Seahawks fans get moment they’ve waited for
Woman accused of tattooing man by force By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
School District, Gibbon couldn’t just bolt out the front door with a football under his arm, but savored the moment nonetheless. Like so many others from his generation and older, he could fully appreciate what such an accomplishment meant. He’s one of the Seahawk lifers — a fan since the franchise’s NFL birth in 1976 — a time before blue 12th-man flags flew so freely. “I’ve been watching the Seahawks since 1976,” said Gibbon, 45, who grew up in Edmonds. “When I was a kid, I remember them playing in the Kingdome. We stuck through all the Jim Zorn and Dave Krieg years and all that.”
“I remember when the Broncos were our rival. I remember John Elway playing. I loved all that stuff growing up.” Gibbon still does, but he’s not going to get carried away. A parade is scheduled for 11 a.m. today through downtown Seattle to celebrate the Seahawks’ first Super Bowl title, and Gibbon said he is taking no special measures to accommodate in Oak Harbor. “School is still on,” he said. Scott Dudley, Oak Harbor’s mayor, is another prominent figure in the Oak Harbor commu-
Bowl champion” T-shirts Tuesday morning and Walmart was supposed to receive its first shipment of items by Tuesday afternoon. Albertsons, which has an entire section of its store devoted to a Seahawks “Team Shop,” is planning for a big shipment of merchandise today and should have items out for sale by noon. “I don’t have any plans of ending it at this point,” Albertsons store manager Clint Brock said of the store’s Seahawks Team Shop. Albertsons will carry NFL-licensed T-shirts,
sweatshirts, hats and other items branded with Seattle’s accomplishment. “It’s incredibly exciting as a fan and even as a business leader,” Brock said. “It’s really good for the community.” Donna Wanless, manager at Big 5, said that official Super Bowl Seahawks jerseys are expected to arrive next week. “They’ll have ‘Super Bowl champions’ on them,” she said.
While he’s a victim of a violent crime, Matthew Reimer said he can see the humor in what happened to him, though his friends are apoplectic. But mostly, he said, he sees the bizarre incident as a “wake up call” that it’s time to leave the drug scene behind. Reimer claims that Ashley E. Firth, a 33-year-old Oak Harbor woman, tattooed him against his will after forcing him to hand over his wallet inside a travel trailer on Crosby Avenue Jan. 11. Firth goes by the street name “Dibo,” according to Oak Harbor police. She allegedly tattooed the words “punkbitch—dibo” on his shoulder. Jennifer Yzaguirre, community service officer for the Oak Harbor police, said she’s “99 percent certain” that this is the department’s first case of alleged tattooing by force. Prosecutors charged Firth in Island County Superior Court Jan. 22 with robbery in the second degree, assault in the third degree and violation of a court order. She pleaded not guilty. “It goes to show how bad the drug scene has gotten in Oak Harbor,” Reimer said. Officer Jon Valenzuela investigated the case after Reimer reported it the day after receiving the nonconsensual inking.

The last time the Pacific Northwest felt a rumble of this magnitude on the sports landscape, Lance Gibbon nearly lost his bearings. It was June 1, 1979, and Gibbon had just watched the Seattle SuperSonics wrap up the NBA championship on television. He was so excited he sprinted outdoors with his basketball. He was 10. “I don’t know what I was going to do with it,” he said. “I was just excited about the Sonics winning.” Thirty-five years later, Gibbon celebrated the region’s next major sports championship with a little more restraint. He watched with his family at their home in Oak Harbor Sunday as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos, 43-8, for their first Super Bowl title. Now the superintendent of the Oak Harbor

ISLAND DIGEST Children’s theater Darting animal hosts hundreds prompts crash
Police chief gets an extension
Port cameras go Students learn live in three areas among the trees
n The Whidbey Children’s Theater filled to capacity last week with around 500 students from various schools on South Whidbey Island. They watched scenes from “Disney’s 101 Dalmations” during a dress rehearsal. They were also able to question the cast and director Lisa Nakama. The field trip is a collaboration between the children’s theater and the South Whidbey School District.
n The Langley City Council approved extending Acting Police Chief Dave Marks’ contract while leaders continue searching for a permanent replacement. Marks was appointed to interim spot in August and his contract was scheduled to expire Aug. 15. His extension comes at a time when officials are considering how many officers to employ.
n Videos from three cameras at the Port of South Whidbey that went live last month can be viewed at www.portofsouthwhid bey.com. The videos come from cameras located at the South Whidbey Harbor, Bush Point and Possession Beach. The website refreshes every five seconds. Officials approved the project in 2013 and was funded by a $65,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
n In an attempt to avoid an animal, a FedEx delivery driver veered off Ewing Road in Clinton and crashed into a power pole last week. The driver wasn’t injured, but the crash knocked out one of the truck’s front windows and cracked the windshield. The truck almost snapped the 45-foot-tall power pole in two and a live power line draped over the truck.

Island home prices on mend n After a four-year slump, home values on Whidbey Island are showing signs of recovery. The median cost of a single-family home rose to $255,000 in 2013, which is up from $250,000 in 2012 and $249,900 in 2011. While the 2013 increase represents a 2 percent jump, economists see it as good news.

Red Cross changes tack Manager hired for up to
$750K on hospital project
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
For Whidbey Island Red Cross volunteers, it’s not a question of “if,” it’s a question of “when” a disaster will occur. Staying prepared is a top priority. Recently, seven volunteers from the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross helped staff an emergency shelter in Everett opened Dec. 15. A large apartment fire in downtown Everett that day took one person’s life and left 20 others in need of temporary housing. An additional volunteer provided all the financial tracking for the shelter from his Friday Harbor office. Snohomish County Red Cross volunteers opened the shelter at Central Lutheran Church in Everett, and staffed it around the clock with help from other chapters in the region. Volunteers serve as shelter operators, cooks, caseworkers and case managers, nurses and mental health counselors. “We were happy to help out,” said Ron Conlin, disaster services coordinator for Islands Chapter. “Snohomish County volunteers had responded to 12 incidents in 12 days, and they needed relief. We were able to send people from South and North Whidbey and the San Juans.” While responding to fires and other minor disasters are routine for the Red Cross, the face of the organization is changing as they learn through hard experience, namely, Hurricane Katrina. “That was the first time the Red Cross has operated in disaster mode for that long … more than a year,” Conlin said. “There were lessons learned from Katrina and everything that went wrong. There were things we never expected to deal with — like sheltering for pets. People died because they wouldn’t abandon their pets.” As a result of those hard lessons learned, Conlin said the Red Cross went

In addition to providing much-needed, short-term shelter and food to disaster victims, the Red Cross also served the firefighters, providing food and water during fire or flood assistance. Out of 131 volunteers that comprise the Islands Chapter, roughly 50 reside on Whidbey Island. This includes 21 licensed registered nurses and psychologist prepared to help with medical and mental health needs. Unlike other chapters around Washington and the country, the Islands Chapter faces some unusual obstacles. “Our chapter is unique and geographically challenging due to the mix of land and water,” Conlin said. “It’s important for us to be training our people and the general population.” The group faced a rash of pre-Christmas fires, which is relatively standard given the increased use of lights and space heaters. The chapter had 30 disaster calls for the month of December. Conlin said last year was pretty hard on the Red Cross but that was partially because they are gaining a higher profile in the area, working with more local fire departments to be on their first call list. Whidbey volunteers have deployed all over the coun-
try for emergency assistance, including Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast and flooding in Colorado. The Red Cross mainly focuses on immediate short term aid and works with other agencies like Catholic Charities for longer term needs. In addition, the Washington chapters have unveiled a new program entitled “Safe in the Sound” which aims to prepare atrisk areas for earthquakes and tsunamis, teaching residents basic first aid and how to “shelter in place,” Conlin said. Safe in the Sound aims to individuals and communities throughout the Puget Sound region and coastal communities build their capacity to withstand, quickly adapt to and successfully recover from disasters, Conlin said. For information or to volunteer visit www.safeinthesound.org or www.redcross. org.
Whidbey General Hospital’s expansion has taken a step forward. The hospital’s board of commissioners approved an agreement in January with Marc Estvold to manage the project. Voters approved a $50-million bond in November. Estvold, who is based in Anacortes, recently managed expansion projects for Island Hospital and the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance. He will work for Whidbey General Hospital on a contract basis. The contract with Estvold will cap at $750,000 for the project, estimated to be completed in 2016. In an email, Whidbey General Hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose said that Estvold will be working on an hourly basis with the cap based on the multi-year life of the project. “This is typical in healthcare construction for someone with his expertise who is managing a project of this size and complexity,” Rose wrote in the email. She added that his references indicate Estvold has delivered high-quality results on time and on budget. Prior to being brought on
board the Whidbey General Hospital expansion project, Estvold oversaw several projects for Island Hospital, including construction of a 31-bed patient wing that cost $40 million; a $10 million addition for physical therapy, wound care and oncology; and several other smaller additions for other hospital departments. Estvold also managed an $18-million project for the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance and he is currently managing construction of a $60-million jail in Skagit County. In November, Whidbey Island voters approved the expansion project bond with more than 60 percent in favor of the expansion. A supermajority was required for passage. The funding will pay for construction of a new wing that will be located on the south end of the hospital’s Coupeville campus. The new wing will include single-patient rooms along with extra space that officials hope will meet the hospital’s future needs. In addition, plans call for trans-

forming the current patient rooms to clinic space and installing a new parking lot to make up for the one lost through the expansion. With the project manager hired, hospital officials will start developing a requestfor-proposals to hire an architect to design the new building. Rose said in the email that the firm hired for the work will examine the hospital’s master site plan and make changes to where it meets current codes and standards. The architect will work with the employees in the affected departments to help design the new wing. Hospital staff will also have a site survey completed to establish property corners and Estvold will establish a project timeline. Rose said a preliminary estimate indicates the new wing will be completed sometime in the fall of 2016.

New clinic offers immediate, primary care By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Ever sliced your finger with a rusty bread knife? Ever had a migraine headache that makes you want to claw your eyes out? Or coughed up stuff that looks like neon-colored Play-Doh? North Whidbey residents suffering such ailments now have options that go beyond hoping their family physician can squeeze them in at the last minute, or traveling to the emergency room at Whidbey General Hospital. North Island Medical opened its doors a couple of months ago and expanded its hours this week to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The clinic offers something that has been sorely needed on North Whidbey — immediate care for everyone, not just established patients. It’s what often is called a walk-in clinic, though Dr. Dan Fisher, one of the partners, said they prefer the

They can clean and stitch wounds, administer IVs, lance festering boils, prescribe antibiotics and more. Exceptions, he said,
include anything life threatening, broken bones and eye or teeth problems. The clinic’s three doctors and two physician’s assistants are also recruiting patients who are looking for primary care doctors. The new offices, with eight exam rooms and a procedure

&
room, is located behind the new Island Drug store on State Highway 20. The doctors, the three partners, are retired Navy commanders who were stationed on Whidbey Island at some point in their careers, according to Kelly Wrightson, clinic manager. Fisher is an unusually lively internist with remarkably loyal patients, said Wrightson. Many patients
from his popular practice in Coupeville followed him to the new office. Other patients came from as far away as Bellingham and Hawaii. Fisher credits his popularity among patients with his personal approach to patient care. As an independent owner of an independent clinic, Fisher said he is able to put his patients’ needs ahead of the bottom line. “Patients come in different flavors and colors and shapes and you need to spend time with them,” he said. “There’s no such thing as a 12-minute patient.” Dr. Mark Duncan is a family physician who provided care for military families throughout the world until retiring in 2012. Dr. David Lemme is an osteopathic physician who provides care for patients of all ages. Lemme is an advocate of the holistic approach to medicine and strives to provide “a balance perspective to the use of alternative and complementary medicine.” North Island Medical can be reached at 360-682-5444.
State sees increase in taxable sales n An increase in business and consumer spending boosted the state’s taxable retail sales by 7.6 percent for the third quarter of 2013, according to the Washington State Department of Revenue’s quarterly analysis. Taxable retail sales between July 1 and Sept. 30, 2013 reached $31 billion — a $2.2 billion increase over the same period in 2012. The City of Oak Harbor also experienced growth in taxable retail sales, but at a more modest level of 4.3 percent for the third quarter. Island County saw a giant boost of 11.3 percent in the same quarter. The Town of Coupeville, however, saw a decline of 0.5 percent. Statewide, the increase in taxable retail sales was driven by auto sales and new construction, according to Revenue Director Carol Nelson. “This increase in spending shows that consumer confidence in Washington continues to improve and is at its highest level since the Great Recession,” she said. Third quarter retail trade purchases increased by 5.4 percent over the same time the year before.

12TH MAN CONTINUED FROM A1 nity who has cheered for the Seahawks since the franchise’s beginning. Dudley, who grew up in Olympia, said he can remember a franchise that was immediately competitive from the get-go with Zorn, Steve Largent, Dave Brown and other Seahawks legends. In Seattle’s first-ever regular season NFL game in 1976 in the Kingdome, Zorn engineered a comeback that ended near the goal line in a 30-24 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Immediately, a love affair between a region and its football team was born. The Seahawks would go 9-7 in their third season, getting national attention for whacky plays, and get within a victory of the Super Bowl in 1983 during a time when Curt Warner made headlines long before another fellow named Kurt Warner did. Dudley has seen the ups and downs, from the lows of owner Ken Behring nearly moving the franchise to sunny Southern California in 1996 to the highs of Paul Allen rescuing it and starting the process of building a Super Bowl contender. In East Rutherford, N.J., Sunday, Dudley soaked in the highest of highs as he sat in the third level of MetLife Stadium and watched the Seahawks make history by

Super Bowl wager benefits Help House Deep down, Jean Wieman is a Green Bay Packers fan. Some of her fondest memories growing up in Sparta, Wis., were watching Packers games with her dad on Sundays. Wieman’s heart, however, is warming to the Seattle Seahawks, especially the team’s 12th man followers. She is grateful to the Seahawks for winning the Super Bowl, because that will give the North Whidbey Help House a needed boost.
A challenge between the chambers of commerce for Oak Harbor and Parker, Colo., led to a winner-takeall fundraiser between the two towns. Because the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos, 43-8, in the Super Bowl, Oak Harbor’s local food bank will be the recipient of all proceeds from fundraisers held in Oak Harbor and Parker. Although the amount raised in Parker has yet to be reported, raffle ticket sales in Oak Harbor net-
ted $1,300 for the North Whidbey Help House. Nearly $4,000 worth of items were donated by local businesses and the community for prizes to help the cause. Winners were drawn at a 12th man rally held at Oak Harbor High School’s Wildcat Memorial Stadium attended by about 200 people. Wieman, the North Whidbey Help House’s executive director, attended the event and was grateful for the community’s sup-
port. She even was dressed in a Seahawks shirt, however, it was worn over a Packers Super Bowl T-shirt and Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt, her first two favorites. “It was fun,” she said. And important, she added, to help the food bank. “Last year, in 2013, we had a 23 percent drop in cash donations for the year,” Wieman said. “This will go a long ways to help make up for that and start our year off right.”
Passengers traveling on the Washington State Ferries this past weekend boarded vessels that were renamed in honor of the Seattle Seahawks. The tribute was directed by Gov. Jay Inslee. “We couldn’t be more proud of our Seahawks as they represent our state in the Super Bowl,” Inslee said in a news release. “We’ve already raised the 12th Man flag on each ferry, and this honorary name change is one more way for us to show our appreciation. For people used to sailing the Kennewick from Keystone Harbor, it was known Sunday as the M/V James Carpenter. For riders
on the Mukilteo-to-Clinton route, the Cathlamet was known as the M/V Malcolm Smith and the Kittitas was known as the M/V Tony McDaniel. “Although the name change is symbolic, we think it is a fun way to show our support and give fans a chance to cheer on the Hawks before they pull into port,”said Assistant Transportation Secretary David Moseley in a press release. The Washington State Department of Transportation recognizes the Seahawks achieved success this season by working as a team. Ferries were temporarily
renamed as follows: M/V Cathlamet: “M/V Malcom Smith” M/V Chelan: “M/V Zach Miller” M/V Chetzemoka: “M/V J.R. Sweezy” M/V Elwha: “M/V Chris Clemens” M/V Evergreen State: “M/V Byron Maxwell” M/V Hiyu: “M/V Breno Giacomini” M/V Hyak: “M/V Kam Chancellor” M/V Issaquah: “M/V Russell Okung” M/V Kaleetan: “M/V Doug Baldwin” M/V Kennewick: “M/V James Carpenter” M/V Kitsap: “M/V Bobby Wagner”
M/V Kittitas: “M/V Tony McDaniel” M/V Klahowya: “M/V Bruce Irvin” M/V Puyallup: “M/V Marshawn Lynch” M/V Salish: “M/V Max Unger” M/V Sealth: “M/V Brandon Mebane” M/V Spokane: “M/V Golden Tate” M/V Tacoma: “M/V Russell Wilson” M/V Tillikum: “M/V Michael Robinson” M/V WallaWalla: “M/V Earl Thomas” M/V Wenatchee: “M/V Richard Sherman” M/V Yakima: “M/V Red Bryant”

dismantling the Broncos. “It was phenomenal,” Dudley said. “I’m so glad I went. I came to find out I wasn’t the only Seahawk fan in New York. The 12th man showed up loud and proud.” Dudley formally proposed Tuesday night before the Oak Harbor City Council that today, Feb. 5, 2014, be proclaimed “Seahawks Day in Oak Harbor.” The idea is to encourage the community to dress in Seahawks attire today to celebrate the team’s Super Bowl title. Dudley’s trip to New Jersey kept him from the Oak Harbor 12th man rally last week at Oak Harbor High School that drew about 200 fans and raised $1,300 for the North Whidbey Help House. Mike Kennefick, 77, of Oak Harbor attended the rally and continued to root for the Seahawks into the weekend. He’s not sure when he’ll stop. A retired City of Bellevue employee, Kennefick has been a fan since day one and remembers the days of driving by the team’s former practice facilities in Kirkland to peek at the action. Kennefick said he was elated by Sunday’s result. “I think the whole world just lit up and it’s Christmas all over again.”

BUSINESS CONTINUED FROM A1 The impact of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run has been big on some local businesses. Employees at the Whidbey Party Store in Oak Harbor could finally catch their breath after gearing up for Sunday’s Super Bowl, said store owner Robyn Kolaitis. “I could say compared to last year, we did in 10 days what we did in the entire month of January,” Kolaitis
said, referring to the impact of the Super Bowl on her business. Her store sold about 200 12th man flags and went through nearly all of its blue and green balloons. “It was so much fun,” Kolaitis said. “We were swamped. “This was excellent for bringing people into the store who hadn’t been to the store before.”
posed the idea after attending the Seahawks’ 43-8 victory over Denver Sunday in New Jersey. The idea is for the community to show off its Seahawks spirit.

Seahawks provided us all a moment in time to truly savor PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
The past few weeks have been pure electric on Whidbey Island and throughout Washington state. The excitement and energy that mounted with the Seattle Seahawks’ ascension to the Super Bowl has provided us all with an experience to savor. And the fact that it has been a boost for some local businesses is the icing on the blue-and-green cake, so to speak. For me, it’s been great to get caught up in the swell of something overwhelmingly positive, and to see people coming together to have fun and celebrate the success of a great football team. The Seahawks’ trip to the Super Bowl this time felt different than the last venture. From the moment of their comeback during the playoff game against the 49ers, it felt like the stars had aligned to finally given the team and the 12th Man their time to shine. Going to the Seahawks’ game against the 49ers was an amazing experience — possibly a once-ina-lifetime. I had been to the Kingdome for games many years ago, but hadn’t had the opportunity to go to CenturyLink Field. Where the Kingdome was a cold, gray cement maze of ramps and a hazard with its falling ceiling tiles, CenturyLink Field is a stunning example of a well-designed sports arena. From the moment you walk up the steps, you are enveloped by the buzz of the crowd. If there was any part of me that still missed the Kingdome — and I suspect there was — it all evaporated on that cool Sunday evening. As the decibal levels began to rise and the floor beneath me shook, I realized that, for one brief moment in time, all of us in that arena were witnessing a moment in sports history. And as the game progressed, that one 49er fan who sat a few rows in front of ours wasn’t taunting the crowd behind him anymore. Like the Super Bowl victory itself, that was also a moment to take in and enjoy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Politics
Politician benefits outweigh their service Editor, Our highest politicians receive full pay and many other benefits for life after just one short term in office. So should those working in the redlight districts for an equally short time receive the same benefits for their services provided? After all, don’t they provide a very similar service to the public? After all theirs is optional, the former is mandatory. Matt Burns Oak Harbor
Funny
See a raccoon? Rabbit? Be sure to report it to 911 Editor, Concerned citizens of Whidbey Island, I think we may have an issue on our collective hands. I was reading — with delight as always — the
Whidbey News-Times “Island Scanner” and came upon two very, very disconcerting issues. It appears that someone reported, “… seeing a raccoon running in the area of Southwest Eighth Avenue.” Taken aback, I immediately locked my doors and windows and informed my children that school may be canceled the next day, and that, even if it wasn’t, I would not be letting them go to school. Asked why, I told them that there was a raccoon outside. They called me crazy, but who is laughing now? Because if a raccoon running around wasn’t crazy enough, I noticed that someone had witnessed, and reported mind you, that “… a rabbit appears to have been hit by a vehicle.” I hardly slept that night knowing that there were raccoons running wild and cars running over rabbits. I love Whidbey Island, but I’m concerned for my and my children’s safety. Folks, if you see a raccoon or rabbit, be careful and call 9-1-1. That’s what they are there for. Do not, under any circumstance, approach the raccoon or rabbit, no matter how fluffy or floppy-eared they look.

Theorizing COER wants a government buyout Editor, Well after some of the lies have been exposed, it appears Citizens for Ebey’s Reserve’s true intent is finally revealed — to close Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and plunge this community into economic chaos. I don’t know if they have a clue about how a military installation works, but you just can’t pick up however many squadrons of EA-18G’s there are and move them. The infrastructure alone would cost millions. So, if the intent is not to close the base, I am going to offer another theory — they want the government to buy them out. I urge all concerned residents to contact their representative’s in Washington, D.C. and Olympia and let them know that this minority of people are not an example of how the majority feel. I do and I hope you will. Mike Van Voorst Oak Harbor

It’s irresponsible to keep borrowing more money GUEST COLUMN
By DON BRUNELL
An enterprising Associated Press reporter put the cost of the recent $1.1 trillion federal spending bill in perspective. At 370,445 words long, it works out to just under $3 million per word – and it funds government operations only through September. Congress begins a debate on increasing the debt ceiling again this month. The amount of money the federal government spends – some say overspends – is so enormous, so massive that the average person simply cannot relate. We have no personal experience with numbers that large. This tax season, H&R Block is airing an ad campaign that puts large amounts of money in perspective. The ad says American taxpayers who don’t use a tax preparer miss out on $1 billion dollars in unclaimed refunds. To illustrate how much $1 billion is, one ad features 36 huge pallets of money stacked on the deck of an aircraft carrier. As the announcer talks about unclaimed refunds, a bulldozer pushes the pallets of money into the sea. Another version shows a man placing stacks of cash on the seats of a massive football stadium. The announcer explains that $1 billion is enough money to put $500 on every seat of every professional football stadium in the nation. “This is your money,” the ad intones. “Get your billion back, America.” Sadly, that $1 billion is peanuts compared to what our government spends. The money in this most recent spending bill would pile more than $500,000 in cash on each of those stadium seats. Our $17 trillion national debt would pile $8.55 million in every seat of every football stadium in the nation. If we started paying off our $17 trillion credit card debt today, peeling off $1 every second, it would take more than half a million years to pay it off. And the debt grows by $2.54 billion each day. Actually, we’re on the hook for more than
that. Much more. The U.S. government has amassed $127.5 trillion in unfunded liabilities – obligations for Medicare, the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security, military and civil servant pensions that we haven’t budgeted for. Your individual share? More than $1.1 million. Despite this, the spending continues unabated. It’s as if the revelers on the Titanic knew they were headed for an iceberg, but rather than change course, they just ordered more champagne. We wouldn’t behave that way in our personal lives. Why are we allowing our government to behave that way? Imagine if your brother-in-law borrowed money from you because he was falling behind in his bills. But rather than pay his bills, he spent even more. When he comes to you again, you refuse, citing his profligate spending. “But my children will starve,” he pleads. “I promise I’ll do better.” So, you lend him more money to pay off his credit cards. Instead, he gets new credit cards and runs up more bills. When he comes to you again he warns, “If you don’t raise my credit card limit, my children will starve.” That’s pretty much how the President and Congress behave these days. We have a debt ceiling in this country – our national credit card limit, if you will. Each year, we spend more than we take in. In order to continue overspending, we must raise the debt ceiling – raise our credit card limit. Those who suggest that we instead live within our means are shouted down and accused of pushing our nation into default. So, we borrow more money – and we continue spending more than we take in. It’s irresponsible when our brother-in-law does it, and it’s irresponsible when the President and Congress do it. But in the end, because we allow it, it’s our fault. And it’s our money. n Don Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes
PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only
28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502. Now at select

Man jailed for throwing kitten By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 35-year-old Oak Harbor man is facing charges after allegedly choking a woman and throwing her kitten across a parking lot, court documents state. Carl J. Phillips, Jr. pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court Jan. 2 to assault in the second degree and animal cruelty in the second degree. Oak Harbor Police Officer Ronald Esparza investigated the case after responding to a report of possible domestic violence at 4 a.m. on Dec. 29, 2013, at a Northwest
Crosby Avenue apartment complex. The victim’s neighbor called 911 after hearing screaming. Esparza wrote that the victim had a bloody lip and marks on her neck. The woman said that she was sleeping when Phillips came home from a bar and started yelling at her. He head-butted her and choked her until she couldn’t breath; she was able to get away by hitting him in the groin, according to Esparza’s report. Phillips followed the woman as she left the apartment and said, “Here’s your cat.” “She turned around as
Carl was throwing her 12-week-old cat like a baseball into the parking lot,” Esparza wrote. The officer wrote that the kitten was thrown about 30 feet; it was bleeding from the nose and had a cut on the top of its head, the report states. Phillips told the officer that he had been at the bar watching Ultimate Fighter with friends earlier in the night. He denied committing the assault and said he had been asleep for hours. If convicted of the charges, Phillips could face from three to nine months under the standard sentencing range.
TATTOOED CONTINUED FROM A1 Reimer said he borrowed a van from friends — a man and a woman — and brought it back five hours later to the residence. The two owners were upset and questioned him about how long he had been gone. Firth entered the trailer about 10 minutes later and demanded that Reimer empty his pockets. Reimer complied, later claiming he thought he would get beat up if he didn’t. “He said that Firth has a reputation for using various weapons on people and hurting them,” the officer wrote in his report. Firth and her friend, Richard Borgeson, 33, allegedly took his cell phone and a credit card from his wallet, the report states. Firth and Burgeon forced Reimer to get on his knees and apologize for keeping the vehicle so long. While he was on the floor, they decided to tattoo him. Firth bent over to look him in the eyes and dropped a handgun in front of him. Reimer felt that she did it on purpose to threaten him, the report states. Firth asked him to pick a spot for the tattoo and he chose his left shoulder. She
tattooed the words on him with black ink. Reimer told the News-Times that he allowed Firth, an amateur tattoo artist, to write the words on his because he felt threatened by her and the three other people in the home. “There was four of them,” he said. “I wasn’t going to take a risk.” Afterward, Firth slapped him and told him he could either help rob someone or get “socked up,” which means to get “assaulted very bad,” the report states. Reimer said he agreed to help her with a robbery, but he and Firth “were unable to catch up to the person they were going to rob,” Valenzuela wrote. Firth later admitted to giving Reimer the tattoo, but said it was something he wanted to do because he felt bad about keeping the van for so long, the officer wrote. If convicted of the charges against her, Firth could face up to 14 months in prison under the standard sentencing range. While Reimer carries the evidence of the alleged assault on his shoulder, he’s getting it removed Friday.

OBITUARIES

Marie Joan Frank
Marie Joan Frank was born Marie Joan Hazen on Oct.4, 1933 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She died Feb. 1, 2014 in Coupeville, Wash. after a long period of poor health. A 1956 graduate of The Edmonton General Hospital School of Nursing in Edmonton, Alberta, Marie began a career as a Registered Nurse in Sedro Woolley, Wash. Later, while on vacation in Europe, traveling with her father, she decided to stay abroad and became a governess in Paris, working first for a French family then for a world famous American concert solo violinist, caring for the family children and touring Europe with them. Returning to the United States, she remained with the family for several years in New York City. St. Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village was Marie’s next nursing job until she moved to Florida in 1971. While in New York, Marie developed an interest in aviation which she never lost. After learning to fly, she earned a commercial pilot’s license in 1969 at Teterboro, N.J.; she then added an instrument rating in 1972 after moving to Florida. It was while flying out of the little country airport at Leesburg, Florida while working toward her instrument qualification that she met and married her husband, Benjamin “Wes” Frank Jr., who worked at the flight center there and was also a pilot. Marie was a member of the Grasshoppers Women’s Pilot Club of Florida and also

The Ninety-Nines, a national women’s pilot club of which Amelia Earhart had been a founding member. Marie flew to many club events all over Florida, finding it interesting, adventuresome, and a great way to log flight hours and see the many sights in that state. Marie and Wes flew many memorable flights together, and continued this interest after moving to Oak Harbor, Washington in 1973. Wes reentered the Navy and received orders to the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. They were both members of the Whidbey Island Navy Flying Club. Marie worked as an RN at Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville. Enjoying the Northwest experience and being close to relatives in British Columbia and northwest Washington, she was able to re-establish and maintain connections with her extended family members, aunts, uncles and cousins. Recreational flying was placed on hold when they moved to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1978. “Gitmo” became one of Marie’s favourite duty stations, because in 1978 it was a real Navy base, complete with ships and airplanes, and was “small town U.S.A.” with a great family atmosphere. Nursing at the base hospital was not possible because of her Canadian status, but she found meaningful related employment at the base’s milk plant as quality tester, growing cultures in the laboratory. An active R&R program in Gitmo allowed Marie and Wes off-duty travel to many locations throughout the Caribbean including Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Haiti. After returning to the U.S., Wes’s assignment was the South Weymouth Naval Air Station, located between Boston and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Marie became a member of the South Shore Registered Nurses Association and was employed as a private duty nurse, a job which gave her many interesting and rewarding experiences. Marie’s next great adventure occurred when Wes, by then retired from active Naval service and employed as a Navy civilian, was transferred
to Cornwall, England. She quickly settled into British life and three and a half years there were filled with discovery and great satisfaction. She participated in very rewarding volunteer work with Age Concern, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of the elderly. But all too soon, as with most overseas assignments, it was over and a return to the U.S. was necessary; however, this time the disappointment was eased by the fact that they had been transferred back to Whidbey Island, Wash. It was a great homecoming, but after a couple of years, again duty called, and the couple found themselves transferred back to the east coast, with Portsmouth, Virginia and Odenton, Maryland becoming home for the last ten years before Wes’s retirement from government service. Finally retired, they moved back to Whidbey Island in 2010, where they lived and enjoyed all of the beauty and advantages of life in the great Pacific Northwest. Marie is survived by her husband of forty-one years, numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews in Washington, British Columbia and other parts of Canada, and by many good friends. She was always a proud and patriotic Canadian, tracing her ancestry to Sir Charles Tupper, one of the Canadian “Fathers of Confederation.” She was a member of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Oak Harbor, Washington. She was preceded in death by her father Charles Tupper Hazen, her mother Jean Mary (Lequiea) Hazen and her brother Douglas Lorne Hazen, all of Canada. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7, 2014 at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oak Harbor with Rev. Paul Pluth officiating. Viewing will be held 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 6 at Wallin Funeral Home and also 9-10 a.m. at the church. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall.

Brothers, buoyed by each other’s and team’s success, lead Oak Harbor into wrestling postseason
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
It’s been a special season for Oak Harbor High School wrestler Jahleel Vester. The senior captain owns a 29-2 record and is ranked third in the state in the 138pound division. His individual accomplishments helped Oak Harbor go undefeated in the Wesco 3A North, win the divisional crown and post a 9-1 season record. To find one of the reasons for his and the Wildcats’ success, all he has to do is look across the family dinner table. His younger brother, Jeremy, a 132-pound junior, has amassed a 31-1 record and is ranked fifth in his weight class. The brothers said what makes this season special isn’t just their success, but getting to share those accomplishments together. And, they noted, the season is far from over and there are other clippings to add to their scrapbooks. The postseason starts this weekend with the sub-regional tournament at MarysvillePilchuck Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. The pair hope to advance through the qualifying tournaments and return to state. Jahleel has earned a state trip each year, placing eighth as a freshman and junior. Jeremy qualified each of his two seasons but has not placed. Jahleel’s goal is to finish in the top three; Jeremy is looking to place, which is eighth or better. As a team, Oak Harbor finished 10th at state last winter.

Wildcat captain Jahleel Vester, left, jokingly reacts to his younger brother Jeremy’s claim that he could beat Jahleel in wrestling. Oak Harbor coach Peter Esvelt said the team goal is to finish among the top three at sub-regional, which features several strong tournament teams. Beyond that, he said, it will depend on how well Oak Harbor’s No. 2 wrestlers in each class do against the varsity athletes from other schools. At state, the goal is to “finish on the board (top 10) again,” he said. “At state, all of the wrestlers are good, and it comes down to the teams and wres-

The Wildcats also lost 79-54 at Shorecrest Friday, Jan. 31, and to visiting Ferndale 81-74 Saturday, Feb. 1, in a nonleague game.

In addition to the Vesters, Esvelt expects Christian Bertram (113 pounds), Mark Johnston (152) and Jackson Constant (285) to be among the top seeds in the subregional “If we wrestle like we can, we could take 10 onto regionals,” Esvelt said. The top three in each weight class at the sub-regional will advance to the regional meet
and then in a tie-breaker game at home at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, against M-P or Everett. Washington hit six three-pointers on the way to his 44 points, second in OHHS scoring to Pat McGreevey’s 49 in 1953. Washington also had 21 points in the losses to Shorecrest and Ferndale. Dyllan Harris scored 24 against Ferndale.
Wolves fall to Sultan The Coupeville boys basketball team lost 79-67 at Sultan Friday, Jan. 31. The Wolves outscored the Turks 52-48 over the first, third and fourth quarters, but the second quarter was another story when Sultan racked up 31 points
at Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School Feb. 15. The Vesters realize the better they are as individuals, the better the chance the team reaches its goals. With that in mind, the two often train together in practice, inspiring each other to improve. “It helps us push each other hard,” Jeremy said. Jahleel added he is motivated to work hard in practice because he “doesn’t want to get pinned by his younger brother.” Esvelt said Jahleel and
to 15 for Coupeville. Anthony Bergeron scored 14 points, Gavin O’Keefe 10, Nick Streubel 10, Wiley Hesselgrave nine, Joel Walstad eight, Morgan Payne eight, Aaron Trumbull six and Matt Shank two. The Wolves (1-11, 3-15) finish up the season at 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, at Granite Falls (5-6, 8-9).
CHS girls lose at line Two stats stood out in the Coupeville girls basketball game with visiting Sultan Friday, Jan. 31. Unfortunately one led directly to the Wolves’ 42-39 loss. Coupeville missed 19 free throws, hitting only 11 of 30. The other stat was an impressive 24 rebounds by Makana Stone,
Jeremy are “great to coach” and will practice together “with enough brotherly competition” to make the drills “far more competitive than most.” The two are also good teammates, Esvelt said, and will jump in and show techniques to others when the team is working on individual improvements. The Vesters are similar in their work ethics, records, goals and confidence, Esvelt said, but are different in other areas.
but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Wolves’ foul-shooting woes. Stone also scored 10 points, Maddi Strasburg had nine, Amanda Fabrizi six, Kacie Kiel five, Bree Messner four, Julia Myers four and McKayla Bailey one. Coupeville (4-7, 8-9) hosts Granite Falls (0-11, 1-16) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7. The Wolves will open district play at home at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11.
OH girls drop 2 games Shorecrest and Ferndale each scored in double figures in every quarter to hand the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team a pair of losses over the weekend. Visiting Shorecrest defeated
Jahleel is more serious and takes a studious approach to wrestling, and Jeremy is more jovial and less tense in tight situations. Their wrestling styles follow their personalities, Esvelt said. Jahleel is pragmatic, always moving forward. Jeremy “counters great” and “even in the worst position, he usually scrambles out and on top.” Jahleel is a “great leader,” according to Esvelt, while Jeremy provides “comic relief” in a positive way. “They carry their heart and faith with them everywhere,” Esvelt said. “It is the most genuine display I have seen as a coach, and it translates to a deep caring for their teammates.” Jahleel, being a senior captain, sees its as his responsibility that the Wildcats, as a whole, do well. “I feel like I can’t slack off in practice; I have to lead by example. When we run sprints, I should be first. When I lose, I try not to display my disappointment; I try to set a good example.” The two could be wrestling in the same weight class, but Jeremy, being the good younger brother, diets to fit into a lower weight class to allow Jahleel to wrestle at his natural weight. One obvious questions remains: If the Vesters wrestled each other, who would win? In response, each sheepishly looked at the other and slowly raised his own hand. Brotherly love only goes so far.
Oak Harbor 65-36 Friday, Jan. 31, then host Ferndale topped the Wildcats 54-24 Saturday, Feb. 1, in a nonleague game. Against Shorecrest, Jinai Guzman led Oak Harbor with 10 points, Joanna Leete had six, Jamie Estrella six, Julie Jansen five, Bryn Langrock three, Hayley Lundstrom three, Courtney Triplett two and Liz Lym one. Jansen added six rebounds and Natalie Fiallos recorded five assists. Against Ferndale, Oak Harbor made only one two-point field goal while hitting six three-pointers. Leete scored 11 points, Guzman nine, Estrella two, Langrock one and Kenna Prosch one. Oak Harbor (0-11, 0-18) finishes the season at home against Getchell (1-9, 4-13) at 7:15 p.m. Thurs-

After 18 months of personal crusade to defend attacks on Navy and OLF, off-island voice backs off from fight By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Joe Kunzler loves watching Navy aircraft operations at Outlying Field Coupeville so much he’s coined his own phrase. “That’s part of the fun of OLF-ing,” Kunzler said. “You never know when it’s going to start until they do it.” Kunzler was waiting impatiently Jan. 6 for the first scheduled Field Carrier Landing Practice operations, or touch-and-gos, of 2014. He was ready with camera in hand and GoPro video recorder attached to his ball cap, which was embroidered with a jet and the letters “EA-18G.” Shortly after 3 p.m., the first EA-18G Growler electronic air attack aircraft appeared above the tree line. “I’ve been waiting for this
a controversial figure at public forums, in the media and on his own blog — as a result of his often-vehement and, arguably, inflammatory defense of the Navy and its operations at OLF. Often criticized for getting involved in Whidbey Island politics, the Skagit County resident said he was compelled to speak after intense criticism of the Navy’s jet noise as a member of the Whidbey-based Navy League. Recently, after roughly 18 months of involvement, Kunzler said he is hanging it up. Last month, he took down his website and announced at a January county commissioner meeting his plans to stay out of Whidbey Island politics. “I’ve become introspective,” Kunzler said. “I decid-
An EA-18G Growler performs a touch-and-go operation at Outlying Field Coupeville when operations restarted Jan. 6. for a long time!” said an excited Kunzler. Landing practices were suspended at OLF in May 2013, just prior to a federal lawsuit filed against the Navy demanding an Environmental Impact Statement be conducted and calling for the closure of OLF. The group, the anti-noise Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, has since said they want all the Growlers removed from the island. An unabashed supporter of the Navy from SedroWoolley, Kunzler became
ed no more public comment. It’s time for me to focus on controlling what I can. If I’m going to Island County meetings acting like a jerk... it’s a distraction.” Still, Kunzler has left his mark on the public debate surrounding the Growler and the presence of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
NEW PURPOSE Joining the Navy League of Oak Harbor in January 2012 was one of the best things that’s ever happened
“Growler” Joe Kunzler creates and distributes his own buttons among supporters. to him, Kunzler said. Son of a Navy veteran, Kunzler had wanted to be a fighter pilot since he was young. Born with Asbergers — a form of autism — and suffering from a bad back, bad left eyesight and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder — limited his ability to serve his country the way he’d hoped. “I can’t serve in the military because of my multiple disabilities,” Kunzler said. “That’s why I joined the Navy League.” On his blog, he described how guys like him are written off as a “vegetable, retard, stalker,” even thought he is someone who “just wanted to serve my country like every other American.” The Navy League, Kunzler said, provided him with a social connection and sense of purpose he craved. “When you can put on that Team U.S.A. jersey and go out on the field, and stick up for these guys, life makes sense,” Kunzler said. “I feel like I’m part of the team; I feel like I’m caretaking of my nation.” Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, a fellow Navy Leaguer, describes Kunzler as intelligent and outspoken. “He’s pretty well versed and he means well,” Brown said, but added, “he get’s a little over the top when people rub him the wrong way.” In addition to his physical limitations, Kunzler said he

His father, whom Kunzler asked not be identified, fired on the intruders. Both men escaped, but appeared at area hospitals within a few hours of the break-in, police reported. SEE KUNZLER, A12

“The Navy is protecting them,” he said.

The incident left Kunzler shaken, but also deepened his affection for his father. “I have a lot of respect for my father,” Kunzler said. Kunzler said he supports the Navy and his father’s service in it because it provides security to the country but especially to the parents he cares so deeply about.

the group. COER filed a lawsuit against the Navy over jet noise in July 2013. Kunzler said his involvement on the issue was sparked by Pickard’s attacks on the Navy. In an email to county commissioners, Pickard wrote: “It is time for you ‘representatives’ to get some balls and take the death machine on this issue, quit licking their jackboots! Buck up!” Pickard was known for

making similar statements online and in public forums. “It hurt me to hear that kind of rhetoric,” Kunzler said. “Pickard and his comments put me over the edge. The pro-military side was not being heard until the lawsuit.” Pickard said he doesn’t recall when Kunzler joined the debate but remembers meeting him early on at a community meeting at the Coupeville Recreation Hall. “We seemed to get along fine,” Pickard said. “Am I unfairly attacking the Navy? I don’t think so,” Pickard said in an email response to questions. “The Navy has ‘attacked’ all of Central Puget Sound, condemning the entire region through jet noise and vibration. As I said, I never read what Joe and the other commentators say about me so I have no thoughts about their comments. “I know what I am doing is worthy, ethically correct, and just, and for the benefit of all of the human and animal residents of our region.”
GROWLER NOISE To do his part, Kunzler created his blog, a platform where he could post photos of the Growlers and share knowledge of the military and its aircraft. He also hurled responses and insults to Pickard and other Navy detractors, among them North Whidbey resident Garrett Newkirk. “This isn’t just about aviation photography, it’s about sticking up for the troops,” Kunzler wrote. “Enough’s enough. I’ve felt that way since August 2012 when progressive agitators just turned the Island County Commissioners’ meetings into a hostile environment for our troops. Now that’s changed -— it’s hostile for the progressive agitators, NOT pro-troop forces because guys like I just drew a line and held it.”

BOILING POINT During an August Island County Commissioner meeting, Kunzler said he felt outnumbered by jet noise critics during a public comment period. He booed and interrupted other speakers and received a rebuke for his behavior from Commissioner Jill Johnson. While addressing the board, Kunzler told an audience member to “shut up” and called her a “Nazi.” Several in the audience cried foul as Kunzler sat down and then allegedly told a woman in the audience to “go to hell.” Kunzler later apologized to the board, but refused to apologize to certain people in the audience. During a December public meeting about the Growlers, Kunzler was escorted out of Coupeville High School by marshal’s deputies after a heated discussion with retired educator Harry Toulgoat. “All those school children that you grew up with that didn’t want you as their friend, they had you pegged as a problem from the beginning and you remain so now,” Toulgoat told him. Toulgoat later said he was referencing Kunzler’s blog, on which he discussed how he used to be teased by kids at school because of his disabilities. Toulgoat said he wasn’t aware of Kunzler’s Aspergers. Both men later expressed regret over the argument, and it was a turning point for Kunzler.
A STEP BACK Kunzler concedes he may have been over-involved for a nonresident and has learned to empathize somewhat with criticizing jet noise. His message now: It’s time for Whidbey Island to solve its own problems. “I love the noise, absolute-

ly love the noise,” Kunzler said. “But I don’t like how people are having adverse impacts.” Kunzler said he was not aware that until recently that real estate agents were giving out a brief, nonspecific noise disclosure. The island’s real estate community updated the form last month. “I think I did not know what the whole story is,” Kunzler said. “Had I known about the noise disclosure fiasco I would not have said these people were told. I’m more empathetic of residents …” Kunzler said he wanted his blog to “try to convey information to the public” but said, “it’s hard to do that when everyone is screaming.” He admits that his own inflammatory language lent credence to “the crazy distraction” that became his online presence. “People should be able to go to their civic spaces for solutions,” Kunzler said. “I have hurt that space. I’ve really tried to change direction. It’s time for the average Whidbey Island resident to speak up.” Moving forward, Kunzler said that he plans to attend community college and focus on military history, while continuing to photograph his favorite aircraft — the EA-18G Growler. “Now I want to show my support my with my camera, not with my mouth,” Kunzler said. “Not get baited into knee-jerk responses.” After an afternoon of photographing Navy jets and taking in the roaring jet noise well past sun down, Kunzler was already planning his next “OLF-ing” trip. When asked, “You really enjoy this don’t you?” He said, “Every time.” “Every time.”
