Touch-and-go operations for the Navy’s EA-18G Growler resumed around 3 p.m. Monday, Jan. 6, at Outlying Field Coupeville, part of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Operations at OLF have been suspended since May.

Investigators are asking the public for help identifying a man in what they fear may have been a child abduction attempt on North Whidbey Monday afternoon. A man in a silver SUV offered a 10-year-old girl a ride in a wooded, rural area, according to Undersheriff Kelly Mauck with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The girl was dropped off by SEE SUV, A14

Defense Act funds allots millions for NAS Whidbey

Home invasions raise police concerns

$117 million for EA-18G, P8-A Poseidon programs

Police say they are alarmed by recent burglaries in which an intruder or intruders broke into condominiums while the residents were home. Jennifer Yzaguirre, community service officer with Oak Harbor police, said the two frightening incidents occurred within two weeks of one another at condos in the southwest area of the city. In addition, a third nearby resident discovered that someone stole his Christmas presents delivered to his home.

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station will receive more than $117 million for P8-A Poseidon and EA-18G Growler squadron programs. The funding is part of the National Defense Authorization Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama over Christmas. The act sets the policies and priorities for the Department

of Defense. NAS Whidbey is slated to receive funding for three construction projects. A total of $32 million is allotted for EA-18G facility improvements, $85 million for P8-A facilities and $10 million to replace the fuel pier breakwater. An Environmental Impact Statement process for both aircraft types are underway. The base is expected to receive six or seven P8-A squadrons starting in 2015. In addition, the Navy is considering NAS Whidbey for the addition of two EA-18G expeditionary squadrons in 2016. Capt. Mike Nortier, NAS Whidbey’s commanding officer, said the funding allotment speaks to the integral role that the base plays in the Navy’s military strategy. SEE DEFENSE FUNDING, A14

meets the needs of our sailors and aviators in Northwest Washington and our troops around the world.”

Coast Guard assists in search for suicidal man By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

More than 150 Seahawks fans rallied to support their team on Sunday, Jan. 5 at the Coupeville Wharf. The Hawks play the New Orleans Saints on Saturday, Jan. 11.

Hawks fans roll into Coupeville By SARA HANSEN Staff reporter

Coupeville residents could hear the Blue Wave approaching before they could see it. More than 80 Seahawks fans marched down Main Street on Sunday, Jan. 5 to meet at the Coupeville Wharf, posing for a photo on the pedestrian bridge over State Highway 20. The procession culminated in a photo at the wharf. By the time the band of fans reached the wharf, it had grown to about 150 people. Teresa Besaw and Kory Dyer were the organizers behind the 12th Man Wharf event, as well as the Deception Pass 12th Man rally the previous weekend. Besaw said she came up with the idea for the rally, and told Dyer because he makes her ideas come to life. “Kory is a true planner,” Besaw said. “I don’t think about logistics.” The Seahawks had a bye during the first playoff weekend and will play the New Orleans Saints at 1:35 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, at Century Link Field.

With the upcoming matchup against the Saints, Besaw is confident about Seattle’s chances of winning. “I’m not worried about the Saints — we beat them last time,” Besaw said, referring to a 34-7 victory on Dec. 2. As the crowd began to march, they echoed the same sentiments as Besaw. “Bring on the Ain’ts and we’ll spank ‘em again,” a few shouted from the crowd. Residents from all over Whidbey Island were joined by neighboring fans who made the trek for the rally Sunday. “We came all the way out from Sedro-Woolley,” said Heather Grimm. Grimm is the president of the Skagit Sea Hawkers Booster Club — an official booster club of the Seattle Seahawks. Grimm said she’s talked with Dyer about starting a Whidbey Island chapter. Skagit currently is the fastest growing booster club. “We started with six on a Monday and had 100 in a week,” Grimm said. “We hope to get one started out here.”

Another Seahawks fan Jason Malisch wanted to show off his Hawk pride by carrying two flags attached to the same pole. He decided to make it that morning for the cause. “Go big or go home,” Malisch said. Others brought their dogs dressed up for the occasion to show their support. Tuxedo, a Boston Terrier, has been a fan for his entire life. “He wouldn’t root for anyone else,” his owner Kristen Turner said. Tuxedo is 8 years old and was wearing his Seahawks jersey with a matching collar. If the Seahawks are victorious, they will play the winner of the Carolina Panthers

and 49ers game. For the fans, it wasn’t a matter of if the Seahawks would make it to the Super Bowl, but when. Coupeville resident Traynor Hunt said he wanted the Denver Broncos to go up against the Seahawks. “We want to kick Denver’s ass,” Hunt said. Malisch said Broncos quar terback Peyton Manning would be unsuccessful in running the Broncos’ offense. “Our defense will pick him a part,” Malisch said. To keep up the momentum, Besaw wants to have rally on the ferry to meet up with Mukilteo fans. Dyer said those logistics might be more difficult to work out.

A Coast Guard helicopter joined the search for a suicidal subject on North Whidbey Monday. The man was found hiding in the Jones and Henni roads area after a five-hour search involving three agencies, according to Deputy Chief Mike Brown with North Whidbey Fire and Rescue. The search drew a lot of attention from North Whidbey residents, some of whom reported seeing a circling helicopter shining a floodlight. The Island County Sheriff’s Office was involved in the search, along with the

fire department and Coast Guard. “It was a team effort,” Brown said. The suicidal man’s friends alerted police that he was a danger to himself Monday afternoon. Investigators believed he was hiding in a wooded area, so the Coast Guard was called in to assist. The helicopter has infrared capability, Brown said, which aids in locating warm bodies. The search started at around 4 p.m. and the man was located at 9 p.m. Brown said he didn’t know if the man was found in a woods, but he had been actively avoiding searchers.

Man won’t help police after getting stabbed By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A man who was stabbed in the chest at an Oak Harbor home Saturday is refusing to cooperate with police, according to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded to a residence on the 3000 block of Whitney Drive while investigating a 911 call from the location. They found a 26-year-old man who was stabbed in the chest with a knife. The deputies determined that 22-year-old Joshua Greene stabbed the man,

who was his 20-year-old sister’s boyfriend, during an altercation involving the three of them, the sheriff’s office reported. Greene was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault, fourth-degree assault and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence. He’s being held in Island County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. The victim was transported to Whidbey General Hospital for treatment. Wallace said investigators don’t know his condition because he refused to sign a medical-release form and won’t talk with them about what happened

McD’s GM tops food chain By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

When Bill Arnold got a phone call from his wife asking to greet her at the front counter, the timing wasn’t ideal. It was just after 11 a.m., which meant the Oak Harbor McDonald’s restaurant would soon be brimming with visitors. “I was downstairs working on some things,” Arnold said. “She called me up here to take her order. I mean, I love my wife to death, but I was like ‘Can’t someone else do that for you?’ because I was kind of busy.” Soon there were signs that this wasn’t an ordinary visit. Arnold, general manager of the restaurant, noticed Barb and Ed Johnson, the franchise owners, walking through the door. Then he saw familiar faces from the corporate office, then the pastor from his church. Finally, he saw supervisor Annette Kelly and her husband holding up a sign. “I was like, ‘What is going on?’” Arnold said. Arnold was being recognized for his dedication and service in 30 years with McDonald’s. The surprise ceremony happened Dec. 27 when he was honored with the Ray Kroc award, named after the McDonald’s Corporation’s founder. The performance-based

We all do.” The Arnolds, in fact, met at McDonald’s. They worked together at a McDonald’s restaurant in Lawton, Okla. On Valentine’s Day, they’ll celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. “She was working the night shift and I was one of the managers,” Bill Arnold

recalled. “We met. We had to separate stores once we started seeing each other.” The Arnolds’ two grown sons also have worked at McDonald’s. Sherrie spent 12 years with the corporation, also rising to the rank of general manager. “We’re a McFamily,” Bill Arnold said. The Ray Kroc award is designed to recognize the best store managers in the country. Arnold was one of 142 managers chosen for the award and one of only five in the Northwest region, which is made up of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska.

He earned a cash award, and he and his wife won a threeday trip to Chicago to attend an awards gala in March. “It’s a team effort; it’s not just me,” said Bill Arnold, 48, who’s worked at the restaurant on Midway Boulevard for two years but has been a part of the corporation since he was 17. “The whole team helps get the results. It’s based on results of the restaurant, my career, sales, operations, inspection scores, all that kind of stuff. “It’s not a one-man show. I believe in teamwork. I’m a Christian, and that’s real important to me. I thank God for all the success I’ve had.” Arnold said he knew that he had been nominated for the award but had no idea what was going on when familiar people began arriving at the restaurant. At first, he thought it might be for an inspection. Sherrie Arnold said it took her husband about 30 seconds to grasp what was happening. Kelly called Bill Arnold “the face of McDonald’s,” saying he’s constantly smiling and is very customerfriendly. She said he was deserving of the award. “It’s a big deal,” she said. “It’s a really cool thing for a small town.”

Audit slaps Island Transit By NATHAN WHALEN Staff Reporter

For the second time, state auditors question how Island Transit monitors staff use of take-home vehicles and fuel cards. According to an Accountability Audit Report issued Dec. 30 by the Washington State Auditor’s Office, a finding was issued stating Island Transit officials “did not adequately monitor take home vehicles and fuel card use to ensure they are only used for official purposes.” Island Transit has 14 vehicles and fuel use cards designated for take home. Island Transit previously implemented a policy stating vehicles and cards can only be used for official purposes. According to the report, auditors, however, auditors found: n Transit didn’t adequately monitor vehicle and fuel use. Employees are required to report mileage on a weekly basis, but 11 of the 12 home vehicles tested didn’t report mileage every week. n Of the mileage that was reported, fuel use and purchases were not reconciled to miles logged on vehicles to determine if the assigned vehicle is used only for official business. n Employees with assigned vehicles didn’t document where they were driving the vehicle and for what purpose. n Six vehicles were not marked as transit assets “for official use” as required by

state law. “Without adequate monitoring of vehicle and fuel use, (Island) Transit cannot ensure that assigned take home vehicles are used only for official purposes. As a result, assigned vehicles could be used for activities not related to Transit business,” the report states. Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose said she was caught off guard by the audit findings. “I was kind of surprised,” she said. Island Transit had implemented changes that the auditors requested from the prior audit, Rose said. “We thought we were moving along well.” Several Island Transit employees take vehicles home because it’s an effective to respond to service needs. Staff live in all parts of the island. For example, during times of severe weather, she said, staff who need to inspect road conditions can respond faster from their homes. Auditors issued Island Transit a similar finding in 2011, and said in the latest report they consider the issue unresolved. Island Transit officials responded in the accountability report to the auditor’s finding. According to the Island Transit response, officials implemented a new fueling system including data collection that allows staff to track fuel use on each vehicle. Vehicles stationed on Whidbey Island will be fueled at Island Transit’s campus near Outlying Field.

address the marking of transit vehicles. “We feel this is an issue that needs to be clarified in the RCW,” Rose said in an interview last week. During the 2011 audit, auditors also found that transit didn’t follow bid policies and didn’t have policies related to the approval and monitoring of change orders. Since the findings were issued, auditors noted that Island Transit had one public works project totaling $22 million. Auditors reviewed the project and found officials complied with procurement and bid law and they complied with prevailing wage requirements. The Washington State Auditor’s Office examined Island Transit’s records from Jan. 1, 2011 through Dec. 31, 2012. Auditors examined areas that represented the highest risk of noncompliance, misappropriation or misuse, according to the report. Areas examined include vehicle and fuel use, fuel expenditures, fleet management, payroll, disbursement and the Open Public Meetings Act.

Specific staff will be allowed to fuel vehicles at the headquarters. Reports will outline which employee fueled a vehicle and the mileage made since the last refueling, which will allow staff to monitor fuel use, according Island Transit’s response. Transit officials will implement a procedure where people with “takehome vehicles” provide an end-of-shift report describing vehicle use and the number of miles traveled. That information will be reviewed for reasonability and reconciled with fuel use to ensure vehicles are used for official business, according to the report. Rose added that a new fuel system will come online in 2014 at Island Transit’s new headquarters which will provide a better way for staff to monitor fuel use. As for the marking of vehicles, Island Transit said it uses some vehicles for investigative purposes. It aids local law enforcement in investigating potential illegal activity or vandalism at Island Transit facilities. Transit officials are looking to the legislature to

IN OUR OPINION Funding for NAS Whidbey projects very welcome news PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

Like countless other communities across the nation, North Whidbey and the Oak Harbor have felt the sting of hard economic times in recent years. That’s why the news that Whidbey Island Naval Air Station projects will be funded to the tune of $117 million is very welcome. The funding is included in the National Defense Authorization Bill, approved by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama. NAS Whidbey is the island’s biggest employer. In fact, with approximately 10,000 employees, NAS Whidbey is four times the size of the next nearest employer in Island, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties, according to a recent Island County Economic Development Council study. In that report, the EDC said the Navy base contributed $726 million dollars in salaries to Island County’s economy in 2011 and $15 million to Skagit County. Despite diverging opinions about the Navy’s presence on Whidbey Island, in particular at OLF Coupeville, the numbers can’t be discounted or ignored — the base is the lifeblood of the North Whidbey community. Such a sizable investment into the base by the Defense Department clearly shows that NAS Whidbey is highly valued as a military asset. “These construction dollars will create good jobs on Whidbey Island and further cement NAS Whidbey Island’s role in our national defense,” said Congressman Rick Larsen, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee. During a Oak Harbor Navy League luncheon late last year, Larsen told the gathering that the base’s future on the island is “secure.” It appears he was right. Money for the projects will undoubtedly trickle down and provide an infusion of much-appreciated cash into small- and medium-sized businesses across Whidbey Island and into Skagit County. Funding for NAS Whidbey is apportioned as follows:

n $32 million is allotted for EA-18G Growler facility improvements; n $85 million for P8-A Poseidon facilities, and; n $10 million to replace the fuel pier breakwater.

These projects are exactly the kind of boost that other communities are longing to receive. Even as the Navy’s EIS on OLF noise and the proposed new Poseidon squadrons move forward, the importance of the government funding of these projects cannot be understated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

OLF Noise

‘To what depths will OLF critics sink next?’ Editor, I experienced a new phenomenon at home Saturday morning while trying to read the Whidbey News-Times. My wife took my paper away from me and put it in the recycle bin before I had even finished with it. I had gotten myself into a fit of hysterics reading about the Michael Monson-designated “historically significant hedgerow barrier” at Outlying Field Coupeville. You have got to be kidding me. To what depths of rhetoric will these OLF critics sink next? Although it is entertaining, I’d like to know the extent of the brow-beating poor old Allyson Brooks took from them to get her to change her mind. I surely would not want to have been on the receiving end of that barrage. To close, I might add that looking at significant hedgerows in the United Kingdom and Scotland, where most in the world are, via Google Earth is interesting, especially after having just read what hedgerows are and what they do on Wikipedia. Sadly, when I shifted the view to

OLF, nothing significant was there to be seen even after a complete satellite analysis of the perimeter. Help a fellow out here; what am I missing? Significance? Relevance? Scott Smith Oak Harbor

‘Dismissive attitude’ is beneath McDowell Editor, What about noise and this century do some people not understand? Don Grove’s Dec. 18 letter refers to when Outlying Field Coupeville was constructed in 1943 and not-so-politely wonders why people choose to live near an airfield. Mr. Grove is far from alone in trying to point out that jets have flown at OLF Coupeville for quite a long time. However, anyone who reads the newspaper and is aware of the current issues surrounding OLF, and the federal lawsuit, knows it is all about the EA-18G Growler, which arrived around 2008 — in this century. Please, do your homework, and let’s not confuse older airplanes from past times with the significantly louder Growlers, which only arrived recently. People who moved here prior to 2008 were not told by anyone that much louder jets flying different pat-

terns would be their new neighbors. On a related matter, in a guest editorial, also on Dec. 18, Mac McDowell stated that people who have not served in the Navy, “have no clue of which they speak regarding OLF.” To have such a dismissive attitude toward the named personal view of others with whom you disagree, Mr. McDowell, is really beneath you as an American. Similarly, one could improperly say, “until you live near OLF, you have no clue of which you speak.” Let’s try to respect all views and see if a satisfactory accommodation can result. Mr. McDowell also stated he believes the Navy is more trustworthy than other government organizations. He is entitled to his opinion. However, when the Navy exceeded its own EA operational flight numbers in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, this could hardly be considered an accident. Webster’s Dictionary defines lying as “marked by or containing falsehoods.” Finally, Mr. Grove wished that the old billboard that said, “Pardon our noise, it is the sound of freedom,” was still in place. One might say that noise which stifles discussion and causes hearing loss silences the sound of freedom. Al Lunemann Coupeville

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tranform property into a cemetery

Editor, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, including Outlying Field Coupeville and surrounding area, should be turned into a national military cemetery. Any property owner could be compensated for their property if they wished to move. Any property owner who wished to remain could do so under an agreement with the government. Think of the beauty that could remain and flourish. Think of the peace and quiet. U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen could make this his “thank you” to the people of Whidbey Island. Carol Byng Coupeville

Listen to jet noise and be grateful Editor, While looking up something completely unrelated, I came across a letter regarding jet noise at Outlying Field Coupeville. It seems the complaints center around folks having their tranquil lives disturbed by the Navy practicing touch and goes at OLF Coupeville. I don’t recall the exact year, but it must have been about 30 years ago — give or take — that a woman wrote to the Whidbey News-Times whining about jet noise. As I recall, the noise was disturbing her vacation time on the island. I wrote a letter to the editor at that time expressing my opinion. Now, so many years later, coming across this particular article out of the blue, I must comment again. The animals, birds, planes and the base were most likely there long before those whining about the noise were. Where I live now, people whine about train whistles disturbing their businesses or the smell of cows wafting through their neighborhood. Those are minor things. However, the sound of those jets and the practicing they do is never minor. It is for one purpose and one purpose only — to protect your freedom. I would highly recommend these whiny folks think about the alternative if these young people in the military were not willing to do what they do. I do believe it is a much more difficult job to be in the military today, then when I was in. Instead of whining about your flowers, peace and quiet and inflated dangers of jet noise. I suggest you hush up and move on if you don’t like it. There used to be sign near the back gate of the base which said: “Please pardon our noise — it is the sound of freedom.”

Well, as I believe I said in my letter all those years ago and will say again to Ms. Wolfe and others: The sound of those jets really is the sound of freedom. Listen to it and be grateful. Karen Pixler Fort Collins, Colo.

‘Dismissive attitude’ is beneath McDowell Editor, The noise from the Growler fighter plane has had a huge impact on the lives of central Whidbey’s residents. Our property values are declining, tourists leave when they encounter the jet noise, business is lost, the hearing and health of residents are damaged and our children’s health and education are harmed. All of this with the decibel level noise at 124 and greater, and the significantly increased flights has led to the creation of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve. This is not about COER versus the Navy; it is about citizens caring about the well-being of their families and community, and wanting to protect them. I invite anyone who wants to feel the impact of the Growler noise to come and be in the flight path when the flights resume. Jerome Rosen Coupeville

Blue wave

WNT article helped promote bridge rally Editor, Thank you for writing the Dec. 28 article about Seahawks fans. When my husband, Jason Park, and I were at the bridge for the 12th Man Pass event people kept coming up to us saying that they did not know about or even forgot about it and were still able to make it out to participate because they saw the article. We were not expecting it to be on the front page and the photo being so big. We loved it and we both got a kick out of all the comments we were getting from all our friends and family. We also loved the great showing of all our fellow 12s to the event. So, thank you. Of course, Jason’s bracelet was on his wrist both Saturday and Sunday, and the Hawks won, clinching the NFC West and No. 1 seed. As the saying goes, “it’s only weird if it doesn’t work.” We don’t have an exact number of people who showed up to the 12th Man Pass event, but we counted 150175 supporters at the bridge that day. We were getting 12s from not just on island, but even as far away as Sedro-Woolley. A big “thank you” to Heather Grimm and the Skagit Sea Hawkers Booster Club for joining us on Saturday. It was a great event and everyone had so much fun being on the bridge, waving and cheering on

Page A7

as all the cars passed by. I did not hear of any problems when it came to parking and one of the park rangers kept checking on us to make sure it was going smoothly. Kory Dyer, the organizer of the event, did an amazing job informing everyone about the rules and making sure we were all safe. After the event on the bridge, all the 12s were so pumped up. Everyone kept saying how much fun they had and that they can’t wait for the next one. With all the excitement generated by all the 12s both here on island and the neighboring areas, Jason, Kory Dyer, Michelle Curry and myself decided that we are going to work on starting Whidbey Island’s very own Sea Hawkers Booster Club. It is going to be a fun and wild ride as the Hawks make their way through the playoffs with home field advantage. In 12th Man fashion we will be supporting them as loud and as proud as we can. Go, Hawks! Andrea C.M. Park Oak Harbor

OH Soroptimists

Tree of Hope shows true community spirit Editor, As human beings, every day we try to think of ways to put ourselves in another person’s shoes. How does it feel not having enough money to pay for rent, food or to keep the utilities on for one more day? It’s difficult to imagine not having the basics on a daily basis, let alone during the holidays. These are everyday thoughts for many families in our community, which is why “Tree of Hope” was created. When you are trying to figure out a way to keep the heat on for another month and a roof over your children’s heads, Christmas gifts are not even on your radar. Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor held its annual “Tree of Hope” Christmas celebration for children on Saturday, Dec. 21. “Tree of Hope” started as a Venture Club project in 1987 and was adopted as a Soroptimist program in 2008. It was created so all children in our community would have special Christmas memories. No one ever imagined how this project would evolve or how many children’s lives it would touch. It is now the largest service program on Whidbey Island and provided special Christmas memories for more than 16,000 children. Each year, Tree of Hope gathers applications from qualifying individuals and distributes these names to community members, who then purchase and wrap gifts for an individual child or family. Gifts are collected, verified, and organized by volunteers, and distributed at the annual Tree of Hope Christmas Party.

Volunteers contribute approximately 1,500 hours of service each year to make it a memorable Christmas for every family. Imagine for a moment that you are a child and you wake up on Christmas morning with very little to celebrate. Some of the children in our community are hoping to have just a little something, anything at all, for Christmas. Although Christmas is not about the presents, it is the time when we create some of our most precious memories with family and friends. We have no idea what they may be going through and the recent economic downturn has compelled even more families to ask for help than ever before. This is the main reason why Tree of Hope 2013 was our largest program ever with 425 families and over 950 children. Each year we receive thank you cards and tearful hugs from parents who don’t have any more to give. Without this program, many of them may not be able to provide anything for their children at Christmas. Tree of Hope week would not be a reality if the Oak Harbor Church of Christ had not opened its doors to us for the past seven years. What we used to do in only one night has turned into a week-long stream-lined work of beauty. We absolutely couldn’t pull off a project of this magnitude without their continued generosity! It was another fabulous year of Community participation and we would like to thank every business and individual who participated through sponsorship, wrapping, organizing donated presents or monetary donations. Thanks to the generosity and support of our local community we are able to continue our mission “to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment.” The community spirit we see every year is why we love this service project. Thank you, Whidbey Island. Rose Freitas and Cheri English Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor

OBITUARIES

McNae

William Raymond McNae

William Raymond McNae was born March 18, 1925, in Seattle to William and Helen (McFeat) McNae. He attended Seattle schools, graduating from Garfield High School in 1943. Upon his graduation, Bill enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and served as a Seabee for three years during World War II. Following his honorable discharge in 1946, Bill entered the University of Washington, where he studied forestry for a time. Bill soon changed his major to art education, which he found more suitable to his natural talents. He married Joan Burrows in 1949. After farming for four years in Alberta and being employed as a draftsman for the Boeing Company, he returned to the University of Washington and received his bachelor of arts degree in art education in 1962. In later years he attained his master’s degree in education, and worked as a seasonal ranger at Mount Rainier National Park for nine summers. Bill taught art at Chinook Junior High School in Bellevue for 25 years and wood carving at Bellevue Community College. On Feb. 12, 1977, he married Marjorie Stackhouse Carpenter. The couple made their home in Bellevue. Bill retired from teaching in 1987. In 1995, he and Marj moved to Oak Harbor, settling on property which he had purchased in 1963. It was there that Bill enjoyed such hobbies as carving, sketching, beachcombing, gardening and the occasional Pepsi break. He was a member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. Bill is survived by his wife Marj at home in Oak Harbor; their four children: Robin Fluharty (Phil Bransford) of Seattle, Debbie Shores of Kirkland, David Carpenter (Gretchen) of Sammamish,

He was preceded in death by a brother, Bert McNae, and a sister, Eva Whitney. Bill was deeply loved and admired — he will be missed by all who knew him. A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. Memorials may be made to the Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation, M/S S-200, P.O.

She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Lloyd, two children, four step-children and two grandchildren. Laura moved to Whidbey Island with her family in 1965. She worked at Patton Realty and Harrington-Fick Real Estate until early 1970 when she chose to become a full-time “domestic engineer.” During that time she was active with Troop 59 BSA, Little League, vacation Bible school and many other activities in support of her children. As her children grew, she returned to college, attending Skagit Valley College, where she met Lloyd, Western Washington University and Antioch College where she ultimately achieved her goal of a masters in social work. She worked for various agencies in Island, Skagit, Grays Harbor and Franklin counties.

Boys basketball teams sky to first wins of 2013-14 By JIM WALLER Sports editor

This was no lost weekend. The Coupeville High School boys basketball team dismantled visiting Orcas Island 84-37 Saturday, Jan. 4, and the Oak Harbor boys won at Marysville-Pilchuck 58-55 Friday, Jan. 3, as each club picked up its first win of the season.

Coupeville rebounds after losing close one It was a long time coming, but there was no doubt about it once it arrived. The lopsided victory over Orcas Island helped take away some of the pain of the Wolves’ 0-6 start, including a tough two-point loss, 47-45, to visiting La Conner the night before. The win broke a 13-game losing streak which began last year and was only the second victory in the past 47 games. “I am proud of the kids,” coach Anthony Smith said. “They kept working hard; they deserved it. It was a good, solid team effort.” “I was tired of people telling us ‘good game.’ We wanted a good win.” The improved play of the Wolves over the weekend can be attributed, partially, to the return of senior Gavin O’Keefe. O’Keefe broke his foot the second game of last season and was out for the remainder of the year. He then suffered the same injury during open gym in October. O’Keefe, who underwent surgery and rehabilitation, returned to the court Friday. His strong, all-around play will help steady the Wolves, Smith said; and those attributes were evident Friday and Saturday although O’Keefe is only “about 75 percent.” “He might be only 75 percent, but he only knows one speed,” Smith said. “He plays hard; he doesn’t cut back.” O’Keefe said “it feels great” to be back. He said the most frustrating part about sitting out was watching the Wolves lose and “there was nothing

I could do about it; there was nothing I could do to help out.” O’Keefe was one of five players in double figures in the win over Orcas Island (0-4). He scored 13 points, Anthony Bergeron added 19, Aaron Trumbull 16, Wiley Hesselgrave 14 and Morgan Payne 11. Joel Walstad finished with five points, Matt Shank four and Jared Helmstadter two. Coupeville committed only six turnovers. The Wolves led 27-7, 57-18 and 72-25 at the quarters. Smith lauded the play of Bergeron, who is playing in just his second year of organized basketball. Smith called the senior post a “student of the game,” watching game tapes and working hard to improve. The Wolves cruised to the win even without starting center Nick Streubel, who had a football commitment in Oregon. The loss to La Conner was a heart-breaker. The Wolves, down 42-30 heading into the fourth quarter, went on a 13-1 run to tie the game at 43 with 2:15 left. Streubel, who led the comeback with 11 fourth-quarter points, scored the equalizer. He, however, fouled out 24 seconds later and La Conner’s Matt Finley hit two free throws to help the Braves regain the lead. La Conner (5-2) scored again on a Coupeville turnover seconds later. Walstad made it 47-45 with 49 seconds left. Coupeville forced La Conner into a shot-clock violation, but the Wolves couldn’t tie it on their last possession. Streubel scored 13 points, Bergeron nine, Hesselgrave eight, O’Keefe five, Trumbull four, Payne four and Walstad two. The Wolves (0-3, 1-6) meet Archbishop Murphy (2-1, 2-7) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10, in Everett.

Coupeville girls add to solid start The Coupeville High School girls basketball team defeated La Conner 39-25 Friday, Jan. 3, and previously unbeaten Orcas Island 50-44 Saturday. The nonleague wins boosted the Wolves’ record to 5-2, the strongest start since they

began 6-1 in 2010. Against La Conner, Coupeville led 12-4 at the end of the first quarter and 21-11 at the break. A 10-0 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters wrapped up the game and put the Wolves up 33-14 with 6:20

left in the contest. Madeline Strasburg topped the Wolves with 12 points; she also had three assists. Makana Stone collected nine points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Bree Messner added six points, six rebounds, three

shot free throws in the win, but the pair, particularly Drew Washington,

assists and two steals. Julia Myers had six points, Amanda Fabrizi four and Hailey Hammer three. Coach David King said one of the keys going into the game was controlling La Conner’s Katie Novak. The Wolves did just that, holding the normally sharp-shooting guard to zero points. Coupeville led most of the

made the most of the opportunities. Washington connected on 16 of 18 from the line on the way to scoring a game-high 28 points. Oak Harbor shot just two more free throws, both makes by Zach Gibbs, and finished 18-for-20, 90 percent. The Tomahawks had six more chances than the Wildcats from the foul line but made two less (16-for26, 61.5 percent). Oak Harbor also won the battle of the boards. Coach Mike Washington said his staff emphasized “finishing on the defensive end with rebounds,” and the message got through. Oak Harbor outrebounding Marysville-Pilchuck 41-34, including 18-11 at the offensive end that led to a 17-7 edge in second-chance points. Oak Harbor built a 23-12 lead in the second period, then M-P started to work its way back in the game. From that point until the end of the third period, the Tomahawks outscored Oak Harbor 20-10 and trailed by only one, 33-32, going into the final quarter. Coach Washington said his team has played well lately and told his club as it took the court Friday that “we’re winning tonight.” “Great team win,” he said. “We fought through adversity and got the ‘W.’” Dyllan Harris scored 16 points, hitting four three-pointers, and collected nine rebounds. Gibbs finished with 10 points and nine rebounds. Gabe Groenig picked up four points and seven boards; Zach Jones had four rebounds, two assists and two steals. Drew Washington added six rebounds, three assists and two steals to his 28 points. He has scored more than 20 points in five consecutive games. Kevin Cacabelos, a freelance writer from Seattle, has ranked the state’s best high school seniors the past six years. Drew Washington was listed 24th when Cacabelos released his list Jan. 3.

Wrestlers finish 3rd in 27-team tourney

Wildcat girls suffer painful loss

Although the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team didn’t enter athletes in five weight classes, it still finished third in the 27-team Everett Classic at Jackson High School Saturday, Jan. 4. Jeremy Vester (132 pounds), Jahleel Vester (138) and Mark Johnston (152) each won individual championships, while Christian Bertram (113) and Jackson Constant (285) finished third. Ferndale won the team title with 144 points, and Mount Vernon edged Oak Harbor for second 125-122. Jeremy Vester and Johnston both defeated wrestlers who stopped them earlier this season and Jahleel Vester overcame a 9-3 deficit to win their championships. After losing 7-5 in the opening round, Constant recorded four pins to nab third. The final fall came over the opponent who defeated him in round one. Bertram collected three pins, and his only loss was by one point in the semifinals. Oak Harbor (2-1) travels to Marysville-Pilchuck (2-3) for a 7 p.m. match Thursday, Jan. 16. The Tomahawks are ranked 12th and the Wildcats 14th in the latest Washington Wrestling Report poll. Oak Harbor results at the Everett Classic: 106 pounds, Garrett Stahl: bye, lost by pin, won by pin, lost 10-4. 113, Christian Bertram (third place): won by pin, won by pin, lost 6-5, won by pin. 120, Carl Caidic: lost by pin, lost 16-0. 132: Jeremy Vester (first place): won by pin, won by pin, won 10-2, won 6-0. 138: Jahleel Vester (first place): won 15-2, won 15-3, won 4-3, won 13-11. 152: Mark Johnston (first place): won by pin, won by pin, won 7-2, won by pin. 152: Sebastian Ceaser: won 6-4, lost 12-3, lost 12-8. 195: Jacob Dugin: lost by pin, won 2-0, lost 6-3. 285: Jackson Constant (third place): lost 7-5, won by pin, won by pin, won by pin, won by pin. 285: Tyler Adamson: won by pin, won by pin, lost by pin.

Some losses hurt more than others. Such was the case when the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team fell 56-48 in overtime to visiting Sedro-Woolley in a nonleague game Monday, Jan. 6. The Wildcats also lost 47-28 in a Wesco game Friday, Jan. 3, at MarysvillePilchuck. The pains of the SedroWoolley loss were many. First, and foremost, the Wildcats let an opportunity to snare their first win of the season slip away. Second, Oak Harbor appeared to take control with a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter but went into a shooting slump, scoring only two points in an eightminute span. Third, the loss wiped out a first-half comeback by Oak Harbor. And fourth, the game was poorly officiated, upsetting both teams, their coaches and their fans and turning what should have been an exciting experience into an act of frustration and agony. The officials called 52 fouls (30 on Oak Harbor, which had three players disqualified). The teams combined to shoot 53 three free throws with the Cubs getting the lion’s share, connecting on 19 of 37. The Wildcats hit six of 16. The overtime, normally a tense and thrilling situation, turned into a parade to the foul line. The teams combined to shoot 27 free throws in the extra period when nearly every possession ended with a foul call. The Cubs capitalized on the chances, nailing nine of 14 while Oak Harbor hit only four of 13. Oak Harbor’s Annie

final frame. The Wildcats went up 39-30 with 6:35 left in the game, then their offense went silent. The Cubs tied the game at 39-39 with 1:54 left. Julie Jansen scored off an offense rebound to give Oak Harbor the lead with 1:37 remaining. SedroWoolley tied it seconds later and neither team scored again over the final 1:30 of regulation as each committed two turnovers. The Cubs scored the first six points of overtime to secure the win. The longest gap between foul calls in the four-minute OT was 31 seconds. Six were called (three on each team) in the final 38 seconds. Oak Harbor coach Jon Atkins saw several positives in the loss. “We are really starting to grasp the offense,” he said. He also liked the play of Jansen. The freshman was promoted from the junior varsity and “provided a spark,” Akins said. “She has a great future.” Leete scored a gamehigh 21 points. Guzman and Bunch had seven each, Jansen four, Natalie Fiallos three, Kenna Prosch two, AnnaBelle Whitefoot two and Hayley Lundstrom two. Three Cubs scored in double figures, with Mikayela Nutting getting 15, eight from the line. The win was the Cubs’ third straight after six losses.

Gavin Keohane of Coupeville is one of four boat captains featured in the reality television series, ‘Alaska Fish Wars,’ which starts its second season Jan. 13.

Another dose of reality Coupeville’s Keohane grows wiser in second season of television series By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

If he were a traditional actor, Gavin Keohane might be able to say he’s becoming more seasoned in front of a television camera. But Keohane is no actor, he’s a fishing boat captain. Still, in the world of reality TV, what’s important is that he has a strong camera presence, is articulate and can weave together a good tale for viewers. Keohane, a 33-year-old commercial fisherman from Coupeville, has impressed the producers of a cable television series enough on all fronts to remain a part of a select cast. Keohane will star again in Alaska Fish Wars, which will air the first episode of its second season at 7 p.m. Pacific time Jan. 13 on the National Geographic Wild channel. He recently returned

home to Coupeville to visit family over the holidays and shared some insight on the show, reality TV in general and his hope to start selling fresh Alaska salmon through direct marketing. Keohane said production beefed up for the second season of Alaska Fish Wars, which was filmed during about a dozen days of salmon fishing in July in Cook Inlet. Keohane, who pilots the North Crow, is one of four boat captains featured in the series with each trying to catch the most salmon during a three-week season. This season, the show has added another young skipper while cutting loose one of the veterans from last year. Keohane and deckhand Chris Cotter again find themselves matching wits against more senior captains with faster vessels and more sophisticated equip-

ment. Last year, Keohane was depicted as a rookie captain making some rookie mistakes, including one morning of oversleeping and missing high tide to get his boat out to sea. He isn’t entirely sure what the final production will look like in this season’s six episodes or what will get edited out of the series. “It’s a fairly accurate show,” Keohane said of what transpires on the boat

and in the editing room. “We probably didn’t do the best everyday or on any given day but we came out well.” Keohane, a 1999 Coupeville High School graduate who went on to earn business and economic degrees and play basketball at Occidental College in Los Angeles, fishes five months a year in Alaska whether it be for cod, shrimp, halibut or salmon. He’s a third generation

commercial salmon fisherman, learning the trade from his parents Tim and Paula Keohane, who both skippered fishing boats in Alaska. Keohane said he’s never spent a summer away from Alaskan waters and the story goes that he learned to crawl in a fishing boat. What he’s learned more recently is how to manage himself with a cameraman shadowing his every move. SEE REALITY TV, A12

Each boat has a single cameraman onboard as well as remote cameras set in various locations. Keohane said he learned a lot from Sean Stack, the Los Angeles producer who filmed him on the North Crow the past two seasons. “The format in which you talk is different,” Keohane said. “I had a great cameraman. He taught me how to speak to the camera in ways that they can use.” Keohane learned to phrase questions, then answer them, while sounding natural. “Gavin’s a really smart guy,” said Stack. “He understands that ultimately we do need to tell a story. He was always very helpful in letting me know what’s happening, so I can get the story. I’m not a fisherman. I learn everything about their world through research and being out with the guys.” Keohane said he doesn’t know if Alaska Fish Wars will continue after this season, or if his brief reality TV fame will fade. He said he is stopped from time to time by someone who recognizes him. “You’d be surprised who watches these things,” he said. On Jan. 13, one surprise might be who doesn’t. Alaska Fish Wars opens on the same night of

Keohane’s mother’s birthday. His dad made dinner reservations in Seattle, not knowing at the time that the show opened on that date. “At this point, there is no formal commitment on what we’re going to do,” Tim Keohane said. Last year, Tim and Paula Keohane attended a premiere party hosted by friends on Whidbey Island, then went to a season-ending gathering at the Ballard Smoke Shop. “That’s where many of the bar scenes from Deadliest Catch are filmed,” Tim Keohane said, speaking about Alaska’s hit reality TV series on the Discovery Channel. Chances are, one way or another, they’ll catch their son’s show. He’s their only child, and their pride in him stretches as wide as Cook Inlet. Keohane, who’s been captaining his own boat since 2003, is looking to tackle a new adventure soon. He is exploring ways to sell his fish directly to buyers on the west coast. He said he believes he can sell his fish at a competitive price with assurances of quality and authenticity. He said not all fish arrives to buyers as advertised, which has created some distrust in the marketplace. “There’s definitely some room for some trust,” he said.

HOME INVASIONS CONTINUED FROM A1 Yzaguirre held a community meeting Monday night with residents of Mariner Heights condos to hear their concerns and provide safety tips. She also posted a video about preventing break-ins through garage doors. The video can be viewed on the Whidbey NewsTimes page at www.facebook.com/WhidbeyNews. At about 10 p.m. at Dec. 26, a woman in a Mariner Heights condo woke up to see a flashlight coming up the stairs. She banged on the wall and screamed to alert the residents in the adjoining condo to her plight. The neighbors called police and the burglar fled out the front door. Police said the burglar gained entrance through a garage door; Yzaguirre explained that older doors aren’t always safe from intruders, but can be secured. Nothing was stolen, but the intruder apparently

moved a video camera. Then on Jan. 4, a burglar struck another condo not far away on Southwest Kimball Drive. The resident was at home, but slept through the breakin. The intruder got away with laptop computers, a range finder, a hunting bow, hunting gear, ammo and other items. Yzaguirre said neighbors reported hearing a banging noise at around midnight. The intruder got into the unit by using a shovel to pry open a door. On Jan. 2, a man on Swantown Road reported finding empty boxes addressed to him in the community garbage. Apparently someone stole packages from his porch, opened them, took the presents and threw out the boxes. He’s now calling relatives to see what he was supposed to get for Christmas, Yzaguirre said. She suspects that all three incidents may be related since they are in walking distance of each other.

SUV CONTINUED FROM A1 a school bus in a rural area on Taylor Road at Sawmill Road at about 3 p.m. She walked down Sawmill Road and came upon an SUV with tinted windows parked behind bushes on the side of the road. The driver rolled down his window and asked if she wanted a ride home. The girl ran away and heard the vehicle drive off. She went home, told her parents about the incident and they called police. A deputy responded but was unable to locate the vehicle. The driver is described as a white man with medium to dark brown hair and no facial hair. Mauck said investigators want

It’s not a photo of the suspect vehicle and may not be the right model, but it’s close to what the girl described. to identify the man, though he likely didn’t break the law by offering the girl a ride home. He said the driver’s intentions may have been innocent, but his actions were not appropriate. “It was definitely not what I would consider to be acceptable

behavior,” he said. If anyone person has information about this incident, they can contact Detective Rick Felici with the Island County Sheriff’s Office at 360-678-4422 or by calling I-COM Dispatch at 360-6786116.

DEFENSE FUNDING CONTINUED FROM A1 “While we are still waiting for Congress to pass the appropriations bill, the prioritized projects contained in the defense bill have been identified as important to the fleet and underscore the importance of NAS Whidbey Island’s strategic role for the Navy’s readiness, even in a tough fiscal environment,” Nortier said in an emailed statement. In total, the federal bill appropriates $3.2 billion for the Navy’s P-8A Poseidon program and provides full funding, $1.6 billion, for a refueling tanker being constructed at The Boeing Co.’s Everett facility. “This defense bill meets the needs of our sailors and aviators in Northwest Washington and our troops around the world,” said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee. Larsen said he facilitated language in the bill to help small- and medium-sized businesses secure government contracts. “Small- and medium-sized businesses often provide the best products at the lowest costs,” Larsen said. “Because of complex contracting requirements, these businesses often need assistance to compete for government projects.” “My language in this bill will help more businesses compete for government contracts. It will

help companies grow and create jobs, and it will get the best products at the lowest costs to federal, state and local agencies.” Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Director Kathy Reed, who spearheaded Oak Harbor’s “Jets = Jobs” campaign in the wake of a federal lawsuit filed against the Navy, said the funding is welcome news in light of the economic downturn of the last few years. “Obviously it’s good news for Oak Harbor in particular and Whidbey Island in general,” Reed said. “We benefit an incredible amount from the presence of the Navy base. After such a depressed economy, we’re already seeing growth.” “You can’t deny the base is good for business.” On a broader scale, the bill designates a senior official within the Defense Department to facilitate the transfer of prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay and restores funding to help prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. The bill also includes 30 provisions to reduce sexual assaults in the military which will strip commanders of their ability to dismiss findings of a court marital, prohibit commanders from reducing sentences, and allow victims to apply for permanent changes of station and access to special counsel.

Oak Harbor police are on the lookout for Christopher and Abigail. Detective Carl Seim apprehended a suspected drug-dealing Grinch last week and confiscated several gift-wrapped Christmas presents from the suspect’s car. Also found in the vehicle were burglary tools and other stolen property, according to Seim. Seim and Jennifer Yzaguirre, the police department’s community service officer, are trying to identify the intended recipients and return the presents. So far, they haven’t had any luck. The four presents are addressed to “Christopher” and to “Abigail.” The tags identify the gift givers as “grandpa and grandma,” “Uncle Johnny and Shannon” and “Uncle Don and Alex.” Seim said he’s pretty sure the unopened gifts don’t belong to the apparent childless suspect, Oak Harbor resident Shane Larsen, 42. Seim said he opened a couple of the packages — in case Larsen was using gift wrap to disguise something nefarious. Inside were children’s books. Seim cracked the case while he was helping the patrol division. He was in a police car on State Highway 20 when he spotted a vehicle he recognized and decided to follow it. Seim said he recognized the driver, Larsen, and stopped him on suspicion of driving while his license was suspended. Seim said he recognized Larsen was a “meth dealer” from a previous case. The detective searched Larsen and found a plastic bag containing suspected methamphetamine in his pants pocket. He arrested Larsen

and had the car towed to the police department. Seim searched the car after securing a warrant. Inside, Seim said he found the Christmas presents and a duffel bag containing a coin collection. He found information about the owner in the collection. The coins belong to a Coupeville man who lost it in a burglary in November. The collection includes ancient Roman and Greek coins. The owner values it at more than $30,000. Some of the coins are missing. Seim said he can’t guess why Larsen was holding on to the coins. “I guess he didn’t realize what he had,” he said. “It’s common for drug dealers to trade meth for stolen property.” Larsen was booked into jail on suspicion of possession of stolen property and possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine. He’s being held in lieu of $100,000 bail. Seim said the bail amount is especially high because Larsen was charged in another meth-related case this past fall. According to the detective, Navy security found Larsen in a car parked suspiciously at the CPO Club on Sept. 24. The officers stopped him after he pulled forward and hit a parked truck. The officers said they noticed burglary tools “in plain view” and searched Larsen. The officers pulled a syringe out of his pocket and a plastic bag of suspected meth fell on the ground, according to Seim. The Navy asked Seim, a drug enforcement officer, to take over the case. He said a golf-ball-sized chunk of meth was found inside Larsen’s car. Larsen was charged in the case, but it hasn’t been resolved.
