‘Fanbulance’ stays on Whidbey

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Sam Myers of Coupeville goes over paperwork with Penny Perka of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County the day after his name was drawn as winner of the Seahawks’ ‘Fanbulance.’

Of the more-than-10,000 raffle tickets sold for the Seahawks’ Fanbulance, the odds of the winner coming from Whidbey Island were somewhat remote.

After all, the bulk of the tickets were sold off-island.

But soon after the name of Coupeville’s Sam Myers was announced as winner of the sleek rig, the oddities didn’t end there.

As it turns out, Myers’ daughter is a

paramedic and her husband an emergency medical technician, and both had driven the same ambulance for Whidbey General EMS before it was decommissioned and transformed into a Seahawks fan’s ultimate dream ride.

Myers even wondered aloud if he might’ve ridden in the back of the rig himself during an emergency years ago, only to learn later it wasn’t the same ambulance.

Now, he gets to ride in one again — one that is the envy of the region’s 12th

Man faithful.

“I’d rather be in the driver’s seat, no doubt about that,” Myers said.

Myers, 75, a retired electronics technician in aircraft maintenance at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, was handed the keys to his new rig Sunday in Oak Harbor a couple hours after his ticket was pulled out of a basket at Flyers Restaurant and Brewery at halftime of the Seattle Seahawks’ game against the SEE FANBULANCE, A13

Before the tree-lighting event in downtown Oak Harbor Saturday night, Santa made his rounds and hugged children after climbing down from an Oak Harbor Fire Department fire engine. The annual event, organized jointly by the Downtown Merchants Association and Chamber of Commerce, drew several hundred people to officially kick-start the holiday season on North Whidbey. Holiday events continue this Saturday with the sixth annual Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor Christmas Home Tour. Five North Whidbey homes will be featured on the self-guided tour.

Veteran wreath program coming to Oak Harbor 9 a.m. Saturday

Navy Band Northwest will perform a free concert Sunday at Oak Harbor High School.

Navy Band to play new, old season classics

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Navy Band Northwest will present “A Gift of Music” in this year’s free holiday concert.

The performance, which will feature a wide array of Christmas classics, will begin 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at the Oak Harbor High School Auditorium.

“We’re excited about the variety of the pro-

gram,” said the band’s director, Lt. Bruce Mansfield.

“There’s a little something for everyone.”

The Silverdale-based band is one of nine fleet bands and covers the Pacific Northwest from Montana to Washington and down to Nevada.

The 35-member band performs more than 400 concerts each year, both as a whole band and as

smaller ensembles.

While last year’s concert was more jazz heavy, this year will focus on old and new concert band pieces like “March of the Toys” and the award-winning theme song from Disney’s “Frozen.”

Other music will include “Sleigh Ride”

by Leroy Anderson, a holiday medley sung by a barbershop quartet

and a “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” with a live narrator.

Santa and the Grinch are both expected to make an appearance, Mansfield said.

Performances will also include smaller instrument combos such as the Deception Brass delivering a New Orleans-style flavor as well as contemporary rock band Passage.

For the first time ever, Oak Harbor will participate this weekend in a national veteran’s campaign aimed at honoring and educating the public.

Organizer John Burton will bring Wreaths Across America, the mission of which is “Remember, honor, teach,” 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, at Maple Leaf Cemetery.

Wreaths Across America is an organization that coordinates wreath laying ceremonies on a specified Saturday in December at veterans’ cemeteries.

The organization aims to spread the message about the importance of honoring fallen members of the military.

This Saturday, Burton will be placing the wreath dedicated to the Navy in honor of his grandfather who served. He died last month.

“It’s a blessing and an honor and a privilege to do this,” Burton said.

In addition to the ceremonial Navy wreath, there will be ceremonial wreaths for the Merchant Marines, the Marines, the Air Force, the Army, the Coast Guard and the Prisoners of War. There will also be a Blue Star wreath and a Gold Star wreath, presented by a mother who has a

child in the military and mother who has lost a child in service, respectively.

There will also be 40 wreaths laid on the headstones of veterans at the cemetery.

Burton said he learned about the ceremony and the meanings of all the wreaths as he went along.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley, who will present the Washington state wreath and has served in the Navy, will be the main speaker.

The Patriot Guard will do a flag line, and there might be a military presentation of the color guard. A bugle player will also perform, and the National Anthem will be sung.

For the people who are presenting wreaths, Burton suggests arriving at the cemetery at 8:30 a.m., before the general public arrives.

Burton said that although he has not served in the military, many of his family members are currently serving or have served.

Considering that Oak Harbor hosts a Navy base, he said he wanted to bring Wreaths Across America to town.

“I saw that something in town needed to be done,” Burton said.

“So I jumped in.

“I’m ecstatic for how this is going to turn out in the end.”

Hot diggity dog! Plumber opens eatery Owner of Deano’s Diner hopes his style of hot dogs will attract Greenbank passersby

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

The handshake is the first indication that this is no ordinary hot dog vendor.

Dean Parmenter’s hands have a rough feel, the byproduct of 37 years as a plumber.

But the physical demands of plumbing caused Parmenter to rethink his future and reinvent himself.

In October, he opened Deano’s Diner in Greenbank, hoping that one day he will able to put his plumber’s wrench away for good.

“I used to work like a dog,” Parmenter, 54, said. “Now, I’m paying for it. A friend of mine told me that I’d always be doing plumbing.

I said, ‘Don’t tell me that.’ ” Parmenter is aware that he’s only taken baby steps toward his goal of becoming a full-time restaurateur.

His eatery, located next to the Greenbank Store & Grille on State Highway 525, is very much still a glorified hot dog stand at this point, with a menu that consists of hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and soda.

However, Deano’s Diner is an indoor venue with a cozy feel, limited seating and potential only as large as the owner’s imagination.

French fries are the next item in his sights.

“I got a deep fryer yesterday,” Parmenter said last week. “I just

Rocco Gianni of Langley is a repeat customer at Deano’s Diner, guessing he’s stopped at least four times. need to figure out how to cook them. I can always figure things out.”

It’s clear by spending only a short time with Parmenter that he’s having fun and enjoys interacting with customers.

He still works as a plumber on Monday and Tuesday and opens the diner only from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

Grilling hot dogs is nothing new to Parmenter, who’s operated a cart at various sites the past two years on and off Whidbey Island, including events in Chehalis and Leavenworth.

He takes care to steam the wieners rather than boil, then places them on a grill before serving.

Parmenter’s selection consists of a gourmet German sausage, Louisiana spicy smoked hot dog, a quarter-pounder-plus frank and a veggie dog, with prices ranging from $4 to $6.

Dean Parmenter, a longtime plumber from Bayview, is trying his hand at the restaurant business. In October, he opened Deano’s Diner in Greenbank, where he’s cooking up hot dogs and burgers Wednesday through Saturday.

Do-it-yourself condiments include sauerkraut, onions, cream cheese and a variety of sauces.

“I’ve been searching for one of these things,” said Rocci Gianni of Langley. “Whenever I come through here, I hit it.

“Deano’s a nice guy. I want to see him succeed.”

Gianni spoke between bites of a spicy selection. He was munching on a German sausage with sauerkraut, onions and jalapeños and lathered in jalapeño mustard

sauce.

“I keep coming back for it,” Gianni said.

Parmenter said he’s been eyeing the location since it was vacated by its last tenant, Whidbey Rice, which closed after four years.

He spent time at the site in late September, counting the number of cars to gauge traffic at a slow time of year on the island. He counted about 100 cars per hour.

“It’s all about numbers with me,” Parmenter said.

The holidays can be especially difficult when grieving a loss

During an afternoon rush, Parmenter had eight customers in his diner at one time last week, each interested in a hot dog.

His burgers are made from unfrozen ground beef. In the future, he’s looking to add tacos and soft-served ice cream.

He said it’s scary to try a venture like this, but exciting all the same.

“I kind of want to be done with plumbing,” Parmenter said. “It just doesn’t interest me like it used to.”

Man faces assault charge

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor man with “an extensive criminal history” is facing charges related to a May 17 domestic violence case, according to a report by Oak Harbor Police Officer Mel Lolmaugh.

Prosecutors charged 49-year-old Shane Leach in Island County Superior Court Dec. 1 with second-degree assault, a domestic-violence charge and three counts of harassment for allegedly making threats to kill.

Oak Harbor police officers responded to a 911 report of a domestic dispute at a Southwest Sixth Avenue apartment building early in the morning. The two officers heard the sound of a

struggle, opened the door and saw Leach on top of a woman, the officer wrote.

One of the officers pulled Leach off the woman. The officers tased Leach repeatedly as he resisted arrest, the report states. They were finally able to handcuff him and place him in a patrol car.

The woman, who had been in a relationship with Leach, said he came into the apartment while she was sleeping in bed and started calling her names. He allegedly jumped on her and choked her, the officer wrote.

The alleged victim said she kicked the wall to alert a neighbor. He hit her on the head and told her he was going to kill her, Lolmaugh wrote.

She ran to the front door

of the apartment, but he blocked her and grabbed her by the throat and pinched her nose closed, the report states.

The woman said she was seeing stars and thought she was going to die, the officer wrote.

Leach also threatened to kill the two officers while he was in the patrol car, the report states.

Leach’s criminal history includes both felony and misdemeanor assault charges, vehicle prowl, resisting arrest, five DUIs, two attempts to elude and 11 probation violations.

Leach could face up to eight years in prison under the standard sentencing range if convicted of the charges against him.

Crash results in criminal charge

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 23-year-old Coupeville man who allegedly struck a bicyclist in a May 17 accident on Bakken Road is facing a felony charge, court documents indicate.

Prosecutors charged Taylor C. Evans in Island County Superior Court Nov. 21 with vehicular assault.

Detective Charles Sletten with the Washington State Patrol investigated the collision.

Sletten’s report states that

Evans admitted drinking beer prior to the accident.

A woman asked Evans to drive her parents’ Chevrolet pickup to their home on Bakken Road, the report states. Evans was going west on Bakken Road when he turned in front of Christina Bromme, 46, of Coupeville, who was bicycling eastward.

Bromme tried to avoid getting hit and went down on her bike; she was “over-ran” by the pickup, the report states.

Bromme was airlifted to

Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious face and head injuries. She was later diagnosed with a fractured jaw and a tear in a cerebral membrane. She has undergone multiple surgeries, the report states.

Evans’ blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.12, above the legal limit of 0.08, Sletten wrote.

If convicted of the charge, Evans could face from one to nine months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

IN OUR OPINION

Time was right for Dudley to move along Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley doesn’t play well with others.

It made sense for the Oak Harbor City Council to appoint him to the Island Transit board earlier this year.

The board needed someone pushy, even overbearing, to shake things up and force the resignation of former director Martha Rose and watchdog the agency from the inside.

The council was also right to remove him from the transit board in the new year and replace him with Councilman Rick Almberg.

Dudley is skilled at tearing things down. He fired a series of administrators when first elected, decisions which were initially welcomed by the public but later criticized when he went too far.

Going forward, IT needs a board that can work collaboratively, solve problems and improve the public perception of the vital agency. Besides Almberg, the board will have at least one other new member as Aubrey Vaughan is no longer a commissioner.

Unfortunately, Dudley just hasn’t proven himself capable of being a productive member of a team. He’s just not the guy who rolls up his sleeves, listens to others and proposes positive ideas.

As the Whidbey News-Times reported several times, Dudley’s appointment to the IT board was only to the end of the year and the council members could have quietly replaced him during the regular committee assignments at the beginning of the year.

Thankfully, the council chose to discuss the issue headon and in public, though they should have given the community notice that it was going to be added to the agenda.

Several council members criticized Dudley for going to the Coupeville and Langley council meetings to urge the other elected officials to remove their representatives from the IT board. He claimed the current representatives have not done their jobs well.

Ironically, it turns out that Dudley is the one being replaced because his council doesn’t like the job he’s done.

Almberg promised to keep a close eye on Island Transit and even micro-manage the agency, but while working well with others. We wish him luck.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Jet Noise

‘Hush house’ will not solve problem

Editor, The so-called “hush house” being touted by Congressman Rick Larsen and the Navy will not solve the Growler jet noise problem. It may give some relief to those impacted by “run-ups” of jets on the ground, but it will do nothing to address the documented levels of harmful noise caused by jets flying over our homes, schools and parks.

The Navy’s own environmental study identifies rarely mentioned single-event flyover noise levels that we actually experience.

Buried in the pages of the of 2013 report on Navy P-8 jets are modeled Growler noise levels for Oak Harbor’s Clover Valley School and Olympic View Elementary School. They are 111 and 109 decibels respectively. Noise at Oak Harbor’s City Beach Park is 109, and Deception State Park, where our tourists are already being given jet noise warnings, is 112 decibels. La Connor Middle School is 92 and Picnic Point in Anacortes 90.

All of these noise levels exceed 85

decibels — where the Navy admits that hearing damage begins – and far exceed levels where learning is affected. And they don’t even reflect increased noise that will come with the additional Growlers now being sought by the Navy.

None of this will be reduced with a “hush house,” neither will noise associated with the OLF or Growler Warfare Training over the Olympic National Park and Forest be reduced — not by a single decibel.

The “hush house” won’t solve the Navy jet noise problem — or silence victims. The best solution is to relocate Growlers from Whidbey.

Richard Abraham Greenbank Noise Victim

Impact

We’ll see the impacts of the sound of silence

Editor, Ah, yes, the endangered spotted owl and his accomplice, the marbled murrelet. When you have no facts to back up your statements, let’s bring up an endangered species to get some attention.

It makes you look rather foolish.

I would like Mr. Wilbur (who wrote a Dec. 6 letter to the editor) to please state his sources of how flying above the Olympic National forest is impacting these creatures.

The training for the aircrew in searching out electronic emissions is invaluable, and the radiation emitted by the mobile transmitters is no worse, I am going to guess, than a cell phone tower.

Not knowing how long Mr. Wilbur has lived in the area, his statement of Prowlers and Growlers not being planned to be here is false. Whidbey Island was specifically selected during WWII due to its mild weather and excellent areas for different types of training.

As far as COER goes, this group has one goal in mind, and that is to close NAS Whidbey. By his letter, Mr. Wilbur is an ardent supporter of theirs. His closing states that the jets of the Navy cannot coexist with the environmentalists. Well, I guess we will see how that pans out as the sound of silence is just that: no jobs, no shopping and a very reduced school system.

As for me, let the sound of freedom continue.

ANOTHER MARK THE DATE LETTER Panhandling ❄ ❅ ❆ Holiday Worship Give out food not money

Editor, Giving money to panhandlers may make you feel better about “the kindness of your charitable act,” but giving no thought to how that money will be spent is definitely not a kindness. You are most likely funding the drug and/or alcohol addiction of somebody’s son, daughter, brother, sister, mother or father.

A big concern with the panhandlers is their location at the entrance/exit of Safeway. With the constant flow of traffic in and out and on the street, it is not a safe spot for anyone to be loitering.

Since the panhandlers are now on shift rotation and at times have up to three people visiting them along with bicycles and other possessions on that small space, it’s an accident waiting to happen.

It is mind boggling that anyone is allowed to be a distraction at that very busy spot.

The panhandlers are increasing, most likely because they are not dissuaded in any way.

Oak Harbor does not have the facilities or employment opportunities to put them back on the right track. It’s a disservice to the panhandlers to help them remain victims of their addictions.

If you need to make yourself feel good, give food not money.

OBITUARIES

Foley

Sally E. Foley

Sally E. Foley, age 75, died at Careage of Whidbey in Coupeville, Wash., Dec. 3, 2014.

She was born March 9, 1939, in Portland, Ore., to Charles and Katherine McGinn. Sally was raised in Western Oregon and then moved to Ontario, Ore., where she graduated from high school. At age 16, during a weekend visit to Oregon State in Corvallis with her sister, she met a young student, Roger Foley.

Love blossomed, and on Dec. 28, 1957, Sally and Roger were married.

Roger began active duty service with the U.S. Army and was sent to Ft. Belvoir, Va. This was the first of 32 active

duty station assignments during Roger’s career with the Army. From Ft. Belvoir, they went on to Ft. Bragg, N.C., where son Bryan was born. In 1960, Sally returned to Portland to be with her parents as Roger was sent to Korea and son Dennis was born. Returning stateside, the Foley family returned to Ft. Belvoir. In 1962, the Foleys moved to Vienna, Va., while Roger served at the Pentagon and son Benjamin joined the family.

In 1963, the Foleys received orders to Germany and daughter Shannon was born. Three years later, they returned to the States and Ft. Lewis, Wash. One year later, Roger was ordered to Vietnam and Sally and the children moved to Fruitland, Idaho. In 1968, Benjamin was diagnosed with cancer and Roger was brought back to the States and transferred to Ft. Ord, Calif. Ben was treated and eventually died from his cancer while the family was living at Fort Ord. The next duty station was Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., and then on to Boulder, Colo., where Roger attended graduate school. In 1971, Roger was sent again to Vietnam and the family moved to Boise, Idaho.

ABSOLUTE PEST CONTROL “We Aim To Please”

In 1972, Roger was sent to the Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah, Ga., and then on to Ft. Stewart, Ga., and then back to Ft. Belvoir. During their stay in Georgia, Bryan began his studies at the Citadel.

Roger retired from the Army in 1978 and the family settled in Richland, Wash., where Roger was building a nuclear power plant. From Richland, the family moved to Bellevue, Wash., and then on to Miami, Fla., in 1984. In 1992, Sally moved back to Richland and Roger rejoined her in 1995. In 1996, Sally purchased a home in Coupeville and three years later, this became their permanent home.

Sally was always responsible for coordinating the family moves and gathering the family together and locating housing. She held the family together as they traveled the country. Sally had worked for a time as a counselor and also as a hospice chaplaincy volunteer in Richland. She enjoyed painting and ceramics. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Coupeville.

Sally is survived by her husband, Roger, at the family home; and by her children and their spouses, Bryan and Kelly Foley, of TriCities, Wash., Dennis Foley, of Houston, Texas, and

Shannon and Michael Kogut, of Sultan, Wash.; by one sister, Lillis Hoffer, of Boise, Idaho; and by five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by one son, Benjamin Foley; by one sister, Maryjo, and by one brother, Charles.

Funeral mass for Sally Foley will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Coupeville, with the Rev. Paul Pluth, J.C.L. as celebrant.

A reception for family and friends will follow the mass. Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12, 2014, St. Mary’s. Rites of Interment will follow at Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent, Wash., at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Sally Foley Memorial, c/o Knights of Columbus Charities, P.O. Box 1181, Coupeville, WA 98239.

Hillcrest Elementary to go green in January

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Oak Harbor High School 12th-graders Chris Stolmeier, left, and Taylor Yancey work on pieces for the Teen Art Show in Kit Christopherson’s advanced placement art class Dec. 9. The art show opens 6-8 p.m. Thursday at the Oak Harbor Library.

Oak Harbor Library to host teen art show

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

For teacher Matt Young, the opportunity to show artwork to peers and members of the local community is a thrill.

That exhilaration is something his students from Oak Harbor Middle School will be able to experience this week at the Teen Art Show, hosted by the Oak Harbor Library.

“They love to see their work on the wall with their peers and … different age groups in a public setting,” Young said.

“It’s a tremendous feeling of pride and accomplishment.”

This is the ninth year the Oak Harbor Library is hosting this art show, which features art made by middleand high-school-aged artists, mostly from the schools,

though librarian Anne Murphy says they accept art from other members of the community in that age group, as well.

“It’s just a great way to put the art out there in the community who might not be able to see it otherwise,” Murphy said.

The art show officially opens at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11. The opening night reception lasts two hours and usually sees more than 100 in attendance, according to Murphy.

Wildcat Catering will provide food for the event.

The public is welcome.

With artwork from more than 100 students in the district, there will be a lot to see at the library, including paintings and drawings, as well as ceramics and handmade jewelry.

“It’s been really fun every year, seeing how different the art is,” Murphy said. “The overall quality of the art is really good.”

Jennifer Yates, one of the high school’s art teachers, said that this show is the only one for the semester where the students get share their art with the community.

“They get the opportunity to show their work in a formal setting,” Yates said, “and experience hearing people talk about their work in that environment and experience what it’s like to be a part of an … art opening.”

The Teen Art Show will be available for viewing at the opening night reception 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, at the Oak Harbor Library. The exhibit will also be on display Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Students prepare for book battle

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

North Whidbey Middle School students are preparing for battle.

About 40 students and 15 teachers are teaming up for the school’s Battle of the Books competition, which will culminate in a quiz-show style competition to see which team knows the books on the reading list best.

An extracurricular, after-

school activity, Battle of the Books is being headed by North Whidbey Middle School librarian Anthony Kendrick.

Though the competition has already begun, he said students are able to join at any time.

“I’m never going to tell them ‘no,’” Kendrick said.

Kendrick said Battle of the Books, which is meeting once a month through March, not including the final battle

scheduled for on March 10, gives students a chance to meet new people and participate in a group activity.

“If we start forcing them to read these books, then it’s just not fun anymore,” Kendrick said, “and then they don’t want to read.”

Noelle Boilek, a language arts teacher at the school, is participating in the competition to “support and encourage” her students.

Thanks to an Oak Harbor Education Foundation grant, Hillcrest Elementary is going green.

Last year, the school started a garden, in which students grew fruits and vegetables to donate to the North Whidbey Help House.

Starting in January, the students will begin to compost the food waste they create, as well.

“It will be nice for them to be able to see that their scraps can be turned back into something useful, like soil,” said Tristy Nielsen, a teacher involved in this new effort.

The school was awarded a grant to work toward composting the lunch waste to create soil they will use for their garden. The students will be assigned to collect data on how much waste they produce and the amount of composted soil created.

The grant will fund a cedar composting bin, pete moss to go over the composted soil to prevent smell and pests and a Chromebook to keep track of their collected data on a shared Google Drive.

The school already had

a garden club, which many students participated in through their classes as a requirement, but now there will be a group of eight students on the Green Team.

Those students filled out applications to be on the team, and they will act as go-betweens from the Green Team to the rest of the students.

Wade Applington and Trey Louis are two of the students chosen by their teacher Jodi Crimmins, who is another teacher on the Green Team.

The two were selected because of their responsibility and their ability to communicate, Crimmins said.

“It’s fun that we get to do composting and get more things for our garden,” Louis said.

“I care about all the green trees and plants and the community,” Applington said.

The Green Team has yet to hold its first meeting, but it’s already working on a plan to get started on the project.

“Anything that we meet about, any problems that we have, they’ll help problem solve,” Crimmins said of the students on the Green Team, “and they’ll be the voice of our meetings

back to the students.”

Louis said that composting is important because otherwise, food is put “in the trash. Then it would go into the dumpster.

Then the dumpster would go into the dump, and then it would go into landfills.

“If we compost, (we can grow) more plants and we won’t have as much land fills,” Louis said, “and we also get to grow more than we usually do.”

Applington said that with composted soil, plants are also less likely to die.

“I’m not sure all kids understand that you can compost and make something out of waste that we create,” Nielsen said.

She said that when they started a recycling program, students learned a lot, and she hopes the composting program will do the same.

“They learned what they can recycle and what they can’t recycle, and now they can learn what they can compost and how they can do that without flies and without the smell and without rodents and pests,” Nielsen said.

“They’re going to learn some lifelong lessons, I think.”

Winter is traditionally a special time of year for Oak Harbor artist Tony Turpin, but this is one he doesn’t particularly relish.

Facing the first holiday season in a half century without his wife Elizabeth, who passed away in October, Turpin has decided to get away from Oak Harbor for a month and concentrate on his art in the South Pacific.

He has accepted an artistin-residence assignment aboard a luxury cruise ship, where he’ll teach classes and lecture while also taking some time to reflect.

“This comes along at an opportune time,” Turpin said. “I didn’t want to be around for the holidays in an empty house.”

Turpin, whose paintings have been showcased on Whidbey Island since the mid 1960s, will be aboard the plush Oceania Line MV Marina cruise liner. He departs Valparaiso, Chile, next week and will spend Christmas and New Year’s in the French Polynesian islands.

“It’s not bad work if you can get it,” he said.

The trip is paid and features an artist’s loft in an upper level of the ship.

“It’s really a nice appointed space,” he said.

Turpin has traveled extensively in his life and did an artist-in-residence cruise two years ago in Europe, but those travels were with his wife.

The HUNDRED BUCKS ART SHOW will run through December at Blooms Winery tasting room and art gallery at the Bayview Corner Cash Store. The show features paintings, mixed media, photography, fiber arts, jewelry and more.

All art is priced at $100 or under. www.bloomswinery. com or call 360-321-0515.

The following artists will be available to meet and talk to about their work from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at GARRY OAK GALLERY: photographer KELLY KELLOGG, Saturday, Dec. 13; SANDY DUBPARNELL, Wednesday, Dec. 17; and potter CLOVY TSUCHIYA, Sunday, Dec. 28, and Monday, Dec. 29. www.garryoakgallery.com

Longtime Oak Harbor painter Tony Turpin will be an artist in residence aboard a cruiseship.

Her death came after a long bout with cancer and just shy of a major milestone in their lives.

The Turpins were married Jan. 21, 1965, in the home of a judge in Coupeville on a rainy night, then sped off to Vancouver, B.C., and the Sylvia Hotel for a brief honeymoon because he had

to report back to duty at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

“I have the hotel receipt for the room that night,” Turpin said. “We were planning to go back for our 50th.

“Almost made it.”

Turpin, 76, said he credits so much to his wife in the support and encouragement

of his passion for art. He said he will need to focus more on sales with his drawings and paintings, which are currently on display at the Museo Gallery in Langley.

FANBULANCE

DRAMA CONTINUED FROM A1 the board of commissioners Monday afternoon.

“As of Jan. 1, 2015, I respectfully resign for a number of reasons,” the email states. “I will complete my assigned tasks, but I am done.”

Allan McDougall, president of the board of commissioners, said that if Wolfe makes the resignation official, he would be “pretty upset.”

“I think we need him,” he said.

However, McDougall acknowledged that opinions of the board as a whole are, he thinks, “totally divided.”

McDougall and Commissioner Steve Hoffmire said Wolfe’s recent health issues may be part of the reason he is resigning.

“I think that him battling with his back injury, it has led him to make this decision,” Hoffmire said. “I know his evaluation was coming up this month, and … (in) my opinion, it probably has caused him to stop and … realize that he hasn’t been able to put his heart and soul into it.”

“I believe there’s been some mistakes,” he added, “and I think some of that could be attributed to the fact that he has not been able to put the time that he would like into it.”

Wolfe could not be reached by press time for comment.

In recent months, some board members have raised concerns with Wolfe’s performance, mostly on the issue of the head coach of the North Whidbey Aquatic Club.

paramedic Sherri Brown.

Brown was with her husband, EMT Rob Brown, at their Oak Harbor home when the text came in during halftime and felt a rush when she read the message.

“Richard texted me and said, ‘Is your dad Sam Myers?’” Brown said.

“I just freaked out.”

Myers was at a neighbor’s house in Coupeville watching the game when his daughter broke the news.

She said it took a while before the news registered with her dad, a Seahawks’ fan since the franchise’s inception in 1976.

“I don’t think he’s ever won anything like this before,” she said.

Certainly not a custom green, 2001 Ford-350 diesel

turbo emergency vehicle themed meticulously in Seahawks’ colors, logos and other details inside and out.

He was handed the keys Sunday and drove to the Big Brothers Big Sisters office in Oak Harbor Monday to do more paperwork.

“I didn’t sleep much last night,” Myers said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters put about $15,000 into the project, netting more than $35,000 toward its mission to match children in the community with positive role models.

Several local businesses also donated their services to deck out the vehicle.

Myers invested $40 by purchasing eight tickets just after Thanksgiving.

“I thought it would be neat to have a chance,” he said. “I was thinking that Big Brothers Big Sisters is an outfit I like to donate to.”

Myers has no interest in

selling the rig and plans to keep it stored indoors on the island to keep it out of the weather.

“It’s become a family thing now,” he said.

He admits the little touches particularly appealed to him and joked that he couldn’t ignore a Seahawks calendar autographed by many of the Sea Gals cheerleaders.

Penny Perka, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, said the publicity generated by the fundraiser was especially beneficial to her organization and its cause.

Wallin, who drove the rig to appearances throughout Western Washington, including to Seahawks games, was ecstatic the Fanbulance would remain on Whidbey Island.

“I think it’s so neat,” he said. “We sold tickets all over. We had Canadians come down to the football

game to buy them. The farthest, I think, was down to Chehalis.”

It all started with an idea over the summer when Wallin noticed an ambulance at Whidbey General Hospital was earmarked for salvage and began wondering about other uses.

By sheer coincidence, the ambulance was Unit 12.

“It’s one thing to have ideas,” said Tamra Sipes, board president of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County. “It’s a lot more to have an idea come to fruition. That’s what happened with Ron.”

In August, Wolfe terminated the district’s contract with the former head coach Bill Patterson without board approval, resulting in two special meetings for the board to address the issue.

District bylaws state that the executive director needs board approval to hire or fire district employees.

The termination was eventually approved by the board, and a search committee including Wolfe was formed to find a new head coach.

After the committee conducted interviews, Wolfe presented a boilerplate contract that members of the board rejected, pending revisions. But at the Nov. 20 regular meeting, it came to light that both Wolfe and head coach candidate Dick Taylor had already signed the contract. It was voided by the board’s action.

Finally, in a special meeting held Dec. 3, the revised contract was presented to the board and approved, pending the receipt of the background check materials Wolfe failed to provide the board. He instead gave an oral report of the findings.

Wolfe was asked to provide the background check material to members of the board as soon as possible, after which the commissioners would either allow Wolfe to present the offer to Taylor or call another special meeting to discuss the findings if there were any questions.

A special meeting to discuss the background check material will be held tonight at 7 p.m. at the John Vanderzicht Pool.

Hoffmire said that he has questions not about the findings of the background check, but how extensive the check was.

“It’s not on what’s been found,” Hoffmire said. “It’s just more, I’d like to see a little bit more. … We did not see anything in the background check that led us to think this person has committed a crime or anything like that.”

McDougall said that the most important part of the background check for the district was whether the candidate had a history of sexual offenses, and in that regard, McDougall said, Taylor is “absolutely clean.”

“We have to be over-cautious,” McDougall said at the last special meeting. “That’s what we’re doing: We’re being prudent, and we have to do that formally. Carefully.”

Hoffmire said at the special meeting that the district is still settling lawsuits from 12 years ago due to background checks not being done properly.

The Whidbey News-Times requested a copy of the contract approved at the public meeting Thursday, Dec. 4, and was told it would be sent the next day, but the district failed to provide it. An official public records request was filed Monday, Dec. 8.

Wolfe emailed the newspaper Tuesday and claimed the contract hadn’t been approved and couldn’t be released. He didn’t cite an exemption, as required by law.

Michele Earl-Hubbard, an attorney who is an expert on media law, confirmed that the document is public and should be released.

The News-Times finally received a copy from a commissioner Tuesday afternoon.

Hoffmire said the problem isn’t unique, but that

he’s heard from others who have had problems receiving public documents from the district. Hoffmire said he even submitted a couple of requests himself Nov. 14 and has had issues with the pro-

cess as well. He didn’t receive a response from the district within five days, which is required by law.

“What concerns me most is, the law is very simple when it comes to that,”

Hoffmire said, adding that the district is clearly failing to meet that law.

“I think that, to honor open government, that’s the first step: honoring public record requests.”

CONTINUED FROM A1 Philadelphia Eagles.

Myers didn’t attend the drawing, which was the culmination of a clever fundraiser devised by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County board member Ron Wallin that accounted for more than $50,000 in ticket sales.

And he didn’t answer the initial phone call to notify him that he had won.

But soon after Island County District Court judge Bill Hawkins drew Myers’ ticket out of a basket, one of the fundraiser’s key participants thought he’d recognized the name and started a search of his own.

Richard King, one of only two people permitted to drive the Fanbulance during the fundraiser, sent a text to fellow Whidbey General EMS

FUNDING CONTINUED FROM A1 On Monday, the committee decided to recommend $10,000 to the Oak Harbor Music Festival for bands and re-recommended $17,500 to the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce for a downtown marketing program, according to chairman Councilman Jim Campbell.

Problems that arose over the chamber’s application

were mainly paperwork issues that were quickly resolved, Campbell said.

The committee originally voted against providing the $10,000 to the Music Festival for hiring bands because of the misunderstanding.

Campbell said the chamber hadn’t submitted paperwork specifically for the downtown marketing

program, but the proposal was actually created during a lodging tax committee meeting.

Chamber Director Christine Cribb said she hopes to use the money to create a commercial for TV or Youtube and also market in print media to lure people visiting the marina to downtown.

“The par tnership

between the chamber and downtown merchants is critical to the community,” she said.

All told, the Oak Harbor chamber was the big winner in lodging tax disbursements. The council previously accepted the committee’s recommendation of $100,000 for chamber operations and another $50,000 for marketing.

The council chose not to follow city staff’s recommendation to send an application from the Whidbey Island Marathon back to the

committee for reconsideration, even though several hotel managers urged them to do so. Several council members said they should honor the committee’s recommendation.

Councilman Rick Almberg pointed out that the city has budgeted nearly $128,000 in general funds next year to run the marathon next year.

Councilman Bob Severns explained that he attended the last lodging tax committee meeting and felt the members made their feelings clear.

“I did listen to their concerns about, if we’re going to do this for one, how can we not do it for others,” he said in regard to marathon funding request.

Severns and three other council members voted to send the music festival’s request and the chamber marketing program back to the committee for reconsideration. As Councilwoman Tara Hizon pointed out, it wasn’t because they disagreed with the recommendation, but to clarify information and paperwork.

Music Festival organizers had asked for $10,000 for marketing and $10,000 to pay for bands; the committee originally only recommended the funding for marketing because they didn’t know whether the money could be used for bands, which Finance Director Doug Merriman said is an allowable use.

from 1pm - 9pm Adults $24.95; Children 6-12 $9.95; Ages 5 & under FREE Reservations strongly recommended.

Almberg and Councilwoman Beth Munns voted against the reconsiderations. Almberg said the council shouldn’t be “cherry picking” their favorites.

It’s been an unusually busy and controversial couple of months for the committee members, who have new authority because of a change in state law.

The City Council can no longer change the amount of the grants the committee recommends, but can only approve, disapprove or send each recommendation back to the committee for reconsideration.

Controversy arose after the committee chose not to recommend any funding for marketing the city-owned marathon; committee members said the application from the new race director was incomplete.

Mayor Scott Dudley asked Campbell to recall the committee to reconsider the marathon funding — saying they misunderstood the information — but the majority of members resisted. They said it wasn’t fair to give one applicant another shot.

The marathon had gone through a controversy of its own earlier this year when Dudley replaced the director, a move that upset some council members.

The new recommendations for the music festival and the chamber has to return to the council for final approval.
