Whidbey General slapped with lawsuit Defense attorney says money, bad blood behind accusations

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The woman allegedly assaulted by the head nurse at

Whidbey General Hospital has filed a lawsuit against the hospital district.

An attorney representing Linda Gipson, chief nursing officer, took the offensive during an interview with the Whidbey News-Times this week. Andrew Schwarz of the Seattle firm Schwarz-Garrison called the lawsuit and the criminal allegations against his client “absurd.”

“It’s an outrageous abuse of the legal system both in terms of the civil action and the criminal action,” he said.

Officials at both the sheriff’s office and the prosecutor’s office, however, said they are simply doing their jobs without bias and that the criminal case against Gipson is based on a thorough investigation with multiple independent witnesses.

Prosecutors charged Gipson with fourth-degree assault earlier this year. The pretrial hearing in District Court was recently reschduled to Dec. 2.

Candidates take differing views on transit, marijuana

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The two candidates running for Island County District 3 seat offer differing views on top county issues like the legalization of marijuana and dealing with recent problems at Island Transit.

Democrat Karla Jacks, of Camano Island, said that she would have done the same as the board did earlier this year and allowed for the sale of recreational marijuana in Island County.

“I would have because the voters of Island County overwhelmingly supported it,” Jack said.

Rick Hannold, a Republican who lives on North Whidbey, said he would absolutely have not supported recreational marijuana in the county.

“I don’t like any industry that makes its money off the vices of others,” Hannold said. “I personally think that marijuana is an entry-level drug. If I had been sitting on the board of commissioners when they decided … I would have voted ‘no.’”

Mentors lend helping hands to mothers

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

After bringing a life into the world, Oak Harbor resident Monica Mare came to discover an unfortunate truth.

Motherhood can be lonely.

While her husband went to his job each day, the first-time mother said she felt isolated and a little overwhelmed in caring for a preemie baby who neither sleeps well at night nor likes riding in cars.

Fortunately, she came upon a brochure for Mother Mentors, a Whidbey Island nonprofit group that matches families with trained volunteers who nurture mothers and other caregivers of young children by providing practical and emotional support.

Mare said she now looks forward to the days when Julie Ward, a Mother Mentor volunteer from Oak Harbor, stops by to help out. While Ward plays or reads with the little boy, who’s nearly 1 years old and has beautiful brown eyes, Mare has time to take a shower, bathe the dog or start supper.

“It’s just a little breather,” Mare said. “It’s so helpful.”

Mother Mentors is grow-

ing and evolving. Kate McVay, the director of the group, said that interest has especially expanded on North Whidbey, where many more volunteers are needed.

A four-hour training program is coming up on Monday, Oct. 27 for those who are interested.

Mother Mentors has also taken over the Baby Connections program at the Toddler Learning Center in Oak Harbor. It’s now called Playscape North; the original Playscape is in Langley.

McVay explained that the free, facilitated program is for children from birth to 36 months old and their caregivers. Adults and children play together and engage in learning activities designed to stimulate healthy development.

“Believe it or not, some parents don’t know how to play with a child,” McVay said, adding that children learn through play.

In addition, the Playscape is a place where parents of young children can meet, share their experiences and support one another.

“It’s a great place to have an adult conversation,” she said.

Julie Ward, right, reads to Monica Mare’s 1-year-old son. Ward is a volunteer with the Mother Mentors, a group that matches mentors with families with small children.

McVay said the goal of both Playscape and the inhome volunteer program is to nurture mothers and other caregivers of small children in a nonjudgemental way. It’s not about experts telling peo-

ple how to parent, but neigh- dent Kristin Lasher started bors lending a helping hand Mother Mentors five years and maybe sharing a few ago. Her touching and honest story about her own tricks of the parents trade.

“In 2008, now a grandmother, I knew what I still wanted to do in life,” she wrote. “I wanted to gather mothers like me to give support to new mothers. It is basic and ancient work.”

McVay said while mentors tend to be women who have grown children, both men and women are welcome.

McVay matches parents and mentors who have similar parenting styles. Mare credits her with getting her match with Ward just right.

She said she’s very thankful that Ward came into her life.

Ward said she started volunteering as a Mother Mentor this summer. She said she remembers being a scared young mother 27 years ago.

“I remember getting out of the hospital and not knowing what to do,” she said, adding that a neighbor and the La Leche League gave her invaluable support.

Ward is a strong believer in the importance of mothering, which she describes as “important, skilled work.”

Still, she admits that volunteering to spend time with the adorable little boy isn’t all selfless.

“You miss the little ones when they grow up,” she said. n For more information, check out the group’s website or Facebook page, call 1-888-265-6151 or email wamothermentors@gmail. com

Oak Harbor forms Main Street program board

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

After years of tossing around the idea, a group of Oak Harbor business owners and community members met last week to take the first concrete steps toward bringing the Main Street program to the City of Oak Harbor.

The initial Main Street meeting, held Oct. 1 at Flyers Restaurant and Brewery, resulted in the formation of a nine-member interim board of directors, two sub-committees and action taken on the group’s name.

“It’s going to be called the Oak Harbor Main Street Association,” said Margaret Livermore, who’s serving as president of the interim board.

Livermore, founding board member and president of Garry Oak Gallery in downtown, said one subcommittee was formed to identify the Main Street mission and boundaries within the city, while another is reviewing other Main Street organizations’ bylaws and articles of incorporation and developing the Oak Harbor association’s own set of documents.

Another process that has begun is applying for 501(c) (3) nonprofit status.

Main Street is a national program that is geared toward preserving and revitalizing a city’s historic downtown core.

“I like to describe the program as a comprehensive approach to economic development that’s rooted in historic preservation,” said Sarah Hansen, Washington State Main Street coordinator.

Member associations are provided training, technical assistance and access to workshops and conferences to learn how to run and promote their groups. They also receive tax incentives and other benefits geared at rewarding contributions made toward promoting Main Street efforts.

Livermore said she didn’t go into the meeting planning to become president but is excited to tackle the new opportunity.

“They looked at me and said, ‘Why don’t you do it, Margaret? You’ve set up things like this before,’ ” Livermore said.

As president of the Oak Harbor Music Festival, Livermore has experience with setting up that organization as a nonprofit in fewer than five months.

Livermore said she is hoping for the Oak Harbor Main

Street Association to meet its requirements, select its first permanent board of directors and get Main Street officially off and running by spring or summer of 2015.

“It could be a year,” she said. “Who knows?”

The group decided to include the city name in the association title because the efforts and benefits that come with Main Street will encompass the entire city.

Part of the mission is to make Oak Harbor more of a destination, she said.

“We want to find a way to create an environment where people will want to come and stop here,” Livermore said.

“Oak Harbor has a lot to offer. We need to make it so people know that.”

Joining the interim board are Rhonda Severns, vice president; Kathy Collantes, treasurer; and Christine Dudley, secretary.

Other interim board members are Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Christine Cribb and City Councilman Bob Severns, as well as busi-

ness owners Ron Apgar, Jason Tritt and Gregg Lanza.

The association will meet the first Tuesday of each month. The next meeting is Nov. 4 at the chamber of commerce office.

“The chamber has a great opportunity to promote and support events with Main Street,” Cribb said. “Main Street has a great success record in the cities that it’s in. It points our city in a great direction.”

“I’m just pleased that after 10 years of being in business (in Oak Harbor) that Main Street is moving forward,” said Apgar, owner of Paint Your World on Pioneer Way. If the effort succeeds, Oak Harbor would be the third Whidbey Island community to adopt Main Street.

Although there are 110 communities in Washington affiliated with Main Street in some capacity, Coupeville and Langley are among a group of 30 that participate in the Main Street Tax Credit Incentive program.

The tax incentive program allows contributors who

The Main Street program is geared toward revitalizing Oak Harbor’s downtown core. donate through the program to receive a 75 percent tax credit on their state Business & Occupation or Public Utility tax, Hansen said.

Oak Harbor’s group is interested in going in that direction, which is considered “tier 2,” in terms of a level of involvement.

Tier 1 status with Main Street involves national certification.

Port Townsend and Mount Vernon are among 13 programs in the state that have earned that distinction.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley has been in communication with Hansen and others for roughly a year to learn more about bringing the Main Street program to Oak Harbor.

The city served as a facilitator to get the process to a certain point and into the

hands of an interim board of directors, said Ethan Spoo, economic development coordinator for the city.

“We are going to continue to provide staff support as far as facilitating meetings and providing advice and research,” Spoo said.

“At this point, it’s more their animal than ours, which is what the important transition was that took place (Oct. 1).”

Whidbey wineries earn top awards

Seattle Wine Awards

Staff reporter

angley’s Ott & Murphy Wines tops the list of winners from Whidbey Island winners for the 2014 Seattle Wine Awards.

Ott & Murphy received a total of eight awards, including three coveted Double Gold awards for wines created from Eastern Washington Rhone grapes.

“Washington has an ideal climate for growing these grapes,” said Ott & Murphy manager Bob Thurmond.

“We have the benefit of having the varietals; why wouldn’t we make really great wines?”

The Seattle Wine Awards is the largest yearly evaluation of Washington State wines. A panel of local, national and international wine professionals gather in April to taste wines in a single-blind format in which grape variety or style is known, but not price or producer.

Among the approximately 1,300 wine entries submitted to the prestigious Seattle Wine Awards, Ott & Murphy scored high, winning double

All four wineries are on South Whidbey.

“People love them,” said Spoiled Dog Winery owner Karen Krug of her two

award-winning wines.

Spoiled Dog won gold for its 2012 Deception cabernet franc and merlot blend and silver for its 2012 Malbec.

Wines that earn recognition in the Seattle Wine Awards must achieve professional consensus in order to receive an award. These honors are of the highest recognition a winery can earn in the state of Washington.

OPEN HOUSE

The Windermere Foundation will host its annual fundraiser this week to help families in crisis.

The fundraiser is 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge.

A raffle will be followed by live music provided by Johnny “Bulldog” Tristao of Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

A cash bar will be open and finger food available.

Proceeds from the event go to local organizations such as the Opportunity Council, North Whidbey Help House and other shelters and charities that help homeless and low-income families.

“Crisis comes in many ways and for families with children, becoming homeless is one of the most devastating,” said Lisa Clark, director of the Island County Opportunity Council.

Clark said in 2013 Opportunity Council sheltered 29 homeless families and that the Windermere Foundation has been a “godsend” in helping to meet the needs and providing services — especially to children.

“Whether it is new coats and backpacks or the sponsorship of a shelter unit, Windermere comes through when there are no

other options,” Clark said.

Foundation representative Annie Cash said that for the past 25 years the Windermere Foundation has donated a portion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold toward supporting low-income and homeless families.

“Since 2007, the Oak Harbor Windermere alone has invested over $50,000 solely into our community,” Cash said.

“It is our privilege to provide another avenue of assistance for local families in crisis.”

Each year the foundation purchases new winter coats, socks, hats and gloves for each child living in Marjie’s House, a local women and children’s shelter, Cash said.

Approximately $2,000 is contributed to the Opportunity Council, helping nearly 350 kids with new school supplies; new underwear for all ages is provided to the Oak Harbor School District homeless liaison; donations are made to the North Whidbey Help House; and the North Whidbey Medical Safety Net has received $1,500 from the Windermere Foundation. n For more information or to purchase tickets for the event, call 360-675-5953.

Schools score above average County delays approval of budget for possible cuts

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Oak Harbor schools proved their merit in the 2013-14 standardized test scores.

In the 25 tested areas and grades, 23 of those areas were at or above the state’s average, with 18 of those areas being significantly higher.

The three areas with the largest positive difference to the state average were seventh grade reading, with 11.6 percent difference, seventh grade writing, with 8.5 percent difference, and fifth grade math, with 8 percent difference.

“It looks like we’re making good progress on the work we’ve been doing for a number of years,” said Assistant Superintendent Steve King. “It’s positive indications for us.”

Oak Harbor schools Superintendent Lance Gibbon said that for a long time, district scores were very even with state averages.

“Seeing that separation, seeing the improvement in learning … seeing that all pay off is really rewarding,” Gibbon said.

There were a few areas that, while considered “at” state average, were slightly below, but no more than by 1.8 percent.

Two areas, however, were below the state average. Eighth grade math was 3.4 percent below state average, but King said the district doesn’t know why. He said it’s something principals and teachers will have to look into improving this year.

The other area where there was a negative difference was fourth grade writing, 13.6 percent lower than state average.

This drop, however, is easily understandable.

During the 2014-15 school year, standardized testing will change from the Measurements of Student Progress tests to Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium tests, which King said are

completely different in the writing department, as it combines writing and reading comprehension instead of having two separate tests for it.

With the old testing, students wrote essays GIBBON based off a prompt, but in the new testing, the writing assignments are based off of a provided text and using the information in that to “generate a narrative,” Gibbon explained.

Last school year, the district focused on getting students prepared for the new common core standards instead of teaching to the test that they had, King said.

The hope is that the change in focus will pay off this year and in future years.

“That’s our hope,” King said. “When we decided to focus on the Smarter Balance and the common core standards … the hope will be that in the long term, it will help us more.”

The change is being made on a state and national level, with some states having already made the change.

The expectation is that test scores in Washington state will drop some because of the change, King said, but added he hopes that in the writing level, it will even out with state averages at least.

“The majority of it really isn’t significantly different,” Gibbon said. “Much of what we’ve been doing, we’ll continue to do.”

Gibbon added that test scores in the state as a whole are expected to drop with the change.

“Initially, the results statewide are going to be down,” he said.

“That doesn’t mean the students aren’t proficient, it just means that they’re adjusting to the standards and they’re adjusting to the test.”

Commissioners advised against overspending

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Island County commissioners will be revisiting their preliminary budget after Budget Director Elaine Marlow presented numbers that paint a bleak future for the county if spending isn’t curbed.

“Our proposed budget might be too aggressive,” commissioner Jill Johnson said. “I would ask the board that we continue this process to work through some of our choices.”

The board will review the budget during work sessions set for Wednesday, Oct. 8 and perhaps Monday, Oct. 13 if necessary, followed by a regular meeting and public hearing on Monday, Oct. 20.

approved last year but was afterward removed from the ballot when reserve funding was able to pay for four new sheriff’s deputies.

Two more deputies and security equipment and a security staffer for district court have been funded in this year’s preliminary budget as well. In exchange for dropping the law and justice levy, commissioner committed to funding two deputies a years for the next few years.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said that while last year’s investment in law and justice was a “first down payment” on bringing services back to previous levels, the board should carefully make choices moving forward.

“Now we need to look to the future and find a longer term strategy,” Price Johnson said.

Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan voted with Johnson and Price Johnson to delay the budget approval pending additional board discussion.

Marlow said that despite an uptick of sales and permit revenues for the county this year, she displayed for commissioners a graphic showing that the county’s expenses would eventually eat up its reserves over time as the budget currently stands.

The budget garnered little public interest Monday as only Prosecutor Greg Banks gave public comment and those in attendance were mainly department heads.

Given the tough choices the county will continue to have to make moving forward, Banks said the commissioners may want to revisit the idea of a law-and-justice levy.

Banks said if the county is unable to meet their commitments to fund law and justice from their regular budget, “it’s not good news for law and justice or for the rest of the county.”

IN OUR OPINION Recognition by our peers is the greatest reward for our staff The staff of the Whidbey News-Times has reason to celebrate this week after taking home 11 awards Friday for excellence in journalism.

The honors were bestowed on the newspaper’s staff during the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association Better Newspaper Contest.

Community newspapers from all across Washington state submitted entries in writing, photography, design and advertising.

Individually, News-Times reporters won various awards for editorial and photography.

Co-editor and longtime News-Times reporter Jessie Stensland won awards for stories that received regional press, such as the sentencing of Joshua Lambert, who was convicted of killing two people.

Judges praised Stensland for taking a more personal approach to the story and having multiple sources.

Her story following Oak Harbor City Council’s handling of felling of the oak tree at the post office was praised for pushing government accountability at the ground level.

Reporter Janis Reid received recognition for stories centered on issues with new Tricare rules and safety concerns around Ala Spit.

For the first time in many years, the News-Times placed in the General Excellence category for its circulation group.

Placing third overall, the newspaper was judged as an entire package — from design and stories to ad placement.

Judges said the News-Times “packs a lot of news on the front page and provides a satisfying variety of coverage.”

Staff was praised for have straightforward news coverage as well as features that have an emotional or community connection.

For the staff, winning general excellence and receiving these comments is especially exciting because it confirms what they strive for every day.

As a newspaper, we strive to provide community journalism that readers care about and have a connection to.

Producing a newspaper twice a week isn’t a simple task. There are many parts and pieces and numerous people involved throughout the process. Knowing that our peers recognize the commitment to quality journalism and serving our community is the greatest reward.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Island Transit

Right the wrong and reinstate Martha Rose

Editor, This is in response to Reustle Lindner’s Oct. 1 letter to the editor.

First of all, Sandra Kuykendall was a contracted employee, and her contract was up Sept. 30, so you can’t threaten her with her job with your McCarthyism.

Secondly, she never composed any emails to “all employees” but did forward a definition of a word from Wikipedia. I can see where your politics would have the perspective that this would be “back-handed and threatening” since the word was “McCarthyism.”

Several employees asked for the actual definition, so she sent it to “all” with no comments.

Your letter is a classic example of this word.

By the way, the definition is: “… reckless, unsubstantiated accusations as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries.”

Demogogic: “A political leader who

tries to get support by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason.”

Island Transit would best be served by righting the wrong caused by the demagogic pressure the board faced by reinstating Martha Rose.

Chuck Kuykendall Retired Island Transit Employee Coupeville

Election

Treasurer needs to take responsibility

Editor, In response to Ms. Ana Maria Nuñez’s Oct. 1 letter to the editor, I am truly surprised by her lack of selfresponsibility and tendency to always place blame.

Just do the job, will you?

Ms. Nuñez is not responsive to her constituents — us — when in the office or while telecommuting, as she claims.

During the first half of the year, numerous errors occurred that caused many of us taxpayers to contact Ms. Nuñez. Ms. Nuñez amassed about 1,500 calls without bothering to listen to our requests or responding to any

of us.

There were so many calls in her inbox that the county phone system was put in jeopardy and all calls were deleted as they were detrimental to the system operations.

I think we deserve better than this from our treasurer.

Earlier in the year, when an accounting error was exposed, Ms. Nuñez blamed the Assessor’s Office, once again refusing to shoulder any responsibility.

Placing blame is certainly a talent but not one that residents of Island County need from their treasurer.

I’m a Democrat and cannot support Ms. Nuñez for treasurer; she just isn’t doing her job.

Karen Shaak Coupeville

Nuñez is dedicated to her job, staff

Editor, I am writing this letter to address the outright lies saying that my wife, Ana Maria Nuñez, your Island County treasurer, is not dedicated to her work and the citizens of this county.

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A 6

As a 23-year veteran, I’m fully aware of what it means to be dedicated, and I can honestly say Ana Maria exemplifies that.

She works evenings and weekends when needed. The staff knows they can contact her if there are questions or issues that they feel need her attention or clarification.

This past spring, Ana Maria was diagnosed with cancer. Though we recently went through this illness with her sister and mother, we were overwhelmed when faced with it ourselves.

She scheduled her surgery so as not to be absent when month-end reporting needed to be completed. She returned to work half-days the following week because she knew the office was short staffed. She scheduled her daily treatments and appointments in the afternoons so she could work daily.

So, I ask you, is this the behavior of a person that is out of the office 50 percent of the time as alleged by her opponent?

Do not believe the misinformation that is being said by her opponent. Attend the upcoming debates in October and get the facts so that you may make a more informed decision come November.

Her accomplishments serve as proof of her commitment. Vote to retain Ana Maria d Nuñez as your Island County treasurer so that she can continue to serve Island County citizens with honor.

Carlos Nuñez Oak Harbor

Cannot risk having air station ‘Jacked’ Editor, In 1991, Whidbey Island Naval Air station was placed on the Base Realignment and Closure list for closure.

According to a Seattle Times article at the time, this listing was due to: political pressure to look at “alternatives” to the Outlying Field Coupeville and a small, vocal group, “WISE,” that proclaimed major health

impacts with Navy training.

This listing shocked the county where 55 percent of the jobs base — per the final BRAC report — would have been lost. The larger community went “all out” to show the value of Whidbey and, after a minor miracle, NAS Whidbey was taken of the list.

Today, the 1991 BRAC scenario is unfolding again.

We now have a politician, Karla Jacks, who stated, “The neighbors of the OLF bear the brunt of the noise from Navy aircraft; both Camano and Whidbey island residents hear and feel the impacts as well,” and, “We need to work on alternatives to the Navy’s training air operations sites …” That was in her April newsletter.

And, based on the Washington state public disclosure website, she received significant funding from persons who signed Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve’s moveon.org petition, which promotes closure of OLF Coupeville.

Additionally, COER President Michael Monson congratulated Jacks on her campaign Facebook site with, “Way to go! Good luck.”

Ironically, her next Facebook message asks for more campaign funding.

COER, with many legacy WISE members, is aggressively engaging with Island County commissioners in their attempt to gain that same 1991 political traction.

COER members contributed to Helen Price Johnson’s campaign and are now focused on that second seat.

COER knows that having one or two commissioners promoting their bogus claims from “permanent hearing damage” to “heart disease” could sway the Department of Defense to look at “alternatives,” as they did in 1991.

Defense experts predict the next BRAC round will occur in 2017 or shortly after.

Having worked on many basing studies and with anticipated force structure changes, Whidbey squadrons can be absorbed at other bases.

Moreover, NAS Whidbey won’t exist without OLF — all

other major air stations have two or three active runways — this is well-known.

We should follow the lead of other bases, like Wright Patterson, which is preparing for BRAC by rallying their community and politicians — not electing “at-risk” leaders.

They know that community support, symbolized by the political leadership comments, has always been a major BRAC factor.

Jacks recently tried to “correct the record” in a letter to the editor; however, the above facts — and money profile — has not changed.

She can truly correct the record by stating unequivocal support for NAS Whidbey and pledging not to ask for “alternatives”; stating that COER’s “over-the-top” accusations are not validated by a single, submitted claim; and returning any funding from COER members who are actively trying to close OLF Coupeville or Ault Field.

Without these actions, we simply can’t risk 30,000 jobs of our county neighbors such as teachers, cooks, retailers, mechanics, truck drivers, the quality training for the aircrews going into harm’s way for us, and 88 percent of our economic activity and tax base per a Washington state study.

Simply put, we can’t risk “Jacking” the Navy out of Whidbey.

Scott Smith Oak Harbor

I-594

Don’t sell votes to a billionaire

Editor, I could only hope one would get their facts accurate before attempting to rebut another’s “misstatements and misunderstanding” concerning Initiative 594. This is in reference to Art Huffine’s Sept. 27 letter to the editor.

And please, don’t tell others how to vote.

I feel Gary Raster’s Sept.

10 letter to the editor in reference was spot on. It also

THEY REPRESENT YOU U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen: Washington, DC, office: 2113 Rayburn Office Building, Washington, DC 20515, 202-225-2605.

Everett office: 2930 Wetmore Ave. Suite 9F, Everett, WA 98201, 425-252-3188, Bellingham office: 119 N. Commercial St., Suite 1350, Bellingham, WA 98225 U.S. Sen. Patty Murray: Washington, DC, office: 154 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510, 202-224-2621.

Everett office: 2934 Wetmore Ave., Suite 903, Everett, WA 98201, 425-259-6515 U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell: Washington, DC, office: 311 Hart Senate Office

Building, Washington, DC 20510, 202-2243441. Everett office: 2930 Wetmore Ave., 9B, Everett, WA 98201, 425-303-0114 State Sen. Barbara Bailey: Olympia office: 109-B Irv Newhouse Building, PO Box 40410, Olympia, WA 98504-0410, 360786-7618. Barbara.Bailey@leg.wa.gov State Rep. Norma Smith: PO Box 40600, Olympia, WA 98504-0600, 360-7867884, norma.smith@leg.wa.gov State Rep. Dave Hayes: PO Box 40600, Olympia, WA 98504-0600, 360-7867914, dave.hayes@leg.wa.gov

seems to me that Michael McInerney, in his Sept. 24 letter to the editor, managed to sift through the 18 pages of I-594’s bureaucratic red tape to realize the extensive burdens it would place on law-abiding citizens utilizing firearms in a non-criminal fashion.

Not to mention, the initiative would shift already scarce law enforcement resources away from more serious needs and additional publicly funded personnel to manage the piles of background checks anticipated and to maintain the required database — entries of which are currently backlogged by a year.

Mr. Huffine addressed two of Mr. Raster’s “hysterical rantings”: I-594 funding: He mentioned the Washington Allegiance for Gun Responsibility, or WAGR, as a supporter of this initiative, yet failed to mention Every Town for Gun Safety Action Fund, their main contributor, which is a Michael Bloomberg–funded organization out of New York City.

I hardly consider Michael Bloomberg a “Washington state leader” and/or “local civic leader,” nor a Washington citizen. Do we want out-of-state billionaires buying our votes?

Temporary gun transfers: Of course I-594 addresses the background checks for all gun sales. That is the point proponents are promoting to mislead voters.

It is the extensive, burdensome provisions for the transfers of firearms included in the initiative, despite the narrow exemptions, that will criminalize responsible gun owners, to which I take great exception. I urge everyone to research any issue prior to voting. Please don’t consider yourself an “informed” voter just because you’ve seen a few television commercials.

I’m all for background checks and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.

Let’s get some intelligent legislation that won’t criminalize lawful citizens to deal with this. You can’t change criminal behavior by criminalizing lawful behavior.

Eileen Brown

Local columnist will be missed

Editor, I was extremely saddened when I opened my newspaper this morning to read that Eileen Brown had passed away. Whidbey Island has lost a great voice, one that provided comfort and humor to readers of her local column.

Although I have been reading Eileen’s columns since our first visit to Whidbey Island many years ago, I only recently met this wonderful, warm woman in person. We talked about her columns with WAIF stories and the exploits of her dog Dilly. I told her how much I enjoyed her tales about local people and their lives.

We talked about Parkinson’s, and I complimented her on her determination to get out in public and stay involved with those who loved her.

She ignored any personal discomfort and conducted herself with dignity as she spoke to me with warmth; I felt as though I had known her all my life.

Eileen, know that you touched many people with your writings and brought comfort to your readers.

Thank you for giving so much of yourself in “Still Talking.” You will be very missed.

Stavig

Janis A. ConklinStavig

Janis A. Conklin-Stavig, 76, passed away at home in Anacortes, Wash., Sept. 23, 2014, with family and friends close by, following an inspiring and courageous threeyear battle with ovarian cancer.

Born Janis A. Boettcher in Hood River, Ore., she grew up with her twin sister Jean and their older sister Doris on a farm in Carlton. After graduating from CarltonYamhill High School in 1956, Jan immediately moved to Portland, got a day job and attended night classes at the Portland Art Museum School, studying fine art. She then studied commercial art at the Advertising Art School in Portland. During this time, she worked for Blue Cross of Oregon as head artist in their art-publication department.

In 1963, Jan married Dick Conklin, a rancher from Cove, Ore., and became a ranch wife.

Together they raised three kids, kept horses and more than 200 head of cattle, and farmed more than 400 acres. Jan drove combine, hayed, rounded up cattle on horseback and sometimes nursed half-frozen, earlyborn orphaned calves back to health in her utility room.

She also taught art in Cove

schools and pursued her career as an independent artist.

In 1982, Dick suddenly passed away from heart failure. Jan was immersed in managing the ranch while still working as an artist, raising the kids and helping put the girls through college. During this time, Jan moved across the valley to LaGrande, Ore., in 1984.

Being a “west side” girl at heart, Jan fell in love with and moved to Anacortes in 1989 and got involved in the local art scene.

In 2000, Jan met Charles “Chuck” Stavig at the Edison Eye art gallery and they were married two years later. Jan and Charlie designed and helped build a new home in 2010. This was a totally new venture for her, and one she truly loved.

Jan was predeceased by her sister Doris. Jan is survived by her husband, Charlie, and his sons, Bradford, Brenton and Crane; her sister Jean and her husband, Pete Etchamendy, of Cove; her son, Tim Conklin, of Anacortes, and his children, Shelby, Dustin and Tye; her daughter Lezlie and her husband, James Massey, of Anacortes, and their sons, Nikolaus and Tristan; and her daughter Heather Theny, of Claix, France, and her daughters, Emma and Lucy.

Jan especially wished to express her gratitude to Dr. Theodore Kim for his care and concern and the wonderful and caring staff at the Merle Cancer Care Center at Island Hospital in Anacortes, where she wished any memorial gifts to be sent in her name.

There will be a celebration of life for Jan at 3 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014, at the Croatian Cultural Center, Fifth Street and R Avenue in Anacortes.

Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Jan, please sign the online guest register at www.evan schapel.com

Oak Harbor football team dances by Arlington

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Oak Harbor put the Arlington football team in the center of Wildcat Memorial Stadium and shook the Eagles all-about for a 41-27 win Friday, Oct. 3.

Then the Wildcats formed a giant circle at the 50-yard line and performed the Hokey Pokey, a tradition after winning the homecoming game.

The win was more than a feel-good victory on homecoming-game night.

It established Oak Harbor as the favorite to challenge Marysville-Pilchuck for the divisional title.

The Wildcats, Arlington and Marysville-Pilchuck entered play Friday undefeated in conference action.

Now Oak Harbor and the Tomahawks are on course for a third-straight winnertake-title game Friday, Oct. 24.

Before that can happen, though, the two teams have to navigate through two more weeks of Wesco action.

Next up for Oak Harbor (2-0, 3-1) is a game with Marysville Getchell (0-2, 1-4) at Quil Ceda Stadium at Marysville-Pilchuck High School at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10. M-P, which defeated Getchell 51-7 Friday, plays winless Everett.

In Oak Harbor’s win over Arlington, the key Wildcat possession, ironically, might be the only one that ended in a punt.

The Wildcats were leading 41-14 when Arlington scored on the second play of the fourth quarter and trimmed the lead to 41-20.

The Eagles then recovered an onside kick and appeared to have the momentum to put a dent in the once-secure Oak Harbor lead.

The Wildcats, however, recovered a fumble on the first play after the onside kick and took over on their own 17-yard line with 11:04 left in the game.

When the time-chewing drive ended with the Wildcat punt (a quick-kick by QB Clay Doughty out of the shotgun formation), just 3:10 remained on the game clock, leaving the Eagles with little time to get back into the game.

During the drive, Oak Harbor coach Jay Turner made a gutsy call, going for it on a fourth-and-two at the Oak Harbor 38.

“If we can’t get two yards on fourth down,” Turner said, “we don’t deserve to have the ball.”

Oak Harbor received the opening kickoff and finished a 64-yard drive with a six-yard Dejon Devroe run.

The Eagles completed a 30-yard pass on their first play but fumbled.

Oak Harbor took over at the Eagle 45 and scored on a two-yard Quinn Karney run.

Mark Johnston’s point after was blocked (he hit the other five PAT kicks), and Oak Harbor led 13-0.

Quinn Karney, with the help of a block by Mark Johnston (56), scores for the Wildcats Friday. of its second possession, a 16-yard run, the Eagles coughed up the ball again.

The sting of the turnover, however, was soon soothed.

On the first play after recovering the fumble, Oak Harbor botched an exchange in the backfield and Eagle lineman Benico MadrigalRies scooped up the ball and ran 45 yards for the score.

Oak Harbor then went on a 73-yard scoring drive that spanned the first and second

quarters. Doughty stepped up in the pocket and hit Zach Jones for a 21-yard score on a fourth-and-16 play.

Arlington followed with a score with 5 minutes left in the half, making it 20-14.

The Wildcats scored with two seconds left in the half as Princeton Lollar rammed in from the 1 on fourth down.

After failing to force Arlington to punt in the first half, Oak Harbor stopped the first two Eagle drives of the

second half.

“We changed a few things at half,” Turner said, “and the kids responded and we got some stops.”

Oak Harbor followed each of those Arlington punts with scoring drives, building a 41-14 lead.

First Devroe burned the Eagles on a 77-yard run.

Then Oak Harbor completed a 72-yard drive with a Doughty-to-Dyllan Harris score from the 10.

CHS suffers loss

Swimmers win big

Winning 10 of 12 events, including grabbing the top two spots in six, the Oak Harbor High School swim and dive team swamped Stanwood 120-56 Monday, Oct. 6, at John Vanderzicht Pool.

Mollie Briddell (100-meter freestyle, 1:06.45; 100 backstroke, 1:14.57) and Jillian Pape (diving, 177.25; 100 butterfly, 1:14.03) were double winners in individual events for the Wildcats.

Briddell finished a perfect evening by adding two relay wins. She joined Taliah Black, Lauren Vagt and Molly Vagt to take the 200 medley relay (2:15.73); and Marissa Morris and the Vagts to win the 400 free relay (4:42.18).

Pape helped Oak Harbor sweep the relays, teaming with Erica Sugatan, Morris and Molly Vagt to capture the 200 free relay (2:20.46).

Morris (200 free, 2:21.7), Sophie Dickinson (50 free, 33.26) and Black (100 breaststroke, 1:22.6) rounded out the individual wins for the ‘Cats.

Oak Harbor (5-1) competes at Snohomish (3-5) along with Glacier Peak (4-4) at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14.

Johnston’s kick made it 41-14.

Throughout the game, Oak Harbor softened Arlington with Lollar runs between the tackles. The big sophomore finished with 74 yards on 20 carries. Karney periodically spelled Lollar and added 26 yards on five attempts.

That set up the outside runs of Devroe and Jones.

Devroe ran for 145 yards on 13 carries, and Jones had 84 yards on 13 totes. Devroe also had a 73-yard run erased by a penalty.

Doughty completed seven of nine passes for 99 yards.

Oak Harbor finished with 432 total yards to 239 for the Eagles.

Johnston and Chris Humphries paced the Wildcat defense with seven tackles each; Blaine Coleman recorded a sack.

Oak Harbor’s attention now turns to Marysville Getchell.

“We are looking forward to next week,” Turner said. “They have one of the league’s best running backs outside of Joyner (Austin of Marysville-Pilchuck).”

That weapon is running back Collin Montez.

Going into last Friday’s game, Montez, a 6-foot, 3-inch 190-pound sophomore, had almost twice as many carries and yards as any other Wesco North runner with 137 rushes for 1,031 yards.

Earlier this season, he ran for 314 yard on a whopping 45 carries against Jackson.

Oak Harbor’s Taliah Black heads to a win in the 100 breaststroke Monday. Black also swam on the winning 200-meter medley relay team as the Wildcats glided by Stanwood 120-56.

The Coupeville High School football team lost 49-6 to Klahowya Friday, Oct. 3, in Silverdale.

While the Eagles’ win was a mild surprise, the real shocker was the score.

Coupeville entered the game with a 3-1 record, 2-0 in Olympic League play. Klahowya was 1-3 and 1-1. The Wolves were fresh off a 29-21 win over Port Townsend, a team that defeated Klahowya 22-9.

Coupeville, Klahowya and Port Townsend are tied for first in the four-team division with 2-1 records; Chimacum is 0-3.

Coupeville (3-2) begins round two at Port Townsend at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10.

Coupeville’s lone score was the game’s last.

Backup quarterback C.J. Smith threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Griggs in the fourth quarter.

“Klahowya played their best game, and we played out worst. What else can I say?” Coupeville coach Tony Maggio said.

Farmers markets go out with bang Harvest Fest in Coupeville features relay races, giant pumpkin contest

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

A

lthough the annual Harvest Fest in Coupeville celebrates the end of another harvest season, some farmers will continue to be out in their fields for several more weeks.

“It will go through till the hard frost,” said Valerie Reuther of Rosehip Farm in Coupeville, adding that that usually doesn’t happen until the first week of December.

“It just keeps going until we get a week when it doesn’t get above freezing.”

Still, Saturday’s Harvest Fest marks the end of the farmers markets this year on North and Central Whidbey.

The Oak Harbor Farmers Market ended a 20-week run last week, while Coupeville finishes a 27-week stretch Saturday. It missed a week during the Coupeville Arts & Crafts Festival in August.

Following tradition,

Coupeville likes to go out big.

On tap Saturday are the Harvest Fest Relay Races and the Whidbey Island Giant Pumpkin Contest.

The relay races, a fundraiser for Gifts from the Heart Food Bank, start at noon, followed by the weighoff for the giant pumpkin contest.

The nature of the relay races isn’t disclosed until shortly before the competition begins.

Rosehip is among the teams participating.

“In the past, we’ve caught fish, milked cows, bobbed for apples and thrown pies at somebody’s face,” Reuther said. “We don’t have any idea what the relay is this year.”

Awards will be given for best time, most money raised and for people’s choice.

The Giant Pumpkin Contest is in its 19th year.

Children from Lindsey Helm’s second grade class at Coupeville Elementary School get creative with a Hubbard squash and other produce in making a witch that greets visitors at the school. The assignment falls in line with The Haunting of Coupeville theme. weather on Whidbey this year has been good to pumpkins too, according to Lee Roof, the event’s organizer.

Whidbey residents from Clinton to Oak Harbor will bring giant gourds.

The record is a 1,016-pounder grown by Coupeville’s Phil Renninger.

Renninger and Roof often vye for largest pumpkin honors.

A panel of judges also will award prizes for the ugliest and prettiest pumpkins as well as largest zucchini.

“We may have some really big ones this year as the weather was quite good,”

Roof said.

Peg Tennant, who manages both the Oak Harbor and Coupeville farmers markets, said gross sales for the Coupeville market look to be similar to last year, whereas Oak Harbor finished ahead of 2013.

Still, Tennant said atten-

dance in Oak Harbor dropped off in September once kids went back to school and produce sales could have been better.

“We are trying to figure out how to deal with the September dropoff,” Tennant said. “We’re in the process of evaluating and coming up with ideas.”

COMMISSIONER CONTINUED FROM A1 The District 3 seat was left vacant in May when then-commissioner Kelly Emerson suddenly gave a seven-day notice. Aubrey Vaughan, a candidate for commissioner in the primary election, was appointed to fill her seat through November.

Vaughan, a Republican, lost against Hannold in the primary.

Among the responsibilities of two members of the Island County board is to serve on the board for Island Transit, an organization currently wracked with financial turmoil that resulted in route cuts and the layoffs of 22 people.

Results of a state audit are expected to be released Oct. 24.

If elected and serving on the Transit Board, Jacks said she believes the existing board is working in a good direction and she would support their efforts.

“It’s in such a disarray right now it’s going to take a strong, strong leader to come in as director and be rebuilt from the ground up,” Hannold said.

“I think the oversight needs to be there, they need to be more involved.”

LAWSUIT CONTINUED FROM A1 in Island County Superior Court Sept. 26. It alleges that Gipson choked the patient while she was in four-point restraints.

The lawsuit seeks damages related to battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, corporate negligence, medical negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Skidmore did not return a call for comment.

Schwarz said the filing of the lawsuit before the criminal case is “really foolish” and will allow him to question the woman’s motives in the criminal trial.

“It makes her motives

quite clear,” he said. “She’s seeking to get money out of this.”

He said the allegations against Gipson are completely without merit.

Schwarz claims that investigators and officials with the Island County Sheriff’s Office and Island County Prosecutor’s Office are politically motivated in going after Gipson.

Schwarz said there’s ongoing tension between the hospital and the sheriff’s office about how to deal with mental-health patients. He said the hospital doesn’t have staff with expertise in psychiatric disorders, but it is being asked by law enforcement

H e claims GIPSON the criminal case against Gipson is “retaliation.”

Schwarz said the alleged victim has a long history of mental illness and “violent, hysterical acts at the hospital.”

On May 13, the day of the alleged assault, he said, the woman injured a nurse and was acting out.

He claims that Gipson walked into a scene of chaos and took charge by touching the restrained woman on the chin, redirecting her attention in an appropriate manner.

Schwarz said Gipson fired a nurse “from a temp agency” not because she complained about the alleged assault, but because she refused to take part in a debriefing following the incident.

He added that Gipson was hired to “shake things up” at the hospital and made some enemies in the process.

“People don’t like change,” he said.

Kelly Mauck, undersheriff with the Island County Sheriff’s Office, said Schwarz’s assertions about his office are “patently false.”

Mauck is charged with investigating complaints against deputies. He said the woman has filed only one complaint with the sheriff’s office. In fact, she just recently filed the written complaint about an incident that occurred more than a year ago; she claims a deputy mistreated her after she was arrested at the hospital for disorderly conduct.

Mauck said he is taking the complaint seriously and

Island County Treasurer Paid for by Citizens to Re-Elect Nuñez PO Box 244 · Coupeville, WA 98239

investigating.

Mauck said deputies and staff at the hospital have long had a good working relationship.

Sheriff Mark Brown also said Schwarz is off base.

Brown said the Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie, who’s employed by the sheriff’s office, simply did his job by responding to the numerous witness complaints, investigating those complaints and submitting the report to the prosecutor’s office.

“There was no political motivation,” he said. “That’s what we do.”

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said he hadn’t seen the lawsuit.

Filing of the lawsuit shouldn’t make a difference in the criminal case, he said, but added the defense might “try to make something out of it” if the alleged victim takes the stand.

Banks pointed out that the nurses — “independent eye witnesses” — reported the alleged crime to the police before the victim did.

“That’s unusual in these kinds of cases,” he said.

Banks said that Schwarz’s comments about investigators’ motives are “offensive.”

“We will rely on the facts to make the case,” he said.

Hannold said.

Hannold said the combination of over water, mountain and desert training available in the Pacific Northwest provides essential experience for pilots.

“The whole area is unique … we offer that strategic opportunity,” Hannold said. “(The base) sits strategically on the Asian Pacific rim and for the country as a whole it’s a good base to have.”

Jacks said she supports the Navy and its need to properly train its pilots, but isn’t taking a strong stance on OLF Coupeville.

“I support our Navy, I support our military, I support the naval air station and whatever they need to do to train their pilots,” Jack said.

Jacks said she is “more than happy to listen to people’s concerns, but we have to be able to work together.”

“I know that’s not what they want to hear,” Jacks said.

“They all want me to come down on this side or that side but I think that’s a disservice.”

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

Food & Farmer’s Market

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

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

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

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