Unsolved murder back in spotlight Police say they haven’t given up on finding killer By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
It’s been 17 years since Oak Harbor lost its small-town innocence. Seventeen years ago this month, a 7-yearold girl named Deborah Palmer disappeared while walking a few blocks to Oak Harbor Elementary School. Following a massive search effort, her body was found five days later in the surf at a Strawberry Point beach. DEBORAH The city collectively PALMER agonized in myriad ways, including a tear-streaked memorial service for the entire community. But her murderer was never found. This week, Oak Harbor Police Department is once again making a public push to raise awareness about the murder — and the reward fund — in hopes SEE REWARD, A5

Concert to aid firefighter in Oso with ties to Whidbey
Angered by tree’s removal, group gathers at stump
By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Despite the wind and rain early Saturday, Terry Ann Gallagher went out to the stump of the 330-year-old Garry oak that was cut down last week to pay her respects. Gallagher tacked to the stump a photograph of the tree she had taken years ago. “There’s a lot of history with that tree,” Gallagher said. “I’ve been on the island for 16 years. This is first time in a long time I wanted to get out and be pissed at someone.” Gallagher said she posted the tree cutting on Facebook and the response of her friends was, “What a disgraceful thing to do.” Under the direction of Mayor Scott Dudley, SEE GARRY OAK, A5

The feeling of loss over the lives taken in the Oso landslide hit home on Whidbey Island. And residents on the island are rallying to help. A benefit concert is planned for Friday night, April 4, at the Roller Barn in Oak Harbor to help Seth Jefferds, an Oso resident who lost his wife and granddaughter during the March 22 mudslide. Jefferds is the brother of Whidbey residents Ian and Rawle Jefferds, co-owners of Coupeville-based Penn Cove Shellfish. Seth Jefferds’ wife, Christina Jefferds, and their 4-month-old granddaughter, Sanoah Huestis, were in the Jefferds’ Oso home along the Stillaguamish River when the slide struck. “He lost his house, his wife and grand-
child,” said his sister-in-law Karen Jefferds, Ian’s wife. “He’s not the only one, certainly. We’re trying to do everything we can to help him rebuild his life,” she said. “A lot of people wanted to be involved to help generate money for him.” Whidbey-based band Johnny Bulldog will perform the concert. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and music starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $50. The use of the Roller Barn is being donated for the event, as is pizza from Hot Rocks Pizza and beer from Flyers Restaurant and Brewery. Tickets are being sold at Flyers, Re/Max Acorn Properties and Ace Hardware in Oak Harbor and bayleaf, the Front Street Grill and Red Apple Market in Coupeville.

Fantastics read all Accused tattooer pleads to lesser offense the way to the top By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff Reporter
The Fantastics were fantastic at the Sno-Isle Reading Challenge’s Final Challenge on Wednesday. After winning a challenge to be the top-ranked team from Oak Harbor Elementary School, the third-graders who make up The Fantastics went on to the semi-finals against Coupeville Elementary to win with a perfect score, making them the winning team from Whidbey Island. For the challenge, the reading prodigies answered three rounds of questions about the assigned reading material; each round consisted of eight questions. The Fantastics answered every question correctly. The team traveled to Mukilteo’s Rosehill Community Center Wednesday evening for the championship, and ended the challenge with a perfect score of 120 points, officially becoming the Reading Challenge Champions of 2014. There were four other teams that competed in the final challenge. The Wood Owl Readers from Discovery Elementary and the Briar Bobcats from Briar
Elementary tied for second place with 115 points. The Reading Rebels from Eagle Creek Elementary came in third with 110 points, and the Reader Leaders from Mount Pilchuck Elementary came in fourth with 100 points. Each team member received an Amazon Kindle and Amazon gift cards as a prize. The prizes are “to encourage future reading and technology literacy,” according to the Sno-Isle Library’s press release. The prizes were funded by the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson will visit The Fantastics at Oak Harbor Elementary to congratulate them in person. The Sno-Isle Libraries Mega-Fun, Biblio-Trivia, Rockem-Sockem ThirdGrade Reading Challenge is an event that celebrates the beginnings of what is hopefully a “lifelong passion for reading,” according to the press release. Glenda Jackson, a thirdgrade teacher at OHE and part of the coaching team, said she was proud. “This is a memory that will last them for a lifetime.”

A woman accused of tattooing a man by force and her alleged partner in crime were recently sentenced to jail, according to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office. Neither, however, was convicted of the alleged ink-related incident. Ashley E. Firth, 33, was smiling in court last week as she pleaded guilty to assault in the fourth degree and violation of a court order, a domestic violence crime. The assault charge was for slapping Matthew Reimer, the man who accused her of tattooing him by force. The court order violation was related to a woman who was present during the incident; a judge had ordered Firth not to have contact with her. Judge Alan Hancock agreed with the sentence recommendation presented by the prosecution and defense; he sentenced Firth to 60 days in jail and ordered her to pay $1,217 in fines and fees. Richard Borgeson, the other person charged in the incident, pleaded guilty to assault in the fourth degree and was sentenced to 30 days

Ashley Firth appears in Island County Superior Court March 24. in jail. Both Firth and Borgeson were originally charged with much more serious crimes, but they pleaded to the lesser counts as part of a plea bargain, Deputy Prosecutor David Carman said. Carman said he didn’t have the evidence to convict them of the felony charges. The problem, he said, is there were no “disinterested witnesses” to the crimes. According to a report from the Oak Harbor police, Firth goes by the street name “Dibo.” She allegedly tattooed the words “punkbitch-dibo” on the victim’s shoulder.

Reimer claimed that Firth and Borgeson were mad at him for borrowing a car for longer than they wanted him to. The incident occurred at a trailer home on Crosby Avenue Jan. 11. Reimer said he found himself surrounded by four angry people, including Firth and Borgeson. Firth allegedly demanded that Reimer empty his pockets. Borgeson allegedly took his cell phone and a credit
card from his wallet, according to the police report. Firth and Burgeson allegedly forced him to get on his knees and apologize for keeping the vehicle so long. While Reimer was on his knees, they decided to tattoo him. Firth allegedly bent over to look him in the eyes and dropped a handgun. Reimer said he believed that she did it on purpose to threaten him, the report states. Firth asked him to pick a spot for the tattoo and he chose his left shoulder. She tattooed the words on him with black ink. Reimer told the Whidbey News-Times that he allowed Firth, an amateur tattoo artist, to write the words on him because he felt threatened by her and the three other people in the home. Afterward, Firth slapped him and told him he could either help rob someone or get “socked up,” which means to get “assaulted very bad,” the report states. Reimer said he has since gotten the tattoo removed.

Expanding Dogwood Pet Resort is not just for dogs anymore By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Lucky Blue’s owner was worried because the cat had never stayed outside of their home or been around any other cats, according to John Cline, owner of Dogwood Pet Resort. But during his 14-day stay in the Kitty Tree Inn at the resort on North Whidbey, Lucky Blue, a friendly orange tabby, seemed to have a great time. “He’s been having fun and teasing the other cats,” Cline said Monday. The Kitty Tree Inn, completed in December, is the most recent addition to products offered by Dogwood Pet Resort, which just passed it’s three-year anniversary in March. “We’re ahead of where we thought we would be,” Cline said. “The community response to the kennel has been wonderful.” The facility offers indoor dog runs, two outdoor dogturf play areas and onsite trainers and groomers. Resident dogs are given two 20-minute play sessions
daily in groups of five to eight dogs at a time. Cline said his staff is great at screening dogs and building play groups that work. Dogs who are not socialized are exercised alone, and plenty of dog toys are always on hand. “Our focus is offering very hands-on activities,” Cline said. “They are like kids… they are happiest when they have toys everywhere.” Cline said the evolution of the Dogwood Pet Resort will continue as upstairs space is turned into an indoor play area, and he plans to build a few pet suites to resemble a room at home. These are, Cline said, “for dogs who don’t get along with other dogs or for humans who want their dog to have the best.” In addition, Cline plans to turn the backyard into a members-only dog park, complete with a swimming pond and a gazebo. The resort sits on a 43-acre farm, allowing for plenty of space between the barking dogs and the nearest neighbors. In addition, Cline said,

REWARD CONTINUED FROM A1 of convincing someone to give them key information about the crime, according to Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner and Police Chief Ed Green. “We want this solved,” Green said, “and we owe it to her to do so.” Banners with Palmer’s image and information about a reward fund were placed at the north and south ends of the city Tuesday. The FilipinoAmerican Association of Oak Harbor donated funding for the banners and Jeff Humphrey of Whidbey Sign Company contributed through by offering a deep discount, Gardner said. Digital reader boards and the reader board at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce have a simple message: “In memory of Deborah Palmer: 19901997.” Island Transit will be handing out leaflets about the murder to riders. A crew from Seattle’s Q-13’s TV show “Washington’s Most Wanted” was in Oak Harbor Tuesday to tape an episode on Palmer. All this, Gardner said, is to convince someone to share the one piece of the puzzle that will lead to the killer. As detectives have said so many times in the past, “somebody out there has to know something,” Gardner observed. Green explained that the department never stopped investigating the murder, but he is hoping to regenerate interest in the case. “We want any and all
information,” he said. “It’s the smallest tidbit of information that solves these cases.” The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Palmer’s killer stands at about $3,500, but the police are hoping to increase the amount through donations. People can give money at Wells Fargo banks or at Oak Harbor City Hall. Various detectives over the years have made public appeals for information about the murder during anniversaries of the crime. Just four years ago, Gardner herself reviewed the entire investigation, hoping that advances in forensic technology and a fresh sets of eyes could help solve the city’s most tragic puzzle. But still, the mystery persists. Deborah Palmer was last seen alive at about 8:35 in the morning of Wednesday, March 26, 1997. Her mother, Madeline Palmer, sent her off from their Kettle Street apartment to walk a few blocks away to Oak Harbor Elementary School. Madeline Palmer discovered her daughter was missing when she went to the school around lunchtime to drop off a McDonald’s meal. The search for the little girl began quickly. The city was inundated with Seattle media as police, dog handlers with bloodhounds and volunteers scoured the community in ever-widening circles. On the Sunday, a citizen found a jacket and backpack matching what Palmer was wearing at a gravel pit off Taylor Road.

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
The next day, a beach walker found Palmer’s body at Davis Landing, which is on a Strawberry Point beach in northeast Whidbey Island. The coroner ruled that Palmer’s cause of death was homicide by asphyxiation. The murder of such an innocent harrowed the Oak Harbor community. In one of many wrenching scenes that year, students from Deborah’s firstgrade class at Oak Harbor Elementary sang tearfully during a public memorial service: “Jesus loves the little children / All the children of the world. Deborah Palmer was remembered as a happy, energetic child, but her murder brought the troubles in her life to light. When she disappeared, her father was in prison for child rape and her mother’s boyfriend was in the county jail for raping Deborah’s cousin and playmate. Madeline Palmer and her son, D’Artagnon, spoke to the Whidbey News-Times about the tragedy four years ago to help Gardner with her effort to publicize the case. Madeline Palmer remained utterly haunted by the loss and blamed herself, saying she wasn’t a good mom and was too involved in a partying lifestyle at the time. Gardner said both mother and son, neither of whom still lives on the island, are aware of the new effort in the case. “They are very grateful that we are pushing this forward to the public again,” Gardner said. “At the same time, it’s very painful.”

GARRY OAK CONTINUED FROM A1 the city cut the Garry oak down early morning Sunday, March 23, without prior public notice. A lengthy press release from the city was emailed about the felling at the time the cutting got underway. The Oak Harbor City Council had known about the plan to cut the tree for months, but the subject was discussed in closed-door sessions because, they subsequently maintained, the city was under the threat of possible litigation. While limbs falling onto the road below posed some safety concerns in the past, the city was not facing any impending lawsuits, according to city officials. “We have a city government that has no regard for us,” said North Whidbey resident John Cline, who was among those who gathered at the stump. High winds and rain drove away the dozens of people who gathered around 11 a.m. Saturday to share stories about the tree and protest the city’s decision to cut it down. They had intended to continue to gather through the afternoon and then conduct a peaceful march to City Hall at 2 p.m.
While the weather cut the event short to less than an hour, those assembled agreed to refocus their energies into attending the City Council meeting 6 p.m. Tuesday to offer public input. Coverage of Tuesday’s council meeting will appear in Saturday’s Whidbey News-Times. Cline, who organized the event, said that he grew up just a few blocks from that Garry oak and had many fond memories of sitting at the base of it, collecting acorns and digging in the dirt. “That particular tree meant something to me,” Cline said. “That was a significant tree.” Steve Erickson, of the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, said the proper word for the mayor and city council members is “cowards.” “Even Mayor Dudley is not above the state open meetings act,” Erickson said. “This is an outstanding example of secret government.” Marianne Edain, also of WEAN, said she wanted to see the city adopt “iron clad” protections on all other oak trees on city property so that this type of cutting does not happen again. Oak Harbor resident Helen ChatfieldWeeks cried during the gathering and led a chant of “shame, shame, shame.” “I would say that this mayor will go down in history as the stump mayor,” she said.

IN OUR OPINION What other actions is Executive Session Mayor planning? Why should anyone be concerned about their government leaders meeting behind closed doors? According to Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley, even the potential that someone “might” sue the city is reason enough to call an executive session. Using that litmus test, virtually any city action should be taken in secret if it could possibly perhaps maybe cause someone litigious to consider suing the city. In the days following the felling of the 330-year-old oak at the post office, not one specific threat of pending litigation has been cited. There was no reasonable belief that anyone would sue. The suggestion that Dudley was protecting the city and its residents by holding closed-door meetings doesn’t jive with the spirit of the state’s Open Public Meetings Act. Clearly, the mayor understood the great public interest in the iconic Garry oak, but his actions indicate that he didn’t care about that. Instead, he summoned the City Council into closed session a couple of weeks before the tree was felled, floated the idea that someone could sue if they found out and effectively corralled council members into an oath of secrecy. According to the state Attorney General’s office, the act does not allow government agencies to take “action” during closed session, which includes “a collective positive or negative decision, or an actual vote. It appears that Dudley tried to get around this by deciding to chop the tree as an “administrative action” and then telling the council members about his decision in an executive session. While the council didn’t make a decision behind closed doors, the public trust was broken. It’s also doubtful that such a closed-door meeting is appropriate under the “potential litigation” section of the act. The law requires the council to believe they are “likely to become a party” to a lawsuit to hold such a meeting, which is questionable when the liability is purely theoretical. It’s up to citizens to demand that their government leaders conduct the people’s business within the public eye. It’s also up to the members of the council to speak up if they believe the executive session privilege is being improperly used. Meanwhile, we have to wonder what other weekend surprises might be up the sleeve of our “Executive Session Mayor?” Tearing down the iconic windmill at Windjammer Park? Towing off that “attractive nuisance,” the Flinstone car? Perhaps bulldozing Smith Park’s remaining oak stand? The old post office Garry oak is gone. Let it be a wakeup call for citizens to become more actively involved in their government, and demand that decisions involving the community actually involve the community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Garry oak
Late WNT columnist would be heartbroken Editor, If Dorothy Neil were still around, she’d be stampeding Oak Harbor City Hall and petitioning to impeach Mayor Scott Dudley on the spot. She was a journalist for the Whidbey News-Times when Oak Harbor was still a one-horse town with swampy shores and a dirt road to Coupeville and she celebrated the “post office” Garry oak for decades in her writings. She also helped save the tree several times from others, like Mr. Dudley, who tried to mow down the oldest and most beloved namesake in Oak Harbor, to the point of camping out in front of it to stop the chain saws when it was slated for destruction. I am certain she is now crying out from her grave against the unjust and sneaky way this new mayor of ours stole the pride of this town right out from under all of us. I truly fear for our future under such a man’s lack of concern for our feelings, our rights and our town. I guess we’re too civilized for pub-
lic whippings, but he certainly ought to be run out of town. Right up to the day she died as a 90-something local treasure, Dorothy Neil was a champion of nature and the preservation of Whidbey Island’s immense beauty as well as its historical roots. I can almost see her sitting on that foot-tall stump, weeping inconsolably. I am with you, Dorothy. Terry Ann Gallagher Oak Harbor
Loss of trust will be legacy of this mayor Editor, Since the felling of our city’s wonderful Garry oak tree, I have pondered why it has affected me, as well as others, so viscerally. It is more than the breach of trust by the mayor and council. It’s more than the callous disregard for the sentiments of the community. It’s more than being angry at the loss of a landmark and a piece of living history. It’s more than realizing that the mayor’s office has no sense of what they hauled away, and the value of what is left. It really gets down to finding mean-
ing in life. When my family first lived in Oak Harbor in the mid-50s, we lived just down the block from where the Garry oak towered. The big tree was my homing beacon for a couple more years, and then we moved to Victory Circle, and a new “big tree” was the end of my world, a much smaller oak that paled in comparison to my old “friend.” When I happened upon the felling of the old post office tree, I first thought that maybe time had finally won the battle against the Garry oak, and it saddened and then angered me. As they loaded the heavy limbs onto waiting trucks, I could hardly contain myself. There was no sense of reverence for something that was hours ago alive and awaiting another season of rebirth. The tree’s anticipation of another season was to be punctuated by the scream of the chainsaw. The asinine efforts to try to lift the heavy base of the tree with ridiculously inadequate and undersized ropes was, in itself, scandalous. The further butchering of the base into pieces too small to create anything of real meaning sickened the SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

SOUND OFF MARK Decision to cut tree wasn’t easy, but it was the right call THE DATE GUEST COMMENTARY
By SCOTT DUDLEY
I wanted to respond to the editorial opinion in the March 26 edition. You stated that I have “little to no regard for public opinion, nor the spirit of open government.” That could not be farther from the truth. I ran for the office of mayor with a focus on public safety, economic development and increasing government transparency. These continue to be my priorities. Since being elected we have videotaped and televised all City Council standing committee meetings. As the council did away with its standing committee meetings and replaced them with a monthly city council workshops, those workshops have been videotaped and televised. Also, since the city council did
away with the standing committee meetings, I have been videotaping and televising a series of “Oak Harbor City Updates” on four different topics per month covering government services, finance, public safety and public works. We continue to videotape and televise our planning commission meetings. We created the ability for the public to view our city council meetings without having to attend them physically by streaming our city council meetings “live” over the Internet. All of these tapings can be easily accessed by pulling them up on our city’s website. We have our city’s vouchers as part of the city council packets so the public can see exactly how we are spending our taxpayer’s dollars. Over the next month, the City of Oak Harbor will be the first city in the state of Washington to provide its citizens with a user-friendly budget tool which will allow everyone to see how the City of Oak Harbor spends its citizens’ dollars versus our budget for each and every department. Our citizens will also be able to
see every check written by the city. I created a “Mayor’s Corner” on our website to assist in communicating with our citizens and being able to receive emails directly from them as well. We have also been communicating via Facebook. The city has Facebook sites, including for the City of Oak Harbor and Oak Harbor Police Department. All of the above improvements to the city’s openness were adopted under my term. Not only will I continue to communicate with our citizen’s, I will continue to communicate with our city council as well. When there are issues involving potential litigation, pending litigation or land acquisition, I will discuss these issues with our city council in executive session. Since you report that Councilmember Almberg said, “we have had more executive sessions under this mayor than we had under (previous mayor Jim) Slowik’s entire term,” I do not deny that. Your newspaper has covered what our city faced as a result of actions under the previous administration. If Councilmember Almberg does
not wish to be kept abreast of what is transpiring in executive session, he does not have to attend. It has been a long, troubling process correcting the legal issues the previous administration created and, unfortunately, most of those legal discussions needed to be held in executive sessions. The decision to cut down the oak tree was not an easy one, but it was the right one. The risk and liability to the City of Oak Harbor was significant. Making all of the information regarding the risk public prior to the tree’s removal would also significantly add to our liability. I apologize if this action is perceived as if the City of Oak Harbor does not care about public opinion. Our number one priority, will continue to be the safety of our public. I am disappointed that not once have you reached out to speak with me. I would welcome your call as well as anyone else wishing to discuss anything that we are doing at the city that may be raising a question.
As nice as it is to have a whipping boy, who in this case undeniably has his lumps coming, so too must we accept our lumps for putting into power one who would forget his or her role — that of public servant. A public servant should be subordinate to his or her constituents, and cognizant and accepting of the fact that any subterfuge, unilateralism, disrespect and, most importantly, any disregard whatsoever that he or she is entirely beholden to the constituents will result in immediate adverse action to prevent further transgressions. Until more of us take a vested interest in our governance, we will increasingly be subjected to this manner of oligarchical rule, and we owe so much to those who have sacrificed everything. To do anything less than our very best for the following generations would be the greatest disservice imaginable.
where if something closer than Fallon, Nevada or China Lake and Lemoore, Calif. is needed. Why not just over the hills near the huge open and largely deserted desert land of the Military Preserve near Yakima, where only rattlesnakes and lizards will complain? We’re told that the Navy tried to give the OLF away not long ago, but Island County didn’t want the old weed patch. So, how can anyone claim it to be essential to either the Navy base or Whidbey’s economic survival? The claim that prospective homeowners were properly advised of the noise potential is a lot of baloney. Not only had the real estate community seen to it that the notices were watered down, but the fact that the OLF was rarely used and expected to be abandoned was common in the citizenry … a fact not likely ignored in the sales presentations. As for the claim that the new EA-18’s aren’t any louder than previous OLF users, my wife and I got a dose of it when driving on northbound State Highway 20 approaching the first turn that goes around OLF. The sound of a passing EA-18 suddenly became more intense than anything we’ve ever heard nearly causing a serious accident at the curve. We felt it shaking the car like the plane was exploding and about to fall out of the sky onto us. According to some still around whose land was taken for the main base, it was neither voluntary nor willing.

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6
woodworker in me. The city has stated that it looked into trying to save this tree. How are we supposed to believe that? They came like thieves in the night. They kept the public out of the loop by keeping their secrets behind closed doors. They cut down the oldest piece of living natural history we have, and what do we get? The Kraken. If the Navy can display two jets on a couple of poles on the highway, surely the City of Oak Harbor could have propped up a few tree limbs. If the city and mayor’s office really thought their arguments to remove our friend were justifiable, they should have trusted those arguments to the public. If their reasoning was flimsy, it would explain their taking the cowardly route they took. The graveness of their actions will be remembered. That is this mayor’s legacy. He will be remembered for his distrust of the people of Oak Harbor and clandestine backroom dealings. He circumvented our right to know. John Cline Oak Harbor
Take a vested interest in your government Editor, I just read Editor and Publisher Keven R. Graves’ missive on how a great deal of trust in the Oak Harbor city government was lost this past weekend based on the alarmingly surreptitious and unilateral manner in which Mayor Scott Dudley had the oak tree removed
from the post office parking lot. Apart from Graves’ column hitting the nail squarely on the head, it shed the glaring light of reality once again on what is becoming all too common — community detachment from its own governance. What Mayor Dudley did was wrong. He grossly violated the trust afforded him by his constituents. While Dudley might well consider what was done to be in the best interest of the citizens of Oak Harbor, where he failed miserably was in assuming that he, and he alone, knew what was best. Therefore, he neither needed, nor sought, input from his constituents. He badly exacerbated his lack of respect by doing so behind closed doors, which quite clearly indicates unscrupulous aforethought. For the combination of deceit pursuant to poor judgment, he should be as ashamed and repentant as we are appalled. Here is the key, though: As much as he is to blame, we are more to blame. In what has become frighteningly par for the course, we citizens are quick to point the finger at government for real and perceived failings. However, the fact of the matter is that we are ultimately responsible for our leadership. The survival of the tenets upon which this country was founded hinges largely on our heeding President Lincoln’s eloquent asseveration that we cannot allow government of the people, by the people, for the people, to perish from the earth. In putting into power leadership of an oligarchical nature, we are doing exactly that against which President Lincoln cautioned us.
Richard Johnston Douglas, Ariz.
Jet noise
Growler noise nearly caused car accident Editor, We’re not seriously affected by the Navy’s jets where we live, but what sort of insensitivity can’t appreciate their effect on others at their own digs around the Coupeville Outlying Field? The claims that the Navy base will fly away to Never-never Land if the OLF is closed are ridiculous. Carrier landing practice fields are comparably simple to build else-

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes
PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only
28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com.

’Cats split in soccer
Wolves rally for rivalry win over South Whidbey By JIM WALLER Sports editor
South Whidbey produced more chances but the Coupeville High School soccer team produced more points in a 2-1 win over the rival Falcons Friday, March 28, at Mickey Clark Field. It didn’t start well for the Wolves. It took South Whidbey only two minutes to score, but from that point the Coupeville defense, led by goalkeeper Joel Walstad, shut the door. That didn’t stop the Falcons from trying to ram it open. Time and again they peppered Walstad, who valiantly handled the attack. Meanwhile, the Coupeville offense created only a few scoring opportunities but took advantage when it had a chance. Josiah Campbell hit the upper right corner of the net from 20 yards out late to knot the score late in the first half. Though South Whidbey played into a strong wind and still dominated the first half, it looked poised to break open the match in the second period once it had the wind at its back. That didn’t happen as Walstad and company continued to frustrate the Falcons. Adding more hurt was Zane Bundy, who scored the game winner off an assist from Campbell to wrap up the win over previously unbeaten South Whidbey (1-1, 3-1). “We played tough defense, with Joel Walstad playing fantastic in goal,” coach Kyle Nelson said. “We really only had a few opportunities in the second half, but we made good on one of them. It was a tough game against a quality opponent. We are ecstatic to come out on top.” Coupeville (1-1, 2-1) hosts Sultan (1-1, 1-21) at 6 p.m. Friday, April 4.

Malakowski also picked up the pitching win. The Wolves scored in the seventh. Jae LeVine led with a walk and eventually scored on MaKayla Bailey’s deep fly to center field. Madeline Roberts and Hailey Hammer went 2-for4. Breeanna Messner, Madeline Strasburg and Haley Sherman added singles. The Wolves (1-2, 1-2) meet first-place Granite Falls (5-0, 5-1) in Coupeville at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 2.
Missed chances hurt Coupeville The Archbishop Murphy baseball team cashed in
It was emotionally charged and rugged at times, but the Oak Harbor High School soccer team slipped by Everett 2-1 in overtime at Wildcat Memorial Stadium Friday, March 28. The win came with a cost. Two Wildcats were ejected and were forced to sit out the next match, a 2-0 loss at Stanwood Monday, March 31. Against Everett, Gavin Stewart put an end to scrum with a goal off an assist from Alex Krantz three minutes into the first overtime. After a scoreless first half, the Seagulls scored first in the second period. To make matters worse for Oak Harbor, a Wildcat was ejected for arguing with an official, forcing Oak Harbor to play catch-up while a man down. Everett held off Oak Harbor until the final six minutes when Caley Powers tied the match. Soon after, “the emotions were very high and tempers got the best of both teams,” coach Brian Thompson said, and a scuffle broke out, leading to the ejection of two more players, one from each team. Stanwood (2-0, 3-1-1) took the early lead in the Wesco North soccer race with its win Monday. Thompson said the match was “evenly played” and both team had “an equal number of shots on goal.” The Spartans, however, were able to convert twice. Laurence Wanambisi scored in each half to give Stanwood the win. Oak Harbor (2-1, 3-1-1) meets Marysville-Pilchuck (2-0, 2-3) at home at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 7.
on its opportunities and Coupeville didn’t in the Wildcats’ 5-1 win Monday, March 31, in Everett. The win gave Murphy a 1-0 lead in this week’s three-game series between two of the Cascade Conference’s best teams. The clubs meet in Coupeville at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, and return to Everett Friday, April 4. “We didn’t put the bat on the ball and capitalize on opportunities when we needed to and they did, and that was the difference in the game,” coach Willie Smith said. The Wildcats (5-0, 5-2) also had two judgment calls go their way that figured in the scoring. Smith said those calls “cost us,” adding, “we should have never been up by just one at that point in the game, so I don’t use those calls as an excuse.” Coupeville (2-2, 3-2) led 1-0 going into the bottom of the fifth and could have
been ahead by more. The Wolves placed a runner at second in each of the first four innings but scored only once. Coupeville pitcher Ben Etzell posted eight strikeouts and surrendered only two hits going into the bottom of the fifth when Archbishop Murphy scored five times. An error, double and bloop single tied the game. On the next play, a runner was called safe at second when the Wolves thought he should have been called out. A walk put another on. A double down the line on a ball Coupeville believed was foul scored two more runs, and the damage was done. Wade Schaef drew a two-out walk in the fourth and scored on Josh Bayne’s double for the Wolves’ only run. Bayne finished 2-for-3, Etzell ripped a double and Korbin Korzan added a single.

OBITUARY
Sundberg
Roy Albin Sundberg
Roy Albin Sundberg, 89 years young, slipped peacefully into the presence of God on March 26, 2014, in Coupeville. Roy was born in Cove, Wash., on Vashon Island on Feb. 14, 1925, to Albin Frederick Sundberg and Lydia Viktoria (Person) Sundberg. His early years were spent on Vashon Island, where he attended Columbia Grade School and later graduated from Vashon High School. After high school, he drove trucks on Vashon for Lande Dairy until he went to work at Associated Ship Builders on Harbor Island, earning 90 cents per hour. Roy attended the Norwegian Danish Church (Central Methodist) at Boren and Stewart in Seattle with his parents, and it was there he met Virginia Freeman. They were married in October of 1946, and they spent the next 67 years together, raising their family and enjoying God’s many blessings. There are three themes that have run through his life. First, there was his per-
sonal faith in his Savior Jesus Christ, which he loved to communicate through singing and the way he lived his life. Second was his commitment to immediate and extended family. Oh, how he loved each and every one of them. And third was the profession he chose to pursue. Roy worked tirelessly in the building trade for 45 years. For 42 of those years he ran his own business, Roy Sundberg Construction, in West Seattle. Roy is survived by his loving wife Virginia, “Ginny,” Sundberg of Oak Harbor; son Gary Sundberg (Kerry Heavey) of Bend, Ore.; son Terry Sundberg (Kathy Olund) of Winlock, Wash.; and daughter Merrie Burley (Mark Burley) of Coupeville. He enjoyed every one of his seven grandchildren and their spouses, his nine greatgrandchildren and his large extended family. Roy was buried at Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville, and a memorial service was held at First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor on Monday, March 31, 2014. His family is so grateful for his loving care at The Regency on Whidbey (assisted living facility) and the exceptional terminal care given at the med/surg unit of Whidbey General Hospital. Arrangements were made through Burley Funeral Chapel of Oak Harbor.

Oak Harbor robotics team makes it to semifinals By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff Reporter
Oak Harbor High School’s robotics team advanced to the semifinals during the FIRST Robotics Challenge in Ellensburg last weekend. FIRST, an acronym meaning “For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” held a regional competition at Central Washington University for 35 robotics teams from Washington state and Oregon. The Oak Harbor Wildcats were among those teams. In the semifinals, Oak Harbor faced off, and lost, against Anacortes. According the team’s lead mentor, Che Edoga, the team was happy with the competition, even though they didn’t win. “That was a match we wanted to happen,” Edoga said. “It was beautiful. The kids got to have that good fight they wanted to have.” Each “build season” for FIRST robotics teams includes specific challenges the robots have to accomplish in order to earn points and advance in the competitions.
This year, the game was called “Aerial Assist,” and the objective was to work with allied teams in each match to score goals with the two foot-diameter exercise balls. Points were earned for each goal, as well as for passing the ball to allied teams. Each team had six weeks to build their robot. At the start of the “build season,” the Wildcats presented four designs to members of the communities who acted as sponsors to the team. The community then voted on which design the team should build for the competition. “This year they chose an easier design to build,” Edoga said. “The focus was to keep it simple. They chose a robot based on its ability to pass to other teams.” After this, the team met six days a week, after school and until well into the evening, according to Edoga. “It’s a huge time commitment for the kids that are involved with it,” he said. The team would also meet on most weekends. At the end of their sixweek build period, the team presented the finished robot to their sponsors, a step that

Edoga said is “kind of their way to be held accountable.” The robot, according to Edoga, was a complete collaboration of efforts from the 14 kids on the team. “We really had all of the kids working on some aspects of that, either fabricating parts or doing the wiring,” he said. At the regional competi-
tion in Ellensburg on March 28-29, the Wildcats reached the semi-finals, and won an award for their work outside of the competition aspect of FIRST. The team not only coaches a young kids’ version of their robotics team, but also a FIRST Lego League for kids in eighth grade through high school.
Last year, they also held weekend robot camps for kids, where they built small robots on Fridays and Saturdays and held competitions on Sundays. “It was all just a really a good time for all of us,” Edoga said. Next on the agenda for the Wildcats robotics team is, hopefully, a state champi-
onship in Portland. “We’re pretty sure they’ll make it, but they’re right on the cusp,” Edoga said. He said that whether or not they’ll qualify depends on the outcome of one more regional competition held this weekend, and they’ll know for sure on Monday, April 7.

When Hollywood came to Puget Sound to shoot movies in 2013, Oak Harbor actor made most of it By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Fernando Duran started living a dream in 2013. And he hopes it’s only the start of bigger things to come. Duran, a 31-year-old actor from Oak Harbor, got small parts in four feature films shot in the Puget Sound area last year. It was his goal to make the leap on to the big screen after spending 10 years working on character development in community theater on Whidbey Island. He got his chance in 2013 when a flood of films were shot in Everett and Seattle and he was cast as an extra in four. In two, he was a “featured extra,” meaning he appeared on the screen with principal characters but didn’t have a speaking part. The four films, all coming out in 2014, are: “Laggies,” “Lucky Them,” “7 Minutes” and “The Architect.” “I was literally working side by side with people like Keira Knightley and Thomas Haden Church and Oliver Platt,” Duran said. “It was just the greatest time I can think of. It was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m actually here now doing this.’” It was a long time coming. Duran started out with stars in his eyes, earning a scholarship while attending high school in Ventura, Calif., at an acting academy
in Beverly Hills. “I spent four years there learning to work in front of a camera,” Duran said. Being bilingual, he was cast in shows on Telemundo, an American Spanish-language broadcast television network, and did some infomercials for the Public Broadcasting Service. While pursuing his degree in theatre arts at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Duran learned that he enjoyed playing characters but wanted to learn the finer points. He followed his parents to Whidbey and dove right into the theater and still hasn’t surfaced. “I really wanted to focus on character development and continue to broaden my craft so I did about 10 years in theater pretty much consecutively,” said Duran, who’s lived in Oak Harbor since 2003 and performed in theaters in Mount Vernon, Oak Harbor and Langley. “I think I did 16 consecutive shows at one time. For three years, every night I was either in rehearsals or in a show.” This week, Duran is playing the lead role of John Adams in “1776,” the Whidbey Playhouse musical that opens Friday night. He gets so caught up in his character he catches himself sounding like John Adams offstage sometimes A painting by Coupeville artist MIKE WISE was accepted into the Oil Painters of America National Exhibition of Traditional Oils in Bennington, Vermont. Wise’s “C.F. Todd,” left, inspired by a scene at a marina in La Push, will be on display at the exhibit in the summer. The SEATTLE MEN’S CHORUS is holding a ben-

Fernando Duran plays the lead role of John Adams in the Whidbey Playhouse musical, ‘1776,’ that opens at 7:30 Friday night. He also got some face time on the big screen as an extra in four films shot in Everett and Seattle in 2013. when he’s working at Island Drug in Oak Harbor. He is the provider relations manager there. “I’ll say to myself, ‘Gee, I’ve got to pull it back,’” he said. Duran is hoping the next step in his acting career will be landing some speaking roles on screen. If it means traveling to Los Angeles for auditions, he’ll do it, like he’s done many times before. He enjoyed his brief brush with fame and close proximity to some of Hollywood’s notable stars. He remembers shooting a scene in, “Lucky Them,” when he sat on a pillow cross-legged next to Church. It went on for 45 minutes and afterward Duran struggled a little to get to his feet. “I was all achy and stiff,” Duran said. “He looks at me and says, ‘I know, right.’ I’ll never forget that.” He plays a wedding guest and brunch guest
