Commissioner candidates field questions Second round of interviews set for June 24 in Coupeville

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Candidates for the Island County Commissioner District 3 seat fielded questions from the remaining two commissioners Tuesday.

The District 3 seat became vacant in early May when thencommissioner Kelly Emerson resigned, giving a seven-day notice.

Per state law, Emerson’s party, the Island County Republican Party, put forward three names from which commissioners can select a temporary appointee.

Four Republican candidates and one Democratic candidate

filed to run for the seat in November’s election.

District 3 comprises North Whidbey Island and all of Camano Island.

During interview sessions, each candidate was asked the same questions with the other two candidates out of the room.

The first interviews were on Camano Island. The second interview session is 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 24, in the Board of Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.

The three candidates are Richard Hannold of North Whidbey, and Marc Hennemann and Aubrey Vaughan, both of Camano Island.

HANNOLD: “I think the biggest issue is public safety and how the sheriff patrols (Camano) island.”

HENNEMANN: “My style is basically leave the room alone so they can get their work done.”

Geology buffs seeking tsunami data

Bracing for cuts in transit funding

Each year there are 317 earthquakes within 35 miles of Coupeville.

Oceanographer Jim Rich said the frequency of the temblors shows the instability of Whidbey Island’s geologic makeup.

While most of these earthquakes are too small to notice, if an event is large enough, it could trigger local landslides and even tsunamis.

“The one thing you don’t want to do is overstate the threat,” Rich said. “You don’t want to understate it, either. You want to hit it right on the head.”

VAUGHAN: “I believe in fairness, I believe in listening to employees.

I don’t like the ‘I’m the boss’ routine.”

Central Washington University professor Breanyn MacInnes, left, University of Washington professor Jody Bourgeois and CWU graduate student Frances Griswold conduct a preliminary survey at Crescent Harbor. The group will return July 8-17 to work with local organizations to gather data on Whidbey Island’s tsunami history.

Rich, a volunteer with the county’s Department of Emergency Management, presented this information to county commissioners this month as part of a push to research Whidbey Island’s history of tsunamis.

A team comprising local scien-

tists and volunteers, along with state and national experts, will be doing research in Crescent Harbor and Dugulla Bay July 8-17.

“This is big,” said Eric Brooks, deputy director of the county’s DEM. “We hope its the first of many.”

Researchers from Central Washington University, University of Washington and the U.S. Geographical Survey will be visiting Oak Harbor during the July event to survey the areas and take

If it wasn’t for Island Transit, Marty Corey might be out of a job.

The Anacortes resident has a “sick car” and said he relies on the bus service to get to work in Coupeville. The trip takes him about an hour and 45 minutes, but an iPod and the beautiful view make the ride pleasant.

“I used to spend $30 to $40 a week on gas,” he said. “The bus is much, much cheaper and environmentally friendly.”

Plus, he brings his bike along and gets in some exercise.

Likewise, Kirsten Tremmer takes the bus from Mount Vernon to Oak Harbor about four times a week for work.

Award-winning family

Weston Whitefoot third in his family to be named recipient of North Whidbey’s John Draper Award

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

The tradition of handing out the John Draper Award to departing eighth graders at North Whidbey Middle School seems to be developing a pattern, of sorts.

In 2008, Elias Whitefoot received the award. In 2012, for the first time ever, the sibling of a past recipient, Anna Belle Whitefoot, won the award. This year, their little brother, Weston Whitefoot, became the third family member to receive the John Draper Award.

While most of the awards handed out on the last day of school are band or choir related, the John Draper Award goes to an eighth grader who has a good, funloving, enthusiastic personality with leadership qualities, who makes a positive impact on others and who is active outside and with extracurricular activities.

Around since 1988, the award is named for John Draper, a student who died.

“I think it’s a big honor for them, and it’s in recognition for how they live their life as nice, kind people who look out for others and also work hard in and of the classroom,” said the Whitefoot children’s mother, Sarah Hangan.

Hangan is a teacher at Oak Harbor Middle School.

The siblings have another brother, Noah, 12, who attends Oak Harbor Middle School.

“My kids are very closeknit,” Hangan said, “and just excited and so happy that their little brother would also be honored with this award.”

When Anna Belle won the award, Elias was asked to present it to her. On Tuesday, June 17, Elias, now 20, and Anna Belle, 16, both surprised Weston, 14, at the school to present him with the honor.

“It just made me really

happy to give it to Anna Belle, and then to find out Weston got it just another couple years later. It’s just an honor to think that people think that highly of us,” said Elias.

Elis said he was shocked when he received the award.

“Our mom must be doing something right,” Anna Belle said.

Recipients of the award are chosen as the result of a three-stage process. First, nominations are made, then there is a peer vote and, finally, an adult vote. In the end, the eight grader with the most votes receives this award.

Weston said he suspected it was a between him and one of his friends, so he wasn’t completely surprised to win, but he still feels honored to receive it.

“Having those traits of John Draper is just a really … I just think it’s really awesome,” Weston said.

“We always work hard

The Whitefoot family of Oak Harbor has had three winners of the John Draper Award, which goes to a departing eighth grader at North Whidbey Middle School who exhibits a fun-loving personality with exceptional leadership qualities. Elias Whitefoot, left, was the family’s first recipient. Next to him, from left to right, are Weston Whitefoot, the 2014 recipient; Sarah Hangan, their mother; and Anna Belle Whitefoot, who got the award in 2012. The award has been around since 1988 and is named after John Draper, a student who died. throughout the year, try to strive for our best,” he said. “That’s how our mom brought us up, you know.

You treat everyone the same; you do everything 100 percent, 110 percent; you always do everything your best. If it’s school or sports or even just being kind, you always take care of everybody.”

None of them forget that the award isn’t just to honor them, but to honor John Draper, whose personality and achievements as a student were the reason this award was started.

“It’s just very humbling and such a source of pride for me as their mother,” Hangan said. “It’s just amazing, to

really see your children grow and become the individuals that you teach the lessons in your home for them to become.”

“I think Weston really, really deserves this award,” Elias said.

“I’m really proud of him and everything that he’s done.”

Island County planners are finishing a South Whidbey bike route that will circle through scenic areas between Clinton to Bayview Corner to Langley and back again.

“The idea is that people on the mainland can bring their bikes over on the ferry and see South Whidbey,” said Transportation Planner Doug Cox. “It will be one of those things we think will go a long way.”

Cox said the $100,000 project will use existing roads and add signage to make it more cyclist-friendly. The project will also widen shoulders in key locations.

The goal, Cox said, is to improve bicycle facilities to encourage more residents to ride bicycles for daily transportation and to promote bicycle tourism.

The route has been in the works for a while, but this part of the project marks the final phase to complete the loop, according to South and Central Whidbey Commissioner Helen Price Johnson.

“I’m excited to have it completed,” Price Johnson said. “It will make it easier for locals and visitors to use nonmotorized transportation and add mobility and well-being.”

Price Johnson said she believed the bike loop will not only be an asset for locals, but will help the South Whidbey economy through tourism.

The project will be initiated in two phases.

The Transportation Alternatives Program will provide $20,000 this year for preliminary engineer-

ing. Once right of way has been certified and a contract advertised and awarded, construction is expected to begin mid next year with an early 2016 completion date.

The county will be awarded an additional $80,000 to complete the project. The loop covers roughly 20 miles, Cox said.

The loop’s Bayview Corner stop off State Highway 525 provides access for cyclists to explore the rest of the island as well.

Coupeville is roughly 20 miles north of that spot, and Oak Harbor just another 10 miles after that.

Clinton business leaders are hoping that the loop will assist in making Clinton more of a destination and less of a pass-through community, according to Bob Craven, chairman of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce.

“We have a lot to offer; wineries, B & Bs, alpaca farms… but a lot of them are on the back roads,” Craven said.

“My hope is that the bike trail will be a real plus for us with more exploration on the back roads. Bicyclists like to get off the main drag.

“I’m very heartened by this development.”

Craven added bicycle tourism is environmentally friendly and allows people quick access to the island without having to wait in line in their cars.

He said he would like to see a company offer bicycle rentals near the Clinton Ferry Terminal to give bike access to those who may not own one, or don’t want to pack one onto the ferry.

The South Whidbey bike loop will join the island’s existing bike tours throughout

A bicycle trail loop on South Whidbey has long been in the works and is entering its final phase of completion. the island, including those around Deception Pass, Fort Casey and Possession Point State Park.

This route is different, according to Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, because it’s a complete circle, complete with beautiful scenic locations along the way.

“It’s pretty exciting,” McCarthy said. “It’s a really neat loop. The improvements will make it safer.”

McCarthy said he’s read

studies that say that people like to bike fairly level areas where they can see a lot of scenery. The route runs along Lone and Deer lakes, as well as Saratoga Pass and Admiralty Inlet.

“That’s the kind of route that appeals to bicyclists,” McCarthy said. “It’s an amazing route for a whole lot of reasons.”

Oak Harbor School District is adding employees for the 2014-15 school year.

According to Kurt Schonberg, executive director of human resources, the district will hire 50 new certificated staff members and about 70 support staff.

Of the certificated staff, which includes teachers, counselors and more, only 25 are for newly-created positions, created to accommodate the expected growth in enrollment, according to Schonberg.

The remaining 25 new hires will be taking the place of those retiring or moving away.

The support staff, which includes bus drivers, groundskeepers, custodians, maintenance and more, is also partially composed of new positions.

Schonberg said that the new positions are “because of the projected enrollment, and because of the levy.”

A lot of new positions are possible both because of the increase in levy money,and obligated by the promises the district made in order to justify the increase.

The hiring process for

the support staff has been an ongoing process from the start of the 2013-14 school year, according to Schonberg, and hiring will continue for both supporting and certificated staff through August.

By the time they finish hiring new people, Schonberg said the teaching staff will total about 350.

In future school years, that number is expected to grow even more.

“Based on the Navy figures, we anticipated continuing to increase teaching staff,” Schonberg said.

With new P-8A Poseidon squadrons being relocated to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, total enrollment in the school district is projected to eventually peak at about 700 new students.

“If you figure a staff member per 25-30 students, you can run the math out pretty quick,” said Schonberg.

“That’s potentially 30-40 new staff just on enrollment alone.”

Because most staff members wait until the end of the school year to retire, the district is still in the process of posting and filling open positions in the school district, Schonberg said.

‘GURU OF FLY FISHING’

Whidbey nonagenarian is a tying legend and a teacher

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

A

lot of words can accurately describe Gil Nyerges: teacher, artist, craftsman.

Some even say he’s a legend, on South Whidbey at least.

But the 93-year-old Langley resident waves off such compliments. He maintains he’s just a guy who fell in love with fishing a long time ago on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio.

Armed with a 20-foot bamboo pole and a bit of line on the end, he learned from his father the basics of a pastime he would later characterize as nothing less than “a science,” an “art form.”

Well, when it comes to fly fishing, that is.

“It’s the only way to fish,” said Nyerges, with a knowing smile and a twinkle in his eye.

Spin casters would have something to say about such a claim, he admits, but Nyerges maintains it’s the far superior form of angling.

And he would know, for the veteran fisherman has come a long way from those days with his father.

Nyerges would later develop a passion and great skill for tying flies, so much so that a few of his most successful designs can be found

in tackle boxes across the country.

Indeed, “Gil’s Monster,” modeled after a dragon fly on a Canadian lake and the “Nyerges Nymph,” inspired from tiny shrimp crawling on a raised anchor, have been slaying fish for more than 50 years.

“He’s the guru of fly fishing, that’s for sure,” laughed Scott Waltenbaugh, a member of The Fishin’ Club’s board of directors. “He knows just about everything there is to know about fly fishing and tying flies.”

Nyerges, a retired Boeing engineer, is generous with his gifts. The past few years he’s made “plates,” framed cases of flies he’s personally tied, to be raffled off at the club’s annual December dinner.

Gil Nyerges, a Langley resident, ties a fly at his home shop. Nyerges, 93, is a longtime fly fisherman and has been tying his own flies for more than 50 years, some of which are still sold in shops around Washington.

Waltenbaugh said the proceeds are put toward the club’s scholarship program for South Whidbey seniors

who are pursuing careers in a related marine industry.

“Mathematicians are out of luck,” he said.

Nyerges has been a member of the Washington Fly Fishing Club for more than half a century and has had

an impact on a generation of fishermen, said Jeff Dodd, SEE FLY, A5

FLY CONTINUED FROM A1 president of the Whidbey Island Fishing Club.

“He’s one of the guys who developed the patterns (of flies) and techniques we’re using today. ... He’s a pretty special guy,” Dodd said.

Nyerges helped found the Whidbey club, which meets at 7 p.m. the second Wednesday of every month at the Race Road fire station on Central Whidbey.

For nearly 30 years, he taught fly fishing classes in the spring and fall to students both young and old.

He doesn’t teach any more, except for special requests, but he’s kept his registration book of all his former students. It contains hundreds of names.

Nyerges does still tie flies, but only for fun and for friends. He insists that anyone can learn, and that there are no secrets to tying a successful fly — just steady hands and patience. In fact, crafting something that fish will hit is far simpler than most think.

“It seems paradoxical, but it’s a fact,” Nyerges said.

He recalled one frustrating day on a mountain lake where the fish just weren’t biting. But instead of making a long march back to his cabin for something else to put on the end of his line, he found a twig, secured it to a bare hook and spent the rest of the day hauling in fish.

“Just about everything you put out there when the fish are hungry, they’ll hit it,” he said.

But while Nyerges doesn’t sell his flies for money, his designs aren’t lost; they can still be found in tackle shops across Western Washington and in an impressive collection on his wall at home.

SOUND OFF Take simple steps to stay safe on the water GUEST COLUMN

By BILL WALKER

Earlier this month, our island community suffered another tragic loss when two young Navy men drowned while kayaking off the West side of Whidbey.

This is a challenge to honor these men’s memories by learning how to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe on our waters, and it begins with knowing the risks. Whether paddling, motoring or sailing, a healthy fear and thorough understanding of the effects of cold water could save your life.

Our local waters stay between the mid 40s and low 50s year-round. When immersed, even on a hot summer day, you will be incapacitated in just a few minutes. Your motor skills — swimming, waving for help, even shouting to a rescuer ­— will be severely compromised. After 15 minutes you will be approaching hypothermia. Your core temperature begins to drop, and so do your chances of survival.

How does a boater stay safe, without staying home on the couch? Here are seven simple, essential steps to enhancing your safe enjoyment of the water: 1. Prepare for immersion. Either dress for it, with a neoprene wet suit or waterproof dry wear, or know how you’re going to get out of the water if you go in. Practice re-entering your kayak or remounting your SUP board. Do a regular overboard drill on your sail or power boat. Otherwise, stay within 1 or 2 minutes’ swimming distance from shore … much less than 100 yards.

2. Know the area you’re boating. Check charts and seek local knowledge about currents, obstructions, commercial traffic and weather patterns. Plan potential bailout points; many of our beaches aren’t easy landings, and even if you get safely ashore, you may have to walk for miles before you reach help.

3. Check weather and tide predictions. A marine forecast from NOAA will include more accurate wind predictions than your local weatherman. Again seek local knowledge to understand the relation of wind, tide and current in specific locations.

4. Leave a float plan with someone you trust. Include your intended boating location and descriptions of your boat, clothing, vehicle, parking location and intended return time.

Instruct your friend, “If you don’t hear from me by (X) time, call me. If I don’t answer, call 911.” Contact the friend as soon as you’re safely off the water.

5. Know your craft. Understand what it can and can’t do.

Some kayaks can’t be re-entered when they’re swamped, so they should never be taken far from shore or into heavy swells. Some sailboats aren’t made for heavy winds. Some SEE WALKER, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Primary

League hosting forums on Whidbey, Camano Editor, The Aug. 5 primary is just around the corner.

For those of us who participate in such elections, it means that we, the voters, will decide who is running for office in November. Only the top two contenders for each office will make it to the ballot.

While it’s hard to pay attention to elections, especially in the summer when the weather is beautiful, it is important that we do so.

Indeed, the multiple candidates for some of the offices are counting on us to pay attention to their races and vote accordingly.

As in past years, the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island provides candidate forums so that you can meet the candidates, hear their positions and listen to their answers to challenging questions.

The League presents an objective, nonpartisan format for high-quality

forums and considers it one of the most important services that we provide to our members and the community at large.

The League and Sno-Isle Libraries will co-sponsor two forums this primary season.

The first event is 7 p.m. Thursday, July 10, at the Coupeville Recreation Hall and will feature the four candidates running for Legislative District 10 Representative, Position 2 and the three candidates vying for Island County Treasurer.

The second event, our very first forum on Camano Island, is 7 p.m.

Friday, July 11, at the Vista/Madrona Fire Station.

It will highlight the five candidates running for Island County Commissioner, District 3.

Although written questions for the candidates will come from League members, the general public is invited to submit questions for our consideration through the contact page of our website at www.lwvwhidbey.org no later than July 7.

Since seeing candidates in person provides information that papers, ads and brochures cannot provide, we wholeheartedly urge you to take an evening out to become an informed

and involved citizen.

Landscaping around oak now unkempt Editor, I am concerned about the landscaping in front of, and around, the Oak Harbor Post Office.

On March 23, 2014, the City of Oak Harbor removed the historic oak tree from in front of the post office on Barrington Avenue.

My question now really has very little to do with the actual removal of the tree, but on whose property the tree was located.

Was the old oak tree on city or U.S. Postal Service property? The reason I ask is because prior to the tree being removed, the landscaping around that area appeared fairly wellkept. However, since the removal of the tree, the area on which it stood and the SEE LAWLER A7

WALKER CONTINUED FROM A6 powerboats aren’t designed for more than two people.

Put a boat to a use for which i was not intended, or play Russian roulette. Same thing, your choice.

6. Wear your pfd (lifejacket) properly. If it’s lying on the seat next to you or worn loosely, it’s useless. A pfd is meant to be worn snugly — almost uncomfortably — so it can give buoyancy to your upper body and keep your head out of the water when you fall in. It’s virtually impossible, especially in frigid water, to put on or adjust a pfd after you’re in the water. Wear it and cinch

it tight before you need it.

7. Bring waterproof communication. Keep a VHF radio or cell phone safely waterproofed, usable and reachable if you end up in the water. Practice using your device while it’s in its waterproof case.

It’s rarely possible to speculate whether any of these steps would have prevented a specific tragedy. But to maximize your shot at survival in the event of a mishap in our chilly, beautiful Salish Sea, treat these seven steps as essentials every time you hit the water — ­ regardless of your craft.

Here are some additional, sensible steps to consider when appropriate: Don’t wear cotton. Fleece and wool dry much more quickly, tend to wick chilly water away from your body, and provide some insulation even when wet.

Bring a thermos of hot beverage to warm you or a boating buddy if you’re chilled.

Understand navigation using charts and a compass, not just your pocket GPS. When boating with a group, know your buddies.

Know the strengths, weaknesses and expectations of each person, and talk about what to expect in an emergency.

If you end up in the water, it’s almost always best to

Page A7

stay with your boat rather than try to swim to shore.

SUP paddlers should always use an ankle leash.

Along with “know your craft,” practice your skills.

Take advantage of boating safety resources online and in person. We have professional instructors right here on the island who teach everything from SUP paddling and kayaking to sailing and power boating, including all the safety information you could ever need. Use them!

Don’t assume you’ll be rescued. This isn’t Disneyland or a water park.

Your safety is your responsibility.

Learn to swim. After a few minutes in our waters, we’re all non-swimmers. Still, a

strong, confident swimming stroke provides an extra margin of safety.

Honor the memories of our neighbors and friends who have died in our waters by not becoming a victim yourself.

Know and respect the risks. Play by nature’s rules, and teach your loved ones to do the same. n Bill Walker has been rowing, canoeing and kayaking on Puget Sound waters for as long as he can remember. He recently spent over 10 years as a paddlesports shop owner and manufacturer’s rep, learning from some of the best outfitters and instructors in the sport.

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUE FROM A6

surrounding landscape has become an eyesore.

It is overrun with weeds and signs of general neglect.

Each time I drive past our Post Office, I am embarrassed that guests to our city would see such an unsightly array of weeds and overgrowth.

Is this how our city and post office want others to see our landscape of public buildings and grounds? Or does the Island County Economic Development Council have a plan for addressing such concerns?

Whether this property belongs to the City of Oak Harbor or to the U.S. Postal Service, I urge one of them to become responsible and arrange for a landscape cleanup and maintenance program for that area immediately.

Prospective businesses to our area will visit our city and observe the way this building’s landscape is managed and may question if our city has standards for how public buildings and businesses maintain their landscape and facilities.

Our wonderful community has so much to offer and many well-kept

parks, and private and public properties. Let’s urge those who have the authority to do something about the landscaping at the post office to do it.

Thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion, and I trust there are other like-minded individuals who will stand with me to rally the cause for remedying this situation.

Letter write misstates U.S. defense spending

Editor, It’s unfortunate that some people who submit letters don’t let facts get in the way of a juicy story. A good example is the letter submitted by Maryon Attwood that appeared in the June 14 edition of the Whidbey News-Times.

Attwood states that “military funding today accounts for well over 50 percent of the federal budget.”

Maryon is a bit off the mark as defense spending is actually 13 per-

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK:

cent of the budget for 2014, a fact that anyone can verify on the website, www.usgovernmentspending.com So, Maryon, if your statement was out of ignorance, that might be forgiven, but if it was a deliberate distortion, then shame on you.

Incidentally, for comparison, health care and welfare account for a combined total of 28 percent of the budget, which is more than twice that of defense spending.

Samaritan

Kind stranger came to Coupeville couple’s aid

Editor, At about noon on June 9, my wife entered the Navy Exchange for some quick shopping while I was waiting out in the vehicle.

I turned on the ignition so I could lower the vehicle window.

Soon, my wife returned and we were ready to go.

Except the engine would not start.

I had not turned off the ignition after I opened the windows, and that had drained the battery.

As I was trying to figure out how to solve our problem, my wife walked over to the service station to see if they could provide some assistance.

As she was telling her troubles to the clerk, another customer asked where we were parked. My wife told him, and the complete stranger said, “Come on.”

They got in his vehicle and were soon parked next to our dead vehicle.

With his jumper cables, he soon had our engine running and ready to go.

My wife offered to pay the stranger, but he said, “No, thanks. Give it to Navy Relief,” and off he went.

As he pulled away, I thought back to those old Western movies of the Lone Ranger.

“Who was that non-masked stranger?”

Thank you very much. It is nice to know there are people around willing to provide a helping hand to those in need.

OBITUARIES

Frank

William Paul Frank

William Paul Frank, of Oak Harbor, left his earthly station to put on immortality May 28, 2014. He and his twin brother, Charles, were born on July 14, 1935, to Henry and Bertha Frank in Kokomo, Ind. During his childhood, the family lived in Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Georgia, Alabama and Washington.

After graduating from high school in Kokomo, he attended Purdue University briefly before joining the United States Navy in 1955.

While in the Navy, he served on the USS Antietam, USS Kitty Hawk and USS America as an aircraft mechanic. He was stationed in Quonset Point, R.I.; Kingsville, Texas; Oceana, Va.; and Whidbey Island. He was proud of his service in the United States Navy.

After 20 years of service, he retired from the Navy and made a career change in auto body repair and painting.

He was a Boy Scout, and had become a Life Scout.

He enjoyed fishing, camping, cooking, with the required eating part, and afternoon naps. He was an avid motorcyclist. He made friends wherever he went.

But, most of all, he loved

his family dearly and his family loved him dearly!

He was a joy to be around, always smiling, positive; and he brought people and family together. Everyone was a “sweetie” and a friend to him. And everyone we met would say, “He is so darn cute!” and he was!

He was preceded in death by parents Henry and Bertha Frank; twin brother Charles; sister Barbara; and his son, Henry.

He is survived by his wife, Rose Frank; daughter Debra Metz and Steve Metz of Langley, Wash.; son Charles Frank and Marie Frank of Loganville, Ga.; daughter Angela Fritch and Nils Johnson of Oak Harbor; son William Frank and Tara Hampton of Woodstock, Ga.; son Michael Frank and Collen Frank of Sellersville, Pa.; grandchildren Stephanie Metz, Ben Metz, Noelle Metz, Eva Bushnell, Mandy Peak, Samantha Vest, Bregan Frank, Will Frank, Hannah Frank, Cail Frank and Eric Frank; and six great-grandchildren.

No services will be held.

Christmas

Katherine Evelyn Christmas

Katherine Evelyn Christmas passed from this life at the family home on Sunday, June 15, 2014 at the age of 66. Born in Russellville, Ky., on July 21, 1947 to Rufus and Elizabeth Tanner, Katherine was the third daughter of four children. After what can only be described as a rambunctious childhood, she married Willie Christmas in 1965. As a Navy couple, they briefly lived in Memphis, Tenn., and San Diego before settling in Oak Harbor, Wash., in 1967.

Their daughter, Holly, was born in 1968, followed by son Noel two years later.

Katherine was a devoted, fun mom and loving wife.

She coached softball, hosted Cub Scouts and served in her kids’ classrooms so much that she wound up working as an instructional assistant at Crescent Harbor Elementary for 20 years.

For 14 years, Willie and Katherine owned and operated Christmas’ Silver Lake Tree Farm, where Katherine served as chief wreath maker and her skill at making happy cocoa was legendary. Taking her last name to heart, Katherine embraced Christmas with a zeal for giving, loving and spreading joy to all those around her.

She always made sure people had the best holiday possible, whether it was providing their holiday center-

piece or secretly shopping for a family in need.

Her real calling came at the arrival of her grandchildren, Zachary and Emily, to whom she wielded the expertly honed “mom skills” she’d worked so hard to attain.

Volunteering in the La Conner Schools, Katherine rarely missed one of her grandchildren’s soccer, basketball or baseball games ---- so much so that her yells from the sidelines for her grandson to rise to University of Kentucky basketball standards became a rally cry for parents all around her.

In addition to calling Whidbey Island home for almost 47 years, Katherine loved Kentucky. Her biannual trips to Logan County, affectionately referred to as home, continued to be a highlight in her life.

Passionately devoted to family — and her friends were family –-- Katherine selflessly gave of her time and talents to all those she held dear, especially her husband of 48 years, Willie.

Since their retirement in 1995, Willie and Katherine pursued various interests — besides the adoration of their grandchildren — such as travel, square dancing, classic cars, camping, fishing and time with friends.

Katherine is survived by her husband, Willie Christmas; daughter, Holly Christmas-Harris; son, Noel Christmas; daughter-in-law, Jessica Christmas; grandson, Zachary Harris; and granddaughter, Emily Harris. In Kentucky, she is survived by her brother Tootie Tanner, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service for Katherine will be held 2 p.m.

Saturday, June 21, 2014 at Wallin Funeral Home with Certified Life Celebrant Gary Wallin officiating. All are invited to a reception at the funeral home following the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations in remembrance of Katherine may be sent to Secret Santa, Soroptimist International of

Junior Camp at Whidbey Golf Club gives youngsters chance to learn, enjoy game

a chance to be exposed to golf in a fun environment,” Phay said. “We want them to leave with a positive attitude about the game and a willingness to come back.”

The WGC offers a junior membership for $200.

At camp, the youngsters are split into three groups based on age, and each group rotates through three stations: chipping, putting and full swing.

“At every station they are first taught the fundamentals of each swing,” Phay said.

“Then they are free to practice what they have learned while the coach works with each one separately.”

To make the stations more interesting, Phay said, they may add a garbage can or kiddie pool filled with water as targets.

The putting lessons are spiced up by converting the putting green into a putt-putt course.

The camp finishes with the youngsters playing a few holes on the course in a team-structured event.

“It’s the most exciting part of the camp for the kids and the coaches alike,” Phay said.

The opportunities for the young golfers don’t end

“This will be for members and guests 7 years old and up,” Phay said. “It will be held all summer long with the focus on playing. Our

goal is to teach them enough about the game to have them playing at least nine holes regularly at the end of the summer.”

In Winter I get up at night, and dress by yellow candlelight.

In Summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day.

Sunday Evening Prayer 6:30 PM at St. Mary Catholic Church in Coupeville

-- Robert Louis Stephenson

Jeffrey Spencer, Lead Pastor Pastor Marc Stroud, Associate Pastor

My hometown is Ventura, Calif., and the term “solstice” was never part of my vocabulary growing up. Located much closer to the equator, there is a “sameness” that tricks the flowers into sharing their glory almost year-round and treats tennis enthusiasts to dry courts on a regular basis.

I didn’t understand the near frantic energy generated by summer in the Northwest until I began living here. Fresh air and a love of songbirds entices me to open windows around the house, and this week the thrushes began calling from the treetops at 4:15 a.m. I remind myself that they will take flight in the coming weeks and during winter the air will fill with silence.

Rising early, I watch birds cluster around our feeders while I drink my favorite lavender mocha latte.

I also stay up late as I can’t stand the idea of wasting a moment of our treasured sunlight. Natural light fills me with energy and I want to sit out by our fire ring and roast marshmallows. I create ridiculously lavish salads and slurp barbecued oysters bathed in garlic and butter. On Saturday, June 21 we will celebrate the longest day, “Summer Solstice,” with our yearly strawberry shortcake dinner, complete with a giant homemade scone smothered in Bell’s Farm strawberries and homemade whipped cream.

And I’m compelled to join similarly organized teams in local churches across Oak Harbor to help produce a week of Vacation

Sculpture in park a tribute to four Oak Harbor educators

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

P

at Hawley has become quite a poet since retiring as a high school drama teacher but finding the right words to express her sentiments Thursday morning wasn’t easy.

Hawley visited Windjammer Park and saw for the first time the sculpture created by Richard Nash that recently was placed in the park in honor of Hawley and three other former Oak Harbor High School educators.

“Isn’t that lovely?” she said, gazing at the abstract sculpture, stonework and other landscaping that surrounds it.

Wallie Funk, the former owner and publisher of the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record and longtime supporter of the arts, donated the sculpture to the City of Oak Harbor.

It will be officially dedicated during a ceremony at 6 p.m.

Thursday, July 3 at the site on the west side of the park.

Funk wanted to recognize the four teachers for the sizable impact he felt they made on students during their tenure at Oak Harbor.

The teachers whose names will be etched on the sculpture include his wife Mary Ann Funk, who passed away in 2008. The others are Trudy Sundberg, Tom Carroll and Hawley.

Hawley is the only one still living.

“This has been done because of the deep caring of a lot of people who admired their contributions,” Funk said. “Every one of them, in addition to being nice people, they left marks in the sand.”

All four taught English at Oak Harbor. Each was noted for their passion for teaching.

Hawley’s career overlapped with the three other honorees.

“They were marvelous people in every way,” she said. “I sound gushy, but it’s really so. They were the kind of teachers who are remembered far after they’re gone. Each one was quite unique and very different from each other.”

Hawley, who lives in Oak Harbor and has won national awards for her poetry, said Funk was a close personal friend who was a strong advocate of women empowering themselves through education. She was appointed a Skagit Valley College Board of Trustees member.

Hawley said she could “go on and on” about Sundberg, who passed away last year.

Sundberg was known for her charismatic way of teaching and her love of literature. A debate coach, she recently had a Whidbey Island lecture series named after her.

Then there was Carroll.

“Tom Carroll, there was no one like him,” Hawley said. “He was a philosopher and a sage and that is unusual in this age. He was very witty. Everyone was in awe of his intellectual background.”

Hawley said Oak Harbor’s faculty during her time there seemed like more of a “college level” staff. She retired in 1998 after 25 years.

“They taught all grades and all levels at a very high standard,” she said.

To be honored in such a way with teachers such as Carroll, Funk and Sundberg is heart warming to Hawley.

“I was surprised and very honored to be among such wonderful teachers, and very humbled,” she said.

“I can think of many other teachers who might very well have been in my place instead.

“I like the idea of teachers

Retired Oak Harbor High School drama and English teacher Pat Hawley is one of four teachers whose names will appear on a sculpture donated to the City of Oak Harbor by former Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record owner and publisher Wallie Funk. A ceremony is planned for 6 p.m. July 3 to dedicate the art work by Richard Nash that recognizes the educators’ impacts on their students. Hawley is the only teacher still living and will attend the event.

to teach at Oak Harbor. We had such a wonderful staff.

I have friends there and

it seems like the tradition there is continuing.”

Nash also was among Oak Harbor’s high school faculty, retiring as an arts teacher in 2002 before devoting his full attention to abstract art. Funk purchased the sculpture from Nash and for a time kept it at his residence in Anacortes. But he decided he wanted to share it with the public and, in the process, dedicate the work to his wife and three other educators who are dear to him. He became friends with them all.

“I was so proud of these people and what they did as teachers motivating young people,” he said.

CANDIDATES CONTINUED FROM A1 The candidates were asked the following questions: Over the next few months, there will be many Commissioner budget sessions in addition to the regular business meetings. How do you plan to manage attendance for meetings in Coupeville and be available to constituents on Camano and North Whidbey? n Hannold: “It’s a daunting challenge with the difference in mileage between Whidbey and Camano, but budget meetings take a priority. It’s a matter of time management. There’s the annex here, as well as the internet, conferencing … and I don’t fail to answer my phone.” n Hennemann: “As I’ve said before, I would get a boat. It’s a whole lot easier than going around. I would have regular office hours in Coupeville Monday and Wednesday, and on Camano Tuesday and Thursday.

Fridays … we’ll see where the need is.” n Vaughan: “Three days have to be spent in Coupeville … Thursday and Friday will be spent at the annex. I think the commissioner has to do that.”

How would your former employees describe your management style? How would your style be described by your professional peer group? n Hannold: “They would say I’m a good leader. Somebody who works with them as a team. I’m demanding yet flexible. I’m able to take nothing and do anything, to take challenging situations and make it happen.” n Hennemann: “My style is basically leave the room alone so they can get their work done. I’m not a micromanager … these people know what to do. Let them do it. My peers would say I’m fair, I keep track of what’s going on, I watch and listen and monitor.” n Vaughan: “I believe in fairness, I believe in listening to employees. I don’t like the ‘I’m the boss’ routine. My management style is synergism. Everyone has a common goal.”

As an interim commissioner candidate chosen by the Republican party rather than a vote of the citizens, how will you represent constituents with more progressive values? n Hannold: “I’m a fiscal conservative, but I’m flexible. I represent the majority of what the district wants. You get the feedback from the people you work for.” n Hennemann: “I will listen, I will pay attention. I don’t do this for show. I will follow their values if their values match mine.” n Vaughan: “Any elected official, if you go into office with great ideological differences and philosophical differences … if you can’t put your political divisions aside and do what’s right for the people of Island County, I don’t think you should run for office.”

Given an historic inflationary factor of 3-5 percent and a 1 percent cap on property tax collections, what budget strategy will you use to maintain county services? n Hannold: “It’s about planning for the future. You always have to be looking down the road. I like results-based budgeting.” n Hennemann: “What we need to adopt a system called zero-based budgeting. Each department has to come in and justify everything they want to spend.” n Vaughan: “I don’t see we have a prob-

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

lem collecting taxes. We have a wonderful opportunity to constrain spending. We need to look real hard at efficiency.”

Because staffing levels at Island County are now 15 percent lower than they were in 1997, many departments struggle to meet public service needs and state mandates.

How do you plan to resolve this problem? n Hannold: “I believe in lean management. You can always do more with less. You tell your staff, this is what you have, now make it work.” n Hennemann: “As we get revenue we can have more staff. We can also go to the state and request a reprieve from the mandates. Cuts can be made, money shifted.” n Vaughan: “I think any department that is understaffed and can show a need can ask … but I would need to look at it on a case-bycase basis.”

Page A12

LEARN ABOUT TODAY’S SOLUTIONS

FOR YOUR JOINT PAIN

From your perspective, what is the number one issue facing District 3 and specifically the residents of Camano Island? n Hannold: “I don’t know Camano Island that well … I know the issues of North Whidbey. But I know there’s a huge disconnect between the two islands. I think the biggest issue is public safety and how the sheriff patrols this island.” n Hennemann: “Property taxes and fees.

They think these are too high. They don’t see where all the money is going. Where does it all go? Public safety … that’s the big one.” n Vaughan: “The apathy and discouragement here is rampant. These people are in bad shape. We have to be rejoined with Coupeville. It will take a strong leader, a person with experience and a person who is dedicated to the job.”

Describe your views on land use planning, managing growth and balancing societal rights with property rights. n Hannold: “A person’s property … they should have the right to do what they want with it. If what I’m doing infringes on your rights, then I’m wrong. There’s gotta be a balance.” n Hennemann: “The GMA (Growth Management Act) is having what I think is an unintended consequence of destroying the rural character of a lot of places, including here. Your property is your business as long as you’re not breaking the law.” n Vaughan: “We’re going to have to bring all the stakeholders involved … to work on a plan the state will accept. There needs to be a balance between the environment and what businesses need and what property owners need.”

As a Commissioner, issues often arise that force choices between your own personal values and the views of the citizens that you serve or the law/regulations you uphold. In facing a decision that is in conflict with your personal values, how would you proceed? n Hannold: “I’m a representative of the people, not myself.” n Hennemann: “If it’s the law, it’s the law. If it’s a proposed law, I would have to examine the law and see. If it’s not a law, I would go with my conscience. If people don’t like my conscience, then at the next election they can turn me out.” n Vaughan: “There’s times when you have to put ideas and political differences aside and you have to go with the people you represent.”

TRANSIT CONTINUED FROM A1 She said it saves her from driving her family’s gas guzzler.

The route over Deception Pass is part of a “tri-county connector” service, providing bus links between Island, Skagit and Whatcom counties; it’s become an important economic, as well as social, link between the three counties, according to Martha Rose, director of Island Transit.

The route, however, is in danger because of continued cuts in public transportation by state lawmakers; the state funding for the tri-county connector ends in July 2015 and lawmakers have told Rose that it’s not likely the money will be replenished.

The Everett connector, the popular route between Camano and Everett, ends this month because of a lack of state support.

It’s an issue making headlines regionally, especially with cuts likely for King County Metro.

“The state used to be the envy of the rest of the United States when it came to support of public transit,” Rose said. “Now it’s just 2 percent, which I think is shameful.”

The average state investment in transit in the nation is 23 percent of transit services, she said; the rest is mostly funded on the local level.

Island Transit had received about $3 million from the state to run the tri-county connector for two years, but the funding comes to an end June 30 of next year.

To prepare for the future, Rose said,

TSUNAMI CONTINUED FROM A1 samples from the land, marshes and beaches.

A 2004 study of the eastern strait of Juan de Fuca found extensive tsunami flooding in some areas as a result of a fault shift in the open ocean, according to Ward Beebe, a Brandman University geology professor.

In the Pacific Northwest, an open-ocean tsunami will most likely be linked to the Cascadia Subduction Zone, an area the length of Washington and Oregon, where the Juan de Fuca plate is pushing underneath the North

Island Transit is implementing changes to routes proactively. The Route 411W bus will no longer run from Oak Harbor to Mount Vernon, where riders can connect to a Bellingham-bound bus.

As of June 30, the bus will stop at March Point in Anacortes and riders can transfer to a Skagit Transit bus, which will cost $1 per trip.

Island Transit offers fare-free service.

Four Route 4 buses will be eliminated, since the Route 411W bus will cover the same territory.

“It didn’t make sense to have one bus chasing another,” she said.

Rose, who spearheaded the creation of the regional routes, said the tri-county connected has been more successful than she dared to hope.

Initially, the transit officials thought the bulk of the ridership would be between Skagit and Whatcom, particularly the Interstate-5 corridor.

“To our complete delight, the research showed that Island Transit’s ridership was double the ridership combined with Skagit and Whatcom,” she said, “and our costs per rider and per mile were less, and yet our vehicle miles traveled more than double.”

In 2012, 147,000 Island Transit riders used the tri-county connector and 45,500 riders used the Everett connector, according to information provided by Island Transit.

The long-term future of the route, however, is uncertain.

Rose said she’s received many “heartbreaking” pleas from Camano residents about the loss of the Everett connector. A

American plate 100 miles off the west coast.

The 2004 study showed that at some point in its geological history, a tsunami occurred and left the eastern strait deposits. In addition, other researchers have found tsunami deposits in Swantown Marsh, Beebe said.

However, there is still a lot to be discovered about the tsunami history within the Sound.

“There’s still a lot we don’t know about the geology of this area,” Beebe said.

While research has been done on the effects the Cascadia Subduction Zone could have on Western Washington, very little has been done specific to Whidbey

Anacortes resident Marty Corey rides an Island Transit bus Friday morning. He relies on the transportation to get to his job in Coupeville, but the route could be threatened in the future. disabled man, for example, can’t keep his job in Everett and has to move in with his parents.

Rose said she’s in belt-tightening mode.

The agency pared a few low-ridership routes and isn’t filling a few positions.

The irony of the cuts for Island Transit is that the agency recently opened its new facility near Coupeville, which was largely funded by a $17-million federal grant, which could only be used for capital projects.

Under state law, Island Transit is maxed out at 9/10th of 1 percent sales tax funding,

Island until recently, according to Rich.

“There’s some good things to come out of this,” Rich said.

“No one’s done any work here.”

Data from a geological symposium held on Whidbey last year shows that the island has four fault systems running through it.

The Dar rington-Devil’s Mountain fault runs through the north tip of Whidbey; the Strawberry Point Fault runs across the thickest part of North Whidbey and branches out through Strawberry Point; the Utsalady Point Fault runs southwest through Oak Harbor to the tip of Camano Island; and the South Whidbey Fault system com-

which was approved by voters.

“Transit agencies all over the state are seeing rising costs and diminishing support,” said Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who is on the agency’s board of directors.

Price Johnson and Rose say the solutions lie with the state legislature.

“I’m getting proactive on this,” Rose said. “I’m not being quiet and meek on this anymore.

“We need dedicated state funding for transit.”

prises three parallel faults running southwest through the width of the south end.

Rich said that these smaller fault systems can be triggered by larger earthquakes or shift all on their own. The effect can go completely unnoticed, as is common, or could potentially cause landslides or tsunamis between the islands.

“There’s a potential of tsunamis from faults within the Sound,” agreed Beebe. “But we’re not likely going to get the same effect. I would think they would be much smaller.”

The data collected in July should start to help researchers form a picture of Whidbey’s tsunami risk and how to manage it, Rich said.

Soil, sand and peat samples will be taken to an Accelerator Mass Spectrometry lab in Bothell for Carbon dating.

In addition to the academic researchers involved, Island County DEM will be partnering with the Coupeville Lion’s Club, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the City of Oak Harbor, the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, Candlewood Suites, and Boy Scout Troops 57 and 58.

However, Rich said, the group is still seeking additional funding and manpower to complete the research project.

Those interested in participating can contact Rich at jim.rich1940@ gmail.com

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.
