Woman struck by pickup on Whidbey Ave.

Bridges at Pass to close for summer paving

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A pedestrian was struck crossing East Whidbey Avenue last Thursday morning at the site of a future mid-block crosswalk, according to Oak Harbor police.

Officer Mike Clements said a 25-year-old woman was crossing East Whidbey Avenue near the intersection of Northeast Barron Drive. She was headed toward the Saars Marketplace parking lot.

At the same time, a man was driving a Ford F-350 pickup west on East Whidbey Avenue. He entered the left-turn lane but didn’t see the pedestrian.

Deception Pass Bridge will be closed for five nights this summer while it undergoes paving and bridge maintenance.

Dates for the closures are not yet set, but planners anticipate five 10-hour overnight closures, from about 7-8 p.m. to 5-6 a.m., according to Tom Pearce with the Washington State Department of Transportation communications office.

“We’ll have signs posted,” Pearce said. “We’ll use several methods to reach out to the public to let them know when the closures will be.”

Closure of both Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges are part of a larger paving project running from Frostad Road north to Sharpes Corner in Anacortes.

Pearce said there will only be partial, one-lane closures during the non-bridge road paving portions of the project.

State Trooper Mark Francis said drivers should remember that fines are double in construction zones and they should drive with caution.

The state will put the construction project out for bid next month, a contractor will be selected in March and the entire paving is expected to be completed July through September.

Francis said because conSEE BRIDGE, A12

Parks district appoints interim executive director

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

North Whidbey Park and Recreation District has filled two vacant positions.

On Jan. 22, Dave Smith joined the board of commissioners, filling the seat vacated by Allan McDougall in December, and the aquatics director, Erika Miller, assumed the role of interim executive director.

There were two applicants for the commissioner position, but only Smith was present during the meeting for a brief question-and-answer period.

Commissioner Donna Sue Holly, who joined the board in October, expressed concern over the process of filling the commissioner seat. She asked if the applicants were told they’d be questioned at the board meeting Thursday, stating that when she was applying for the position, she felt the board wouldn’t want her present.

Then-director Gino Wolfe encouraged her to attend the

meeting, during which she and another candidate were interviewed.

Holly said she thought the applicant who wasn’t present for that meeting wasn’t seriously considered for the position because of her absence, and that the board should reach out to applicants and inform them they should attend the meeting if that’s what it took.

“I just think … you should tell people, ‘You should come to the meeting cause we’re going to ask you questions,’ ” Holly said.

Chairman Sean Merrill said that informing the candidates that they should be present at the meeting is something they could do in the future.

“I will dog you about that,” Holly replied.

Holly said she also didn’t receive the application material prior to the meeting and had no chance to review it.

“I think we have a process breakdown,” Commissioner Wendy Shingleton said. “We weren’t automatically sent

Commissioner Steve Hoffmire moved to interview the present Smith for the position.

Asked by Hoffmire why he was interested in joining the board, Smith replied, “this is my community. That’s the reason — it’s my community, and I want to participate in it.”

Shingleton asked Smith

what he brings to the table, and answered that he wants to help the board to build stronger relationships with the city, help write grants and take part in strategic planning and facility safety.

Hoffmire made the motion to appoint Smith to the vacancy, and the board unanimously agreed.

During the same meeting, the board asked Miller to lead the district as its interim director.

After former executive

director Wolfe resigned at the end of December, the board elected to find an interim director to keep the district running while conducting an extended search for a permanent director.

The plan was for the subcommittee consisting of commissioners Hoffmire and Shingleton to approach the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce with their search for an interim director, whom they were hoping would be a community member with experience running a park and recreation district.

Shingleton was unable to attend the chamber luncheon. She moved to appoint the district’s aquatic director as the interim director.

“I believe we are in a position that we need someone in an authoritative position now,” Shingleton said. “We need someone who’s empowered to make decisions now, for many reasons, including the best interest of the pool.

“I believe she (Miller) is the most qualified person that we have.”

Miller has been with the district for three years.

“My strengths are, definitely, I do know the district,” Miller said. “Probably better than a lot of people that are currently on staff. I know the staff, I know a lot of their strengths and weaknesses as well, and I think we can work together as a team to make this place continue to move forward while we’re doing our director search.”

Miller said her weaknesses include not delegating as much as she should, something she will work on, and unfamiliarity with state laws, which she said she will review in depth.

The motion to appoint Miller was passed conditionally, based upon the district’s lawyer reviewing the bylaws of the district to ensure the board is allowed to appoint an interim director.

If confirmed, Miller will retain her title of aquatic director as well, though she would be required to delegate more of those duties to the staff.

After a permanent executive director is found, Miller will return to being the aquatic director for the district.

Patricia Sablan explains to the Oak Harbor School District board members why she would be a good fit as the student representative on the board.

the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, member of Student to Student Club and a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, and volunteers at Hillcrest Elementary School.

“I want to bring out new ideas and concepts for the district on making the school environment better,” Sablan said.

Sablan said that equality and communication are priorities for her.

Asked what she would change about the high school if given the chance, she said that she would work to increase understanding and respectful treatment of others at the school, particularly in regard to bullying.

“Like all three candidates, Patricia has excellent leadership experience, was very articulate and spoke with confidence,” Gibbon said. “What set her apart was her focus on building a positive student culture through communication, respect and understanding, which aligns strongly with our focus as a district.”

Board President Christine Cribb said all of the students were “incredibly good candidates.”

“In the end, (Sablan) expressed a lot of confidence and professionalism and shared a lot about her direction and how she felt she could make a difference,” Cribb said.

Oak Harbor School Board will look a little different after its Jan. 26 meeting.

Student member Reilly Richards served her last day on the board Monday, and high school junior Patricia Sablan takes her place starting Feb. 9.

“I learned a lot about how a board will work, and … public speaking, and learning to think about good questions to ask,” Richards said of her time on the board.

“It was really fun and it was great to meet all the board members and to get to know them.”

“She’s done an amazing job,” said Superintendent Lance Gibbon, “and I think really brought a lot of richness to the conversation of our school board and helped us make some informed decisions, and we’re just very thankful for the time that she’s had with us, and we want to wish her all the best.”

The school board interviewed three candidates to take over as the student member.

They chose Sablan after a brief executive session.

Sablan was a member of student government for three years, starting in eighth grade, and is junior class president at Oak Harbor High School. She is a member of

Skagit County leaders are looking at separating or revising its regional transportation agreement with Island County.

During a series of recent meetings, elected officials from both counties discussed the future of the Skagit-Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization.

Another meeting is set for this week.

While there’s a consensus that Skagit leaders want to make transportation decisions on a county level, Island County leaders said they believe there are advantages to keeping the regional agreement intact.

“I’m a big proponent of the different regions and organizations working together in any way we can to better the services we provide to our communities,” said Island County Commissioner Rick Hannold.

“There’s strength in numbers.”

Established in 1991, the Skagit-Island RTPO was created to assist the two counties in planning regionally for transportation needs, prioritizing projects and distributing state money.

While a course of action has yet to be hammered out, most agree that the organization is outdated, contains redundancies and needs to be revised or eliminated.

“We do need to update it at a minimum,” said Kevin Murphy, executive director of the Skagit Council of Governments. “(The SIRTPO) needs to be modified. They want to continue to plan together but the format of how that’s done may

change.”

Murphy said Skagit County’s conversation started last summer after a series of law changes and the establishment of a Metropolitan Planning Organization. The additional transportation planning board is not currently recognized within the scope of the SIRTPO. To add to this redundancy, a sub-RTPO board exists in both counties, creating a system where construction projects are approved both on a county level and a regional level, Murphy said.

“There’s three governing boards and there’s some overlapping,” Murphy said.

“They make decisions two times so there is an efficiency concern.”

As representatives of the smaller of the two counties, Island County commissioners said they favor of retaining the connection with Skagit but are open to changes to how the RTPO operates.

“Updating methodologies, that seems easy enough to do,” Hannold said.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the two counties share not just transportation, but also commercial and employment interests as well as agencies like the Northwest Agricultural Business Center.

“It’s those relationships that may not be project related,” Price Johnson said. “I know an awful lot more about my entire region because of RTPO so I can do my job better.”

The RTPO carries more clout with Olympia and state agencies as a regional organization, Price-Johnson said.

Commissioner Jill Johnson noted that the connection between the two counties has been mutually beneficial historically.

When the RTPO was first created, Skagit County did not meet the 100,000 population threshold and needed the additional Island County residents to become eligible for the funding, she said. Since that time, Skagit County’s population has risen to 118,837, according to 2013 U.S. Census projections, and Island County’s is 78,801.

“When Skagit County didn’t have 100,000 we were a pretty fine looking dance partner,” Johnson said.

“Now that you have 100,000 people apparently we look good sitting on the wall.”

Lisa Janicki, a newlyelected Skagit County commissioner, said she’s heard anecdotally that RTPO board members from Skagit often “don’t know enough about Oak Harborbased projects to make an intelligent decision” and vice versa.

Todd Carlson, the region’s planning and operations manager for Washington Department of Transportation, said the Skagit-Island RTPO can be restructured to address both local and regional concerns.

“In my own view, 90 percent of things that happen are not that interrelated,” Carlson said. “It’s about planning, it’s about working on things that have regional significance.”

The Island Count SubRTPO’s meets at 11 a.m.

Wednesday, Jan. 28, in the Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.

Hot Rock draws fire for name, logo

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Owners of The Rock Wood Fire Kitchen is demanding that Hot Rock Pizza in Oak Harbor stop using its name and logo.

The western North American chain, with more than 20 stores from Texas to Alaska, operates The Rock under umbrella company Keep Rockin’ LLC. Twelve of the restaurants are in Washington state, according to their website.

“Keep Rockin’ is concerned that your client’s use of so similar a mark for services identical to Keep Rockin’s restaurant services is likely to result in confusion among consumers,” states a letter sent on behalf of Keep Rockin’ LLC

by Seattle law firm Miller Nash Graham & Dunn.

“We therefore demand that you cease and desist your use of the term ‘rock’ and the flame motif virtually identical to our client’s.”

Schwartz said Sunday that he had not spoken yet with Keep Rockin’ representatives, but he was in communication with the Washington Restaurant Association to see if the threat has any teeth.

Schwartz said the initial feedback he’s gotten from the WRA lawyers is positive.

“They’re on crack,” Schwartz

said, referring to the chain restaurant. “You can’t patent the word ‘rock.’”

A phone call to the WRA was not returned by press time.

For the past five years, Hot Rock Pizza has been a regular vendor at farmers markets, festivals and private parties as a wood-fired food truck.

Schwartz said he may have gotten on The Rock’s radar because Hot Rock Pizza was ranked 24th

by King 5’s Best of Western Washington. In addition, if “rock pizza” is Googled, Schwartz’s listing comes in first, The Rock in second.

While the two establishments share the pizza and wood-fired themes, The Rock Wood Fire Kitchen has a more diverse menu with steak, burgers and “Rocktails,” according to its website.

In addition, Schwartz pointed out that he opted for gas-fired ovens in his brick-and-mortar restaurant for permitting reasons. His food truck remains wood-fired.

According to their attorneys, Rockin’ LLC believes the similarities are too great.

“Such confusion is of no benefit to either party,” the attorneys sated in their letter.

Hot Rock will be granted a

Despite the demand, Schwartz said he has no beef with The Rock and has been to eat there twice.

“I like the way they are set up,” Schwartz said. “My pizza’s better though.”

A phone call to Keep Rockin’ lawyers was not returned by press time.

Bridal show returns to Whidbey A bridal show is returning to the Oak Harbor Best Western Plus Harbor Plaza and Conference Center Feb. 21.

The Whidbey Wedding Inspirations Bridal Show will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the hotel, which is located at 33175 State Highway 20.

The show, also held there in 2012, will bring together local wedding vendors and businesses in one central location with the hopes of inspiring more Whidbey Island weddings.

Future brides and grooms will be able to talk to vendors directly to help them plan weddings and gain insight into what island vendors have to offer.

Attendees will come with quotes, samples and door prizes, and caterers will provide food to sample.

Vendors will include florists, deejays, photographers, wine companies and others.

Rite Aid’s purchase of Freeland drug store finalized

By JUSTIN BURNETT Whibey News Group

The national drug store chain has been in the process of purchasing the longtime and locally owned South Whidbey pharmacy for months, and the acquisition wrapped up this month when operations formally changed hands. Wasting no time, the old Linds sign came down that very afternoon and a new Rite Aid sign went up.

“It was official as of Friday (Jan. 16)” confirmed Ron Lind, a former owner of the pharmacy.

The deal was limited to the pharmacy and certain parts of the retail element of the Freeland store, including health products, cosmetics and various other retail goods. A

sale price was not disclosed.

The rest of Saratoga Enterprises, which now encompasses Linds Jewelry and Linds Coupeville Pharmacy, remain under local ownership, of which Lind and his wife Pam have the controlling shares.

The Coupeville location was available for purchase, but Lind said Rite Aid passed due to its smaller size.

According to Lind, about 20 employees — 90 percent of pharmacy employees — were retained by Rite Aid. Those who were not either decided to retire or found other positions, he said.

The prescription side of the Lind business was sold largely because of economic pressures facing independent pharmacists,

namely mail-order houses and pharmaceutical insurance companies. They’ve made it increasingly difficult for small and privately owned pharmacists to compete.

It was for similar reasons that the Linds pharmacy in Langley closed in 2009, Lind said.

“We’ve already experienced this to certain degree,” said Lind, referring to the Langley store’s closure.

When the Freeland pharmacy went up for sale, four massive chains responded: Walgreens, 8,200 stores; CVS, 7,600 locations; Rite Aid with 4,600 stores; and Bartell Drugs, a state chain with about 60 locations throughout the Puget Sound area.

It’s unclear why Rite Aid was selected,

but Lind said that as the partnership was established he found them to be fair and cooperative.

According to its website, Rite Aid employs roughly 89,000 associates. It’s publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RAD, and is a Fortune 500 company.

Requests to interview the store’s new manager were declined, and a call to the corporation’s communications office was not returned by press time last week.

While the deal limits Linds from selling competing products, such as cosmetics and health products, Linds retail element is reopening in the adjacent commercial space that was previously occupied only by the jewelry store.

Land Trust will buy $1 million property

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

More than 2,000 feet of shoreline, 33 acres of forest and wetlands, and 26 acres of beach and tidelands on South Whidbey will be protected thanks to, in part, a $1 million federal grant awarded this month.

The property was a high priority for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, which has long wanted to protect and restore the old Waterman Mill property along Possession Sound, according to Pat Powell, executive director for the Land Trust.

Eroding cliffs on the property, prone to major and minor landslides, may have posed a safety issue if developed, Powell said. “The bluff will be allowed to erode naturally.”

“You want that.”

Hikers explore a property at Possession Point. The Whidbey Camano Land Trust recently received $1 million, which will enable it to purchase and protect the shoreline property.

Abutting land already owned by the Land Trust, the property will then connect, except for a small private property, to more than 10,000 feet of public tidelands, reaching all the way to Sandy Point near Langley, according to a Land Trust press release.

The largely vegetative shoreline is filled with natural ecosystems that can help keep the bluff as stable as possible, Powell said. A county road, now used as a walking and biking trail, will be

retained for that purpose.

The property is not purchased yet but will be around the summer, according to Powell.

Other project highlights include noxious weed removal and interpretive signs outlining shoreline process and its history as the historic Waterman Mill.

Debra Waterman, one of the landowners, recalled that “wood chips from our family’s sawmill in Langley were trucked to the property and

funneled down the bluffs to barges” that took the chips to the mainland, according to the news release.

“No longer in operation, the property now provides rich habitat for wildlife and a place for public enjoyment,” the news release said.

Danielle Ridout, land protection specialist, said the property earned national attention as one of only 25 properties to receive the highly competitive grant nationally.

Island County board meetings move to Tuesday

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Island County commissioners officially voted Monday to switch regular commission meetings from Mondays to Tuesday starting next week.

The move was made in efforts to allow commissioners time to prepare for the voting meetings on Mondays and align them with what other official boards are doing in the area, according to Commissioner Jill Johnson.

Work sessions will continue to be held on Wednesdays starting at 9 a.m.

Commissioner Rick Hannold said he has gotten good feedback from constituents about the change, saying Monday morning meetings can sometimes “slip their minds” and that Tuesday meetings will allow for better attendance.

“The public seems to think it’s a good idea,” Hannold said.

In addition, the change will give commissioners “more time to prepare” and will provide for a “less stressful” Monday, Hannold said.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson agreed that the new meeting day will increase public access and will provide Mondays for reviewing the agenda and asking questions of commissioners and staff.

Commissioners will cease to hold a regular evening meeting the fourth Monday of each month.

All meetings will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday. However, for issues or decisions that draw a lot of public interest, night meetings can be scheduled as needed.

The next board meeting will be held at 10 a.m.

Tuesday, Feb. 3.

Housing program hearing slated Public input will collected on a block grant application that would help Island County develop a housing assistance program.

The public hearing was set by the board for 10:15 a.m.

Tuesday, Feb. 3.

After public comment, commissioners will have the option to authorize the submission of an application to the state Department of Commerce to request $24,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to plan and coordinate development of a coordinated entry program and housing resource center.

The aim of the program is to “minimize displacement” as well as “assist persons actually displaced” in coordination with other Block Grant-funded programs, according to county documents.

OUR VIEWPOINT

PBY Catalina an integral piece of Whidbey history A behemoth from Oak Harbor’s recent history inched through the city’s dark streets just after midnight Saturday.

The PBY Memorial Foundation moved the PBY Catalina, a giant World War II-era seaplane, from the Navy Seaplane Base to a new location across from the PBYNaval Air Museum on Pioneer Way. Hopefully, the impressive aircraft will lure plenty of people to the museum, where they can learn about the roles the aircraft, Seaplane Base and personnel stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station served during WWII. It’s a fascinating history of danger, bravery, hard work and, in some cases, the ultimate sacrifice.

Squadrons of PBY Catalinas flew from the Seaplane Base, starting in December 1942 when Lt. J.A. Morrison brought in the first PBY. These squadrons flew to Alaska locations such as Dutch Harbor, Cold Bay, Umnak, Nazan Bay, Adak, Amchitka, Shemya and Attu, according to historical background from the Whidbey Patrol Squadron Memorial.

Imagine what it must have been like when the big flying boats took off and landed at the base 70 years ago.

NAS Whidbey’s base guide describes the PBYs taking off “with a churning of water and a roar of engines for their practice runs in Saratoga Passage, then returned, skimming the hill above the hangar and settling into the bay to repeat the maneuver.”

This particular aircraft was named Gerral’s Girl, which was shortened to GiGi, in honor of former base Commanding Officer Gerral David, who helped to bring it here.

Volunteers’ research later revealed that the aircraft’s original nickname during the war was Radar Rachel and had an image of a young woman painted on its nose.

The museum covers a lot of ground beyond the PBYs and includes exhibits on all the other aircraft that once flew on Whidbey Island.

The best part of the PBY museum is that the history it contains is alive. You can meet volunteers who were stationed here decades ago and have first-hand knowledge of the aircraft and people of the past.

The stories they have to tell are the stories of Oak Harbor.

Response to incident was above and beyond Editor, On Saturday, Jan. 24, I had the misfortune of capsizing my canoe in Oak Harbor. I was unable to re-board on my own.

The water was, of course, very cold, and what might have been a tragedy was averted by fast and effective response by bystanders, a boater and local police, fire department and emergency personnel, as well as a number of civilian bystanders.

The assistance not only included my rescue, but extended to loading my canoe onto my car, wrapping me in blankets and offering me a ride to medical help, and even a police followup a few hours later to confirm that I was all right.

I apologize for not catching any names, but I want to sincerely thank all of you for your badly needed assistance.

The helpfulness and fine community spirit of Oak Harbor was amply demonstrated in this incident.

Once again, thank you all.

Bob Pinnell Oak Harbor

Response

Tell your reps that you support the Navy Editor, After reading Ms. Attwood’s letter in the Jan. 24 Whidbey News-Times, I felt the need to know where her “facts” were obtained.

To begin with, the Growler is not the loudest jet. That distinction belongs to the F-35 fighter, as it has the most powerful engine in an aircraft to date. I would also like to see all of this devastation these planes are causing, as I have not seen anything in our local news broadcasts proclaiming vast destruction.

The Navy, like all the rest of the armed forces, have been instructed to save money, and if they can save $5 million and reduce flight time by 45 minutes, I would think that this is a good thing, and any time a warrior can spend an extra 45 minutes with their loved ones is an added bonus.

If the Navy has estimated flights at

260 days per year at 8-16 hours a day, that does not mean they will be constantly in the air over the Olympics. All that means is, if needed, the window is open.

If the Navy states that they will be flying at 10,000 AGL — above ground level — they will be at 10,000 AGL. Where is your proof that they will fly lower? As far as instantaneous hearing loss, this could occur if you were standing next to the jet at takeoff with no hearing protection. Even with hearing protection, it is loud; this comes from personal experience.

As far as convenience goes, see my above statement. Simulator training is good and being used more; however, tactical jets are not airliners and simulated combat flying is nowhere near what real-world flying is.

I have read the EIS Attwood references and could not find in it any statement about “ ‘taking’ thousands of fish and marine mammals.” I did read what kind of protections they will be using.

And if her statement were true, we should see dead fish and mammals all over our beaches.

Her last statement brings up the yellow journalism report of Dahr Jamal SEE LETTERS, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

that I refuted in an earlier letter. If everything in that report were true, we would not have cellphones or even in some cases radio.

All in all, it is quite clear that Ms. Attwood and her cronies want nothing more than the Navy to leave the Northwest, not just NAS Whidbey. The people like her that think the military and its training are unneeded in this day and age, or it should be done somewhere else, well, there were people like her who convinced our government the same thing at the end of WWI. And you saw what that got us.

If you support the Navy, I implore you to write your representatives and let them know the voices of a few are not the feelings of the many.

Mike Van Voorst Oak Harbor

COER

Replace leaders, don’t focus on the airplanes Editor, To all of the concerned Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve and all other noise complainers, you are looking in the wrong direction. You had better start directing your energy toward replacing the inept government we have instead of getting rid of airplanes.

If we don’t get our heads out of the sand and start voting some of these career politicians out of office, you won’t need to concern yourself with airplane noise, because they will get rid of our military completely.

And whomever they sell the rest of the country to won’t care about any of your complaints.

It’s time to turn things around and get back to the government working for the people and not the people working for the government.

It amazes me that the top job in our country, the president, has term limits and yet every congressman and senator just needs to get elected one time and we own them for the rest of time, along with their families.

Let’s all get out and exercise our Constitutional right to vote for whom we want to represent us and get rid of the “good old boys club.” Let’s impose

term limits on all of them so we can get fresh blood and ideas once in a while instead of the same old “Let’s pass it then read it” mentality that this current group seems to suffer from.

And lastly, anyone who has ever opened their eyes in the morning and not stopped to say “thank you” to all of our service men and women for being able to get out of bed and do whatever you choose with your life because they are out there doing what they do best to give you that right and freedom.

Thank you to all the military personnel past, present and future. Keep up the good work.

Dick Johnson Coupeville

PBY move

Community spirit alive and well in Oak Harbor Editor, This past weekend the PBY Memorial Foundation’s PBY-5A Catalina aircraft moved from Whidbey Island Naval Air Sation’s Seaplane Base to a new aircraft display area across from the PBY-Naval Air Museum on Southeast Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor.

This unique community event culminated from months of planning and cooperation among a broad cross-section of North Whidbey communities and thousands of hours of volunteer time preparing for and executing the move.

As our plane moved along Oak Harbor’s streets during the foggy wee hours Sunday morning, the sense of “community” was palpable among volunteers and spectators. Talk to anyone who was there, I am sure that they will tell you that it was a special once-in-alifetime event.

Space limits this letter to a simple listing of government agencies, organizations, businesses and military commands to whom we are deeply indebted and grateful for their support in making this experience possible.

Government and military entities included the Oak Harbor Fire Department, Oak Harbor Streets Department, Oak Harbor Police Department, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, NAS Whidbey, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10 Squadrons,

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS Electronic Attack Wing U.S. Pacific Fleet Squadrons, Naval Facilities Command Northwest, and Naval Shipyard Bremerton.

Major financial support was provided by Island Thrift and the Confidence Foundation of South Pasadena, Calif.

Materials and services were provided by many businesses, including Concrete Nor’West, ACE Hardware of Oak Harbor, McDonalds of Oak Harbor, Faber Cranes, LLC of Mount Vernon, Diamond Rentals, Relentless Publishing, Frontier Communications, Puget Sound Energy, Wells Fargo Bank Pioneer Way branch, Doran Fencing, Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle, Captured Moments, Whidbey Moving and Storage, Honeymoon Bay Coffee, and Mariners Haven.

Finally, there are the dedicated volunteers who unselfishly gave their time and energy to make a dream reality. If you are interested in volunteer work, it is hard to imagine a more hardworking and fun group to join.

People like them are the heart of any community and, in turn, they give our community heart. Check them out at the PBY-Naval Air Museum.

Wil Shellenberger, president PBY Memorial Foundation

Offer support

New IT board is a breath of fresh air Editor, I attended the most recent meeting of Island Transit’s board of directors, held Jan. 16.

It was a breath of fresh air.

With three new board members, Island County commissioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold and Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg, the meeting ran smoothly.

There is a new chairman of the board as well as a new secretary.

Public comments were treated with respect. Good questions were asked, and there was no pretense of any ubermensch by the board.

If we are to dig ourselves out of the mess left by Martha Rose, it can happen with this new board. Let’s give them the support they need.

Chelle Brunke Freeland

Here’s what was happening this week : 100 years ago:

n Mrs. W.H. Bartlett, a widow who lived near Oak Harbor, started a fire in her stove after having been out. After the fire had gained some headway, suddenly the stove blew to pieces with a loud noise and she narrowly escaped serious injury. After an investigation of the remains of the stove, it appeared that either a stick of dynamite or powder had been inserted into the stove. About two weeks after that incident, Mrs. Bartlett was entertaining Mr. Perry and Miss Florence at dinner when Miss Florence said the coffee had a strange taste. They thought nothing of it until Mr. Perry and Mrs. Bartlett became very ill.

Being suspicious after this second seeming attempt to do her injury, Mrs. Bartlett went to Seattle. In the meantime, a small portion of the coffee was sent to a well-known chemist in Seattle and results from testing showed that the liquid contained unmistakable evidence that it was “doped” with arsenic. Mrs. Bartlett said she feared for her life and was staying in Seattle until the matter cleared up. n An earthquake in Italy resulted in the death of 12,000 people and injury to possibly 20,000. The shock was the strongest Rome had felt in more than 100 years. The town of Avezzano, 63 miles east of Rome, had been leveled to the ground. The obelisk in St. Peter’s square was shaken and badly damaged. The statue of St. John Lateran and the statues of the apostles surmounting the Basilica were in danger of collapse.

The famous colonade decorating the dome of the church of St. Charles Catinari was cracked.

75 years ago:

n The Keystone ferry landing was the scene of a sinister murder mystery complete with inexplicable footprints, multiple discharged rifle cartridges, a mysterious trail of blood more than 100 feet long, the remains of a wild orgy and even a missing corpus delicti. Neighbors reported seeing a mysterious bonfire on the beach the night of the murder. Sheriff Thomas Clark examined the scene and sent samples of hair and blood to be analyzed. Partial analysis led the analyzer to believe the remains may have been human. Clark then sent blood and hair samples to the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. The murder mystery rapidly approached a crescendo of excitement until Dick Wanamaker confessed that he had shot his cow dog. The culprit, however, refused to admit any complicity concerning the beer cans and bonfire. n Following a radio broadcast of their descriptions, two runaway Anacortes youths were located on the Ralph Freund farm in Oak Harbor by Sheriff Tommy Clark. The boys, George Pinneo and Ray Burich, were reported missing by their parents.

After arriving on the island, they asked for work at the Freund farm, and Mr. Freund offered to give them a few days’ employment.

50 years ago:

n Terry Emmett, a 1964 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, sat under a shower for 48 continuous hours, breaking the previous national record of 33 hours, 33 minutes. Emmett and a friend at the University of Washington covered their skin in grease so it wouldn’t dry out and brought chairs to sit on. n Outgoing Coupeville Chamber of Commerce President Charrison Lockaby literally handed a peace pipe to incoming President Ted Christensen. The pipe was used because they didn’t have a gavel and it looked more like a gavel than anything else they had.

25 years ago:

n An A-6 bomber crashed on takeoff at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, injuring both crewmen. The pilot and bombardier-navigator were both ejected as the plane listed off from the NAS Widbey airfield. The aircraft then bounced down, skidded on the runway and caught fire. n The Oak Harbor City Council set a public hearing to determine how people felt about possible commercial development at the Oak Harbor Marina. n After 26 years in the Navy, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Commander Capt. Barry Sehlin retired. He passed the command of the air station to Capt. David Waggoner. n County commissioners met on South Whidbey for the first time ever as an official body. A law approved the year before allowed county commissioners to officially meet away from the county seat.

Wildcats 3rd, Vester 1st at Lynden Tournament

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Oak Harbor High School wrestling team placed third, thanks to an individual title by Jeremy Vester and five other top-three finishes, in the 18-team Lynden Tournament Saturday, Jan. 24.

The Wildcats also lost a Wesco dual match 53-19 to first-place Everett Friday, Jan. 23.

In addition Vester’s title at 138 pounds at Lynden, Dymond Piper (145) and Mark Johnston (152) placed second and Christian Bertram (126) finished third.

Oak Harbor placed three in the top five at 285 pounds. Jackson Constant and Sam Zook tied for third, and Tyler Adamson (285) placed fifth, losing the match for third to teammate Zook.

“We are blessed and cursed with three wrestlers at 285, all three of which could make it to state, but we

are allowed only two in post-season tournaments,” coach Peter Esvelt said.

Glacier Peak captured the team title with 211.5 points. Snohomish was next with 181, followed by Oak Harbor with 151.5. The Wildcats did not enter wrestlers in three weight classes.

Esvelt said Vester “wrestled great, pinning in the finals.”

He added that Piper is “continuing to get better and better” and Nick Dugin (160) and Zack Aketch (145) “wrestled well, showed improvement.”

Against Everett (10-1), Bertram (126, pin, :37), Vester (138, 13-4), Johnston (152, 6-1) and Constant (285, pin. :09) all won.

“We are showing growing pains (with a young team),” Esvelt said.

Oak Harbor (6-5) wraps up the regular season by hosting Marysville Getchell (4-7) at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Jan. 29.

PREP ROUNDUP Wolves whip PT for important win “Every game is a playoff game for us,” Coupeville High School boys basketball coach Anthony Smith said after the Wolves’ 53-49 win over visiting Port Townsend Friday, Jan. 23.

Once Coupeville dropped its first three league games, Smith said, the Wolves had to adopt an attitude that every game was like a loser-out playoff game if they wanted to reach the postseason.

Coupeville is now tied with Port Townsend for third in the Olympic League 1A division standings. The top three teams move on to the district tournament.

The Wolves (1-3, 5-9) go to Klahowya (3-1, 4-10) at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30.

Last Friday’s game with Port Townsend was a backand-forth affair, with the Redhawks leading 42-41 after three quarters.

Coupeville went up 47-44, then PT took a 49-47 lead with 40 seconds left.

C.J. Smith tied the game with 10 seconds remaining and was fouled on the play.

He missed the free throw, but Joel Walstad grabbed the rebound and was fouled.

The senior calmly sank both foul shots to put Coupeville up 51-49 with eight seconds remaining.

pleting the scoring.

Coach Smith praised the play of his bench, which “kept us in it because of fouls.”

Hesselgrave, Coupeville’s leading scorer, recorded two quick fouls and played only two minutes in the first

half. C.J. Smith stepped in and tallied 11 points. Hesselgrave finished with 10.

Walstad pumped in a season-best 17 points; Aaron Trumbull had four; and Ryan Griggs, Matt Shank and Risen Johnson added two each.

Halftime adjustments helped the Coupeville High School girls basketball team to a 58-35 win at Port Townsend Friday, Jan. 23.

The win lifted Coupeville’s Olympic League record to 4-0 (10-5 overall). The Wolves travel to second-place Klahowya (3-1, 3-10) at 4:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30.

The turning point of the Port Townsend game came in the third quarter.

“The players took to heart what we needed to fix coming out for the third,” coach David King said.

The Wolves, who were forced to use a zone defense much of the first half because of foul issues, returned to a man-to-man in the third period, resulting in steals and fast breaks.

“Players were flying around, anticipating passes and tipping or stealing them,” King said.

Coupeville also took advantage of its height in the post, and Julia Myers led the offense with eight points in the period as the Wolves outscored the Red Hawks 22-8 and led 47-27 heading into the fourth quarter.

Hailey Hammer scored four points and Coupeville

led 9-7 after one quarter.

The Red Hawks jumped ahead 13-11, then the Wolves received a spark from Monica Vidoni. With Myers and leading-scorer Makana Stone in foul trouble, Vidoni picked up the slack with eight secondquarter points, including two three-point plays. One was set up by a nice feed from McKenzie Bailey.

When the game resumed in the third quarter, the Wolves began to roll, then “the fourth belonged to Stone,” according to King.

The junior scored nine points to put any PT comeback hopes on hold. One of Stone’s baskets came off a “sweet” pass from Hammer, according to King.

The game was “rough” and “ugly,” King said, and the winless Redhawks (0-4, 0-14) “came ready to play and showed no fear.”

Stone, who missed much of the game because of foul trouble, still posted 20 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Kacie Kiel added two points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals.

Hammer had eight points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks.

Madeline Strasburg registered five points and four assists.

Myers finished with 12 points, Vidoni eight, Mia Littlejohn two and Kailey Kellner one.

Cold shooting leads to ’Cat loss After a frigid first half, the

Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team made a run at host Everett Friday, Jan. 23, before falling 43-26.

The Wildcats sank only two of 24 shots in the opening half and trailed 14-6 at the break. The deficit grew to 13, 26-13, heading into the fourth quarter.

Oak Harbor finally pried the lid off the hoop in the last period and went on a 10-0 run to slice the gap to five, 31-26. The Seagulls (3-2, 7-8), however, recovered and ended the game on a 12-0 spurt to wrap up the Wesco North win.

“We played well in the first and fourth (but) just couldn’t get shots to go down,” coach Jon Atkins said. “If we can start hitting some shots in the first half, we will be looking good.”

Julie Jansen (eight points), Rashanna Graham (six) and Jinai Guzman (four) combined to shoot 45 percent, going 9-for-20. Their teammates struggled, draining just two of 28.

Bryn Langrock, who connected on three of four free throws and a three-pointer, had six points and Hayley Lundstrom added two.

Jansen finished with a strong all-around game, grabbing 10 rebounds and three steals. Lundstrom and AnnaBelle Whitefoot collected five rebounds each.

Oak Harbor (1-4, 2-13) plays the Wesco North’s top two teams this week.

First it heads to Stanwood (5-1, 13-3) at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, and then hosts Arlington (5-0, 13-2) at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan.30.

Oak Harbor aligns with new sister city Committee shifts focus to village of Santa Rita in the Philippines

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Oak Harbor has picked a new sister city from the Philippines.

Except, it’s not exactly a city.

Santa Rita was selected after attempts to form such a relationship with original choice, Libungan, never gained traction, said Bob Wall, chairman of a committee that was formed to bring a sister city to Oak Harbor.

Santa Rita is the largest of 17 barangays inside Olongapo City in the province of Zambales. “Barangay” is the native Filipino term for a village or district.

However, Santa Rita’s smaller size and connections to Oak Harbor made it a good fit as a sister city, Wall said.

The committee voted to approve Santa Rita, and the City of Oak Harbor is behind the effort.

“We’re excited,” Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said. “I think we can do a lot.

Not only can we do some cultural exchange and educate those not aware of Santa Rita, they have some needs we can also fulfill from a humanitarian standpoint.

“I look forward to eventually traveling there and finding

out more and see what we can do to start that relationship.”

Like Libungan, Santa Rita was picked in recognition of Oak Harbor’s large Filipino community and ties to the Philippine islands.

At least two of the committee members are from the Philippines, with one having lived near Santa Rita.

The village, located on the island of Luzon, also carries military connections as Olongapo City was the longtime site of a U.S. Navy base at Subic Bay. “I got married there. That’s where I met my husband,” said Geline Cardwell, a sister city committee member and Oak Harbor resident who’s from San Marceliono, a city that is less than a half-hour drive from Santa Rita.

Cardwell, a member of the Rotary Club of Oak Harbor, got involved with the committee after being invited to a meeting. When attempts to reach contacts in Libungan were unsuccessful, she suggested Santa Rita as a choice for Oak Harbor’s sister city.

Cardwell has connections to Santa Rita and sees similarities to Oak Harbor, particularly with the former military base in the vicinity. After it was closed in 1992, U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay was convert-

“Geline is going to be our point person on the structure of the sister city,” Wall said.

“Usually, you have one person who is the point person for that city.”

Wall also is hopeful that

Oak Harbor will at some point be able to offer humanitarian support to Santa Rita, which has been hit hard by typhoons in recent years.

The area is no stranger to catastrophic events as Mount Pinatubo, just 20 miles away from Subic Bay, erupted in 1991, killing 847 people.

That was the same year Cardwell came to the United States.

“It was good timing when I left,” she said.

Even though it is considered a district within a city, Santa Rita’s population is about 40,000 — nearly double that of Oak Harbor (22,000).

Olongapo City has a population of about 221,000 and already is affiliated with five sister cities, including Bremerton.

“I don’t know how the barangay business is all structured,” Wall said. “I don’t SEE SANTA RITA, A11

Land trust seeks more calendar photos

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

As with other scenic locations, Whidbey and Camano islands don’t lack photo possibilities.

Nor do the islands lack photographers enamored with capturing such scenes.

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust is offering another opportunity for photographers to share their best work in their second annual photo contest.

A panel will select the top 13 submissions, among others, to be presented in the 2016 land trust calendar.

Approximately 300 photos

were submitted from about 80 individuals for consideration for the 2015 calendar.

“Just when you do anything the first year, you learn how to do it better,” said Janelle Castro, communications and outreach manager for the land trust. “I am really trying to emphasize to people to follow the photo requirements. That’s very important.”

Among the guidelines, each photographer is asked to send no more than five images, which must be horizontally shaped and a large enough file size to allow the photo to be enlarged.

Photographs must be

taken outdoors on Whidbey or Camano islands, but not necessarily on land trust properties, and should reflect the sort of unique features on the islands the land trust works to protect, Castro said.

The land trust’s mission is “to actively involve the community in protecting, restoring and appreciating the important natural habitats and resource lands that support the diversity of life on our islands and in the waters of Puget Sound.”

Capturing such images for the calendar is the goal and not necessarily with just scenic landscapes.

“I would love to have more pictures with people in them, of people recreating, of people farming, people on their land,” Castro said.

Deadline for entries is May 1.

Photos may be sent electronically to landtrustphoto contest@gmail.com A complete listing of rules is located on the land trust website at www.wclt.org Kevin English’s image of Utsalady Bay near Camano Island was picked as the cover photo of the 2015 calendar.

Winners receive recognition and a free calendar.

“Most people weren’t professionals. They get really excited.”

The land trust prints more

than 500 of the 2015 calendars and had to reprint 100 more, Castro said. Proceeds from sales benefit the land trust.

PENN COVE GALLERY in Coupeville is undergoing a remodel and won’t re-open until Saturday, Jan. 31.

New carpet will be installed, new paint applied and new art will be displayed with fresh pieces brought in from the gallery’s 26 artists.

Jan. 19.

“We decided to do a change after our 20th anniversary,” woodworker GARY LEAKE said, referring to last year’s celebration.

Leake said the artists are grateful for building owners John and Irene Carr, who are paying for the new carpet. It’s the same carpet that was present when Penn Cove Gallery opened at its present Front Street location in June of 2000.

The Penn Cove Gallery rarely closes, shutting its doors only for three holidays a year, but this was a

needed move to provide a fresh look, watercolor artist Phyllis Drummond said.

A soft reopening will happen from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 31 with a more grand reopening planned for March 7 during the Penn Cove Musselfest.

“When this city came about, it seemed to have some natural connections,” Wall said.

Oak Harbor Rotary President Aaron Syring, left, presents Oak Harbor football coach Jay Turner with a trophy for the team’s sportsmanship following the Marysville-Pilchuck shooting.

TROPHY CONTINUED FROM A1 and killed four classmates and then himself.

Oak Harbor coach Jay Turner called M-P coach Brandon Carson and offered to forfeit the game, allowing those in Marysville to concentrate on more important matters.

In an added show of support, several Oak Harbor football players attended a vigil in Marysville and a Tomahawk football team meeting that evening.

Marsyville-Pilchuck, in its own act of sportsmanship, stopped by an Oak Harbor practice several days later to present the Wildcats with the first-place divisional trophy.

Ron Wallin of the Oak Harbor Rotary Club spearheaded the effort to give the trophies of recognition to the high school teams.

He and service club representatives presented the trophy to Turner and the football team prior to an Oak Harbor High School wrestling match Friday.

Oak Harbor service clubs also gave a similar trophy to Marysville-Pilchuck Athletic Director Greg Erickson and the Marysville Rotary presi-

dent to be presented to the M-P football team in the near future.

“We did not want this to go unrecognized,” Wallin said.

“Society needs to be reminded of what these teams did.”

By displaying the trophies at the high schools, Wallin said, the hope is to stimulate and perpetuate conversion about the acts of sportsmanship.

“This is something that needs to be passed on,” he said. “As time passes, people will forget. This will be a reminder.”

During the presentation, several club representatives spoke, including school board member Gary Wallin from the Oak Harbor Kiwanis Club: “We can’t thank you enough for what you did.”

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley, who was out of town at a conference when the tragedy occurred, said, “When we heard about what you did, people were in awe.”

The names of the coaching staffs and the names and numbers of each player are engraved on each trophy.

“It was very generous of our local service clubs to do what they did,” Turner said.

“The trophy that they presented to the players is really nice. It’s great to be in a community with so much support from the different organizations.”

ing officer Gerral David, made the short but painstaking journey late night Saturday from the Seaplane Base to it’s new home on Pioneer Way. “Everyone is excited to have it downtown,” said Wil Shellenberger, president of the PBY Memorial Foundation, Monday. “We’ve had a lot of feedback right away from people who want to see it and go inside.”

The move, while smoother than expected, was far from a cake walk.

Maneuvers over lamp posts, under power lines and in between trees and planters had to be made carefully to prevent any damage to the nearly 70-year-old aircraft. The move, which started just before midnight, was completed at about 3 a.m., two hours ahead of schedule.

“The move went better than expected,” said Shellenberger. “Basically none of the obstacles took as long as we thought it might.”

The PBY was towed by a small but powerful tractor through a fence opening on Seaplane Base, down through the pedestrian walkway on Skagit Valley College, along Pioneer Way and left on Bayshore

Drive, and then through the Wells Fargo parking lot and around to its new home next door to People’s Bank.

Early on, the volunteer crew fashioned a temporary bridge out of wood planks to raise one tire, and one wing, to clear a lamp post on the college’s campus.

“A hard landing would be worse than that,” joked crew leader and PBY Memorial volunteer George Love.

Gerral’s Girl, a nickname shortened to GiGi over the years, was one of the PBYs stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1945, first returned in June of 2010 by helicopter. Volunteer research later discovered that the aircraft’s nickname during the war was originally Radar Rachel, and had a “very fetching young lady painted on the nose,” Shellenberger said.

Oak Harbor’s PBY Catalina was one of the first of its kind to be equipped with radar used to detect metal objects in the ocean, including submarines.

Oak Harbor resident John Hughes’ father, Jack, flew the PBYs around the Atlantic during World War II when they would go on patrol for 12 hours at a time. Before his death, Jack Hughes shared memories about the two years he flew the aircraft in combat.

Jack Hughes was a recipient of the Distinguished

Flying Cross.

That’s what led John Hughes to become a PBY Museum volunteer a few years ago. He observed the various stages of the aircraft transfer on Saturday.

“It’s a small museum but it’s amazing how much its grown,” he said.

The move of the PBY Catalina marks the completion of the memorial’s transition off base allowing greater accessibility to the public.

The aircraft is part of a larger collection housed across Pioneer Way in the former Whidbey Furniture building. The museum includes historical items from all U.S. wars in addition to flight simulators.

Patty Henry also watched

the PBY’s move Saturday, mostly because the museum has had an important influence on her son, Alejandro, 16, who also volunteers there.

Describing her son as formerly “troubled and shy,” Henry said the museum, its volunteers and veterans have accepted him in as one of their own.

“It’s a great community thing they have going there,” Henry said. “The men and ladies are just amazing.”

Shellenberger said the organization continues seek volunteers, both to help within the museum and to help restore and maintain the PBY Catalina and other artifacts that will join her in the outdoor display.

Because of the heightened tourist activity, Francis said the partial closures will feel like a full closure because traffic will back up significantly.

For that reason, Francis recommends seeking out alternative ways to get off the island, such as the Clinton and Coupeville ferries.

This stretch of highway

was last repaved in 1994 and 1996, and crews will be repairing worn pavement, lanes with rutting, cracks and potholes, according to the state Department of Transportation.

Vehicle traffic along the route has increased by 20 percent since 1993, with more than 18,000 vehicles crossing the spans daily.

In addition to paving

the bridge, routine maintenance will also be performed including bridge deck repairs, replacement of bridge joint casings, new pavement markers and erosion control work.

Repaving the highway now will reduce annual maintenance and repair costs moving forward, according to state Transportation.

STRUCK CONTINUED FROM A1 The truck struck the woman in the middle of the road.

Clements said the woman was injured and transported to the hospital by ambulance.

He said she was talking and her injuries didn’t seem to be serious.

Clements said he was still investigating some issues, but he didn’t think either party would be cited.

He explained that pedestrians are supposed to use a crosswalk to cross a road if there’s one within 300 feet.

In this case, it was about 400 feet to a crosswalk.

The driver wasn’t at fault, he said, because the colli-

sion occurred when it was dark and foggy; the pedestrian wasn’t wearing anything reflective.

“She wasn’t very visible,” he said.

Clements said a student walking to school about a week earlier was hit by a car just up the road.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is spearheading an effort to build a mid-block crosswalk at the site, which is a common place for people to cross.

People commonly cross between Saars Market, other businesses and a bus stop on one side and the Roller Barn and residential units on the other.

He brought the proposal to the Skagit-Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization and the group

ranked it as the No. 1 project for funding.

As a result, the city received a $224,500 grant from the Transportation Alternative Program to build the crossing.

The grant requires no local matching funds.

Several council members, however, had concerned about the configuration of an unusual mid-block crosswalk in a road crammed with driveways, entrances and exits.

As a result, the council asked for a traffic engineer to look at the issue before moving ahead with it. The engineer found there was a need and proposed two options.

In October, the council approved moving forward with the design and permitting of the project.
