OH mayor launching his own TV interview show

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley plans to direct and star in his own TV show.

Skeptical council members, however, say they would consider the production a comedy if it wasn’t for the dramatic waste of staff time.

During a recent meeting, Dudley urged the members of the City Council to bring back the standing committee meetings, which were replaced with one large workshop each month.

Dudley emphasized that the four monthly

standing committee meetings were videotaped and televised on Channel 10 and available for viewing on the city’s website so that citizens can also keep track of what’s happening.

But the council decided to continue with a once-monthly workshop and forego the standing committee meetings. Council members said that makes best use of everyone’s time.

Dudley wasn’t pleased, so he’s decided to interview department heads in front of cameras in an effort to make up for the loss of meetings.

Another Native American tribe is claiming damages as a result of the city of Oak Harbor’s road construction project that disturbed an ancient burial ground two years ago.

The Samish Indian Nation filed a complaint for damages against the city this summer.

The tribe is seeking $20,000 in damages.

Oak Harbor City Supervisor Larry Cort said the city forwarded the complaint to the city’s insurance agency. He said the city hasn’t heard anything further from the Samish since the complaint was filed.

The Samish, a relatively small tribe based in Anacortes, is seeking just a fraction of what the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community is demanding from the city for the grave desecration.

The Swinomish Tribe filed a $9-million complaint for damages followed by an ongoing, class-action lawsuit against the city and three contractors involved in the project.

Leslie Eastwood, the Portland attorney for the Samish, said the tribe isn’t seeking punitive damages, as the Swinomish are, so the amount demanded is much less. She said the $20,000 See BONES, A12

Cancer survivor pedals bike to inspire others

By JIM WALLER Staff reporter

Jim Waller / Whidbey News-Times

Randolph Westphal and his dog Nanook pause in Coupeville on a ride down Whidbey Island.

Westphal has criss-crossed the world on a bike since 1987 to encourage fellow cancer survivors to “never give up.”

“Never give up” is Randolph Westphal’s mantra.

He should know. He has survived 28 cancer surgeries.

But that’s not all. Westphal was gone under the knife 48 times for various other ailments, including an artificial hip and knee.

“When I die,” he said, “they won’t put me in a cemetery; they will put me in a junk yard.”

In all, he has spent more than five years of his life in a hospital.

Now he spends most of his time on a bicycle trying to inspire others to fight on regardless of their setbacks.

He bikes around the world with his two dogs Nanook and Chinook, stopping in various towns and at their newspapers to spread the word that if “he can do it, so can you.”

Westphal, who is from outside Frankfurt, Germany,

rode down Whidbey Island this week as part of his sixth world tour.

The tours began in 1987 and have covered over 211,000 kilometers and 26 years. His dogs are his companions, and they are now third generation of the same bloodline.

The huskies often help pull his bike up hills and ride on an attached cart on the declines: “I’m spoiling them.”

Westphal said his tours do not have a set pattern and he zig-zags across the continents.

Currently he is in the middle of his second trip around North America and expects to finish up in May -- or November -- what ever strikes him as the right time.

He’ll head back to Germany for a few months and probably hit the road again when the itch strikes him or when he is inspired by the many letters he receives from supporters.

He has no sponsor. “They just want you to raise money,” he said, and his goal isn’t to build capital but to help spread hope to those stricken by cancer.

“Cancer is 80 percent man made,” he said. “We are very selfish.”

He lives on the generosity and donations of those he meets. The Coachman Inn in Oak Harbor, for example, housed him for two nights this week.

His trips haven’t been without peril. In 1996 in Argentina, he was hit by a car. The accident killed his first dog and nearly severed his right leg. The driver did not stop and Westphal almost bled to death. The local doctors wanted to amputate his leg. Some friends, however, funded a trip to a German hospital in Buenos Aries and payed for his treatment.

In his typical battle for survival, he fought for his leg, though it led to many more surgeries.

He also lost his memory in the accident and it took years to recover it.

He had a diary and returned to spots he had written about, such as the Grand Canyon, and that helped the memory switch come back on.

In New Zealand he slipped off the road on a mountain pass, grasping at anything to keep from sliding deeper down a ravine. His bike ended 30 feet above ground in a tree. He was eventually rescused by some passing tourists who stopped to take a photograph of the same scene he was admiring when he fell.

While in Canada in 20022003, he biked 153 consecutive days in sub-freezing weather.

“When it got to be 51 below, I spent a night in a hotel,” he said. “The next day it was only 40 below, so I took off again.”

And then there were encounters with various wolves and bears, he said.

But on he goes as he has since his first surgery when he was 29 years old.

Now at 55, this may be his last bicycle tour. The next one will most likely be on a motorcycle, he said. “I’m getting tired. I think I will get a side car for my dogs.”

Commissioners hone in on finished budget

Seventy-five named chief petty officer in traditional ceremony ‘We are put here to make a difference’

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Seventy-five sailors stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station assumed the duties and responsibilities of a chief petty officer at a pinning ceremony Sept. 13.

The 75 NAS Whidbey chiefs were part of more than 200 sailors stationed in the Pacific Northwest participated in similar pinning ceremonies on or in the surrounding communities of Naval Base Kitsap and Naval Station Everett, honoring a 120-year naval tradition of the chief petty officer.

“It’s all about brotherhood,” said Senior Chief Electricians Mate Rowell Ducay, Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center, Puget Sound.

“The main thing of being a chief is that we are put here to make a difference for our sailors.”

Upon receiving news of their promotion in August, the new chiefs immediately starting participating

in phase two of a process designed to prepare them for the duties and responsibilities of a CPO. “NBK and Navy Region Northwest have the CPO 365 training down. They really taught all of us a great deal during this process,” said Chief Legalman Dana Martinez, Region Legal Service Office. “We learned so much about the what it means to be a chief and all about deck plate leadership.”

Throughout phase two, new chiefs were mentored by current chiefs and learned lessons in leadership

and on naval history as well as the heritage of the CPO community. During this process they also participated in multiple community relations projects.

During the ceremonies, the selects were pinned by family and friends, and received their chief combination cover from their chief sponsor.

“It’s an awesome feeling.

It’s an honor to be a part of the chief’s mess, and to be finally recognized for all my hard work and all my sailor’s hard work,” said Chief Master at Arms Brennon

McClure.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Navy Region Northwest Command Master Chief Brian Schell read the guiding principles to the new chiefs.

“I am proud and very pleased to welcome these new chiefs into our chiefs mess,” said Schell.

“I really want the new chiefs to know, embrace and live by the guiding principles that I just read and if they do that, they will be a great chief.”

The Island County commissioners have reached consensus on a number of key elements of the 2013 county budget.

With a few more budget meetings to go, the commissioners may continue to make small changes to the county’s $22-million operating budget and the supplemental budget requests made by department heads until the Oct. 7 public hearing.

The largest chunk of supplemental funds is being allocated to the Island County Sheriff’s office, providing for four additional deputies, one additional corrections officer, training, two new vehicles and updated equipment.

The amount was not as much as Sheriff Mark Brown had requested, but he said he was pleased with the $478,000 increase and is “excited to move forward.”

“This is a phased-in process and I call this phase one,” Brown said. “I will certainly try to do everything in my power to ensure what we have will be put to good use.”

Commissioners opted to add three patrol officers and the fourth will replace one of the current officers who will be promoted to detective to focus on drug enforcement.

“We are meeting some specific community needs with that investment,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said.

She added that she believed the additional corrections officer will contribute to overtime control and “cost savings down the road.”

The county has benefitted from previous years’ rigorous budget cuts that have contributed to the county’s current $9-million reserve fund.

Revenues outpaced expenditures by $1.6 million in 2011, $1.9 million in 2012 and this year’s projection are for a minimum of $1.5 million.

Commissioners are looking at spending some of this in areas that have previously experience deep cuts.

The board decided to remove a $1.9-million, lawand-justice levy from the November ballot this month at the suggestion of Johnson, who noticed the county’s large fund balance and persuaded fellow commissioners to reverse their decision.

Though a request for a part-time receptionist was removed, the county’s prosecuting attorney’s office will receive $116,000 for an additional criminal prosecutor.

Commissioners bumped up one-time funding for central services from $160,000 to $405,000 to pay for telephone and computer system upgrades.

The Planning Department was allotted a $75,000 contingency for the mandated state growth management program.

While cuts were made, overall the supplemental budget total increased from $1.6 million to $1.8 million.

Public Health’s $103,000 request was increased to $151,000 because the department struggled with stagnant revenues and increasing costs, said Public Health Director Keith Higman.

Kites soar despite weather forecast

By MEGAN HANSEN Contributing Editor

Sporadic weather didn’t stop Whidbey Island Fliers last weekend from putting on another kite festival.

“It is tough when the weather is tough,” said organizer Lisa Root. “I think we had good support and turnout.”

Rain held out Saturday, giving competitive fliers the chance to take to the field in precision and ballet competitions.

Root said because of weather predictions most of the competitions were held Saturday.

“We had to move competition up to Saturday to get them done,” Root said.

Saturday offered breaks of sun and scatter clouds, but minimal wind. At times it completely dropped off.

The two teams of Revolution fliers didn’t get

to compete. Revolutions are four-stringed kites and are often used in synchronized flying. Root is a member of the Oddsquad, a Whidbeybased Revolution team.

“The wind just wasn’t what my team could fly in,” she said.

The other team, Island Quad, made up of flyers from British Columbia and Washington, were able to get a bit of flying in on Saturday, but not for competition.

Sunday offered strong winds and scattered showers.

Weather didn’t detour many attending the event Sunday.

“It was really surprising to me,” Root said. “The wind was blowing so hard Sunday.”

While the weather didn’t cooperate for a children’s event called a “Teddy Bear Drop,” organizers turned

Root said at least a dozen kids attended Sunday and walked away with teddy bear.s Children visited a kids kite making booth both days where they created their own hand-made kites.

The wind was strong enough to fly the lightweight kites, and children flew them in an open flying field and wherever else they could find.

“I think all in all there were a good amount of people there and we put on a good show with the weather we had,” she said.

Nearly 300 prizes were donated for the raffle, the club’s main fundraiser for the year.

Prizes were donated from kite vendors as well as residents and businesses in and around Coupeville.

Olsons enjoying a call of the wild as owners of Whidbey Wild Bird

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

As pretty as some birdhouses go, the ones that make Mike Dessert cuckoo are those outfitted with a tiny stick poking out of the front.

“If you ever see a birdhouse that has a perch, it’s not a real birdhouse,” Dessert said. “You don’t find perches around cavity holes in the wild. There’s a reason for that. It’s so predatory birds don’t eat the young birds.

“If you see a perch outside, it’s a decorative.”

Dessert is a retired shipyard worker who takes his part-time job at the Whidbey Wild Bird store seriously.

Well, sort of. He said he works one day a week for the employee discount he gets to feed his “seed habit.”

He also finds sharing his bird knowledge to be quite fun.

“I was supposed to be here three weeks,” he said.

“I’ve been at it three years.”

Dessert even precedes the store’s owners, Bob and Claudia Olson, who purchased the business on Pioneer Way from Phil and Lydia Sikes two years ago.

The Olsons, Dessert and Connie Kemp make up the knowledge base that offers bird lovers and other nature enthusiasts on North Whidbey a place to gain insight, buy seed or shop around for field guides, feeder, or other accessories for wild birds or other outdoor creatures.

“Our interest in the bird store goes back about 35 years,” Bob Olson said. “We were very interested at one time in purchasing the Wild Birds Unlimited franchise down in Clinton from the

original franchise owners.

We wanted to move it up to Oak Harbor.

“I was still active duty Navy at the time and was thinking about getting out because I was approaching 20 years.”

But deeper financial considerations and “a set of orders to Japan” tabled that dream for another day. It turned out, that opportunity arrived more than three decades later when a store that catered to wild birds in Oak Harbor went up for sale and the Olsons dreams of a bird business took flight.

“I’ve always been interested in nature and natural things,” Claudia said, “even when I was a little girl.”

According to a 2011 survey released by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, about 46.7 million people in the United States observed birds at home or on trips. The large majority, 41.3 million, stayed home to watch them.

“I think we both find watching the birds to be soothing and just relaxing,” Bob Olson said. “Here are creatures that God created that have no real care in the world. They provide pleasure and calmness if you will.”

With birdwatching by far the most popular form of recreational wildlife viewing, it’s little surprise to Olson that birdseed is his biggest seller.

But not just any birdseed.

“Seed has always been the big thing,” Olson said. “We try to provide very best and highest quality seed we can.

Our blends are such that the birds are going to eat most of it with a minimum amount of wastage. There’s always going to be some.”

Olson sells specialty blends but all of his mixes

Claudia and Bob Olson, married for 42 years following a blind date, have own Whidbey Wild Bird in Oak Harbor for two years.

hummingbird is resident year-round here,” Olson said, “and the Rufous hummingbird is migratory, is here from about the Ides of March and leaves late August. The Rufous can be very territorial and aggressive toward its feeder, the Anna’s not so much.”

There are feeders aplenty in the store, along with optics, books, wind chimes, kites, games, puzzles, decorative yard art, hangers, hooks and other accessories.

In the store, a CD plays with birds calling.

“I love hearing the birds,” Olson said. “Whether you see them or not, I just love hearing them.”

Olson, known for his gift of gab, can spew out all sorts of bird facts. He used to work in pest control after retiring from the Navy so knows a thing or two about insects, rodents, bats and squirrels, too.

Everyone likes free, but ultimately it’s not a good business model PUBLISHER’s column

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

For a number of years, the newspaper industry has struggled with how to navigate the online world and continue to succeed and thrive as a business.

Yes, a business.

Newspapers — the Whidbey News-Times included — share many of the same challenges and concerns as any other business in our community.

This week, I talked with one business owner who shared how she’s making significant changes in how she is adapting her business model to ride out what she calls a “depression.”

The fact is, we are all in this economy together, and it’s critical to adapt.

Years ago, as the Internet was taking off, and as more people began going online, most newspapers believed they needed to give away the news for free in order to compete with all that was available in cyberspace.

At the time, that was true.

Here at the News-Times, nearly everything that currently appears in print becomes available online in fairly short order.

Everyone likes getting things for free, myself included. However, it’s not a business model that can sustain itself.

As the newspaper industry evolves in the Internet age, paywalls are rising on newspaper websites across the country. For a long time, no newspaper wanted to be the first to raise a pay wall, and those that did were deemed brave.

For those unfamiliar, a paywall is an arrangement whereby access to a website is restricted to users who have paid to subscribe to the site.

Newspapers are increasingly raising paywalls.

They’re finding that readers clearly place value in the news and information that community newspapers provide.

All for less than the price of a cup coffee.

Yes, change is once again in the air for community newspapers. n Keven R. Graves is executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey News-Times. He can be reached by email at kgraves@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Letters to the editor Sewer proposal

Perhaps larger plant won’t smell as bad?

Editor, This is an open letter to the City of Oak Harbor.

During a recent walk along City Beach I saw your proposed property usage sign. For those who haven’t seen it I recommend a quick look.

It makes me question the rationale of those in charge of our wonderful city.

They are always trying to think of ways to bring in more tourist business. And now they plan to remove one of the few attractions we have — Windjammer RV Park and the swimming pool, one of the only places our children can swim.

As it is now we can all enjoy the hiking trail, the view, the swimming and picnicking and sometimes the camping.

Now our leaders wish to remove all that and put in a nice odorous water treatment plant.

Isn’t that wonderful?

Anyone who has worked downtown can tell you how wonderful it is on a hot summer day with the wind from the south when the existing plant goofs up.

I wonder if a bigger treatment plant will smell bigger.

Having been involved in the process since late 2010, a member of the June 2012 public working group Design Charrette and having most recently attended the city council meeting on Sept. 17 at which the Wastewater Treatment Plant SEPA public meeting was held, I have some thoughts to share with other city utility users.

number of potential hard issues need to be resolved.

Mainly, will the Navy partner with the city on building the new plant, and has Carollo done good work for the city?

First, regarding Carollo, it is a misconception to think Carollo selected the site for the plant; it was the city council and Mayor Scott Dudley who determined that placing the new plant in the “vicinity of Windjammer Park” was in the best interest of the city.

It was clear to me that Carollo presented the facts of both sites, Windjammer and Crescent Harbor North, in a fair and technically sound manner.

In my opinion the city received good value from Carollo for about four years of engineering support at a cost of $1.2 million.

If anything, the actions of the City Council and the mayor made this process hard on Carollo by not being decisive enough in a timely manner.

more Letters to the editor PLANT CONTINUED FROM A6 within the “vicinity of Windjammer Park” has not yet been selected by the city. It is very hard to design without knowing the exact location especially when the Windjammer Park area has so many engineering challenges associated with it.

Any engineering firm the city would have hired would have been challenged by the process Carollo was required to follow.

Regarding the Navy thinking the Windjammer site was a poor selection: They have a point. The buildings need to look nice since the plant will be in the heart of the city’s showpiece park, thus higher cost than a more rural or secluded area.

The soil conditions throughout the park will require additional engineering to make the plant structurally sound and somewhat resistant to earthquakes. Since much of the land in this area is within a flood plain, special structural engineering must be done to mitigate flood risk.

It is a well-known fact that Northwest Indian settlements were along the water; within a mile of the park are 11 known archaeological sites. As the citizens of the city well know, finding Indian artifacts can and most likely will cause delays to construction thus increasing cost.

I believe the Navy is right to question the wisdom of placing the plant “in the vicinity of Windjammer Park.” The Crescent Harbor North site does not present this same level of potential risk or requirement for mitigation measures; however, additional pumping and sewer lines would be required, and operating costs are projected to be higher.

So what should the city council and mayor do? To obtain access to low interest funding for the plant, the SEPA needs to be submitted soon if construction is to start as planned.

The SEPA is only good for a location in the “vicinity of Windjammer Park,” so if the Navy came back to the city and stated they would partner if the plant was located at the Crescent Harbor North site to avoid the above noted risks and mitigation measures, it is not clear if the city could regroup fast enough to accommodate the Navy without delaying the project.

So the city council and the mayor really have two choices: Either delay the project and work to partner with the Navy, or move forward as a “city only” project with the new plant “in the vicinity of Windjammer Park.”

If we are moving forward with “in the vicinity of Windjammer Park.”

I encourage the city council and the mayor to decide the exact location of the plant quickly and ensure that risk, mitigation measures and cost are reduced as much as possible.

I for one am very glad the city is getting this done, but as a utility user I want the lowest rate for the best possible service.

Jeff Trumbore Oak Harbor

Mayor’s comments were innacurate Editor, Mayor Dudley’s comments reported in the recent Whidbey News-Times article, “Mayor: Costs may derail sewer partnership,” were premature, inaccurate and never should have been made, as the city and the Navy have entered into a joint design review and cost sharing negotiations for the new wastewater treatment plant.

Both the city and the Navy recognize that thier existing facilities operate using archaic technologies, have inadequate capacity for future expansion, and are unable to meet future state and federal environmental regulations.

In 2009, the city started the site facility selection and planning process, which ultimately resulted in the selection of a site at the Windjammer Park vicinity using Membrane Bioreactor technology.

The public, design team and the city initially selected 11 sites.

After reviewing costs, social needs, future capacity requirements, environmental risks and government regulatory requirements, the site selection was reduced from 11 to five, and then to two.

In August 2012, those two sites and treatment technologies were presented to the council for consideration. These sites are: Cresent Harbor using MBR or activated sludge technologies or Windjammer Park vicinity using MBR, as this technology is the only option that will not require reducing the size of the park.

The council vote was a 3-3 tie.

The Oak Harbor Ccode requires the mayor to vote to break a tie.

Mayor Scott Dudley voted to place the plant in Windjammer Park.

Now, according to his statement in the newspaper, he wants more options and is suggesting that the MBR is the “Rolls Royce” plan that will increase utility rates.

The vote was a mayor-council decision, and it is incumbent upon us to support the decision and work together for the success of this project.

The Navy recently completed a 50 percent draft report and the comments from this report are very preliminary. The city and Navy are working toward a decision for a possible joint partnership by Oct. 31, 2013.

The city and Navy will make their decisions based on each of their independent findings.

The city is considering several finance scenarios and the best information available indicates that there is only a small utility rate difference if the Navy does not participate.

The greatest potential for rate increase could come from experiencing higher finance interest rates and construction costs due to unnecessary delays.

In addition, the city’s failure to meet the state’s schedules for capac-

ity and treatment performance could result in fines and/or a moratorium on sewer hook-up.

This would be unfortunate for Oak Harbor’s economy just as we are anticipating the arrival of new squadrons, whose personnel will need housing.

Tour de Whidbey

Event raised $40,000 for Whidbey General Editor, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation, I am writing to express our heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the 2013 Tour de Whidbey a success. We were blessed with a beautiful day despite the dismal weather forecast.

With the support of our volunteers, sponsors, contributors and riders, the event raised $40,000 for the hospital.

We want to acknowledge the dedicated members of the Island County Amateur Radio Club and Island Wings motorcycle group for doing such a fantastic job of monitoring the routes.

We are so grateful for their care and concern for the safety of our riders. There are two other groups of behind-the-scenes folks that make the ride possible.The Whidbey Island Bicycle Club volunteers who were out the week before the ride marking the pavement with route arrows. And, the four teams of volunteers from the Westside Rotary, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and Whidbey General Hospital, who spent Friday evening putting up route signs and Saturday evening taking them back down.

Thank you all so much for your help.

Our riders enthusiastically thank the folks who provide the meals before and after their ride, and the wonderful break station hospitality.

Windermere Real Estate agents arrived at 5:30 a.m. Saturday to put on the pancake and sausage breakfast for the riders, and the ladies of the Polly Harpole Guild stepped up for the afternoon chili feeds.

The break station heroes this year were from Whidbey Vision Care, Whidbey Community Physicians, Whidbey Island Bank, Coldwell Banker Tara Properties, Sweetwater Creek Farm Studio, as well as hospital employee volunteers from the Diagnostic Imaging and Medical Ambulatory Care/ Oncology departments and the Employee Council.

The Tour de Whidbey is a community effort to support Whidbey General Hospital. We are humbled by the generosity of our community.

Thank you.

Laura Blankenship, executive director

Whidbey General Hospital Foundation

Whidbey General

Learn the facts, vote ‘no’ on hospital bond Editor, There are some important facts that we as taxpayers need to know when casting ballots in November in reference to the hospital bond.

The up front cost of the bond is $50 million, but with a 5.25 percent interest rate, amortized over 25 years, interest and principal are more than $90 million, and property owners are responsible for this. Terry Litke, WGH-CFO, furnished the interest rate. Bond calculations were done by Wells Fargo Bank.

The hospital is running at a loss. The July 2013 minutes of the Whidbey General Hospital Board of Commissioners reveal an operating loss of almost $1.49 million in the first five months of 2013.

According to figures supplied

by Washington State Hospital Association, Whidbey General had occupancy rates of 72 percent in 2007, 63 percent in 2008, 56 percent in 2009, 66 percent in 2010 and did not furnish rates in 2011 and 2012.

So, with these rates, you can take a double room and convert it into a single room. So, why do you need private rooms?

The current Affordable Health Care Act will reform Medicare payments to hospitals, with uncertainty as to what reimbursements will be in the future.

The bond will be used to construct private rooms, which Medicare does not reimburse.

Since a large portion of Whidbey Island is seniors with Medicare, who will pay the cost for private rooms?

North and South Island patients will continue to go off island.

Twenty-two percent of patients at Island Hospital in Anacortes come from Whidbey Island. South Island patients go frequently to the mainland.

The current inpatient wing will be vacated and depending on cash flow might not have the opportunity to be retrofitted for use.

Also, where will the dollars come from to pay for this proposed project?

So where will the continuous flow of money come from to pay for the bond, which after all interest and principal payments costs more than $90 million, when the hospital in the first five months of 2013 is operating at a loss of almost $1.49 million?

If the hospital continues to operate without a positive cash flow, by the end of the year they will have a loss of more than $3 million.

Do we as taxpayers want to add to our personal liabilities? The first year alone the bond will cost

us $2.5 million in interest only.

Will the improvements planned add to an increased cash flow and reduce the negative operational costs?

The answer is no.

The quality care now offered

by Whidbey General professional staff of doctors, nurses, and support staff will remain the same, irrespective of any bond initiative.

We should be proud of our community hospital. Care will remain the same irrespective of any bond initiative.

As a taxpayer, think twice before you place a yes vote in these economic times, as you might just be digging yourself deeper in debt, and getting nothing for it other than a private room, when you cannot even afford it.

Richard Wagner, M.D. Global ENT Outreach Coupeville

What happens if you need emergency care?

Editor, OK, that’s it! I am through reading the comments of uninformed people who are solely intent on saving $81 dollars a year at the risk of putting the health care of Whidbey Island residents on the line.

Like it or not, Thomas Kosloske, almost all of us, at one time or another during our lives, will require assistance from a medical professional. When a sudden medical catastrophe occurs, we expect that prompt and efficient care be available.

And yes, someone has to pay for it.

The cost for most Islanders will be well less than the cost of one latte a week per year. Certainly this sacrifice can be worked into one’s budget.

To the individual who questioned whether the hospital had looked into other options: Really? Are you serious? Of course they have.

You ask about remodeling: There are many issues to consider with this 44-year-old building. The cost of remodeling was found to be equal to the cost of a new addition. Where would the patients be cared for during a remodel anyway, in the parking lot?

You ask about a buy-out by a for-profit organization: Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it.

These for-profit groups are all about making money. One RN friend of mine told of a staff meeting where they were ordered at her hospital to stop changing the sheets on the patient beds on a daily basis. This is done for infection control, it’s not a luxury.

They were advised to, “smooth out the wrinkles and change the bed only if the family complains.”

Mr. Kosloske will gladly pay for schools because, “kids are our future.”

Geraldine Ann ‘Gerry’ Mathis

Geraldine Ann “Gerry” Mathis, 72, longtime Coupeville resident and educator, passed away following a brief illness Tuesday, Sept.

17, 2013 at Swedish Medical Center in Edmonds.

Mrs. Mathis was born in Lincoln, Neb., on Aug.28, 1941, to Donald and Irene (Critchfield) Rock.

She

grew up in Arlington, Va., where she graduated from Washington-Lee High School in 1959. Gerry then attended Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., where she received her BA Degree in elementary education. In later years she went on to receive her masters degree from Western Washington University.

After having attended a segregated high school, Gerry was passionate about social justice issues. She participated in sit-ins at a Woolworths lunch counter to protest the company’s refusal to serve black customers, and worked at a settlement house in inner-city Chicago.

Gerry taught for several years in the Minneapolis school district. One day, she read a magazine article about the American cities with the most eligible bachelors, and one of them was Seattle.

She soon had a phone interview with the Seattle School District, which resulted in a teaching position and a bold move away from her friends and family to strike out on her own.

The venture culminated in a marriage proposal after two weeks of courtship, and her wedding to Ross Bennett Mathis at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle on May 18, 1968.

The couple lived in Ballard and Mukilteo before settling in Coupeville in 1975.

Gerry taught for several Seattle schools until 1978, with the majority of those years at University Heights Elementary School.

Gerry taught second, third and fourth grades at Coupeville Elementar y School from 1978 until her retirement in 2001. A fellow teacher once remarked about Gerry’s unwavering passion to help the least advantaged kids. She touched many lives, spanning two generations of Coupeville students.

Gerry was a cheerful, outgoing person who could quickly turn strangers into friends.

An avid reader, she could often be found checking out books at the Coupeville Library. Gerry was a past President of the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island and organized candidate debates for local elections. She was also a longstanding member and former Elder at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church.

Gerry is survived by her husband Ross; her daughters Sheila Hurtt (Chris) of Portland, Ore. and Susan Schalla (James) of Edmonds, Wash.; her four grandchildren, Aidan and Enya Hurtt and Maren and Robyn Schalla; her brother Don Rock (Robyn) of Bunbury, Western Australia; also, by nieces and nephews Stephanie, Danielle and Matt Rock and Eric Hauser. She was preceded in death by her sister, Kathleen Hauser in 1976 and by her brother Lawrence Rock in 1989.

A memorial service

&

for all friends, family, and Gerry’s former students will be held at Whidbey Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 26, after a private interment at Sunnyside Cemetery. Family and friends are also encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbeymemorial.com

What many people may not realize is that new laws and regulations are requiring certain actions be taken in hospitals across the United States.

Without updating, Whidbey General may soon be unable to comply with these rules.

The end of emergency and hospital care on Whidbey Island would follow.

Homecoming

Oak Harbor alum Johnson returns with MI swim team

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Chauntelle Johnson is coming home -- and bringing 40 of her closest friends.

Johnson, a 2001 Oak Harbor High School graduate and current Mercer Island High School swim coach, returns to town Saturday, Sept. 28, with her team in tow.

The Islanders will square off with the Wildcats at 2 p.m. at John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, the place Johnson began her swimming career.

Johnson said her athletes “are really excited to see where I grew up and all the places I tell them about in my stories about my high school swimming experience.”

Johnson’s swimmers are building their own memories. Mercer Island won the past four state 3A championships, and in the same span, the MI boys team, also coached by Johnson, earned two titles and two second-place finishes.

Johnson was the assistant coach at MI for three years before taking over the program five years ago.

This year’s girls team has an excellent chance of continuing the success, Johnson said. “We are a young team. We have over 60 girls participating and nearly half of them are new to the team. We are still just as strong as we have been in years past although the names may look different.”

Oak Harbor coach Alex Thierry said, “Facing Mercer Island should be fun. It is great for our girls to go against a big team early in the season. We do not take a bunch of girls to state, so seeing that quality of swimming at a dual meet should be an amazing learning experience for all of our girls.”

Johnson said the success of her program comes from the standards set by previous coaches and the Mercer Island community. Over 400 kids participate in summer league swimming at MI. “The more kids, the better the chance to find a diamond in the rough,” she said.

Johnson added, “I really try to push kids harder than they ever have been pushed and then show them exactly how tough they are.

It’s really hard sometimes on them and on me, but in the end, they are so much better for it. I am really passionate about the team and I try to get all of our kids to feel the same way about the program as well.”

And, it’s not all about winning at Mercer Island. In a recent Swim Across America event, the team raised nearly $25,000, the most by any area participating school, for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

“I am proud of our accomplishments in the pool,” Johnson said, “but most proud of what this team means to our community and the huge impact they have when they

prep roundup Wolves struggle with QB injured Heading to the season, Coupeville head football coach Tony Maggio listed among the keys to a successful season staying healthy and improving the passing game.

So when Maggio’s team was missing starting quarterback Gunnar Langvold because of an injury Friday, Sept. 20, the Wolves were hurt on both fronts.

Behind a sputtering passing game and turnovers, the Wolves lost 13-6 to Lynden Christian at Mickey Clark Field.

Coupeville (1-2), with almost its entire starting backfield missing because of injuries, fell to Port

Townsend a week early. In the Lynden Christian game, the Wolves welcomed back running backs Jake Tumblin and Brett Arnold, but QB Langvold was unable to play and it was evident in the passing game.

To make matters worse, starting center Carson Risner and his backup Joey Edwards also missed the game with injuries.

Tyree Booker started and finished the LC game at quarterback, and Josh Bayne played the majority in the middle. The pair combined to hit only three of 17 passes for 25 yards and two interceptions. Not all of those throws were off target, Maggio said, as the Wolves dropped five catchable balls.

Passing and injuries weren’t the only problem.

Johnson began swimming when she was about 9 years old, and her coaching career started while still in high school when she was hired to help out with the North Whidbey Aquatic Club.

Her first job was at Vanderzicht Pool teaching swim lessons and lifeguarding.

She helped the Wildcats place fourth in state, a school best, in 2000 and went on to swim for Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State University) with high school teammate Kyla Meuer. There she came back from a shoulder injury to win the conference 50- and 100-freestyle

“We turned the ball over four times inside of our own 15-yard line,” Maggio said.

Only once, however, was Lynden Christian able to turn one of those mistakes into points.

“Our defense was outstanding,” Maggio said.

Lathom Kelley and Tumblin each recored 11 tackles, Wiley Hesselgrave added seven and Bayne six.

Maggio also praised the play of defensive back Wade Schaef who held LC’s leading receiver to only two catches.

The Coupeville running game was also strong, paced

by Tumblin’s 125 yards on only 12 carries in “limited action,” Maggio said.

Tumblin’s load has been lightened because of a nagging hamstring injury. “He’s about 80 percent,” Maggio said. “He broke a couple of runs that I think he scores if he is healthy.”

She helped her college team take three league titles, was a four-time All-Missouri Valley Conference firstteam selection and was a four-time academic all-league member.

She was named to the conference’s All-Centennial Team when the MVC celebrated its 100th anniversary.

When not coaching at Mercer Island High School, she is the aquatics director at the Mercer Island Country Club. She is finishing up her masters in Sport Administration at Seattle University and raising 2-year-old daughter Savannah along with husband Michael.

70 to 80 percent,” Maggio said, added 45 yards on 11 carries.

Lynden Christian (2-1) scored first in the second quarter after one of Coupeville’s turnovers.

Bayne scored from one yard out in the third quarter, but the Wolves missed the PAT and trailed 7-6.

Lynden Christian countered when Jordan Jansen ripped off a 53-yard run on an option for the game’s final points. Coupeville didn’t threaten after that.

“We had our opportunities earlier,” Maggio said, as the Wolves often drove inside the Lyncs’ 30 but couldn’t convert.

“We just couldn’t get into a flow offensively,” he said.

Maggio isn’t sure if Langvold will be ready for this week’s game at Nocksack Valley (1-2) at 7 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 27.

“We need to pull one out,” Maggio said, to help

She is still a Wildcat at heart: “I really do love the Oak Harbor swimming community. I try not to scare all the young swimmers at the state meet each year, but sometimes its hard for me not to be excited when the OHHS kids are performing so well.”

Saturday’s meet wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District and the pool staff, Johnson said. The groups “did some juggling” to make it happen: “Schedule changing is no small feat for a facility like that.”

It’s easier when it is for one of their own.

Memorable drive highlights tough loss at Lake Stevens

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

A missed extra-point kick

by Oak Harbor with 3:33 left in the game will be the topic of discussion of Monday morning quarterbacks after the Wildcats’ 14-13 loss at Lake Stevens Friday, Sept. 20.

It shouldn’t be.

What should be discussed is the impressive drive that led up to that point. Down 14-7 with 1:23 remaining in the third quarter and starting at its own 6-yard line, Oak Harbor went on a 20-play march that ate up 94 yards and almost 10 minutes.

The Wildcats faced fourthdown plays on every new set of downs and converted all five on the way to the end zone.

The final play of the drive, fourth and goal from the nine, was the only pass as QB Clay Doughty linked up with Dyllan Harris on a short toss.

Harris slipped several tackles over the final five yards to make it 14-13.

The point after, unfortunately, was just wide right.

Oak Harbor had one more shot, holding Lake Stevens to three-and-out, and got the

No fourth down magic this time, and the Vikings held on.

The Vikings lost their first two games to powerhouses Marysville-Pilchuck and Glacier Peak, teams ranked in the top 10 in the state polls.

Oak Harbor won the statistical battle; Lake Stevens won the scoring war.

The Wildcats ran 70 plays, the Vikings only 39 -- the

number Oak Harbor ran in the second half alone.

Oak Harbor out-gained Lake Stevens 338-235 and controlled the ball 33 minutes to Lake’s 15.

The game’s first score came off a mistake. On Oak Harbor’s second possession, a tipped pass was intercepted.

Lake Stevens took over on the Oak Harbor 46.

There have been concerns in Lake Stevens this sea-

son about the completion rate of quarterback Jacob Eason. Regardless, there is no debate about the sophomore’s his arm strength, which matches his 6-4, 205 pound physique.

On the first play after the interception, he threw the ball on the fly to the end zone for a touchdown with 4:07 remaining in the first quarter. The receiver, Gavin O’Neil, was the Vikings’ starting quarterback last fall.

Oak Harbor has been burned on several long passes this season. Coach Jay Turner said his defensive backs are young, adding, “They fly around like crazy, but sometimes they make mistakes.” A bad read led to this breakdown, he said.

Both teams spent most of the first half punting, but Lake Stevens scored again

deep in the second quarter.

Eason, whose only completion in his first seven passes was the touchdown, reeled off seven straight, including five in this drive.

The Vikings went 90 yards in only 45 seconds, thanks to three timeouts and completions of 44, 15 and 26 yards.

Eason hit Gavin on a 2-yarder for the score with 38 seconds left in the half.

The Wildcats made some adjustments at halftime.

Turner said, “Our goal in the second half was to be more physical.”

The halftime discussion in the locker room on the lack of “physicality” was, most likely, very one sided. The results were immediate.

Receiving the ball to start the third quarter, Oak Harbor went on a 17-play, 53-yard drive that took over six min-

utes. Unfortunately, it ended on downs at the Viking 10.

Fortune, however, turned Oak Harbor’s way moments later. Lake Stevens’ running back Austin Otis fumbled and Wildcat Sheyenne Sams plucked the ball out of the air and scooted 35 yards for the score. Mark Johnston kicked the PAT. After a Lake Stevens punt, Oak Harbor began its impressive drive. In its first series of downs, Oak Harbor faced a fourth-and-two at its own 15. Turner, in a gutsy call, went for it. Fullback Jordan Faralan plowed into the line then somehow escaped the pile and raced 35 yards.

The Wildcats produced a good push up front throughout the drive even though both their starting right guard and right tackle left the game with injuries. Johnston and Ford Orns filled in and the ‘Cat ground game didn’t miss a beat.

Faralan finished with 132 yards on 27 carries. Sams added 128 on 20, including an incredible 43-yard gain in which he left a trail of wouldbe tacklers.

Doughty went 3-for-7 for 20 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Otis and Eason were the only Vikings to carry the ball, and Otis covered 80 yards in 18 totes. Eason completed 10 of 17 throws for 174 yards.

Oak Harbor begins conference play at Everett (0-3) at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27.

KNOWLEDGE

Love of learning takes retiree to pinnacle of Master Gardening

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

At this time of year, often only traces remain of a garden’s splendor.

Beautiful rose blooms become few and far between.

Butterfly bush blooms turn brown. Lilies lose their luster.

Still, it’s clear by walking through Marcia Nelson’s yard that her gardens exploded with color in recent months as evidence is still visible.

Nelson, however, will kid with you that her Oak Harbor property is among the most neglected around.

There are other gardens to tend to, after all.

And other gardeners to tend to as well.

“The joke is Master Gardeners’ gardens don’t look too swift because they’re busy doing Master Gardening,” Nelson said. “I’ll have to retire from Master Gardeners to get my own garden in shape.”

Nelson is not just an ordinary product of the Washington State University Extension Master Gardener program.

Her dedication to learning, teaching and leading

Conference Friday night, Sept. 27, at the Hansen Conference Center at Comcast Arena in Everett.

She is the second Master Gardener from the Island County chapter to win the award in the past four years, joining Coupeville’s Don Lee, who was honored in 2009.

“I thought it was kind of exciting because you are kind of in a remote area yet you pop out these Master Gardeners with regularity,” said Betty Ryan, chairperson for the Master Gardener of the Year selection committee.

“It’s kind of unique.”

The committee received 10 nominations this year out of the nearly 5,000 certified Master Gardener volunteers statewide.

Nelson stood out the most.

“She is a WSU Master Gardener of all seasons,” Ryan said. “She is not only involved in all of the projects gardening-wise, she has been so instrumental organizationally. To some extent, she saved the Master Gardeners program in your area when it was having problems.”

For Nelson, becoming a certified Master Gardener seemed only natural.

Marcia Nelson of Oak Harbor is the state’s Master Gardener of the year. She will be honored Friday night in Everett.

On Marcia and Bob Nelson’s acre and a half of property in Oak Harbor, shrubs outline what Marcia plans to turn into a secret garden. Roses are one of Marcia’s favorites with a backyard patio lined with bushes, including some climbing varieties. hours of service to teach and help others.

All life-long learning habits that Nelson has mastered.

“It’s a perfect fit,” she said.

“I love learning.”

Nelson and her husband of 45 years, Bob, moved to Whidbey Island from Olatha, Kansas, in 2002 following retirement to be closer to their daughter Rebecca, who lives in Edmonds.

After they purchased a home with one-and-half acres, Nelson decided not only to tend to her own property but branched out to help others.

Nelson became a Master Gardener through the Island County chapter in 2003 and has spent the past decade teaching, planning and coordinating events and projects.

She was the designer, creator and maintainer of two educational public gardens at Greenbank Farm. She initiat-

ed and is actively involved in a project to determine which plants might grow best on septic drain fields.

She has served as an advisor to the county for its landscape tree problems.

She was chairperson for the Whidbey Gardening Workshop in Oak Harbor in 2013.

“One of the things that kind of tipped our hand with Marcia is she’s not only an outstanding gardener, her organizational skills are so great,” Ryan said.

It’s all part of the methodology of Nelson’s background.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in science at Penn State University following in her parents’ footsteps.

“Both of my parents were microbiologists,” said Nelson, an only child. “I had to prove I could do it, too.

I wanted to be a science

writer.”

Nelson calls herself a “multi-career person,” starting out as a seventh grade math teacher in Georgia, stopping to raise her daughter then returning 10 years later as a substitute in New Jersey only to discover a little “culture shock.”

She then moved up the ranks in the banking industry in the area of commercial lending, went back to school to earn a master’s degree in business, delved into marketing and later got into sales for a freight forwarding business.

“I drove my husband crazy,” she said. “I’d be on the phone at 2 a.m. talking to someone from Hong Kong making sure they got the freight picked up.”

She finally “retired” after working for five years as a budget manager for Sprint.

But retirement is a relative

term.

Nelson doesn’t mind being immersed in gardening.

It’s a subject she can’t learn enough about.

She and her husband lived on five acres in the Delaware Township in New Jersey with a quarter acre reserved for a vegetable garden. They lived in New Jersey for 30 years.

Her husband worked for Johnson & Johnson.

When they got to Whidbey Island, Nelson got one more job at the Greenhouse Florist & Nursery in Oak Harbor.

“It was total immersion,” she said.

Ten years later, she stands tallest among the state’s Master Gardeners.

When she was told she won, she initially misunderstood.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she said.

TV SHOW CONTINUED FROM A1 “We’re trying to see what we can do to improve communication,” he said, “and eliminating four standing committee meetings doesn’t help.”

Dudley said that there’s just not enough time during the once-a-month workshops to cover everything that’s going on, particularly financial information.

The last workshop, he said, was “hijacked” for a forum on Councilman Rick Almberg’s idea for luring more Navy personnel to the city.

Yet council members said they are willing to extend the workshop as long as it takes to cover all the information they need to hear.

They questioned why they would miss any information when there’s so many opportunities for communication, whether it’s during

meetings or through email.

Dudley insists that council members will miss valuable details and that his new show will basically cover the same information that would have been discussed at committee meetings. The mayor said department heads will use PowerPoint presentations and images to illustrate their answers.

Dudley said he plans to tape four separate interviews a month. The production, tentatively called “Oak Harbor Issues With Mayor Scott Dudley,” will be broadcast on the city’s Channel 10 and will appear online at the city’s website.

It’s not a completely original idea. Jim Slowik, Dudley’s predecessor as mayor, had his own TV program called “Municipal Issues.” Each show focused on a different topic.

Several council members claim that Dudley is trying to turn their effort to be efficient and frugal into a political issue.

Councilwoman Tara Hizon said the mayor’s

The complaint also states that members of the Samish tribe “have sustained and continue to suffer severe stress, anguish, and spiritual and emotional distress.”

It states that the damages continue and the claim may increase.

The description of the claim is similar to language from the Swinomish lawsuit.

It states that city started

the Southeast Pioneer Way Improvement Project in March 2011.

The project converted the downtown road to a one-way thoroughfare and replaced sidewalks, sewer lines and storm water systems, and also placed utility lines underground.

insistence on replacing committee meetings with a TV show is illogical.

“One of the benefits of condensing the four standing committees was to free up valuable staff time … since most department heads attended all four meetings,” she wrote in an email.

“A single meeting also meant an added benefit of audio/video cost savings. To drag department heads in front of the camera for individual interviews eliminates that time and cost savings,” Hizon added.

Hizon pointed out that Dudley and the staff set the agenda for the workshops and the mayor participates.

“If there’s a question to be asked or something to be pointed out, he can do so at any time,” she said.

Councilman Joel Servatius said he supports the most efficient means to communicate information to the council and the public. He pointed out that the council has a minimum of three meetings per month — officials about the proximity of a known archeological site and advised the city to hire archaeologists to monitor the project, create “an inadvertent discovery plan” and consult with tribes prior to starting the project.

City officials, however, didn’t heed the advice.

The project was halted in June 2011 after workers uncovered human remains.

By then, the city had removed thousands of cubic yards of earth from the site, which turned out to be the

two council meetings and a workshop — plus several other meetings are also added on top.

“If we’re not getting the information we need in that amount of meetings, then I would have to ask, Why?’ he said. “The council is more than willing to extend its regular meetings to accomplish whatever it is we need to accomplish.”

Almberg said he did some number crunching and estimates that Dudley’s show will cost “at least $2,000 a pop,” which includes staff time and paying Riney Production Services.

Almberg said he believes it’s a duplication of resources.

Dudley, however, maintains the city is saving money by eliminating the standing committee meetings, so the cost of his new production is a wash.

He said his motivation is to be as open and transparent with the community as possible.

He recently also started his own blog, called the Mayor’s Corner, which is posted on the city’s website.

location of an ancient village and burial grounds, according to the Samish complaint.

The earth was dumped in a two city sites and was given out to residents as “free dirt.”

As a result, the city had to hire an archaeological firm to shift through the countless piles and recovered “numerous Indian burials, thousands of prehistoric and historic artifacts and fragments, and other archaeological resources,” the complaint states.

The work has cost the city about $4 million so far,

plus reburial could cost a lot more.

The complaint explains that the Samish were one of the tribes that “used and occupied” the lands and shoreline of present-day Oak Harbor.

Some Samish people once inhabited “a significant permanent village” that was located within the boundaries of the Pioneer Way construction project, but they were required to leave under the terms of a treaty, the complaint states.

or Denny Lougheed, retiring on Whidbey is all about the people.

“We really like the people,” Lougheed said.

“They’re not stuffy or quiet. People are always cracking jokes and kidding around.”

Lougheed said he and his wife moved to the island 33 years ago, and considered moving off island for their retirement. But, he said, they decided on Whidbey because it was home.

“It’s just a nice place to be.”

Of course, there’s also 200 miles of shoreline from which to catch fish.

A national retirement publication has listed Whidbey Island in its book entitled “America’s 100 Best Places to Retire.”

Published by “Where to Retire” magazine, the book is now in its fifth edition.

“We believe that retirement locale scouting is fun,” said Annette Fuller, managing editor of “Where to Retire” and co-editor of the book.

“This volume helps the process with its well-researched profiles of 100 cities that retirees love. “‘Where to Retire’ magazine has been dedicated solely to discovering these destinations since 1992, so the knowledge in the pages is deep and wide. It takes you on a coast-to-coast trip like no other book can do.”

Other Washington locales named in the book include Olympia, Port Townsend and Spokane.

The book includes locales that have been featured destinations in “Where to Retire” magazine. Each profile, written by an author who is familiar with the area, combines local knowledge, extensive research and in-depth interviews with retirees who have already made the move.

“For a long time we were one of the best kept secrets, but word has gotten out,” said Chet Ross, president of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce. “Climate-wise, access to Seattle … it’s an end unto itself. Like the tourism saying goes, ‘It’s the shortest distance to far away.’”

and health care.

“It’s just such a beautiful location,” said Hazel Welliver, executive director of Harbor Tower Village retirement community in Oak Harbor. “There are a lot of retirees here because of the base, so there is a good-sized senior community here.”

Welliver added that while there is plenty to do here on the island for retirees, locals are also a short drive or ferry ride away from other cities and destinations.

“There’s just so much in this area, in the Northwest,” Welliver said.

The 100 cities are all distinct, said Fuller, yet they have many qualities in common that active Baby Boomers and retirees enjoy, such as vibrant downtowns, ongoing education classes, volunteer or part-time work opportunities, walkable neighborhoods, excellent health care, mild weather and advantageous tax situations.

“For those of us who live here, it’s no secret that it’s so great,” said Kathy Reed, Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce executive director.

“It’s really a no-brainer. We still have that small-town America feel, but we have all the technology and shopping and recreational activities bigger cities have.”

The book is organized alphabetically by city name, but you can also find locales listed by state, displayed on a U.S. map and categorized into 10 Top 10 lists — best art towns, best beach towns, best college towns, best fourseason towns, best lake towns, best low-cost Edens, best main street towns, best mountain towns, best small towns and best undiscovered havens.

A “Veteran” – whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve – is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to, and including his life.”

That is honor. And there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact.

we want you!

Effective Immediately…Summer Hill Assisted Living is offering a discount of 10% off on the rental of a one bedroom apartment! This exciting offer allows veterans to enjoy a spacious one bedroom apartment at the studio rate.
