Scenes like this one, of the ferry and Crockett Lake in Coupeville, make Whidbey a top island destination.
In the eyes of one national news organization’s readers, Whidbey rates as one of the best islands to visit in the United States. Whidbey Island is ranked No. 3 under “Best U.S. Island” by readers of USA Today and 10Best.com, the news media company’s travel website. A panel of experts picked the nominees, leaving the public to vote for their favorite
U.S. islands over the course of a month. Whidbey Island trailed only the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, which was No. 1, and Mackinac Island in Michigan. No other island on the West Coast was selected, including the San Juan Islands. Whidbey apparently got the nod over “nearby islands” because of its easy access, according to USA Today. “I think all of us who have ever been lucky enough to call Whidbey Island home
are not surprised at being recognized as the third best island. This is a very special place,” said Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson, chairwoman of the Whidbey and Camano Islands Tourism Committee. “The only thing surprising is that we weren’t No. 1, because in my heart, there is absolutely no place better. I would wager that anyone who has ever hiked in Ebey’s SEE WHIDBEY NO. 3, A8
Whidbey to get 6 P-8A squadrons By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The Navy announced it will be basing six P-8A Poseidon squadrons at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station at the close of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement this month. “This move highlights the strategic importance of NAS Whidbey Island and we look forward to the arrival of the first P-8 squadron beginning in 2016,” said Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer for NAS Whidbey. “Now that a decision has been announced, we will begin SEE P-8AS, A10

The great paper toss of 2014
Celebrating the end of high school, senior Megan Mitchell takes part in the traditional paper toss at Oak Harbor High School. The graduating class of 2014 tosses papers saved during the school year. Some students would sit in the piles of paper and were partially buried as more paper was tossed at them by friends. See story on A3. Oak Harbor’s seniors graduate Monday.
A Coupeville-based group interrupted a campaign kickoff event for Congressman Rick Larsen Tuesday by demanding he address the topic of jet noise. Approximately 50 people attended the event, held at the Coupeville Recreation Hall. Many of those attending are members of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, a group opposed SEE LARSEN, A2
County sympathetic but powerless to stop marijuana manufacturer By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A fence being raised around marijuana-related businesses may soon prevent people from accessing a popular North Whidbey charity that

helps low-income people. A group of Goldie Road business owners met with Island County officials Tuesday to voice their concerns about a proposed recreational marijuana production business that
they say is forcing them to relocate. They also said they are worried the marijuana trade will bring a bad element to the area and prevent the public from getting to their own businesses.

County Commissioner Jill Johnson, Sheriff Mark Brown and Planning Director Dave Wechner said they sympathize with their plight, but can do little because it’s private enterprise on private property.
“It’s a free market situation,” Johnson said. “What you don’t want is for your elected official to have control over private property or rent control.” SEE FENCE, A10

LARSEN to the use of Outlying Field Coupeville for Navy’s EA-18G Growler touch-and-go landing practices. The group claims that the resulting jet noise is detrimental to their health, lifestyles and property values. Tuesday’s informal campaign launch was intended as an opportunity for one-onone conversation with Larsen and a short speech by the candidate outlining his platform. “Ballots go out in 45-50 days for the primary,” Larsen said. “We’ve got some work ahead of us.” As Larsen began his speech, the Navy began touch-and-go practices at OLF Coupeville, the noise from which could be heard inside Recreation Hall. One attendee who was walking by outside yelled into the open door, “I can’t hear you with the Growlers on!” After Larsen’s remarks, he left the podium and resumed one-on-one discussions. COER member Maryon Attwood then stood and called for a raise of hands by those who want OLF to be closed. A majority of people in the room raised their hands. Another attendee demanded that Larsen address the OLF issue before the group. Larsen declined. A couple dozen attendees then stood and left the meeting, including COER President Michael Monson and other members, including Crockett Barn owner
Paula Spina and retired attorney Ken Pickard. As people exited, Pickard held a boom box playing jet noise sounds at the door of Recreation Hall. “People in this room have all voted for Rick,” said Attwood before she left. “I don’t know why he doesn’t want to listen on this issue.” Monson said he didn’t approach Larsen personally Tuesday to address his concerns because he already spoke with him during a recent trip to Washington, D.C. with Attwood and Pickard. Earlier in the event, Monson repeatedly followed a local Realtor making remarks and calling him a “snake.” The Realtor, trying to avoid Monson, left before Larsen made his remarks. Monson said he believes it was the Democratic process to have people “speaking their truths rather than being silent.” Monson added that Larsen’s stance on OLF was “a shame” because “he’s so right on so many issues.” Larsen said that he came to the event to speak to people one-on-one and did not want it turned into a forum about the Navy. “This is a campaign event,” Larsen said. “I know people who came here are disappointed that it wasn’t a town hall on OLF. I was willing to stay and talk to people on an individual basis but they all left. “Any argument that we’re not talking to people about this is not an accurate picture of our engagement on the issue,” Larsen said.

Seniors at Oak Harbor High School participate the annual paper toss, where they get to rid themselves of paperwork collected during their studies. The mess is cleaned up by juniors.
Messy senior tradition started decades ago By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
High school graduation is a rite of passage that seniors look forward to all school year. At Oak Harbor High School, there’s another tradition that students anticipate. A long-standing ritual at the end of the school year for seniors is gathering all of the paper assignments they’ve saved throughout the school year and tossing them in the air as soon as the final bell rings on their last day. Sally Jacobs, in charge of the senior class until retiring in 2006, said that the tradition is at least as old as the high school building, which opened in 1975. “Sid Parker, in an effort to keep paper and stuff contained, said that we would have a paper toss in Parker Hall, shut the doors, only let seniors in, and let them toss their paper and then go home,” Jacobs recalled. Jacobs said she didn’t know if the tradition had already been in place before moving into the building. High school Principal Dwight Lundstrom said the paper toss was going on at the school before he started working there. “I’ve always thought it was kind of a fun

tradition, though,” he said. Lundstrom said that when he was a teacher at the school, students used to “ransack my recycle bin so they had papers to toss.” “I think it’s just the celebration of the end of their high school experience,” Lundstrom said. According to Lundstrom, teachers enjoy it, too. “A lot of them come down and take pictures and say goodbye to the kids,” he said. “I think they join in the celebration with the kids.” Another part of the tradition is that, after the seniors have their fun tossing their papers, the juniors must clean up their mess. Picking up the papers is what the juniors must do if they want to have a paper toss during their senior year, Lundstrom explained. “The juniors clean it up every year, and they don’t grouse about it,” Jacobs said, “because they know that next year, they’ll be throwing the paper and someone else will be cleaning it up.” “It’s a fun event, it’s a good time for the kids,” said Lundstrom. “I think it’s a pretty wholesome tradition that Oak Harbor continues to uphold.”
Mauck said the driver was a man in his early 20s. Another detective was a witness to the stop. Afterward, the driver made a complaint to the sheriff’s office, claiming that the detective assaulted him. The detective was placed on administrative leave June 4, pending the outcome of the investigation. After that investigation is completed, the department may launch an internal investigation.
Former candidate faces felony By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A three-time Oak Harbor City Council candidate and a frequent council watcher is accused of stealing a 100ounce bar of silver from an elderly family friend while the woman was away caring for a dying daughter, according to court documents. Prosecutors charged Melvin J. Vance, 49, in Island County Superior Court May 27 with trafficking in stolen property in the first degree, theft in the second degree and possession of stolen property in the second degree. The incident was initially reported as a burglary by Vance himself, according to the report by Deputy Lane Campbell with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. In Februar y, Vance reported a residential burglary at the victim’s house. Vance reported that the home belonged to an 87-year-old woman, a longtime family friend who was out of town caring for her daughter. The woman who owned the home returned a few weeks later and reported that a few pieces of jewelry

Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a criminal investigation of the allegation. The detective, a 13-yearveteran of the department, made the traffic stop in Oak Harbor at about 4 p.m. June 3. Mauck said detectives don’t routinely make traffic stops, but they certainly are able to, especially when they see “something egregious.”

and a 100-ounce bar of silver were missing from her safe. There was no sign of forced entry; the woman said only she, Vance and her late husband had the combination to the safe, the report states. Campbell reported that he learned Vance had allegedly pawned a 100-ounce bar of silver at a North Whidbey pawn shop. Vance allegedly told the owner that he needed money for medication, Campbell wrote. The silver was worth about $2,000, the report
states. When he was interviewed by the deputy, Vance allegedly claimed that his father had given him the silver; his mother and brother, however, denied that was true, the report states. “It should be noted that Melvin, at no point in time, showed any form of remorse whatsoever,” Campbell wrote, “which is found rather disturbing given the long-term relationship and obvious bond of trust with (the victim) and her deceased husband.”

Veteran retires from private flying after 47 years By JANIS REID Staff reporter
When 80-year-old Al Enriquez joined the Air Force, he never thought he’d be a pilot. He served four years in other capacities and then went to college under the GI Bill, where he studied communications and advanced planning. Still, since he was a young man, he was mesmerized by aviation but thought that being a pilot was beyond his capabilities. “I have watched airplanes since I was a little boy,” Enriquez said. In 1966, he began flying small prop planes while working at Norfolk Naval Air Station under contract. “I really wanted to go sailing at first, but a trip to the Norfolk Airport on a Sunday morning to have breakfast, which I did regularly, I took a wrong turn at the airport entrance,” Enriquez said. Out of curiosity, he stopped at a flight school just to inquire what it took to take flying lessons. The following day, he took his first introductory flight in a small Cessna, and he was hooked. “Within eight hours, I soloed,” Enriquez said. Enriquez has flown ever since, logging more than 2,400 flight hours. Best known locally for his fly-bys during Holland Happening and the Fourth of July parades, Enriquez recently decided to sell his beloved airplane and retire
his wings after 45 years. “I really enjoyed my flying career,” Enriquez said. Giving up his favorite pastime has not been easy for him. “I’ve prepared myself for almost four years now,” he said. “I fell in love with flying. I really had an aptitude for it.” Ultimately, it was the scientific precision of flying that he loved. “I love the part that you go from point A to point B in a very disciplined environment,” Enriquez said. “The airplane is unforgiving of any carelessness or neglect.” He originally came to Whidbey Island with his wife, Lucy, in August 1968 to work on a Navy contract at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. He worked as an aerospace logistics representative for North American Aviation, now known as Boeing, he said. When he came to Whidbey, he continued his flying lessons until he gained a private pilot license. Then, under the GI Bill, he continued to acquire ratings as a commercial pilot, flight instructor and ground school instructor. In 1973, while instructing at the Navy Flying Club, he purchased a small trainer from the club and started Alcon Flight School at the Oak Harbor Airport. In 1978, he acquired an additional airplane, a fully instrumented Cessna Skylane. “A real four-seater air-

craft,” he said. Among the many trips Enriquez, his wife and two daughters made over the years, in 1979 he and his family took the trip of his dreams. They flew to his birthplace in Mexico to attend a family reunion. He and the family flew again to Mexico the following year to attend the wedding of his nephew. After 12 years, he relinquished training in his Alcon Flight School due to commitments with his career in logistics. Enriquez said he is looking toward having new adventures with his wife on the ground — via motorhome.

IN OUR OPINION
Graduation advice may seem cliché, trite, but it’s true Parents, relatives, teachers and classmates will shower 2013-14 Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school graduates with advice and words of inspiration. Most of those words will follow along the lines of … • Take advantage of your education. • Don’t settle for second best. • Follow your heart. • Make your mark in the world. • Serve others before yourself. • Remember, this is only the beginning. These ideas are all common, corny and cliche. They are also very sound advice. We applaud the dedication, work and commitment of the most recent Whidbey graduates. We recognize that the school experience was different for each individual. Some marveled at the new knowledge they obtained daily. Some found it torturously mind-numbing. Some soaked up the social interaction. Some wished they could have attended school alone. Some excelled in the many avenues of expression, be it academics, activities or the arts. Some found school life mundane and boring. All, however, are handed the same diploma. Now what? A very demanding and somewhat demented teacher once said, “That hollow sound you hear when your head and a book collide is not the book.” He got it wrong. In his arrogance, he saw the book as the ultimate in education. A book, however, is just a static tool. The mind, no matter how ignorant or shallow he thought it was, is dynamic. You, not the book, will determine your fate. So, grab that education, pursue your dreams, positively impact others — you know, all those cliches — because they are not trite, they are right — and see what you can do. Adulthood will be fun, painful, exhilarating and sometimes just plain weird, but it will be your life. Good luck to the Class of 2014.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jet noise
Write representatives, warn about COER Editor, As I sat down the evening of June 4 to watch the local news and eat my dinner, who should appear on Channel 4 news but Mr. Michael Monson. He was out spreading more of his lies about the Outlying Field Coupeville, the Navy and our local realtors. As I tried to keep from choking, he stood there on TV telling the reporter the class action suit that is being brought against the realtors is justified by the lack of a notice about the jet noise. He told the reporter he never received any kind of notice, which we already know is a lie, and then stated if he knew about the OLF he would’ve never bought his house. He also went on to state that he and his cohorts are not anti-Navy, he just wants the Navy to spend millions of dollars to move all the EA-18 Growlers to anywhere but here. Mr. Monson, in my humble opinion, you and your group are liars, anyone
with any intelligence when they see a sign about government property with a runway on it would ask what it’s for. I’m sure you got a killer deal on your property and now blame everyone but yourself for the predicament you are in. I also firmly believe your goal is, if they offered to buy you out, you would jump on the deal, as you have already stated you would not have bought in the first place. I urge all Navy supporters to write your representatives and let them know these people are not to be trusted, their goal is to close Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and they don’t care what economic damage they cause. Michael Van Voorst Oak Harbor
No surprise you find COER in word ‘coerce’ Editor, I noticed that, if “CE” is added to the end of COER, it spells “COERCE.” I find this interesting in the light of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve’s methods to try to shut down Outlying Field Coupeville. I truly hope that the right decision will be made for the right reasons.
Whidbey Island Naval Air Station needs the OLF Coupeville and Oak Harbor needs the Navy’s presence. Alex Malone Oak Harbor
Maybe airplane noise does effect health Editor, I have lived just outside of the SeaTac Airport noise zone for more than 20 years. When I worked eight to 12 hours a day, the noise from the planes wasn’t so bad, if you didn’t mind turning up the TV or stopping conversations indoors, on the phone or outside when chatting over the fence with your next-door neighbor. How could I complain? After all, I bought a house close to the airport. A convenient and a positive selling point, but I had never lived by an airport before. Sure, it’s still convenient, but if I had the option I would gladly toss out convenience just to have some peace and quiet. Then came the third runway. Hadn’t we suffered enough? I was sure we voted it down … guess not. SEE MINUGH, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6
That’s the way it was until after I retired in 2003. Just thinking of what I could do or not have to do; I could travel around the country or just stay home drinking coffee on the porch early in the mornings, listening to the birds chirping and enjoying the quiet before the rest of the world woke up. I’m still dreaming. As I’m writing this, I am listening to the planes, one after another, sending their noise through my home and through my mind. And I wonder why — after years of seeing doctors who didn’t have answers as to why my head feels pressurized, my ears drain fluid, the ringing in my ears continues to get louder — do I clench my teeth and still I don’t know what is wrong with me? Julia Minugh Des Moines
Government
WIC removal from base is unfortunate Editor, The on-base Women Infant Care, WIC, office provides vital pre-natal and family services for over 500 junior enlisted families. This fully federal ly funded program is located at many other bases and is virtually no cost to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The office was started in the 1980s in order to avoid a two-hour round-trip to the Skagit office, a major cost impact to junior Navy families, or swamping the small Island County office. Today, however, a single regional civilian, the Northwest executive director, has trumped this precedent and prior base commanding officers, by falsely proclaiming that this is a “non-federal entity” and must be kicked off the base. State WIC officials are now scrambling to figure out how to support the Navy families. When I discussed this issue with the state WIC officials, prior to departing my base job, they were perplexed
since WIC, a federal program, is located at other Washington military bases, including Joint Base Lewis McChord — for the same reasons that the NAS Whidbey office stoodup. Outsiders should find this issue very confusing, why would a Navy civilian impact junior Navy families? The stated mission of the region is to “support fleet, fighters and family.” The rationale is unfortunate, but well known within NAS Whidbey circles — regional civilians have slowly wrestled complete control from base commanding officers — supervisory control of all base civilians including CO department heads, control of all funding including facility maintenance, total policy control including the cancellation of longstanding and mutually beneficial partnerships like WAIF and, now WIC. The very beneficial PBY partnership is next on their radar screen. Additionally, this “control” comes at a very high overhead cost. As the principal advisor for three base COs, I unfortunately watched this transformation directly. As retired military members, we need to stand up for our Navy families — keeping the base WIC office open has been the intent of base military leadership and is the right thing to do for both the Navy and the community. Scott Smith Oak Harbor
Beach access
Support Glendale shoreline project
Editor, I fully support the Glendale shoreline access project proposed by Island County in partnership with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. I understand that grant funding is necessary to complete the project. The proposed acquisition is one of the few remaining opportunities on Whidbey Island to augment Whidbey’s scarce public beach
QUESTION
OF THE WEEK:
access. Oregon, California, Florida and Hawaii all benefit from miles of uninterrupted public beaches with intermittent public beach access. At statehood in 1889, Washington set aside very few beaches and tidelands for the public. Most are private. This is our chance to incrementally improve beach access for the public in the state of Washington. Public beach access is a health issue. It has been recently estimated that one-third of the nation is overweight. Exercise is essential to correct that dire situation. I urge everyone to support this opportunity to acquire this wonderful public beach and uplands for walking, enjoying the view, meditation, peace and quiet. Our Island County Commissioners are to be congratulated for approving a joint project with the land trust to secure rare public beach access into perpetuity wherever an opportunity presents itself. The Glendale project is very much in alignment with the mission of Island Beach Access and its fiscal sponsor, Whidbey Island Land & Shore Trust. Perhaps soon we will see signs welcoming kayakers to the island, as the Glendale Beach is posted with one of the slender, subtle Washington Water Trails signs bearing the logo for “Leave No Trace.” Jane Seymour President, Whidbey Island Land & Shore Trust Treasurer, Island Beach Access

Assault
Violence shouldn’t be a part of nursing Editor, I currently work as an registered nurse at both a large urban medical center and our local hospital. As a nursing student in 1986, I sustained my first injury while trying to care for a mentally ill patient. What I naively thought back then was a “once-in-a-lifetime” occurrence is now commonplace in hospitals, both big and small. Many of my co-workers have also been injured by patients in the course of trying to provide safe, quality care. We know this problem is getting worse as cash-strapped states close facilities, cut mental health care, eliminate addiction programs and curtail other resources. Patients with significant histories of violence or mental illness are brought into emergency rooms because there is nowhere else to take them. When a policeman goes out on the job, they know they may encounter violence and are equipped to protect and defend. In health care, we have no such protection. It is important to combat the notion among police, prosecutors, courts — and, sometimes, nurses themselves, who are often reluctant to press charges — that violence is just part of our job. The sad reality is that nursing is quickly becoming one of the most assaulted professions. I urge you to consider the roots of this issue and speak to someone in the profession. Then, join us to bring changes about, for the good of the patients we serve and those who take care of them. Trish Nilsen, RN Langley

Joseph L. Malsom
Joseph L. Malsom, longtime Oak Harbor resident, passed away May 29, 2014, one day shy of his 91st birthday. Joe was born to German immigrant farmers, Nick and Marie Hartman-Malsom, on May 30, 1923, in the West Kansas town of Park. He was the fifth of nine children. Life on the farm was tough for the Malsom family. Through love, strong faith, hard work, perseverance and caring neighbors, they were able to survive both the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. As his sister Margaret put it, “They were poor, but didn’t know it because everyone was poor.” Joe remained on the farm until May of 1941 when he joined the Navy to serve his country during World War II. After his indoctrination and training he was stationed aboard the aircraft carrier CV2 USS Lexington as an Aviation Machinist Mate. He was aboard the “Lex” during the Battle of the Coral Sea, when she was severely damaged by the Japanese and later sank. Joe had many duty stations during his Navy career including the USS Copahee and Guadalcanal as a member of CASU 14. He remained

on active duty until March of 1948 when he separated honorably as a 1st Class Petty Officer. Joe met Lillian B. Briggs while stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The couple was married on Sept. 7, 1947. They were charter members of St. Augustine Catholic Church and one of the first couples to be married there. Their union was blessed with two sons, Joseph Mark born in 1954 and Daniel Nick born in 1960. Upon leaving the Navy, Joe worked as an automotive mechanic and inspector for 31 years with the Federal Civil Service until his retirement in 1978. After Lillian’s death in August of 1994, Joe courted and subsequently married Shirley Goedert in June of 1995. Shirley preceded him in death in October 2010. Joe was a devout Catholic. He was a member of Whidbey Fidalgo Assembly of 3rd Degree Knights of Columbus and an active volunteer of St. Augustine Catholic Church. Joe served in many capacities at St. Augustine, including Eucharistic Minister and usher, and assisted in numerous maintenance duties. Joe was also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Whitehead-Muzzall Post 7392 of Oak Harbor. Joe is survived by children Joseph Mark (Deena) Malsom of Oak Harbor and Daniel Nick (Sharon) Malsom of Everett, Wash., and stepchildren Chris Neighbors of Oak Harbor and Stacey Johnson of Oroville, Wash. Also surviving are grandchildren Renee and Jacob Malsom; step-grandchildren Allison Lee, Angela Tull and Sara Johnson; and step greatgranddaughter Lili. Siblings Margaret Powers of Quinton, Kan., Marsalena Marshall of Chadron, Neb., and Frank (Dorothy) Malsom of Wellington, Kan., and numerous nieces, nephews and their children also survive. Joe was preceded in death by his parents; wives Lillian and Shirley; brother Phillip; and sisters Elizabeth Ann Malsom, Theresa Nance, Viola Base and Catherine Clay. At one point Joe wrote information to be used in his obituary. His final thought was, “Good Bye and God Bless to all of my Friends and
Family.” Joe, we will miss you. A Funeral Mass was celebrated 10 a.m. Friday, June 6, at St. Augustine Catholic Church with Rev. Michael O’Neil officiating. A reception followed immediately after Mass in the Parish Hall. Private family Rites of Committal will be held at Maple Leaf Cemetery at a later date. The family suggests memorials to St. Augustine Catholic Church. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home.

50 spring athletes earn all-conference honors By JIM WALLER Sportes editor
Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school athletes made an impression on their conference opponents this spring. In all, 50 earned all-league honors; 18 were first-team selections. Fifteen of the first-team choices were from Oak Harbor, and five of those were seniors from the soccer team: Caley Powers, forward; Andrew Mitchell, midfielder; Gavin Stewart, midfielder, Chase Muller, defender; and Kevin Silveira, goalkeeper. All but Mitchell were second-team choices last year; Silveira was also honorable mention in 2012. Ben Etzell topped Coupeville’s list. The senior baseball player was named the Cascade Conference’s Most Valuable Player, the first MVP award for the Wolves from any sport since joining the league. Oak Harbor golfer Joanna Leete accomplished a rare feat, earning first-team honors all four years of high school. Senior teammate Bree Roderos was named to the first team for the second consecutive year and was a second-team selection in 2012. Sophomore Resego Mooki also took first-team honors this year; the only non-senior on the Wesco North list. Coupeville junior golfer Christine Fields picked up her second-straight first-team honor after being named to the second team as a freshman. Oak Harbor junior John Rodeheffer nabbed first-team honors in two track events,
the 1,600 and 3,200 meters. The feat gains more glitter because track, unlike the other spring sports, combines all 10 3A Wesco schools to determine its all-league
team. The other selections are based upon the five-team North and South divisions. Rodeheffer was first team in the 3,200 and second in the 1,600 last spring.

Coupeville senior pitcher/infielder Ben Etzell was named the Cascade Conference’s Most Valuable Player for 2014.
Junior Dejon Devroe (400 meters) was also a first-team track choice this year. As a freshman, he received honorable mention honors; he did not live in Oak Harbor his sophomore school year. Oak Harbor juniors Daniel Wolfe (catcher) and Brent Mertins (infielder) were firstteam baseball picks. Wolfe was a second-teamer and Mertins honorable mention last season. Senior softball player Natalie Fiallos of Oak Harbor was a first-team outfield choice this year after being the first-team second baseman in 2013. Senior Coupeville infielder Madeline Roberts was firstteam softball honoree after three years of making the honorable mention list. Oak Harbor junior golfer Mac Kerfoot and junior singles tennis player Makenzie Perry also earned first-team awards. Wildcat athletes earning second-team honors were senior Teddy Peterschmidt (baseball, pitcher), senior Brandon Bailey (baseball, outfield), sophomore Kevyn Johnson (baseball, infield), senior Alex Krantz (soccer, midfielder), senior Ben McCornack (soccer, defender), sophomore Tricia Sarns (softball, pitcher), sophomore Alexa Findley (softball, designated player) and senior Alexandra Laiblin (track, 3,200).

FENCE CONTINUED FROM A1 Johnson noted that a clear majority of Island County residents, including those on North Whidbey, voted in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana. She said she was very hesitant to allow pot businesses in the county, but she only heard one person speak against it during the lengthy process of adopting the county’s marijuana-related land-use regulations. “As you can see now, nobody cares until it goes in next to them,” she said. The county’s marijuana ordinance allows marijuana-
P-8AS CONTINUED FROM A1 moving forward with planned projects to build aircraft simulators and improve necessary hangar and airfield facilities to support the P-8A aircraft,” Nortier said. “I appreciate the public involvement in the P-8A Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement process and the decision to support six squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island is welcome news for Team Whidbey,” Nortier said. The Navy said in a prepared statement that it weighed two alternatives during the SEIS process and chose the option to base six fleet squadrons at NAS Whidbey and six fleet squadrons, plus the replacement squadron at Jacksonville Naval Air Station in Florida. The choice also calls for a permanent rotating squadron detachment at Hawaii
related businesses as a permitted use in some areas. Mark Calim, owner of Mark’s Auto Repair, and owners of surrounding businesses, said they received a letter a couple of weeks ago from their new landlords stating that they had to pay a 300 percent increase in their lease or get out within 30 days. They said they later learned the owners plan to put recreational marijuana businesses in the buildings. Kristiina Miller, director of the nonprofit Garage of Blessings, said she received a letter from the property manager saying the properties will be fenced and, as of July 1, people won’t have
access to a garage of free second-hand items. The Garage of Blessings’ lease runs until next February. Under the state and local rules for marijuana-related business, marijuana production facilities must be fenced. Miller said she worries that the fence will sound the death knell for her charity. “Even if we’re able to get out of the lease,” she said, “it doesn’t mean we have anywhere to go. I don’t know what we’re going to do.” Wechner told the meeting attendees that the area is zoned industrial, which doesn’t allow for retail pot shops under the new county ordinance.
Marine Corps Base and periodic squadron detachments to Coronado Naval Base in California. The decision presents the “greatest re-use of existing facilities and optimizes manpower, simulators and facilities at NAS Jacksonville and NAS Whidbey Island,” according to the Navy’s prepared statement. The second option would have based seven squadrons at NAS Whidbey and five squadrons at NAS Jacksonville. “It’s a relief to see it in black and white and have an official announcement,” said Jim Slowik, who serves on the Save NAS Whidbey Task Force. “There’s been so many rumors.” Navy League President Butch Bailey said the new aircraft will increase the base’s ability to respond when needed. “From a tactical standpoint, this puts a new generation of technology in their hands,”
Bailey said. “They’re getting the newest and latest.” The number of squadrons based at NAS Whidbey will increase from three to six. The number of aircraft within these squadrons will jump from 24 P-3 aircraft currently to 42 P-8As once the transition is completed. However, fewer crew are needed to maintain the newer aircraft, so personnel numbers are expected to stay relatively static with an estimated loss in the area of 190 military personnel and their dependents. Heavy usage of simulators for training will decrease the number of air operations at Ault Field from approximately 14,000 to 10,000, according to EIS documents. Michael Monson, president of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, a group that has been vocal against Navy jet noise, said he was glad to see the number of operations will be decreased. But he said he remains cautiously optimistic about what the noise impact of the

A Woodinville couple applied to the state to open a recreational pot business in the area, but it won’t be allowed. However, Wechner said another application was made last week for a “tier 2” marijuana production facility in one of the buildings on the site. The period for applying for licenses is over, but Wechner said a company, called “Bud Brothers,” had previously applied to open a production facility on Bush Point Road; he said they may be allowed to “address jump” under the state rules. Wechner said he hasn’t received any information about Bud Brothers yet, but

million and provide more than 1,100 jobs. “The announcement of the P-8s is good news for Oak Harbor’s businesses,” said Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce President Jason McFadyen. “It will provide economic stability for many years to come, and it shows that the Navy believes in Whidbey Island.” “This is a good day for Oak

Ellen Peterson, 16, of Coupeville, has pushed through her share of aches and pains during 12 years of ballet dancing. She’s devoted to going far in dance.
Grace and grit By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
In the final dress rehearsal for “Peter Pan,” last year, Ellen Peterson put all her weight on her extended left foot and felt a pop. It was her Achilles, a tendon that is constantly tested when ballet dancers stand on their toes. The pop was an alarm and the pain that followed a cause for some initial panic. She was, after all, playing Peter Pan. “I was the main,” she said. “I had to continue.” With the aid of antiinflammatories, a lot of ice and some comfort from a physician’s diagnosis, Peterson performed in four shows during that weekend last June before giving her foot an extended rest. Peterson, 16, from Coupeville, is back at it again this month, ready to embrace a lead role in another production put on by the Ballet Slipper
It’s Aladdin “Aladdin,” presented by the Ballet Slipper Conservatory, will be performed in three shows June 14-15 at Oak Harbor High School’s Student Union Building. Shows are at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. June 14 and 2 p.m. June 15. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors (60 and up) and students (up to 18). Tickets may be purchased at the door or at Wind & Tide Bookshop on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor.
Conservatory June 14-15 at Oak Harbor High School. This time, she will be starring in “Aladdin.” Coping with aches, pains and the occasional pop is something ballet dancers understand is part of the routine. Diane Geragotelis, who’s taught classes at her
Ballet Slipper studio in Oak Harbor since 1991, tries to teach proper techniques to prevent injuries but knows not everything is in her control. “Your body is doing things it’s not supposed to do,” she said. Still, students come to learn more. And keep coming back. Kelli Spence, 30, takes ballet classes from Geragotelis four times a week and will dance in the role of the Sultan in “Aladdin.” Spence, from San Antonio, Texas, has been involved with ballet since she was 3. As she’s gotten older, she’s enjoyed the fitness aspect of it. “Dancing is just a part of who I am,” Spence said. “I quit for a while after college, but I couldn’t stay away for long.” Spence laughs about the physical toll ballet takes on her body but couldn’t imag-

Aches associated with ballet are most frequently related to ankles, feet, calves, hips, hamstrings and lower back. When dancers go “on pointe” by rising and putting all of their weight on their big toe, “they say it’s equiva-
lent to an elephant stomping on your foot,” Geragotelis said. A bad landing from a jump can result in the occasional broken bone, something Geragotelis remembers happening only a handful of times in her 21 years of teaching and only once during a performance SEE BALLET, A12

about seven years ago. “Everybody heard the snap,” Geragotelis said, “then she continued to dance on it. She wouldn’t come off the stage.” When she did leave the stage, she collapsed, revealing the sort of mental toughness that also seems to be a part of the makeup of many dedicated ballet performers. “It’s mentally and physically challenging,” Geragotelis said. “Through life and through teaching the people who do this, I’ve found them to be perfectionists. If they weren’t perfectionists, there is no way they’d put their bodies through everything they have to do physically and mentally. You have to be on all the time and thinking all the time.” Spence considers ballet

Dancers accomplish acrobatic moves such as jumps, toe stands and high leg extensions. “You’re always pushing yourself to get better,” Spence said. “There’s no ceiling you can hit in dancing. Sometimes, you push too hard.” Peterson, in ballet since she was 4, continues to push and build on her dancing skills. She also regularly travels to Bellingham take classes in jazz, hip hop and contemporary dance. She sees herself teaching dance one day and also envisions performing with a dance company. “She’s very good,” Geragotelis said. “I definitely think she’ll go on to dance, whether it’s ballet, hip hop or jazz.

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.
