Holistic doctor has history of legal run-ins

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

A second provider associated with Whidbey Naturals in Oak Harbor was arrested last week on suspicion of practicing medicine without a license, the Oak Harbor Police Department reported.

C. Hugh Jonson, 75, who claimed to be a former Navy doctor and licensed naturopath, was arrested last week.

It wasn’t the first time, according to police.

Under a slightly different spelling, Hugh Clarence Johnson was convicted of multiple felonies in 1995 in Sonoma County Superior Court, Calif. Those crimes were associated with practicing medicine without a license, according to court documents and news reports.

Oak Harbor Police Detective Mike Bailey confirmed that the Hugh Clarence Johnson convicted in California is the

same man who was arrested in Oak Harbor.

Johnson was charged with 47 felonies in Sonoma County, “including fraud, forgery and possession firearms,” according to 1995 reports published in the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa, Calif.

Student hacks school staffers’ email accounts

By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-editor

Oak Harbor School District is investigating a student’s hacking of staff and fellow students’ email accounts to determine if it is related to a server failure in recent weeks, according to the district’s communications coordinator.

District spokeswoman Kellie Tormey said staff members first realized that something was awry on Feb. 19 when online accounts of some staff members and students at the high school and middle schools were suddenly inaccessible.

Congressman Rick Larsen answers questions from a room of civics class students in the Oak Harbor High School library Friday as part of a Whidbey Island visit.

A lesson in Politics 101

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Second District Congressman Rick Larsen told students at Oak Harbor High School Friday that, while politicians choose the issues they want to tackle during a campaign,

they rarely choose them when in office.

“You run on the issues, but when you get in office the issues run you,” Larsen said.

“They run all over you. You don’t get to choose.”

Larsen spoke to civics class students as part

of a Whidbey Island visit that included a meeting with Oak Harbor schools Superintendent Lance Gibbon and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station leadership to discuss future base growth.

Navy contractor charged Oak Harbor man allegedly with assaulting coworker sold heroin to informant Victim suffered multiple skull fractures

By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-editor

A former civilian employee at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station was charged this week with hitting a fellow worker with a wrench, knocking the man unconscious and breaking his jaw and skull in multiple places, according to court documents.

The November 2013 attack was unprovoked, according to a special agent with Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

It occurred after the attacker stopped taking anti-psychotic medication, investigators said.

Prosecutors charged Ernesto Galvez, 59, of Oak Harbor, in Island County Superior Court March 9 with first-degree assault.

Galvez is accused of attacking his co-worker at the Fleet Readiness Center Northwest on November 2013. The men were contract employees for Mission First Support Services.

Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said a number of factors delayed the filing of charges. He said the NCIS agent had to

ed to a security building.

In a bathroom, he stabbed himself in the neck, abdomen and chest — puncturing his lungs — with “large safety pins,” the report states. Security officers restrained Galvez, who was taken to Whidbey General Hospital for treatment.

Witnesses who saw Galvez allegedly hit his co-worker with a wrench said the two men were not fighting; co-workers had no knowledge of any conflict between them.

The victim also said he had no idea why he was attacked.

Galvez’s wife told an investigator that her husband was insulted by a joke the victim made approximately three years prior, but no conflicts since then.

Galvez became increasingly delusional and paranoid and had stopped taking his anti-psychotic medication without consulting his doctors, the report states.

Galvez was hospitalized after the attack. He was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia, acute psychotic episode and assaultive behavior, the report indicates.

do a lot of follow-up work on the case, including the issuance of search warrants of medical records for both the victim and Galvez.

Also, Galvez’s attorney requested that charges be delayed, he said. The attorney could not be reached for comment.

Galvez picked up a twofoot-long torque wrench and struck a man who was working on an aircraft engine; when the man fell unconscious to the floor, Galvez struck him again in the face “with a two-handed downward swing,” according to an NCIS report.

Co-workers intervened and confronted Galvez, who tossed the wrench at a witness and attempted to flee on foot, the report said.

Navy security detained Galvez in a nearby hallway.

Investigators initially reported that the victim’s injuries were possibly fatal. He was transported to Whidbey General Hospital and later airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment.

He suffered “a subdural hematoma, multiple skull and orbital fractures, a fractured jaw and damage to the bone structures in his ear,” the NCIS report states.

After he was taken into custody, Galvez was escort-

An investigation involving a confidential informant led to the arrest of a 35-year-old Oak Harbor man suspected of dealing heroin, court documents state.

Prosecutors charged Phillip H. Collier in Island County Superior Court March 9 with possession with intent to deliver heroin, possession of methadone and maintaining premises for use of a controlled substance.

Collier is also accused of possessing a firearm while dealing heroin, which increases his potential prison sentence.

If convicted of the charges, Collier could face more than four years in prison.

Oak Harbor police worked with a confidential informant who conducted two “controlled purchases” of heroin from Collier, according to a report by Detective Sgt. Mike Bailey.

In December 2014, officers executed a search warrant on Collier’s home on Heller Road. Collier and two other residents were arrested.

Collier admitted that he uses heroin; he said he usually doesn’t sell it, but he has sold some in the past to people who asked for it, Bailey wrote.

Officers seized suspected heroin, digital scales and plastic bags from his bedroom, according to the report.

Collier also had a handgun and an “assault rifle” next to his night stand, the report states.

Governor to speak at annual EDC luncheon Gov. Jay Inslee will be the keynote speaker at the Island County Economic Development Council’s annual membership luncheon 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 24 in Oak Harbor.

Inslee will discuss the budget, transportation, economic development and education, according to Sami Postma of the EDC. Postma said the gover-

nor will be on a tight schedule. As a result, questions will be limited to those presubmitted by “table sponsors” no later than 4 p.m. on March 17.

The event is a fundraiser for the EDC, Postma said.

Lunch is $40 and table sponsorships are $350. The public is welcome. For information, visit www.iscoedc.com or call 360-678-6889.

Barbara Bailey waterway protection bill clears Senate State Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, is backing a bill that prioritizes the environment over facial exfoliation.

Senate Bill 5609, sponsored by Bailey, cleared the Senate. The measure would prohibit the manufacture or sale of products containing microbeads in Washington state.

they find their way from the bathroom to harbors, lakes and other waterways, according to a press release issued by Bailey’s office.

“The industry is leading on this effort to keep our fish and waterways safe,” Bailey said in the press release.

“This bill gives manufacturers time to find alternatives that won’t pose a risk to our waters,” she said.

“We need to be sure that fish and other marine life aren’t consuming plastics that can ultimately end up in our food system.”

CORRECTION n It was incorrectly reported in the March 7 issue of the Whidbey News-Times that some of the Oak Harbor School District’s commitments regarding the 2013 levy wouldn’t continue.

Commitments the district made such as the $600,000 curriculum replacement and $150,000 supplies and equipment costs will continue but on a cycle.

Former Island County commissioner Angie Homola stands in front of Swan Lake, an estuary where the county has been reprimanded for performing work without proper permitting.

County in deep water over Swan Lake work

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The Army Corp of Engineers has fired a warning shot at Island County for performing maintenance work on Swan Lake tide gates without proper authorization.

While the Corps did not formally reprimand the county, it is requesting additional information so a determination can be made.

“Based on the available information, it appears you have performed work in the waters of the U.S. without Department of the Army authorization,” states the Corps of Engineers letter, dated Feb. 10.

“The work appears to be in violation of federal law and I direct you to do no further work.”

The complaint, made

to the Corps of Engineers, was lodged by former Island County commissioner Angie Homola, who lives near Swan Lake and has championed its environmental preservation.

Homola said the county shouldn’t think they are above the environmental protections put in place by the Clean Water Act and enforced by the Army.

“The argument that tide gate maintenance should not require permits doesn’t hold water,” Homola said.

Public Works Director Bill Oakes said there’s still “debate” about whether Island County broke any rules or failed to get the proper permitting for what

he considers routine work.

Oakes said the county did acquire the required Hydraulic Project Approval permit from state.

“It was such a small amount of maintenance,” Oakes said.

In his March 3 response to the Army Corps of Engineers, county maintenance Superintendent Matt Nienhuis explained that the purpose of the work was to clean out debris and mud that had built up in front of two inlet pipes that connect to the tide gates.

“Removal of the accumulated silt and debris from the pipe inlets was the only way to restore normal flows

through the pipes,” Nienhuis stated.

Homola conceded that the work was minor and probably necessary, but added she is concerned it may be representative of larger pattern of overlooking environmental protections.

“If confirmed, this will be the second time in the past eight years the county has violated the CWA for work in association with the tide gates at Swan Lake,” Homola said.

Island County was reprimanded by the Army Corps of Engineers in 2008 for performing similar work at Swan Lake without obtaining the proper permits.

After 14 years of scouting, teen sells last cookies

By KELLY PANTOLEON News clerk

After 14 years in the game, Bailey Kinker is retiring.

Now a high school senior, Kinker started her Girl Scout career when she was in preschool.

“It’s kind of weird to think that I’m growing up,” Kinker said.

She sold her last box of Girl Scout Cookies on Friday, earning her lifetime membership.

By being a registered lifetime member, Kinker said she can come back during college and help with the younger Girl Scouts.

“It’s something that clears me for the rest of my life so I can be involved,” she said.

Kinker needed to sell at least 285 boxes to pay for her lifetime membership.

Her mom, Lisa Kinker, said Bailey sold 350 boxes.

Lisa Kinker said she didn’t get the math exactly right and got lucky that she brought extra boxes.

“It was kind of one of those

nights that we see faces we only get to see during cookie season,” she said.

As the founder and leader of her daughter’s troop, Lisa Kinker said she’s been “extremely involved.”

She said she’s learned so much along the way because she’s had to do so much planning and research in order to teach her troop.

“I will be an empty nester. She’s my last one,” Lisa Kinker said.

“I’ll be able to get into other activities.”

She said that like she did, she wouldn’t be surprised if Bailey becomes a troop leader for younger kids.

“It’s nice for me to step back while she keeps going,” Lisa Kinker said.

Bailey agreed that she’ll probably continue with the organization.

“It’s cool to think that I’m moving on to help the younger kids,” she said.

president at Oak Harbor High School; is president of Students Against Destructive Decisions, or SADD; is a member of TATU, or Teens Against Tobacco Use; and teaches enrichment French classes at Broad View Elementary.

Kinker said she knows for a fact that she wants to do something with helping kids.

After college, she’s considering going into early childhood education or administration.

She said she enjoys helping kids of all ages.

“My favorite part is probably being able to communicate with all grade levels and doing service projects for the community,” Kinker said.

“I’m in a lot of other clubs and organizations. I always find myself doing things that are service based. I’m happier doing things that help others.”

While Kinker is now happy that she’s earned her lifetime membership, being a Girl Scout wasn’t always easy for her.

She said it was hard sticking with it in middle school.

People would said things like, “Oh, you’re a Girl Scout,” Kinker said.

But she said working with

When she got into high school, she said it was really hard to continue.

“It didn’t seem like the cool thing to be doing,” Kinker said. “But the more I kept being involved, the more I realized how much it meant to me.”

She admits it’s hard with it being senior year because everyone’s busy with their sports and clubs.

Kinker also said it was

“A lot of people tell me I’m too old to be a Girl Scout,” she said. “They say, ‘Where’s the Girl Scout?’”

Kinker said she’s gotten “really terrible remarks” from people.

POLITICS 101 and the electorate second.”

This is something he said he’s trying to combat.

Responding to a question from a student about the future of drones, Larsen said Congress is in the process of working on legislation addressing airspace regulation in regard to drones.

“We prefer to call them unmanned aerial vehicles,”

Larsen said.

“It’s less threatening.”

The drone debate is one example of the type of issue Congress gets to address during a legislative session, Larsen said.

“It’s a really practical problem and it’s going to be tough to make this happen.”

But, he said, “if we do this right, you’ll never hear about it” in terms of criticism.

A couple of students asked transportation-related questions, addressing both the local bus system and the

using free curriculum offered

by Common Sense Media.

Although the lessons are prompted by changes in federal and state law, how they are being taught varies from district to district, Gibbon said.

“We recognized that the more technology that we bring into schools and the more technology students have access to at home that it’s increasingly important that we help educate students earlier and earlier about responsible use of technology,” Gibbon said.

“And sadly, we see evidence in the media and even experience it in our own community when people aren’t responsible.”

Anna Fick, the Oak Harbor School District’s technology teacher on special assignment, presented the “digital citizenship” concepts and plan to the school board on

March 9.

Fick said it’s necessary for students to be taught at an early age the world of the Internet they are entering.

The curriculum is designed to be age appropriate with lessons that warn students about disclosing private information, not accepting everything they see on the internet as factual, websites to avoid, issues with cyberbullying and how online messages can come across differently than when communicated face to face.

“You and I know how to be respectful to each other and be responsible,” Fick said.

“Online, it’s really easy to feel like you can hide behind something or you can get away with something,” Fick said.

Through social media, Fick said many people are learning lessons that what they post online is archived

members accounts, gained unauthorized access to a secure area of the network and intentionally shut down accounts belonging to select students and staff members, she said.

The student admitted to

some of the violations and the district is pursuing appropriate discipline, Tormey said.

Not long after the incident, the district experienced a failure of the “exchange server,” which shut down email ser-

“It’s starting earlier and earlier,” Gibbon said.

With the use of technology in classrooms increasing, the responsibility that falls upon schools over proper usage and Internet safety is increasing as well.

Oak Harbor School District will be implementing lessons about the proper and safe use of digital technology into its K-12 curriculum starting in the fall.

With education and issues formerly handled through library programs and school counselors, lessons in “digital citizenship” will be taught in the classroom beginning in kindergarten and continue until a student’s senior year.

Those are decisions are largely made on a local and state level, Larsen replied, but Congress tries to support transportation improvements though funding.

“In Congress, we’re in the process of writing a transportation bill for surface transportation and it would include helping agencies like Island Transit,” he said.

In terms of infrastructure, Larsen said he’s hoping the country can transition to being more proactive than

“It’s about replacement before it falls down rather than using a collapse to indicate it needs to be fixed,” Larsen said.

“I think we’ll get there.”

A student asked Larsen if he’s ever thanked for his “good deeds” in office.

“It’s fewer times than the times I’ve been criticized,” Larsen said. “If you’re in this job to get thanked, get another job.”

Journalists should not expect immunity from harsh criticism PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

I received an email Feb. 17 from a man who writes for the website truthout.org In his email, the writer complained about a letter to the editor in which his writing about the Navy on Whidbey Island was criticized by a newspaper reader.

In his email, the writer asserted he was “slandered” because the letter to the editor called him a “second rate journalist.” He also said the letter contained misleading information associating him with Al Jazeera, “where I used to work, but left due to my disagreeing with some of their editorial policy (sic) … I’m no fan of Al Jazeera.”

I replied to the email with the following: “I apologize if (the) letter was deemed insulting. Free speech, as the United States Supreme Court has ruled time and again, is often not pretty. Unfortunately, the media, and journalists, myself included, are frequently targeted for harsh criticism. In my case, I consider myself a fair target for criticism and have published letters critical of me and/or this newspaper with little or no editing … We invite you to write a letter to the editor in response to (the) letter.”

Frankly, I’ve been called a lot worse than “second rate,” and that’s just during the past two years.

There was no reply, and I assumed the writer took the opportunity to cool his jets — so to speak — and move on.

Apparently not.

I received an email with a link to a March 9 article posted on truthout.org. The article, written by the author of the email, rails on the Navy and paints a bleak picture in which the Navy flies over homes day and night “generating sonic booms.”

If you’ve ever heard a sonic boom, there’s no mistaking it. They shake buildings, set off car alarms, and 911 switchboard are inundated with calls from people asking the cause.

I haven’t heard a sonic boom over Puget Sound since 2010, when jets were dispatched from Portland, Ore., during a visit to Seattle by President Obama.

What really caught my attention in the truthout piece — and the reason the link to the story was emailed to me — was the following paragraph: “A small newspaper on Whidbey Island, where the Navy’s air base is located, has regularly run bellicose op-eds written by a retired member of the Navy, who regularly attacks those critical of the Navy’s plans while writing under a pseudonym.”

Since the words “small newspaper” contained a link directing readers to the Whidbey News-Times website, I think it’s safe to assume he was referring to me and the News-Times.

First, use of the word “bellicose” is, in my opinion, hyperbole, but that could be construed as subjective. So be it.

To characterize me as “retired military,” though, is incorrect. I am not military, past or present. A quick call or email would have easily corrected the record. Heck, he could have pulled up my Linked In for my full resume.

From the tone of the piece, I suspect the truthout writer’s intent was to cast doubt on my credibility by portraying me as being in the pocket of the military.

If that’s his opinion, he’s entitled to it. However, his article wasn’t identified as opinion. If someone seems to be bolstering their argument by relying on misinformation, one has to wonder about the veracity of whatever else he or she says or writes. Anyone who presents themselves as a journalist shouldn’t expect to be immune from criticism. n Keven R. Graves is editor and publisher for the Whidbey News-Times.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mayor

Transparency talk just that — talk Editor, I see Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is at it again. Remember the

oak tree at the post office?

Dudley said, (paraphrasing), let’s just cut her down in the middle of the night so the people can’t say “no.”

I went to his office and told him it was certainly the wrong thing to do in a democracy.

After he bragged for about 10 about all his efforts at transparency in his administration, I told him I hoped all his efforts were to be negated by this

one simple act.

Now, here we go again with the sewer project. Do first, tell later, that way he can do what he wants.

He also said he didn’t care if he was voted in again.

Great, let’s vote him out so we citizens can have a say for a change.

Andrew T. Hyde Jr.

Andrew Thomas “Tom” Hyde Jr. died at his home in Coupeville Feb. 19, 2015, at the age of 84. He was born in Stites, Idaho, May 29, 1930, to Andrew and Nellie Hood Hyde. The Hyde family moved frequently, following Andrew’s work, and Tom lived in many towns across Washington and Oregon.

Tom was living in Redondo, Wash., and attending Federal Way High School, when he left school and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He was trained as an aircraft mechanic and was stationed in Okinawa and Guam.

Tom left the service and attended the University of Washington on the GI Bill.

He met a fellow student at UW, and on May 15, 1954, he and Georgina Kovich were married at Trinity Episcopal Church. Georgina was the only girl in a family of five boys. Her brothers were very possessive of their sister and looked Tom over very carefully before giving their approval to marry their sister.

Receiving his degree, Tom was hired by Boeing and began a 30-year career in management with Boeing.

Tom also had a love of flying and received his private pilot’s license after leaving the Air Force. He retired from Boeing as an upper-level manager. During his career with Boeing, he was never out of work, working through the downturns in the economy and the labor strikes.

Tom and Georgina visited Whidbey on several occasions and eventually purchased a cabin on the beach.

As retirement approached, they remodeled and rebuilt the cabin into their retirement home on the beach.

Tom was a life member of the University Masonic

Lodge #141, F&AM of Seattle and the Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association.

Tom was a true Civil War buff, and Georgina was very skilled at genealogy, and together they visited every battlefield and cemetery of the Civil War, identifying family members who fought for the North and those who fought for the South. They had found a great area of common interest.

Tom was an extremely social person, making friends where ever he was. He was a politically conservative Republican and proud of it.

Georgina preceded Tom in death in 2012, and his world changed forever. He is survived by four children and their spouses, Diane (David) Butler, of Tigard, Ore., Marilee Hyde, of Coupeville; Andrew T. “Tim” Hyde III of Cle Elum, Wash., and Warren (Chen Xiaohong) Hyde, of Wenzhou, China; two granddaughters, Kirstin Humason and Olivia Hyde; sisters Mary Lu McDaniels, of Lynnwood, and Helen Lais, of Renton.

Graveside funeral services for Tom Hyde were held Friday, Feb. 27, 2015, at Sunnyside Cemetery with Gary Wallin, certified life celebrant, officiating and the Skykomish Lodge #259 F&AM providing Masonic Rites. Military honors were provided under the auspices of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard, Joint Base LewisMcChord.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC. To share condolences, please visit Tom’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com

Prep Sports Preview Matches, meets start next week for Oak Harbor, Coupeville spring athletes

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Here’s a look at what to expect from the Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school track, tennis and golf teams this spring.

See last Wednesday’s Whidbey News-Times for reviews of the baseball, softball and soccer teams.

OH Boys Track 2 all-stars pace Wildcat runners Two returning firstteam, all-Wesco runners, John Rodeheffer and Dejon Devroe, will lead a large, young Oak Harbor boys track team this spring.

Last year in the 3,200 meters, Rodeheffer was league and district champion and placed eighth in the state. He also placed 12th in the state 1,600 after winning the league title.

Devroe was the league and district champion in the 400 meters and placed sixth in the state meet. He also placed 14th at state in the 4x400 relay with returning letter winners senior Sebastian Ceaser and junior Josiah Welch.

Another senior, shot putter Tyler Adamson, has a good shot at competing at state this spring, according to coach Jay Turner.

Other returning lettermen are Miguel Guzman, Blaine Coleman, Tyren Perdue, Jared Grey, Cedric Ekberg, Garren Guerrero, Chris Humphries, Quinn Karney, Diangelo McKinney, Kris Medina, Zach Norton and David Ray. The top newcomers, according to Turner, are Mac Nuanez, D’Andre Bellamy, Ben Bozeman, Wyatt Pauley and JT Armstrong.

“The boys team will be very young this year,” Turner said. “(We) have a really strong freshmen group and a lot of new faces. Currently there are almost 90 boys turning out for track, which is the highest number we have seen in a long time.”

Oak Harbor will host a jamboree at 3:30 p.m. Thursday,

March 19.

The first meet is at Snohomish against Glacier Peak and Edmonds-Woodway at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 26.

The first home meet is against Lake Stevens at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 2.

OH Girls Track 23 returnees to lead Wildcats Twenty-three letter winners return to help the Oak Harbor girls track team battle in the Western Conference.

The Wildcats “should look to be in the middle to upper part of the league this year,” coach Eric Peterson said.

“We had a lot of sophomores and juniors qualify for

the district meet, so they have the experience and know the level of work needed to succeed.”

Beyond the returnees, there is little experience, Peterson added.

“This season we have a lot of freshmen and first-year runners, so there will be a big learning curve for them.”

The returning letter winners are sprinters Sierra Seabolt, Janae Payne, Kiesha Watts, Priya Osborne, Matti Miesle, Alana Austin and Deja Bunch; distance runners Suzanne Kaltenbach, Jonalynn Horn, Carolynn Wicker and Laura Rodeheffer; hurdler Nalani Gabbert; throwers Taylor Deconzo, Kaylee Lamb, Kyanna Prosch and Jinai Guzman; jumpers

Claire Anderson, Hayley Lundstrom, Stephanie Kolden, Zoeann Bassett and Amelia Berner; and pole vaulters Juliet Asperry and Rebecca Klestincoua.

Deconzo (javelin) and Lundstrom (high jump) placed fourth at the district meet in 2014, missing qualifying for state by one spot.

“The coaches are excited to see how this year starts to develop with all the younger athletes out this season,” Peterson said. “They bring a lot of excitement and energy, which will make for exciting meets.”

Oak Harbor opens the season with a jamboree at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

CV Track PRs are primary aim for Wolves The goals of the Coupeville High School track team are different than with most squads. Recording personal bests and not team wins are the focus.

Both the Wolves’ boys and girls teams lack the depth to compete in team scoring; the boys team has only 10 members and the girls 15.

One thing they don’t lack is ability.

Sitting No. 1 on the talent chart is junior Makana Stone, one of the state’s top female sprinters.

Stone finished second in the state in the 1A 400

meters last spring and holds the school record for the distance and the 200 meters.

Also back for the girls are sprinters senior Marisa Etzell, junior Sylvia Hurlburt and sophomore Lauren Grove.

Etzell and Hurlburt ran with Stone to set several school relay records over the past two seasons, and the pair reached the finals in last year’s district meet in individual sprints.

Grove joined Stone, Etzell and Hurlburt to place in the district 4x200 in 2014.

Kirsten Pelroy, who helped Coupeville win the conference title in the 4x400 relay in 2013, returns after taking a year off.

Another returning letter winner for the girls is sophomore Skyler Lawrence, who reached the district finals in the shot put and discus last spring.

Leading the list of seven newcomers to the girls team, according to coach Randy King, is freshman Lauren Bayne, who will run the hurdles and distance races.

Junior lettermen sprinters Lathom Kelley and Jared Helmstadter return for the Coupeville boys.

Both placed in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays in last spring’s district meet.

“Lathom is stronger and faster this year,” King said.

Also back are junior Dalton Martin and sophomores Mitchell Carroll and Connor Thompson.

Martin placed in the discus at district and is already throwing in the 130s this spring, King said.

Thompson and Carroll placed in the jumps at last year’s district meet.

“I expect the kids to compete in the top level of our league,” King said.

Coupeville will participate in the Oak Harbor jamboree at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19, and then two days later travel to the Port Angeles Invitational, which begins at 11 a.m.

Coupeville will not hold any home meets this spring.

her game and, specifically, improve her short game.

“More than anything, I want to enjoy every part that comes with this final season,” Fields said.

Fields practices with the South Whidbey High School team at the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club and follows the Falcons’ schedule.

The first match is against Cedarcrest at 3 p.m.

Thursday, March 19, at Useless Bay.

PREVIEW CONTINUED FROM A8

OH Boys Golf Wildcats in hunt for top spot With all but one starter returning, the Oak Harbor boys golf team will be among Wesco’s best this year.

The Wildcats could have been even better. Its top golfer from last year, Mac Kerfoot, didn’t graduate but transferred to school in Canada, according to coach David Smith.

Kerfoot, a two-time state qualifier, was the Wesco tournament champion and a firstteam, all-league selection.

Even with Kerfoot gone, the Wildcats are solid with six returning letter winners, all seniors: Hunter Adams, Tom Dale, Mason Dieter, Aaron Kelley, Raiden Poe and Steven Timm.

Adams earned secondteam, all-Wesco honors in 2014.

Also back is senior Ben Fikse, who played as a sophomore but sat out last spring.

“We’ve got a full crew of seniors who have a lot of experience,” Smith said.

Smith said he likes the improvement of Dieter and Poe, who worked hard in the offseason.

A key newcomer, according to Smith, is sophomore Caleb Brooksheir.

Oak Harbor finished third in the league and fifth at district last year.

“I would say this group has a pretty solid chance to be top three,” Smith said.

“Depending on how they play in the tournaments, we have a chance to send two or three to state. We definitely have the potential. All have shot below 80.”

One of the keys to success this year is how the players handle adversity, Smith said.

In the past, they have let a bad shot affect the next.

Being able to refocus after a bad hole is important, Smith said.

“Everyone has a bad hole,” Smith said. “That’s part of golf.”

Oak Harbor hosts Monroe at 1 p.m. Monday, March 16, at the Whidbey Golf Club in the season opener.

OH Girls Golf Wildcats shoot for another title The Oak Harbor High School girls golf team is set to defend its Western Conference championship this spring.

Coupeville’s Christine Fields placed 5th in the state 1A golf tournament last spring.

The Wildcats graduated only two players from last year’s title team, but the pair were the team’s best, Joanna Leete and Bree Roderos.

Some talent does return, however. Junior Resego Mooki earned first-team, allWesco honors last spring, and senior Hailey Beecher made the honorable mention list in her first year of golf.

The duo tied for eighth in the Wesco tournament.

Mooki just missed qualifying for state when a putt lipped out at the district tournament in a playoff for the final berth.

Two other letter winners return: senior Marisa Sligh, last year’s Most Improved Player, and junior Tarra Baird.

The key newcomer, according to coach Andy Wesley, is freshman Grace Korsmo.

“We have three strong leaders on the team that can show all of the new golfers what it takes to be a successful member of the team,” Wesley said.

The team’s goal, he said, is to defend its league title and send several girls to state.

“The girls we have out there this year are positive and extremely excited about playing golf,” Wesley said. “I am looking forward to seeing how the year turns out and where their hard work will take them.”

The Wildcats will play in a jamboree at the Snohomish Golf Course at 3 p.m.

Tuesday, March 17. The first

match is 3 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at Stanwood.

Oak Harbor hosts the 13-team Whidbey Shootout at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 24.

CV Golf Fields gunning for 4th state trip Coupeville High School has only one golfer, senior Christine Fields, but she is among the state’s best.

Fields placed fifth in the state 1A tournament last spring, the best finish ever by a CHS golfer.

She also qualified for state the previous two years, nabbing eighth as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore.

In addition to her state efforts, Fields holds three top-10 finishes at district and three top-seven finishes at tridistrict.

After being named to the all-Cascade Conference second team as a freshman, she picked up first-team honors the past two seasons.

“Since it is my last season, I am looking to push myself harder than any other year,” Fields said. “I believe the skill level I am at is at its highest yet. I will strive to make firstteam all-conference, place in top spots at districts and bi-districts, giving myself a good chance to do well at state.”

Her goals during the regular season, she said, are to work on the consistency of

With the return of his top two singles players, Oak Harbor High School tennis coach Horace Mells said his team should have a shot at finishing among the first three in the Wesco North standings this spring.

Other goals for Mells are for his club to win at least 10 of its 16 matches and advance at least one singles player and one doubles team to district.

Oak Harbor won eight matches and finished third in the North with a 3-5 mark last year.

The Wildcats lost seven players to graduation, but the cupboard is far from bare.

Back are eight letter winners, including senior Mackenzie Perry and junior AnnaBelle Whitefoot, the No. 1 and No. 2 singles players from 2014.

Perry earned first-team, all-Wesco North honors last season and finished third in the divisional singles tournament.

Another returning letter winner, senior Allysa Eden, will fill the third or fourth singles spot.

The other returnees --seniors Hannah Gluth, Ellysa Bonganay, Erin Horikawa and Patrice Woodworth and junior Ria Bains --- will help fill out the doubles teams.

Newcomer Tamia Rios, a sophomore, is likely to play singles, Mells said.

Also battling to help in doubles are the other key newcomers: senior Emily Black; juniors Lauren Aspery, Elma Marie Empinado and Julia Smith; and sophomore Emma Lerch.

“I like the newly acquired players,” Mells said. “I have seen all of them practicing during the offseason, and they have the ability and potential to be much more than adequate replacements for those we lost to graduation.”

The Wildcats begin the season with three home matches. Lake Stevens is up first at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 17.

Oak Harbor’s Rosego Mooki earned first-team, all-Wesco honors last season.

CV Tennis Wolves look to be in title hunt The goals Coupeville tennis coach Ken Stange has for his athletes go beyond the players’ high-school years.

“I always have the expectation that the players will grow their games while enjoying a lifelong sport that they can play for decades,” Stange said.

“I love the game and I like sharing it with people who enjoy it.”

His immediate goal is an Olympic League championship.

“This season, I’m adding the expectation of a league title,” he said. “I’m not sure what Klahowya has to offer, but I don’t see why we can’t do what the hoops squad did.”

The team’s strength, according to Stange, is its

depth; 10 letter winners return from 2014.

Last year’s No. 2 singles player, senior Jacki Ginnings, will lead the singles lineup.

Returning double players seniors Micky LeVine and Wynter Thorne could help fill in at singles this year.

The other returning players, seniors Ana Luvera, Ivy Luvera and Haleigh Deasy; juniors Sydney Autio and McKenzie Bailey; and sophomores Valen Trujillo and Bree Daigneault, should stock the doubles lineup, Stange said.

Key newcomers include junior Jazmine Franklin and freshmen Sage Renninger, Payton Aparicio and McKenzie Meyer. Meyer could help out in singles, the others in doubles, Stange said.

Coupeville, which went 6-7 last year, heads to South Whidbey at 3 p.m. Thursday, March 19.

A runner jogs past the kraken sculpture on display in downtown Oak Harbor late Thursday afternoon. The bright blue base color is creating waves among some in the community and even Bill Hunt, the artist, agrees that it should be toned down with a darker shade. Hunt will repaint the art work next week.

Kraken color controversy Artist returning to repaint statue base

By RON NEWBERRY

I

Staff reporter

f you don’t like the bright blue base of Oak Harbor’s new kraken sculpture, don’t worry about hurting the artist’s feelings.

He doesn’t like it, either.

Bill Hunt, who built Oak Harbor’s controversial downtown artwork, will be returning to the city next week to repaint the brightly-colored cement base with the hope that the attention will return to the giant copper octopus.

The bright blue paint used for the base started drawing criticism from the public after it was applied last month, which prompted a representative from the city to request the change before the base was covered with a sealant.

“I have to tell you, when we got done with the piece with the final color coat, I thought it was too much also,” Hunt said. “It’s too bright. It’s too contrasty. It’s just garish compared to the rest of the thing. I’m all in favor of making this color change. Apparently, what the city wants is for it to be subdued quite a bit.”

Hunt, who lives in Depoe Bay, Ore., was commissioned by the city to create the copper-andsteel sculpture for $33,000.

The artwork arrived in Oak Harbor a month ago and was bolted to the sidewalk at Pioneer Way and City Beach Street. The copper-and-

steel octopus and Nautilus came mounted a steel mesh frame with Hunt and a helper still needing to apply stucco and paint to finish the base, which resemble ocean waves.

The bright blue color placed the focus on the base instead of the sculpture and prompted complaints, said Skip Pohtilla, chairman of the city’s arts commission.

“It was just too bright,” Pohtilla said. “It looked more like Caribbean water.”

Cac Kamak, the city’s senior planner and liaison to the arts commission, discussed a solution with Hunt, who agreed darker shades were needed.

An arts commission sub-committee was formed to look at different color options.

Hunt said he believes the problem lies within the white stucco undercoat and wants to switch to gray, which he believes will tone down the blue significantly.

Jeff Baggett, Hunt’s brother-in-law, built a concrete mold, showing different combinations of stucco and paint that will be examined by the sub-committee.

The idea is for the waves to better represent the color of Puget Sound waters, Pohtilla said.

“Once the color sample has been selected, then they can try to match it up, put it on the base and make it look like more of a roiling angry sea disturbed by the kraken and the Nautilus.”

The sculpture has created some controversy with the sea creature made famous in Jules Verne’s 1870 novel swallowing up a submarine in a Navy town — not a depiction that sits well with Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley.

However, the arts commission wanted a sculpture that would be an attention grabber at the entrance to historic downtown and voted 3-2 in favor of it.

The additional work will involve applying another half-inch thick layer of stucco and a new paint.

“We got all kinds of positive input until we did the color,” Hunt said with a laugh, “so we’ve got to fix that.

“Everybody’s got to be happy, including me.”

HISTORY CONTINUED FROM A1 practicing medicine without a license.

Reached by telephone, Jimenez-Beckius declined to comment and referred questions to her attorney, who could not be reached.

Police began investigating of Whidbey Naturals after receiving information in January from the state Department of Health Systems Quality Assurance

about the business “possibly conducting naturopathic treatment without proper licensing/qualifications,” according to a police statement.

Police served a search warrant at the State Highway 20 location.

A provider credential search for Jonson and Jimenez-Beckius on the state Department of Health

website yielded no licenses to practice medicine.

Jimenez-Beckius does hold a valid license as a marriage and family therapist.

During a December interview with the Whidbey News-Times, Jonson said he came out of retirement to help get a natural medicine clinic off the ground, but that Jimenez-Beckius would be the main health care provider.

The new clinic also employed nurse Barbara Fragala, who said she met

Jonson at church.

Fragala, who could not be reached for comment, does not have license to practice nursing in the state.

Jonson told the reporter he was a Navy-trained emergency room doctor, prisoner of war during the Vietnam war, a Green Beret, and that he had received both the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Silver Star.

The Distinguished Flying Cross Society lists a C. Hugh Johnson as the recipient of the award in

1968 for service in Vietnam.

The Press Democrat reported that Sonoma County court documents revealed that Johnson made diagnosis with “a medical device resembling a cookie cutter” and fraudulently prescribed everything from Vicodin to cobra venom.

Johnson has a history of legal issues dating to 1975, according to the Press Democrat. He was convicted of brandishing a firearm in 1975 and fraud in 1984, the newspaper reported,

citing court documents.

In 1986, Nor thern California’s federal District Court “found him guilty of making false statements to a federal agency after he was found of have a fake police badge and forged medical examiner’s badge,” the Press Democrat reported. n Investigators are asking for information from anyone who was treated at Whidbey Natural Alternatives for any medical condition.

Whidbey Island will see the state’s newest ferry return to its route in March.

The ferry Tokitae is set to return to the Clinton-toMukilteo route March 22.

The date is also the start of state ferries’ spring schedule.

Currently, ClintonMukilteo service is handled by the Kittitas and Chelan, both Issaquah 130-class ferries with a maximum vehicle capacity of 124.

The Tokitae’s holds 144 cars.

“It’s the slower season of the year so we can handle the Clinton-Mukilteo traffic no problem,” said Susan Harris, a ferries spokeswoman.

Since late January, the Tokitae has served the Edmonds-to-Kingston route.

Typically that run is handled by the Tacoma, a Jumbo Mark II-class vessel that holds up to 202 vehicles. The Tacoma was knocked out of service July 29 with 400 passengers stranded until tug boats took it to Bainbridge Island.

A design flaw was later blamed by ferry officials, and the Tacoma underwent repairs at the Eagle Harbor shipyard.

The Tokitae, which began transporting people last June, was slated to be pulled from service for work covered under warranty.

“It’s always been scheduled,” Harris said. “We have maintenance items we have to get done in a certain period of time.”

“It’s like a new car.”

Once the work was completed and the issues with the Tacoma arose, the Tokitae was rerouted to EdmondsKingston because of the larger volume of freight on the route.

Ferry lines in Clinton became longer than usual, according to business operators there.

Tanya Scriven, an employee at Southern Cross Espresso, at Commercial Street and Highway 525, said she saw long ferry lines starting in mid February.

“The lines have been crazy lately, and I’m always like, ‘Why is it so busy?’” she said.

At Cozy’s Roadhouse across the highway, bartender John Gerlach said he noticed longer lines during the late mornings on weekdays.

“I don’t know if that’s something that usually happens, but I don’t remember a couple years back seeing lines at 10, 11 o’clock,” he said.

“It’s not all the time. It’s just so unusual.”
