The wheels on the bus continue to go ‘round and ‘round at Island Transit. After a year marked by controversy and difficulty, the agency’s staff and board of directors are going full speed ahead with what may turn out to be some major changes later this year. Staff members came up with a plan to restore some of the service that was lost because of surprise budget problems last year. They will hold a series of community meetings to gather public input beginning Monday, Jan. 26. In addition, the five-person board of directors has a new chairman who promises, or at least leans toward, quick action. The new board met last Friday for the first

time this year and adopted an ambitious plan that includes a serious look into charging fares on busses and even a discussion about working with another transit agency to take over service on Camano Island. Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg and Island County commissioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold sat as new members on the board; they replace Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley and commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Aubrey Vaughan. Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, the longtime chairman, said his council hadn’t yet decided who to appoint to the board this year, and there’s a chance someone else will want to serve. Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg has said he hopes to continue on the board. Clay announced that he was stepping down as chairman. He took on the role of director of the agency for months after former director Martha Rose quit last year. “I’ve been board chairman for a long time, and someone else needs to assume the position with all the glory and pay that goes along with it,” he joked. Hannold quickly nominated Almberg as the new chairman. Almberg at first demurred, saying that Sundberg had the “tribal knowlSEE TRANSIT, A15 BEFORE

Fans celebrate ‘miracle’ win for Seahawks By KELLY PANTOLEON Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley expects to have his voice back by the time the Seahawks play in the Super Bowl Feb. 1. Dudley was at the game Sunday with his son, who he flew in from Los Angeles. “We never imagined in our wildest dreams it would end up like this,” Dudley said. He’s not alone. Seattle Seahawks fans across Whidbey Island — and the entire Northwest — are still reeling over the team’s epic comeback in Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Scenes of noisy jubilation played out in homes, restaurants, bars and other gathering places across the island in the final minutes of the game. Ron Wallin, owner of P&L General

Island County is seeking volunteers to help gather the most comprehensive homeless count to date. “We’re expanding the method significantly this year,” said Joanne Pelant, Island County’s housing resource coordinator. Volunteers will be part of the annual pointin-time count of the homeless Thursday, Jan. 29, as part of outreach teams that will connect with the unsheltered homeless. Pelant said she hopes to have at least 20 volunteers to assist in the event. Last year’s count showed that the county had roughly 90 categorized as unsheltered, with 10 sheltered and another 150 that were staying with family or friends temporarily. Federally mandated in 2005, the county has performed the count since 2006 through the Opportunity Council and through Island

Men charged in felony domestic violence cases By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated three allegations of felony-level domestic assaults on South Whidbey in recent months. In the first case, a South Whidbey man is accused of stomping on his girlfriend and fracturing her spine, court documents state. In that case, prosecutors charged 44-year-old Kenneth E. Short, Jr. of Freeland in Island County Superior Court Dec. 19 with assault in the second degree. A deputy responded to a report of a domestic assault on Fish Road Oct. 30. The alleged victim reported that she and her boyfriend, Short, were in a mobile home and he attacked her, the report states. The woman said he threw her to the ground and “stumped her” with his boots on; she was in great pain and had trouble moving, the report states. Doctors at Whidbey General Hospital reported that she suffered a “right L3 transverse fracture.” On Jan. 1, deputies were called to a domestic assault at an apartment in Clinton. A woman reported that her boyfriend, Michael Dirlam, choked her until she couldn’t breathe and punched her in the eye and ribs, according to the deputy’s report. Prosecutors charged

Dirlam in Island County Superior Court Jan. 9 with assault in the second degree, domestic violence. Then on Jan. 7, deputies responded to a report of a domestic assault outside a home in Freeland. The alleged victim reported that her fiancé, Russell Berenda, attacked her inside his truck when they were parked in the driveway. She said Berenda choked her and she couldn’t breathe, so she kicked the windshield out of his truck. After she locked herself in the truck and refused to leave, he broke the windshield of her BMW, the report states. The alleged victim then opened the door. Berenda allegedly dragged her out by the hair, pushed her down so that her face was in the gravel and stole the diamond engagement ring he had given her nine months prior, the report states. During the investigation, Berenda admitted that he had kicked out the window of her car because she had kicked out his truck’s window, the report claims. The deputy wrote that he found the $6,000 ring in Berenda’s front pocket and released it to the woman. Prosecutors charged Berenda in Island County Superior Court Jan. 12 with assault in the second, theft in the first degree and malicious mischief in the second degree,

Chris’ Bakery aims for comeback By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The beloved institution Chris’ Bakery is planning a return to Oak Harbor. Patrick Christensen, who’s family owned the bakery in Seattle and later in Oak Harbor for 50 years, said he plans to be selling baked goods by this summer. “A desire of my heart has been really wanting to come back in with the business one way or another,” Christensen said. Plus, he said he’s had “a little pressure from family and friends.” Chris’ Bakery was first opened in Seattle in 1948 by Christensen’s parents, Chris and Betty, and relocated to Oak Harbor in 1968, operating out of the location that is now Perla’s Oriental for 30 years. Christensen and his father both served in the U.S. Navy. Chris’ closed in 1998. Christensen, who presently lives in Pennsylvania, said he hopes to have a booth at

Holland Happening event in April to reconnect with the community and rent space from an existing business until a suitable retail space can be found. “Even though we can’t get back into the old space, we’re going to bring back some of the old feel of the bakery,” Christensen said. Christensen was encouraged by former Oak Harbor resident Eric Voock, who is one of many who remember the bakery fondly. “I was one of those guys that frequented the bakery when I was a kid,” Voock said. Voock said he and Christensen started talking about the bakery’s re-emergence last year and plans seemed to move forward after that. Having found a career in sales and marketing, Voock is helping Christensen to reestablish the Chris’ brand in Oak Harbor. “There’s a lot of history to the place,” Voock said. “It’s amazing how things are

coming back together with a simple conversation.” Voock and Christensen have created an online presence on Facebook to help spread the word, an effort they said has been successful. In a recent post, Christensen asked, “If you could walk into Chris’ Bakery right now what two items would you purchase?” Nearly 80 people responded, requesting things like a frozen lemon horns, raspberry danishes, sugar cookies and “awesome” Halloween bread.

Needless to say, Chris’ seems to have a faithful following of locals. “This is great news for Oak Harbor,” said Jason McFadyen, lifelong Oak Harbor resident and president of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. “Anyone who has been around here long enough remembers how sad they were when it closed. I specifically remember their maple bars … asking my parents to stop every time we drove by. “If they do reopen, I will be thrilled for our business community — but selfishly, I

really just want a maple bar.” The plan, Christensen said, is to move back to Oak Harbor and to get more involved in the community. He said he believes the bakery was so beloved because of the quality of its products and its role as a community hub. “I’m really enthused and encouraged by the support,” Christensen said. “(The bakery) is for the people to have the sense of community. That’s one of the things I want to do, see what I can do to get involved in some way. Seems like the time is right.”

OH chief attending FBI Academy By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green is spending 10 weeks at the FBI National Academy. When he returns, don’t expect him to act like a special agent. Chances are, he won’t be sporting a black tie and mirrored sunglasses and flipping his ID around town. But he will come back with a head packed full of new insights into running a professional law enforcement agency. Though it won’t exactly be a walk in the park, Green said he sees going through the famous academy at Quantico, Va., as a way to serve the community. “I believe I owe it to the community to be the best trained, the most knowledgeable police chief I can be,” he said. The mission of the academy, which was started in 1935 by the FBI and Department of Justice, is “to support, promote, and enhance the personal and professional development of law enforcement leaders by preparing them for complex, dynamic, and contemporary challenges through innovative techniques, facilitating excellence in education and research, and forging partnerships throughout the world.” Each year only select law enforcement executives from the U.S. and allied countries

are picked to attend the intensive course. Green said one of the reasons he was chosen is because of his college degree, which means he’ll be making masters level courses at the academy. Currently, no other law enforcement officials on the island are graduates of the academy, which Green describes as the “top school” for cops. Undersheriff Kelly Mauck with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said he has been selected to go next year, but it’s not a sure thing. Green said the application process is quite arduous. It can take up to five years and only about 1 to 5 percent of applicants are accepted. The screening process involves visits from FBI agents; Green said city staff, family members and others were interviewed. The academy itself will be even more of a challenge. He will be living in barracks with four other law enforcement officers and spending 10-hour days learning. His courses will cover such topics as conflict resolution, legal issues that impact law enforcement, managing organizational change and leadership. As part of the academy, the “students” will get a chance to meet high profile people from law enforcement community and beyond; in the past, presidents, vice presidents and attorneys general

Ask the Expert

About Memory Care and Alzheimer’s Disease Mary Gould, ED Keys to Caregiving One in four people will be called upon to provide care for someone with memory loss. This deterioration of a person’s ability creates unique challenges and enormous stress for caregivers. Studies have shown that a proactive program of education and support can minimize stress and provide for a healthier environment for the caregiver and the person with memory loss. Here are key steps for caregivers to take: • Get a thorough examination: If Alzheimer’s is diagnosed during a neurological and psychiatric exam, often the test results will identify the areas of retained cognitive ability. This can help caregivers reinforce a person’s remaining abilities.

• Educate yourself: Learn as much as you can about the disease, the latest treatment options and how it affects daily life. Books, videos, articles and seminars provide information about the causes of memory loss and how to cope with the struggles that memory loss brings. • Attend support groups: Find a support group where you feel comfortable. Not only will you receive excellent, practical advice from others who are going through similar struggles, but you will discover that you are not alone in the feelings and challenges that you face. • Treasure each day: You will have good days and bad, but in each there will be something to treasure. Coping with life’s ups and downs helps you to remember to give thanks for all the good things, both past and present, giving us strength for today.

Red Dress Ball benefits women’s heart health By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

have visited the academy, according to Green. Then there’s the “yellow brick road.” As part of a physical fitness regiment, the law enforcement officials are challenged to run the grueling 6.1-mile run on a wooded trail complete with as assortment of obstacles. Before taking the helm at the Oak Harbor Police

Department, Green was an administrative sergeant and a 20-year veteran of the Port Townsend Police Department. He moved to Port Townsend from Los Angeles, where he dealt with the kind of serious crimes that comes with big-city police work. Green said he will return to Oak Harbor March 21.

For the fourth year, the three Soroptimist International groups on Whidbey Island are teaming up to help raise funds and awareness for women’s heart health. The fourth Red Dress Ball is 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Whidbey Gold and Country Club in Oak Harbor. The event will feature a buffet dinner, short educational program about heart health, dessert option and dancing, as well as a raffle. Proceeds from the event will be split evenly among the Oak Harbor, Coupeville and South Whidbey chapters of Soroptimist International, to fund the Heart of a Woman program. That program helps women with screenings for heart disease, paying for both the screenings and, for qualified women, necessary healthcare, according to Marta Page of the Oak Harbor branch. “I think so far since (Heart of a Woman) started, we have helped at least 450 women on the island get heart health screen-

ings,” Page said. The program will educate attendees about heart health in relation to emergency room visits. “It’s to promote heart health for women, because more women die from heart disease than any other disease,” Page said. “(Statistically,) it’s getting better … with education and awareness, so we’d like to continue that.” The chapters have printed 140 tickets for the event, which are available for purchase at the Soroptimist Thrift Store: Upscale Resale, Casual House, from Soroptimist members of any club or by calling Page at 360-675-5999. Ticket cost is $50. “We’d love to have all kinds of people come just to expose them to the program, to let them know that this program is out there,” Page said. “Anyone attending the Red Dress Ball can expect “great good, great fun, a compact program.” “Our goal is to make it a fun evening to raise awareness for women’s heart health issues and to fund our program,” she said.

Bringing space age technology to Earth GUEST COLUMN

By DON C. BRUNELL Designers of the International Space Station (ISS) had to make it self-sustaining because, once aboard, astronauts had no way to get water or discharge sewage and no connection to Earth’s power grids. Today, ISS has abundant power, clean water and breathable air at the right temperature and humidity — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Without such careful water recycling, 40,000 pounds of water from Earth would be required each year to supply just four crewmembers. Bringing that scientific innovation down to Earth has been slow, primarily because we don’t think we need it. We have abundant supplies of fresh water for drinking, agriculture, energy production, recreation and manufacturing the goods we use every day. Practically everything we use and make requires water and energy. For example, it took more than 2,500 gallons of water to make your jeans, and it took another three bathtubs full of water to grow and process the ingredients for your two-eggstoast-coffee breakfast this morning. But finding safe drinking water is becoming a global problem, one that has captured the attention of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The challenges are staggering. Forty percent of the global population lacks bathrooms and another two billion people use facilities that do not safely dispose of human waste. About 1.5 million children die every year from contaminated food and water. In developing countries, half of all hospitalizations are linked to contaminated water and poor sanitation. What’s more, all this puts an economic strain on developing countries. Gates reports that, in India, for example, bad sanitation practices cost nearly $54 billion a year, or 6.4 percent of its GDP. The problem is modern sewage plants are expensive to build and operate. They require electricity from the grid, release water vapor into the atmosphere and often use natural gas to create enough heat to incinerate the wet sludge. As part of its efforts to eradicate life-threatening diseases worldwide, the Gates Foundation has invested in new technology that converts sewage into energy and safe drinking water — a single process that improves sanitation, creates electricity and produces life-saving drinking water. Called the OmniProcessor, the technology is being developed by Janicki Bioenergy in Sedro Woolley. Sewage is about 80 percent water and 20 percent biomass, and the biomass contains more than enough energy to sterilize the water. A test plant uses an innovative blend of steam power and water filtration to convert up to 14 tons of sewage a day into potable water and electricity. SEE BRUNELL, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Impact

MLK’s message may hit close to home

Editor, We do a disservice to Dr. King, and to ourselves, when we commemorate his life and ignore the prophetic message he left behind. Our too-often sanitized remembrance of Dr. King focuses only on his non-violent quest for civil rights. What is being whitewashed from his legacy is his message about violence, war and growing militarism. For some, this message hits too close to home. Dr. King insisted that no significant social problem — wealth inequality, gun violence, racial strife — could be resolved while we remain “a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift.” His words ring true today, given our pressing social needs, crumbling infrastructure and a bloated military budget of $756 billion (more than education, health and human services, and housing and urban development combined). Indeed, Dr. King might feel that we

have suffered the “spiritual death” he warned against. In 1968, during the Vietnam War, Dr. King called our government “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Now we are the world’s largest producer, importer and exporter of arms — and we are waging a perpetual “war on terrorism” with troops, drones and obscene amounts of money contributing to violent conflicts around the globe. A former Iraq veteran and analyst who recently spoke at a meeting sponsored by the Quakers explained that our “war” is not working. Instead, it is creating generations of violent extremists at a terrible human and economic cost. Matt Southworth’s shared experience gave meaning to Dr. King’s words, “Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. … The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken…” How would Dr. King view today’s world? Just read his words. He’d no doubt see our military leaders and the military industrial complex as the tail wagging the dog — shaping policy to

ensure more profitable wars instead of peace and stability. Dr. King would be morally outraged at the practice of torture, the loss of life, the millions of displaced and scattered refugees, and the impacts of warfare training on our own citizens. He’d remind us, “These are the times for real choices and not false ones … when our lives must be placed on the line if our nation is to survive its own folly…” Rick Abraham Greenbank

To the seven staff members of Christopher’s, Chelsea, Jeannie, Emma, David, Sebastian, Bruce and Rick who provided exceptional service that evening also donated their tips from the night to the program, thank you. Entertainment was provided by “Hey Bulldog.” The talented musicians included John Tristao, Larry Mason, Kevin Johnson and sound engineer Mitch Larsen. After dining on an endless supply of mouth-watering food, everyone in attendance danced the night away to fabulous Beatles music. Thank you for donating your evening and talents to our event. Special thanks to Beth Tristao, queen of ticket sales and promotion. Your enthusiasm and energy for making this night a success was contagious.

Orchestra appreciates warm reception

Editor, If you were at the sold-out concert for The Saratoga Orchestra on Sunday the 18th, you know what a glorious time it was. If you were not, well, you were stuck at home watching another boring football game. It has been several years since The Saratoga Orchestra has played in Coupeville, but with the reception and applause received on Sunday, we will return. Spanning music of several hundred years, the orchestra played with a precision and musicality that is rarely heard on this island. To be successful, two things are needed at a concert. The band ... and the audience. You have shown your support for the “arts” on Central Whidbey, and we are grateful. See you at the next concert. Oh, and that boring game that some of you were stuck with — and turned off before the finish, we won. Go Hawks. David Medley Board of Directors The Saratoga Orchestra

Common Sense

Keep safety in mind when walking on road

Editor, On Tuesday, Jan. 13, I was appalled and not just a little scared, for there were people walking along State Highways 525 and 20 at about 5:30 a cost center to a profit center. The operators, whether they be local governments or philanthropic entrepreneurs, would charge for the electricity and water produced by Janicki’s new system. As we have learned from the International Space Station, humans cannot live without water and energy. Worldwide, freshwater demand is rapidly growing; 1.2 billion to 1.7 billion people face water shortages. We need to look at water and energy as the scientists who designed the International Space Station did 15 years ago. Hopefully, through technology being developed by innovative private

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS p.m. going north on the right side of the road in the dark — two different groups around Houston and Race Roads. They weren’t doing anything more than walking, but in dark clothing. Some had backpacks, so they were probably school age. There were only a few, but they were heedless of the traffic bearing down on them from behind. I was taught to walk at night in light-colored clothing or reflective outer wear, carry a flash light, and walk on the opposite shoulder so you face oncoming traffic and can leap out of the way if a car doesn’t see you. These common sense measures haven’t changed in the last 50 years, have they? Don’t get hit from behind without having a chance, please. Parents, mind your children. Ralph Young Ledgewood Beach

Noise

Let’s focus on positives of living near Navy

Editor, My husband and I moved to Oak Harbor in 1957 and started our business, Quinn Glass. Cutting and installing glass were only parts of the work. Taking phone calls was very important. When one of the jets flew over, I politely told the person to hold on as I was not able to hear. We would wait until that jet flew over. We certainly never lost any of our patrons to the “noise” of our wonderful pilots doing their jobs. My advice to the disdainers is: Try to find the positive things to say about living near a military base. Betty Quinn Oak Harbor

Hamming

Henrietta ‘Etta’ Hamming

Henrietta “Etta” Hamming was called home to the Lord Jan. 14, 2015, at the age of 86. Etta was an Oak Harbor native, born here March 2, 1928, to Jake and Jennie (Fakkema) Balda. Etta graduated from Oak Harbor High School. She was a life member of the Oak Harbor Christian Reformed Church, and it was at church that she met a young man, Elmer Hamming. She and Elmer were married in the Christian Reformed Church Sept. 2, 1952, and they celebrated 62 years of marriage this past September. In 1948, Etta was hired as a cashier and bookkeeper for Western Farmers Co-Op. She served in all capacities, including assistant manager and manager before retiring in 1984 with 34 years of service.

Let us help you plan for the decisions you’ll need to make

She was a lifelong supporter of “The Back to God Hour” ministry. She enjoyed needlepoint, painting and various computer games, but her real love was travel. Etta and Elmer enjoyed traveling. They made several trips to Hawaii, visited Australia and New Zealand, took a cruise through the Panama Canal, and spent their winters as “snowbirds.” They pulled their RV south for more than 20 years, enjoying most of the southern U.S. and the warm, dry climate. Etta is survived by her husband, Elmer, and one sister, Jo Balda, both of Oak Harbor, and by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and a large extended family. She was preceded in death by three sisters, Sally Eerkes, Agnes Hamming and Elsie Balda, and one brother, Harry Balda. Family graveside services for Etta will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23, 2015, at Fircrest Cemetery, Oak Harbor. Memorial services will follow at the Oak Harbor Christian Reformed Church with Pastor Randy Beumer officiating. Viewing for family and friends will be held 2-5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22, at Wallin Funeral Home, Oak Harbor. Donations in Etta’s name may be made to the Oak Harbor Christian School Foundation.

Betty C. Brown

Betty C. Brown, 90, went to be with her Lord Jan. 9, 2015. She and her husband Charlie had lived south of Oak Harbor for 26 years, after which they moved to Oregon. Betty had moved to the Bellingham area 15 months before her death. She had just celebrated her 90th birthday. She was born in San Francisco in 1924 and grew up there during the Great Depression. But she had the honor of being one of the first people to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge when it was completed in 1939. Betty was married to Charles G. Brown in 1953, and they were happily married for 58 years. They had lived on the East Coast and the West Coast, but Betty’s heart was always in Jackson, Wyo., where they had lived for seven years. Betty is survived by her two sons, their wives, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Those who knew her were blessed by her kindness, gentleness, peace and love. Betty’s memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at Coupeville Community Bible Church, 502 NE Otis St., Coupeville.

Wildcats blitz Getchell behind Harris’ 36 points By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team got a late start (and leading-scorer Dyllan Harris a later start yet), but the delay didn’t phase the Wildcats as they dumped visiting Marysville Getchell 70-62 Friday, Jan. 16. The Wildcats also hosted Ferndale Monday, Jan. 19, in their final non-league game and fell 82-51. Getchell had problems getting out of Marysville because of bus trouble, pushing the game’s starting time back a half hour. Harris had to wait a little longer. Oak Harbor coach John Weston sat Harris until the beginning of the second quarter after the junior wing missed the previous day of school and practice because of an illness. Once Harris entered the game, he blitzed the Chargers for 36 points. The win was the Wildcats’ second in 12 games and the first in Western Conference action after two losses. Marysville Getchell is 3-10 overall, 0-3 in the Wesco North. Oak Harbor scored the first nine points of the second period, with Harris getting seven, to lead 18-15. Harris added five more points in the quarter, Jake Sturdevant tossed in six and Oak Harbor led 27-25 at halftime. After Marysville Getchell went up 33-30 two minutes into the second half, Oak Harbor (specifically Harris) went on a 10-0 run to take the game’s biggest lead, 40-33. The Chargers fought back and

big boards. Also, Anthony Powell, getting the start, showed a lot of energy.” Fikse finished with 11 rebounds, nine points, three steals and two blocks. Sturdevant grabbed nine rebounds and scored six points. Powell had three steals to go along with three points. “The most impressive thing,” Weston said, “was when Marysville Getchell went up by five or six near the end, we were able to respond. I am proud of how we handled that.” Diangelo McKinney scored eight points, Savion Hollins-Passmore three, Sean Erskine three and Jones two. In the Ferndale game, both coaches, particularly the Golden Eagles’ Monte Walton, used the opportunity to give bench players extended playing time. All 12 Golden Eagles and nine of the 13 Wildcats who played scored. “Being a non-league game, the win wasn’t as important,” Weston said. “Getting better was.” The Wildcats cut a Ferndale eight-point lead to two in the second quarter, then the Golden Eagles steadily pulled away. Harris led all scorers with 20 points. Fikse, Preston Rankin and Erskine all scored six; Christopher Viers had four; Josh Cote and Sturdevant three each; Jones two and McKinney one.

A Charger bucket made it a three-point game, then Zach Jones fed Harris for two points. From there, Oak Harbor hit six of eight free throws (two by Jones, four by Harris) to hold off the Chargers. Both teams spent much of the evening shooting free throws. Oak Harbor sank 22 of 35 (Harris made 12); Getchell was 15 of 22. The Chargers committed 24 fouls and had three players foul out. The Wildcats had 20 fouls with no disqualifications. Weston liked the improvement of his team. “We played with better energy,” he said. “We showed intensity at the defensive end, winning the little battles, doing the little things.” He noted that Harris’ effort on defense led to offensive chances, adding the junior “did a great job coming off the bench and giving us some needed offense.” Harris wasn’t the only star. “We got our best game of the year from our posts, Ben (Fikse) and Jake (Sturdevant),” Weston said. “Ben was huge tonight, grabbed

’Cat wrestlers win 2; girls 10th in tourney By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Oak Harbor High School wrestling team won a pair of thrillers at the PanCan Duals in Renton Friday, Jan. 16. The Wildcats defeated Hazen of Renton 36-26 and Highline of Burien 36-33. The Wildcats girls participated in the BurlingtonEdison Women’s Invitational Saturday, Jan. 17, and finished 10th. The PanCan meet is organized each year by Hazen coach Rory Magana, an Oak Harbor High School graduate. Oak Harbor takes part in support of Magana and his efforts to raise aware-

ness about pancreatic cancer, which claimed the life of his father, Rod Magana, a longtime Oak Harbor resident. The double win was the Wildcats’ “best team effort,” coach Peter Esvelt said. “With (Michael) Lym/ (Christian) Bertram and (Dymond) Piper/(Mark) Johnston having to be ready to wrestle multiple weight classes, we were able to present the best lineup in both matches.” Wildcat winners against Hazen were Aaron Fletcher (120, forfeit), Bertram (126, pin), Piper (145, 8-6), Johnston (152, pin), Nick Dugin (170, 13-4), Martin Powers (182, forfeit) and Tyler Adamson (285, forfeit).

The Hurricanes hit three three-pointers in the fourth quarter (and seven overall) to make a run, but the Wolves weren’t seriously threatened at the end, according to coach Anthony Smith. Aaron Curtin popped in nine points in the last quarter to help stymie any Hurricane comeback hopes. Smith altered his starting lineup for the game, inserting a guard, Risen Johnson, in place of a post, and the addition of speed paid dividends, he said.

Bad 1st quarter sinks Wolves An early long-range attack and hot free-throw shooting from Mount Vernon Christian helped the Hurricanes edge the visiting Coupeville girls basketball team 50-46 Saturday, Jan. 17. Mount Vernon Christian (10-3) bombed away for six three-pointers in the first quarter as it torched the Wolves for a 24-9 lead. After tallying eight field goals in the first period, the Hurricanes added only three more (one in each quarter) the rest of the way. Free throws helped them secure the win, hitting 21 of 31. Conversely, the Wolves didn’t take advantage of their free opportunities, sinking only nine of 25. Coupeville coach David King said they prepared their defense to harass the Hurricane shooters, but the Wolves failed to slow the MVC attack in the opening period. “From then on, the game turned into a very good game,” King said. “We turned things around defensively and slowly crept back into the game.” Coupeville trimmed the lead to 30-21 at the break and then evened the score at 36 heading into the fourth period. Fouls hurt the Wolves in the fourth quarter. Julia Myers fouled out midway through the period, and fellow post Hailey Hammer exited soon after. The game was tied at 41, then the Hurricanes dropped in 12 free throws

Positive focus embodies serious cause Whidbey Relay for Life campaign kicks off with high spirits, big goals

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Ordinarily, it’s Les MacCormick’s role to offer inspiration. A deacon at the Oak Harbor Southern Baptist Church, he embraces the opportunity each spring at the Relay for Life of Whidbey Island to start the event with an opening prayer.

Gordon Klatt, a surgeon from Tacoma, founded the Relay for Life in 1985 and later succumbed to cancer. The 2015 event is dedicated to his vision to end cancer. Last year, MacCormick was the one inspired when he took part in the cancer survivor lap moments after delivering his prayer. A newcomer to cancer, he joined a purple-clad group for a walk around the track at North Whidbey Middle School for one lap and gained strength from those around him. “I liked it,” he said. “Everybody liked me being with them. They like my attitude. They know I’m a jokester.” United in a fight against a deadly disease, MacCormick and others often become involved in Relay for Life to encourage others or simply tap into the positive support and energy around them. Such a vibe was so ever present last week when the Relay for Life of Whidbey Island kicked off its 2015 fundraising campaign at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge with one team member leading others in a hula dance.

About 50 people attended the first monthly rally that leads up to the May 29-30 event that brings communities together in the cause against cancer. One of the biggest sources of positive energy flow came from one of the tiniest people in the room, Mary Brock, who is co-chair of this year’s event along with her husband, Kelly Brock. “Can I count on you?” Mary Brock asked attendees on multiple occasions. Kelly Brock’s sister lost a battle to cancer. The husband and wife team have been a part of the Whidbey event’s organizing committee since 2009. “I couldn’t wait for tonight,” Mary Brock said. “I was so excited because it’s getting it going.” The room was filled with laughter and smiles as highachieving teams from last year were recognized and drawings were held to add fun to the occasion. Focusing on the power of positive thinking and keeping things light-hearted is an intentional tactic and at times a needed distraction for the group fully aware of the serious cause it is tackling. Most everyone in the room had a personal connection to cancer in how it impacted them, a loved one or a friend. “We try to let the community know we’re wrapping our arms around them, too,” Mary Brock said. “We keep it positive.” Although advances continue to be made, particularly in extending survival rates, cancer remains the seconddeadliest disease in the United States, behind heart disease, with some experts expecting it to elevate to No. 1 in the coming years. The American Cancer Society predicts more than 1.5 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2015 in this country and 589,000 Americans are expected to die from the disease this year, or about 1,600 per day. Still, these numbers are an improvement over past years. A recent American Cancer

Society report shows there has been a 22 percent drop in cancer deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades, which translates to about 1.5 million lives saved. MacCormick, 61, considers himself fortunate for catching his cancer early. He said an itchy sore on his nose failed to heal, so he had it checked out and learned it was melanoma. Surgery was scheduled to remove the affected area and doctors used a skin graft to cosmetically repair his nose. Now a year later, follow-up exams have shown no recurrence of cancer. “I was a little scared,” MacCormick said. “I didn’t know how far they would have to go on my nose to get the stuff.

“I was glad they caught it in time. They said it if they didn’t catch it in time, it could have been a lot worse.” MacCormick was invited to join Whidbey General Hospital’s Relay for Life team this year, which brought him to last week’s rally. He retired five years ago from the hospital after working for 23 years as an environmental service technician. Forming teams and fundraising will be the big push at the next rally, from 7-8 p.m., Feb. 11, at the Elks Lodge, Mary Brock said. The goal for this year’s “Island of Hope” campaign is to sign up 81 teams and raise $160,000 for the American Cancer Society. The Whidbey Island event raised $131,381 last year but

has fallen shy of its goal in recent years. The target this year was set by community members who attended a November event, Mary Brock said. Aside from being a fundraiser, Relay for Life also is designed to bring greater awareness to the disease in hopes more lives will be saved through early detection. Gordon Klatt, a colorectal surgeon from Tacoma, came up with the idea in 1985 when he walked and ran the track at the University of Puget Sound for 24 hours to raise money and bring such awareness. Klatt’s idea turned into a global phenomenon, which has led to nearly $5 billion raised toward cancer research. The 2015 Relay for Life

is a sobering reminder that even the fighters with the strongest wills need others to continue the battle against cancer. Klatt was diagnosed with stomach cancer two years ago and died in August from heart failure after a two-year fight against cancer. The 2015 Relay for Life is dedicated to the event’s founder. “He’s the reason for the cause,” Mary Brock said. “To me, it’s more sentimental. “We need to finish his fight.” n To learn more about the Relay for Life of Whidbey Island, go to the American Cancer Society’s website at www.relay.acsevents.org and type Whidbey into the search.

REHABILITATION CENTER 911 21st Street, Anacortes,WA • 360-293-7222 www.sanjuanrehab.com As I was raking the leaves on my property in Friday Harbor. I became very tired and had an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. That wasn’t like me, and I became concerned. I immediately thought of my multiple mini strokes in 2011, after which I became a devote Vegan. I then realized my exhaustion might be a possible heart issue, so I called the cardiologist’s ofﬁce in Mount Vernon requesting an appointment. After I explained my symptoms and reason for the call, the young man on the line calmly told me to hang up and call 911. Before I knew it, the EMT’s were at my door and a helicopter was waiting to medevac me to Skagit Valley Hospital. Dr. Paliwal, Cardiologist, was in the Emergency Department, and he ran a series of tests which determined that I needed to have surgery. They sent me to Providence Hospital in Everett that day. I was introduced to Dr. Joseph Austin, Cardiovascular/Thoracic Surgeon. I had a double bypass with a valve replacement of bovine tissue. I have been at San Juan Rehabilitation center for 3 weeks now, and I am feeling better and gaining my strength every day. I could not have recovered as quickly at home. My progress is the result of the wonderful empathetic staff at San Juan. Speciﬁcally Jason, kitchen staff member, who makes sure that all of meals are within the Vegan guidelines. He comes to my room daily to ask me what I would like to eat and he makes it to perfection. The Therapy Staff are a highly competent, compassionate team as are the Care Partners. As a retired college English teacher, I have devoted my time and energy to writing projects. I am excited to go home and begin writing a 30-minute play based on my experience at San Juan Rehabilitation. I hope to see it come to life in an actors’ workshop.

Feed the Need food drive exceeds 2014 results By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

North Whidbey Help House’s “Feed the Need” food drive was a success Monday with more food items brought in than a year ago. During the annual food drive, about 3,100 items were donated during the five-anda-half-hour collection from grocery stores around Oak

Harbor. More than 50 volunteers participated. One thing different about this year’s Feed the Need drive, according to Jean Wieman, director of the Help House, was a list of items the food bank needed that was delivered to grocery stores. “They kind of knew what we were going to be specifically looking for,” Wieman said. “I think the stores kind

of appreciated that … we told them what we were looking for so they could have it on hand.” Some of the popular items donated were cereal, pasta, rice and peanut butter, all of which were on the list of suggested items. Julia Williams, a human services student at Western Washington University in charge of organizing the vol-

unteers, said help came from military personnel from Fleet Readiness Center Northwest, VAQ-209, VAQ-131, the Naval Hospital Oak Harbor, Naval Ocean Processing Facility Whidbey Island, Brothers in Arms Motorcycle Club and people from Skagit Valley College. High school students who needed to fill their volunteer-hour requirements also helped.

WHIDBEY ISLAND ARTISTS Greeting Cards

“The atmosphere was exciting and contagious, and watching the smallest members of our community participate — the children — that was heartwarming,” Williams said. Wieman said that they collected about 300 more food items than last year’s drive. “It’s always an awesome day,“ Stevens said. “It’s always fun. Everybody that comes and volunteers has great enthusiasm.” Volunteer Jake Hucko, an Oak Harbor High School Student, said that one of the best parts about helping out

was people noticing. “There was a lot of people that said, ‘I’m glad you’re doing it. You’re doing a good job,’” Hucko said. Wieman said special thanks should go to volunteers Fran Stevens and Hap Fakkema, who have helped out every year, all day each time. She also said Williams did “a great job organizing the volunteers.” “The weather was wonderful,” Wieman said. “What more could we ask for? “Beautiful day, great volunteers, great support. Good day.”

North Whidbey Fire and Rescue is adding a familiar vehicle to its fleet. The boat, which will be purchased from the Island County Sheriff’s Office for $16,000, has already been in part-time use by the fire district. Mike Brown, deputy chief of NWFR, said that if they had an emergency marine call, they would often use that boat if the sheriff’s office wasn’t using it. But the sheriff’s office, after getting a $225,000 grant through the Homeland Security Grant Program, will be purchasing a new vessel. Brown said, however, that they couldn’t share the new boat because the grant specifies it has to be “strictly a lawenforcement boat.” “We started considering this purchase as soon as we found out that we weren’t going to be able to share their new boat,” Brown said. The boat they’re purchasing, approximately 20 years old, will be sold along with the trailer, pickup and all electronics except for the law-enforcement radio. “There’s some minor repairs that need to be done on the trailer and some basic upkeep stuff on it,” Brown said. However, the boat itself is in good shape, though it will need to be rinsed thoroughly after being used in saltwater, which can be corrosive. “To replace that boat with a new search and rescue boat is probably anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000,” Brown said. “It’s an older boat, it’s a used boat … it’s probably not necessarily the most opti-

mum boat we can have for marine search and rescue, but it’s something we can use for now until we can get financially capable of replacing it down the road.” Brown said he researched other options for used marine search and rescue boats but that the market is small and the price would be near $100,000. Brown said the hope is they can replace this boat in about five years with a new boat. The price of the boat is a result of appraisals being done to determine its value. Brown said in Tuesday’s NWFR board meeting that the value was estimated at $17,000 to $18,000, and considering the repairs needed for the trailer, $16,000 was determined to be a fair price. Currently being kept in Station 22 on Taylor Road in Oak Harbor, Brown said they hope to be able to keep it in the water from Memorial Day to Labor Day. “Our plan is to keep it in the water at the pier at Cornet Bay during the summer time,” he said, “when we have a lot of marine responses.” The district has another marine search and rescue boat, kept at Station 25 on Heller Road, which is closer to the waterfront in Oak Harbor. This second boat will be used primarily for the northern emergency responses. “We respond a lot to marine search and rescue; it’s something that’s part of our commitment to the community, and it’s just something we’re doing to be able to keep up with that commitment,” Brown said.

CONTINUED FROM A1 edge” to do the job. But the other members, including Sundberg, coaxed him into taking on the job, saying that he has the energy, tough-mindedness and passion to handle the challenge. Even before he was chosen as chairman, Almberg presented the board with a motion to place a series of six issues on the agenda for the March 27 meeting for discussion and possible action. The entire board agreed. The issues are a financial stabilization plan; consideration of new funding sources; review of overlapping bus routes with other transit areas; a review of routes and schedules; consideration of joint ventures with Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and the schools; and a possible change in boundaries of the public transportation benefit area. In an interview, Almberg said he’s pleased that a financial stabilization plan is already in the works, but he would like to see a “real

reserve” similar to what Oak Harbor has. The reserve, he said, should only be used for emergencies and should only be spent with a vote of the majority of the board. Almberg wants to move forward with an analysis of whether it makes financial sense to start charging fares on buses, which have long been fare-free. While the former director claimed it would cost too much to implement, he pointed out that the other agencies in the state find it financially prudent to collect fares. In addition, he said he wanted to explore the idea of changing the district boundaries so that another agency handles Camano Island. He pointed out that latest statistics from Island Transit show that providing bus service on Camano costs $16.57 a rider while it’s $7.26 a rider on Whidbey. Almberg said there’s already some bus service overlap with other agencies on Camano, and one of those agencies might be able to pro-

Island Transit is funded through local sales tax and a combination of state and federal grants. Almberg said he realizes that Camano Island is getting a greater ben-

efit than it’s paying for since Camano doesn’t generate a lot of sales tax dollars, but he said that inequity isn’t his main concern. “It’s all about having the best service for the taxpayers’ dollars,” he said. Also, Almberg said the agency should consider part-

nering with the Navy base and school districts. He’s aware of another transit agency in the state that cooperates with a school district to transport kids. Ken Graska, the interim director, said the staff will gather all the information it can to assist the board in

You couldn’t have written a script for that,” he added. Wallin watched the game from his house, which is lit up with green and blue lights, he said. Oak Harbor City Councilman Rick Almberg watched from home in a room packed with family and friends. At a bleak moment, a friend told him that “it would take a miracle.” And then that miracle happened. “I hugged everyone in the room about three times,” he said. “Maybe more.” John Youngsman Jr. watched the game at Louie-G’s in Oak Harbor, where he’s the manager. Youngsman, part of the Whidbey 12th Fan club, said the turning point of the game was the fake field goal. Katelin Youngsman, John Youngsman’s daughter, said, “You gotta risk it to get the biscuit.” But John Youngsman

said as much as they love the Seahawks, they weren’t sure the team was going to win. He said everyone was screaming. “We were exhausted, crying,” Youngsman said. “I’m not afraid to say I cried.” He said when the win was official, got up and yelled, “Russell Wilson is a champion.” Youngsman’s father, John Sr., is in remission from cancer. He got his sons into the Seahawks and watched the game with them Sunday. John Youngsman Jr. said he was already crying when he saw Russell Wilson crying on TV after the Seahawks had won. “It was a pretty poignant moment for us,” Youngsman said. He said he’ll remember the game forever. Jason Tritt, owner of Flyer’s and Rustica restaurants in Oak Harbor, watched the game with a joyous crowd at Flyers. He said the Seahawks are “a team of destiny.” “We were supposed to be there,” Tritt said. “For whatever reasons, however all that works, it seems like it was meant to be somehow, someway.” Sue Karahalios, whose adult children were at the game, was at home babysitting her 10-month-old

grandson. He fell asleep with about five minutes left in the game, Karahalios said. “I had to remain calm,” she said. She said she was rocking her grandson in a chair and would rock a little faster as the Seahawks started to come back. Then as overtime was finishing, her grandson woke up. “He knows how to ‘yay,’” Karahalios said. “He started to ‘yay.’” Scott Fraser, owner of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway in Oak Harbor, was lucky enough to be at the game. “It felt so right when we got the coin toss,” Fraser said. Fraser said he didn’t leave early as many fans did. “With Seattle, there’s always a chance. If we got the ball back, there was a chance.” As for the mayor, he’s headed to the Super Bowl for the second time in as many years. Like most Seahawks fans, he likes the team’s chances. “I think we’re going to be happy with the end result,” Dudley said. “They’ve got so much heart. I wouldn’t bet against us. This team has something that you can’t really measure with stats. That’s heart. And commitment.”

Nobody is home at a makeshift homeless camp in a Central Whidbey woods Monday afternoon. Island County officials are attempting to count the number of homeless in the county, which can be a daunting task.

COUNT

CONTINUED FROM A1 County as of last year. Pelant said the way they count the homeless has been a process of trial and error. “We were never really satisfied,” Pelant said. “We knew we probably had more. We weren’t real confident within the numbers.” Lisa Clark, with the Opportunity Council, said that they saw a jump in the numbers about three years ago but attributed that to the end of a rapid rehousing program in 2011 and an influx of new faces on the island. Pelant said she anticipates a similar jump in numbers because the count aims to capture more of the homeless population than before. This year, the county will be divided into four regions, Camano Island and North, Central and South Whidbey

Island. Teams will go out with a lead who will coordinate each count. Along with three homeless-centered open houses, the survey will include an expanded definition of homelessness to include additional people who are “doubling up” or living with friends or family. This year’s count will also include a youth initiative which will send volunteers to count the younger homeless in places they hang out. The landscape of homelessness is very different in each region and age group. For instance, Pelant said, the homeless in more rural areas appear to be staying in abandoned structures in wooded areas, whereas the homeless closer to cities are living in tents, cars or with others. In order to prevent dou-

ble counting, names will be entered into the federal Homeless Management Information System and eventually end up in a congressional report, Pelant said. Homeless-related funding issued to states and counties is based on the the counts. The other function of the count and the open houses is to connect people with the services they need, Pelant said. “We want to let people know what’s out there,” Pelant said. “It’s really about connecting and making everybody count,” said Jackie Henderson, the county’s human services director. “We want to hear their stories and know the issues they are dealing with.” Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Pelant at 360-678-7962. The homeless count community events — open to all homeless, potentially homeless or people interested in helping the homeless community — will be held Thursday, Jan. 29 at the following times and locations. n 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Spin Cafe, 658 SE Bayshore Drive in Oak Harbor.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a n d b u y e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
