Deputies sign off on union contract Agreement will bring backpay for officers

ayne Lewis’ latest creation is a work in progress, resting on a stack of cinder blocks in a rustic studio in the North Whidbey woods.

The clay sculpture is starting to show the likeness of a prominent, early pioneer of Oak Harbor and his bride as seen in a faded photograph of them taken in 1865.

The hope is for Capt. Edward Barrington and Christina McCrohan to be immortalized on Pioneer Way. Lewis plans to donate the work to the City of Oak Harbor in yet another

After six long years, deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office are finally working under a union contract.

In a last-minute push, both sides in the negotiations process were able to compromise on issues of pay and benefits, according to Deputy Darren Crownover, president of the deputy’s guild.

Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said she is pleased that the sheriff’s office and deputies were able to come to an agreement instead of continuing to arbitration, which was scheduled for next year.

That would have cost both the guild and the county.

“I think that settling the contract with negotiations instead of asking a court to do it fosters a better working relationship,” she said.

Crownover said he is thankful to the

Students face off in culinary arts showdown

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

When it comes to high school competitions, none is quite so delicious as the Student Chef Showdown.

The showdown pits teams of students from the culinary arts and the baking and bastry classes against one another as each team prepares a three-course meal for the audience to judge.

“The food was really good,” said Sheldon Stremler, whose granddaughter was a chef in the competition.

“Some of it’s interesting.”

Each team had a theme they stuck with throughout the menu, including French, Russian, Caribbean, two Italian, vegetarian Latin American and Persian cuisines.

During the event, held Saturday, Nov. 15, at Oak Harbor High School, guests ventured around the room collecting one- or two-ounce samples of the different courses to taste. They then voted on their favorite appetizer, entree, dessert and overall team.

“Food is a passion of mine,” said David Marrufo, a chef on the Caribbean-inspired team. He said the competition was “a great experience for anyone who’s interested in a career in the culinary world.

“You get a lot of experience doing this competition, serving, preparing food and

practicing greeting guests.”

Two of those guests Saturday evening were with the Washington Restaurant Association. Kim and Lyle Hildahl both work in the ProStart program, which partners with schools and restaurants around Washington to provide industry connections to culinary students.

“I help connect the students with the local restaurant operators for job shadowing, mentoring and future employment,” Kim Hildahl said.

Her husband, Lyle Hildahl, runs the Education Foundation with the association and often attends the school competitions.

“The fun thing about competitions … is it gets all the kids involved,” Lyle Hildahl said. “(It) shows what they can do to the public, get immediate feedback, which is very awarding for them.”

For him, one of the highlights included the duck confit poutine, the entree prepared by Patrick Punch on the French-inspired team. It won the best entree.

“He prepared it the way you would normally do it right,” Lyle Hildahl said. “The flavors came out. Letting it rest in your mouth for a little bit, you can just tell how tender and flavorful it was.”

The winning appetizer was the Persian baba ganoush, served with flatbread, prepared by Cody Gumbel, who

Gumbel said he was inspired by his past instructional assistant, who is Iranian, to make Persian food.

The other winners included the Latin American team’s dessert, tuile cups with berries and mango sabayon. The French team won best overall team.

“I liked them all,” Lyle Hildahl said. “There was something about every presentation that stood out.

“More than anything, what I loved was how proud the kids were of the dishes they prepared. It was like they owned it, they loved it.”

The competition also served as a fundraiser for the culinary program to help get the students to larger com-

“It’s a favorite thing for the students to do,” Arthur said.

Education key to preventing, treating diabetes

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

“Type 1 diabetes completely changed our entire life.”

Emili Marrs, mother of three, said that her daughter Jaden’s diagnosis was a complete shock.

After the news sank in, living with diabetes became manageable, though.

“We have three healthy and active girls in school, and life is busy,” Emili Marrs said.

With cases of diabetes rising, one Whidbey General Hospital expert says awareness and education are key to preventing the disease.

Since Type 2 diabetes accounts for 85 percent of cases and has been “on the increase,” according to Don Miller, it’s important people are aware of the symptoms.

Miller, a certified nurse and educator in the Diabetes Education and Management department at the hospital, said common signs include

increased urination and thirst, blurred vision and feeling very tired.

“Those are signs when people have sustained high blood sugars, in the 200s,” Miller said. “Normal blood sugar is under 100 before meals.”

Other symptoms include losing weight without trying, sores that won’t heal and dry, itchy skin.

Though both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes have “some hereditary component,” said Miller, there are ways to help prevent getting the disease.

He recommends maintaining a healthy weight, exercising and eating a healthy diet that’s low in simple carbohydrates.

Type 1 diabetes is an auto immune disease, Miller said. It causes the body to attack the insulin-making cells.

“There is a difference between Type 1 and Type 2,” Marrs said. “Genetics

does play a factor in both types and there is no cure.

However, Type 1 diabetes is not preventable and makes you insulin-dependent for life.

Type 2 can be controlled by exercise and diet.”

People with Type 2 diabetes won’t necessarily need insulin injections, he said, while those with Type 1 need insulin on diagnosis.

Regardless of which type a person has, Miller said the treatments include the same elements.

“The foundation always is a diet and exercise program, so even if you need medications, they always work better if you have an exercise program and a diet that’s consistent and at moderate levels of carbohydrates,” he said.

For Jaden Marrs, her diagnosis means testing her blood sugar 10-12 times a day and taking two different types of insulin. Currently, she is getting multiple daily injections

Jaden Marr’s Type 1 diagnosis changed her family’s life, but she is doing well. and will soon receive a continual glucose monitor, which will alert her whenever her blood sugar gets too high or too low, eliminating the need for 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. checks, Emili Marrs said.

“A diagnosis like this is devastatingly hard,” Emili Marrs said. “It doesn’t seem real or fair. Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react. You can have a bad attitude about how unfair it is that your (perfectly healthy-seeming) child gets a disease with no cure, or you can create a plan and move forward.”

Whidbey General Hospital offers classes to educate people on diabetes, as well

as to help manage it after diagnosis.

Every other month, it offers a Preventing Diabetes Class, free to the community.

The next is planned for sometime in January.

The hospital also offers a four-class series for people diagnosed with diabetes to help plan a diet and exercise program and to help keep blood sugar controlled.

Those classes are funded

by Medicare. The next one is 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, in the hospital’s conference rooms.

While Type 2 diabetes is on the increase, Miller said, “we do see that there are interventions, we call them

lifestyle interventions, that can reverse that.

“We know how to prevent it, and we know they work.”

“As hard as a diagnosis like this is on your child and your family,” Emili Marrs said, “try and take advantage of the learning opportunities that this presents.

“Let nothing in life stop them from reaching their goals. Diabetes is a part of Jaden, but it does not define her or what she is capable of accomplishing in life.” n For information, visit www.whidbeygen.org/ services/diabetes-educationmanagement or call 360-3217656, ext. 2661.

San Juan

REHABILITATION CENTER 911 21st Street, Anacortes,WA • 360-293-7222 www.sanjuanrehab.com I started my teaching career at Oregon Episcopal School in Portland from 1949 to 1979 and was principal the last 14 years. In I957-1959 my husband, Jim, and I cruised in the summers from Anacortes in our 16 ft. outboard boat to Princess Louisa Inlet in B.C. 438 miles, an unusual trip for a small boat. At age 55, we moved to Seattle, Jim worked at Doc Freeman’s Boating Store and I worked as a fundraiser for Lakeside School.

At age 65 we retired, traveled, and enjoyed several more years in our 34” Hans Christian Sailboat.

Jim’s health never permitted him to return to Princess Louisa but I made trips in 2002 and 2005. Jim died in 2007 and boating ended for me. I made trips to the Inlet in a tour boat. I’ve now made 14 trips to the Inlet.

I wrote my first book “Adventuring to Princess Louisa Inlet” in 2011. It’s a re-enactment of the 3 trips we made in the 50’s. My second book, “The Gift”, written at age 90, is about the Inlet. The 40 descriptive pages and 73 photos are emotional and show my flaming love for the Inlet. This deep love was responsible for my gift of one half million dollars to the directors. The amount was a complete surprise to the directors on the night of my presentation, Oct. 24, 2014.

I broke my hip and had been at San Juan Rehab from Sept 25th until November 12th. The excellent care by Therapist’s made improvements but it was doubtful that I could travel to Vancouver B.C. for the presentation of my one half million dollar gift on October 24th. On October 22nd my Therapists at San Juan had me attempt to get into my car to ensure I could safely travel. I could and I was allowed to travel on the 24th. Gone from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., everyone at San Juan was anxious to learn about my presentation. Thanks everyone at San Juan for your excellent therapy, nursing, nutritious meals and all the caring staff that made my recovery possible. I love each of you.

OBITUARIES

Birkeland

Paul Birkeland

Paul Birkeland, age 96, went home to be with his Lord and saviour Friday, Nov. 7, 2014. Paul Maldal Birkeland was born Sept.

4, 1918, in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, to Carl and Sophie Birkeland (nee Lassen). His father was a U.S. Foreign Service officer.

Paul spent his early childhood and teens living with his parents at his father’s assignments to many European countries. He attended local schools and learned to speak six foreign languages, Norwegian, Danish, German, French, Polish and Swedish. Paul graduated from the Lycee Francais de Varsovie, a French high school in Warsaw, Poland, and in 1938 traveled to the U.S. to attend the University of Illinois, majoring in political science. He was a member of the ROTC and in 1942 earned his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Field Artillery.

Shortly after his assignment to Ft. Sill, Okla., he was transferred to the newly established Military Intelligence Training Center (MITC) at Camp Ritchie, Md., where he was in the first class to graduate. In early 1943, he was selected for overseas service as Assistant Military Attaché at the American Embassy to the Allied Governments in exile in London, Norway, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland and Belgium.

Because of his previous residence in Poland and near native fluency in Polish, he was assigned to work with the Polish General Staff Intelligence Service in the procurement of intelligence in support of the war in Europe. For this he was awarded the Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal by the United States and the Polish Gold Cross of Merit and Order of Polonia Restituta by Poland.

In 1947, at the conclusion of his tour of duty in Belgrade, he returned to the U.S., where he was assigned to duty in G-2 (Intelligence) in the Pentagon. In 1949, he was contacted by the CIA with an offer to work with the agency.

He was a 1958 graduate of the Army War College.

He took retirement in 1973 and moved to Oak Harbor but agreed to contract employment with the CIA as a recruiter in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years.

Crawford

June J. Crawford

June J. Crawford, age 98, died Nov. 18, 2014, at HomePlace Memory Care, Oak Harbor. She was born June 8, 1916, in Capper, Okla., one of nine children.

She traveled by horse and wagon with her parents at the age of two to Colorado, where her family homesteaded. Her father was a skilled carpenter and he built a rock house for the family.

The family left Colorado and returned to Oklahoma and then Arkansas. June, as a young woman, met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Crawford. Bob was not able to find work in Arkansas and traveled to Washington and Grays Harbor, where he had an aunt and uncle. He was hired as a logger and later as a truck driver building logging roads for Weyerhaeuser.

He returned to Arkansas, where he and June were married Nov. 1, 1937.

June and Bob moved to Brooklyn, Wash., (Pacific Co), where they settled on a 40-acre farm in the North River area. Bob worked in the Saganau logging camp in Brooklyn. Soon, daughters Edith and Linda joined the family. June remained at home, working the farm; she was a mother, hunter, fisherman, carpenter, gardener, skilled seamstress, horticulturist and rock hound. June was one of the few women in the North River valley who could drive and soon became the neighborhood shuttle driver for her daughters, as well as her friends.

June and Bob spent 55 years in Grays Harbor. She is probably best known for her fishing skills.

In 1983, June and Bob purchased a home in Oak Harbor, and, reluctantly, they made Oak Harbor home in 1992. Bob died in 1997, just a few days before their 60th anniversary. June remained in her home until she was 95, and for the past several years, she had been a resident of HomePlace.

June is survived by two daughters and their husbands, Edith and Larry Porter of Oak Harbor and Linda and Kenneth Rubin of Savanah, Ga. She is survived

by two grandchildren, Jeff and Mike (Ingrid) Porter; by four great-grandchildren, Justin, Tim, Melissa and Ryan Porter; and one “adopted” son, Ken Mills, and his wife, Linda. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bert and Nina Crown, all seven brothers, one sister and granddaughter Melanie Porter.

Graveside funeral services for June Crawford will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, 2014, at Maple Leaf Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC. Memorials may be sent to the Melanie Porter Camp Scholarship Fund at Whidbey Presbyterian Church or to North River Food Bank (a favorite charity) 2597 N. River Road, Cosmopolis, WA 98537.

Peterson

Robert L. ‘Pete’ Peterson

Robert L. “Pete” Peterson, age 80, a longtime resident of Oak Harbor, passed away Sunday morning, Nov. 16, 2014, at the family home, following a three-year struggle with cancer.

Pete was born April 13, 1934, in Lost Springs, Kan., to L.L. “Jim” and Mary Francis (Steele) Peterson.

He lived there until his graduation from Lost Springs High School in 1951. From there he went to work for the Kansas Department of Transportation for two years.

In early 1953 Pete enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving during the Korean War. Following basic training at Great Lakes, he was stationed at NAS Whidbey.

It was during this time he met his future wife and best friend, Peggy Abrahamse, through mutual friends in February 1954. They were married Dec. 16, 1955, in Oak Harbor at the First Reformed Church.

Pete’s life work was in construction. He was a skilled carpenter and took great pride in his work for nearly

50 years. He was truly an “outdoors” person. He loved working in his vegetable gardens, driving his tractor and riding lawn mower. He daily fed the deer, raccoons, quail and various other animals that frequented their yard. Pete was also an avid fisherman and hunter. He was passionate about old cars, especially restoring his 1956 190SL Mercedes. His last project was a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that he built into a custom street rod.

For many years, Pete and Peggy spent wonderful times on their Honda Gold Wing motorcycle, which was a special time in their life together.

One of their favorite trips was to Glacier National Park and then on to Kansas to visit with Pete’s family.

Pete is survived by his wife, Peggy; their three children, Jim (Karen), of East Wenatchee, Jill, of Bellingham, and Mike (Amy,) of Sedro Woolley; 12 grandchildren; and two great-granddaughters. He is also survived by his sister, Marilyn Rhodes, of Wichita, Kan.; brothers Richard (Joyce) of Concordia, Kan., Leo of Salina, Kan., and Philip (Jan) of Brookeville, Kan.; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents.

A memorial service and Celebration of Pete’s life will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, at the First Reformed Church, Pastor Matt Waite officiating. Private inurnment will take place at Maple Leaf Cemetery. Memorial donations are suggested to the American Cancer Society, 728 SW 134th St., Suite #101, Everett, WA 98204.

Democrats victims of their own inattention THE PETRI DISH

By Jerry Cornfield

Democrats are trying to sort out what went wrong in the election and why the presence of Initiative 594 on the ballot didn’t motivate more of their voters to turn out.

Party leaders believed a small boost of pro-Democrat voters in just the right places could swing a close race and maybe upend a targeted Republican.

It didn’t play out that way. Democrats lost seats in both chambers — sometimes in communities where the measure is passing handily.

Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King County and four in the House, deposing three incumbent Democrats. Those seats are in districts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap counties.

Initiative 594 is passing in all those counties, except Mason, according to data assembled thus far by initiative supporters.

“I don’t think it hurt us, but I don’t think it helped us to the degree that we thought it would,” said Adam Bartz, executive director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

One explanation is that, in spite of polls detailing the measure’s popularity with voters, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative.

Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively campaigned for it and won with 54.5 percent.

Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure.

They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994, when the group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban.

The NRA flexed its muscle again three years later by helping upend a statewide gun control-related initiative.

Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994.

Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly.

“We didn’t energize our base enough, and the other side did,” he said. “I just think we got caught in the wave.”

Backers of Initiative 594 wonder if Democrats may revise their analysis when the final election numbers are known.

While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing on the strength of votes from Democrats, Republicans and independents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place.

“We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign.

“That’s a message candidates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said.

And one that Democrats may wish they had paid more attention to in the election. n Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com. Contact him at 360-352-8623; jcornfield@heraldnet.com and on Twitter at @dospueblos

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Second Amendment

Background checks won’t solve problem Editor, Recently I read a letter to the editor about gun ownership, specifically the responsibilities of securing those weapons properly.

I strongly support our Second Amendment right to own/bear arms. It is a very important right for the public as well as personal safety.

To quote Thomas Jefferson, “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

Now very true, more so than ever.

I own many different types of firearms, and absent the few I keep available in case the need arises, the rest are stored in a very heavy, secured, fire-proof safe.

I realize many people will say they cannot afford to buy a safe. If you can afford to buy a gun, you cannot afford not to buy a safe.

The incidents of gun violence more often involve people who illegally

obtained a firearm and not legal owners such as myself. Theft is one of the primary sources of these illegally obtained weapons.

As private citizens, I believe we have an obligation to society to properly secure the weapons we own, to do the best we can to keep them out of the wrong hands from the neighbor’s curious child on up to the hardened criminal.

We do not have a gun problem. We have a people problem. Prevent the thefts and, for the love of God, someone in government please have the guts to pass laws that allow thorough, no-stone-unturned background checks on all gun sales.

I don’t give a hoot who that background check might offend.

A mentally ill person should not be able to buy a gun. It has happened many times and resulted in disaster.

I do not believe for a minute any laws are going to completely stop this problem. Good security practices and legislation with some teeth can go a long way to preventing much of the violence.

Remember, banning guns only helps the crooks.

Bob and Patti Stallone Freeland

Letter

Choosing to not vote isn’t tacit approval Editor, In response to Mr. Robert Jobe’s Nov. 14 letter to the editor, “Low voter turnout was ‘disgusting,’ ” my vote is earned, not obligated.

If I don’t vote, it’s because I choose not to vote. It’s not because I’m complacent or apathetic, and certainly not because I’m disgusting.

It’s because nobody has earned it.

I’m willing to live in a society that I disagree with, and I feel no guilt, nor any responsibility, for it. My non-vote is not tacit approval of the winner.

Others have chosen the winner, not me. If I’m not given a choice that I feel is worthy of my approval, then why would I compromise my values by choosing a lesser of two evils?

That’s like borrowing to pay off debt — when does it stop? I do appreciate your passionate desire for an involved citizenry; however, by not voting, I’m making a statement: I will not compromise; our society demands better.

Airman refocuses, points career skyward

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Anthony Longoria will never forget the look on his father’s face.

Longoria was on leave from the Navy and visiting his father at his home in Dallas last month when his cell phone rang.

Waiting word on his latest application into Officer Candidate School, Longoria recognized the first six digits of the phone number as being from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and his heart started to race. He answered the phone, recognized his commanding officer’s voice and listened to him state the news he had waited years to hear.

Longoria excitedly put the device on speaker phone as his commanding officer, command master chief, executive officer and division officer all offered congratulations through a conference call back at NAS Whidbey in Oak Harbor.

Meanwhile, Mark Longoria sat on his couch and stared at his son.

“My dad’s eyes were wide open,” Anthony said. “You could see how proud he was.”

Anthony Longoria’s acceptance into Officer Candidate School wasn’t something that was supposed to be in the cards for someone who grew up a troubled teen, barely graduated from high school and didn’t take military service seriously at first.

Even when he enlisted in the Navy Sept. 11, 2006, his decision was partly based on

the “shiny shoes” and sleek uniform worn by his recruiter, not so much about the American flag and protecting freedoms.

“He wanted to be that guy,” Mark Longoria remembered.

But something happened to Longoria in the years after he stumbled early in military life.

He grew up.

Running into off-duty trouble twice less than two years after enlistment, he faced non-judicial punishment each time and was concerned his Navy career might be short-lived.

He believes what saved him was his tireless work ethic, superior test scores, ability to be a self-starter and impressions he’d made on his superiors who saw something special in him and ultimately recommended not to give up on the teenager quite yet.

“Captain looked at me and said, ‘Airman Longoria, this is your last chance. Most people don’t get a third chance in the Navy.’”

Longoria charted a course to shed his “trouble-maker” label and kept his nose in the books to move up the ranks.

While on deployment to South America, he remembers studying after working the night shift and falling asleep in front of his laptop.

Before he turned 20, he made third class. By 21, he was second class.

Now 26, Longoria is an aviation support equipment technician first class with the Fleet Readiness Center Northwest at NAS Whidbey.

Since arriving in Oak Harbor four years ago, his

Anthony Longoria, an aviation support equipment technician first class with Fleet Readiness Center Northwest at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, is headed to Officer Candidate School after his third application was approved. own expectations of himself have continued to soar.

He enrolled at Brandman University to pursue a bachelor’s degree and graduated with honors with a 3.67 grade-point average in June.

Twice, he applied to Officer Candidate School through the highly-competitive Seaman to Admiral program for enlisted sailors but got alternate status each time.

“I was the No. 1 loser two years in a row,” he joked.

After completing his bach-

elor’s degree in computing technology, Longoria applied again, entered into a master’s program and anxiously waited for an answer.

He got the answer he wanted last month in Texas.

“I couldn’t be more proud of him,” Mark Longoria said.

“He’s come a long way.”

Longoria leaves today for Officer Candidate School, which will encompass 12 weeks of intense training in Newport, R.I., starting Sunday morning.

He was originally slated to

go in March but got word of another opportunity.

“They said, ‘There’s one slot available if you can leave in two weeks.’”

Having spent his entire military service among the maintainers, he’s embarking on a new pursuit as a commissioned Naval Flight Officer.

He’s proud of his background and the perspective it will bring.

“I know what it’s like.

I’ve been there,” he said.

ARIES, TAURUS, AND GEMINI.

Week of November 23 to 29, 2014 ARIES Many companies make big changes at this time of year, and you may benefit from them. You rise to prominence while others abandon ship.

TAURUS You are truly inspired by the idea of undertaking a long journey on the spur of the moment. It’s also possible that you’ll have to carry out some urgent work at home.

GEMINI You change your plans suddenly.

You are also faced with some rather contradictory choices. Just be patient until things get back to normal.

CANCER Balance between the different areas of your life is not always easy to achieve; some changes at home can help you succeed in this area.

Your health requires you to get more sleep.

LEO You are inspired to develop your own home-based business. You develop new, ambitious career goals that show you off to advantage.

VIRGO You experience a fairly spectacular period of success. You set yourself apart from a large number of people and receive some form of distinction.

LIBRA A big cleanup is needed at home.

Some de-cluttering will help you feel freer. There is a lot of confusion in the air and you move to dissipate it as quickly as possible.

SCORPIO You could receive a lot of criticism or have to deal with people who don’t express themselves very clearly.Your natural incisiveness manifests itself as you vent all your frustrations.

SAGITTARIUS You receive a sizeable amount of money related to an insurance claim or an inheritance. You’ll probably have to be tactful and diplomatic in order to get it.

CAPRICORN You are a real ball of energy that flies in all directions at once. Try to do some physical activity, otherwise you could succumb to depression.

Some insomnia is just around the corner; your mind is spinning with all sorts of ideas and worries. You are inspired by a new career that is beginning to take shape.

SCULPTURE CONTINUED FROM A1 gesture to the community he’s called home for three decades.

In September, he gave the city a sculpture he made of a Native American fisherman to recognize the city’s earliest inhabitants.

Lewis began discussions with Oak Harbor Arts Commission member and local historian Peggy DarstTownsdin several years ago about the need to bring attention to the city’s early pioneers.

Barrington was identified because of his prominent role in early Oak Harbor history as a businessman, sea captain and landowner.

Although he wasn’t among the first wave of donation land claim owners, Barrington purchased two major claims and took ownership of much of the waterfront property that makes up the city’s historic downtown core, said Darst-Townsdin, who is Barrington’s greatgreat-granddaughter.

He also opened the first general store/saloon in Oak

Harbor on the main street through town that bears the name Barrington Avenue.

That road kept the name for about a century until being renamed Pioneer Way in the 1950s.

“It was the first general store,” Lewis said. “I’d liken that to the first Walmart. He was it.”

Darst-Townsdin said McCrohan’s mark on Oak Harbor also was significant.

“When Captain Barrington passed away in 1883, she inherited a lot of the land,” Darst-Townsdin said. “She had a lot of land plotted out into lots, setting aside that (Oak Tree Park), now Smith Park, could remain a town park.

“In a way, she officially established the town as a plotted-out city with lots of town parks.”

Lewis said he is about 80 percent done with the sculpture, needing to add detail to the faces and hair “and smooth things out.”

He said the piece is similar in size as the “Island

Spirit” Native American sculpture. It is 3 feet tall and will rest on a 3-foot pedestal.

Lewis plans to take his proposal to the arts commission in the spring. He is asking that the city cover costs for bronze casting just like it did with the Native American artwork.

Oak Harbor’s Ron Wallin designed, built and donated the base for that project.

Lewis estimated the bronze casting would cost about $12,000 for the Barrington piece, which is about double the cost of the Native American sculpture because there are two figures to cast instead of one.

If the proposal meets commission approval, the matter will go before a vote of the city council.

The idea is for the Barrington piece to join other sculptures on Pioneer Way at roughly the location of the old Barrington general store at the east end of street.

Lewis also created the bronze of a Dutch boy sweeper at Windjammer Park.

“I don’t know what my next project will be,” Lewis said.

GUILD

Saturday, November 22, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

CONTINUED FROM A1 county leadership, especially the commissioners.

“We’ve been living on 2008 wages,” he said. “It’s nice to bring the guys up to 2014 wages.”

While negotiations were stalled with deputies, the county was able to give cost-of-living raises to other employees.

The settlement will cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the commissioners saved for the eventuality, said Budget Director Elaine Marlow.

Island County commissioners approved the contract this week. Crownover said the members of the guild overwhelmingly voted to support it.

Under the settlement agreement, deputies will get lump-sum payments of retroactive wage increases, though the payout may not come in time for Christmas.

Marlow said the backpay will cost the county about $700,000; about $600,000 of that is actual backpay, while the rest is payroll tax and retirement costs.

Deputy Darren Crownover, at left, speaks with Mike Cotton, deputy chief of South Whidbey Fire/EMS, at the scene of a water rescue.

She estimates that the average deputy, who currently makes about $60,000 a year, will get $18,000 to $20,000 in backpay. The department has 35 deputies, but a couple are newer and will receive only a year or so of backpay while more-senior members of the department will receive more.

Only deputies currently employed will get the back pay; those who are retired do not qualify, she said.

Marlow said the goal is to get the money to the deputies by the end of the year.

Under the contract, the deputies won’t receive wage increases for the years 2009 and 2010, which was when the county made deep cuts to balance the budget.

But they are receiving the following wage increases: 1.5 percent for 2011, 3 percent for 2012, 3.5 percent for 2013, 4 percent for 2014 and 2 percent for 2015.

The deputies agreed to drop their medical plan and go to less-expensive options, Marlow explained.

In addition, Crownover said the guild will drop its lawsuit against the county for alleged violations of the open public records law.

Marlow estimates that the wage increases will cost the county an extra $352,000 next year in deputies’ salaries, but the change in medical plans will save the county about $50,000.

Marlow explained that county officials have the money set aside in a reserve account for the backpay. In addition, she said there’s a contingency amount earmarked for the wage increases in next year’s budget.

In total, the county will pay the deputies roughly $2.8 million in wages and $1.2 million in benefits and retirement in 2015, Marlow said.

Crownover said the agreement should do wonders for morale.

“It’s been six years of frustration,” he said. “I’m sure we’ve frustrated them as much as we were frustrated as well.”

DRUG BUST CONTINUED FROM A1 session of meth with intent to deliver, possession of heroin and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Churchill agreed with the deputy prosecutor’s recommendation to set Brown’s bail at $150,000.

Deputies who served the search warrant said they found cigarette cases containing suspected illegal drugs inside the car.

Inside one car was a plastic bag with a golfball-sized amount of suspected meth, according to the police report.

Detective Ed Wallace said the 33.93 grams of meth is worth about $2,700.

The deputies said they also found suspected heroin, $300 in cash and a glass pipe, the report states.

In addition, they found a locked, 400-pound floor safe.

When the deputies asked Brown for the combination, he said he didn’t own

it, according to Wallace’s report.

The safe was taken to another location and opened.

Inside the safe deputies found documents with Brown’s name on them, as well as a loaded Taurus .38-caliber revolver and a stainless Walther PPK .380-caliber pistol with a loaded magazine in it, Wallace wrote in the report.

Brown has three felony drug-related convictions. He was the owner and operator of O&J Sales on Goldie Road when it was raided by deputies. They seized more than 94 grams of meth and arrested Brown, according to court documents.

The health department closed down the dealership because tests showed extreme levels of meth contamination in an office building and in cars.

The clean-up cost thousands of dollars.
