggio said.

The big “D” was led by Big Nick. Nick Streubel, the Wolves’ 280-pound tackle, terrorized Bellevue Christian with three sacks, three tackles for losses, seven solo tackles and five assists.

“He was dominant,” Maggio said.

Maggio added that Streubel and the Wolves’ push up front forced the Vikings to one-step drops in their passing game because they couldn’t hold back the Coupeville surge.

Maggio called Jarrod

Dickson’s game at outside linebacker “outstanding,” and noted that Tyree Booker and Matt Hampton hauled in interceptions. Wade Schaef had another wiped out by a penalty.

Jake Tumblin, Josh Bayne and Carson Risner were also among the leaders in tackles.

“Our defense was great,” Maggio said. “The kids did everything they were taught.”

Offensively, it took awhile for the Wolves to get over first-game nerves and to figure out how to handle BC top lineman Tate Razor and the Viking linebackers.

“We had a problem mov-

ing the ball in the first quarter,” Maggio said. “We had problems blocking Razor and picking up their linebackers.”

Once they got Razor and the BC defense under control and Coupeville quarterback Gunnar Langvold got over early jitters, it was all Wolves.

Maggio said Langvold was “a little hyped up” and “a little bit off” in the beginning. After settling in, Langvold threw for two scores and ran for another.

Langvold’s first TD toss was a 20-yarder to Schaef for the game’s first score. Bayne kicked the extra point.

Brett Arnold, who led

CHS runners with 56 yards on 11 carries, scored on a four-yard run later in the second quarter. The PAT failed and Coupeville went into the locker room up 13-0.

Langvold scored on a quarterback sneak in the third quarter; the 2-point PAT failed.

Two big plays finished the scoring. In the fourth quarter, Bayne returned a punt 54 yards to put the game out of reach, and then Anthony Bergeron put an exclamation point on the win with a 70-yard TD catch from Langvold.

Joel Walstad kicked the

PAT after Bayne’s score.

Langvold overcame the slow start and three dropped passes to finish 6-for-17 for 155 yards.

Bayne caught three of the passes for 56 yards.

Langvold also rushed four times for 37 yards, and Bayne carried the ball three times for 35 yards.

Tumblin, Coupeville’s leading rusher last year, finished with 15 yards on three carries in limited action because of a hamstring injury.

The Wolves head to Port Townsend at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, for game two.

Dogs and their handlers converge on Windjammer Park this weekend for fast-paced Dog Agility Trials

By RON NEWBERRY

Dog Agility Trials

At 63, retired and recovered from knee replacement surgery, Jean Wells can’t get around as quickly as she once did.

But she couldn’t dream of sitting still for long.

Not with the intent stares she gets from Diggity and Moxy. And certainly not when your front yard is a canine obstacle course that is the equivalent of a Disneyland for dogs.

When Wells retired as a purchasing agent for Whidbey General Hospital five years ago, she shifted her focus and energies to her first love as a dog trainer.

Wells has been training dogs for more than 25 years, spending considerable time the past 17 specializing in dog agility instruction.

Dog owners come from all parts of Island and Skagit counties to travel to Wells’ vast Coupeville property to learn and turn their dogs loose on her two-acre obstacle course.

Wells owns Wish-n-Wells Dog Training, using her teaching methods to get dogs and their owners ready

The public is invited to watch the Dog Agility Trials Sept. 13-15 at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor. The competition starts at noon Friday and begins at 8 a.m.

Saturday and Sunday.

for agility and obedience competitions.

One such competition will take place this weekend near the Oak Harbor waterfront. Hundreds of dogs will converge on Windjammer Park for the Dog Agility Trials, starting at noon Friday, Sept. 13, and running through Sunday.

The Bell Vernon Kennel Association is putting on the American Kennel Clublicensed event. Wells is cochair along with close friend and former student Susen Dasch.

The trials feature dogs following their owners’ commands and running through timed obstacle courses.

Some dogs are chasing AKC titles, while others are at the novice level trying to move up the ranks.

This is the 13th year that the dog agility trials will be

She remembers when dog agility started becoming popular nationally in 1995 and becoming intrigued by it. Within a year, she started to buy equipment, had obstacles built and started teaching the new sport.

“There was nobody around to do it,” Wells said.

“It was kind of like cutting edge.”

The nearest places to compete in a dog agility trial

Dog trainer Jean Wells of Coupeville holds Moxy, her miniature poodle, at her training facility.

back then was Portland or Spokane. Now, she said, dog agility trials are held throughout the Pacific Northwest and country on any given weekend.

Wells and Dasch formed a friendship over their their mutual love for dogs and competitions and have spent the past 12 years traveling to events around the Northwest.

“I’m the only one who can put up with her driving,” Dasch joked. “We get on the freeway and ‘Oh my God.’” “I’ve got a bit of a lead foot,” Wells said.

Journeys to such competitions has become a big part of their lifestyles. Dog agility can be just as beneficial to the handler in terms of exercise and forms bonds between the dog and owner, Wells said.

“I think that’s one of the reasons that people like coming to me,” Wells said.

“It’s one of those spots where you can let your dogs off leash and they get to play. It’s a game basically.

“Agility is a game we play on weekends in the park with our dogs and they love it.”

The object of most of Wells’ attention these days is Moxy, a miniature poodle, and Diggity, an Australian shepherd.

Derby leaps through a hoop as part of an agility practice run.

When Dasch comes from Oak Harbor to visit Wells, her Australian shepherd Derby lets her know how excited he is. He gets to see his cousin, Diggity, and play in the ring.

“A lot of the herding

breeds do well in competition,” Wells said. “They’re bred to work with man.

Sometimes the hunting breeds, their noses get them into trouble. But a lot of labs are doing really good.”
