City explores panhandling ordinance

STATE of the STATION

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, presents the annual State of the Station to more than 100 attendees during the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday at the Elks Lodge #2362.

Skipper says NAS Whidbey Island will see substantial growth in coming years

Although “Jeff the Giant” claims to be the tallest man on Whidbey Island, he doesn’t cut a very imposing figure as he stands with a cardboard sign at the entrance of the Oak Harbor Safeway complex Wednesday afternoon. With a goofy smile and an affable manner, Jeff Pangburn happily collects cookies, deli food and a few dollars from people driving by. “I don’t ask people for nothing, I just stand here with my sign,” he said. Pangburn is one of the increasing number of homeless and poor people who’ve taken up panhandling in the city. The spot near Safeway, he said, is the most popular and can be hard to get. Pangburn said he’s mystified and a little worried that Oak Harbor City Council is considering a panhandling ordinance at the Jan. 21 meeting, though he doesn’t know the details of it.

Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, praised the community’s support of “Team Whidbey” at Thursday’s annual State of the Station address to the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. “For the leadership on base, those community partners and service providers are what make Team Whidbey successful,” Nortier said. “Those relationships we have, both on a personal and professional level are both very important.” More than one hundred people attended the luncheon at the Elks Club to hear about future growth in base population, aircraft

Oak Harbor and the surrounding community can expect the number of active duty personnel at NAS Whidbey to increase by 25 percent between 2015 and 2018.

The Island County sheriff is holding a community meeting Thursday to discuss a homeless, Level 3 sex offender who’s moving to the Oak Harbor area. In addition, a Level 2 sex offender recently moved to Southwest 10th Avenue in Oak Harbor. A person deemed as “a Level 3 sex offender” is considered a high risk to reoffend; Level 2 offenders are considered a moderate risk. The meeting will be 6:30 p.m.,

Amber Alert Clinton man sentenced for stabbing subject found friend, goes to jail for three months on Camano Pleads guilty by Alford’s plea to third-degree assault for April crime By JESSIE STENSLAND

By JESSIE STENSLAND

Staff reporter

A Clinton man who slashed his friend’s throat and stabbed him twice was sentenced under a plea bargain this week. Kamren F. Adams, 21, pleaded guilty by Alford’s plea to third-degree assault. An Alford’s plea means he’s not admitting his guilt, but concedes the prosecutor has enough evidence to convict him at trial. The judge went along with the sentence recommendation presented by both the

A 6-year-old boy who was the subject of an Amber Alert in Rhode Island was found safe on Camano Island Thursday night, according to Island County Sheriff Mark Brown. The boy’s mother, Andria Britt, was accused of kidnapping him in a “custodial interference” case, Brown said. Investigators found that Britt’s parents lived on Camano Island. A couple of deputies talked to them at length and convinced them that it would be best if Britt turned herself in, the sheriff said. Britt voluntarily surrendered Thursday. “Everybody involved was very cooperative,” Brown said. She was taken to the Island County Jail and the boy was placed in temporarily care of the state’s youth services. The Amber Alert that had been issued for the boy in Rhode Island was canceled late Thursday. Police in Rhode Island issued an Amber Alert for the boy Wednesday, a week after he was believed taken by his mother. Britt was supposed to turn him over to his father on Jan. 8, but she failed to show up.

prosecutor and defense and sent him to jail for three months. The assault was reported just after midnight, on April 14 at Wilson Place in Clinton. Adams and the 34-year-old victim, Justin Hilleary, had been drinking and fighting earlier in the night. Adams slashed Hilleary’s throat with a knife, cutting him from below his right ear, across the right side of his throat and down to his chest. He also stabbed Hilleary in the chest and in the forearm, causing a wound that went

all the way through his forearm, according to a report by Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. Paramedics transported Hilleary to Providence Hospital in Everett, where he recovered after initially being in critical condition. Adams was originally charged with second-degree assault, but Adams claimed self defense and the prosecutor’s case had holes. Eric Ohme, Island County chief criminal deputy prosecutor, said the victim couldn’t

remember the assault and the only witness could not be located. He explained that the state had the burden to prove the absence of self defense beyond a reasonable doubt, which would be extremely difficult with the evidence. As a result, Ohme said, he worked out an agreement in which Adams pleaded to a lesser felony assault, but which still calls for jail time and assures that Adams is responsible for the victim’s restitution.

Deputy catches Langley motorcyclist in gravel By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

NAVY EXTENDS PUBLIC SCOPING PERIOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND THE U.S. NAVY HAS EXTENDED THE SCOPING PERIOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS) FOR EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAS WHIDBEY ISLAND’S AULT FIELD AND OUTLYING LANDING FIELD (OLF) COUPEVILLE, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). In response to public and elected official requests, and in order to ensure all surrounding communities have ample opportunity to provide input, the Navy has extended the scoping period until Friday, January 31. The scoping period began September 5, and the original deadline for scoping comments was January 3. The lengthy public scoping period was due to the fact that the scoping meetings were scheduled for December 2013. These dates were chosen to avoid possible cancellation of the meetings during any government shutdown and to avoid conflicting with P-8A Draft Supplemental EIS public meetings and comment period. These meetings were also ongoing in the vicinity of NAS Whidbey Island during the same timeframe. Public input is very important in order for the Navy to fully understand community concerns and relevant issues.

Burning ember evacuates schools By NATHAN WHALEN Staff Reporter

A burning ember simmering in a dust pile prompted the evacuation of Coupeville Middle and High School Wednesday afternoon. At approximately 1:30 p.m., maintenance supervisor Scott Losey was in the process of changing a belt in the air handling unit for the woodworking and metalworking building at Coupeville High School. He discovered a small ember and burning dust. The fire alarm was triggered and students in both schools were evacuated to a playing field next to the gym building, according to information from the

Coupeville School District. Students returned to class approximately 25 minutes later. Losey was able to extinguish the small fire, which was contained within the metal ductwork. Firefighters from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue responded to the alarm. They were onsite shortly after the alarm sounded. Superintendent Jim Shank expressed appreciation for the quick response from Losey and the fire department, and the students and staff who followed fire drill procedures to quickly evacuate. “Staff handled it great and students handled it great,” Shank said.

North Whidbey park and rec district postpones decisions again Board to look at bylaws, state auditor’s report, pool temperature By SARA HANSEN Staff reporter

After deferring approval for three meetings’ minutes, tabling an amendment to the bylaws, postponing electing 2014 commission officers and delaying review of the state auditor’s report — the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District Commissioners meeting came to a close. “Bring some coffee and tea because it’s going to be a long meeting,” said Commissioner Allan McDougall, referring to the next February meeting. Commissioner Chair Sean Merrill was absent from the meeting. To add to the jampacked February agenda, Commissioner Steve Hoffmire recommended the board also make a decision on how the board plans to handle a pending fraud investigation. “We’re supposed to get back to the auditor if we’re not going after the money,” Hoffmire said. “We really need to make a decision.” The auditors recommended the district recover the cost of the fraud investigation involving former Aquajets coach and former administrative assistant, or possibly an insurance bonding company, for $7,818 in investigative costs.

Former district director Bill Walker fired swim coach Neil Romney and administrative assistant Vikki Robinson in 2012 when both refused to provide him with a password for the swim club’s bank account. A year-long investigation took place, which the auditors said they found more than $18,000 in adjustments made to club members’ accounts without explanation. The state Auditor’s Office also recommended the district seek $639 from Romney. In the report, the auditors found that Romney submitted and received reimbursement requests to the district for $639 he had already paid with checks from the aquatic club account. When contacted by auditors, Romney said he made errors in reimbursement filings. To add to the decisions the district needs to make, finding a new director is on the list. Walker resigned at the end of last year, leaving the position vacant. Also to be discussed at the next meeting is an amendment to the bylaws. The proposed amendment would change the duties of the director so that any appointment or a dismissal of a full-time, contracted district employee must be approved by the board. Currently the district has three full-time employees.

Hoffmire did not agree with the amendment. “We hire a director to do that,” Hoffmire said. “By adding to the bylaws, we’re micromanaging.” Commissioner David Walton said he did not see the amendment as a threat, but as a secondary protection to employees. He moved to table the discussion until all of the commissioners were present at the February meeting. Also at the next meeting, the board will also discuss

the temperature of the pool. A petition with 147 signatures was received in October to raise the pool to 83 degrees. The pool is set to be at 82 degrees currently. In October the board voted unanimously to revisit the issue after three months of data had been collected. n The next meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20 at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, 85 S.E.

Senior Center remembers Roxann Dunn-Terry Longtime program coordinator passed away at age 60

“She was really the heart of this place in many ways. It’s tough for all us. We just have this big void.”

By JESSIE STENSLAND

Mike McIntyre, Oak Harbor Senior Center director

Staff reporter

One of the most well-known faces at the Oak Harbor Senior Center is missing. Roxann Dunn-Terry, the longtime program coordinator at the center, passed away Jan. 8 after a brief illness. Her death, at age 60, shocked many at the center. Mike McIntyre, senior center director, said people are still in the process of grieving the loss, but they hope to have a special memorial for Dunn-Terry in the near future. Her funeral and viewing at Wallin Funeral Home took place last week. “She was really the heart of this place in many ways,” he said. “It’s tough for all us. We just have this big void.” Three of Dunn-Terry’s close friends at the Senior Center sat down with the Whidbey News-Times to speak about her this week. Mary McYoung, Edna Schultz and Cookie Carrothers describe Dunn-Terry as a friendly, steady presence at the center. “She just had a big heart,” Carrothers said. “It just came natural to her.” Dunn-Terry cared deeply about the people at the center, they said, and made a point of learning everything she could about the seniors. She always took the time to speak with people and had a talent for consoling and mediating conflicts. “If you needed someone to play pinochle, she was always willing to drop everything she was doing and join in,” said Schultz, who added that Dunn-Terry was pretty good at the game. Dunn-Terry was in charge of the center’s popular travel program and especially loved the crab cruises.

Roxann Dunn-Terry passed away Jan. 8. She was known for her love of crab. McYoung said Dunny-Terry and her husband James Terry went along on some of the more memorable trips, including one

involving a mouse in a hotel room at Mount Rainier. The women said it was clear that Dunn-

Terry had a tight-knit family and cared about them deeply. “She was very close to her granddaughter,” McYoung said. “She just spoiled her.” Dunn-Terry was also known for her legendary love of chocolate. “Crab and chocolate. Those were her things,” McIntyre said. Dunn-Terry was the editor of The Bridge when it was a joint publication of the Senior Center and the Whidbey News-Times. Her friends said they loved the columns she wrote, which often touched on the community and her family — and of course her beloved granddaughter. Dunn-Terry was born July 17, 1953 at the Navy Dispensary at the Sea Plane Base. Her family moved away but returned to Oak Harbor in 1969; she graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1971, according to her obituary. Her friends said she was very dedicated to her church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. She was proud of her 14 years as a seminary teacher and loved the scriptures. She also loved her friends, arts and crafts, reading, writing, concerts, theater, travel and moose, her obituary states. Dunn-Terry’s family asked for memorial be made to the Oak Harbor Senior Center Foundation, which can be mailed to 51 SE Jerome St., Oak Harbor.

Ivan Neaigus puts the final touches on his painting for the upcoming show “In Transition.”

Langley resident works to inspire caregivers

By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record

Ivan Neaigus’ life as a caregiver is an unfinished canvas. Perhaps it will always be so. His wife, Sarah Letitia Wallace, died in 2012 after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease, but the Langley resident is not yet ready to set aside the role. The Langley resident wants to help caregivers bring the spark back into life for loved ones with Alzheimer’s. He’s developed a program, “Transitional Togetherness,” with friend Talia Toni Marcus that will highlight Wallace’s artwork in a show called “In Transition.” “Finding that stimulus in their past life, is the important thing,” he said. Neaigus, a sculptor, watched Wallace shift into a passive state after her diagnosis in 2001. To encourage her to get back in touch with life, he began doing what she loves — creating art. Neaigus reassembled her art room and together they began sketching. The results were astonishing. Wallace re-engaged with life.

Page A5

Art show The show begins at 5 p.m. today, Jan. 18 at the Brackenwood Gallery, 302 First St, Langley. Neaigus and Marcus will begin a presentation on the work and information on the disease at 6 p.m. with a second presentation at 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25. The show runs through Monday, Jan. 27.

“For Sarah, it was a revival,” he said. Her first sketch was completed in just two days. “I grabbed another piece of paper, and on we went,” he said. Wallace used colored pencils as her medium and completed 45 images. Her last was never finished. Now, Neaigus hopes to help other caregivers going through a similar experience. His work places an emphasis on the caregiver because the patient is always a given, he said. “A caregiver is in a different position, a conduit between life and the patient,” he said. “If they have their center together, they can permeate that to the patient.”

IN OUR OPINION

Required legal notices is still a good policy A house bill dropped in the state Legislature this week that would allow school districts to cease publishing public notices for certain purposes, among them school closures, name changes and sale of surplus property. The presumption is House Bill 2319 would save districts money. Any supposed savings to local government is, in fact, false economy — there are hidden and very dangerous costs. In trying to save resources, school districts would curtail access to the legislative process, and ensure that fewer — rather than more — citizens know what their elected representatives are up to. The publishing of public notices in newspapers of record dates to 1789, when the first Congress required publication of its bills, orders, resolutions and votes in at least three generally available newspapers. The founders recognized that government should not be the gatekeepers of its own information. The purpose was to require government to report its actions to citizens in a medium independent of government influence or control: the newspaper. It was good policy then, and it remains good policy today. Publishing legal notices in a newspaper of record ensures that decisions related to public debt, ordinances and laws, zoning, taxation and quality of life — all matters of compelling and perpetual public interest — are made with transparency. Legal notices empower the public to get involved in the process. And it contributes to a reservoir of archived material in a form that cannot be altered, changed, hacked, hidden or manipulated after the fact. This would simply not be true of notices published exclusively online. In publishing public notices in newspapers of record, local government acknowledges that government itself carries the burden of keeping citizens informed, and that it will not shift that burden to the citizens themselves to go hunting for information. To that end, the local, general-interest newspaper remains the vehicle with the widest reach to the widest cross-section of the community. SEE OPINION, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In response

Agrees that public silence doesn’t help end the war Editor, I would like to respond to the letter written by Dave DeMarsh from Logar Province, Afghanistan. You are so right about all of us keeping you there by our silence or our vote. Since we are not directly inconvenienced by the war, i.e. rationing or extra taxes, etc., we don’t suffer in the least bit and think about it less and less. We here in Oak Harbor, however, do get the right to complain about jet noise. Some of us feel so righteous when complaining — can’t hear the TV for goodness sake! My ears hurt! It would benefit us all more if we, as citizens, complained about the trillions spent on war machinery and about the loss or crippling of our service people. And the way veterans are lost in the system when they return

with mental issues? And the mis-guided invasions of foreign countries. I don’t have to give up anything for this war, except some noise over my head once in a while. I can live with that at present. But now the Navy will send more squadrons to Whidbey. The war departments want more, and more, and they will want more and more wars. It will never end. Follow the money trail.

COER leader shifts blame to someone else Editor, This letter is in response to your Jan. 11 article, “COER Leader Initialed disclosure form in ’03,” which reveals that, despite his past insistence that he never received a jet noise disclosure, Michael Monson did both receive and initial such a form. Not such an important matter, real-

ly, but Mr. Monson’s strong reaction to it is telling: n He dismisses the disclosure form 22W as “worthless.” n He claims that releasing information about his disclosure form was a “personal attack” and an improper use of private information. n He asks that information about him and his disclosure form be removed from the News-Times webpage (so much for freedom of the press). n He says he’s considering a lawsuit against Windermere. Mr. Monson’s actions represent perfectly the culture and mindset of his COER fellow travelers: Shift the blame for your actions to someone else; then sue them. I signed a noise disclosure form when I bought my home, and I don’t care who knows it. Why is Mr. Monson so concerned that people know he initialed his? John Close Oak Harbor

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Outlying Field issue

Jets too noisy for West Beach Road Editor, I purchased a home off West Beach eight years ago. At that time, the jet noise rating provided to me at purchase by the Realtor was negligible, as was the noise level itself for eight years. However, over the past several weeks, it has become borderline intolerable, about one to two days weekly. Today was one of those days. It has gone on literally all day long, sometimes shaking the house. I am informed from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station public relations that some of the Outlying Field

activity has been transferred up to the main facility. Perhaps I misunderstood. If this is true, I find it patently unsatisfactory. Am I alone in this? I would appreciate someone in authority clarifying the current situation and explaining the rationale for simply transferring a problem to other areas. This is not what I signed up for when I bought my home. Scott Berkman Oak Harbor

Sorry you didn’t read the fine print Editor, I am so sick of this stupid Outlying Field argument. For the love of God and country, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, just let these boys and girls do their jobs and practice getting on and off a carrier safely. Or instead of reading what you sign before you sign it, would you rather read about how one of those

planes missed the wire and went off of the back-end of a carrier deck? We are all sorry that you made the mistake of carelessly buying property in a high noise zone, but please don’t keep making young air crews risk their lives more than they already do because of it. You are to blame for your mistakes, not them. Now let’s get back to peace and sound of freedom here on Whidbey. Ginny Weeks Oak Harbor

OPINION CONTINUED FROM A6 Not all citizens have computers, or smartphones, and not all have regular access to the web. Indeed, there are cost barriers to entry into, and participation in, today’s world of digital communication. But anyone and everyone can at any time go down to the public library or the coffee shop, pick up the local community newspaper and find out through the public notices what their government is doing. General-interest newspapers provide precisely what government needs most — a direct and demonstrable conduit to its citizens. Should government take its information to the people, or should government make the people come looking for that information, through a maze of agency and departmental websites? We believe — and we are confident Washington citizens agree — that government at all levels has an affirmative obligation to take its information to the people — to make that extra effort, to ensure that public notices are not just “available,” but also widely seen and widely read. House Bill 2319 flouts that obligation, and it should be rejected. The Legislature had the wisdom to dismiss similar legislation in 2012, and should demonstrate that same wisdom today.

Blakely

1811 NE 16th Ave Oak Harbor, WA 360-675-3447

Burton F. Blakely Burton Francis Blakely was born on Nov. 6, 1929, in Chicago and passed away on Jan. 12, 2014, surrounded by his loving family after a two-year struggle with lung cancer. Burt served our country valiantly for 20 years in the Air Force where he served in the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and Combat Alert Missions during the cold war. Burt was an aerial gunner on B-29’s, B-36’s and B-52’s. He ended his honorable military career after serving for 20 years; retiring in 1968 at Castle Air Force Base in California, his last duty station. Burt was a beloved husband, brother, uncle, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. He enjoyed numerous actives that he shared with his children and, in doing so, blessing them with wonderful memories of camping, crabbing, hunting, fishing and the challenge of poker. He enjoyed gardening and was proud of his annual tomato garden. Burt taught his family to be independent and self-sufficient. He shared his commitment to the church, serving the Lord and his devotion to “Our Lady of Guadalupe” with his family. His example and commitment to the Lord will be passed down through the generations to his decedents. He is survived by his beautiful wife of 63 years, as well as seven children and their spouses, 19 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank friends in the community, especially the “coffee group’’ and St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Dr. Lycksell and his staff and Hospice for the overwhelming support, love and compassion shown to Burt and

Hunskor

Claude H. Hunskor Claude Howard Hunskor, 86, of Oak Harbor, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on Jan. 10, 2014. He was born June 16, 1927, in Oak Harbor to Carl and Hilda Hunskor. He graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1945. Upon graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served during WWII. Following his brief time in the Navy, Claude entered Pacific Lutheran University where he played on the men’s basketball team and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in education. Claude moved to Ketchikan, Alaska, in 1955 where he taught high school math. Claude was named head basketball coach of the Ketchikan High School Kings in 1957. He led his team to five state championships, earning the nickname “The Silver Fox of Tongas Narrows” and became one of the winningest high school basketball coaches in Alaska state history. It was at Ketchikan High School where he met a young English teacher named Nancy Jo Swank. Claude and Nancy married in 1965 and their son Mark Hayden was born three years later. The family moved back home to Oak Harbor in 1970 where Claude built a home on his beloved Strawberry Point right next door to his parents. Claude had a strong love of the sea and while

in Ketchikan, realized his dream of owning his own fishing boat. In 1963, the gillnetter “Lori Maureen” was built in Prince Rupert, Canada. Claude went on to fish for salmon in Southeast Alaska for the next 30 years. He was joined on the Lori Maureen every summer by his son, Mark, where they picked countless thousands of salmon out of their net off Foggy Point. Claude lost his wife, Nancy, to cancer in 1989 and retired from fishing in 1993. In his retirement he enjoyed digging for clams, crabbing and walking the beach in front of his house. He also enjoyed daily visits with his siblings, Marion and Helen, who lived just up the hill. Claude traveled to a variety of places in his life, but the most memorable for him was a three week trip to Norway in 1999 with his son, Mark, to experience their family heritage. Claude took great pride in his family and was overjoyed at the arrival of his first grandchild, Hayden Walter in 2001. His granddaughter, Rose Nancy, was born shortly after, and they were the apple of his eye. Through it all, the primary influence and guiding light in Claude’s life was his relationship with Christ. He was a charter member of Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and found great comfort in his faith and devotion to God. Claude will be remembered for his love of lutefisk, his competitive spirit, his old fishing stories and his unceasing generosity. He was preceded in death by his brother Hans, father Carl, mother Hilda and brother Marion. He is survived by his son Mark, daughter-inlaw Angele, grandchildren Hayden and Rose and sister Helen Brandt. A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, 1253 N.W. Second Ave., Oak Harbor. Remembrances can be made to the Pastor’s Emergency Fund at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church.

Parrish

Margaret Parrish Margaret Parrish was called from her earthly home in Oak Harbor to be with her Lord on Jan. 12, 2014, at the age of 87. Margaret was born on April 28, 1926, in Wedron, Ill., to William and Grace (Richardson) McMichael. She graduated from Serena High School in 1944. After school she worked as a ticketing agent for the railroad in Chicago. She met Dean E. Parrish and they where married on Oct. 29, 1946. Dean was in the Navy, and, after their marriage, they we were stationed at Great Lakes, Ill.; Coronado, Calif.; Eva Beach, Hawaii; and, then, Whidbey Island. Dean retired from the Navy in 1969. They purchased a home and property in the Oak Harbor area and raised their two children. When not taking care of their son Paul, Margaret worked for the Navy Housing Authority and later the Oak Harbor School District as an office assistant. When the kids grew up and their son Paul moved to Seattle to the Cerebral Palsy Center, Dean and Margaret traveled often, including to Scotland and England, but mostly to Florida and Illinois to visit friends and family. Margaret loved to travel, work out in the garden, be with family and go with friends to the local casinos. Dean and Margaret also hosted many summer picnics at their home for those at the Cerebral Palsy Center. Later on in her life Margaret volunteered at the Oak Harbor Senior Center where she assisted coordinating trips and outings and was a host for many tours. Her helping spirit to

others was also evident when in 1996 she became a driver with the volunteer chore of Senior Services of Island County for 10 years, logging more than 21,000 miles of driving fellow senior citizens to medical appointments. When she turned 80 she decided to hang it up because she joked she was older then most of the people she assisted and also she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Margaret is survived by her daughter Pam (Rich) Tyhuis, grandson Brian (Kirstin) Tyhuis and granddaughter Melanie (Ryan) McCarthy, all of Oak Harbor; and grandchildren Aiden and Madison McCarthy and Hallie and Jake Tyhuis. She was preceded in death by her husband Dean in 1994 and son Paul in 1996. In her last days she was cared for by staff from Visiting Angels and Whidbey General Home Health, and ministered to by Joan and Myra from Stevens’s ministries. We want to especially thank Ann, Denise and Luketta for their care and love for Margaret. A memorial service to celebrate her life was held at the Oak harbor Christian Reformed Church on Friday, Jan. 17. If you wish, memorials can be given to the Oak Harbor Senior Center Foundation.

McNett

Muriel McNett Muriel McNett passed away early Friday morning, January 3, 2014, in Springfield, Ore. She was

surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Muriel was born on Oct. 3, 1929, in Beloit, Wis., and grew up in Wenatchee, Wash. Muriel met Lloyd McNett, a career Navy man on leave visiting his parents, in Wenatchee. They married on Sept. 23, 1950. in Yuma, Ariz. The Navy sent the family to Newport, R.I.; Seattle; San Diego, Calif.; Japan; Guam; and, finally in 1959 with her five children, Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island. Muriel loved children, and after her youngest child Luke entered sixth grade, she opened an inhome daycare. After Lloyd, her husband of 54 years, passed away in March 2005, Muriel sold their home in Oak Harbor and moved to Springfield, Ore., to live closer to Nancy, her oldest daughter. Muriel is survived by her brother Jim Norton and his wife Karen; daughters Nancy and her husband Rick Junker, Sharon and her husband Steve Beal, and Patty and her husband Larry Mayfield; son Tim McNett and his wife Catherine; 10 grandchildren; and 37 great-grand children. She was preceded in death by her younger sister Sue Simmons and son Luke. Muriel was a gracious woman who was beautiful inside and out; who treated everyone with dignity and respect; a loving mother who taught her children how to love and how important family is; who loved to laugh and had an infectious smile; and was an excellent baker who made awesome divinity candy. Muriel enjoyed eating Hershey’s Kisses, crocheting, watching the Seattle Mariners, playing the organ and camping, in that order. While living in Oak Harbor, Muriel was a member of Eastern Star. Her love, laughter and hugs will be missed by many.

GAME OF THE WEEK

Oak Harbor hosts 14th-ranked Glacier Peak in boys basketball at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

There is something about Shorewood that brings out the best in the Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team. For the third consecutive year, the Wildcats upset the Thunderbirds. Two of those wins came on the Thunderbirds’ court, including the latest, 65-54, Tuesday, Jan. 14. The first two surprise wins occurred in the opening round of the district tournament. Oak Harbor headed to Shorewood this week with only two wins in 11 games, while the Thunderbirds held an 8-4 record. No matter. The Wildcats led throughout, cruising to a 15-7 first-quarter lead and raising the bulge to 27-16 at the break. The gap swelled to 18, 38-20, when Oak Harbor started the third quarter on a 9-4 run. Both teams scored 15 points in the third quarter and 23 in the fourth. Oak Harbor produced one of its best shooting nights of the season, connecting on 42 percent of its shots (22 for 52). Its defense, which was the difference in the game, according to coach

Carl Caidic’s pin in the final match lifted the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team to a 33-30 win at Marysville-Pilchuck Thursday, Jan. 16. The 17th-ranked Wildcats (2-0, 5-1) trailed the 11th-ranked Tomahawks (0-2, 6-6) by three points heading into the last bout, then Caidic (120 pounds), a first-year wrestler, pinned Justin Collier seconds before the end of the first round. Another key win came at 132, where two of the state’s top wrestlers squared off. Eleventh-ranked Jeremy Vester nipped seventhranked Ryan Daurie 5-4. Oak Harbor coach Peter Esvelt noted that sometimes how a wrestler loses helps the team win in a “match were every point counted.” He said Mike Engleman’s strong effort at 160 in his first varsity match, losing a close decision and nearly pinning his opponent, cost Oak Harbor only three team points. Garrett Stahl (106), Esvelt said, scored five points in the final 15 seconds in his loss that saved team points.

M-P won the first match with a pin over William Stuntz (126), then Oak Harbor won four straight: Jeremy Vester, Jahleel Vester (138, 13-0); Sebastian Ceaser (145, 5-4) and Mark Johnston (152, 14-11). The Tomahawks countered by winning the next four. Engleman lost 13-9, then Kekai Tarrant (170), Matt Zafra (182) and Jacob Dugin (195) lost by pins. Ray Quinday (220) stopped the M-P steak with an 8-2 win, and Jackson Constant (285) followed with a pin. Stahl lost 13-7 and Christian Bertram (113) won 16-1, setting up Caidic’s thrilling finish. “M-P wrestled well and gave up very few points,” Esvelt said. “We had some guys step up in big ways to get us the win. A good first league match in what is going to be a tough league.” Oak Harbor takes part in the Jack Reynolds Memorial Tournament at Mercer Island High School at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 18

Coupeville girls back on winning track the game with 17 steals, six from Bree Messner and four by Kacie Kiel. The Wolves collected 43 rebounds, with an incredible 25 at the offensive end. The effort was even more impressive considering injured starting post Hailey Hammer missed the game. Makana Stone led the assault on the boards with 12 rebounds (seven of offense), and Monica Vidoni added eight (five on offense), Kiel seven (six on offense) and Amanda Fabrizi six (three on offense). Stone scored seven points and Kiel, starting for Hammer, five in the first quarter to get the Wolves started. With Hammer out and post players

Mike Washington, limited Shorewood to 31 percent (19 for 61). The Wildcats out-rebounded the T-birds 46-34 and held an 11-4 advantage in secondchance points. Oak Harbor (15 for 22) also outscored Shorewood (8 for 16) by seven at the foul line. Shorewood made up some ground by outscoring the ‘Cats 17-11 off turnovers. Oak Harbor committed 18 turnovers to the Thunderbirds’ 14. Zach Gibbs led the Wildcats with a strong allaround game: 14 points, 12 rebounds, two blocks and a steal. Dyllan Harris lit up the scoreboard with 25 points; he also had six rebounds. Drew Washington chipped in with 15 points, six boards and two blocks; and Gabe Groenig added seven points and nine rebounds. Jordan Davenport scored two points, and Zach Jones and Elijah Smith one each. “Great team effort,” coach Washington said. “(I’m) very proud of the team.” Oak Harbor (3-3, 3-9) greets 14th-ranked Glacier Peak (4-2, 9-3) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Buoyed by an impressive all-around game, the Coupeville High School girls basketball team got back to its winning ways with a 48-19 victory at Granite Falls Tuesday, Jan. 14. In a game with many positives, the one that stood out most was defense. Coupeville held the Tigers to only seven first-half points, leading 17-4 and 34-7 at the quarters. The Wolves managed to top that effort by blanking Granite Falls in the third period to go up 42-7. Coupeville coach David King said the goal was to disrupt the Tigers’ offense by changing defenses. Zone and man-toman presses led to many steals and easy baskets for his club. Coupeville finished

Stone and Julia Myers in foul trouble, Monica Vidoni picked up the slack inside and scored six second-quarter points to keep the Wolves’ offense humming heading into halftime. For the game, Stone led Coupeville with 14 points and 12 rebounds though she sat much of the game, first with fouls and then while reserves played during the rout. Kiel added seven points, Vidoni six, Fabrizi six, Maddi Strasburg five, Messner four, Myers four and Wynter Thorne two. The Wolves (3-3, 5-5) entertains tough Cedarcrest (5-1, 10-2) at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Dominating the second half of the meet, the Oak Harbor High School swim team rolled by Cascade 106-76 at Everett’s Forest Park Pool Thursday, Jan. 16. The Wildcats held only a six-point lead, 48-42, after the first six events, then pulled away with a help of a sweep of the top three spots in the 100-yard backstroke and going 1-2 in the 200 free relay. Cascade (2-4) hung with Oak Harbor early in part because it swept the diving, earning 13 points; the Wildcats do not have a dive team. Caley Powers and Cedric Cabigting continued their strong season by winning two individual events and two relays. Powers captured the 50 free (24.25) and 200 medley (2:15.47), and Cabigting won the 100 butterfly (58.74) and 100 back (1:01.62). Powers and Cabigting teamed up with Dakota Powers and Micha Geist to win the 200 medley relay (1:54.65) and joined Derek Volk and Dakota Powers to take the 200 free relay (1:42.44). Jake Nelson won in the 100 breaststroke (1:14.1). Oak Harbor (5-2), along with Marysville Getchell (2-5), goes to Marysville-Pilchuck (1-6) for a double dual meet at 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.

T-birds control boards to stymie Oak Harbor Pulling down 35 offensive rebounds and forcing 26 turnovers, the Shorewood High School girls basketball team flew by host Oak Harbor 81-47 Wednesday, Jan. 15. The extra opportunities from those boards and Oak Harbor mistakes enabled the Thunderbirds to hoist 85 shots and lift their Wesco record to 3-3 (9-4 overall). Shorewood finished with 51 rebounds and 24 secondchance points. They also scored 24 points off Oak Harbor’s 26 turnovers. Spurred by four points from Julie Jansen and five from Annie Leete, Oak Harbor put a bit of a scare in Shorewood when it narrowed the gap to 50-40 with 3:07 left in the third period. The Thunderbirds quickly dashed Oak Harbor’s comeback hopes with a 15-2 run, started by four Wildcat turnovers in a 63-second span that led to eight points. For the game, Leete knocked down four threes to finish with 18 points. Freshman Bryn Langrock earned a start and added 11 points, nine on three-pointers. Jinai Guzman scored nine points, Jansen six, Hayley Lundstrom two and Annabelle Whitefoot one. Oak Harbor (0-6, 0-12) goes to Glacier Peak (4-2, 11-1) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Struggles continue for Coupeville boys By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The third-quarter blues have haunted the Coupeville High School boys basketball team all season; the latest verse came in a 79-52 loss to visiting Granite Falls Tuesday, Jan. 14. The Tigers (2-3, 5-6) outscored Coupeville 26-15 in the tide-turning third period and 43-21 in the second half to roll to the easy win after a tight first half. The Wolves hung around early, matching each Granite Falls push with a run of their own. The Tigers went up 7-0, then the Wolves answered to go up 8-7. Granite Falls then led 13-8 and Coupeville tied it at 15. Next, the Tigers moved ahead 26-20, and the Wolves evened the score midway through the second period. From that point, Coupeville failed to respond. Granite Falls led 36-31 at halftime, then scored the first nine points of the third quarter and was never threatened. The Tigers’ Evan West scored 10 points and KC Spencer seven in the third period to lead the breakaway. Spencer added eight in the fourth on the way to a game-

high 23 points, one more than West. Turnovers plagued Coupeville throughout, even when the Wolves were in the game in the first half. Ten of the Tigers first-half points came on lay-ins after Coupeville turnovers. Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said, “Give Granite credit, they took us out of our game.” The Tigers used a fullcourt press and ball-hawking half court man-to-man to harass the Wolves. “The press bothered us, but I don’t know why,” Smith said. “Everybody has to get on the same page.” “We played well in the first half,” Smith said. “The second half, for some reason, has been our nemesis.” Anthony Bergeron led Coupeville with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Morgan Payne came off the bench and provided some offensive punch with 11 points. Nick Streubel added eight points and six rebounds. Gavin O’Keefe scored seven points, Joel Walstad four and Wiley Hesselgrave two. The loss was a blow to Coupeville’s playoff hopes. The Wolves considered the

Bill would educate elected officials on public records By CHRISTOPHER LOPAZE WNPA News Service reporter

Lawmakers are considering a bill that would send public officials and employees to what amounts to open-records school. House Bill 2121 would require public officials and employees to undergo training on open government laws under the state’s Public Records Act and the Open Public Meetings Act. When the public’s right to know is “stymied” by a public records officer, Rep. Gerry Pollet said, “it’s not a pleasant thing to deal with.” Pollet is the main sponsor of the bill, and advocated for a similar bill last year. Supporters of the bill said violations are often inadvertent errors caused by a lack of knowledge, and the training requirement would help reduce unintentional infractions. A 2012 report from the state auditor’s office identified more than 250 open government-related issues among local jurisdictions. After receiving a public records request from the Washington Coalition for Open Government last year, former Coulee Dam Mayor Quincy Snow responded in a letter that he had a problem with the request and “I am fed up with this kind of harassment.” Under the statutes known as the Public Records Act, which Washington voters passed as an initiative in 1972, the town has a responsibility to respond to public disclosure requests. In 2011, KING5 found that public records request infractions cost taxpayers about $1.7 million in financial penalties. The Washington State Supreme Court has said that when the court is deliberating penalties, the lack of training could result in higher financial penalties, while evidence of training could reduce financial penalties. Brian Enslow, senior policy director with the Washington State Association of Counties, testified Tuesday at a legislative hearing that he supports the “basic mechanism” of the bill, but questions whether the training requirement would result in significant cost savings. He asked lawmakers to pursue more comprehensive reform, and deal with “over burdensome and harassing requests.” “That is currently the biggest impedi-

ment to creating that culture of compliance within our elected officials,” Enslow said. Toby Nixon, former state House member and current president of Washington Coalition for Open Government, conceded the records request process can be time consuming and expensive, but the public has a fundamental right to know. “Under state law, fulfilling public records requests is a core function,” Nixon said. He said by adopting this bill, the legislators and the governor would send the message that “accountability to the public is important, and they take it seriously.” At the request of the Legislature, the William D. Ruckelshaus Center conducted a study and found that “the vast majority of public records requests — and requestors — are reasonable” and there is insufficient data on abusive requests to make any conclusion on the prevalence of “nuisance requesters.” The center, a joint effort between the University of Washington and Washington State University, helps communities build consensus on public-policy issues, according to its website. Nancy Krier, the assistant attorney general for open government, is developing the training, which is expected to be low to no-cost. “The training we hope will help not only foster a culture of compliance, but we also hope to reduce payouts,” she said in an interview. Training could be done online or at an in-person training session. The attorney general’s office recently uploaded a training page that includes resources for understanding the public records laws. It will eventually include videos, Krier said. “Agency compliance is only as good as it’s weakest link,” Krier said. The fiscal note for the bill predicts no additional cost to the attorney general’s office, adding that the impact to local government is unclear. Training costs could increase, but agencies could save money as a result of reductions in civil penalties and litigation. Pollet said the bill is more likely to affect smaller jurisdictions or state agencies with a high turnover in public records staff. He said he expects a vote next week on HB 2121 in the House Committee on Government Operations and Elections. The Senate is considering a similar bill.

Volunteers who run Relay for Life of Whidbey Island balance time with devotion to fighting cancer

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

he hat wasn’t one Mary Brock would ordinarily choose for a public speaking engagement. Not only did it make her head feel too hot, she admitted that it looked kind of silly. But that was the idea. As one of the chief organizers of the Relay for Life of Whidbey Island, Brock understands that most people involved in the fight against cancer can use a little humor in their lives. She dressed the part with a clown cap as she spoke before more than 100 people who gathered at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge Wednesday night for the kickoff rally for the 2014 Relay for Life of Whidbey Island. Although the room had a festive feel with jugglers on hand as part of this year’s “Carnival of Hope” theme, Brock got the audience’s attention early on by making a sobering point. She told the group that she knew of two people whose lives were claimed by cancer and another whose condition required life-changing surgery.

Luminary sacks lined the track at North Whidbey Middle School last year to remember those who had lost their battle to cancer.

How to help Those interested in learning more or getting involved with Relay for Life of Whidbey Island may send an email to relaywhidbey@gmail.com, or go to the website at www.relayforlife.org and type whidbey into the event search. Another option is to call 1-800227-2345. The 2014 event is May 30-31 at North Whidbey Middle School in Oak Harbor.

And that was only since the beginning of January. It is statistics like those that keep Brock and her husband Kelly active almost yearround in helping organize the annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society on Whidbey Island. “It makes me want to fight even harder,” Mary Brock said. “I told Kelly I will fight until people stop dying.” The Brocks, who live in Oak Harbor, are part of a committee of more than 30 organizers who volunteer significant amounts of their time in the fight against cancer. The Whidbey Island event will take place May 30-31 at North Whidbey Middle School in Oak Harbor, however, the work doesn’t end until fundraising stops in late summer. And, in a way, the work never ends. “Last year, it ended August 30,” Brock said, “and we had our first (2014) committee meeting in September. It’s a year-long commitment when you’re on the committee.” The Brocks got involved in Relay for Life in Oak Harbor in 2006, a year after Kelly’s sister, Wendi VanTine, died from cancer. “The same year, his brother was diagnosed with cancer,” Mary Brock said, referring to Kevin Brock, who is now in remission. “We

For the second year in a row, Mary Brock is serving as team development coordinator, while her husband continues to be in charge of logistics. It is Mary Brock’s job to recruit teams for Relay for Life and organize monthly rally meetings. Her husband is responsible for coordinating the setup and teardown of the Relay for Life event and the monthly meetings, among other tasks. “This year, they are the backbone of Relay,” said Leandra Reuble, chair of the Relay for Life of Whidbey Island. “They are the folks who are always at every meeting. They’re always willing to support the other committee members. They’re the first ones to step up and say, ‘I’ll do it.’ They go so far above and beyond.” Like so many of the volunteers, Reuble also was impacted by the loss of loved ones to cancer. She lost her

She got involved with Relay for Life eight years ago, spearheading a team from Midway High School, the Oak Harbor School District’s alternative high school program, where she teaches English. This is her first year handling the event chair post alone, as she served as co-chair with Karla Sharkey last year. “I think the thing that

brings me back every year is the kids’ participation,” Reuble said. “This is something that they feel very good about participating in. The more involved I get, the move involved they get to be.” Mary Brock said she and her husband’s involvement in Relay for Life is a passion. They have busy lives. Both are retired from the Navy but still work for separate contractors that serve VAQ-129 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Mary is a programs analyst, while Kelly works

on intricate aircraft systems, including safety devices. Still, there is room for Relay for Life. “It is something I will never tire of,” Mary Brock said. The Brocks take pride in their participation. Mary Brock said she was told by a representative from the American Cancer Society that Whidbey has the best attendance at rally meetings of any other Relay for Life group north of Everett.

“The American Cancer Society is using us as a model,” she said. Those efforts led to 75 teams and $158,499 raised at the 2013 event. The goals this year are to sign up 83 teams and shoot for $175,000.

ed on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor, is honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday with a celebration scheduled to start at 3 p.m. Pastor Fannie Dean said the theme of Sunday’s celebration is “let us move on,” and it will include lots of singing, dancing, eating, laughing, joy and peace.

Jessica Vester, a 12-year -old middle school student, will read one of King’s sermons titled “Love Your Enemies.” “We should still treat them as everybody else,” Vester said during a rehearsal Thursday. More than a dozen people spent their Thursday

evening rehearsing and practicing songs and dances in preparation of the celebration. Mission Ministr y Outreach is located at 1751 Goldie Road D1, in Oak Harbor. For more information, go to www.fanniedean. com

At the rally Wednesday night, the top 10 teams that raised the most money were recognized. The top team was IDEX Health & Science of Oak Harbor, which raised $22,089. It seemed fitting that Mary Brock was there to hand out certificates and give hugs. Although she stands an inch shy of 5 feet, she is one of Whidbey group’s biggest cheerlead-

ers, even with her tiny voice. The Brocks also are known for their big hearts. They have four dogs at home, including three Chihuahuas — Paco, Lola and BubbaT. Lola and Sage, a Golden Retriever, were rescued from dog shelters. Reuble said the Brocks purchased the large purple tent that was located on the stage at the Relay for Life event last year.

“They have no expectation of being paid back,” Reuble said. “They put their money where their mouth is. They’re so supportive of cancer survivors and caregivers. Kelly is the first one to give people a hug. Mary bounces with energy and enthusiasm and she makes people feel good. That is utterly vital when you’re talking about something like cancer.”

PANHANDLING

NAS GROWTH

CONTINUED FROM A1

CONTINUED FROM A1 transitions and the economic impacts NAS Whidbey Island has on the local community. Nortier, who said he has never been stationed at the same base twice, said he’s never seen community support like he has here in Oak Harbor. “The military appreciation picnic is a highlight,” Nortier said. “As I said, out of all the bases I’ve been I don’t recall a community holding a military appreciation picnic.” Nortier said the community support has been appreciated as the base has faced budget cuts and sequestration. NAS Whidbey personnel completed 17 search and rescue operations in 2013, providing the Navy with a way to give back to the community and also keep their skills sharp, Nortier said. Moving forward the base anticipates continued reductions to base operations and maintenance funding. However, the military population is projected to increase by 25 percent 2015-2018. “We are working with key players, county, cities, schools to ensure this projected growth is understood,” Nortier said. With the arrival of several P-8A squadrons starting in 2016, the base’s current population of 6,900 active duty residents is expected to climb to roughly 9,000. While the Environmental Impact Statement process for the P-8As is still in progress, the Navy expects to hear by May whether or not they will have six or seven total squadrons assigned to the base. He added that on-base housing and barracks will not be expanded so the additional personnel and their fami-

Page A15

lies will be renting or owning in the community. As a result of the additional aircraft and personnel expected in the coming years, the base has plans for facility additions and upgrades starting as soon as this year in anticipation of the growth, Nortier said. NAS Whidbey’s current economic impact on the community is estimated at more than $1 billion, comprising $833 million in total payroll, $108 million in contracted facilities and projects, $120 million for capital projects, $18 million in medical payments and $6 million in education. The base also expects to receive two additional EA-18G Growler expeditionary squadrons in 2016, but that EIS process will ultimately determine the basing for that aircraft. NAS Whidbey currently has three Growler squadrons. Nortier said the addition of two squadrons is a result of a “demand” for additional electronic attack capabilities when working with the other branches of the military. Nortier said the Navy will continue to gather public input about the Growlers through Jan. 31, as the deadline was recently extended. He said while he’s “not going to be able to make everyone happy,” it is his hope that the community and the Navy can come up with a livable compromise. The number of annual complaints made to the Navy about jet noise has climbed up to 676 in 2013, Nortier said, but the number of callers has stayed relatively static, showing that the same number of people are making more complaints.

is ever aggressive about asking strangers for cash. He said he’s concerned about any rules that could make it difficult for his fellow panhandlers to feed themselves. “I’m worried about Ray and other people. They depend on it,” he said, describing “Ray” as a former mailman who became homeless after an injury. Yet Chief Ed Green with the Oak Harbor Police Department said there’s no reason for the average panhandler to be concerned about the proposed rules, though the city may also place anti-panhandling signs in key places around town. The proposed ordinance, he said, is aimed at aggressive panhandling. He admits that hasn’t been a problem in the city and that the police probably have only received a couple of complaints. But he said he wanted to “get ahead of the curve” and create proactive rules because of the increase in panhandling, as well as the experiences in other communities. The proposed ordinance would make it a misdemeanor to obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic or to aggressively panhandle, which is defined as begging “with the intent to intimidate or coerce another person into giving money or goods,” he said. “You have a right to feel safe and you have the right to ask people for money,” he said. According to Green, the proposed

Green said the ordinance won’t affect the panhandlers who stand with a sign at the busy entrance to Safeway. “To just stand there and hold a sign isn’t a problem,” he said. The chief said city officials are also considering signs meant to dissuade the practice. The proposed signs would say, “Keep the change. Don’t support panhandling. Give to a local charity.” Green said the department’s community service officers will work with city engineers and public works staff to identify the best places for the signs, the council gives them the go-ahead. “They won’t be placed arbitrarily,” he said. “We don’t want to create sign

pollution and blanket the city.” As for Pangburn, he said folks don’t seem bothered by his panhandling. Wednesday, Oak Harbor resident Robert Brothers walked up and gave Pangburn packages of prepared food and a hug. “I can’t do it all, but I can make a difference,” Brothers said. “I can give them some hope.” Pangburn said the food and money he gets from panhandling is especially important to him in the winter, when it’s most difficult to pick up small jobs. He doesn’t have a home, but usually camps in woods on Libbey Road or at Deception Pass. He said there’s also a broken-down van north of town where he can crash. “I’ve got my summer home and my winter home,” he said with a laugh.

SEX OFFENDERS CONTINUED FROM A1 Thursday, Jan. 23 at the Heller Road Fire Station. Sheriff Mark Brown, an official from the Department of Corrections and other law enforcement officers will discuss the high-risk sex offender and other issues. The Level 3 sex offender, 34-year-old Daniel M. Christianson, is a convicted rapist with a history of failing to report to his community corrections officer,

during a drug deal in a motel room. Christianson and one of the accomplices raped the woman, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The Level 2 sex offender, 41-year-old Jason W. Brown, was convicted of indecent liberties in Island County in 2012. He provided a 13-year-old girl with beer and marijuana, then sexually assaulted her, the sheriff’s office reported.

officials are working to find housing for Christianson somewhere in the state, but haven’t had any luck so far. “Anything I can do to make that happen, I will do,” he said. Christianson was convicted of second-degree rape and second-degree attempted robbery in Snohomish County in 2001. Christianson and two male accomplices forced a man and a woman to strip

according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. Brown said Christianson is being released from prison and has no place to live. Because of his homeless status, state law dictates that he has to live in the county where he committed his first felony offense. Christianson’s first felony was on Camano Island, Brown said. Brown said he and Department of Corrections
