Over 200 primary ballots rejected

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

More than 200 ballots were rejected Monday at the Island County Auditor’s office because of late postmarks and other issues.

The Canvas Board met Tuesday to review the ballots and what to do with them.

“It was a very somber mood in that meeting,” said Elections Supervisor Michele Reagan.

Lonely elk’s appearance a concern for resident

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Already driving with extra caution after hitting a deer in July, Rita Lemke was traveling slowly to work last week when she spotted a large rack of antlers poking out from behind a bush along the side of the road.

Then out it came into full view — a majestic elk with a giant rack.

The elk stared at Lemke, seemingly unalarmed, then it SEE LONELY ELK, A10

Public invited to final Whidbey Island Rendezvous

By KELLY PANTOLEON and RON NEWBERRY Staff reporters

E

arl Irish, who goes by the mountain man name of “Scratch,” has been coming to the Central Whidbey event known as the Rendezvous for nearly two decades.

He was sad when he learned the event this weekend would be the last one staged on Whidbey soil because of diminished interest.

“I knew I couldn’t miss it,” he said.

The Rendezvous, an event that resembles the North American gatherings between trappers and traders during the early 19th century, began Friday and will continue Saturday and Sunday at the Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association grounds.

The event, which is free and open to the public, is held on the grassy *

area just off State Highway 20, where tents and teepees are set up with merchandise for sale and friendly competition will take place involving blackpowder pistol and rifle shooting, archery and knife and tomahawk throwing.

“It re-enacts an era that’s long gone,” said Orly Murie of Tonasket. “It used to be you could go to a rendezvous every weekend. Little by little, we started losing places to have them. It’s kind of sad to see that happen.”

The Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association has put on the event near Coupeville for about 25 years but the number of Rendezvous organizers in the 500-member club had dwindled to only two.

“The club is not opposed to the Rendezvous,” said Chris Eliassen, who runs the event along with David Hollett. “We just don’t have the interest.”

Man charged with molestation

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

A man who turned himself into police late last month was charged with first-degree child molestation this week, according to documents on file in Island County Superior Court.

Michael Walker Hurley Sr., 65, of Orcas Island, allegedly admitted to Oak Harbor police that he inappropriately touched more than one child, and that at least one incident occurred on Whidbey Island, according to court documents.

Arraignment for Hurley is not yet set, according to the clerk’s office.

Hurley’s son and three other men, all

who said they are pastors in Washington state, accompanied Hurley to the police department, said court documents.

Hurley allegedly admitted his actions to his son, and the other men and said, “This has been going on for about a year; he needed some help, and he was having a difficult time controlling himself,” according to court documents.

One of the alleged victims told her relatives that Hurley kissed her a lot and told her she would go to jail if she told anyone about it.

Hurley also allegedly admitted to touching more than one child “on their privates,” court documents said.

Forged divorce papers nets man jail time

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

A man who forged signatures so he could divorce his wife and marry his girlfriend was sentenced this week in Island County Superior Court.

Thomas Mayhew, 34, who is in the Navy, was charged with one count of offering false instrument for filing or record and one count of forgery, according to documents on file in Island County Superior Court.

Mayhew was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Mayhew was found guilty of forging his wife’s and a

judge’s signatures on the documents in order to free himself to marry his girlfriend in Las Vegas, Nev., according to a police report on file at the courthouse.

Mayhew was charged Feb. 7 after an employee with the Island County Clerk’s Office reportedly noticed irregularities when Mayhew submitted a divorce decree and a parenting plan.

The clerk also saw discrepancies and it appeared that Mayhew had written his wife’s name in a signature field instead of the judge’s name.

Mayhew’s wife told investi-

gators that she was shocked to learn he had tried to file divorce paperwork. She said her signature on the paperwork was, in fact, forged.

The wife told investigators she discovered a wedding invitation in her husband’s truck stating that he was planning to get married in Las Vegas that week, according to the police report.

Mayhew admitted in a statement to police that he forged the signatures of his wife and a judge. He also said he panicked and didn’t want to lose his girlfriend but believed that his wife wouldn’t agree to a divorce.

REHABILITATION CENTER 911 21st Street, Anacortes,WA • 360-293-7222 After a terrible fall down concrete stairs I required extensive bilateral knee surgery. As an independent 30 year old with a severe debilitating injury and a Lupus diagnosis I was concerned with how I was going to care for myself and regain my independence. I live in Oak Harbor and did not know what to do or where to turn for help until an Island Hospital employee told me about San Juan Rehab Center in Anacortes.

Because of my age I never considered that I would qualify for Skilled Nursing care.

I am so fortunate to have found San Juan Rehab. They are no stranger to providing care for patients of all ages. Diligently following my surgeon’s orders Tina, RN, cared for me with a great big smile every day and Mary, Physical Therapy Assistant, stressed the importance of relaxing and letting others care for me during our daily therapy. Loni, Occupational Therapist, has given me hope for independence by teaching me new ways to manage my daily living tasks. And there was never a lack of laughter when Agnes and Richelle were around. Overall my days were filled with love and care by the entire staff.

While at San Juan rehab during the summer, I was able to participate in two exciting daytrips. A beautiful ferry ride to Friday Harbor and a barbeque picnic at Deception State Park. They made it happen even though I am wheel chair bound. That was the icing on the cake!

I am so thankful that I was able to find San Juan Rehab. They have given me the courage and hope to live a full independent life.

Swim coach’s job still in the air

Oak Harbor school board approves 2014-15 budget

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

By MICHELLE BEAHM

Bill Patterson’s status as the head coach of the North Whidbey Aquatic Club swim team remains up in the air.

A special meeting was held Thursday by the North Whidbey Parks and Recreation commissioners to discuss a recommendation by the executive director that Patterson’s contract be terminated.

The purpose of the meeting was to come to a resolution to either accept or reject the recommendation. At the end of the meeting, however, the parks board opted to defer a decision until after a second special meeting set for Monday, Aug. 18.

Executive Director Gino Wolfe said he made the decision to fire Patterson. He held a question-and-comment meeting for the parents of swim team members on Sunday.

“Gino has told us that he fired (Patterson), he alone has made that decision,” said Michael Black, the parent of a swimmer, during Thursday’s meeting. “He didn’t tell us that he recommended to the commission, but that he alone fired him, and he hopes you guys agree.”

Last year, the parks board commissioners passed a bylaw stating that all terminations of contracted employees must be approved by them, and the executive director can only make recommendations.

Reasons for Patterson’s termination were discussed

by Wolfe and the board in a closed session. Details were not revealed, but parks board chairman Allan McDougall said. “It strictly deals with his performance as head coach, with swimmers.”

Staff reporter

The Oak Harbor School District board approved a 2014-15 budget during its meeting Monday night.

The approved budget shows general fund revenue projections as of Aug. 31 at $4.3 million.

General fund expenditure projections for the upcoming school year, as of Aug. 31, are about $4.26 million.

The budget’s most significant changes are due to the local levy passed last year by voters.

“This will be the first year that we receive the full levy,” said Vicki Williams, director of business services. “Since last year, we only received half of it. We’re able to restore and protect some of the items that we had to cut in previous years’ budget.”

Two of the most important changes included money earmarked for new textbooks and technology.

The school district adopt-

Colleen Branigan, former assistant coach, is now acting as the interim head coach for the North Whidbey Aquatic Club.

Though Black and others said they want to keep Patterson as coach, not everybody agreed.

One attendee, who refused to give her name, claimed attendance reports given at monthly meetings show that overall attendance at swim team practices dropped to about one-third of what it was before Patterson was hired as coach.

Teresa Warden-Wollas, a volunteer and the mother of a swim team member, said she believes Patterson was difficult to work with.

“He had all these brilliant ideas, and the follow-through was never there,” WardenWollas said. “He never followed through with a single thing.”

Efforts made by her and other volunteers to set up a booster club and run practice meets on weekends to ensure all the equipment worked properly were unsuccessful, she said.

Patterson, she said, was uncooperative.

“Every time I asked if I could have help with something, he would find some-

body, and when we would then all collaborate and get together, he was late to a meeting,” she said.

“How do you expect to get something off the ground if you’re not respectful to your volunteers?”

Warden-Wollas said her son, who swam for more than four years, took his first break from the team this summer “because he straight up told me, ‘I don’t like Coach Patterson.’

“It might not be the time and place for him,” WardenWollace said.

“He might need to move on.”

Vanya Brown, another swim team parent, disagreed.

Brown said she supports keeping Patterson as coach.

“We had a mentor here,” Brown said. “We had a coach who was bonded with our kids. That’s what we know; that’s what we think we are losing.”

Bill Walker, former executive director of the district, hired Patterson with the support of a hiring committee.

“I think people were really taken with Bill’s maturity, his

ed a new social studies curriculum for this upcoming school year for the middle and senior high schools.

The new curriculum includes new textbooks and online supplements.

The district is planning to purchase Chromebooks, electronic tablets and interactive LCD screens.

In another significant change, according to Williams, more money from Washington state is being directed to the school district under the McCleary Act. The McCleary Act was adopted in 2012. The state Supreme Court ruled that Washington was not meeting its constitutional obligation to adequately fund education.

“While it’s less than many consider ‘meaningful progress’ toward its obligation of full-funding of public education by 2018, it still provides new revenue for Oak Harbor,” Oak Harbor Superintendent of Schools Lance Gibbon wrote in his budget message.

calmness,” Walker said. “We perceived that he would be calm in the face of negativity.

That he would create a new, more even-keeled culture on the team.”

Parks Boar d Commissioner Sean Merrill, who attended the meeting over the phone, said that, after giving the commissioners a “strategic plan” for improvement, Patterson would never explain how he planned to achieve those goals.

According to “conversations that had taken place in executive session,” Commissioner David Walton said, attempts were made by Wolfe to work with Patterson to improve his job performance.

Following public comments, Walton made a motion to defer a final decision on whether or not to terminate Patterson’s contract until 5:15 p.m. Monday.

The special meeting is for the public. It will be held at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool in Oak Harbor.

Whidbey General Hospital looks at redistricting service area to ensure future candidates for the nonpartisan positions on the board of commissioners are living within the appropriate districts.

The presentation says the goal population for each district is 12,569 people.

The board will discuss the proposed redistricting plan at a meeting 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11, in the conference rooms at Whidbey General Hospital. n For information, email roset@whidbeygen.org

Whidbey General Hospital is redistricting the area it serves.

This redistricting is a required review after every census and will not affect the current sitting commissioners.

According to a presentation created by Trish Rose, the hospital’s public disclosures officer, the purpose of doing this is to make the population in each of the five districts balanced.

Improving the lives of Alzheimer’s patients ‘Joy is probably the secret to life’ — Mary Gould

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

HomePlace Special Care Center strives to bring joy to the lives of its 48 residents.

The center specializes in care of patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

“If you are always aiming for joy for the residents, for the caregivers, for your fellow staff members, you’ll always make the right decisions,” said Executive Director Mary Gould.

“Joy is probably the secret to life.”

The center is divided into three “neighborhoods,” according to its Health Services Director Danell Broyles.

The residents are placed in a specific neighborhood based on how advanced their dementia is.

Gould described the stages as “beginning,” “middle” and “end.”

“We try to keep them active physically; we try to keep them engaged mentally,” Broyles said.

“We try to keep them from being bored.”

The center schedules activities daily for the residents and is currently holding a weeklong session of making apple butter. The finished product will be sold at a bake sale, set for 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, outside of the Oak Harbor Walmart.

Proceeds from the bake sale will go toward Alzheimer’s research.

“We’re just always looking for ideas for them to learn and ideas for them to continue to grow or feel that they’re growing as human beings,” Gould said.

Jean Marchese and other residents of HomePlace gather to listen to uplifting songs for their first afternoon activity Thursday. Danell Broyles said that as long as the singing won’t overstimulate the resident, all are welcome to attend.

The caregivers at HomePlace take a “gentle care” approach, combined with Montessori educational activities.

“There is a type of learning that can go on even for people with dying brains,” Gould said. “It relies

on routine and small steps and repetitive small-motor movements.”

Mitch Incarnato’s mother, Marlene, lives at HomePlace.

Marlene Incarnato, who has Alzheimer’s disease, has been a resident at HomePlace since

November 2010. Incarnato said he cared for his mother at home for six years before that.

Incarnato said he turned to HomePlace to help with the advanced car his mother needed.

“It’s obviously a very, very dif-

ficult disease for the caregivers to deal with,” he said. “I’m really glad I was in a position to take care of her as long as I did.”

Now, Incarnato works as a volunSEE JOY, A5

“I think, with Alzheimer’s’s … you have to know when to let go,” he said.

“It’s a tough one.”

The most difficult thing about treating dementia and Alzheimer’s patients isn’t the care itself, Broyles said.

“What I find difficult is not how I handle their dementia, but … the ones that are alert enough to know that they’re confused,” she said.

“It’s hard emotionally to watch them go through that.”

Broyles said she agrees with Gould — that the best part of what she and the other staff members do is help bring joy to the residents’ lives.

“When you bring a little bit of joy into their life, knowing it’s a dementia person, someone who may not remember five minutes from now, but you still put a smile on their face for that

moment, that’s all that matters,” she said.

“You’re not just here to make sure they eat and drink and go to the bathroom, you’re here to participate in their lives, to talk to them,” she said.

“This isn’t a job you come to just because you need a job. This is a job you come to because you care about people.

“We’re all here because we care.”

n HOMEPLACE SPECIAL CARE CENTER is teaming with the Alzheimer’s Society of Washington and Summer Hill Assisted Living in Oak Harbor to present the award-winning short film, “The Bath.”

The film, inspired by a poem written by Holly Hughes, is about a mother with dementia and the lesson her family learns as they care for her.

The writer and director of the film, Mark Lundsten, will attend the screening and answer questions.

The screening is free and will include a discussion panel and a raffle following the 25-minute film.

It will take place at 3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, at Summer Hill, 165 SE 6th Ave., Oak Harbor.

Each of us has the ability to stay angry; the question is, ‘why?’

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

I love Whidbey Island. I love being the publisher of the Whidbey News Group newspapers. From my days in high school paper when we would travel to Oak Harbor once a month to build the newsapaper, I wanted to work here.

And I did. First in 1986, as a college intern, later as a staff reporter. When I interviewed members of the community — whether prominent or someone who tried to dodge the spotlight — people were almost always polite and respectful.

Flash forward to today.

I regularly run into people who were here 20-plus years ago, people who were always lovely. At the Coupeville Arts & Crafts 50th celebration, for example, I ran into Coupeville resident Emily Ramsey.

Emily was very active in the community in the 1980s and ‘90s. She always had strong opinions, political and otherwise, but was genuinely friendly and gracious. Seeing her again brought back many memories.

It got me thinking about the countless other people I wrote about as a reporter. Some are still here, some moved away and others passed on.

I also pondered changes in our island community during the 13 years I worked off island at another newspaper.

Like cursive writing going by the wayside in many of our schools, civility seems to be a waning attribute. Perhaps carryover from the Wild West that is the Internet, people are more prone to cursing, yelling to get their points across, insulting others and making threats and demands that are quite often illogical when you dissect them.

It makes me long for the old days — and yes, I know that makes me sound old and sentimental.

Still, I miss them.

If there’s anything I’ve learned since becoming publisher and editor here, it’s to pause and breathe before responding to someone who is lobbing insults, calling names or making threats.

There’s more to every situation than meets the eye — that’s what I keep reminding myself.

I am a painfully shy person, and that has caused some to describe me as aloof, or even “stuck up.” I think most shy people understand how that works.

But sometimes shy is just, well, shy.

The fact is, all of us are human, and sometimes feelings get hurt. How we respond to those hurt feelings or anger is determined by each of us.

Each of us has the ability to pause, take a breath, consider that there’s likely more to every scenario than we know.

There is always a way to find the common ground.

Each of us also has the ability to remain angry and bitter and ensure everyone around us knows about it.

You decide which is healthier and more constructive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Primary

Appreciates show of confidence by voters

Editor, I would like to thank the large number of voters who supported me in the primary election for Island County Commissioner, District No. 3. It was an honor to lead a large field of candidates, and I appreciate your confidence.

Our communities deserve leaders who will listen and represent every resident.

Our citizens deserve access to good public transportation and to educational institutions.

Our seniors deserve to age in a place in the communities they helped build.

Our residents deserve the best safety services from first responders and the county emergency management team.

Our islands must be environmentally protected so we have access to clean water and our rural life style is maintained.

I plan to work hard with community groups and leaders to find ways of supporting and building economic devel-

opment on both islands.

Island County is my home. I am honored by your support and will continue to work hard.

Karla Jacks Candidate, Island County Commissioner District No. 3

Jacks is committed to bettering community

Editor, I am writing to offer my endorsement of Karla Jacks for Island County Commissioner, District 3.

Island County voters should be elated to have such a well-rounded candidate running for this important position.

I have personally had the pleasure of volunteering with Jacks in the Stanwood-Camano community and have always known her to be transparent, ethical and fair in all of her dealings.

With her strong background in the hospitality industry, she has mastered the art of being an intuitive listener, finding common sense and innovative solutions to complex issues and maintaining operational excellence.

Jacks has worked with many differ-

ent groups in her community. She is currently the executive director of the Camano Senior Center, has worked closely with high school students and families as a team parent for several sports teams.

Jacks also piloted a peer-buddy program for children with disabilities and also served as president of the Camano Chamber of Commerce, just to mention a few.

I have no doubt that Jacks will use her well-honed skills to serve her constituents by creating an environment of long-term health and safety for the Island County Community.

It is not every day that you are lucky enough to have a candidate as genuine and committed to the betterment of her community as Karla Jacks.

OBITUARY

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

by Wanda Grone. When Grone decided to run, rather than being honest and above board about her intentions, she chose to let both the treasurer and her fellow staff members discover it in the newspaper.

She could have run on her merits but instead has pursued a campaign of negativity. I would like to provide clarification on several of Grone’s assertions: n The treasurer’s absence.

Ana Maria Nuñez’s sister was diagnosed with cancer. Grone was never acting treasurer, contrary to what she posted on her website. This was no vacation — Nuñez was telecommuting. Our office was contacted daily via telephone and email. She made all investment and executive decisions, including budget discussions with the commissioners. Wanda was responsible for day-to-day operations — the job for which she was hired. n Grone’s car was “the last in the parking lot” because she was so habitually over 15 minutes late to work that her hours were adjusted to 8:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. to accommodate her tardiness. It is disingenuous of her to use this as an example of her “working hard.” n Grone was vocal about not being willing to work overtime for “free” as a salaried employee. She tracked her hours to ensure she didn’t work beyond the required 40 hours. Nuñez and the rest of the staff, both hourly and salaried, regularly work overtime.

Neither my coworkers nor I remember ever seeing Grone on a weekend, no matter how far behind she was on her work or how swamped our office was. n The treasurer has pursued training. Ongoing education is a necessity and greatly benefits the taxpayers. Nuñez takes copious notes in order to obtain the most knowledge. When Grone attends training, she sits in the back of the room and takes micro-naps during the presentations.

As we drove to one training, she told me that she intended to leave the conference early so she could get home to walk her dogs.

That is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Event was great on all fronts

Transit

Editor, This letter is written in response to the letter to the editor from Michael Eaves in the Aug. 13 edition of the Whidbey News-Times.

We are all very glad you attended this years Pigfest.

It was phenomenal on all fronts.

I am an Oak Harbor Soroptimist and have been helping to serve this annual “pig feed” since Scott Fraser started the event six years ago.

I’m sorry you missed the “free food” — which was by donations only for local charities.

Perhaps you missed the location?

My Soroptimist Club helped serve the food until 5:15 p.m., and the only items we ran out of were forks and napkins, and that was at 4:30.

Many thanks to Scott and all the sponsors who helped make this fantastic event so successful.

It was a grand day for the

Barbara Berry-Jacobs Oak Harbor

IT director hasn’t been doing job Editor, It would seem that, despite what the island County Transit manager has stated over the years, the system does need to charge for its services.

Evidently, she knows not of what she speaks.

Nearly $3 million dollars is unaccounted for.

For any CEO to not know what an organization’s fiscal position is — that is not acceptable.

It would seem that “the Rose has wilted” and is totally incompetent. I think a criminal (investigation) is in order in addition to an audit.

Rose should be placed on unpaid leave during such an investigation.

The manager of Island Transit would not be missed because she has not been doing her job anyway.

Oswalt

Christine Lee ‘Chris’ Oswalt Christine Lee Oswalt, age 63, of Greenbank, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2014, at Providence Medical Center in Everett after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Chris was born in Tucson, Ariz., on June 23, 1951, to Albert and Margaret (Childs) Kerland.

She attended Tucson schools and graduated from E.L. Wetmore High School.

She later graduated from University of Phoenix with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration.

Chris served as a flight

MARK

attendant for Southwest Airlines for 20 years.

Chris was married to Curtis Oswalt on May 25, 1974, in Phoenix, and the couple resided in the Phoenix area before moving to Whidbey Island in December 1998, where they settled at their home in Greenbank.

She enjoyed riding pleasure horses and boating with her husband and friends.

Chris is survived by her husband, Curtis, at home; her stepmother, Katherine “Katie” Kerland of Wichita Falls, Texas; two stepchildren, Curtis Oswalt Jr. of Chandler, Ariz., and April Lynn Oswalt of Payson, Ariz.; and by a granddaughter, Chantelle Marie Tani of Payson, Ariz.

In keeping with Chris’ wishes, no services will be held.

Lilian Muriel Merg

Lilian Muriel Merg left this earthly life Friday, Aug. 8, 2014. Her instructions were for a “brief obituary.” As the oldest child and, therefore, somewhat stubborn, I will defy her wishes this one last time.

Lilian was born to Thomas and Lillian (Hothersall) Hunt in their home in Preston, England, on Oct. 11, 1932.

She immigrated to Canada in 1957 and then to the States a year later. Lilian raised her family in California while using her amazing organizational skills to keep many business offices running efficiently. She retired to Whidbey Island in 1995 with her best friend and husband, Horst Ulrich Merg, to whom she was married on May 17, 1958. He preceded her in leaving this life on Feb. 12, 2004.

Lilian was an avid gardener, bringing her love of the English garden with her from her homeland. Her gardens were always filled with flowering bushes, lush green trees and, yes, a fairy at the bottom of the garden.

She was accomplished in needlepoint, sewing and knitting and always had some project in the basket. Lilian and Horst were adventuresome travelers, visiting their homelands regularly as well as places like China, Russia, New Zealand, the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Rain Forest. Lilian was a volunteer at the Oak Harbor Senior Center and enjoyed her Friday pinochle games.

Lilian is survived by her children, Catherine Passey and Mike (Jen) Merg; her grandchildren, Heather, Megan and Joshua Passey; her siblings, Cyril (Maureen) Hunt, Kathleen (John) Pearson, Norman (Sheila) Hunt and Richard (June) Hunt; her in-law siblings, Annelore Merg, Wilfred (Trudl) Merg and Klaus Merg; 16 nieces and nephews; and many wonderful neighbors and friends.

In accordance with Lilian’s wishes, there will be no funeral/memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, memo-

Michael L. Louis

Jan. 31, 1935 – Aug. 6, 2014 Mike was born in Long Beach, Calif., on Jan. 31, 1935.

His parents were Adrian (Larry) and Marian Louis.

Mike mainly grew up in Bellflower, Calif. On July 25, 1965, Mike married Janet in Las Vegas. He served in the U.S. Navy for 30 years, retiring in April 1991 as a CWO4. After retiring, Mike and Janet spent many hours on the road visiting virtually all of the states.

When not driving, he and Janet could be found in Hawaii enjoying life. He enjoyed NASCAR, painting ceramics figurines and jigsaw puzzles. Mike was widowed in July 2012 when Janet went home to be with her Lord.

Mike is survived by brother Stephan Louis; sons, Steven and his wife Denise and Timothy and his wife Kimberly; nine grandchildren, Jamey, Dane, Ashley, Andrew, Fabriece, Mikkel, Brenna, Megan and Paul; and nine great-grandchildren, Vanessa, Reiley, Bailey, Blake, Cameo, Leighlah, Trey, Aidan and Sidney.

A celebration of his life will be held at 4 p.m. Monday, Aug. 18, at his home, 2446 Monticello Way, Oak Harbor, WA 98277. Food will be provided.

Wolves welcome new VB coach

Smedley takes over

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

A strong feeder program is the key to success, according to new Coupeville High School volleyball coach Breanne Smedley.

Smedley begins her first year at the helm this fall, replacing Kirsty Croghan.

Croghan, who coached the team only one year, resigned because the commute from her home and job in La Connor was too difficult.

Smedley is the third coach in three years but doesn’t see the turnover as a problem.

“The previous two coaches have done a good job of teaching solid volleyball skills and creating a culture of Coupeville volleyball, laying the foundation for me to build upon those skills and knowledge,” Smedley said.

“I plan to handle the transition by getting to know the girls so that I can most effectively coach them, as well as spending time getting everyone on the same page with our philosophy and expectations for the program,” she added. “I hope to build a program that develops and encourages athletes to better themselves on and off the court. This will come through setting expectations for players and cultivating an environment of trust, respect and discipline.”

Breanne Smedley For the program to be a success, according to Smedley, the players must be exposed to volleyball before reaching high school.

“This means that students at the elementary level are gaining interest and looking up to high school players as role models and that the middle school program is consistent with the culture, expectations and basic concepts of the high school program,” Smedley said. “This encourages the long-term growth of the player so that by the time they reach their senior year they will have developed sound skills, tactical awareness and a thorough understanding of the game.”

Smedley also sees volleyball as an avenue to teach students life skills such as

work ethic, discipline and leadership: “My goal is to help all players reach their fullest potential on and off the court.”

Another goal, Smedley said, is to “cultivate an environment” where players feel valued and respect themselves and others.

“Winning is a by-product of a successful program that is built upon an expected high standard of player attitude and behavior but is not an adequate substitute for those values.”

Smedley grew up in Vancouver, Wash., and attended Western Washington University, where she played volleyball. She moved to Whidbey Island last summer when her husband, Brett, accepted a teaching and an assistant football coaching job at Coupeville High School.

Breanne Smedley teaches physical education at Oak Harbor’s Broad View Elementary.

She began coaching while competing for Western, helping at clinics and camps. She coached two years of club volleyball, then she became the varsity assistant at Oak Harbor High School last year.

She also coached seventhand eighth-grade volleyball at Oak Harbor Middle School.

“I was interested in the CHS job because I see a

“Coupeville has a very sup-

Permit required to hunt on NAS Whidbey property People interested in hunting on NAS Whidbey Island property during the 201415 season are invited to attend one of two “One-Stop-Shop” meetings in August and September.

Meetings are scheduled for Aug. 26 and Sept. 16 from 5-7 p.m. at Building 130 at the Gallery Golf Course. Information handouts will cover on-base hunting permit requirements, hunting areas and base access procedures. Hunters may register, pay the $13 permit fee and receive an installation hunting permit.

Civilian hunters may participate in the pheasant release and upland game program on the installation. In order to participate in these on-base hunting programs, all civilian hunters must submit to a National Crime Information Check (NCIC) background check at NAS Whidbey Island prior to being issued and installation hunting permit.

To request access to hunt and get an NCIC

background check, hunters must pick up the required form at the base’s pass and identification office (Building 2853, 360-257-5620) just outside Langley Gate at Ault Field.

Langley Gate is located on Langley Boulevard and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Hunters may complete that form at home or fill it out at the pass and ID office and have their check done on the spot.

When submitting a request, hunters are required to sign it in person at the pass and ID office and present proper identification.

No background check can be initiated after 3 p.m.

Upon successful completion of the background check, hunters will be given documentation that they will need to bring with them when getting their installation hunting permit.

All hunters must have a Washington state hunting license in order to be issued a permit.

There are no vendors of state licenses available on the installation. Hunters must present all licenses for the species they wish to hunt to acquire an installation hunting permit.

Pheasant and upland game hunters must bring their DoD-issued identification or stateissued identification and approved NCIC background check and a Western Washington Pheasant License (with odd/even selection).

Waterfowl hunters must present their DoD-issued identification card, Washington state small game license, state migratory bird validation and federal duck stamp (attached to license and signed across the face).

Deer hunters must present DoD-issued identification card, Washington state big game license with archery only deer option and transport tag.

Questions may be directed to John Phillips, 360-257-8873, at the installation Environmental Office.

tive in our league. It’s about putting those parts together to build a successful program.”

Bowling league for adults with disabilities starts next month The Handy Dandy Bowling League for adults with disabilities is preparing for another season.

The league will meet at 1:30 p.m. each Friday beginning Sept. 5. The cost is $6.75 for two games. The fee includes shoe rental and an end-ofthe-season party.

The league, which is noncompetitive, will bowl cross lane, keep score and follow bowling etiquette and manners.

Bowlers are required to provide their own aid if necessary.

LONELY ELK CONTINUED FROM A1

near the same area, the elk is believed to be the only one living on Whidbey Island.

Some speculate that it split from its herd on the mainland and swam across Skagit Bay. Lemke, who lives in the Strawberry Point area, said she’s seen the elk about five times and has heard him bugling.

Lemke said she and others in the neighborhood are protective of him, yet she’s a little concerned by what she saw this last sighting during her early morning drive.

“I noticed he was much more slender,” she said. “The last time I saw him before, he was in his full bulk.

“Now he looks so skinny, but the rack was huge.”

started walking alongside her car as she drove slowly, Lemke glancing at the animal out her passenger-side window.

Eventually, the elk crossed the street and trotted away into a field as Lemke took a photograph.

“I told my friends, ‘He took me for a walk,’” Lemke said.

The Aug. 5 sighting of the elk near Strawberry Point on North Whidbey Island was confirmation that it has survived for nearly two years on the island.

BALLOTS CONTINUED FROM A1

mary election determines which two candidates will move forward to the general election in November, regardless of their party affiliation.

As of the most recent ballot count, held Thursday, two of the county’s races are very close.

In the race for Island County treasurer, former deputy treasurer Wanda Grone is just 12 votes ahead of escrow manager Christa Canell.

The final count will determine which of them will face incumbent Ana Maria Nuñez in November’s general election.

Nunez took is guaranteed a place on the November ballot having received 45 percent of the vote.

For the Island County District No. 3 commissioner seat, one Democrat and four Republicans sought the position that represents North Whidbey and Camano Island.

Democrat Karla Jacks, of Camano Island, took the lead in the commissioner race with 48 percent of the vote. Republican Rick

Saturday, August 16, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

Hannold received the second highest number of votes with 15 percent, just 47 votes more than number-three finisher Aubrey Vaughan.

Vaughan, also a Republican, is currently serving as interim commissioner, appointed to the seat vacated by Republican Kelly Emerson.

A total of 226 ballots had late post marks, six ballots did not come in the required blue signature envelope, and one envelope had two ballots in it, neither of which could be counted, according to the Auditor’s office.

Each ballot must correspond with a name and address of the voter that appears on the blue signature envelope, according to state law.

Last year, only 111 primary ballots were rejected.

Making up the Canvas Board, which oversees the vote counts, are the chairwoman of the Island County commissioners, currently Jill Johnson, and representatives from both the county prosecutor’s and auditor’s offices.

“It was difficult to see so many ballots go uncounted, especially knowing that those ballots could have clarified the will of the voters in many races,” said

RENDEZVOUS CONTINUED FROM A1 Longtime attendees such as Irish, who’s from Bellevue, expected to see a lot of familiar faces among the camps and spotted two immediately in Don and Margaret Abel of Kenmore.

Don Abel, 83, got his mountain-man name of “Ram” by saving a Mescalero Apache medicine man.

Abel said he and the medicine man were hunting for obsidian and other rocks in the mountains when the medicine man “went white-knuckled” and froze on a narrow ledge.

The medicine man called for Ram to help him.

As he maneuvered his way over to his friend, Abel said, “Watchin’ me get to him, he lost his fear.”

The medicine man told Ram that he had never seen anyone, except mountain goats and rams, move so comfortably on a mountain the way he had just seen Abel do.

And that is how Ram got his name.

Ram was among a group of “mountain men” who come from other parts of Washington to set up a rendezvous similar to those found pre-1840.

Rendezvous are held nearly every weekend around the state during the summer.

They are based on three- to four-week meetings during the early to mid 19th century in which trappers from the mountains met the traders of the cities at an agreed-upon location.

The mountain men would pick up ammunition, black powder for their guns, flour and salt, and other supplies. They would then make their way back to their mountain homes and remain until the rendezvous next summer.

City dwellers would trade for beaver skins, which mountain man Hollett says were for the “fancy folks on the East Coast.”

Johnson.

“The process for counting ballots is clear and as hard as it was to reject the 233 ineligible ballots, it was also a real moment of pride to realize how seriously we value each and every vote and how fair and just our voting process is,” she said.

While the rejected ballots were not reflected in the county’s most recent vote count, the more than 100 votes remaining could determine the outcome of the closest races.

Approximately 170 residents were notified by mail if they did not remember to sign the envelope or if the signature didn’t match, Reagan said. Of those, 80 have not been fixed by voters. Those voters have until 4 p.m. Aug. 18 to correct signature issues.

Reagan said that between 50-60 valid ballots received after the county’s most recent vote count will be added to the final tally.

The primary election is slated to be certified Tuesday, Aug. 19.

The totals will be announced during a Canvas Board meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday. The certified results will be posted after that meeting.

Hollett, who goes by Rabbi, said he has been setting up at the Coupeville site at 397 Safari Lane for a week.

Hollett said he made everything but his Cheyenne medicine teepee.

Twenty-five years ago, he didn’t even know what a rendezvous was.

Hollett was then president of the Sportsmen’s Association and saw the mountain men setting up outside, so he asked if they needed help.

That was the first year he and his wife Tammy started participating.

The mountain men invited the couple to stay that night. There were fiddles and guitars, and Hollett and his wife had a good time.

“The following year I had a teepee,” Hollett said. The year after that, he was dressed up and he was hooked.

“People don’t think about the pre-1840s any more,” Hollett said.

This weekend, the reenactors will cook everything on open fires, shoot black powder rifles and pistols, wear animal hides, and have nothing visible that isn’t pre-1840.

Clothing made of animal hides and furs, jewelry, cast-iron cooking supplies, leather goods, beads, bags, furniture, clay pots, and more will be available for sale.

While the rendezvous is open to the public, Primitive, which is in the back, is just for people who are in character.

Among the mountain men are construction workers, doctors and office workers, Hollett said “There’s a lot of bragging … competition … storytelling.”

You won’t find a more friendly, honest group of people because they go out of their way to help each other, Don Abel added.

“I’ve done it since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I’ve been an outdoorsman all my life. I don’t like concrete jungles.

“It’s the love of history,” Abel said.

“It’s a wonderful life … After 40 years, this is our family.”

The Garage of Blessings moves to larger, more visible location, making giving, shopping easier

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

After The Garage of Blessings opened its doors at a new, more spacious location Monday, Kristiina Miller counted 200 customers in the first hour and estimates that 500 came by the end of the day.

The customers to this unique Oak Harbor thrift store, where everything is free, keep coming, as do the donations from the community.

Miller, who founded the store in 2012, was running around Wednesday, helping customers and directing a large team of volunteers, who sort through items and get them on the shelves as quickly as they can, among other tasks.

Four volunteers had trouble keeping up with a mountain of bags that piled up in a room in front where donations are accepted.

“We can’t even walk in here,” volunteer Alexandra Sizemore said, only halfjoking.

The Oak Harbor community’s generosity is heartwarming to Miller. The

number of people who come into her store searching for clothes, furniture, toys or household items illustrates how challenging it is for many people in Oak Harbor and surrounding communities to afford such things.

Her store also teams up with Helping Hands, a group from Grace Community Church, every second and fourth Wednesday of the month to provide free toiletry items for visitors.

“There’s a need,” Miller said.

Miller started The Garage of Blessings out of her own home garage on the Sea Plane base in 2012 and moved it into a 1,500-square foot industrial garage four months later. The location has moved three more times into bigger spaces as need and donations both continued to grow.

Its current site, a 4,000-square foot facility at 3159 Goldie Road, Unit A, is still in the North Whidbey Island Business Park; however, it’s now out front in a more visible spot that is easier to access.

“It’s a blessing,” longtime volunteer Shila Moffett said.

Alexandra Sizemore, a volunteer with The Garage of Blessings, carries stools into the store Wednesday while other volunteers sort through more donated items. The thrift store, which offers items at no cost, moved to a larger location on Goldie Road.

One feature of the new store is a ‘Wall of Blessings,’ where visitors express their appreciation for the items they receive.

The new store has new hours. It is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays, 5–7 p.m. Tuesdays, noon–5 p.m. Wednesdays, 5–7 p.m.

Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Fridays and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Saturdays (spring and summer only). The hours also reflect when donations may

be received.

The donations kept coming Wednesday as vehicles backed up to the store and were met by volunteers, who helped carry the items in.

“I was originally a shopper here,” Sizemore said as she sorted through a bag of donated clothing. “I’d gotten so much cool stuff here. It was such a blessing to my family. I got so much so I wanted to give back.”

Twenty-six volunteers help Miller accomplish her mission of helping those in the community who need it the most. She spent part of her youth in the foster care system and can relate to the struggles of some in the community.

The new store features separate rooms with dif-

ferent items. One room is designated for the homeless and is filled with jackets, blankets, bed rolls, tarps and tents.

“You can pretty much furnish an entire house in here,” Miller said.

Miller and her volunteers get a boost by helping others any way they can.

“I love seeing the customers’ faces,” Moffett said.

Julie Curtis and Sizemore live in Oak Harbor because their husbands serve at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. They like being a part of what The Garage of Blessings represents and enjoy the camaraderie in the store.

“It’s inspiring,” Curtis said.

Community pledging to help make first day of school special

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

The significance of a brand new item of clothing isn’t lost on Kristiina Miller.

Growing up in different households in foster care, she spent a large portion of her youth wearing hand-me-down clothing. Then, one Christmas, she received a gift that made her feel differently. It was a new Mickey Mouse T-shirt.

She wasn’t necessarily a big fan of Mickey Mouse, but memories of how she felt about that shirt stick with her.

“All I remember was that it was brand new,” she said.

Understanding how much of a difference a new item of clothing can make to children, Miller is spearheading a sponsorship drive she calls “Operation School Clothes.”

It’s part of a collaborative effort between The Garage of Blessings, the Oak Harbor non-profit thrift store Miller founded, and the Opportunity Council of Island County.

The intent is to make the start of the school year extra special for children from families with low or no incomes.

The Opportunity Council is providing free backpacks and school supplies to more than 300 school-aged children in need in Oak Harbor and Coupeville.

Miller is spearheading a sponsorship drive to outfit as many of those kids as possible with a new outfit or a new pair of shoes for the first day of school.

She’s already received commitments from 259 people in the community interested in purchasing clothes or shoes for a child and will continue to accept commitments until Aug. 25.

That number is more than double the number of sponsors from last year and more than triple the first year.

“I am so impressed by the heart of this community and what they’re doing,” Miller said.

From a list she gets from the Opportunity Council that shows eligible children, Miller is

able to provide the sponsor only the child’s grade, gender and clothing size.

Those interested in sponsoring a child, may call Miller at 360-679-1239 or email to thega rageofblessings@yahoo.com The Garage of Blessings is located at 3159 Goldie Road, Unit A, in Oak Harbor.

That will be the site where children will receive their new clothes and shoes the evening of Sept. 2.

It also will be the site of free haircuts by professionals provided Aug. 25, 27 and 29.

“Last year, we cut over 100 kids’ hair,” Miller said.

“It’s only going to get bigger this year.”
