Haunted Oak Harbor Some claim real ghosts inhabit city’s Roller Barn
BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Another former city employee has filed a claim for damages against Oak Harbor over allegations the mayor acted outside of employment law. Renee Recker, the mayor’s former executive assistant, filed a claim Thursday for wrongful termination. She is asking for $701,250 in damages. “It is her intention to sue Mayor Dudley personally, as well as the city, if the claim is not resolved to her satisfaction,” said her attorney, Christon Skinner, in a letter to the city. Skinner, whose practice is in Oak Harbor, also repre-

t’s reasonable to expect the sounds of a few creaks and groans when you work inside a 100-year-old wooden structure. Norrie Perreault has worked at the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor inside historic Neil barn for 12 years and has heard strange noises that can be rationally explained. But Perreault also has seen and heard things inside the barn that she simply cannot, and because of that, will not enter the building alone and no longer goes upstairs without company. “I’m not afraid of the haunted house,” she said, referring to the barn’s autumn basement attraction, Frightville 13. “But to come in here by myself? That real stuff. I won’t do it.” Perreault, 49, was talking about the second floor of the Neil barn, known since the 1950s as the Roller Barn. The spacious second floor houses the roller rink and is an after-school play and learning center for kids. That floor also has been the site of strange occurrences that Perreault can’t explain. The latest incident last

Heavy fog blamed for accidents, ferry delays
By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
The blanket of fog that persisted over Whidbey Island this week was a factor in car accidents, reduced operations at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, delayed ferries and it affected sporting events. When it’s foggy, Washington State Trooper Mark Francis encourages motorists to reduce speed and increase following distance while driving during foggy conditions. He said heavy fog was a factor in a Whatcom County accident Oct. 22 that killed two people on State Highway 548. In that incident, a motorist attempted to pass a slow moving

Residents can weigh in on the public participation plan for the county’s fish and wildlife conservation efforts at the Island County commissioners’ regular Monday board meeting. Public comment will begin no earlier than 6:15 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28. Senior Planner Brad Johnson said the update to
the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas was originally supposed to be completed in 2005 as part of the statemandated Comprehensive Plan update. When the county failed to complete this step, the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, an environmental group commonly known as WEAN, filed a petition in 2012 with the Growth Management Hearings

Board, which in turn ordered the county to finish the update, Johnson said. Island County planning staff started the update process in September by establishing the scope of the update and creating a technical advisory group. By Nov. 18, the county is supposed to review the best available science; by Dec. 16 the county is supposed to assess the habitat conditions; by Jan. 15, planners will deliver a science report and recommendations; and by April 7, they are scheduled to establish a critical-areas ordinance policy and associated regulations. The project will be brought back to the county commissioners and the public at each

Once a draft ordinance update is created, the county will establish a 60-day public comment period to allow property owners and invested parties to review the proposed changes. They hope to complete the update by July 24. “The critical areas ordinance aims to balance environmental protection with property rights,” Johnson said. “This will be of particular interest to some property owners.” County staff will be updating the Planning and Community Development website with all relevant documents and the public can be notified if they are on the county’s email list.

An 18-year-old man whose alleged threatening emails to an employee at North Whidbey Middle School caused a lockdown earlier this month was charged with a felony, according to court documents. Prosecutors charged Charles S. Ferguson in Island County Superior Court Oct. 14 with one count of harassment — threats to kill. If convicted, he could face from three to eight months in jail under the standard sentencing range. Ferguson was being held in jail in lieu of $20,000 bail. In a report on the incident, Officer Robert Dickinson with the Oak Harbor Police Department wrote that the Oak Harbor School District notified police Oct. 9 that the middle school was being locked down because of threats against a staff member. Ferguson sent a series of text messages to a family member who works at North Whidbey Middle. The messages stated that he “was going to harm her and that ...
he had a gun,” the officer said in his report. The alleged victim said she and Ferguson recently moved to Oak Harbor and he was upset there were other people living in their home, the report said. Nine of the text messages are included in the police report. In one text, Ferguson allegedly said that he obtained a gun from a friend. In another text, the report said, Ferguson wrote that he was thinking about going on a “killing spree.” Ferguson doesn’t mention the school in any of his text messages, but focused his anger at the alleged victim and the people living in the house. He wrote that he would “have no regrets killing everyone in this house,” the police report states. The alleged victim said she suspected that Ferguson could carry out his threat and “believes he is unstable,” Dickinson wrote. The report states that the lockdown caused a serious disruption in the release schedule for the school.

Memorial seeking donations Hearings on P-8A SEIS
rescheduled for Nov. 13
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
In 1945, Laurin “Bud” Zylstra brought home dozens of American, German and Japanese artifacts upon returning from his service during World War II. Zylstra, of Oak Harbor, is one of many Whidbey Island residents who donated items that now comprise the PBY Memorial on Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor. The growing memorial is hoping to continue expanding with the help of additional donations from the Whidbey Island and surrounding communities. William Stein, foundation vice chairman, said that any war or military-related items, including books, letters, pictures, clothing, aircraft parts or other memorabilia is welcome at the PBY Memorial. “There’s a place where this stuff should go,” Stein said. Stein’s said his fear is that people may have priceless memorabilia in their basements, or are considering giving items to charity, without thought to the historical significance of the items. “We’d like to have it have a home, and for people to come see it,” Stein said. With rooms dedicated to each major American war since the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the memorial offers both a broad and a personal look at how the war affected Oak Harbor. The memorial’s name-

Overlooking Crescent and Oak harbors next to the memorial building, visitors are allowed to climb through the plane and envision what it was like for the Navy in the 1940s. “Here you get to experience the history of the Navy and the influence of Oak Harbor on the Seaplane Base,” said memorial doussant Frank Gallow. “And people hopefully can cultivate an appreciation of the military and what they had to experience.” Just a year after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the first PBY-5A landed at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station on Crescent Harbor. One of the Navy’s most versatile aircraft, the PBY-5A served as patrol plane, tor-
pedo plane, dive bomber and search and rescue aircraft. Established by the PBY Memorial Foundation in September of 1998, the memorial is dedicated to the preservation of military history and the people who served the country. In addition to preserving seaplanes, the foundation would like to continue to capture the legacy of any aircraft that was based at NAS Whidbey. Prior to the building of the naval base, Oak Harbor was a farming community of 650. The memorial is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. It is located just inside Seaplane Base at 315 W. Pioneer Way, Oak Harbor. A driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance is required to enter. For more information, log on to www.pbyma.org
The Navy has rescheduled public meetings for the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, or SEIS, for the home basing of the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The draft SEIS addresses the potential environmental effects of home basing P-8A squadrons at Jacksonville Naval Air Station in Florida and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The Navy will host two open house public meetings. They are 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, at North Whidbey Middle School, 67 N.E. Izett St., Oak Harbor. The meetings will be conducted in an open house format with informational displays and materials available for public review. There will be no formal presentations. Navy staff will be present to answer general questions on the proposed action and the EIS. These meetings were originally scheduled in October, but had to be rescheduled because of the recent government shutdown.
To ensure consideration in the final SEIS, comments must be postmarked or received online by Dec. 2 to ensure they become part of the official record. For those who cannot attend an open house, all informational materials are available on the project website www. mmaseis.com. Comments may also be submitted by mail to: P-8A EIS Project Manager, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, Attn: Code EV21/CZ, 6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23508. All comments will be treated equally and will be used in the preparation of the final SEIS.

Regatta Drive, Oak Harbor; Anacortes Public Library, 1220 10th St., Anacortes; La Conner Regional Library, 614 Morris St., La Conner; Coupeville Library, 788 N.W. Alexander St., Coupeville.
Staff, students mourn student’s death Students and staff in the Oak Harbor School District are mourning the loss of a high school student who died Wednesday night. The student attended Oak Harbor High School. The student’s name is not being released by the school district nor are the
circumstances surrounding the student’s death. Kellie Tormey, communications coordinator for Oak Harbor schools, said the death is being investigated by the Island County Sheriff’s Department. Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County
Sheriff’s Office said the death is not considered to be suspicious. An investigation is ongoing. Tormey said a crisis team was mobilized with additional staff providing grief counseling at the high school.

Whidbey Island Bank merges with Heritage

Local branches retaining name; headquarters moving off island By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Whidbey Island Bank will no longer be headquartered in Oak Harbor following a merger with Olympiabased Heritage Financial Corporation. Washington Banking Company, the holding company for Whidbey Island Bank, and Heritage Financial jointly announced Wednesday the signing of an agreement for the “strategic merger.” Coupeville resident Al Sherman said he was surprised by the news, but cheered the impressive growth of the bank over the past decade. His father, Clark Sherman, was among the original board members that started the bank in Coupeville in the early 1960s. Al Sherman’s uncle also was on board, and he followed in his dad’s and uncle’s footsteps by joining later. “It’s been a long time since we started that little old bank in Coupeville,” he said. “It’s always been a real asset to the community.” The headquarters of the bank was later moved to Oak Harbor and technically still
remains in the city, though much administrative work occurs in Burlington. Jack Wagner, president and chief executive officer of Washington Banking Company, said he negotiated during merger talks to ensure that the six branches in the Whidbey market will remain named “Whidbey Island Bank.” All the other branches will bear the name “Heritage Bank.” “I felt it was something we could do to honor the legacy of Whidbey Island Bank,” he said. “Plus, these people have always been very good to us.” Wagner said he doesn’t expect employees at the branches to lose any jobs, but he said some “backroom folks” may lose positions because of redundancies between the two banks. He said the merger won’t be finalized until April 1, 2014, so any changes won’t occur right away. Wagner said the merger is a great deal for investors and both banks. He said Heritage has branches from King County south to Portland while Whidbey Island Bank has branches from King County to the Canadian

border. The combined company will have a total of 73 branches. “It will be a terrific franchise strung out on the I-5 corridor,” he said. Wagner said the two banks are very similar. He said Whidbey Island Bank makes a little more money but Heritage Bank is slightly larger in terms of assets. Wagner said each is worth about $1.6 billion. “The combination will result in one of the largest bank mergers between two in-state Washington banks with transactions valued at approximately $265.1 million,” a press release from the bank stated. The leadership team of the merged company will comprise executives from both organizations. Brian Vance, current chief executive officer of Heritage, will continue as CEO of the merged bank. The board of directors will comprise eight directors from Heritage and seven directors from Washington Banking Wagner said he plans to retire, but has agreed to help with the transition as a special adviser.

our viewpoint Our picks for Oak Harbor City Council Residents of the City of Oak Harbor are fortunate to have a strong slate of candidates for City Council. Right now, the city needs a council that works hard, engages in healthy public discussions, is open to hearing all sides of the issues and unites for the good of the community. With that in mind, the Whidbey News-Times is endorsing the following: Joel Servatius vs. Sandi Peterson Joel Servatius has served on council for two years after being appointed to a vacant seat. During that time he stepped up to improve efficiencies within the city, including pushing a move to go paperless. He is involved in the community and does the work. Sandi Peterson has been a silent drum behind the scenes, helping candidates get into office. She participates on city committees and has familiarized herself with the issues. Both are excellent candidates, but Servatius deserves more time to show what he can do to keep the city moving forward. We’re looking forward to seeing what else Servatius can bring to the table. Peterson should certainly stay involved, and will be a welcome candidate for council in the future, but we give Servatius the nod in this round. Jim Campbell vs. Skip Pohtilla While both candidates are active in the community and involved with city projects, Campbell is not one to go with the majority. Every group of decision makers needs a rational, dissenting voice, someone who will step up and be devil’s advocate. Campbell is that voice. One thing that stood out during candidate interviews with Campbell were his comments about council members’ pay and benefits. Council positions are part time, and nowhere else in the city do part-time positions qualify for health benefits. Why should council? Good question. That voice is needed on council to spark debate with the hope open discusssion prompts better decisions. Pohtilla is also an active participant and should also keep his eye on the council for the future. He’s been involved in various commissions for the city, including the Arts Commission. He’s also active in Navy League. We like Pohtilla’s professionalism and approach, but urge a vote to keep Campbell on the council. Bob Severns vs. Lucas Yonkman Bob Severns’ has a broad range of experience and a professional background working in title insurance that is beneficial to the city, especially as the city moves forward on projects such as the wastewater treatment facility. We like Lucas Yonkman for his passion on issues such as the Second Amendment and hope he will remain involved See council, A7

Letters to the editor Bullying
Not willing to be scared into silence any longer Editor, I’m ashamed. Last week, I attended the Leauge of Women Voters forum. The event included school board candidates. When the subject of bullying in our schools came up, candidate Bill Burnett said it is a “silly issue” that is basically made up by educators and parents. I wanted to shout him down, I wanted to write a letter to the editor — but knowing his history, I did not want to become the subject of his hate website, and find out what kind of lies he would lob at me. So, I didn’t. I was afraid of being bullied myself. This week, I am distressed to learn that a child in our high school died suddenly this week. Rumors are swirling about why it happened, and most of them allude to the possibility the child was cyber bullied and bullied in school by classmates. Do schools have the sole responsibility for changing bullying behavior?
No. We all do. We have responsibility online when we see comments that are degrading toward others, we have the responsibility to shout down people who make up lies about others for political gain. We have responsibility to teach our own children the consequences of language they use when talking about classmates. We have a responsibility to come to the aid of all people that are marginalized in our society by bullies. I should have written the letter last week. I should have said bullying is not a silly issue, and Bill Burnett and the people who think like him and the people he represents on his hate website have it dead wrong. Bullying is not a silly issue. It’s ruining our society, our community, and breaking up families. Please join me in creating a zero-tolerance policy in our families and then in our community toward degrading language and bullies. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.”

City council
Yonkman has much to bring to the table
Editor, Over the past year, I’ve come to know Lucas Yonkman well. After seeing Lucas’ exchange with the Oak Harbor City Council, wherein an attempt was made to disarm him, a law abiding, legal, concealed weapon carrier and trained army infantry veteran, I had a feeling there was more to come from him. I saw how he maintained his composure and acted with professionalism, poise, class and restraint. I quickly realized that this man had an opportunity to positively impact his community. I made arrangements to meet with Lucas and learned I was one of many who reached out to him with encouragement to seek a seat at the table. As he considered a bid for Oak Harbor City Council, I watched as he progressed through the process of thoughtful consideration, contemplation, and discernment … not making a snap judgment or a decision based on emotion, a trait we need in our leaders.

More letters to the editor After seeking the council of mentors and elders, he saw the opportunity and chose to run. We are all lucky he did because as goes Oak Harbor, so goes the rest of Whidbey. As a disabled Army veteran, Lucas has demonstrated a heart of service and a willingness to put others above self. As a member of the Yonkman family and an active participant in the development and construction of high quality custom homes, Lucas learned and demonstrated a spirit of excellence. As a loyal and devoted husband, church member and Rotarian, Lucas has proven his commitment to the things that matter and loyalty to those he loves, including the City of Oak Harbor. During his campaign, Lucas has been criticized by his opponent for not having a college degree, a trait he shares with 54 percent of Oak Harbor citizens. This does not mean that he isn’t educated. While he may be looked down upon by his opponent for not having a college degree, he was trained to make decisions and judgments in high pressure, life or death situations. He was taught tactics and advanced thinking strategies. He was taught to read, write and speak Arabic and to use those skills to root out an enemy on his home turf while minimizing civilian impacts and casualties. As with so many of Oak Harbor’s citizens, his education comes from real life, not the university classroom. This makes him someone Oak Harbor voters can relate to, someone they can trust. Oak Harbor voters would do well to realize the time has come for change on the City Council. Lucas Yonkman will bring fresh perspective, new ideas, and a valuable insight. Vote for Lucas Yonkman.

Whidbey General
Hospital not willing to answer questions Editor, We have seen the “just vote yes” signs everywhere for the hospital bond. We have seen the reasons given by the hospital administration for increasing our property taxes, but we have not seen any direct, measurable facts given to support this request. They have not supplied any facts or figures to back up any of their claims. I filed a public disclosure request with Whidbey General Hospital administration on Oct 19. I received no reply. Among the questions I asked were: • How many patients became ill from contagious bacterial or viral infections due to room sharing at WGH in 2012 and 2011? • How many patients received physical injuries due to room sharing at WGH in 2012 and 2011? • How many patients died due to room sharing at WGH in 2012 and 2011? • How many times was WGH been sued for damages as a result of room sharing, either by patients or family members, in 2012 and 2011? • How many formal complaints about room sharing has WGH received from patients, and family members in 2012 and 2011. • At what rate/percentage were rooms at WGH occupied by two patients in 2012 and 2011? • How many employes and staff of WGH were made ill from the spread of contagious bacterial or viral infections due to room sharing at WGH in 2012 and 2011? • How many employes and staff of WGH received physical injures
Question of the week:
“Maybe. Katie Creus, Oak Harbor
caused by room sharing in in 2012 and 2011? • How many employees and staff of WGH sued WGH due to illness or injury caused by room sharing in 2012 and 2011? Currently there are no facts to support a “yes” vote. The WGH administration does not seem inclined to provide any facts. Kathleen Mack Oak Harbor
This is ‘our’ hospital — vote for improvements Editor, I’ve been employed at Whidbey General Hospital for more than 20 years. If I’m a friend of Whidbey General Hospital, it’s not about passing the bond to keep my job. It’s about living and working here, and making Whidbey Island my home. Is it too much to hope that where we live and work also be one of the places to get great health care? This is not a first aid station, it’s a hospital, even if it’s old—and a place that does so much more than pass out Band-Aids. We’re like the Skagit Valley bridge — functionally obsolete. We’re meeting minimum requirements, working with what we have to stay ahead of the curve while government-mandated equipment fills the small rooms. Sure, we can keep working with what we have, wait an indefinite time until we’re “financially stable,” or wait for our collapse. Would we do this to the schools? Schools need to be maintained and upgraded, and I vote “yes,” even when I don’t have children going to them. The same thing applies to the hospital. We’re laying the groundwork for generations to come. I want what
Anacortes has, I want what Everett has, but we won’t get it by ignoring what every community needs, the infrastructure of a great hospital. How can we attract good doctors and specialists when we let our hospital fall to ruin? Sure, we have visiting cardiologists, skilled orthopedic physicians, and wonderful cancer specialists. I don’t want to be sent off island for nearly everything else. I keep hearing how everyone wants private rooms, but is that the real reason? What I want is a hospital that can give me the services I need, which includes specialists and services that don’t require transport to another hospital. I want to stay close to home, and if my hospital room is large enough to have friends and family visit, so much the better. I hear you saying the same thing. Please believe that $60-$100 per household is worth the investment. There are plenty of rural hospitals that have had to close their doors as larger organizations gobbled up the smaller ones. Merging with another larger hospital isn’t off the table, but this shouldn’t be a fire sale. We have a unique challenge because we’re on an island. When everything falls apart around you, you won’t be trying to catch a ferry, or dashing over a bridge before it’s closed, you’ll be standing in line with your neighbors at Whidbey General Hospital for minor wounds or delicate surgery — a place that’s still standing and is in demand. Don’t let this hospital collapse due to apathy, of believing that someone else can take care of it while you seek medical care elsewhere. This is our hospital — yes, we still have one, and it’s right here. Deb Crager Oak Harbor

in the local government processes. That said, the Second Amendment is a Constitutional right, a federal matter. Right now, the council’s focus is on proper management of taxpayer money and making decisions that will best serve the citizens of Oak Harbor. With a bit more time under his belt learning the ways of the city, we see Yonkman as a viable candidate in the future. We choose Severns for this race. Danny Paggao vs. Mike Piccone For 20 years, Danny Paggao served on council and we have the greatest respect for his dedication. Where Paggao brings a certain continuity and calmness to council, we think challenger Mike Piccone promises to bring a fresh perspective and exuberance that would be healthy and beneficial for the City Council. Piccone is former military, enlisting after Sept. 11. He’s now a stayat-home dad who isn’t polished in his presentation, but has an earnest approach that is refereshing. We’d like to see Piccone bring his energy and common sense approach to the City Council.

Wasilewski
George C. Wasilewski
George Chester Wasilewski died peacefully on Oct. 18, 2013, at Silverado Senior Living in Bellingham at the age of 83, following a lengthy illness. He was born Jan. 8, 1930, in Shamokin, Penn., to John and Julia Wasilewski. At the age of 17, George left school and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. As a young sailor with extra time, he sought work in the community and met Harry Balda. He lived with Harry and Agnes and worked on the turkey farm and became very close with their children, Wes and Shelly. The Navy transferred George to Kodiak, Alaska, and then to Alameda, Calif. In February of 1953, George was set up for a blind date and two months later he married his date, Doris Coleman, in Anacortes. George was sent to Pensacola, Hawaii, Moffett Field, Tennessee, Texas and finally to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1966, where George and Doris settled.

He later moved into marine diesel engine maintenance and repair. In 1973, George became affiliated with Skyline Marina and Development, serving as shop manager at the Marina. He eventually moved to the Board of Skyline and served as Board President and a share owner, retiring in 1991. Following retirement, George continued working
in property management and brokerage at Skyline until selling his interests in 2003. In 2011, George and Doris moved to Ferndale to be closer to family. George was a life member and past president of the Pacific Coast Congress of Harbor Masters, which was a very important part of his life.

Chief: Losing limb not end of the world By JANIS REID Staff reporter
An admirer of the region’s beautiful waterfalls, William “Billy” Wolf set out alone July 5 on his motorcycle. That afternoon, Wolf lost control of his bike, slid into a ravine, hit a log or rock and went over his handlebars. He broke his neck, injuring his spine which rendered him paralyzed. As he lie paralyzed face down somewhere in the North Cascades, Wolf said he prayed that God would either take him, or someone would find him. When he awoke each morning, he said he realized it might not be his time to go. “I called up to the Lord and asked if it was my time and the Lord said, ‘No!,’” Wolf said during an interview Saturday. Wolf, a quality assurance senior chief with VAQ 136 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, spent three days alone in the wilderness after the accident. When Wolf did not report for duty Friday morning, Navy staff became concerned and launched a search in conjunction with the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office and Day Creek volunteer firefighters. Searchers spent two days looking in the wrong area. They finally contacted his best friend and fellow Senior Chief Ryan Stauffer, who was deployed aboard an aircraft carrier. He knew exactly where Wolf was headed. Relying on Stauffer’s information, Wolf was located within minutes. According to law enforcement agencies, Wolf was found July 7 on Forest Service Road No. 1755 in the FinneyCumberland area, south of the South Skagit Highway. His bike was found
nearby. Wolf was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle by the Navy’s Search and Rescue unit. “They come together and they find you,” Stauffer said. “Joe Blow civilian wouldn’t have been found for weeks.” Wolf’s initial prognosis was not good. As a result of three days of paralysis, his right leg did not get enough circulation. It had to be amputated from the knee down. His right arm was shattered and had to be reconstructed. Though his broken neck rendered him a paraplegic, surgeons were able to restore much of his functionality. Today, after more than a year of rehabilitation, Wolf is able to get around either in a wheelchair or by using a prosthetic leg. He remained at Harborview until recent months. He was released to live with his son, stationed at Fort Lewis. Earlier this month, Wolf was able to go back and visit his medical staff at Harborview. “I got to walk in,” Wolf said. “It was so awesome to meet them. The orthopedic surgeon who put my arm back together couldn’t believe how well I was doing.” Wolf said it was the support of his Navy family, both during the search and through his recovery process, that kept him motivated. Even chiefs from LewisMcChord, where he was previously stationed, came on him at the hospital. Fellow Navy chiefs were frequent guests at Harborview, Wolf said, offering encouragement and hassling him “In the hospital they gave him crap for not having a haircut or being in uniform,” Stauffer said jokingly. “They’d say, ‘senior chief you need to

William “Billy” Wolf survived three days in the Cascades after a crippling dirt bike accident. square yourself away,’” Wolf said. “The Navy really took good care of me. The support chain is what got me through.” Wolf was able to thank them in person earlier this month at the Chief Officer’s Club on Ault Field Road. The key, Wolf said, is that being a part of the Navy chief community is like becoming part of a very loyal family. “They say a chief never forgets,” Stauffer said. “It was overwhelming and it showed us, hey this is real.” Moving forward, Wolf said he has made peace with what happened and is eager to move forward with his life. He plans to still work in aviation or volunteer with the Department of Veterans Affairs working with other amputees. He and Stauffer visited the crash site last week, which gave Wolf some closure, he said. “It felt good,” Wolf said. “I had peace of mind with it.” “The world doesn’t stop because you’ve lost a limb.”
heavy fog CONTINUED FROM A1 vehicle and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. Troopers are also dealing with a lot of minor accidents too. “We’ve been having a lot of fender benders as well,” Francis said. He said people should avoid using high beams in the fog and he recommended people should be patient and avoid passing someone while driving when visibility is low. The National Weather Service is forecasting that the foggy conditions on Whidbey Island will continue
through the weekend with sunny days returning early next week. The persistent fog draping Western Washington is caused by a a temperature inversion where warm, dry air at higher elevations is trapping moist cool air near the surface, according to information from the National Weather Service. During the longer nights and light breezes at the surface, colder air and its moisture settles at the surface. The Weather Service reports that freezing levels are near 13,000 feet and the
temperatures in the mountains reached the 60s with a lot of sunshine while the foggy interior is struggling to rise into the 50s. The constant fog impacted ferry runs and operations at NAS Whidbey. A dozen sailings on the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry route were canceled during from Oct. 16-23
because of fog. On Thursday, the ferry Cathlamet had a close call with a small vessel with the captain notifying passengers to brace for impact. Radar detected the vessel and contact was avoided, a ferry spokesperson said. Some flights at NAS Whidbey were canceled or delayed.

CLAIM CONTINUED FROM A1 sented former police chief Rick Wallace and former city engineer Eric Johnston in similar claims against the city. Wallace claimed Dudley wrongfully terminated him and settled his lawsuit for $18,500. Johnston claimed Dudley created a hostile work environment and settled his claim for $20,000. Dudley campaigned as a reformer and fired a series of city employees in administrative positions since entering office two years ago. Expressing alarm at the high costs of the severance packages of outgoing employees, City Council members are critical of Dudley’s firings. “To date, the mayor’s decisions regarding employee termination issues have unnecessarily cost the city an estimated $650,000 to $750,000,” City Councilman Rick Almberg said. The mayor, however, claims the actual costs are just a fraction of that. Dudley fired Recker early this month. He said he made the decision after working with her to try to improve her work for months. The mayor said he even hired a consultant to help her improve. Recker was an “at-will” employee and could be fired without cause, said Dudley. Dudley offered Recker $15,000 in addition to her onemonth severance package. Instead, she turned down the proposal and filed the claim. Dudley said he consulted with city attorneys prior to firing Recker and is convinced it was done properly. In her claim, Recker argues that Dudley violated public policy by firing her “at a time when she was exercis-
ing her right to take leave from work for cancer related surgery, chemotherapy treatment and recovery as permitted by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act ... the Washington State Family Care Act ... and the City of Oak Harbor’s Family and Medical Leave policy.” Recker was granted a yearlong medical leave effective Oct. 5, 2012. Dudley said she returned to working full-time months ago, after her doctors cleared her. Dudley fired her Oct. 4, the claim said. Skinner said the Family and Medical Leave Act allows employees to take time off intermittently as “medical leave” up to the 12 weeks per 12-month maximum. The idea, for example, is that the employee can take a few weeks off for surgery and recovery, then take off a day or so per week for chemotherapy or other treatment. “Mayor Dudley discriminated against Ms. Recker because of her temporary disability, serious health condition and her protected medical leaves of absence,” the claim alleges. The claim point out that the two former mayors who Recker worked for praised her “for exceptional performance” and Dudley didn’t conduct any performance reviews of her work. Skinner said Dudley’s claim about the quality of Recker’s work was “a pretext to avoid liability for terminating her as a result of her need to take advantage of the FMLA.” The damage claim of more than $700,000 is based on Recker’s annual compensation of $85,000 a year multiplied by 8.25 years of lost service, “had she been allowed to work until the age of 65 years.”

HAUNTED CONTINUED FROM A1 Figuring it was a joke, Perreault called out to the club’s director, Nikki Barone, to knock it off. When she heard Barone’s faint voice respond from the first floor, she freaked. “I started screaming,” Perreault said. Perreault wouldn’t step out from behind the counter without Barone taking her hand and leading the way. It was the latest odd occurrence that Perreault has witnessed. There was a time about three years ago when she and Barone watched a black shadow-like image pass through the upstairs bathroom. Both immediately looked at each other and acknowledged seeing it. “There’s no window in the bathroom,” Perreault said. There was another occasion when children’s laughter was heard during a sleepover. Just when a staff member was about to tell them to quiet down, the kids were found to be sound asleep. Then there was an account two years ago from a roller derby participant, who reported walking out of the bathroom and seeing an elderly woman in old clothes standing behind the kitchen counter. “Dressed like a dairy farmer,” Perreault said. The experiences have led Perreault and Barone to believe in the paranormal. They believe some sort of spirits or ghosts inhabit the barn, once part of a dairy farm owned by logger and farmer James Andrew Neil in the early 1900s. The barn was built by Dutch architecht Otto Van Dyk in 1913 and was the largest barn on the west coast at the time. Despite their haunting experiences, neither Perreault nor Barone have safety concerns. They feel perfectly comfortable in the barn, as long as they have company.
“They’re only good ghosts,” Barone said. “Nothing bad has ever happened here.” “I don’t feel like they’re here to hurt us,” Perreault said. In fact, both say they love the old building and wouldn’t want the boys and girls club to be anywhere else. They just prefer to not be in the barn alone. Barone won’t enter the barn by herself. When pressed, she’s taken her dog in with her. Both Barone and Perreault insist that the haunted house on the first floor, just a short distance from their office, is not the root of what skeptics might call overactive imaginations. “The props don’t scare me,” Perreault said. Not every staff member is afraid. Natasha Hilliard has heard the stories but has encountered nothing unusual herself. Immanuel McLaurin, a freshman at Oak Harbor High School and volunteer actor at the haunted house, said the basement is creepy but he isn’t overly uncomfortable when he’s down there. “It’s not so scary when I’m scaring,” he said. Brian Boyle and Duncan Chalfant, the organizers of Frightville, say there are times when they’ve felt uneasy in the barn’s basement but often those feelings come during times of isolation. Chalfant, who’s on the boys and girls club’s board of directors, said he remembers once when he was working alone at night that he felt like he was being watched, causing the hairs on the back of his neck to stand up. Boyle, Frightville’s manager, has spent countless hours working late preparing for the haunted house and hasn’t run into any real ghosts. Not that he hasn’t had a scare or two. Boyle recalled a time when he and a friend walked by one room that had dozens of dolls hanging from wires. Nobody bumped the dolls, but when Boyle looked back, he saw a single doll swinging back and forth while the rest remained perfectly still. “At that point, we just left,” he said.

IDIPIC, retailer team up to keep trick-or-treating safe By SARA HANSEN Staff Reporter
With the sun setting earlier and fog lingering longing, visibility is key for trick-or-treaters this year. For 13 years, Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County and Walmart have teamed up to ensure children can be seen on Halloween. Halloween is one of the most dangerous nights of the year for pedestrians, with most accidents occurring between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to Consumer Reports. “Since that is when most trick-or-treaters are going doorto-door, we want to help make them more visible to motorists,” said Francis Bagarella, IDIPIC board president. From noon to 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 26, free reflective trick-or-treat bags, clothing and bike reflectors will be distributed to kids at Walmart. Candy will also be passed out at the stores entrance, and games will also be available for children to play. “We always have tons of kids and parents that come by, and
the parents are always appreciative,” said JoAnn Hellmann, IDIPIC director. IDIPIC is a nonprofit organization working to protect citizens from alcohol and substance abuse along roads. Glow-in-the-dark key fobs will also be passed out to parents and other drivers. Hellmann said even if children have glow-sticks and flashlights, sometimes they stick them in their bags. If they have reflectors on their costumes, they will shine when a light hits them adding to their visibility. Walmart has partnered with IDIPIC since this event started, Hellmann said. “It’s for the safety of our community. IDIPIC has a great message and they do a great job educating the community,” said Jeff McMahan, Walmart store manager. McMahan said the store gets a lot of foot traffic, so it’s a good place to reach as many people as possible. “If it’s something good that is going to benefit the community, we’re there,” McMahan said.

Wildcats, Wolves dive into volleyball win column By JIM WALLER Sports editor
The Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school volleyball teams both added key wins Thursday, Oct. 24. The Wildcats boosted their psyche and postseason chances with a 3-0 win over visiting Marysville Getchell, and the Wolves continued to show their improvement with a 3-1 win at Granite Falls. The victories came after losses Tuesday. Oak Harbor fell to visiting Everett 3-0 and host Coupeville was edged 3-2 by Archbishop Murphy.
Final match determines ’Cats postseason fate The 25-14, 25-9, 25-10 win over Marysville Getchell also boosted the Wildcats’ postseason hopes. Oak Harbor (3-5, 3-10) is tied with Shorecrest (3-5, 4-9) for the seventh and final playoff berth going into the fall’s last regular season game. The schedule favors Oak Harbor as its finishes

Shorecrest has to travel to first-place Mountlake Terrace (6-1, 9-3) Wednesday. If Oak Harbor and Shorecrest finish in a tie, the Wildcats hold the tiebreaker because they beat the Scots 3-1 Oct. 3. Oak Harbor knew going into the Getchell match that it should breeze through; the Chargers (0-7, 0-12) are winless this fall and have won only one set. Wildcat coach Kerri Molitor said her team struggles more emotionally than physically and needs to believe in itself. She liked what she saw in the win over Marysville Getchell. “We were relaxed and confident; we need to play that way all the time,” Molitor said. Kayleigh Harper dominated the match with 15 kills, nine aces and three blocks. Claire Anderson chipped in with eight kills, six aces and 12 digs. Hailey Beecher finished with 27 assists, and Natalie McVey had 11 digs. Tuesday, Everett took advantage of an inconsistent performance by the Wildcats to win 25-20, 25-15, 25-13. “We had a lot of serving errors and hitting errors in the first game and it just got worse,” Molitor said.
Looking for something positive about the match, Molitor said, “The first couple of games our passing was OK.” Harper finished with eight kills and three blocks, while Anderson collected seven kills and seven digs. Beecher dished out 15 assists and three aces, and Makenna Martyn had three blocks.
Wolves avenge previous loss to Granite Falls Powered by the offense of Hailey Hammer, Madeline Strasburg and Megan Oakes, Coupeville topped Granite Falls 25-23, 25-17, 20-25, 25-22. Hammer drilled 11 kills and Strasburg added 10 as the Wolves avenged a 3-0 loss to the Tigers (2-11) earlier this month. Oakes, returning to setter where she played last year, initiated the offense with 26 assists while completing 118 of 120 sets. Coupeville coach Kirsty Croghan said, “Megan did a great job in the setter’s position and helped the team step up their game.” The Wolves received help
from throughout the lineup. Breeanna Messner (10-for10) and Kacie Kiel (16-for-16) each earned three aces while having perfect nights serving. Hammer was also 16-for16 serving. In serve receive, Messner was 18-for-22, Amanda Fabrizi 18-for-20 and Haley Sherman 13-for-16. In defensive chances, Fabrizi was 35-for-42, Sherman 20-for-25 and Oakes 17-for-21. Allie Hanigan recorded five blocks. Croghan said, “Great win for the team. They are improving every match.” Coupeville gave secondplace Archbishop Murphy all it could handle. Murphy (9-3, 10-3) was pushed to five games before winning 22-25, 25-14, 19-25, 25-16, 15-10. “Fun game for the girls,” Croghan said. “The team is realizing that they can compete and win against these tougher teams in our league.” The Wolves showed no fear
early when they fell behind 8-4 in the first game. Behind the big hitting of Hammer, Coupeville stormed back to get the win and put Murphy on notice. Hammer finished with a strong stat sheet, ripping 13 kills and five aces to go along with two blocks and completing 13 of 18 defensive chances. Messner had one ace while hitting 14 of 15 serves, was a perfect 22-for-22 in serve receive and went 15-for-23 on defensive chances. Hanigan collected five kills and two blocks, and Fabrizi was 15-for-18 in serve receive and 26-for-35 on defensive chances. Sydney Autio had eight aces on 22 of 24 serves and dished 20 assists. Sydney Aparicio was 11-for-11 in serve receive. Coupeville (2-11, 3-11) closes out the season with a tough match, hosting undefeated King’s (12-0) at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Youth football teams start playoffs Two Oak Harbor youth football teams open the playoffs at Fort Nugent Park today, Oct. 26. The Cougars (6-2), who finished second in the Midget Division during the regular season, play at 11 a.m. The undefeated and first-place Oak Harbor senior team (8-0) follows with a 1 p.m. game with Lakewood (4-4).

Oak Harbor’s Casiano Atienza placed fourth in the Wesco North 3A tournament.
Wolves fight fog, ATM, Granite The Coupeville soccer team lost 6-0 to visiting Archbishop Murphy Tuesday and 2-0 at Granite Falls Thursday. Mother Nature didn’t make life any easier for Coupeville in the loss to undefeated and third-ranked Archbishop Murphy. A deep fog, often making it difficult to see past 30 yards, hampered the Wolves’ defensive effort to slow the highpowered Wildcat offense. Archbishop Murphy (12-0,
14-0), which has outscored its opponents 60-5 this season, pierced the fog for five firsthalf goals. Coupeville coach Troy Cowan said his club played much better in the second half with its “defense stepping up and matching ATM’s energy.” Starting goalie Julia Myers was out with a concussion, and McKayla Bailey and Joye Jackson “did a great job,” Cowan said, against the constant Wildcat assault. Coupeville lost more than

its match at Granite Falls; it lost defender Ivy Luvera to a concussion. Luvera collided with the Tigers’ striker and was taken to Whidbey General. Cowan said Luvera was released early Friday morning and will miss Coupeville’s final two matches. “Ivy was having an incredible match and was keeping Granite Falls’ best player in check,” Cowan said. The Tigers scored a controversial goal on an offsides no-call in the second period. The Tigers put the match away with a late goal off a corner kick. Coupeville (1-11, 2-12) hosts King’s (11-2, 11-3) at 11 a.m. today and then Granite Falls (4-8, 4-9-1) at 6:30 p.m.
Wildcats fall to Marysville schools The two Marysville high school soccer teams shutout Oak Harbor this week, forcing the Wildcats to win their next two league matches to qualify for the playoffs. The Wildcats lost at Marysville-Pilchuck 3-0 Tuesday and 5-0 at home to Marysville Getchell Thursday. In order to qualify for district, Oak Harbor (2-9, 4-9-1) will need to win its final two contests and Stanwood (4-7, 4-9) has to drop its last two. The two teams meet in Stanwood in the regular season finale at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30. First, Oak Harbor goes to Everett (1-10, 1-121) and Stanwood goes to Marysville-Pilchuck (8-3,

Everett’s Malcolm Fox 3-6, 6-3, 6-2; then lost to No.1 seed Jonathan Spores of Stanwood 6-0, 6-0. In doubles, senior Jose Dimaculangan and freshman Jackson Wezeman placed sixth. The pair started with a win, defeating Roman Yefimets and Nathan Kelley of Marysville Getchell 6-2, 6-3. Next they fell to the top seed, Garrett Gosham and Henry Jennings of Stanwood, 7-5, 6-1.

8-6) at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28. Two strong offensive plays carried M-P past Oak Harbor. Coach Mike Lonborg said the Wildcats played well, giving up goals on through balls in the 24th and 34th minutes on well-executed plays by the Tomahawks. “Both were nice plays; no real breakdowns by the defense,” Lonborg said. “M-P just made great plays.” The third Tomahawk score came during injury time after Lonborg emptied his bench. Lonborg said Paige Waterman “had a great game and stopped a couple of through balls that could have been trouble” and keeper Makenzie Perry “did a great job.” He added, “Four of the last five games we have actually played well and have done a much better job of staying consistent.”
Too bad each half of the Getchell match wasn’t five minutes shorter. All of the goals were scored in the final minutes of each period. “We held them for 36 minutes,” Lonborg said, “then...” The Chargers, who are ranked 15th in the state 3A poll, scored on a free kick, a penalty kick and a stoppable ball that slipped through the Wildcat goalie in the final four minutes of the first half. Oak Harbor again shut down the Getchell attack for most of the second half, but the Chargers scored with five minutes left and in stoppage time. “We didn’t do a bad job in the first half,” Lonborg said, “then came the foul. Those last five minutes will get you.” He added, “We are definitely making improvements. They are starting to believe in themselves.”

Author and former Oak Harbor Middle School student Brittany Geragotelis, center, returned home to speak to students about following their dreams. Two of her books have been published, and she has more projects in the works.
Visiting for a spell ‘Don’t let people dictate
your future or your dreams,’ author tells OHMS students
By SARA HANSEN
O Staff reporter
ak Harbor Middle School students had the opportunity to meet a former student turned successful author last week. “Remember this day, and keep it in your head for a long time because you might be the second OHMS author,” said Alice Mikos, an OHMS teacher librarian. Brittany Geragotelis returned to her former school on Oct. 18 to speak to students about becoming an author. Geragotelis had met with Oak Harbor High School students earlier that day. Her two books “What the Spell” and “Life’s a Witch” have been published, with the third “The Witch is
Back” coming out next year. Geragotelis wrote her first book, totaling 100 pages, when she was 15. She told students that she considered this her first book because it was first story she’s finished. Before she had notebooks and notebooks of stories she’d started, but never completed. After graduating from college, she went to work at American Cheerleader Magazine in New York. Geragotelis still found time to write fiction. After work, she’d go home and write until late in the evening. “I was writing books no one was reading because I loved writing,” Geragotelis said. Geragotelis didn’t sugar coat how hard the industry could be for the students. “About 98 percent of this industry is rejection, but that’s how it is for a

It has an anti-bullying atmosphere so it’s a positive place for writers, Geragotelis said. It doesn’t let any comment get posted like YouTube. Even though many of her fans had already read the book for free, they still clamored for a hard copy. “People who love books want to hold it in
their hand, and have a tangible story they can lend to their friends and put on their shelf. They want ownership of that story,” Geragotelis said. Now that she signed a deal for a series of three books with Simon and Schuster, she is able to write full time. Her writing goal is 10 pages a day, seven days a week. Geragotelis did end with one last piece of advice for the aspiring students. “Don’t let people dictate your future or your dreams,” she said.

Find enthusiasts in your life, become one yourself
FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE During the last seven weeks we have taken a look at various pathways people choose in their pursuit of God. If you are like me, I have walked more than one pathway throughout my life with varying results. Some paths I may not again take. Others I’ll walk weekly, if not daily. The concept was developed by writer Gary Thomas in his book, “Sacred Pathways: Discover Your Soul’s Path to God.” In it Thomas identifies “enthusiasts” as those who love God best, and feel closest to Him, when mystery and celebration is present. Enthusiasts are the ones who commonly seek worship that includes supernatural experiences. They are eager and open to varied expressions of faith. Enthusiasts embrace mystery. They are drawn to the notion that certain aspects of faith cannot be fully explained by rational thought. Dreams often play a preeminent role in the lives of enthusiasts and are considered a blessing when they provide clear direction or a new insight into an ongoing struggle. Enthusiasts are comfortable experiencing God in dreams because God is always pursuing us and dreams are one way God can “break in,” getting something across to us that we might not be open to hearing during the day. I recall very few of my dreams, but one that stands out took place some months following the death of my beloved dad. In this particular dream my family
and I were visiting the Seattle Aquarium and after entering, I had hurried over to plunge my hands into the tide pool exhibit. As I gently stroked a sea cucumber my attention was suddenly diverted and from across the room walked my dad. Seeing him and realizing it had been months since I’d been near him, I burst into tears. “Joan,” he said, “we love museums. It’s okay to be happy here. It’s time to stop crying.” Was that God speaking to me? I believe it was; in His own time and in a manner I could accept. Enthusiasts also embrace expectancy, so a carefully planned worship service where there is no room for God to move or people to respond instantaneously would seem unbearably stifling. They pray and expect an immediate experience, some wisdom or a lesson from God. They approach interactions with other people in their personal lives with the same level of expectation.They engage people in conversation with the goal of being able to identify ways to bring the hope, peace, comfort, or the love of God into those interactions. They frequently seek out ways to engage children, knowing that moments like these are good ways to gain a new perspective and remember when life still held hope, promise, and joy. And they are frequently driven to create things — expecting that in doing things like gardening, sewing, singing, baking, writing, or painting they will sense God and experience Him in a very personal way. In a cynical and depressed world, enthusiasts point toward faith, mystery and expectancy. May you find one or be one this week. Joan Bay Klope can be reached at faithfulliving@hotmail.com

You have some small family obligations to take care of. You may also have to stay home for part of the week in order to take care of some work that has to be done before winter. CANCER
Be careful about taking on too much this week. The phone won’t stop ringing. Try not to criticize your loved one or other people. LEO
You should be careful with money and try to respect your budget as much as possible. Some unexpected expenses regarding your home might come up. VIRGO
You feel the need to keep yourself fit while the weather is cold and gray. You could very well join a gym. LIBRA
You should take the time to think before making any decisions at the moment. Go with the flow and you’re sure to get where you want to be. SCORPIO
Watch your step! You might do a blooper and cause a lot of laughter. Fortunately, only your pride is in danger of being hurt. SAGITTARIUS
Time is a rare commodity for you. Be very careful not to make too many appointments on the same day; you may end up not having enough time for all of them. CAPRICORN
With the days getting shorter and shorter, you hurry to plan a last-minute trip. You may also organize a nice event for friends.
