Man denies puppy mill charges By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A North Whidbey dog breeder asserts that he is not running a puppy mill, despite continuing legal troubles. “It’s not even close,” Matthew Hernkind said, adding that the allegations against him
are largely based on misunderstandings. “This whole thing is a crock of crap.” Hernkind, owner of Matt’s Great Dane Ranch, was in Island County District Court Monday for a hearing on modification of pretrial release conditions. He was charged earlier this month with
violating a 2010 law aimed at preventing puppy mills. Carol Barnes, the Island County animal control officer, started investigating the case last November after receiving a complaint about the living conditions of the dogs. SEE PUPPY MILL, A5

Signed football, auction to benefit Boys & Girls Club By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Gone were the curls but not the Super Bowl smile. Greg Goebel recognized Russell Wilson right away when he sat down next to him after boarding a flight from SeaTac to Newark, N.J., two weeks ago. Goebel, an Oak Harbor resident, was headed to the East Coast for his job as a pilot for FedEx.

Frank Hardy says he probably will never return to the Oak Harbor Naval Hospital for medical care. After what he claims was a botched 2009 surgery at the hospital, Hardy said he didn’t wake up. Hardy said he was sent to Skagit Valley Medical Center for post-op and followup care. “I don’t know why they call that place a hospital,” said Hardy’s wife, Cherie. “It’s a clinic, if that.” Following a recent policy change at the naval hospital, all military retirees within a 30-minute drive are required to switch to a primary care physician on base if they want to stay on Tricare Prime insurance. If those retirees choose to stay with offbase doctors, they are required to switch to the more costly Tricare Standard plan. The Hardys applied for a waiver to the new policy and were denied. They said they visited the naval hospital last month to talk to the commanding officer and appeal the deciSEE TRICARE, A5

ISLAND DIGEST Log rails removed after Deception Pass crash A few of the log rails near Deception Pass Bridge are temporarily missing following an accident early Monday morning. Trooper Mark Francis with the Washington State Patrol reported that a 2005 Subaru Legacy was headed north on State Highway 20 and left the roadway just south of the bridge. The car “cart-wheeled” past the rails and landed on a trail about 20 feet down an embankment, according to Deputy Chief Mike Brown with North Whidbey Fire and Rescue. The accident was reported at about 4 a.m. There were two occupants in the car. Francis said one person reported a minor foot injury. He didn’t have any additional information. Brown said that the hefty log rails had to be moved in order to pull the Subaru up the embankment.
DAV awarded $10,000 grant for new van Island County’s Disabled American Veterans chapter was awarded $10,000 by Island County through the Veterans Assistance Fund. Commissioners approved the expenditure Monday as partial payment for a new transport van costing a total of $27,266. The van is used by the organization to drive disabled veterans to the Veterans Administration hospital in Seattle.
County seeks proposals for court house security Island County is accepting bids for security services at the Law and Justice Building in Coupeville through April 1. Olympic Security Services has staffed the entry point screening at the Law and Justice Building since 2001, but, according to county code, General Services must periodically request bids from other contractors.
Based on current staffing, the contract will cost Island County up to $52,000 for services in 2014. The security checkpoint is staffed 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except during holidays. On Mondays and Wednesdays, the checkpoint has two screeners. The RFP will be advertised during the month of March, and bids will be accepted through the April 1 deadline for a contract beginning June 1.
County seeks grants for Trillium, Glendale Island County parks is partnering with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust to submit grant applications through the state’s Recreation and Conservation Office to the Local Parks Grant Program. The partnership will apply for a grant for a parcel adjacent to Trillium Community Forest totaling approximately $370,000, which would be used for trail development and the construction of two parking lots. They are also requesting grants to purchase two properties at Glendale, which would provide beach access, parking and a public boat ramp. The Glendale grant requests total roughly $900,000 to be used for purchase, demolition and parking lot construction.
South Whidbey projects awarded Island County commissioners approved Rural County Economic Development sales tax funding for 2013 to two South Whidbey projects Monday. The City of Langley was awarded $257,577 for the Wharf Street Funicular Project. The Port District of South Whidbey Island was awarded $130,000 for Harbor Passenger Ferry Mooring project. The project funding was green-lighted by the Council of Governments last month.

THE MAGIC OF MUSSELS
Chowder competition draws crowds to event By MEGAN HANSEN Contributing Editor
Wind gusts and sporadic rain didn’t stop mussel enthusiasts from enjoying Penn Cove’s native mollusk last weekend. Despite the less-than-stellar weather, Coupeville’s annual Musselfest’s 1,500 chowder tasting tickets sold out on Saturday. Crowds roamed the town, going from business to business, tasting chowder entries and other seafood delights. Some restaurants set up booths outside their businesses to offer additional culinary options. Coupeville Booster Club set up shop in the Coupeville Recreation Hall parking lot, offering piping hot mussels. Bayleaf reported selling 800 orders of Musselfest mussels, prepared in front of the shop. Crowds lined up for a serving. “The gusts of wind was all that got us,” said organizer Cindy Olson. By Sunday, the second day of the event, the wind settled down. “We still definitely got the crowds,” Olson said. “We were able to get two fire pits going and people were enjoying their Booster Club mussels.” “That made me happy.” The event offered activities for children as well as mussel farm tours, which left from Coupeville Wharf. Some art cars from Seattle parked along Front Street, adding additional visual attractions to the day. Families went from car to car examining the unique mobile artworks. “They added a fun little twist,” said event organizer Vickie Chambers. The group that organizes the art cars was so pleased with the event, they have four more cars already signed up to come back next year. A surprise flash mob took to Front Street, offering several minutes of dancing entertainment. The Shifty Sailors roamed downtown performing sea shanties. Music played in both the wine and beer garden in the Rec Hall parking lot and the beer tent. Chefs offered mussel cooking demonstrations throughout each day, handing out samples of their dishes to the public. Visitors traveled from all over to attend the event. Each day at 3 p.m., crowds gathered in the Rec Hall for a mussel-eating con-

Saturday’s winner, Ryan Leckie, was from Bellingham. Sunday’s winner, Sara Sessions, is originally from Oak Harbor. Contest participants each received three 16-ounce cups of mussels, shells and all. The person who ate them the fastest took home a $100 gift certificate to a restaurant in Seattle. Michelle Nannenga of Coupeville won two Alaska Airlines round trip tickets in a raffle sponsored by Penn Cove Shellfish. Raffle proceeds go to Coupeville Boys and Girls Club and a Coupeville schools scholarship. Tasting tickets were collected both
days, with participants voting on their favorite chowder. Coupeville Coffee and Bistro won first place. Kim’s Cafe, located at the end of the historic wharf, came in second. While many chowder participants went the traditional soup route, some businesses mixed things up this year. Knead N’ Feed offered a mussel macaroni and cheese as its entry. “People are getting into it,” Olson said. “I love the variety.” “We do appreciate when people do try to do different things.” Leftover 2014 Musselfest merchandise is available for sale at the Coupeville Chamber and Far From Normal.

AUCTION CONTINUED FROM A1 gentleman.” Goebel asked Wilson if he wouldn’t mind signing a football for a Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor auction. Wilson agreed. Goebel purchased a special Super Bowl XLVIII game ball and personally delivered it to Seahawks headquarters in Renton with a note to remind Wilson and a FedEx box to send the ball back in. Wilson then honored his promise, signing a ball that will be one of the marquee items at the 15th annual Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor “Bids for Kids Dinner & Auction” Saturday night at the Roller Barn in Oak Harbor. “To the Oak Harbor 12th man,” Wilson wrote on the ball. The event, sponsored by Island Thrift, is the Boys & Girls Club’s biggest fundraising event. Chalfant said the ball is one of the more anticipated items. He guesses it will take at least $1,000 to acquire it from the buzz it’s already created.
CLUB CONTINUED FROM A1 of hoops to jump through,” Dyer said. “It was more of just waiting to hear from headquarters.” Whidbey is one of 38 chapters of the Sea Hawkers. All it took to become an official chapter was a minimum of 15 members to sign up, a $50 chapter fee, a name, meeting place and club plans. Dyer, a 2002 Oak Harbor High School graduate who is a manager at China City, organized three major Seahawks rallies in Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Clinton during the Seahawks’ run to the Super Bowl. It was so much fun, he said, that he wanted to stay connected with Whidbey-

Bakery partnership is a WIN-win By BETTY FREEMAN
Whidbey News Group contributor
At 11 p.m. when most people are asleep, Kelly Baugh is grinding fresh red wheat and starting a large batch of bread. Baugh bakes her bread at Living Green Bakery & Cafe on Second Street in Langley. On Sunday and Wednesday nights, she makes 40-50 loaves of whole wheat bread for Whidbey Island Nourishes‚ commonly known as WIN, a program that provides nutritious food for families in need. Though others have now discovered her bread and bakery, Baugh said, “What I do for WIN comes from my heart.” “WIN is my first priority.” WIN began seven years ago when Clinton resident Mary Fisher and a group of South Whidbey women wanted to provide weekend food for children who received free or reduce-priced lunches at school. They initiated the Backpack Program‚ which provides weekend lunches to families that sign up. WIN sends home familysized bags of food with qualified elementary school children on Thursdays to tide them over for the weekend. The lunches contain meat and cheese or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on whole wheat bread, yogurt,
fresh fruit, mixed vegetables, string cheese and trail mix. If there are younger children in a home, WIN provides food for them as well. For teens and others with food insecurity, WIN offers complete lunches at Good Cheer Food Bank in Bayview, and a la carte items in coin-less vending machines at South Whidbey Commons in Langley and Clinton Community Hall. WIN also provides lunches for the Family Resource Center, and nutritious snacks for the HUB, Homework Club, Whidbey Island Academy and the South Whidbey Children’s Center in Langley. WIN food is prepared by volunteers who work three days a week in the kitchen of the former South Whidbey Primary School. During 2013, WIN volunteers made 20,000 sandwiches, up from 16,000 during 2012. During a WIN fundraiser in 2013, Baugh’s whole wheat bread was served with bowls of hearty soup. WIN board member Jerry Stiers thought the bread was wonderful, so he approached Baugh about providing bread for WIN. “WIN has long had a goal of using locally sourced ingredients in its bread,” said Stiers. “We have been buying bread from Costco, but wanted bread with no preser-

ingredients: freshly ground red wheat flour, honey, salt, water and yeast. Baugh gets wheat from Coupeville farmer Georgina Silby and honey from Morningstar Honey Farms in Oak Harbor. WIN’s mission to provide nutritious food for children resonates with Baugh because she had to learn to find her own food from an early age. “If I had the kind of community support like WIN offers, it would have changed my whole life for the better, Baugh said. “All kids need is one person to help them believe in themselves. Not having to worry about food every day gives kids hope that they can do better.” Originally from Chicago, Baugh started working in the food service industry 30 years ago at age 11, making pizza dough in an Italian restaurant. By age 18 she was the assistant manager of an A&W restaurant. Baugh also worked for 14 years as a prep cook and assistant baker. In 2001, she received her
associate of arts degree in baking and pastry arts from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, then worked as a baker/manager for Great Harvest Bread Company and later for the Lucky Eagle Casino as baker and pastry chef. Baugh has lived on Whidbey Island for 11 months. As the new owner of Living Green in Langley, she transformed the space into a cafe-bakery and gathering place for adults and children, including her own five children, son-in-law and two grandchildren. “South Whidbey has become a place for my family to belong,” said Baugh. WIN’s standing order for 40-50 loaves of bread each week helps the bakery financially, provides employment for her family, and helps kids who need good food do their best. “It is a win-win situation,” said Baugh with a smile. ■ Betty Freeman is a WIN volunteer and a contributing writer for The South Whidbey Record.

TRICARE CONTINUED FROM A1
Photo by Janis Reid/Whidbey News-Times
Capt. Edward Simmer, commanding officer of Oak Harbor Naval Hospital, fields questions at a recent retiree meeting.
PUPPY MILL CONTINUED FROM A1 Barnes went to Hernkind’s home and found 20 adult Great Danes, two juvenile Great Danes, two Chihuahua-crosses and two litters of Great Dane puppies. She reported that dogs were living in “dirty living conditions” and that some of the dogs were underweight. Hernkind, however, said Barnes isn’t familiar with the breed. He said the dogs she felt were underweight are actually still juveniles and that being skinny is normal. “My vet says they are fine,” he said. “They do not get full sized until 2 or 3 years old.” Hernkind denies that the house is filthy, as reported by Barnes. He said she was standing next to a recently used mop bucket when she complained about the smell of urine. “It was blown way out of proportion,” he said. Hernkind said he currently has 25 dogs, plus a couple of litters of puppies. He points out that the dog breeding law allows for up to 50 adult dogs. “I ain’t never going to get
that close,” he said. He said he doesn’t believe he has too many dogs. Barnes searched the house a second time last month after obtaining a search warrant, based in part on photos Hernkind posted of the dogs on his website. She wrote in her search warrant application that they looked “malnourished, underweight, skinny, with ribs showing.” In court Monday, Barnes claimed that the living conditions and the dog’s health had gotten worse since her first visit to the house. Judge Bill Hawkins set pre-trial release conditions Monday. He ruled that Hernkind cannot breed any of the dogs, either intentionally or by accident, and cannot obtain any new dogs. The dogs have to get veterinarian attention and kept in living conditions compliant with the law. Barnes is also allowed to do site visits. She plans her first for this week. Hernkind said he’s planning to get an attorney to deal with what he feels are false allegations. He plans to continue breeding Great Danes and currently has puppies for sale.
sion and were again denied. Before leaving the naval hospital, Hardy revisited the scene of his last visit. “It freaks me out to walk into that hospital,” Hardy said. “I went by the room I had laid in. It strikes terror into both of us.” The Hardys opted to switch to Tricare Standard and subscribe to an additional insurance policy through Frank’s private sector employer. But not all retirees have that option, Hardy said. Capt. Edward Simmer, commanding officer of the Naval Hospital, said he is aware that some retirees have had “less than perfect” experiences at the hospital in the past, but is adamant that the hospital can, and will, do better. Simmer faced more than one room of angry retirees last month after the policy change was announced. In addition to the Tricare change, Simmer has also overseen the shutdown of the emergency room, an expansion of the birthing center and extension of hours for urgent care. The naval hospital also signed agreements with
Page A5
Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville and North Island Medical to allow Navy physicians and surgeons to perform procedures off base. Hardy, however, said he thinks Simmer’s hard line approach to the Tricare Prime policy has turned into a “black eye” for the Navy. “I regret they feel that way,” Simmer said in response. Of 750 letters that were sent to retirees, about 70 applied for waivers and about 25 are approved so far. Asked why he is holding firm for fewer than 50 patients, Simmer said he tries to apply the same criteria in each case and be “fair” in his choices. Hardy is not alone in expressing concerns that the naval hospital is making changes without considering the needs of patients. “I feel like they are playing with people’s lives and they have that cavalier attitude about it,” Hardy said. “It’s the retirees who are getting the shaft.” Over the years, retirees endured a history of being pulled on and off of base for care, based on the naval hospital’s capacity to care for them, according to Navy retiree and former naval hospital physician Dan Fisher. A number of retirees also voiced concerns about active- duty physicians who are constantly rotating out
every three years as their Navy assignments change. “Many of the folks I see don’t want the constant turnover,” Fisher said. “They want the consistency of care. People want a good doctor they can keep. Not a doctor they are assigned.” “That’s my beef with military medicine,” he said. “We promise people we will keep doctors there and eventually something comes up they’re not.” The naval hospital saw 141,275 outpatients last fiscal year and employs 12 family medicine physicians and four pediatricians. Of those 16 doctors, 12 are active duty. Also, more than half the support staff of physician assistants, nurses and administrative employees are active duty as well. “In most cases, it’s probably true” that some retirees will be subject to turnover of Navy doctors, Simmer said, but he insisted that, under the “team based” model, the hospital staff can offer more consistent care than before. “That’s what spooks me about going back, you never know what you’re going to get,” Hardy said. Retiree Ron Hewitt has only been to the naval hospital for care once, on referral, since he leaving active service in 2003. Hewitt said he was diagnosed with a chronic illness

in 2005 and has seen the same off-base primary care physician for 10 years. Hewitt said his wife, Mary, had some “very bad experiences” with care at the naval hospital in the past and is also seeing a physician off base. Wanting to keep their doctors under the recent Tricare changes, Hewitt said he and his wife applied for a waiver last month and were denied both the waiver and their appeal. “The guy had no interest in listening to what we had to say,” Hewitt said. Hewitt said his biggest concern is that he’s had the same physician for nearly 10 years, and going on base for care will likely mean a revolving door of active-duty physicians. “Every time I go, I’m going to see someone different,” Hewitt said. “My whole thing is continuity of care. I’m going to be reduced to numbers and words on a piece of paper.” Hewitt said it is unclear whether he and his wife will seek additional coverage, remain with the naval hospital on Tricare Prime, or downgrade to Tricare Standard and pay higher premiums to keep their doctors. “My wife wants to give it a couple of months,” Hewitt said.

Signed Wilson football comes with a great story PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
All too often, you hear about the professional athlete who runs afoul of the law, or who comes off as kind of a jerk. And then you hear about a great athlete who’s also a great guy — someone like Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. With many still basking in the glow of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory, it’s refreshing to hear about an athlete who is apparently unaffected by sudden fame. Oak Harbor resident Greg Goebel was fortunate to be seated next to Wilson on a recent flight to New Jersey. While Wilson could easily have remained aloof, he proved to be anything but. “It was like sitting next to any other polite person,” Goebel said. “He was just a real gentleman.” Goebel said he asked Wilson if he would autograph a football, one that he would donate to an upcoming Boys and Girls Club of Oak Harbor auction. He didn’t have to do it, but Wilson agreed. How very cool is that? Wilson signed the football, “To the Oak Harbor 12th Man.” Word has traveled around the community, and Goebel said he expects the football to reach an auction bid of at least $1,000. Included with the football is the box and the pen used by Wilson. That’s money that will all benefit a very good cause. The Boys and Girls Club auction is 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Roller Barn in Oak Harbor. The dinner is being catered by Max Dale’s Steak & Chop House in Oak Harbor. Tickets for the event, which are $65 each, will not be sold at the door, but may be obtained by calling 360-240-9273 until 6 p.m. Friday. Whomever is fortunate enough to place the winning bid won’t only be getting a great piece of sports memerobilia, they’ll also know the great story behind the football. ■ Keven R.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Money
Property value, taxes don’t come out in wash Editor, I would like to thank the liberals, the tree huggers and the low-to-no information voters for raising my property taxes 18 percent this year. Like it’s been said, with friends like that, who needs enemies. Let’s examine a few of the increases: 1. Conservation future tax - Let’s see if I have this correct. The county forcibly confiscates money from me to buy land they don’t need, can’t afford to maintain, takes it off the tax rolls, so they can forcibly extract more money to take care of said property, and forcibly extract even more money to take care of the loss of taxable property, all so a few people can go commune with nature, assuming the county hasn’t closed it from public access because they can’t afford to take care of it. Why don’t you nature nuts go buy your own property with your own money instead of helping yourself to my checkbook? 2. The hospital has been losing millions every year, so the answer is obvious (to liberals, anyway), give them more of my money. They have some pie-in-the-sky plan to build a new build-
ing which will solve all the problems and make health care so much better. Does that mean we are getting substandard care now? It becomes even more painful how poor the administration is when you look 30 miles north and see another small hospital that runs in the black consistently and does facilities upgrades regularly. They also seem to have a much better reputation according to the people I talk to. 3. Schools — Tell me where I’m wrong; the unions buy legislators and judges to get their agendas enforced, then the money is again forcibly confiscated from me to give the the schools, mostly the union members, payroll being the biggest expense, who give the money to the unions to buy even more legislators and judges, who pass more … well, you get the idea. How about the kids, you ask? The unions couldn’t care less about kids other than a lot of lip service. At any rate, here comes the tax person with his gun to help himself/herself — have to be politically correct here — to guesswho’s money. Can anybody say money laundering? There were some of my taxes that went down, one of them a whole 12 cents, so I guess I should be happy. So what if my property lost $2,000 in value? I don’t suppose any of you free-

Artwork
Kraken sculpture may be copyright infringement Editor, I do not think the so-called artwork in Oak Harbor should be called “Kraken.” I suspect it may be copyright infringement (to use that name). If the Kraken or Nautilus submarine stood alone, I guess you can call that art. But, once you wrapped that Kraken around that Nautilus submarine, it became artwork from “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne. The art Kraken is on a comic book cover for “20,000 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” by Jules Verne. I cannot believe that no one on the art committee did not know this. We have become a society that people download other peoples’ music and they don’t think they are doing anything wrong. People copy someone’s art and they do not think they are doing anything SEE LETTERS, A7

Boeing Fatigue infects Legislature THE PETRI DISH
By JERRY CORNFIELD More than the usual exchange of cold and flu germs occurred among lawmakers this session. An outbreak of a rare virus indiscriminately infected Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate on Day One and shows no signs of abating before they adjourn next week. It is a strain of Boeing Fatigue Syndrome, a political disorder characterized by extreme exhaustion from repeated legislative genuflecting at the altar of the aerospace giant. Historically it’s manifested itself among a handful of members of the Legislature unafraid of vocally criticizing a corporation which is vital to keeping Washington’s economy alive and healthy. This illness spread in recent months and symptoms are present in nearly every one of the 147 lawmakers. Many started experiencing
fatigue soon after casting a vote in a November special session to extend tax breaks which could save the company an estimated $8.7 billion on futures sales of the new 777X jetliner. When they arrived in Olympia in January, they believed their action inoculated them from further requests from the aerospace firm in 2014. So just the mention of Boeing caused lawmakers’ eyes to bulge, faces to redden and blurts of “Haven’t we done enough for them already?” This explains why lawmakers roundly ignored Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for funds for two aerospace-related initiatives aimed in the direction of the Boeing Co. Writers of the House and Senate budgets did not include $500,000 for Washington State University to establish a School of Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace in Everett. Nor did they put in $500,000 for the University of Washington to develop an advanced manufacturing facility in Snohomish County. The governor hasn’t made a big deal of it – maybe he’s battling it too – and no lawmaker representing Snohomish County has either. Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, drafted an amendment to the House budget to cover both items but withdrew it
before it could be voted on. And remember how the governor and some Democrats regularly touted the importance of a multi-billion dollar transportation funding package to Boeing and the aerospace industry? Not only did they stop using that line, there’s almost no chance there will even be a package agreed upon this session. Another sign of fatigue: Republicans have long argued that without reforms to the state’s workers compensation system Boeing could up and leave. Republicans still want reforms but aren’t wielding Boeing as a rhetorical hammer. To their credit, Boeing lobbyists recognized the mood of lawmakers early in the session and are making themselves pretty scarce. There’s good news for the firm, as most legislators will make a full recovery March 14. That’s the first day they can raise money for their re-election campaigns. There may be no better cure for this syndrome than a contribution from Boeing. ■ Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com.

Cancellation
Editor, Everyone’s heard of Ronald Reagan’s mythical “welfare queen.” She’s lazy, uneducated, unwilling to do anything to improve herself or her lot — she just wants those government checks to keep rolling in. Oh, and she also dresses well, drives an expensive car, lives in a nice house or apartment, and spends her money on luxury items. Reagan and his advisors, who created this welfare queen myth, are the reason the nation moved to make getting a welfare check harder. In reality, as we now know, Reagan’s welfare queen myth was really being used as a dishonest pretext to cut needed government programs for the poor so he could further reduce taxes for his rich friends. Well, that was then, this is now. There is breaking news — Ronald Reagan’s “welfare queen” has been found. She is alive and well and living on either Camano Island, Whidbey Island or somewhere in Kitsap County. That’s right, it is none other than

Ran into Flintstone car’s maker in Arizona
Shocked the Loganberry fest is canceled this year
Editor, Regarding the story of the Flintstone car, we were fortune enough to meet the gentleman who made it. Quite a few years ago, we were in Tucson, Ariz. Having our fifth wheel repaired, when my husband met the gentleman who made it. He was working at the company we were at. He explained that he and his buddies were waiting for orders and needed something to do. They built the Flintstone car from driftwood they had found, and filled barrels with cement for the wheels. A man who came by, said he worked for the City of Oak Harbor and asked if the city could have it. We told the man it’s still there, along Flintstone Drive. He was so excited that he called his wife to tell her. We took his name and address so
Editor, I am shocked and distressed at the cancellation of the Loganberry Festival at Greenbank Farms. This is my first year in Oak Harbor, and the best event I attended was the wonderful Loganberry Festival with its homemade, homegrown foods from local venders, local equine competitions, local art and wonderful local country bands. It was the highlight of my first year here. I am appalled that it is being shoved out for the Whidbey Island Area Fair, with traveling venders, kiddie rides and all the other stuff that is at every such event. Bad decision, bad choice! I sincerely hope you can rethink this. I’ve wanted all year to see the Greenbank Farm event again. Sandra Swift Oak Harbor
Emerson is Island Co.’s own ‘Welfare Queen’
Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson. This is the same Kelly Emerson whose political party decries all the “takers” who want free money from the government. This is the same Kelly Emerson who bemoans all the wasteful government spending and claims to be the champion of hard working tax payers who already pay too much of their hard earned money in support of government programs and government employees. And, yes, this is the same Kelly Emerson who is feeding at the government trough by demanding her commissioner’s salary but not showing up for work to earn it. She skips more meetings than she attends in person and on occasion phones it in from god knows where. By any reasonable definition, I believe that is “welfare.” Where is the outrage from the Tea Partiers who constantly harp about taxpayer dollars being used for inappropriate purposes? Why is there total silence from those on the right? We all know how vocal they would be if a Democrat pulled these shenanigans and demanded to be paid for work that is not being done. I anxiously await their views on their very own “welfare queen.” Nels Kelstrom Clinton

OBITUARIES
Buchanan
Dorothy Marion Buchanan
July 4, 1923 – Feb. 12, 2014 Dorothy Marion Buchanan left us on Feb. 12, 2014, to join her parents, Reginald and Sylvia Bailey, sister Phyllis Foster and brothers Dick, Merv and Jack Bailey. She was a consummate homemaker and could cook a gourmet meal and sew anything from a lined wool suit to a Barbie wedding dress. In her later years, she remained a witty conversationalist, surprising us all with her “one liners” even as she struggled with dementia. She was a naturalized citizen, having been born in Vancouver, Canada, and graduated from Lincoln High School in Seattle. Always stunningly beautiful, she caught the eye of a dashing FBI agent in the late 1940’s as she worked in the clerical pool at Morrison-Knutson in Seattle, and they have been inseparable ever since. Dorothy is survived by her loving husband of almost 64 years, M.C. “Buck” Buchanan; children Barbara, Greg and Lynda; stepdaughter Judy; six grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her beloved and faithful feathered friend, “Sinbad.”
Dorothy and Buck enjoyed trips and adventures in their vessel, the Temptress, traveling through the San Juan Islands and the Canadian waters from May through September for almost 20 years of their retirement, visiting other boating friends and living on their daily catch. The family wishes to express loving thanks to Hospice of the Northwest and the many neighbors and friends without whose help we would have been truly lost. Mom was the heart and soul of the family and will be greatly missed.

Whidbey graduates shine in college athletics By JIM WALLER Sports editor
A pair of Whidbey brothersister tandems highlighted the efforts of Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school graduates who competed in college athletics this winter season.
Swimming Oak Harbor’s Price and Ciara Hu swim for the Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, N.J.) and the University of Chicago, respectively; while the Coupeville duo of Rachel and Cole Weinstein compete for Redlands University (Redlands, Calif.) and Whitman College (Walla Walla). Price Hu, a junior, finished second in the 200-meter butterfly (1:53.73) at the East Coast Athletic Conference championships Dec. 8 and fifth (1:53.16) at the Upper New York State Collegiate Swimming Association/ Empire 8 championships Feb. 22. Stevens won the team title in both meets. Ciara Hu, a sophomore competing primarily in the 400 individual medley and 200 butterfly, captured at least one first place in all but one regular-season meet.
At the University Athletic Association championships Feb. 15-16, she placed third in the 400 IM (4:30.49) and ninth in the 200 fly (2:06.52). She is also the school record holder in the 200 IM (2:06.66). Rachel Weinstein, a junior, finished 16th in the 200 breaststroke (2:31.82) and 18th in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.94) at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships Feb. 20-23. She also swam on the 14th-place 200 medley relay team (1:54.92). Cole Weinstein, just a freshman, placed his name among the top times in Whitman’s swimming history. He recorded the school’s second-best marks ever in the 1,000 freestyle (9:52.4), 1,650 freestyle (16:24.5) and 400 individual medley (4:03.03). He also owns the sixth best time in the 200 breaststroke (2:10.42) and ninth best in the 500 freestyle (4:56.21). At the Northwest Conference Championships Feb. 14-16, those times helped him finish first in the 400 IM and third in the 1,650 free (cutting 40 seconds of his pervious personal best); he also placed seventh in the 200 breaststroke (2:13.5). Oak Harbor’s Tori
