Chamber wins big in bid for tourism funds
Mayor seeks do-over for ’15 Whidbey Marathon By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley asked a volunteer board to meet again and reconsider its decision to not award lodging tax dollars to the 2015 Whidbey Island Marathon. At the same time, the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce was the big winner in this year’s recommendations. The city’s Lodging
Tax Advisory Committee recommended $100,000 for operations and another $67,500 for marketing. Last year, the council awarded the chamber $80,000 in lodging tax funds for operations and $1,000 for marketing. Chamber Executive Director Christine Cribb said the committee’s decision was unanimous and unprecedented, showing SEE FUNDING, A13

A man who attacked and choked a woman after she gave him a ride to Whidbey Island is likely headed to prison. Larry Byars, 22, pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court last Friday to two counts of residential burglary, according to Deputy
Prosecutor David Carman. Byars is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 24. Carman is recommending a top-of-therange sentence of two years and five months imprisonment. Byars’ mailing address is listed in Baton Rouge, La. He has a “significant criminal history” in several states, including a sexual assault in
Texas, according to the prosecuting attorney. A 27-year-old Whidbey Island woman agreed to give Byars, an acquaintance, a ride from her workplace in Everett to the Oak Harbor area on Sept. 21, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. SEE CONVICTED, A13

Two Oak Harbor city employees injured in crash By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Two employees with Oak Harbor Public Works were injured in a car accident Monday. Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said the public works employees were traveling north on Midway Boulevard in a city-owned
Ford F-350 truck when they were struck by a Nissan Altima. Witnesses said the Nissan went through the intersection at Midway and Southeast Sixth without stopping at the stop sign and struck the truck, according to Green. The two passengers of the public works complained of neck and back pain; they were transported to the hospital for treatment, Green said. The injuries didn’t appear to be serious, he added. The man driving the Nissan and his two passengers were not injured. The driver was cited. Both the truck and car were totaled in the accident, the police chief said.

At North Whidbey Middle School, teachers are holding a contest to see which educational department can collect the most donations from their students. Award for the winners, Southwick said, is pride. “My take is it’s helping the community and teaching kids that it’s not just a community that you live in … we’re all here to help each other and move everybody forward.” Anyone from the community is welcome and invited to participate. Falcon said anyone is welcome take food they want to donate to their local elementary or middle school and deliver it to the front office. “Anyone can donate,” Southwick said. “They can donate in the front office if they would like to; we’d love all participation from everyone in the community.” “The reason why (we do this) is to teach kids about service,” Falcon said, “but also to teach them that there’s something bigger than they are.”

It started over at North Whidbey Middle School and the elementary schools over there. “(I said,) ‘We have to find something different, encourage and bring more items to help our community out,’ ” Falcon said. Falcon said previous food drives held at the schools weren’t very popular and that he wanted to create a drive that would motivate students and staff to bring in food. “It wasn’t as a driving force as what this is,” Falcon said. “Goal oriented is kind of the way we go with it. “Packing two buses with food is a great goal for kids to take on.” The food drive kicked off on Nov. 3. Students are accepting nonperishable food donations until Nov. 25. On that date, two buses, currently parked outside of the middle schools, will be driven around the district to collect food items before they are delivered to the Help House. “We do it just as community support for the upcoming holidays,” said North Whidbey Middle School teacher Phillip Southwick. “And we know that this is

Those killed in action were honored in the Veterans Day Parade Saturday.
Parade honors veterans
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Men shaking hands. Old and young. “Thank you for your service,” and a nod. The scene was played over and over again on Pioneer Way Saturday as the Oak Harbor community celebrated Veterans Day with a parade that was equal parts solemn and joyous. Terry Lacey, founder of the parade, said 40 different groups participated in the parade, with more than 100 active-duty members of the military and plenty of senior military members. That included Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The parade drew politicians galore. U.S. Rep. Rick
Larsen walked and waved, as did a steady stream of state lawmakers and local officials. There was plenty of noise from a long line of veterans motorcycle groups, bands, honking cars and screaming kids. But even those lively kids fell silent as the group of military people holding the banners of the fallen marched past. Lacey said he was a little surprised that more people didn’t come out to watch the parade, which was in its third year. He hypothesized that the cold weather might have been a factor. Lacey said the reception at the American Legion afterward was a huge hit. Even so, there was more food than they could eat, so it was
donated to firefighters afterward. He said he’s already planning next year’s parade. He hopes to get another band and additional vintage military vehicles. “We’re still growing,” he said. Oak Harbor resident Arthur Morris, a Vietnam veteran, was standing on the sidewalk after the parade was over when a group of uniformed sailors strolled by. One of the young men took Morris by the hand and thanked him. Such graciousness, Morris
said, was a welcome change from when he returned from Vietnam. He served three tours during the war, including one aboard the USS Racine — a unique member of the amphibious fleet. Morris said there were times during Vietnam when he wasn’t comfortable wearing his uniform in public. Thankfully, those days have changed; he hasn’t missed a Veterans Day Parade yet. “There’s a lot more appreciation for people serving nowadays,” he said.
Navy officials and politicians handed out candy along the parade route.

Truck-to-store conversion sees jumbo success Success of Jumbo Burrito restaurant even exceeds owners’ expectations By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
F
or as far back as he can remember, Eli Loera envisioned something like this. He looks around the restaurant he owns and smiles at the customer activity and familiar faces of family all around him. Five years ago, he started assembling pieces to build the dream that he pictured long before that. Every obstacle he encountered, he stayed focused. “I always had a vision,” he said. Loera, his wife Patricia and 19-year-old daughter Brenda share ownership of Jumbo Burrito in Oak Harbor. The Mexican-style eatery converted from a truck to a sit-down restaurant four months ago and experienced immediate success that exceeded the whole family’s wildest expectations with lines that stretched out the front door. “People had to wait outside and sit on benches for like two months straight,” Brenda said. Now that the restaurant has settled in, and the initial hype has subsided, business remains strong, particularly for the lunch crowd.
Brenda Loera chose a Mexican-styled logo for the restaurant since it took an American name. Eli Loera said he believes his restaurant has filled a community niche of healthy, authentic Mexican-style food with fresh ingredients served more quickly than a traditional restaurant and at a cheaper price. Servers create burritos, tacos and other dishes across the counter from customers who stand in singleline fashion. The burritos live up to their name in size and range in price from $7.50 to $9.50. “I wanted it to be different,” Loera said. “I wanted it to be like a Mexican Subway. “We don’t use anything that is from yesterday.” Five years ago, none of this seemed possible. Loera was running his own business repairing vinyl

some property and sent him some money to allow him to get back on his feet. “If it wouldn’t have been for my mother ...” Loera said. As he tended to his health, he started dreaming again about a unique freshfood eatery and took the first step by purchasing a taco truck. Initially planning to set up the truck selling seafood in Mount Vernon, Loera was convinced by his daughter to go with Mexican-style food and they agreed that Oak Harbor was the ideal place because it lacked that
mobile sort of “taco truck” eatery. But Loera suffered another setback a few days before the truck was supposed to start serving food when he was electrocuted by the deep fryer and suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery. When the truck opened, it was an instant hit with customers and would later move to other parts of town and ultimately transition to a brick-and-mortar site at its present location on State Highway 20. Loera said his health has
improved with medication and from prayers from so many friends, family and customers. Yet even when he feels aches, he doesn’t want to complain. He is surrounded by family with his wife, five children (Clarissa, Brenda, Eli, Guadalupe and Roselia) and two sons-in-law (Diego Torres and Enrique Manzo) all working with him. He cooks along with his son-in-law Enrique. “God did a miracle on me,” Loera said. “I am blessed.”

SOUND OFF
Committed to providing resources for veterans By U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen
Over the past week, I met with dozens of veterans at roundtables and other events across Northwest Washington. I am grateful to all the veterans who took time to meet with me during these recent roundtables. Their ideas will help me do a better job working on their behalf in Congress. Veterans Day is an important opportunity to pause and recognize the sacrifices of the millions of women and men who have served our country in uniform. I am committed to ensuring these veterans can access the resources they need every day of the year. The feedback I heard from veterans touched on concerns and ideas about access to health care, education, housing and job resources. This information is critically important to helping shape the work I do in Congress for veterans. Some veterans shared with me the long timeline for getting an initial disability rating. Others had questions about getting care outside the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system because of travel challenges. These and other concerns about health care will be on my agenda in the coming weeks and months, especially as the VA carries out reforms to cut down on wait times for medical appointments. With education, some veterans had questions about using their benefits. I understand that navigating these benefits can be a challenge, which is why I introduced a bill to allow colleges to access veterans’ VA educational benefits to make it easier for colleges to provide educational counseling to veterans who are paying for college with their GI Bill benefits. I will keep working to move this bill and other ideas forward that will ensure veterans can get into the classroom easily and efficiently. Connecting veterans with jobs is another priority, and I will continue to make sure veterans receive the hiring preferences they have earned. I was upset when the Department of Energy reported that the Bonneville Power Administration had been violating veterans’ preference in their hiring. The BPA Administrator was recently replaced, and I am working with my colleagues to scrutinize the BPA to ensure that veterans are treated fairly. So far, this review has resulted in 69 veterans being hired. Too many veterans struggle with homelessness. That is why I am a strong supporter of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program, which provides funding to local housing authorities to help find housing for homeless veterans. This program wisely addresses multiple areas of need, matching housing with dedicated caseworkers. In 2012, the Housing Authorities in Skagit and Snohomish counties received grants to provide housing vouchers for 100 homeless vets. I have always tried to be an advocate for local veterans in Congress. It will be an honor to represent them in the 114th Congress, and I will continue to work to ensure we honor the promises we make to our women and men in uniform.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Oversight
Revise structure of Island Transit
Editor, There are several ways of looking at why Island Transit is in disarray. One is to focus on people. The other is to focus on organizational structure. When one takes the perspective of focusing on people, such issues as their competence or honesty become most important. It follows from this thinking that if the executive director or the board is replaced with “competent” and honest people, then the problem will be solved. We are not saying there isn’t merit in this approach sometimes, or even in here, but we think it is also useful to consider an alternative that the structure of the agency did not hold people accountable, and that was inviting mismanagement. One major reason for having supervisors is that people are more inclined to do their jobs if they have good supervision. Human nature can make it so that we take the easiest way out at times. The board structure for Island
Transit is atypical in our experience and is not one that structurally demands good oversight. It appears it is composed solely of elected officials. A well-rounded board for a public agency would have people with expertise in finance, delivery of the service — in this case, transportation — business, law, law enforcement, etc. Additionally, a board should have some people who are regular consumers of the service. Functional boards have one or two people who can be pains in the neck. They ask hard questions and are not satisfied with glib answers. A board needs to be large enough that there is a good probability that some people like this will be included. A board should have committees. For example, most boards should have a finance committee drawn from those on the board who have expertise in accounting, finance, investing, etc. Those committees should meet regularly to review and monitor matters pertaining to their areas of expertise and should regularly report to the full board. Our proposal is to revise the constitution of Island Transit to provide for a structure that would prevent this kind
of thing from happening again.

ER team helped to save patient’s life
Editor, Don’t ever hesitate when it comes to using our local Whidbey Hospital emergency room. I’ve gone twice and each time I was treated fast, with respect and by caring staff. They can diagnose and stabilize you and send you on your way to a hospital better suited to treat your condition. As my situation grew worse, they were able to talk me through what was needed for my flight to Harborview Medical Center; all very scary, but these were my only options. Thanks to the Whidbey emergency room doctor and his team for saving my life, and the Harborview emergency room team for getting me back. All this for a simple procedure that went very wrong quickly. I hope never to see them again, but I know they are there for us when needed. Gail Lischeid Clinton

BMW takes center stage in Munich GUEST COLUMN
By DON C. BRUNELL There is a new look to Bavarian tourism these days. In the past, tourists flocked to Munich’s city square like Seattle’s New Year’s revelers at the Space Needle. They came to see the ancient Glockenspiel, a giant cuckoo clock on the city hall tower, and then dash to the nearby famed Hofbrauhaus for beer, brats and Bavarian music. Now the Glockenspiel has some real competition. It is BMW World, a mammoth, ultramodern, high tech new car showroom adjacent to the 1972 Olympic Stadium. It is so large that prospective buyers can take a “Beamer” for a test spin without leaving the building. And Washington state is playing a key role in BMW’s success. Opened in 2007, the BMW World showroom saw nearly three million visitors last year alone, and people from all over come to take their new BMW home. But the story behind BMW World is not about tourism; it is about showcasing the company’s technology. BMWs are pricey, ranging from $30,000 to $105,000. Known for cutting edge technology, one of its new innovations is using carbon fiber to replace the metal on the outer layers of its cars. Why carbon fiber? It helps car manufacturers reduce the weight to meet tougher auto emission and mileage standards. Using carbon fiber is especially important as car makers attempt to extend the range of electric autos and for hybrids needing to add more miles per gallon. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory determined that trimming a car’s weight by 10 percent improves mileage by 7 percent. That means when carbon fiber becomes affordable, its use will spread through three diverse auto categories: sports cars perpetually hungry for weight savings, hybrids and electric vehicles burdened with heavy batteries. Mass-produced models will need this technology to meet the 54.5-mpg U.S. mileage standard
by 2025. Carbon fiber has been around for a long time. It is used in race cars, but it is very expensive. Even though the virtues of carbon fiber are well known, at more than $10 per pound — when combined with epoxy resin — it’s still too expensive for cars we drive every day. A primary reason for the high cost is manufacturing carbon fiber requires vast amounts of electricity. Low-cost electricity is a problem for German manufacturers which, on average, pay 32 cents per kilowatt hour in their homeland. That’s why BMW looked to Moses Lake, where Grant PUD supplies large loads of some of the world’s lowest cost electricity at 2.8 cents per kilowatt hour from its two dams on the Columbia River. SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, a joint venture of BMW and the SGL Group, is increasing its production in Washington and is investing an additional $200 million in a new plant in Moses Lake to produce 9,000 metric tons per year. Contrast that with Toray Composites America in Frederickson, a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Toray Industries. Toray is the primary carbon fiber supplier to Boeing’s Dreamliner 787 and is the largest global producer of carbon fiber with a capacity of about 33,000 tons per year. The good news is, with Boeing and BMW moving to light-weight carbon fiber, Washington, with its low-cost hydropower, may become the carbon fiber capitol of the world. So while Moses Lake’s carbon fiber plant may not attract tourists like BMW World in Munich, it is vital to our state’s economy and the creation of family-wage jobs. For Washington, it is crucial that our elected officials ensure that we can continue to provide households, business and manufacturers with an abundant supply of low-cost electricity. That will keep customers from around the globe — and the jobs they create — coming to Washington state. n Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

Principal visits Navy carrier MARK It’s a rare opportunity few civilians ever get to experience — a trap and catapult aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Oak Harbor High School Principal Dwight Lundstrom was one of a lucky few when he boarded a C-2 Greyhound out of Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, Oct. 20, 2014, for an overnight stay aboard. Lundstrom joined several other people across the country who were able take part in the Navy’s Carrier Embark program off the Southern California coast. The Carrier Embark Program invites people in civic, professional and social organizations who have an impact on the Navy’s future in recruitment and in government decision-making. “I have always had great pride in naval aviation since my father was a P-3 aviator,” Lundstrom said. “However, seeing planes land on the carrier added a whole new level of respect for the pilots and the men and women that support the flight operations.” More than 40 percent of Lundstrom’s high school students are affiliated with the Navy, with parents or guardians serving on active duty or working as civilians on the base. Oak Harbor High School also has one of the largest Navy Junior Reserve
Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) in the Pacific Northwest. It is also one of the top ranked NJROTC units in the country. After experiencing operations up close on the flight deck, Lundstrom was struck by the precision of activities. “It is a well-choreographed dance that is performed by very young and professional people. I was so impressed with the conversations with sailors on the ship and how each of them said, ‘I have the best job,’” Lundstrom said. The trip also strengthened Lundstrom’s resolve to help families to deal with the struggles they experience when one of the family members is deployed. “I think it certainly helps me to continue to be aware and empathetic to family issues with the amount of time our Navy personnel are required to be away from their families and the challenges they face for communicating with home,” he said. “The overall experience was outstanding,” Lundstrom said. “I am very proud to work in a school that serves Navy families and to serve their children.”

Feb. 18, 1953 Oct. 12, 2014 Pam was born to Monte and Millie Eisele in Corvallis, Ore. She passed away peacefully Oct. 12, 2014, in Spokane, Wash., after cancer robbed her of her essence. Pam grew up in various towns due to the fact that her father was in the military. In 1969 she moved with her family to Wilbur, Wash., where she attended and graduated in 1971 from Wilbur High School. In 1978 she moved to Langley, Wash., on beautiful Whidbey Island, where she started her family. She lived all over the island in her many years there and made a good amount of friends along the way. Pam was blessed with two beautiful daughters, both who were born on the island — Casi in 1979 and Samantha in 1983. Pam married the love of her life, Louie Alvarez, in 1982, only to lose him in a tragic accident in 1983. From that time on, she raised her daughters singlehandedly. In 2005 Pam moved to Harrington, Wash. In 2010 she moved back to Wilbur, where she resided until her passing. She is preceded in death by her father, Monte; lov-
ing husband, Louie; and precious granddaughter, Genessa. She is survived by her mother, Millie Eisele, of Port Angeles, Wash.; her two daughters, Casi, of Colorado, and Samantha Rossi, of Oak Harbor; and her most precious grandchildren, Rane, John, Makala and Natalia. A celebration of her life is being planned for her birthday. Please make any donations to Hospice House, 367 E. Seventh Ave., Spokane, WA, or Waif Animal Shelter

Wildcats reel in state football playoff berth By JIM WALLER Sport editor
The Oak Harbor High School football team will return to the state playoffs for the first time since 2007 after defeating visiting Kennedy Catholic 34-14 Friday, Nov. 7, in a quad-district game. The Wildcats head to Peninsula High School at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, to meet the Seahawks in the round of 16. Sophomore Princeton Lollar gutted Lancer defense for 214 yards and three touchdowns to lead Oak Harbor into the big win over Kennedy Catholic. Lollar, who carried the ball 30 times, pounded the heart of the Lancer defense while running mate Dejon Devroe attacked the outside for 137 yards on 15 carries. In all, Oak Harbor piled up 426 yards of total offense while limiting Kennedy Catholic to 215. Jr. Ngauamo led the Lancers with 106 yards on 18 carries. Seventh-ranked and undefeated Kennedy Catholic, the Seamount League champions, entered the game averaging 45 points a game while giving up only 5. After the teams traded punts, Devroe set up Oak Harbor’s first score with a 39-yard run. Lollar finished the drive with a 4-yard rush. Kennedy Catholic went 65 yards in six plays to even the game; then after recovering a Wildcat fumble at the Oak Harbor 34-yard line, took the lead with a touchdown on the first play of the second quarter.
Oak Harbor then blunted the Kennedy running attack and ran off 27 unanswered points. First Lollar scored from the 5, then after a Lancer punt, quarterback Clay Doughty connected with Dyllan Harris for a 19-yard score, giving the Wildcats a 21-14 lead at the break. Doughty finished the game 5-for-11 for 52 yards. Early in the fourth quarter, Devroe scored from 4 yards out. Kennedy threatened to get back into the game but fumbled inside the Oak Harbor 20 with six minutes left. The Wildcats put the game away with a 10-play, 85-yard march capped by Lollar’s third score, this one from the 7. The Lancers (8-1) committed four turnovers in their final five possessions, two coming on Harris interceptions. The Wildcats also shut down the Lancer rushing attack that moved the ball in chunks early in the game. Oak Harbor went to its “contingency plan,” coach Jay Turner said, switching to a three-man front with the nose tackle playing on his feet. He said the three-man front was also a result of the Wildcats losing three lineman to injuries early in the game. The Wildcat offense was a heavy dose of the 225-pound Lollar, who Turner labeled a “work horse.” Lollar called the win a team effort, adding “we work hard every week; do whatever it takes to get the ‘W.’”
One of those stumbles was 36-12 to Peninsula in 2012.

Oak Harbor (7-1) has stumbled in the quad-district games in recent years.
Turner said, “It is nice to get the money off our back. It’s nice for these kids.”
Sixth-ranked Peninsula, the South Puget Sound League 3A champion, is led by quarterback Robert Kvinsland and a corps of talented receivers. Through the first nine games this season, Kvinsland completed 70 percent of his passes for 2,140 yards and 23 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Kyle Olson-Urbon caught 50 passes for 693 yards, while Matt Shirley snared 31 for 549; each has scored six times. The two top receivers are also dangerous return men. Shirley averages 22 yards per kickoff return and 30 yards per punt return. OlsonUrbon has a 23-yard punt return average. Major Ali leads the rushing attack with 672 yards on 128 carries. The 9-1 Seahawks’ only loss this year came in the season-opener to cross-town rival Gig Harbor 30-29. Gig Harbor went on to win the 4A Narrows League title and is ranked sixth in the state poll. In each of the past two seasons, the Seahawks reached the state quarterfinals, winning in the round of 16 then losing to powerhouse Bellevue. Bellevue could be the next opponent again this year. The winner of the Oak Harbor-Peninsula game will play the winner of BellevueSumner next weekend.

John Rodeheffer finishes fourth.
Seniors John Rodeheffer and Jonalynn Horn made Oak Harbor High School cross country history with their performances at the state 3A meet at the Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco Saturday, Nov. 8. Rodeheffer finished fourth, tying for the best finish ever by a Wildcat boy in the state meet; Gary Lineburg also placed fourth in 1965. Horn ran 12th and, coupled with her eighth-place finish last year, is the only Oak Harbor girl to record two top-12 finishes at state. Sophomore Laura Rodeheffer, John’s sister, also took part, placing
131st out of 144 in 21:59.39. John Rodeheffer, who placed 11th last year, ran a 15:15.39 over the 5,000-meter course in what turned out to be the day’s fastest race. Tanner Anderson of North Central won the 3A boys race out of a field of 143 in 14:31.7. Rodeheffer’s time would have won the B, 1A and 2A races and was just .19 of a second off the winning 4A time. Horn posted an 18:57.32. Lakeside’s Andrea Masterson was the girls 3A individual champion in 17:40.9.
“Overall, we are really happy with how the kids ran in Pasco,” Oak Harbor head coach Eric Peterson said. “John dropped another 15 seconds off his time and ran a great PR. “Jonalynn had some goals on the day, and she was able to achieve them.” John Rodeheffer and Horn also earned invitations to compete in BorderClash 2014, a meet pitting the best high school runners from Washington against those from Oregon, Sunday, Nov. 18, in Beaverton, Ore.

SPORTS IN BRIEF 7 Wildcats earn state swim berths
in the District 1 tournament at Marysville-Pilchuck High School Saturday, Nov. 8, and was denied a return trip to the state tournament. With the 25-22, 26-24, 25-22 win, Ferndale placed third at district, picked up the final berth into the state tournament and eliminated the Wildcats. All three of Oak Harbor’s loses in the past two district tournaments have been to Ferndale, two coming this fall. In all, the Golden Eagles have beaten the Wildcats five straight. The match’s turning point came in the second set. Oak Harbor rallied from a six-point deficit (11-5) with the help of eight Claire Anderson kills to build a 24-18 lead. Ferndale then stunned the Wildcats by reeling off eight straight points to claim the 26-24 win. The Wildcats trailed by seven (17-10) midway through the third game, then they scratched their way into a 21-21 tie only to see the Golden Eagles recover for the win. Anderson produced 22 kills, 13 digs and five aces. Priya Osborne had 24 digs, Hailey Beecher 18 assists and Julie Jansen three blocks. Oak Harbor (11-7) finished the year tied for second in Wesco and fourth in district.
Seven Oak Harbor High School swimmers qualified for state and helped the Wildcats place second in the district meet at the Snohomish Aquatic Center Saturday, Nov. 8. The top three finishers in each event at district qualified for state. The state meet is Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15, at the Weyerhaeuser King Country Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Qualifying in individual events were Marissa Morris (first, 200-yard freestyle, 2:03.67; third, 500 free, 5:28.12), Mollie Briddell (second, 100 free, 56.85; second, 100 backstroke, 1:03.93), Molly Vagt (second, 500 free, 5:23.1) and Taliah Black (third, 100 breaststroke, 1:12.77). All three relay teams qualified, led by the district champion 200 free team (Morris, Black, Jillian Pape, Lauren Vagt, 1:46.99). The 200 medley relay (Briddell, Black, Lauren Vagt, Molly Vagt, 1:56.72) and the 400 free relay (Morris, Briddell, Erica Sugatan, Molly Vagt, 3:51.97) finished second. “Districts was definitely a team effort,” first-year coach Erin Bull said. “I am especially proud of the girls’ effort on qualifying in all three relays.” Shorewood won the title in the 12-team meet with 462 points; Oak Harbor tallied 406, 65 points ahead of third-place EdmondsWoodway.
OHYFL peewees lose in title game Stanwood scored midway through the fourth period to come from behind and defeat the Oak Harbor Youth Football League peewee team for the North Cascade League championship Saturday, Nov. 8, at Mount Vernon High School.

Stanwood scored early to take a 6-0 lead, then Oak Harbor, coached by Mark Cribb, countered with a touchdown by William Ward. Ward then caught the PAT pass from Tyler Abbott to give Oak Harbor an 8-6 lead. Just before halftime, Stanwood ripped off an 82-yard quarterback sneak to regain the lead, 12-8. In the third quarter, Brody Snyder ran 27 yards for a TD, and Oak Harbor led again, 14-12. Late in the period, Oak Harbor held after Stanwood

Wolves win final football game It was a going away party for coach Tony Maggio, and Josh Bayne and his Coupeville High School football teammates made sure it was an eventful bash. Coupeville wrapped up the season with a 55-38 win
over visiting Bellevue Christian Friday, Nov. 7. Maggio announced earlier in the week he was stepping down as the Wolves coach after three years at the helm to devote more time to his family and job. It was also the final game for Bayne, a senior running back, and he lit up the stat sheet with 311 yards rushing on 19 carries. He also caught two passes for 40 yards (both went for touchdowns), had 22 return yards and scored six times. Defensively, he recorded

seven tackles, grabbed an interception and recovered a fumble. His numbers could have been more impressive, but he sat half the third quarter after tweaking his ankle. Coupeville dominated early, going up 14-3 in the first quarter. “I thought the game was going to get away from them (Bellevue Christian),” Maggio said, “but they got back into it.” The Wolves made some mistakes, including four poor center-quarterback exchanges that wiped out downs, a failed fake punt and a penalty that erased a touchdown. The Vikings took advantage, cutting the lead to 27-24 heading into the final quarter. The Wolves offense then revved back up and outscored BC 28-14 in the fourth period. Bayne, who sat some of the third quarter with the ankle issue, returned in the fourth and immediately took off on a 64-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Joel Walstad linked up with Ryan Griggs for two long scoring tosses, and Coupeville pulled away. Walstad, a senior, finished 7-for-12 for 182 yards and four touchdowns. Griggs caught three passes for 102 yards and two scores. Wiley Hesselgrave ran for 64 yards on six carries, and Jacob Martin added 38 yards on eight carries. Hesselgrave topped the Wolves with nine tackles and a fumble recovery. Oscar Liquidano and Dominic Dausey added seven tackles each. Dausey and Gabe Wynn registered sacks, and Martin had an interception. Coupeville finished the year with a 5-5 record, improving each year under Maggio. The Wolves won four games last fall and two in 2012.

Establishing island as a wedding destination By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record
A wedding planner, photographer, florist and a host of other industry vendors and support businesses will have some extra work this winter thanks to the second annual Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour this past weekend. The tour, which commanded a registration list of about 200, was held Saturday at four locations around South Whidbey: Fireseed Catering and Events Garden in Langley, Dancing Fish Farms in Freeland, Freeland Hall and the Roaming Radish Catering and Event Facility at Holmes Harbor Golf Course. “I thought it was fantastic,” said Gloria Mickunas, tour organizer and owner of Whidbey Party Girls! “People seemed to enjoy themselves; they were booking vendors; what’s not to love?” But best of all, the tour did what it was designed to do — shine a spotlight on the island’s growing wedding industry and make clear that events on Whidbey aren’t limited to summer. “The main goal of the tour is to brand Whidbey for winter events,” said Mickunas, adding that at least two cold-season weddings were booked. “There’s going to be about a dozen local vendors with January work, and that’s huge.” Saturday’s tour began with a drawing for Win a Whidbey Wedding, a contest in which couples from Western Washington and out of state vied for an island wedding worth $16,000 this January. Forty-three couples com-
peted by submitting a short explanation why they should win, with the public voting to narrow down the running to 10 finalists — five were from Whidbey Island. The lucky couple was then selected by a drawing, with Jacqueline Rutherford and Nicholas Serrano of Lake Stevens taking the prize. “It was a shock,” said Rutherford, who admitted she was overwhelmed and shed a tear or two when they were selected. As winners, their wedding will, of course be held on Whidbey, at Dancing Fish Farms, which is just fine with the couple. Serrano said the island has an “earthy” and “local” feel that will make their special day all the more memorable. “It’s really comfortable here,” he said. For those who didn’t win, they spent hours perusing the four event locations, each of which was packed with various industry vendors. For Madisun Clark and David Stern of Greenbank, who were recently engaged and work as event producers, it was a great opportunity to shop around and get a few ideas for their special day, beginning with where to tie the knot. “We’re trying to find the right spot,” Stern said. Some of those in attendance were already married, such as David and Adrienne Dumais of Oak Harbor, but were planning to renew their vows. The couple said they were impressed by many vendors, but none so much as with PlumaPaper, which specializes in wedding invitations and printing. “She does beautiful station-

This is the event’s second year running, with the first highlighting Central Whidbey and this year focused on the South End. “I’m amazed how many are coming from off-island,” said the Rev. Dave Bieniek, who is based in Coupeville but officiates ceremonies across Whidbey. “It’s (the island) becoming a destination. “Today would have been
a great day for a wedding,” he added, noting Saturday’s sunny skies. Ali Vail, of Vail Studio in Oak Harbor, agreed. Vail and her husband, Erik, do more shoots offisland than on, and the tour is important because it highlights Whidbey’s wedding professionals and the great weather. This is great place to get married, anytime of year, and the tour is getting that message out, she said. “It’s really good for the island to get this kind of exposure,” Vail said.

FUNDING CONTINUED FROM A1
how much faith the committee members have in the chamber. In fact, the committee recommended even more dollars for marketing than the chamber requested. Cribb pointed out that Oak Harbor is the largest city with the largest chamber on the island, which likely carried weight with the committee. “We had a plan and a very well-presented application,” Cribb said. “I was extremely humbled and grateful by the end of that meeting.” The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met for more than six hours last week to review applications for 2015 lodging tax funds — also known as 2 percent dollars — which are earmarked for tourism-related activities. The committee, whose members are appointed by the mayor, took on new significance this year as the result of a change in state law. City Council members can no longer simply change the grant amounts recommended by the committee; the elected officials must follow the committee’s recommended amounts, choose not to fund an applicant at all or ask the committee to reconsider. The group recommended $277,600 in grant funds to 13 applicants. The lodging tax brings in about $180,000 a year, according to Finance Director Doug Merriman. There’s currently more than

$600,000 in the fund, some of which was earmarked years ago for a downtown clock tower. The allocation of lodging tax dollars to the chamber resulted in some wrangling last year after Dudley argued that the lodging tax money the chamber received could be better used elsewhere, in particular for more community events; however, Dudley has said he’s supportive of the chamber under Cribb, the new director. More recently, the city-owned marathon also became embroiled in controversy when Dudley decided to replace longtime marathon organizer Tamra Sipes, to the disappointment of council members. Dudley selected the Elks Club to run the marathon this coming year; club member Melissa Riker is serving as race director. Riker submitted a request for $50,000 in lodging tax funds for operation and marketing of the city-owned event. The request was a substantial increase from last year’s allocation of $5,000. Members of the committee denied the request, however, because Riker’s budget showed a large profit, her application was incomplete and she couldn’t answer questions about how the tax dollars would be spent, according to City Councilman Jim Campbell. Campbell serves as chairman of the Tax Advisory Committee. “She couldn’t answer a lot of questions, which is understandable,” he said. “This is her first time.” The decision to decline marathon fund-
ing didn’t sit well with Dudley, who pointed out that the intended purpose of lodging tax money is to promote tourism and fill hotel rooms. “If there’s any event that does a great job of putting heads in beds,” he said, “it’s the Whidbey Island Marathon.” Dudley said he asked Campbell to reconvene the advisory committee so that the questions asked of Riker can be answered more effectively. Campbell agreed. The meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 12 in council chambers.
It may be a tough sell. Michelle Curry, a member of the committee, said the decision to deny the allocation to the marathon was unanimous. She said it doesn’t seem fair to give the group another shot. “I stake my reputation on fairness,” she said. “If they’re going to open it up for the marathon, they should open it up for everyone.” The committee recommended that Curry receive $20,000 for her marketing the Oak Harbor hydroplane races. Even with the resistance, Dudley said he’s optimistic that the committee will reverse its decision and decide to fund the marathon.
was the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, which received the $23,000 for 2014, but did not apply for the 2015 cycle, according to the county. Clinton Chamber of Commerce board Chairman Bob Craven said the organization is currently struggling with participation and couldn’t apply without a 2015 plan in place. Other large allotments for 2015 included $12,000 to the Oak Harbor Music Festival,
$10,000 to Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve, $8,800 to the Island County Historical Society, $8,000 for the Four Springs Lake Preserve and $7,000 to the Whidbey Island Marathon. The PBY Memorial Foundation received $6,250, and $5,000 or less went to other events put on by organizations like the Coupeville Arts Center, South Whidbey Good Cheer and the Camano Arts Association.
The county’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, not to be confused with the City of Oak Harbor’s own committee, consists of seven members. “The decisions focused on organizations with a track record of success who the committee felt would deliver the best results from the funds granted,” said current committee chairwoman Commissioner Jill Johnson.
Volunteers sought for Whidbey Island Marathon Organizers of the 2015 Whidbey Island Marathon are seeking volunteers to help organize, garner community support, coordinate logistics, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the event. This year’s marathon is April 19. Race Director Melissa Riker is seeking “walkers, runners, medical personnel, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference.” Riker is running the marathon, which is owned by the city, for Oak Harbor Elks Lodge.

Harvest needs donations, volunteers By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Organizers with North Whidbey Community Harvest are seeking donations and volunteers as they prepare for the Thanksgiving event, Nov. 27, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. The event, in its 13th year, is a community feast prepared by Scott Fraser and his staff from Frasers Gourmet Hideaway offered free to the public, though donations are accepted. The event’s coordinators consist of business owners and community members who are carrying on an idea started by the late Keith Bartlett. Following in the spirit of Bartlett’s idea, the dinner is served on linen tablecloths using formal dishes, glassware and utensils — nothing plastic. The group got off to a late start this year and reorganized with Skip Pohtilla stepping into the president role. Nor th Whidbey Community Harvest features a full-course Thanksgiving dinner served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with deliveries offered for those unable to attend. The event draws a few thousand people who come for the food and company or simply to help. The event’s coordinators are aiming to raise $18,000 this year to cover costs. Volunteers are needed to help with serving, deliveries, washing dishes and other duties. Inquiries should be made by calling 360-279-1722. That also is the number to call to schedule a delivery for Thanksgiving. The most pressing need is donations, Pohtilla said. Donations may be mailed to: North Whidbey Community Harvest, care of Skip Pohtilla, 1090 SE Hathaway St., Oak Harbor, WA, 98277. Donations also may be dropped off at two Oak Harbor businesses: Frasers Gourmet Hideway at 191 SE Fidalgo Ave. or Whidbey Residential Rentals at 285 NE Midway Blvd.

Joan Klope, writer of the “Faithful Living” column in the Whidbey News-Times since 1994, is stepping away from the column but is planning to start a blog.
Columnist turns page on career After 20 years of writing newspaper column on faith, Joan Klope stopping to focus on new pursuits in life By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Joan Klope jokes these days that her home resembles more of a construction zone than a house. A long anticipated addition to her house is coming to fruition, complete with windows and skylights that not only shed new light on the home but also to the possibilities for the spacious family room once her children begin starting families of their own. It is in the den of this Oak Harbor home where Klope has sipped coffee and opened up her own life, sharing with Whidbey Island readers a newspaper column that has incorporated life experiences and her faith. Her recent decision to step away from the column after 20 years in the pages of the Whidbey News-Times leaves her feeling excited to tackle new opportunities, including a blog, but also
a little lost, as if a longtime friend had passed. After all, she’s been writing “Faithful Living” since 1994. “Life adjustments are very difficult to make,” Klope said. “I’ve been challenging myself with that. “I feel like I need to see this as an opportunity to do something a little bit different.” Klope called her experiences with the column a “20-year endeavor that has added infinitely to my own joy and also my love for Whidbey and island residents.” She remembers an editor inquiring if she would be interested in resuming a faith-based, weekly column that a local pastor had stopped writing two decades ago. “I submitted three columns and they ran them all,” she said. “I’ve been writing ever since. It really dropped in my lap. It was a great gift.
It caused me to actively process the events in my life so I have a story to tell.” She said she had two primary goals for the column. “One, it wouldn’t be a sermon,” Klope said. “And two, I wouldn’t use a lot of religious talk. I wanted to use a lot of resources and a lot of experiences and tell a story of how a person of faith lives on Whidbey and what that was like. I didn’t tell people how to think. I simply said, ‘I am unabashed a mother, a wife, and I’ve had a couple careers here in Oak Harbor and these are my experiences. This is how I process it and how it feels.’ It has just been so much fun.” Klope said she did some soul-searching and felt it was time to try something new. A new website is in the works, where she plans to present a faith-based blog incorporating the same philosophy as “Faithful Living.” Yet, under this format, she likes that it will not face
Matt Klope and his wife Joan plan to expand their Oak Harbor taxidermy business to a full-time venture.
the space constraints that newspapers face and that she will be able to choose its frequency of appearances and topic choice. On the flip side, she is saddened that she might lose some of her longtime readers who prefer a print format to online. Klope said she doesn’t want to shut the door on a possible return to the newspaper but welcomes the break to focus on some new pursuits and embrace what life might have in store for her and her family. Her husband, Matt Klope, is planning to retire in the near future after more than 30 years as a federal wildlife biologist for the Navy, then transfer his energies to the family’s taxidermy business
on their property. Joan Klope works as business manager for the taxidermy business, which has operated for 18 years. The Klopes have been a team for a long time. They’ve been married for 33 years after growing up together in Ventura, Calif. They’ve raised four children since moving to Whidbey Island 25 years ago and building a home in Oak Harbor. “I think that Matt’s decision to retire feels as epic as when we decided to have children,” Klope said. “It’s really a big change.” With change comes excitement. “We’re trying to see how exciting this is to have a new era in our life,” she said.

Port to manage county fairgrounds maintained his longtime position that any permanent decision must pencil out, but said the study would be more thorough if the port had first-hand experience of the job. Commissioner Dennis Gregoire was out of town and not present at the meeting. The fairgrounds is owned by Island County, but has for decades been managed and maintained by the Island County Fair Association, the autonomous group that runs the annual fair. Funding hurdles, however, have strained relations between the two parties in recent years. Fair Board officials say many of the buildings are old, requiring expensive repair, or aren’t conducive to an economically sustainable facility, and county decision makers have been unwilling to commit additional funds. A consortium of elected, private and fair officials worked last year to fund and develop a strategic plan that called for a $10 million renovation over a period of 10 years. The proposal, outlined in a $71,000 study by Anacortes-based Landerman-Moore Associates, was widely unpopular with the public
By JUSTIN BURNETT Whidbey News Group
If the money comes through, the Port of South Whidbey is getting into the fairground management business. At a special meeting Wednesday, the board agreed in a 2-0 decision that the best way to know whether or not taking over the Island County Fairgrounds is an economically viable proposal is to do it. So, when the existing maintenance contract between the county and the fair association expires this April, and depending on the outcome of two grant applications, the port will take over management of the nearly 13-acre facility for a period of one year while at the same time conducting a comprehensive $85,000 feasibility study. “The best way to learn about this facility is to run it,” Commissioner Curt Gordon said. Commissioner Ed Halloran, who has been a voice of caution regarding the management proposal since it was first pitched by county officials this past June, agreed and together they decided to move forward. He
CHAIRWOMAN CONTINUED FROM A1 rotation to the board leadership, according to Commissioner Jill Johnson, who made the nomination. The traditional annual rotation has been bucked in recent years due to partisan politics and infighting. “I have been the board chair for a year and a half, and I think that’s been sufficient time chairing, and I think going back to the rotation is healthy for the county,” Johnson said. The nomination was seconded by Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan and Price Johnson accepted the appointment. Former commissioner Kelly Emerson, a Republican, was passed
over for her turn at chairwoman in 2011 when Price Johnson and former commissioner Angie Homola, both Democrats, appointed Price Johnson. Emerson nominated herself as chairwoman at the end of 2012 and again at the beginning of 2013. She was named chairwoman in March 2013, but was stripped of the title after defying board consensus. Johnson has served as chairwoman since that time. Emerson quit suddenly in May of this year, seven months short of her complete term. A Camano Island resident, Emerson also has a residence in
and has since been largely shelved. Organizers had hoped it would be the savior of the financially strapped facility. Subsequently, the fair association’s board decided not to renew its contract with the county, leaving commissioners on the hook for finding a new property manager. Desperate to find a taker, Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson reached out to port commissioners this summer, and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has been working with the district and board members ever since to answer questions and cement a commitment. Price Johnson attended the special meeting, telling the board she was there in hopes of working out an agreement but also urged the port not to delay. The grant process can take time and the county hopes to have a plan in place when the fair association’s contract expires next year. “Our preference is to move forward,” Price Johnson said. The port initially planned to conduct the study and then decide whether to take over management of the fairgrounds. Concern from Kitsap County, where she ran for auditor in this year’s election. She lost to her Democratic opponent by a margin of 5 percent, according to the Kitsap County elections website. Price Johnson pointed out that, according to county code, the board chooses the next year’s chairperson during the first regular board meeting after the general election but has the option to defer that decision until the newly-elected commissioner takes office. Though the election results have not been certified, the apparent winner for District 3 commissioner is Republican Rick Hannold of North Whidbey. He leads opponent Karla Jacks, of Camano Island, by 134 votes as of last count. Johnson said she wouldn’t change her vote in the new year and

Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Curt Gordon listens to Commissioner Ed Halloran. The board agreed, pending grant funding, to launch a study while managing the property for a year. county officials about having a replacement lined up to take over in April when the existing contract is up led to a new proposal, one where the port would apply for grant funds that would pay for both the study and one year’s worth of maintenance. Angi Mozer, the port’s interim executive director, said the district is seeking $135,000 in Island County Rural Economic Development funds and $45,000 in state Community Economic Revitalization Board (or CERB) funds, totaling $180,000.

About $95,000 of that would cover the maintenance work, funding a full-time maintenance worker, a halftime customer service and events coordinator and a one-fourth-time supervisor. The remaining $85,000 would pay for another fairgrounds study, which would include a significant public outreach and planning element. Mozer said the April deadline will be tight but believes the funding will be awarded by then. If the money is secured, port stewardship of the property would begin in April.
