Commission proposes sculpture

By JESSIE STENSLAND

Staff reporter

Artists rendering by Rebecca Hunt

A noted Oregon artist will be releasing the Kraken in downtown Oak Harbor, possibly by the end of summer.

The city’s arts commission and staff worked out an agreement with metal sculpture Bill Hunt to build a copper-andsteel sea monster attacking the Nautilus submarine.

If the City Council agrees, the sculpture will be placed at the intersection of Pioneer Way and City Beach Street.

Cac Kamak, senior planner, said the commissioner wanted the sculpture to be unique and to make a big impact. He said they will get their wishes on both counts.

“They wanted a meaningful piece that will draw people downtown,” he said.

“They wanted something a little outside of the box.”

It’s going to be big. Hunt said the work will stand about eight feet tall and will be about eight feet in diameter, so it will be hard to miss.

Taking reins of Ebey’s Reserve

North Whidbey dog breeder accused of running puppy mill

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A North Whidbey dog breeder was recently cited for an alleged violation of the state’s four-year-old law aimed at preventing puppy mills.

It is the first time the law is being applied to a case on Whidbey Island.

Matthew Hernkind, owner of Matt’s Great Dane Ranch, pleaded not guilty in Island County District Court this week to violating the dog breeding law, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2010.

The law makes it illegal to have more than 50 dogs capable of breeding and over the age of six months. It also dictates requirements for taking care of the pooches, including cleanliness, temperature, size of cages and the ability for the animals to exercise.

Carol Barnes, the county’s animal control officer, inves-

Kristen Griffin said she is “uniquely suited” to appreciate island living and the historic significance of Whidbey.

Griffin began her position as the new manager of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve last week.

The Trust Board searched for months for the right candidate.

Griffin, who grew up on Mercer Island, said that island living has been a theme of her life.

“I just can’t believe how fortunate I am,” Griffin said. “I feel so lucky to be here. This is one of the most beautiful and significant locations in Washington state.”

Washington State Parks to host ‘free’ days; first one is March 19 Washington State Parks will offer free days when visitors won’t have to display a Discover Pass when visiting a state park.

The next free day is March 19. Other free days are April 19, April 22, May 11, June 7 and 8, June 14, Aug. 25, Sept. 27 and Nov. 11.

The free days are consistent with legislation that created the Discover Pass, which is a $30 annual or $10 per day permit that allows visitors into state

parks along with lands managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources.

The legislation stated that the park system could designate up to 12 free days throughout the year.

Visitors will still need a Discover Pass when they visit department of natural resources and fish and wildlife lands.

Double-shooting suspect wounded by police after high-speed pursuit

A student at Coupeville High School uses a Chromebook that was paid for by a technology levy.

Voters reapproved the levy last week.

Coupeville voters give nod to school levies

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff Reporter

Central Whidbey voters gave Coupeville schools two thumbs up Tuesday.

Two levies proposed by the Coupeville School District appear to be passing with the approval rates over the 60 percent mark.

“We’re very happy and thrilled that it passed,” said Superintendent Jim Shank Tuesday night shortly after the initial results were released by the Island County Auditors Office.

He added that he’s grateful for the support the community has given the school district.

The first levy, which is a maintenance and operations levy, was passing with 63.39 percent voter approval Tuesday, Feb. 11. After a second count Thursday that number increased to more than 64 percent.

The operations levy will bring in $2.24 million a year for the next four years. It helps pay the salaries of addi-

EstatE Planning

tional teachers, para-educators, a school nurse, counseling, instructional materials and more.

The levy will cost a home owner an estimated $1.14 per $1,000 assessed property value, according to the school district’s website.

The technology levy is also passing according to information from the auditor’s office.

According to the initial count, 62.58 percent of voters approved the technology levy. The number also increased Thursday to more than 63 percent.

That levy will give the school district $300,000 a year for the next four years to help pay for technology upgrades.

That levy will cost a homeowner an estimated 15 cents

per $1,000 assessed property value, according to the school district’s website.

Of the more than 7,000 ballots mailed out to voters late last month, the Island County Auditor’s Office received 3,538, with a current turnout of 49 percent.

Both measures had to pass with a 50 percent simple majority.

Elections officials will continue to receive ballots from the mail-in election in the coming days. Those ballots had to be postmarked

by Feb. 11 in order to be counted.

The auditor’s office as of Thursday evening had no more ballots left to count.

The results aren’t official until the auditor certifies the election, which will take place Feb. 25.

Detectives are investigating a double shooting on Camano Island connected to a high-speed pursuit that ended in gunfire in Mukilteo Sunday, according to Island County Sheriff Mark Brown.

The suspect, who was shot multiple times by police, and one of his alleged victims were reported in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center Tuesday morning, according to the Everett Herald.

Camano Island resident Riley Ottersen, 34, allegedly shot a man and a woman while they were sitting in a car outside the woman’s home on Michelle Drive, Brown said.

Witnesses in the home reported the shooting at 3:15 p.m.

The male victim, Bret Berlin, 44, of Camano Island, was shot in the face and neck area. He was transported to Harborview.

The woman, Tracy Renner, 45, was shot in the arm. She was treated at Skagit Valley Hospital and released.

Sailboat runs aground near OH after rescue

By ARWYN RICE Peninsula Daily News

The sailboat Slacker Jack was found grounded Monday morning near Oak Harbor, a day after a Coast Guard crew rescued five people from its pitching deck Saturday, said Petty Officer Third Class Jordan Akiyama, a Coast Guard spokesman.

“The owner is working with contractors to salvage the vessel,” Akiyama said.

The rescue was among several weather-related problems caused by a winter storm that moved through the region Saturday.

John Sunstrom, of Spokane, and four passengers were rescued from the 24-foot sailboat at about 6:10 a.m. Saturday in the waters off Port Ludlow, Akiyama said.

The Coast Guard cutter Terrapin took on three adults and two children from the boat as it was being overwhelmed by 42-mph gusts and three- to five-foot waves.

Brown said the motive for the shooting was unknown, though investigators believed that the shooter and victims knew each other.

A witness provided the dispatcher and responding deputies with a description of the shooter and his car. Shortly afterward, a trooper with the Washington State Patrol spotted the suspect vehicle on Highway 532.

The driver led police on a high-speed chase southbound on Interstate-5 and eventually into Mukilteo.

Police were able to bump the car off the road in the 5300 block of 88th Street S.W. Multiple shots were fired and the suspect was struck, the Everett Herald reported.

Detectives with the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team are investigating the police shooting.

Four officers, including two Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies, an officer with the Everett Police Department and a Washington State Patrol trooper, remain on paid administrative leave in keeping with standard procedure, the Herald reported.

According to the Coast Guard, an early morning distress call was made by Sunstrom, who said his boat was taking on water about two miles off of Port Ludlow.

The Terrapin, an 87-foot stationed in Bellingham, was dispatched to the location, where it found the Slacker Jack taking on water over the side, Akiyama said.

Crew aboard the Terrapin and Sunstrom agreed that towing the vessel was unsafe.

Three adults and two children from the Slacker Jack were transferred to the Terrapin and taken to Port Ludlow, Akiyama said.

Sunstrom’s passengers were not identified.

All five people from the Slacker Jack were evaluated

by Jefferson County emergency medical technicians and released.

Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound recorded the position of the Slacker Jack and issued a broadcast notice of the navigational hazard to other boaters and ships.

“We always advise mariners to check weather and sea conditions before going out. Even experienced mariners can be taken by surprise if the weather picks up out of nowhere,” Akiyama said.

A National Weather Service small craft advisory for the Puget Sound and Hood Canal area had expired Friday evening, and a gale warning was in place for the waterway beginning at noon Saturday.

Whidbey grower goes organic

Senate passes Bailey staff development initiative The Senate unanimously approved a measure from Sen. Barbara Bailey aimed at helping more Washington residents move into high-skill, highwage jobs, while also helping employers find the skilled workers they need.

As chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee, Bailey introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 8409 to approve the state Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board’s updated 10-year plan. The board was created in 1991 to oversee the state’s workforce development, which includes aligning efforts of higher-education institutions with the needs of a dynamic, competitive and global job market. It must report every four years on the progress of the plan.

Gardeners will have a new source for seeds cultivated to thrive in Whidbey’s climate.

Deep Harvest Farm located on South Whidbey Island is offering a varieties of organic vegetable seeds at Bayview Farm and Garden located in Langley.

Nathaniel Talbot, owner of Deep Harvest Farm, has been developing organic seeds since he was a student at the farmer training center located at the Greenbank Farm.

He has 20 varieties of vegetable seeds available for sale at the south end garden center.

“The vast majority of organic produce aren’t grown from organic seeds,” Talbot said there is a huge undersupply for such seeds and growers will purchase conventional seeds and grow vegetables using organic practices.

Conventional seeds are grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Talbot said in an email that because seed crops are exposed to chemicals, they aren’t exposed to the same natural selection pressures as organic crops.

He added that locally devel-

Navy passing on Hornet; Boeing presses for Growlers Reports indicate that the new U.S. defense budget that is set to be unveiled next month has no allowance for purchasing new versions of the F1A18 E/F Super Hornet.

New purchases of the electronic attack version called the EA-18G Growler are also nonexistent.

Some in Washington want to continue to purchase the aircraft with a $75 million defense appropriations bill that would call for the purchase of 22 new aircraft.

Boeing, maker of the Super Hornet, also wants the military to purchase more EA-18G aircraft.

The Hornet has been around since the 1970’s and replaced the F-14 Tomcat and A-6 Prowler.

When the last orders are completed, the Navy will have 563 Super Hornets and 138 Growlers. The current orders will have production of the aircraft continuing through 2016.

Boeing says that 90,000 full time jobs around the country are dependent on Super Hornet production, and the company is currently shopping the jet to foreign nations now. Boeing had hoped to court Brazil with the purchase of 36 Super Hornets, but concerns over the NSA’s spying program led the Latin American country into the arms of Sweden and its Saab JAS-39 Gripen NG.

Deep Harvest’s Nathaniel Talbot and Annie Jesperson now offer organic seeds at local farms. oped seeds are more adapted to local growing conditions.

As an example, he noted that conditions that would allow for a thriving kale crop on Whidbey Island would be different for kale grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley,

which produces a significant amount of kale.

when they decided to attend the farmer training center operating at the Greenbank Farm. They said in an interview last summer they went to Greenbank to learn both the business and agriculture aspects of small-scale farming.

Once they finished the program, Talbot and Jesperson started farming on about 3 acres of land on South Whidbey Island and started Deep Harvest Farm.

They also sell at the Bayview Farmers Market.

Legislation may mean tax cuts for some, increases for others

By REBECCA GOURLEY and JANIS REID

A proposed change to a law aimed at preserving farmland and open space could result in higher taxes for some Washington property owners, including in Island County.

House Bill 2306 would expand a tax classification on land actively used for agriculture, timber production or undeveloped open space.

While property tax is generally assessed on the market value of a parcel, the state’s Open Space Taxation Act allows land to be taxed at a lower rate based on its current use, such as farming.

Under the current law, if a farming operation is 20 acres or more, the parcels must be contiguous in order to be eligible for the lower tax classification.

The bill proposes to take out the “contiguous” stipulation, opening up this tax classification to farms that have multiple parcels that total 20 acres or more but aren’t necessarily touching each other.

While the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, said her goal is simply the preservation of farmland, some tax assessors worry that the bill may result in an unfair tax shift.

File photo/Whidbey News-Times

Linda Bartlett runs Rosehip Farm, a small farm in Central Whidbey. Smaller farms may slip under the new tax law.

Island County Assessor Mary Engle said that parcels under 20 acres would be able to partner with larger farms, allowing them to be taxed under the lower rate.

This could cause a shift of taxes onto other property owners, Engle said, but she wasn’t clear about how that might play out for Island County.

Island County contains roughly 10 farms over 20 acres, Engle said, with the rest of the farms existing as

small-scale operations on smaller parcels.

Engle said that the law change, as proposed, contains no requirement of proof that the larger farm is actually doing the farming on the smaller parcel.

For that reason, farms smaller than 20 acres could slip through under the lower tax rate.

For example, on a Coupeville farm less than 20 acres that is assessed at $800,000, its current tax bill of

value. Property owners with a decrease in assessed property value will likely pay less in taxes, a difference that would have to be made up by other taxpayers in the county.

“The tax-shift implications are significant when you go on a statewide basis,” Cook said.

Allen Rozema, executive director of Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland, says the bill as proposed could help preserve farmland and open space that is not currently eligible for the lower tax rate.

“This is an innovative and unique approach to keeping agriculture viable in Washington state,” he said.

“This approach and similar approaches need to continue to be pursued by the Legislature. It helps to elevate the preservation of farming to the same level as our state’s other critical resources.”

Farming is an essential part of the state’s economy.

The Washington Department of Agriculture valued Washington’s agricultural production in 2012 at $9.89 billion, exceeding 2011 figures by 6 percent and setting a new record.

“How do you audit that if you don’t have to prove anything?” Engle said.

“You could start seeing a tax shift if people figure out to work the system.”

Statewide, the average farm size has decreased by about 12.5 percent from 2003 to 2012, but the number of

farms increased by about 7 percent during the same time period, according to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture.

It’s hard to know how much of a tax shift could result from allowing more parcels to qualify for the lower tax rate, as there’s no estimate of exactly how much land could be eligible, says Yakima County Assessor Dave Cook.

Each county in the state collects a specific amount of property-tax revenue, with the total amount spread across all taxable properties.

When some properties are assessed at a lower rate, the other properties in the taxing district must make up the difference.

Depending on how much property is eligible to be assessed at the lower agricultural rate, the increase in property taxes paid by others in the district could be significant.

Cook says the legislation could result in a $70-million loss of assessed property value in Yakima County because more farmland would be assessed at its current use rather than market

IN OUR OPINION It’s time to add back Friday office hours Struggling to stay afloat amidst unprecedented revenue losses and subsequent staff reductions, in 2009 the Island County Board of Commissioners scaled back services by closing select departments to the public on Fridays.

It was a prudent move at the time, designed to provide remaining and overburdened employees with time to catch their breath and make a dent in an everincreasing backlog of work.

But that was four years ago; the situation is different now, and the commissioners should rescind this once necessary policy and restore county office hours to five-day-a-week service. It’s the right time for the county, it’s the right time for the public and it’s the right time for Whidbey Island’s economy.

First and foremost, growth and development have always served as barometers of the economy. And while recovery from the recession remains slow, rising home values — 2 percent in 2013 — and an awakening housing market are indications that things seem to be improving.

As several island real estate agents and contractors recently pointed out, there is sufficient need now to have county offices open on Fridays. Expediting the county’s permit process does have an impact on their businesses and, indeed, the overall financial health of Island County.

That consideration should not be taken lightly, especially if such economic hobbles can be avoided, which it sounds like they can.

During a recent round table meeting with the commissioners, several department heads indicated that they are in a position to restore Friday office hours. It would present some hardship, but it could be done.

Island County has many exceptionally qualified and experienced leaders. These long-time professionals know their charges and their capabilities well.

The commissioners voiced concerns about the proposal, some related to the cost of hiring additional staff and others concerning the long-term sustainability of adding office hours.

There is nothing wrong with having reservations and wanting to weigh a decision carefully before committing; it’s a sign of sagacious elected officials.

The board should not contemplate too long.

The public, department heads, and our economy are all saying the same thing — Friday service is possible and it can be done very soon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Newfies

Can relate to Living article about dogs Editor, I just read Saturday’s Island Living article, “Instant Bond.” I have had two Newfies and both were exactly as Ms. Becker describes hers. They are described as gentle giants, and that is the truth.

Both of my boys lived to be about 15 in age, which is extremely old for these dogs. Juice was given to us when he was about two and Woody was adopted from WAIF when he was 10.

Juice lived with family in Georgia while we were stationed overseas.

They had a swimming pool in their yard. The kids could not swim with Juice in the yard. They would jump in and he would be right behind them, dragging them out to safety.

Repeatedly.

I wish them all the luck and love in the world.

And I hope they have a good vacuum for the billowy clouds of black and brown hair.

COER

Navy between rock and a hard place Editor, It appears that the Navy is now caught between a rock and a hard place.

The Navy has not flown at Outlying Field Coupeville more than a couple of times since May 2013, lending very strong credence to the observation that they do not really need to use the outdated, encroached upon,

World War II emergency landing strip.

If the strip were of as great of an “importance to our national security” as the Navy claims it is, why aren’t they practicing there?

Week after week, the press release goes out, “Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash. – No Field Carrier Landing Practice (FLCP) operations for aircraft stationed at NAS Whidbey Island are scheduled to occur at the Outlying Field (OLF) in Coupeville, Wash., the week of …”

While this is great news for the residents of Central Whidbey, it means the Growlers are flying over the outlying areas of San Juan Island, Orcas, Lopez, La Conner and other now heavily affected places such as Skagit County.

On the COER complaint line, a great number of the calls are now from off Whidbey or North Whidbey.

Also, are the Growlers traveling to El Centro, China Lake, or San Diego, Calif., where they really belong? We have proof of them practicing there.

On the other hand, if the Navy were to resume using Outlying Field, they are very aware that Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve is monitoring the Growler activity as to which flight pattern is used, sound levels of the jets, time of day flown and number of flights.

So, if they don’t fly, they don’t need the field.

If they do fly, they can’t live up their own statements in the 2005 environmental assessment.

Why doesn’t the Navy just admit the Growlers have no place on Whidbey Island and move them?

Like I said, between a rock and a hard place.

Letter

Newspaper should start rant column Editor, In response to the letter, “Wait until the trial before reporting story,” I know, I know, you guys want to give everyone the feeling that their opinion counts, but how about we leave the morons out?

This guy knows a lot of people.

He’s gonna take you down, Whidbey News-Times.

This has got to be one of the most idiotic rants I’ve seen on this site. Maybe you guys should start a Whidbey News-Times comedy rant section?

You could start with this letter.

Promise of risk-free environment results in punitive, costly regulations GUEST COLUMN

By DON BRUNELL

Where there is life, there is risk.

That’s not some insightful quotation, it’s just a fact.

We’re exposed to risk from the moment we get up in the morning – slip and fall, dog bite, traffic accident, lightning strike.

We can manage risk, we can minimize risk, but we

cannot eliminate it.

That fact used to be accepted as common sense, but in today’s society, people have come to believe that any degree of risk is unacceptable.

In fact, trial lawyers have won lawsuits, not because their clients were injured, but because they feared they might be.

Why does this matter to you? When government tries to ensure a virtually risk-free environment, it imposes regulations that are needlessly punitive and costly.

We pay those costs through higher prices and lost jobs.

Case in point: estimating environmental risk.

There are two common ways to calculate risk.

One method is easier and cheaper; the other is more accurate.

Most government agencies use the first one.

It’s called the “deterministic” method.

This method is easier for agencies to use because it’s simple and it doesn’t require a lot of data. The only problem is it’s less accurate.

It tends to overestimate risk.

But that’s not all. Regulators routinely take that overestimated risk level and compound it by adding an additional layer of buffer – “just to be safe.”

As a result, you end up with regulations that are far more restrictive and costly than necessary to provide protection.

Last November, the Washington Department of Ecology announced that it will likely use this method as it updates the state’s Fish Consumption Level – one factor in a complex formula that determines our state’s water quality standards.

That’s a problem. Ecology’s starting point on this issue was extreme to begin with. They wanted to use the same FCR that Oregon used, one which resulted in water quality standards that are virtually impossible to meet because the technology to comply doesn’t exist, and may not for decades.

In some cases, the allowable levels are so low they can’t be measured with existing technology.

A recent study by HDR Engineering estimates that imposing these standards in Washington would cost local governments, ports, ratepayers and businesses billions, with little or no environmental benefit.

Despite that, Ecology still plans to use this less accurate method to calculate environmental risks.

There is a better way.

It’s called the probabilistic method, as in “probabilities.” It’s more comprehensive, more precise and more accurate.

This method analyzes large amounts of data and thousands of variables in order to calculate

a range of exposures and risks across various populations and circumstances.

The result is a more nuanced, realistic picture of environmental risk.

Think of it this way: When you walk out of your house, there’s a risk you could get struck by lightning.

Lightning strikes occur every day somewhere on the globe. But how likely is it that it will happen to you? That’s the question that is better answered by the probabilistic method.

Ecology has used the probabilistic method, and the EPA says it provides the best basis for decision-making.

“Because the results of the refined risk assessment show the range of possible environmental impacts and which ones are most likely to occur, they provide a better basis for decision-making.”

If that’s true, why isn’t Ecology using it now?

Good question.

It’s a question being asked by the members of the Northwest Pulp & Paper Association, who recently submitted a report to Ecology on the probabilistic method prepared by ARCADIS, a global leader in environmental engineering and risk assessment.

NWPPA has asked Ecology to use the more accurate probabilistic method as the agency updates our state’s water quality standards.

Let’s hope they listen. n Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization.

OBITUARIES

Purdue

Roger H. Purdue

Orcas and Whidbey Islands’ Roger H. “Hank” Purdue died at his Coupeville home on Jan. 19, 2014. He was born June 12, 1938, at Friday Harbor, Wash. Roger had a magical childhood growing up in the tiny village of Eastsound on Orcas Island where his family, the Purdues, Coffelts, Vierecks were long established.

His grandfather, Rev. Henry James Purdue, was the rector of the Episcopal Parish, his grandmother Jennie the local school teacher.

His father’s (Roger C.) service station was a gathering spot where Roger learned about mechanics and story telling. Roger’s mother Huldah operated the radio for San Juan Airlines, a medical lifeline on Orcas, and Roger would race to the airport to watch the happenings and perhaps catch a ride.

Roger graduated from Western Washington University with a major in art and a degree in education.

He taught fourth and fifth grades in the Oak Harbor School District for 31 years.

Roger used projects to keep his students’ interest keen.

Once the students built a glider airplane in the classroom, which they then flew.

A mother of Tsimshian heritage and many summers sailing the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska inspired Roger to create Northwest Native American art. His first big community project was the first Salmon Wheel in Coupeville (Whidbey Island Museum).

He continued with yearly designs for the Penn Cove Water Festival, and he designed and brought together local carvers to create the present Whale Wheel in Coupeville.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents Roger and Huldah (ViereckCoffelt) Purdue, his sister Annabelle Leather wood and his brother-in-laws Ed Morgan and Robert Sherman.

He is survived by his wife, Sara Sherman Purdue; son Wilbur (Julieanna) Purdue; grandson Henry Purdue, daughter Grace Purdue; sister Jennie (Kelly) Reid; sister-in-laws Susan Morgan and Cheryl (Robert A) Engle; brother-in-law, Fred Leather wood, nephews, Clifton Leatherwood, Roger (Dawn) Reid, Robert W. (Mary) Engle; nieces, Ruth (Mark) Carlson, Donna (Russell) Bailey and Bonnie (Scott) Bennett; many great nieces and nephews; and many friends who brought great joy to his life.

An open house for Roger’s friends to visit and view his artwork is 11 a.m.3 p.m., Sunday, March 2. at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

Memorials may be made to Orcas Island Historical Society Museum, Island County Historical Society Museum, Coupeville Art Center, Penn Cove Water Festival and Coupeville History Day.

He worked for his grandfather and uncle on their farms and had a farm driver’s license at age 14.

He went to Santa Rosa High School and participated in Future Farmers of America hoping one day to be a veterinarian.

He received an appointment to the Naval Academy but due to his defective color vision he was not accepted.

Rather than give up, he joined the U.S. Navy at age 17 and for eight years was a Naval Weatherman at Kodiak, Alaska; Alameda, Calif., and Holy Lock, Scotland after schooling at NAS Lakehurst, N.J. As the first weatherman on a submarine tender at Holy Loch, he was notified he was accepted for Officer Candidate School at Newport, R.I., then to Supply Corps School at Athens, Ga., where he became a supply corps officer.

Assignments afloat, ashore and overseas include supply officer of a fleet oiler and on two aircraft carriers.

He was aide to three of the senior admirals in the U.S. Navy and was selected as captain, U.S. Navy while as executive officer at Subic Bay in the Philippines. He retired from Philadelphia, Pa., after 32 years of active duty.

He earned a B.S. in business administration and an M.S. in material management at the Naval University in Monterey, Calif., with doctoral stud-

ies at the University of Tennessee.

After retirement, he was professor of business subjects at several colleges and universities for 15 years, retiring in 2003.

He was recognized as Instructor of the Year in 1993 and received the Director’s Award in 2002.

He received many awards, including the Outstanding Young Man of America in 1973, President of the United States Award for Life Saving in 1984 and 4-H Co-leader of the Year in 2000 with his wife Lois.

They were leaders of the 4-H club Colonial Critters, receiving a record number of awards at the Island County Fair.

He started the 4-H Club Weather or Not in 2010 to teach youth about world weather.

During retirement, he was a volunteer firefighter, Fireman of the Year in 1992 and President of the Fire Association for three years.

Other volunteer activities included co-president of the Whidbey Playhouse, Boy Scouts of America Woodbadge Award and BSA district commissioner, Ducks Unlimited district chairman, president of Whidbey Sportsman’s Clubs, American Red Cross board and ARC Disaster Team, Conser vation Futures Fund board member, chairman Island County Fair Board and trained on the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for Island County.

He was a judge at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City in 1985. He was a life member of NRA, North American Hunting and Fishing Clubs, American Sheep Industry Association and American Livestock Breeds Conservatory.

Gary loved farming and, with his wife Lois, developed a state-of-the-art farm, Camelot Downs. They raised colonial livestock, being one of the few in the U.S. to do so.

Camelot Downs was declared the Merit Farm of Whidbey Island for conservation of natural resources, wetlands and creating wildlife habitat plus animal husbandry.

In 2010, Camelot Downs granted a Conservation Easement to Farmland Trust. He loved his pets and critters.

A good storyteller, he enjoyed sitting at a campfire at the family retreat, Rocky

Rientjes

Cornelius (Cornie) Rientjes

Cornelius (Cornie) Rientjes was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada on Jan. 18, 1913, and was received into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior on Jan. 28, 2014, as he heard the words, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

Cornie is survived by his two daughters Eleanor and husband Ellis Campfield of Maple Valley, Wash., and Saralee and husband Jack Lathrop of Lynden, Wash.

He is also survived by seven grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, six great-great-grandchildren as well as a large extended family.

Cornie was preceded in death by his wife Joanne, his daughter Joyce Badgley, his mother and father Jan and Wilhelmina Rientjes, three brothers: Gerrit, Bert and John Rientjes and two sisters Della Fakkema and Fan Reipma.

Cornie was a beloved father to his daughters and their spouses and a much loved grandfather.

He deeply loved his extended family and enjoyed nothing more than the time spent with them, especially those “Rientjes” songfests.

Cornie was not only a pastor but a caring friend. He gave his all for the Lord as he and his wife pastored churches in Bellevue, Harrah, Arlington and Lynden as well as being missionaries to Alaska.

After his retirement God used him in many churches that were in need of a spiritual father and shepherd.

He finally retired at 96, but still spent many hours in prayer until his passing.

All who ever met Cornie knew he always had a song on his lips and in his heart.

He lived Psalm 89:1, “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.”

The family would like to thank the staff at Meadow Greens and special friend Deanna Ross, as they lovingly cared for Cornie the last week of his life. It meant so much to all of us and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Visitation hours will be 4-7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 21, at Gillies Funeral Home.

A graveside ser vice will be conducted 11:30 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 22, in Greenwood Cemetery followed by a 1 p.m. memorial service at Sunrise Baptist Church, 2480 W. Badger Road, Custer.

Duckpin Dynasty: OH wins 4th straight state title

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

How good is the Oak Harbor High School bowling team? Let’s take a look…

1. The varsity No. 1 team won its fourth consecutive state championship Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 15 and 16, in the 49th annual Washington State Bowling Proprietors’ Association High School State Championship Tournament at Narrows Plaza Bowl in University Place.

2. The fourth straight win is the best ever by a high school team in the United States, according to coach Jason Youngsman.

3. Oak Harbor won the first division by 10 points with a pinfall of 8,901 over second-place Mountlake Terrace at 39/8,245. The 10 points was so decisive, only nine points separated the second through sixthplace teams in the nine-team field.

4. The Wildcat team is so deep, its Division II team, coached by Carlton Johnson Sr., also took first with 47 points and a pinfall of 8,368.

Bellarmine of Tacoma finished second at 39/7,890. Again, the winning margin, in this case eight points, was so big that the next six teams all fell within eight points of each other.

5. Oak Harbor was the only school to qualify two teams for the tournament, which featured 25 teams over three divisions.

PREP ROUNDUP 5 swimmers earn trip to state meet Led by 100-yard butterfly champion Caley Powers, the Oak Harbor swim team finished third in the district meet at Marysville-Pilchuck High School Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14 and 15, and qualified five individuals for the state meet.

Micah Geist, Joe Gorman and Cedric Cabigting will join Powers at state in individual events, and Dakota Powers will join him on two relays.

The first four in each event at district earned a spot in the state meet, which is Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 and 22, at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Other Oak Harbor swimmers could be added to the state roster through wildcard entries.

Shorewood defended its district title by piling up 516 points. Shorecrest finished second in the 10-team field with 473, and Oak Harbor,

The Oak Harbor varsity No. 1 team captured its fourth consecutive state crown last weekend. From left, Carlton Johnson Jr., Devin McCardle, Brendan McCardle, Tyler Rollyson and Daniel Rutter. Not pictured, Christian Osorio.

6. The Most Valuable Bowler in the top two divisions were from Oak Harbor: Brendan McCardle in Division I and Taylor Osorio in Division II. 7. Two members of the five-person, all-state first team in Division I

the Wesco North champion, tallied 284.

Caley Powers was nearly a two-time district champion. He won the 100 fly in 53.24 and was eked out of the 50-free title by a mere .01 seconds, swimming a 22.5 to Shorewood Galen Kinter’s 22.49.

Powers teamed up with Cabigting, Geist and his brother Dakota to finish third in both the 200 medley relay (1:48.12) and 200 free relay (1:35.87).

Geist (200 individual medley, 2:11.14), Gorman (500 free, 5:16.05) and Cabigting (100 back, 59.95) all placed fourth and secured a state trip.

Wolves ousted from district The Coupeville girls basketball team fell at Blaine and out of the district tournament 50-40 Friday, Feb. 14.

Amanda Fabrizi had 19 points, Makana Stone 10, Julia Myers four, Maddi Strasburg four and Messner three for the Wolves, who finished the season 10-13.

were from Oak Harbor: McCardle (182 average) and Carlton Johnson Jr. (184). Daniel Rutter (176) was a second-team selection.

8. Three Wildcats earned firstteam honors in Division II: Osorio (178), Logan Faught (172) and

Connor Parameter (171).

9. The varsity No. 2 team’s title was the second in three years; the Wildcats lost last year’s finals by a mere half point.

Add it all up and Oak Harbor is forming its own Duckpin Dynasty;

more accurately, a 10-pin powerhouse.

Joining McCardle, Johnson Jr. and Rutter on Oak Harbor No. 1 were Tyler Rollyson, Christian Osorio and Devin McCardle.

Christian Osorio was the tournament MVP and a first-team, all-state choice last year.

Rounding out Oak Harbor No. 2 were Patrick Anderson, Powell Tarrant and Daniel Stochl.

“They put out a lane pattern that was extremely hard for high school level bowlers,” Youngsman said, “but my team handled it with poise and just clawed out some huge wins. The scores were extremely low but we still won by a good margin of points.”

“Brendan McCardle made his usual clutch shots to win games,” he added. “Carlton Johnson Jr. brought his intensity and poise to keep the guys focused, and, Daniel Rutter and Devin McCardle made some really huge shots for freshman firsttimers that brought home some victories.”

Assistant coaches for Oak Harbor are Jacob Miller and John Youngsman, Jason’s father.

The Wildcats also won the state title in 1991 when Jason Youngsman was a team member and John Youngsman handled the headcoaching duties.

Boys shine in regional wrestling tournament All seven Oak Harbor High School boy wrestlers who qualified for the regional tournament finished in the top four of their classes to secure a trip to the state meet, Mat Classic XXVI, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 and 22, at the Tacoma Dome.

The Wildcat girls, however, struggled in their regional meet; only one of the five who competed earned a trip to state.

Nathan Hale High School Saturday, Feb. 15. Ferndale won with 215 points; Oak Harbor collected 137.5.

Jeremy Vester (132 pounds), Christian Bertram (113) and Jahleel Vester (138) claimed titles; Mark Johnston (152) and Jackson Constant (285) finished second; Ray Quinday (220) was third and Jacob Dugin (195) placed fourth.

For the girls, sophomore Amder Cramsey-Behnke (235) finished fourth and qualified for state. Freshmen Meredith Bain (170) and Caitlynn Woodworth (145) finished sixth.

Mount Baker won the girls tournament at Bellingham High School with 206 points; Oak Harbor finished 14th out of 36 schools with 24.

She was the historian at Sitka National Park as well as the historian and archeologist for Denali National Park in Alaska.

She is currently a member of the board of directors for the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.

“She’s got 25 years of historic preservation and cultural resource experience,” said Lisbeth Cort, who served as the interim manager for the reserve until last week.

Griffin said the position for the reserve, and its emphasis on partnerships with the community, appealed to her philosophy for preservation.

Griffin said she defines historic preservation quite broadly, not just focusing on architecture, but also the way of life, landscape and how people have interacted with the land. And she said she believes the structures put in place by the federal and state agencies work well when used correctly.

“I believe the processes result in good decision-making,” Griffin said.

Griffin said she was aware of the controversy surrounding Outlying Field Coupeville noise and the cement blocks placed around the perimeter of the practice field when she applied for the position.

The Navy’s airfield borders the reserve, and some have been critical of the cement blocks, arguing they detract from the natural beauty of the area.

The state’s Depar tment

of Archaeology and Historic Preser vation issued a “no adverse affect” determination in September. However, the office retracted its statement last month “due to new information about the project.”

The Navy must now come up with an alternative plan and involve all vested parties, including local tribes, governments and agencies, including Ebey’s Reserve.

Griffin’s husband served with the Army in Vietnam and her father was a marine. Griffin said she will approach the issue fairly and work toward a solution.

“I am especially experienced in this type of communication and dialogue,” Griffin said. “I am entering this position at a critical part of this discussion when a new kind of relationship is being built between the board and the Navy.”

Griffin said she will work with rural and urban property owners, neighborhood associations and government officials as part of her new position. Griffin said

Kristen Griffin, new Ebey’s Reserve manager, stands near the Jacob Ebey House on a bluff that overlooks the reserve and water. she is looking forward to working with the island’s many organizations dedicated to historic preservation.

“This reserve is one of the best examples I’ve ever seen of how partnerships can create a great preser vation climate,”

Griffin said.

“I have a lot of listening and learning to do.”

Griffin replaces Mark Preiss, who resigned in the summer of 2013 to accept a position at the Glacier Park Conservancy in Montana.

tigated the case last November after a prospective puppy buyer reported concerns about the living conditions of dogs at the home.

Barnes said she inspected the residence which housed 20 adult Great Danes, two juvenile Great Danes, two Chihuahua-crosses and two litters of Great Dane puppies, according to her report.

Barnes described “unsanitary living conditions,” including pervasive feces all over the house and yard, a strong odor of urine in the house and poor ventilation. She also noted in her report concerns about some of the dogs’ body weight and hair loss.

Three of the dogs were housed in an outbuilding on the side of the residence. A female was locked in a “dirty” bathroom because she fights with other dogs, Hernkind explained, but he said he lets her out to exercise with dogs she gets along with, Barnes wrote.

Four adult Great Danes were locked in a bedroom, but

Hernkind said he let them out several times a day for exercise, according to the report.

Two of the Great Dane mothers were underweight and suffered hair loss, Barnes said in her report, and added one litter of puppies appeared to be underweight.

Hernkind told Barnes that he spoils his dogs and they might look skinny because they are the lighter-weight “Euro style” of Great Danes, according to the report. He said he has five fenced acres for the dogs and he feeds them quality food “free choice,” which means it’s available at all times.

Barnes noted that the food bowls were full.

Hernkind said the dogs have five or six litters a year and he sells the pups for $1,000 each; he ships them all over the country, as well as to Canada, Barnes wrote.

Hernkind did not return a call for comment on the allegations

But the truly exceptional thing about the sculpture will be the tentacles. Kamak explained that the Kraken’s tentacles will appear to travel underneath the pavement and protrude on the other side of the street, wrapping around a pole for the walk signal.

“It’s going to be an illusion,” Hunt said. “You’ll have to use your imagination.”

Kamak said the City Council has the option of adding additional tentacles rising out of the pavement in other locations, but that will cost extra money.

The proposed contract is for $33,000. More tentacles will cost an extra $3,000.

Purchase of the art works is funded by a tax on utilities.

Hunt was a marine biologist before becoming a fulltime artist some 30 years ago, so he specializes in marine-related sculptures; however, he’s currently working on black rhino for a big-game hunter and has created dinosaurs and other

non-aquatic creatures. He’s known for a signature style that shows the skeletons inside the body of animals.

He works in both bronze and fabricated metal pieces.

Hunt’s pieces are in museums and collections all over the country.

Although the Kraken is a mythical creature that appears in “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” Hunt said he’s basing Oak Harbor’s monster on the giant Pacific octopus, which live in the waters surrounding Whidbey Island.

The sculpture will have a steel frame.

The octopus, he said, will be made from hammered copper. The Nautilus submarine will be steel treated with a special chemical that will turn rust into dark-colored iron phosphate, creating an industrial look.

“The Kraken will be large enough to look like it’s overwhelming the Nautilus,” he said.

“It’s going to look cool.”

Retired teacher continues to educate about his visual form of expression

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

There’s a certain beauty to the forms and straight lines that make up Richard Nash’s home on North Whidbey.

Concrete was used to create angular paths, walls and water gardens that are lined by hardy native bushes, grasses and bamboo.

The paths lead you around a corner to open space and an expansive view of Skagit Bay. It seems clear that Nash, who once studied art in Japan, brought back some of that Asian influence when he and his wife Sherry designed their contemporary-style home in 2002 then built it themselves over four years.

And, from studying the composition of the house and its surroundings, it also is evident that the abstract artist in Nash was at work.

“I’m not sure which influenced what,” Nash said as he stood from his backyard and looked back at his long rectangular house with large glass panes. “My dad is a retired architect. That didn’t hurt. My wife is excellent at design. Between the three of us, we did pretty good.”

It might not be art, but Nash’s house is one of his more magnificent creations on Whidbey Island.

The Oak Harbor abstract artist, who is featured in a new book, “100 Artists of the

Book signing on Camano Matzke Fine Art Gallery & Sculpture Park on Camano Island will host an opening, book signing and potluck for “100 Artists of the Northwest” from 4-9 p.m. on March 1. Twenty-five artists featured in the book, including Oak Harbor’s Richard Nash, will be at the event at 2345 Blanche Way. Karla Matzke, owner of the art gallery and sculpture park, is co-author of the new book. Artists’ works will be featured March 1-April 13 at her gallery and sculpture park, which is open every weekend from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and weekdays by appointment.

Northwest,” is known regionwide for his craft, however, on Whidbey, his sculptures are only found at private residences.

That will be changing soon.

One of Nash’s metal sculptures is pegged for public display in Oak Harbor this spring. The work is a tribute to four former Oak Harbor educators. Wallie Funk, the former publisher of the Whidbey News-Times, purchased the sculpture and

Richard Nash, an abstract sculptor and painter, stands outside his North Whidbey home, which features one of his steel sculptures.

One of Nash’s 2007 paintings,“Partitions,” is the centerpiece of his living room. Outside the house, Nash borrowed some of the concepts he uses in his abstract art to build a contemporary-style home with an Asian influence. donated it to the City of Oak Harbor.

Nash has sculptures on display to the public on Camano Island and in La Conner, Sheridan, Ore., and McMinnville, Ore. His paintings are featured in art galleries in three states, including Penn Cove Gallery in Coupeville.

He’s been able to devote all of his time to art now after completing his home and retiring from teaching after 30 years as an art instructor at secondary schools in the Oak Harbor School District.

Although he retired in 2002, the teaching hasn’t stopped.

“As a retired educator, it’s been really important for me to help people understand abstract art,” Nash said. ”I’m non-representational.

It means there are nonrecognizable things in it. I work with just shapes, forms and lines.”

His metal sculptures are

made of corten steel and can stand 10 feet tall and weigh a half ton. Several of his large sculptures and some of his acrylic paintings are located at Matzke Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Park on Camano Island.

Karla Matzke is the owner of the unique 3,000-square foot gallery and 10-acre park. She co-authored the book “100 Artists of the Northwest” with E. Ashley Rooney.

The Matzke gallery and sculpture park will feature several of the book’s featured artists’ works from March 1-April 13. Twenty-five of the artists are expected to be on hand for the opening party, book signing and potluck from 4-9 p.m. March 1.

Nash is the only Whidbey Island artist featured in the book. She said she was asked

by Rooney which artists she would recommend for the book.

Nash was an obvious

choice for her.

“I’m very proud of the artists I show here,” Matzke said. “The artists here are not hobbyists. They’re all professionals.”

Nash said he loved his career as a teacher in Oak Harbor and is lucky to be able to devote himself fulltime to art now.

He’s involved in several projects and is surprised how much time is involved in marketing compared to painting and sculpting.

Nash has been instrumental in spearheading a fundraising effort to bring art to Oak Harbor High School.

Two sculptures by BowEdison artist Ries Niemi are pegged to be installed by late summer.

Another project Nash is been involved with has stalled.

The Oak Harbor City Council in December of 2010 approved an effort to honor three of Oak Harbor’s found-

ers with a downtown waterfront sculpture by Nash, but fundraising and questions about the art work’s location has impeded progress, Nash said.

The idea of having one of his sculptures displayed in the town he’s called home for 42 years holds special meaning to Nash. And he’s looking forward to the work dedicated to the teachers being installed this spring.

“Definitely,” he said. “It’s very nice to have my art being a part of the community scene.”

He’ll continue to educate about abstract art.

“Most people like nostalgia,” he said. “That’s what most people tend to buy. The abstract art to me is more poetic. It’s a nice way of working with shapes, forms and lines and creating something visually attractive. It should endure. If it’s a good piece, you shouldn’t get tired of looking at it.”

Bill addresses mental health evaluations

By CHRISTOPHER LOPAZE WNPA News Service

Joel Reuter, 28, was shot and killed in a standoff with Seattle police July 5 after he fired a gun at police from his Capitol Hill apartment’s balcony, earlier telling a 911 operator “zombie police officers” were outside.

Reuter had a history of mental illness since he was a college sophomore, but did not qualify for involuntary commitment under Washington’s Involuntary Treatment Act. His parents, Doug and Nancy Reuter, had tried unsuccessfully to get him detained for evaluation.

The Reuters, who live in Texas, are in Olympia advocating for a bill to change the law.

Cur rently under Washington law, a person has to pose a “likelihood of serious harm” or be “gravely disabled” to meet the criteria for involuntary detention, a standard similar to laws in most states.

House Bill 2725 would allow family members to ask the Superior Court to review involuntary-detention decisions made by designated mental-health professionals.

The court could order an initial detention of up to 72 hours for evaluation and treatment if it finds probable cause. Judges would have to apply the same legal standard as health-care professionals.

“Joel’s tragic death was easily preventable,” said Nancy Reuter in testimony at the House Appropriations Committee on Feb.10.

She said passing the bill would help the government avoid costly law-enforcement interventions, and “give family members some much needed hope, and another chance to get their loved one the help they desperately need.”

In previous hearings this legislative session, opponents said mental-health professionals conduct fair investigations, and then make decisions based on the law.

The bill would require mental-health professionals to provide the court with written documents explaining their decision within 24 hours of a petition by family members.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington also opposes HB 2725.

The state already passed a law that takes effect this coming July 1, permitting healthcare professionals considering involuntary commitment to take into account state-

ments by credible witnesses, including family members, as well as recent records, such as previous commitments and history of violent behavior.

Gregor y Robinson, senior policy analyst for the Washington Community Mental Health Council, an association of licensed mental-health centers in the state, said in an interview that he understands family members’ frustrations, but the new criteria to take effect in July responds to concerns of family members who feel they are being ignored.

Robinson said the focus should instead be on providing adequate training on the new criteria so they are successfully implemented, otherwise “it would be a broken promise to the families.” He said the Legislature should wait to see the effects of the new criteria before taking further action.

Seth Dawson from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a national organization advocating for the mentally ill, testified at the House Appropriations committee that more family involvement is important. He said he supports the bill, but that it won’t resolve the issue.

He said lowering the criteria from “gravely disabled” to “persistently and acutely disabled” would be a more effective measure to prevent future deaths.

An accurate estimate of costs associated with the proposed law is difficult to make because it would depend on the future actions of both family members and the rulings.

The fiscal analysis attached to the bill estimates the courts would have to spend greater than $50,000 per year to handle paperwork and superior-court hearings for petitions.

Three 16-bed Evaluation and Treatment facilities would be required to meet the expected growth in the need for beds, according to the fiscal analysis. Each facility would cost $5 million to build, and $9 million per year to operate.

On Feb. 11, the House Appropriations committee approved the measure and sent it to the Rules Committee.

The Rules Committee will decide whether to schedule it to be read on the House floor, where members can amend it, before it could proceed to a final vote. A companion Senate bill was referred to the Senate Ways and Means, but hasn’t been scheduled for consideration.

Why do caring people

Pre-arrange?

How many things have you insured against in your lifetime? You have auto insurance. You’re a good driver and don’t think you need it, but the state didn’t give you a choice. When you bought your home, the lender Linda Haddon insisted that you insure it and the contents in case of fire. The actual chances of it catching fire are pretty slim. You have medical insurance and you may or may not need it, but without it, you’ll never find a doctor who will take the time to see you. We even insure against disaster and store food, water, blankets, flashlights and all kids of survival goods, just in case.

Oddly enough, all the things we insure against may never happen. But, when one talks about final arrangements, the only certainty in life, no one thinks to insure the inevitable. It only makes sense, for so many reasons.

The benefits of Pre-arranging ! ! ! !

! !

It takes the burden off your loved ones It allows you to put your house in order You can select every aspect of your funeral now and guard against inflation Provide peace of mind, knowing you are not making anyone responsible for your last wishes You plan together, not alone 2013 No emotional overspending

Call today and speak with Linda about pre-arranagments.
