Commissioner hands in her notice Emerson says she’s off for ‘greener pastures’

On her way out, Emerson calls for pot ban

Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson stunned many by announcing her resignation Monday.

Emerson gave a oneweek notice just seven months shy of finishing her term.

Her resignation came after a heated meeting that highlighted tensions that have long existed within the board.

She announced in December her decision not to run for reelection at the end of this year.

“I will delightfully relinquish the title at the end of the week and head off to greener pastures,” Emerson said. “Thank you so much for the opportunity, it has really truly been an honor.”

After she was named the chair woman of the board last year, she was soon stripped of that title after the other two commissioners questioned her work ethic, ability to lead and willingness to proceed according to board consensus.

“I’m really sorr y for those of you that hoped that we would further our cause and be more effective in right-sizing Island County, but there’s always tomorrow,” Emerson said.

Emerson did not return a phone message requesting further comments.

Just after announcing her resignation during commissioner comments, Emerson excused herself

before the other commissioners had a chance to speak.

“You don’t want to hear what we have to say?”

Commissioner Johnson said.

“I never have,” Emerson said.

“Thank you for saying it into the record,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said.

After Emerson’s departure Johnson and Price Johnson made their own

announcements and then commented on Emerson’s announcement.

“I’m sorr y for her, I’m sorr y for this county, community,” Johnson said. “We are all hopeful that ever ybody finds this job rewarding and worthwhile. I know there’s some disappointment out there as well.”

For a brief period during Monday, it appeared that recreational marijuana would be banned in Island County.

Discussions about a new ordinance headed for approval took an abrupt turn when Commissioner Kelly Emerson reversed her earlier position and called for a ban of marijuana in the county.

Commissioner Jill Johnson quickly seconded the motion.

The ordinance ultimately passed 2-1, but not before a lively discussion.

“I’m just aghast,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who pressed for a speedy process after a moratorium was placed on recreational marijuana last year.

County offices will reopen on Fridays

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Island County offices will soon be open to the public on Fridays.

Commissioners Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson agreed Monday that the community needs the extra day to access county services, giving the board the majority it needed to pass the change.

“Progress … it will be very well received in our community,” Price

Johnson said.

County offices were closed Fridays in 2009 as a result of staffing cutbacks.

Last year’s budget revealed that the county has finally started to recover from the recession and the commissioners are slowly reviving programs and services that were cut.

Commissioners are expected to approve changes to the county’s official hours of operation during their regular meeting, 10 a.m. Monday, May 12. The new hours would go into effect about a

month after adoption.

The new hours will open county administrative services 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday, including offices of the treasurer, auditor, assessor and the commissioners.

The public counters for public works, planning and public health will reopen on Fridays, but the Monday-Friday public schedule will be 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. instead of its current 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Threats land suspect in jail

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A man who allegedly left multiple terrorizing messages on an elderly woman’s answering machine also threatened to eat the nose off a cellmate if he was booked into jail, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged David N. Anton, 48, in Island County Superior Court April 17 with two counts of making threats to kill.

Anton pleaded not guilty April 28.

On April 15, a 77-year-old woman reported to police

that she was terrified because Anton, an Oak Harbor resident, had left four threatening messages, according to the police report.

Anton had previously dated her daughter; some, if not all, of the messages appeared to be directed at the younger woman, the report indicates.

In one message, Anton threatened to “come over there and rip you apart.” In another, he threatened to kill her and her family members, the report states.

Anton allegedly said, “I’m going to (expletive) roll up in

a body bag and ... (defecate) on your porch,” according to the report.

Police officers said they found Anton walking on Midway Boulevard and took him into custody. On his way to jail, he continually talked about killing someone when he gets out and killing himself, the officer noted.

At the jail, he said if he was put in a cell with someone, he would kill them.

“He said that he would eat their nose off,” the officer wrote.

Anton is being held in jail on $7,500 bail.

Weekend chimney fire contained

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

There were no injuries in a fire Saturday night on the 3000 block of Taylor Road.

Three fire engines responded to the fire at around 9:40 p.m.

“This was pretty much contained to a chimney,” said Deputy Fire Chief Mike Brown.

He said the fire spread to

the wood box containing the flue pipe of the chimney.

“It probably did about $4,000 worth of damage to that wood box and to the chimney itself,” Brown said.

“It was about a $400,000 house, and we contained it to just that wood box.”

Beyond that, there was no real damage.

The fire was under control within 20 minutes of the arriv-

al of the 15 North Whidbey Fire and Rescue responders, according to Brown.

Responders remained at the scene for about three hours to clear out the area.

Brown said the fire was caused by the owners not regularly cleaning their chimney.

“Everybody should be cleaning their chimneys on a regular basis,” Brown said.

District saving money on bonds with refinance at a lower rate

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Oak Harbor School District is saving some tax dollars by refunding bonds purchased in 2005.

The bonds, used to buy state and local government securities, are being refunded and replaced by newly issued bonds, according to Roy Koegan, an attorney for school district.

The new bonds are being issued to pay off the old bonds. The debt service will be lower, saving taxpayers money, according to Koegan.

“Since the 2005 bonds were issued, the rates have increased, so they’re issuing new bonds to pay off the old bonds,” Koegan said.

According to the Refunding Bond Update provided to the school board from brokerage firm D.A. Davidson & Co., the savings will be spread out between 2014 and 2020, for an estimated total savings of $159,420.56.

Koegan said that the value was converted into today’s dollar value, which turned it into a “conservative” $152,585.58.

“The only reason they’re doing it is to save money for the taxpayers,” he said.

The only difference will be a lower debt service, according to Koegan. He also said that the debt service is paid with levied tax dollars.

“They can only levy taxes to pay debt service on the bonds,” said Koegan, “so since the debt service is lower, the citizens are taxed a lesser amount.”

The school board, at Monday’s meeting, approved the motion to refund the bonds unanimously.

Hotline launched by OH School District Oak Harbor School District has launched a new student safety tip line for students, staff and parents who feel unsafe.

The number, a hotline where callers can leave messages about any issue, is available for anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable with “normal avenues of communication,” according to Superintendent Lance Gibbon.

“We looked at new ways to get whatever information we can about student safety issues,” Gibbon said.

This line is for messages, which can be left anonymously, though the district would prefer names and contact numbers to allow staff members or others to follow on problems.

Gibbon said the line will be checked “once or twice a day.” “(The line is) just another way we can make sure our students and staff are safe,” said Gibbon.

The hotline number is 360-279-5050. If you have an emergency, please call 911.

Whidbey residents create ‘wearable art’

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

It all started with Nan Leaman’s locks.

At least, it did for Jodi Wilke, one of three team members participating in Port Townsend’s Wearable Art Show.

Wilke’s and Leaman’s team also includes Bobbi Lauducci.

The trio is designing and producing a coat made from hand-crafted felt for the Wearable Art Show, and the starring feature is wool locks from Leaman’s Old English Long Wool sheep.

“They define the design, I think,” said Lauducci.

Leaman has been interested in fabric, cloth and texture for her whole life, and has been creating and designing “wearables” like scarves, shawls and outfits since the early 80s. Leaman uses wool from her own sheep for a lot of her pieces, and creates her own felt from it.

Leaman got together with Wilke and Lauducci at the Pacific Northwest Art School.

They’ve been meeting regularly for five or six years and decided to submit their own design for consideration to this year’s Wearable Art Show.

“We make felt, we collaborate, we share ideas,” said Leaman. “We get together and we just, we play. And we experiment. So it’s a nice collaboration of the three of us.

And we decided, hey, let’s do it. Let’s go ahead and submit a piece. And we got in.”

The three created their design for a felted wool coat together. The design includes a tulip-shaped hem and plenty of unaltered locks from Leaman’s sheep.

The entirety of it is made from hand-made felt, most of which the team members made themselves.

“It’s been kind of a collaboration of ideas, a collaboration of making it, some of it

together, some of it independently, but we’ve all agreed on the design,” said Wilke.

In the process of making the coat, however, some unexpected difficulties were found.

“The felt itself makes for changes in the coat,” said Lauducci.

Because felt is such a stiff fabric, making a coat that wasn’t too architectural in design, as Wilke said was the goal, is hard.

“Even though we know what felt is like, you have to deal with the lack of drapeability, with felt, when you actually start putting the garment together,” said Leaman.

Overall, this experience has been exciting for Leaman, and she says that when the Wearable Art Show is past, she and the rest of the group may go on to create more pieces.

“I love the creative process, I love color and texture and just getting my hands

Purpose of this fund is to empower women and girls through local investment in their future.

Lunch truck business announces plans to build brick-and-mortar restaurant

By JANIS REID

R Staff reporter

eid Schwartz says he has a serious pizza issue.

He loves good pizza, and he’s on a mission to create it.

Having just announced his new brick-and-mortar location inside the Old Town Mall, where Cameron’s Cafe was formerly located, Schwartz said he’s ready to bring that great pizza to Oak Harbor year-round.

“This is a big move for our team, one we have been planning to make for several years,” Schwartz said. “We discovered a great opportunity on Pioneer Way and cannot wait to be able to make some amazing pizza for our customers each and every day.”

For the past five years, Hot Rock Pizza has been a mainstay at farmers markets, festivals and private parties as a wood-fired food truck.

Now, Schwartz and his family can make their “pizza issue” a fulltime job.

While the pizza place was originally planning on moving into the Angelo’s location, Schwartz said he got lucky when the Cameron’s location popped up.

Eateries have struggled in recent years on Pioneer Way, but Schwartz said he believes that his business model is strong enough to buck the trend.

“We have a really big following,” Schwartz said.

Also, he said his philosophy will be contagious to pizza lovers.

“Eating good food, made with high quality, natural ingredients, in moderation, and you will enjoy a long and healthy life,” said Schwartz.

They make their pizza “old school.”

The dough takes 24-48 hours to rise using the delayed fermentation process. This process causes the yeast to work slowly in cool temperatures, helping the dough develop more character and flavor, Schwartz said.

Hot Rock also takes special care with its homemade garlic tomato sauce, made with fresh tomatoes, lots of garlic and a few other special ingredients.

The main difference between the two operations will be that while the food trucks will remain wood-fired, the indoor brick-andmortar operation will use gaspowered brick ovens.

Schwartz said that food is an essential part of who people are.

“Too often we make food into something that we just have to eat as we rush through life,” Scwhartz said. “I believe that to be a mistake; the old adage ‘You are what you eat’ turns out to be more truth than fiction.”

In 1985, he met his wife, Christy, when she was working at the Straw Hat Pizza Parlor in Gardena, Calif. They moved to

Oak Harbor grads take home national DECA awards

By MICHELLE BEAHM

T Staff reporter

wo former Oak Harbor High School DECA members took home top awards after competing with college students from across the nation in business and leadership-related contests.

Nathan Young and Sasha Olson, who graduated from Oak Harbor in 2010 and 2011, respectively, went to DECA’s national collegiate competition in Washington, D.C. on April 23.

The four-day competition ended with Young winning first place in an individual retail management competition, and Olson placing third with her teammate in the international marketing competition.

The competition had contestants from all 50 states and Canada, with a total of about 1,600 students.

Young and Olson, who now attend Gonzaga University in Spokane, started the DECA club at the college three years ago.

“It was my idea just because Gonzaga didn’t really have anything to offer that related to the business realm and going to conferences,” said Olson.

It took the pair most of a year to get the club officially started.

Young said their first competing year included only nine people. This year, 16 members qualified for the national competition.

“We’re growing rapidly.

We’re having really great success,” said Young. “The school administrators that have been watching us are kind of shocked at our success.”

Young said he joined DECA at Oak Harbor High School because Eric Peterson, the DECA teacher, “almost forced” him to join the club.

“I had no idea what I wanted to do as a sophomore in high school,” he said.

Now, Young is in his final

year of university, majoring in business and marketing.

He already has a job working in the product management sector for Liberty Mutual Insurance in Seattle.

“I think if I hadn’t done DECA, it would have taken me a lot longer to find a solid job that I really thought I would enjoy,” he said. “I would have eventually found it, but being in DECA really made it that much easier.”

Young recommend students participate in DECA, especially in high school, where DECA is “huge.”

“Even if you don’t go into business, the skills it prepares you with, the networking it gives you, all of those things are extremely helpful,” said Young.

He said that DECA improved his presentation and social skills, among other things, and that DECA “really set me up on a path for success.”

For both Young and Olson, their success in the recent competition is the result of years of effort.

“To me it feels like a culmination of six years of hard work,” said Young.

Olson said that DECA “was one of the best experiences” of her life.

“We worked really hard all

IN OUR OPINION

It’s time to come up with a vision for Oak Harbor’s downtown Saturday’s Whidbey News-Times front page article about Pioneer Way has sparked the kind of dialogue that a journalist hopes for.

The article, written by reporter Janis Reid, examined the current state of Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor, and the difficulty in attracting customers to the downtown area.

The article resulted in a lot of comments being posted on whidbeynewtimes.com and the News-Times Facebook page.

These kinds of articles are tough. Nobody wants to come out and say that business isn’t good. However, I received only one call from a business owner who said the closure of their business shouldn’t be lumped in with all the “failures” mentioned in the article.

For the most part, though, downtown business owners talked frankly about the challenges as they see them.

On our Facebook page, we posted the link to the article and asked the question, “Do you shop in downtown Oak Harbor? Why or why not?”

More than 71 responses were posted in response as of Monday. In addition to the many complaints about the one-way street, there were constructive suggestions for livening up the downtown core.

Some suggested moving the Oak Harbor Farmers Market to Pioneer Way. Whether any or none of these ideas are feasible, it’s clear that the people of Oak Harbor care about the downtown. It speaks to a community-wide desire to devise solutions.

The one-way street is a fact of life now, but that doesn’t have to be a deal-ender. Pioneer Way has a lot to offer, and the potential to offer much more.

Perhaps now is the time for the City of Oak Harbor and Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce to work with the Downtown Merchants Association and come up with a vision plan.

By taking into account the city’s unique conditions, its assets, the rich history and the desires and wants of the city as a whole, it’s possible to come up with a strategic improvement plan.

Though 100 percent agreement is likely unobtainable, any cohesive, thought-out plan that involves the downtown merchants, building owners and community at large would certainly be better than no plan at all.

It’s possible to turn around Oak Harbor’s downtown, it’s just going to take a little bit of work and a whole lot of heart.

How about it, Oak Harbor, are you up for this challenge?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WGH property

Appraisal no guarantee of ‘reasonableness’ Editor, Whidbey News-Times is to be commended for its article and editorial revealing the way Whidbey General Hospital officials and board members apparently conspired to pilfer the public coffers to purchase property at a wildly inflated price tag.

The editorial points to the fact that the purchase was done quietly, secretly and without the benefit of a property appraisal. It also should be noted that the $2 million purchase price went to a family name with long standing involvement in Island County government.

It should be noted that property appraisals aren’t much of a guarantee of either accuracy or reasonableness.

Our experience has been that the first thing an appraiser does is ask is for the purpose of the appraisal.

Why is that information important to the value or worth of property unless the appraiser is feeling the necessity of pleasing the customer more than being

accurate and objective?

It’s not unusual to hear that one can get the best appraisal that money can buy—according to how much one wants to spend.

For instance, take the Boyer property deal of a few years back, when that parcel was purchased by a consortium of government agencies, including Island County, Washington state and the Navy.

Supposedly, it was to alleviate the risk of damages from a crash from planes departing or approaching the Naval Air Station, as though those 20 acres were the only inhabitable land at risk.

That depletion of taxpayers’ money went to a local Oak Harbor business family with long standing connections — and, according to Whidbey NewsTimes articles, at some five times the historic assessed value.

But, of course, a “property appraisal” justified it.

Let’s hope that the newspaper’s staff keep their noses busy because there still is a foul smell in the air. The public treasury is often the least guarded of all. A gullible public is pilfered by their own government.

Al and Barbara Williams Oak Harbor

Pioneer Way

Hopes city will find way to attract businesses Editor, Oak Harbor is fast becoming a ghost town with so many new business closures around town.

It was good to see this problem addressed in Saturday’s edition.

I hope the City Council will find ways to attract new business. We have a beautiful waterfront location that could be made attractive with shops that would bring in the tourist and locals.

But to attract the people, you need to offer a good product, such as Chris’ Bakery did some years ago.

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Way, which was an asset to our town, but the locals did not support her and it closed.

Let’s hope that Oak Harbor will, in future years, be a thriving community with attractive shops that will keep the locals shopping here and bring tourist that will want to spend their money, as well.

Jeanne Karras Oak Harbor

Pioneer needs more than sage smudging Editor, You asked, and you already know. There are many reasons that Pioneer Way is not teeming with locals and tourists shopping or dining out.

That project became enshrouded in negativity when the “powers that be” embarrassed our community and consciously chose to break federal and state laws by ignoring Native American rights.

Secondly, the same “powers that be” pushed through the one-way parking decision in spite of strong local community experience and objection.

I park a dozen or so times a month on Pioneer Way, usually taking advantage of the disability parking when available. It is true that parking is minimal and visibility a stretch, but I find that pulling out is difficult for another reason.

Pioneer Way is frequented by aggressive motorists in a real hurry to get from Point A to Point B.

The oncoming traffic does not slow or stop to allow traffic to back up and leave; parking is not their objective.

These negatives are not easy to get beyond. I feel embarrassed, along with my community, that our elected officials have acted and continue to act like tyrants.

It’ll take a lot more than smudging the area with sage to get rid of the stink that has been created.

According to the oak, it might take 330 years to get over the offense.

Thanks, I appreciate being asked.

Robotics Team

Forecast for students on OH team is bright Editor, This has been a “Cinderella Year” for Oak Harbor’s Wildcat Robotics Team.

The season started with its usual fast-paced intensity in early January ,with the team working six days per week to design and build a 120 pound robot to compete in FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — events, while still mentoring two junior robotics teams.

The Wildcats were enthusiastic as they entered their first competition and their hard work paid off — they walked away with the

MARK

NASA-sponsored “Engineering Inspiration” trophy at their first district competition in Mount Vernon in March.

In early April, they did it again by winning the “Entrepreneurship Award” at the Ellensburg district competition, giving them a bid to the Regional Championship in Portland, Ore. Amazed at making it to the Regional Championship, they pressed forward and won an unprecedented two trophies for “Engineering Inspiration” and “Team Spirit.”

This gave them their first ever invitation to compete in the FIRST Robotics National and World Championships in St. Louis, Mo., April 22-26.

Eleven students, four parent chaperones and one OHHS mentor made the trip to St. Louis.

The students had a fantastic time finishing 40th of 100 teams in their division, while still finding time to visit the City Museum and the famous St. Louis Arch.

Big smiles all around for their most successful season ever since the team organized in 2009.

This is a great story and one the kids will long remember, but it gets better.

As the team shone at the regional championship, we watched in amazement at Veteran’s Arena in Portland as our team was listed on the big screen as invited to the National and World Championship in St. Louis.

The jubilation quickly dimmed

by the realization of how much it would cost to send the team and robot to St. Louis in less than two weeks.

The Robotics Booster Team mobilized to seek donations and the generosity of Oak Harbor came forth to meet the need.

Members of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Soroptimist, numerous businesses and business professionals, school teachers, as well as family and friends opened their hearts and contributed.

Final expenses exceeded $10,000, but the generosity of Oak Harbor came forth and met a very large portion of these expenses in just eight days.

Some have called FIRST Robotics a “varsity sport for the mind.”

Just like varsity athletes, our students put in countless hours towards their competitions and learn many useful life skills along the way.

The forecast for Wildcat Robotics is bright, thanks to the support of so many people who give their time, talents and resources to help us encourage and inspire students who will be the future scientists, engineers, technical specialists and parents of tomorrow.

On behalf of all the students, teachers, mentors, parents, supporters and volunteers, thank you, thank you, thank you, Oak Harbor.

Former governor Lowry risked political capital for his beliefs GUEST COLUMN

By DON C. BRUNELL These days, too much of our politics is agenda-driven, with little regard for the impact on “real people.”

Politicians proclaim their concern for the little guy, but they hang around with rich folks, celebrities and power brokers.

Former governor Mike Lowry isn’t like that.

If you are looking for Lowry these days, you’re likely to find him in central Washington putting together affordable housing projects.

He’d rather have coffee with working people than hobnob with movers and shakers.

Despite serving only one term as governor, Lowry remains one of our state’s most colorful leaders. Even though we clashed often over policy differences, Lowry truly cared about people and he did what he believed was necessary to help them — even if it antagonized his political base.

Born in Whitman County, Lowry was the last governor raised in rural Eastern Washington.

Although he is an ardent liberal who spent most of his career in King County, Lowry had a special spot in his heart for working people and those struggling to survive.

Lowry came to office in the 1992 Clinton landslide that saw Democrats take control of the White House, Congress and our state legislature.

While candidate Lowry had promised voters he would raise taxes only as the last resort, he pushed through a tax hike in his first year.

In 1993, he muscled through a temporary B&O tax increase to balance the budget, promising he would repeal it once the economy turned around.

Unlike many politicians today, Lowry kept his promise. By the time he left office, he had revoked half the increase and set the stage for his successor to eliminate the other half.

In the early 1990s, thousands of Washington loggers and millworkers lost their jobs because of endangered species listings for the Northern Spotted owl, some wild salmon runs and the Marbled

Murrelet. Hundreds of thousands of acres of prime timberland were off limits to logging, timber-dependent counties lost vital tax revenue and unemployment skyrocketed into double digits.

In response, Lowry pushed for worker retraining money, diverting employer taxes from the unemployment trust funds, a move that angered employers already paying some of the nation’s highest premiums. But before he left office, the controversial tax diversion was gone and the retraining programs were funded with other revenue.

Lowry stood by his principles, even when it cost him politically.

He was the darling of the Clintons when he pushed through the state’s controversial health reforms in 1993 — the prototype of Hillary Care.

Lowry’s health care activism earned him dinner and a night in the White House, but when he criticized Clinton’s welfare reforms, he fell out of favor and landed in the dog house.

In 1995, after our state reforms failed to get a needed Congressional waiver, Lowry worked with business to give small employers the ability to band together to provide health insur-

ance for their workers.

To Lowry, finding a way to make health insurance affordable for small employers was more important than blindly pushing a political agenda.

In 1996, Lowry bucked his base again. In order to spur the economy and create jobs, he teamed with Vancouver Democrat Sen. Al Bauer to exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment from the sales tax. It worked. In its first year, 181 small companies invested $250 million in new equipment.

In the final analysis, Lowry was willing to risk his political capital for what he believed.

Today, 85 percent of Washington counties have unemployment rates above the national average; more than 200,000 people are losing hope of ever finding a job.

If Lowry were governor today, I believe he would focus full time on putting those people back to work and creating new jobs for Washingtonians coming into the work force. n Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business.

Preps head into playoffs

Wildcats shoot to upset M-P

By JIM WALLER

Sports editor

The Oak Harbor High School soccer team will try to build some momentum heading into the playoffs with a win at first-place MarysvillePilchuck at 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, May 7.

The Wildcats fell 2-1 to visiting Stanwood Friday, May 2, and 3-1 to visiting Meadowdale, Monday, May 5.

The match between Oak Harbor (4-8, 6-8-1) and North leader Marysville-Pilchuck (7-5, 7-8) is the regular-season finale.

The Wildcats are the only North team to defeat the Tomahawks this season, winning 3-1 April 7.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight’s match, Oak Harbor will finish third in the North and go to the South’s No. 2 team for the first round of the district tournament at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 10.

The top four teams in the South are all within one win of each other, so Oak Harbor’s opponent is not yet known.

In the Stanwood match, the Spartans’ Laurence Wanambisi broke through for two second-half goals, one in stoppage time, to sink Oak Harbor.

With a steady wind at its back, Stanwood dominated play in the first half, but keeper Kevin Silveira and the Wildcat defense turned back each assault and the teams entered the break in a scoreless tie.

Oak Harbor made some changes in the second half. “(We moved) Alex Krantz to the outside midfield opposite Gavin Stewart, and Caley Powers to center midfield with Andrew Mitchell to strengthen our attack,” coach Brian Thompson said.

Oak Harbor’s Gavin Stewart takes control of the ball in the Stanwood match Friday. “giving it their all,” according to Thompson, allowed Oak Harbor to take control of the game.

J.J. Mitchell scored in the 57th minute off an assist from Gavin Stewart.

Oak Harbor continued the pressure, including a threeshot sequence just moments after the goal.

That was followed by near misses by Stewart and Caley Powers off a header.

Stanwood, however, battled back. A header by Wanambisi, set up by a penalty kick, tied the score in the 61st minute.

Oak Harbor stayed aggressive and created several other excellent chances but could not find the back of the net.

Wanambisi struck again, this time on a break away, to give Stanwood the lead with about two minutes left.

The Wildcats responded, getting two more great looks, one off a corner kick and another by J.J. Mitchell on a rebound in the final seconds, but Oak Harbor couldn’t get the equalizer.

A three-run home run by Sultan’s Rachel Kirkpatrick trumped Madeline Strasburg’s solo shot as the Turks eked out a 3-2 win in Coupeville Monday, May 6.

Though Coupeville lost, it put together a much better performance than when the two teams met a week ago in Sultan, where the Turks swept a double header 14-4, 9-0.

Coaches David and Amy King were pleased with the effort, particularly on defense.

Sultan (9-3, 10-3), the second-place team in the Cascade Conference, put base runners on in every inning and left eight stranded, thanks to clutch defensive plays and pitcher McKayla Bailey.

Five times the Wolves cut down lead runners with heads-up defense, and four times Bailey recorded a strikeout immediately after a Turk reached base.

Bailey also ended two innings with strikeouts with runners perched at third.

In the second inning, Strasburg crushed a home run over the center field fence.

Bailey’s only hiccup came in the fifth. With one out, a walk and infield hit that trickled just beyond home plate

If you’re planning to enjoy shellfish gathered from the intertidal zones of Puget Sound, it’s important to take precautions.

Sometimes this beach banquet is yummy and good for you, and sometimes it can make you sick, or worse.

To prevent shellfishrelated illness, including Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, or PSP, call the Safe Shellfish Hotline before you dig at 1-800-562-5632.

Online, view a clickable map at www.doh.wa.gov/shellfishsafety.htm.

For the latest biotoxin bulletin including PSP reports visit www4.doh.wa.gov/gis/ mogifs/biotoxin.htm.

Symptoms of PSP, which can start appearing within 30 minutes of consuming tainted seafood, include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, burning lips, mouth, tongue and toes, shortness of breath and a choking feeling.

In addition to PSP, other toxins include Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning, Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning, which may cause permanent short-term memory loss, brain damage or even death.

These toxins cannot be “cooked out” or “frozen out” of the seafood items.

In the heat of summer some shellfish can be affected by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a naturally occurring bacterium that can cause vomiting, diarrhea and cramps. Vibrio can be avoided by icing the shellfish immediately after harvesting and then cooking them thoroughly.

DEBBIE LEAVITT

If you’re boiling the shellfish, wait for the shells to open and then cook 3-5 minutes longer. If steaming, let them steam an additional eight or nine minutes after the shells open.

Tainted oysters are most likely to result in Vibrio illness.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations say oysters must be shucked on the beach. The Food and Drug Administration suggests boiling shucked oysters for three minutes, frying them for 10 minutes in 375 degree oil, or baking them for 10 minutes in a 450 degree oven.

Keep the cooked shellfish separate from seawater and uncooked shellfish to prevent recontamination.

Location is a big part of safer shellfish suppers.

Some beaches are off limits year-round. You don’t want to harvest shellfish next to a storm water outfall pipe, a wastewater treatment plant or a marina.

Shellfish are filter feeders and collect all that stuff going overboard, like paint, solvents, gas, oil and human waste, and they hold on to it for weeks.

The clickable map on the State Department of Health website shows all the recreational shellfish areas.

Colors, like a stoplight, indicate the safest places to dig.

Oak Harbor, Langley and Coupeville all have marinas, wastewater treatment plants and stormwater outfall pipes, so that’s a no-go for shellfish harvesting.

Beach-front communities with a lot of homes right on the water are not a good place to dig clams.

At the west end of Penn Cove, the map is yellow for “conditional.” There are times when it’s not safe, after a heavy rain, for example, or if something happens at the wastewater treatment plant in Coupeville or Monroe Landing.

Commercial shellfish growers are required to test their shellfish regularly, so if you buy them you are assured they’re safe to eat.

Do not harvest near the pier in Coupeville and at Monroe Landing, where beaches are posted in red.

Freeland County Park is closed because water samples show fecal contamination.

Residents are doing admirable caring for septic systems and cleaning up after their pets, but contaminants are still held seasonally by the wrack of seaweed on the beach.

Check for signs at the beach that will alert the public to any changes.

The green shoreline on the map, where it’s safe to harvest shellfish, starts east of Coupeville along Saratoga Passage, runs south and turns north up the west side of Whidbey Island to Mutiny Bay — except in the towns and near beach front communities.

The west side of Camano Island, from Madrona Beach to Camano Head, is also green.

Other restrictions are in place to protect the shellfish populations to ensure there will be shellfish for the next, roughly, 10,000 years. n Maribeth Crandall is environmental health specialist for Island County Public Health.

Joe Biller, of Coupeville, owns three Model A Fords, including a 1931 AA Fire Engine he acquired from a seller in Beaverton, Ore. The fire truck was restored from the ground up by his family.

Time travelers

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Whenever Joe Biller feels like getting reacquainted with old friends, he retreats to the rear of his property, lifts the garage door and steps back in time.

Inside, underneath covers to keep the dust off, are three automobiles from a different time period in various states of restoration. All three are Model A Fords, a passion he shares with his wife Sharon.

“I’ve always had a fascination with the car that reminded me of Bonnie and Clyde,” Biller said.

The Billers of Coupeville are part of car club on Whidbey Island that rides in style.

The Whidbey Island Ford Model A Club, established in 2005, has more than 40 members with about 60 automobiles, including a fire engine.

The Model A, known as the “new Ford” when it was introduced in 1928 to replace the Model T, is represented by models from 1928-31.

The Billers own a 1929 four-door Blindback, a 1930 Coupe and a 1931 AA Fire Engine.

“I have everything but a ‘28,” said Biller, a retired fire chief with the Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue.

The ‘29 Blindback is actually Sharon’s. It was purchased from a doctor in Port Angeles.

“She told me I could not take it apart,” Biller said.

Whidbey Model A Club revisits the past by restoring, preserving and enjoying antique Fords

The Whidbey Model A’s, as they’re called, evolved from a vintage car club formed by Jack Rasmussen of Greenbank, according to club president Gary Formhals.

The club meets monthly in Central Whidbey, participates in parades and travels to car shows.

A chapter of the Model A Ford Club of America, it is dedicated to the “restoration, preservation and enjoyment” of Ford vehicles from that era.

The club is the largest in the world dedicated to one make of an automobile.

Ford assembled nearly 5 million Model A’s after 18 years of producing the Model SEE MODEL A’S, A13

Biller has been restoring Model A Fords for decades. He’s a member of two Model A car clubs.

“My grandfather used to have a Model A. We used to drive it around the farm,” said Formhals, who lives in Clinton and owns three Model A’s, including a 1930 DeLuxe Delivery.

“I always liked old cars.”

Formhals has found the feeling to be contagious on Whidbey as well as for a few off-island members.

The way he sees it, the club is a fun hobby with certain advantages.

Such as sharing wisdom and parts.

“I do a lot of work on guys’ cars to help get them going,” Formhals said. “Most of the time, we’re swapping out parts.”

Biller might be calling soon.

Although he and his family meticulously restored the fire engine “from the ground up,” it didn’t need a complete overhaul, he said.

“It still has the original brake lining of ‘31,” Biller said. “Fire engines never got driven much. The engine and brakes are stock, which means it doesn’t stop very good either.”

Biller said it’s amazing how simple it can be to get

RESIGNED CONTINUED FROM A1 fellow Republican Emerson were not able to work more smoothly together since Johnson was elected in 2012.

“I know she was hopeful that her remaining two years here would feel different, and I understand that,”

POT CONTINUED FROM A1 we should ban this. I think it’s poor form. I do think we have an obligation to do what we said we would do.”

Emerson said that her original stance was just to incorporate the state law with no additional restrictions.

However, given the concern of local law enforcement about crime and the difficulty of regulation, Emerson said, she decided to change tack.

“Law enforcement is very

Johnson said. “I’m sad it ended this way for her.”

Johnson said she believes it would be the best next step for the county to move forward and “engage in business in usual.”

Price Johnson said she was taken by surprise by Emerson’s announcement, but added that it will be a welcome change.

“I have whiplash today,” Price Johnson said. “We’re up for a transi-

concerned about the impact it’s going to have on them,” Emerson said.

Plus, she said, the island is an “isolated geographic area” where the problem might be “exacerbated.”

Emerson also cited an opinion issued by the state Attorney General earlier this year that local jurisdictions have the option to ban recreational marijuana.

“We have the opportunity to ban should we so desire,” Emerson said. “It’s something I have considered, I think it’s something we need

tion.”

“What she’s been consistent about is being as disruptive as possible, and today is no different.”

Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider said that once Emerson submits a letter of resignation, Johnson will notify the Island County Republican Party in writing that there will be a vacancy on the commission.

The commissioners have approx-

to consider very strongly.

“I would offer an amendment that we scratch it.”

Price Johnson held her position in favor of approval of the recreational marijuana ordinance.

“I am not in favor of banning,” Price Johnson said. “I think we’ve done a lot of public outreach and work to create an ordinance that will strike a balance in our community and implement the law of the state of Washington. I don’t agree with your position, but I agree even less with your process or lack of process …

imately two months to complete the process and fill the board vacancy, according to Johnson.

The party will send a request for brief biographies, which will be considered by about 40 precinct committee officers, said Tim Geist, chairman of the Island County Republican Party.

The top candidates will be brought in for a committee meeting for interviews, Geist said, and

or transparency.”

William Bratsher of North Whidbey was among a handful of prospective marijuana growers at the meeting who expressed shock at Emerson’s about face.

“I just invested $200,000 in taking a property off the market that has been there for 1,500 days, now you’re telling me you’re banning?”

“Thank you,” Bratsher added sarcastically.

“I’ve been following this for quite some time, I’ve never heard the word ‘ban’ ever mentioned anywhere,”

then the top three names will be sent to the county commission for selection.

Three Republican candidates and one Democrat have announced plans to run for the Emerson’s seat in November.

Those interested in filling Emerson’s seat may contact the Island County Republican Party via its website at www.islandcountygop.com.

said Rockie Eggebrecht. “I’m am very frustrated to hear that word at this late date. It’s been approved by the state already. I’ve just been waiting for you guys to finish so we can move forward.

“To hear that word this morning really, really irks me.”

After public comment, Price Johnson made a motion to approve the ordinance, which was followed by a motion from Emerson in favor of a marijuana ban.

Commissioner Jill Johnson said she was torn on the issue.

“As the person who is about to make this decision because you two are on opposite sides of things, I was hoping we could talk it though first,” Johnson said. “Since we’re all moving in our different directions … I’m gonna refuse to second either motion right now and that way I can have a moment of discussion, which is …

“I’m a little sick to my stomach right now.”

Johnson said she was hesitant from the start about approving recreational marijuana in Island County and was repeatedly outvoted by the other two commissioners.

“During work session, I expressed a clear interest in not getting involved in marijuana from the begin-

ning, and I am very concerned about the very things Commissioner Emerson is talking about,” Johnson said.

“If we were gonna say ‘no,’ we should have said ‘no’ at the beginning.

“It’s so hard to sit here in a situation where I can have exactly what I want and we set the public up … I’m not prepared to vote today.”

Johnson became visibly emotional and requested a brief recess.

Upon reconvening the meeting, Price Johnson repeated her motion for approval of the ordinance, which was immediately seconded by Johnson.

“I have concerns and I remain concerned and every part of me personally feels this is a bad idea,” Johnson said. “But there is one value that I’m going to hold higher, which is I’m committed to being part of a very transparent government. One who walks people through its processes. One that raises concerns along the way, so when you reach the finish line of a race people know how we got there.”

The ordinance was approved with Johnson and Price Johnson in favor and Emerson dissenting.

COER PROTEST

at the Navy’s refusal and total lack of responsibility to take our civilian concerns seriously or to reconcile the harm being done.”

Mike Monson, president of COER, said the group believes it was a good time, with the resumption of touch-and-go practices, to again raise awareness of the noise issue.

“People are angry again,” he said, adding that a whole new group of people is complaining since the Navy’s EA-18 Growlers started flying a route they rarely traveled previously.

The gathering will be at the entrance to the Outlying Field, just across from Welcher Road.

Monson said anti-noise group members will remain within the state right-of-way and will be careful not to step onto Navy property or block traffic on the state highway.

“As long as protesters stay off Navy property, they are within their Constitutional rights to have their vigil,” said Mike Welding, public affairs officer for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown agreed.

Brown said the group has the right to gather at the site

and protest what they want, as long as members don’t block traffic.

Monson said organizers didn’t want to call the event a protest in order to underscore the peaceful nature of the event.

“Our intention is to be very, very law abiding,” he said, adding that he wouldn’t be surprised if people on the pronoise, pro-Growler side of the issue also show up.

“From their history, the proOLF people are a little rash and unable to control themselves,” he said.

Monson said he expects people from around Puget Sound to attend the vigil.

“This is not a local issue, it’s not a case of NIMBY (not in my backyard), it’s a regional issue,” he said.

COER highlighted the jet noise issue by filing a federal lawsuit against the Navy last June, demanding an Environmental Impact Statement process to evaluate the impact of the transition from Prowlers to the louder Growlers.

The lawsuit is on hold as the Navy performs the environmental study.

Heads of those departments argued that Fridays provided staff much-needed time to complete tasks without public interruption. The 3-4:30 p.m. schedule is expected to allow for that.

“What I like about this proposal is a couple things … it does address the need in planning and community development, the health department and public works where they do have complicated processes that they need to go over that requires collaboration between departments, and they need some time to do that without having the public waiting for them at the counter as they do,” Johnson said.

“So putting them on that 8 to 3 allows for that quiet team collaboration to happen.”

Commissioner Kelly Emerson stated her unwillingness to align the Camano Island offices with the hours of the Island County offices because she wanted to keep costs down. The commissioners argued over opening the Camano Island offices at 9 a.m., as they are currently, or 8 a.m. in keeping with Whidbey Island offices.

Johnson finally conceded.

However, Emerson announced her resignation at the end of the meeting, so the 8 a.m. time will likely stand.

Johnson and Price Johnson agreed that the hours of the Camano Island county services, which will include the commissioners’ office, public health and planning, should mirror administrative hours on Whidbey, 8

The service windows at Planning, Public Works and Public Health will be among county locations that will soon be open to the public on Fridays. a.m. to 4 p.m.

“It’s important to be consistent across our departments and across both islands,” Price Johnson said.

“With assurance from staff that they won’t lose accuracy or efficiency, I’m comfortable moving it forward.”

The changes will cost the county an additional $37,000 annually, according to Budget Director Elaine Marlow.

Commissioners waited for Marlow to present the year’s first quarter returns before deciding the county could afford the change.

Camano Island resident Carol Wilkerson said that while she agrees with the move to open Fridays, she disagrees that the county was using two part-time people to fill a full-time role on Camano.

She said it appeared they were attempting to avoid the cost of full-

time benefits.

“We certainly could use five days a week here on Camano, it’s a long trip to Coupeville and so we definitively would like to see it staffed here five days a week,” Wilkerson said. “Good employees, and I’ve always felt that we are and you are, if we do extend we should consider giving full hours to our staff. We shouldn’t have part time employees for the purpose of not giving benefits.

“I don’t think that’s the right thing to do.”

Emerson disagreed with the increased hours and said she wanted to stay away from paying benefits.

“I’m not in agreement there,” Emerson said. “I’m not in favor of making that change with the front office there to add those additional costs in. If that’s the best you can do, I still don’t go along with it.”

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
