Bank robbery suspect looks to steal a heart from behind bars

By JESSIE STENSLAND

Following a whirlwind tour of Whidbey Island, Gov. Jay Inslee touted the strength of the local economy, tying it to the Navy and the entrepreneurial spirit of both small and larger businesses.

Inslee addressed the economy and a host of other issues — and what he’s doing to boost them — during the Island County Economic Development Council’s annual luncheon Tuesday at the Best Western in Oak Harbor.

Just more than 80 island business people attended the event.

Drivers can expect two weeks of daytime delays on State Highway 20 at Deception Pass at the end of March.

Starting Monday, March 30, crews will close one lane alternately to clean and inspect the bridge spans along the highway, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The cleaning is part of the state’s routine maintenance that occurs every two years, according to Tom Pearce with WSDOT communications.

“It’s important that we get this maintenance done… it will help to keep it lasting longer and safer,” Pearce said.

Winery, event center regs become hot-button issues

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Timing is everything.

And the Island County commissioners could not agree last week on when problematic regulations for wineries and rural event centers should be updated.

“It’s creating a problem. It has been creating a problem; it’s not a new problem,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson.

Commissioners reviewed specific changes to the code, and Price Johnson argued that the board push the winery ordinance update through the public process now. Commissioner Jill Johnson said those changes should be done within the scope of the ongoing Comprehensive Plan update due next year.

Commissioner Rick Hannold agreed.

“I support the wineries and the small-scale event centers.

I agree the code … is pretty much a mess,” Hannold said.

“My hope is we can wrap it all into one deal … one nice package.”

Ultimately, commissioners finally agreed to increase the permitting for a temporary rural event center permit from one year to two as a small gesture, allowing

rural locations and wineries to book events more than a year in advance. This small code change will be brought to a future board meeting for approval.

Price Johnson argued for larger code changes because, she said, it is an immediate problem that needs to be addressed to allow people to run their businesses.

“We have specific contradictions that are causing problems right now,” Price Johnson said.

“I think it deserves to have the public conversations. We have a draft already. Just run it through for these code corrections. ... It’s a very narrow focus.”

Business owners have waited long enough, Price Johnson said.

“We made promises to this community that it would be addressed,” Price Johnson said. “We have people trying to run a business on an annual permit.”

On the contrary, Johnson said that in efforts to eliminate “siloing,” or taking issues individually, the board should make the decisions within the Comp Plan update.

“In the context of not creating silos, it seems like where we are in the Comprehensive

Island County commissioners are looking at revising county code that pertains to wineries and rural event centers.

Plan, it seems like the best thing to do is to take those kind of conversations and roll them into the overall adoption of this process,” Johnson said. “Otherwise, what we’re doing is we’re gonna take away that comprehensive scope of work … and nothing is going to be integrated.”

Price Johnson countered that “those are very broad topics, I’m talking about specific language code, a very narrow focus. I’m not interested in having a broad agritourism conversation outside of the Comprehensive Plan. … You’re misunderstanding my request.”

Johnson stressed that she

felt it would be unfair to take the winery discussion before others when other industries have been told to wait.

“We’ve said to multiple communities, ‘We get that you have a problem. You need to hold on until we update the comprehensive plan,’ ” Johnson said.

Hannold agreed that the

discussion should be held within the larger scope of the Comp Plan, adding, “I’m just sitting here staying out of the fight.”

The larger code changes have been championed

by Spoiled Dog Winery owner and new Planning Commission member Karen Krug, who said wineries and rural event centers are limited under the county’s current code.

Krug said that the board’s concession will help some rural event centers in the short term but doesn’t affect the long-term problems with the county’s code.

“It gives people predictability in wedding planning,” Krug said.

When it comes to wineries and rural event centers, Krug said that “such a conflict” within different parts of the code “doesn’t make any sense.”

“I’d like to see that part of the code cleaned up to make sense,” Krug said.

Carl and Rita Comfort, of Comfort Farm and Winery, wrote to the county on the issue, stating that “lacking clear definition, those wineries have been forced to conform to, and apply for, stated uses that are clumsy at best.”

County deliberates best approach to Comp Plan Staff reporter

Photo by Jessie Stensland/Whidbey News-Times

Island County commissioners Rick Hannold, Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson discuss the approach and scope of the ongoing Comprehensive Plan update at a work session last week. needs to be clear what they want from their government because “absolutes come at the trade-off of flexibility,” Johnson said.

Johnson said she’d support removing the Board of County Commissioners as an appeals body in some cases because planning is not its expertise. Such appeals

WE BUY VINTAGE & COSTUME JEWELRY

would instead go straight to Superior Court, Johnson said.

Johnson said the commissioners’ lack of land-use knowledge may open the county to lawsuits.

Johnson said this is “an old way of going about it … a good-old-boy way” that she’d

replace with a “de-politicized” and regulation-based appeal system when it comes to the Comp Plan and the corresponding county ordinances.

“I’d get that moving,” Johnson said.

Hearing Examiner Michael Bobbink agreed.

“If you give them messes

in the code, it just gives them all the more argument,” he said.

Bobbink offered to direct part of his retainer as Hearing Examiner to help perform “code scrub” as part of shouldering the manpower needed to complete the Comp Plan update.

Island County commissioners don’t always agree on how to approach the Comprehensive Plan Update, due next year.

But they agree that they should get as much public participation as possible.

The board met with members of the Island County Planning Commission during an annual joint meeting Monday. They discussed, and occasionally argued, about their priorities for the county’s land use future.

Counties are required to update their Comprehensive Plan, or Comp Plan, every eight years, ensuring that county regulations are in keeping with both ever-changing state requirements and reflect local priorities.

The updated version is due June 2016.

So far, planners received approximately 600 surveys, both online and collected during recent public meetings.

Commissioner Rick Hannold pointed out that the 600 surveys are but a fraction of the county’s nearly 50,000 registered voters.

“I think you would do far better to have a community discussion to explain the Comp Plan and ask for verbal input,” Hannold said.

Commissioner Jill Johnson said she thought the county was “doing well” to offer multiple ways for people to be involved, providing online and in-person platforms for input.

“People have different preferences,” Johnson said.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she is hearing comments that don’t seem to be getting back to planners, which she described as frustrating to residents in her district.

“They’re finding me, but I don’t think they are finding you in the same way,” Price Johnson said.

Commissioners also agreed that the county’s ordinances need to be more accessible and easily interpreted by the public.

“Our code is not userfriendly in its current form,” said Price Johnson, adding said she’d like to get rid of all the code’s “glaring contradictions.”

“We need to identify areas where we have different priorities,” Johnson agreed.

County staff estimate that they will require approximately 7,480 hours to

accomplish the minimum required updates and “code cleanup” to the county’s ordinances.

Commissioners voiced concern that the breadth of work before them will limit the county’s ability to have larger conversations on specific issues and greater public participation.

“What’s our capacity to take on other scopes of work?” Johnson asked.

Long Range Planner Brad Johnson said that the planning staff does have some capacity to take on new discussions but that they “need to be careful of taking on more than we can or missing our deadline.”

“We need to make sure it doesn’t get out of control,” he said.

Discussions not specifically outlined in the Comp Plan update, but listed by Price Johnson as priorities, are the discussion of Freeland as an urban growth area, rural event center regulations and the boundaries for communities like Clinton.

Looking at the county code as a whole, Hannold said he’d like to “get rid of variances” whenever possible to avoid ambiguity.

“My angle would be, I would like it to be cleaned up to the point of reducing the number of appeals to do with language,” he said.

However, the community

Chamber extends hours

Office open longer to be more accessible to members

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

After Christine Cribb turned the lights on inside the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce visitors center one night last fall, another light bulb went off inside her head.

Hired as the Chamber of Commerce’s executive director last September, Cribb frequently worked in her office during the weekends and left the doors open to the public.

She was surprised by the number of visitors who came by and remembers one particular Sunday evening in late September when a tourist from Canada stopped in.

“People might think peak tourism season wraps up on Labor Day, but it’s so incredibly beautiful in September and October, and we want to

Christine Cribb made a push to extend the chamber’s weekend hours through October. take advantage of people coming at that time,” Cribb said.

“I knew the first week I started that we needed to be open on the weekends through October.”

So, the stage was set.

Cribb made the proposal to the chamber board and her

Call 360-544-5843

idea was approved, allowing for extended visitor information center hours to better accomodate tourists as well as chamber members.

Starting April 4, the Chamber of Commerce will add Sunday hours and be open seven days a week through October.

Previously, the Chamber’s weekend schedule ended on Labor Day weekend.

Already in February, the chamber started staying open later on weekdays to accomodate its members, switching its hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

This month, Saturdays were added to that schedule from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Discussions with chamber members led to the change in weekday hours.

“The whole point is I am a member-driven organization,” Cribb said. “Members pay to be part of the Chamber of Commerce. We need to be open and available for our members. We run a visitors’ information center. So we also want to be open for every guest that comes into our city.

“I think it’s exciting.”

Sunday hours will be from noon to 6 p.m.

Firefighter Andrew Moon stands with his award for meritorious service for attempting to save a man’s life on his day off.

OH firefighter honored for his efforts to save man’s life

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor firefighter was honored Tuesday for his efforts to save a man while he was off duty.

Fire Chief Ray Merrill presented firefighter Andrew Moon with a meritorious service award during the council meeting.

Merrill explained that Moon, who’s been a paid on-call firefighter since November 2012, was at his other part-time job Jan. 19 when he heard “a thud” and turned around to see a man on the ground.

Moon jumped into action and took control of the scene, Merrill said.

ing away and Andrew moved forward,” he said.

Moon started CPR after the man suffered a seizure and was pulseless. Merrill said he performed CPR so well that the man started regaining consciousness and tried to push Moon’s hands away.

The man lost consciousness again and his heart stopped, so Moon continued CPR as other first-responders rushed to the scene. The man’s pulse was restored as he was taken away in an ambulance, Merrill said.

Unfortunately, the man died at the hospital.

Merrill said the man’s family members were so thankful that they asked Moon and another firefighter to serve as pallbearers at the funeral.

Merrill and Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley thanked Moon for putting his training into action.

“We live in a safe community, but you make it safer,” Dudley said.

Moon thanked his fellow firefighters, police officers and his family for showing up to support him.

IN OUR OPINION

Good deeds, no matter the size, have big impact Good deeds — big or small — can have a significant impact.

Whether it’s holding a door for someone else or stopping for a stranger with car problems on the side of the road, good deeds leave a mark.

In today’s edition of the Whidbey News-Times we have an article about Oak Harbor firefighter Andrew Moon, who attempted to save a man while working at his part-time job.

A man collapsed after suffering a seizure and Moon performed CPR until first responders arrived. He performed CPR so well that the man started to regain consciousness and tried to push Moon’s hands away.

Sadly, the man later died at the hospital.

The man’s family was so thankful for Moon’s attempts to save their loved one, they asked him to serve as a pallbearer.

It’s stories like this demonstrate the sort of greatness that exists within the people living in our community.

Good deeds happen everyday, and many of them go by without acknowledgment.

Sometimes that’s because we don’t know our Good Samaritan, like the woman who wrote a letter recently to the editor of the News-Times.

The writer told how she lost her wallet in Oak Harbor and returned home in Coupeville to learn someone had already found and, by using the information on her identification, returned it — fully intact, cash and all.

Not knowing who the person was, she wrote the letter offering her thanks.

It’s important to acknowledge good deeds, large and small and, whenever possible, pay it forward.

It can be as simple as thanking the person holding the door open for you, or letting you cut in line at the supermarket.

Great things can come of even the smallest acts of thoughtfulness.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Information

Where is coverage of Navy issues, expansion?

Editor, The news?

Community newspapers serve their subscribers. Hometown issues get priority. But what happens if a local newspaper omits news that could impact the future of the community?

What happens when news gets omitted?

Have you read anything about the Growlers and electromagnetic warfare training in our local Whidbey Island newspapers, all owned by the same company?

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

Over the past three years, I believe Whidbey Island residents have not been adequately informed with information related to the Navy’s unprecedented expansion of ships, jets and personnel into Puget Sound and on Whidbey Island.

Whatever the reason for the local papers’ failure to adequately report on this important news, it is essential that people living on Whidbey be informed about such issues.

Given the inadequacy of the report-

ing on the Navy’s unprecedented expansion into our region and the consequences for us and such creatures as our orca whales — one needs to wonder if this information is simply being suppressed by our local papers?

For those who follow the implications of the Navy’s expansion in terms of more Growlers and their electromagnetic radar presence on the Olympic Peninsula and at OLF Coupeville, there are serious questions to be asked related to the health, safety, economic and environmental impact of the proposed war games and increased jet noise. We need to know what is happening in regard to our local Navy operations and their impact on all of us and, if necessary, to criticize and raise substantive questions.

Is it not the role of the press to also raise these questions, to provide the factual information needed for an informed, respectful conversation that allows all points of view to be given and considered for their merits?

On the other hand, it’s not helpful that the papers publish inflammatory letters that intimidate and stifle rational discussion and do little to contribute to civil discourse.

I encourage our local newspapers to provide responsible, factual, in-depth,

independent coverage of Navy-related news to welcome and encourage a level of civil and respectful dialogue on their editorial pages and in their news coverage.

Editor’s note: The Whidbey NewsTimes reported on the Navy’s Olympic Peninsula Growler training in a story that ran Oct. 29, 2014, and was titled “Navy addresses concerns about ‘war games’ involved in Whidbey Growler training.” The issue was also mentioned in a March 4 story titled “Whidbey antijet group appeals to Navy brass.”

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS

Noisy boys scolded for scaring horses

Here’s what was happening in the news this week:

100 years ago

n The highest yield of wheat on Whidbey Island was on the farm of Mr. Abbott near Coupeville, the yield being 117 bushels per acre, for which Island County was awarded the government medal for the biggest yield per acre in the United States. n A near runaway was caused by boys shooting off dynamite near Mr. Geary’s place. Some boys thought they were cute by doing such things. The News suggested that next time they want to make a noise, they go to their fathers’ stump patch and shoot out a few stumps instead of scaring horses at night and causing accidents.

75 years ago

n The Oak Harbor Holland Days celebration was set for June 14 and 15. In selecting the date, the group made an effort to name a time that would not interfere with the haying and other farm work as it planned to make the ever-popular livestock show better than ever and active cooperation of the farmers was needed. n Jake Wardenaar of Oak Harbor had 16 of his turkey breeding toms killed by dogs. Sheriff Tom Clark was called and killed two of Brick Dougliss’ dogs and was investigating the activities of several other dogs in the neighborhood. n C.E. Langland received 900 baby chicks from the Washington Co-op Hatchery of Bellingham.

50 years ago

n A three-car accident on Midway Boulevard occurred when a woman accidentally hit the accelerator of her car and started a chin reaction. Three cars were proceeding down Midway at a reasonable rate of speed when Linda Hulse, at the end of the line, turned around to look at her baby in the back seat. While she was looking, her foot hit the accelerator and her car hit a pickup in front of her, and the truck hit the car in front of it. Only the driver of lead car suffered injuries. n The Oak Harbor Lions heard plans for a comprehensive development program of natural salmon rearing areas. Milo Moore, a past state director of fisheries, explained his plans to enlarge and increase hatcheries. He told his audience that the state of Washington, especially Whidbey Island and Penn Cove, possess some of the best areas in the world to raise fish.

25 years ago

n Reebok International Ltd. yanked off the air a commercial filmed from Deception Pass Bridge because consumers feared children might be temped to try the dangerous stunt. In the commercial, two men were shown jumping off the 160-foot bridge with an elastic bungee cord strapped to their ankles. n A former Oak Harbor man was charged in Los Angleles County, Calif., with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend. Stewart Yates was accused of shooting and killing Kathryn H. Lawrence, also formerly of Oak Harbor, according to Lt. Gary Jenkins of the Claremont Police Department in Claremont, Calif. n RC Everbeck, an actor who graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1987, appeared in the Touchstone Pictures production of “Pretty Woman,” starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. Everbeck played a Beverly Hills shoe salesman. n Looking Back is compiled from the Whidbey NewsTimes’ archives as the newspaper celebrates 125 years in business and the City of Oak Harbor its 100th anniversary of incorporation.

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

Monitoring the behavior of restrained patients is a common practice; however, individual recording of the patient without permission is a violation of state and federal statues.

Prior to the alleged assault, the nurse’s aide may have violated these statues by video recording the patient. If it was a recording made by a hospital camera monitoring the patient, then it is part of the patient’s file and cannot be accessed without the patient’s approval or a court order.

Concerning the investigation into the incident, the first question is, if the patient swung and struck any of the nurses, was she not charged with a thirddegree assault charge, per state law?

The next question is, was anyone from the North Sound Mental Health Administration, the regional mental health ombudsman, or the Office of Protection and Advocacy, contacted and informed of the incident within the 24-48 hour time period?

Was anyone who was trained in the best standard and with the experience, outside of the hospital or local agencies to prevent a conflict of interests, in the methods of seclusion and restraint, added to the investigation team?

The last question deals with the patient’s treatment for her mental illness. If she was there for 13 days and still required seclusion and restraint, were her medica-

tions changed to provide an alternative? If she was in the hospital for that long and required that level of treatment, I would assume that the patient was ITA’d and on a 14-day commitment.

If this was the case and she was refusing medications, all it takes is agreement between two qualified physicians who examined

her, then medications could be administered involuntarily for up to the 24 hours before a 90-day commitment hearing, or if the patient was stabilized and agrees to medication.

Though I am currently medically retired, I was a clinical director of an inpatient psychiatric facility.

Further, I was the mental health advocate for the state

of Nevada and had primary responsibility to investigate these types of incidents and a Designated Mental Health Professional for most of the last 20-plus years.

I raise these questions to make sure both the nurse and patient in question receive a fair hearing.

Deborah Kay Kepferle, beloved wife of Michael Roy Kepferle and dear mother and confidant of Kaci, Megan and Chase, passed away suddenly from an acute asthma attack at her home near NAS Patuxent River, Md., March 13, 2015.

She was 63.

Deb was friend and mom to so many in this world and stayed in close contact with her friends from Whidbey and other areas of Washington state over the years.

After her 18-year-old son, Pat, died in 2000, she became the glue that held her family and his friends together. She wrote letters and cards every single day, and her unique rounded writing style was immediately recognizable by all who were fortunate enough to stay in contact with her.

many teenagers and young adults and loved them all without reserve.

She co-founded the Meningitis Prevention and Awareness Children’s Trust (MPACTrust) in 2001, which later became the National Meningitis Association. She was one of a small group of moms who participated in a public relations campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of meningitis and the availability of a vaccine. Known as “Moms on Meningitis,” the Public Ser vice Announcement (PSA) was recognized with a national “Telly” award for one of the best television PSAs in 2003. Although she was active in the organization for a few years, her heart was really with her extended family of “kids” whom she counseled, comforted and extolled depending on what she thought they needed to heal them. She was truly an ever-present force in so many young lives.

Deb was born in Yakima Oct. 25, 1951, and raised on an apple ranch, the oldest daughter of Albert and Opal Waltman. She was an active Navy wife who lived in Oak Harbor until moving with her family to Southern Maryland in 1984.

Coupeville track team off to impressive start

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

After competing in only two contests this season, the Coupeville High School track team has posted some of the state’s best 1A marks.

Other Coupeville and Oak Harbor high school teams didn’t have nearly the success this past week.

The Wolves’ soccer team and the Oak Harbor tennis, soccer and softball teams all lost.

Coupeville shining in track and field Coupeville’s Makana Stone owns the state’s best 1A 400meter time (61.09) and the fifth-best in the 200 (27.17).

The girls 4x200 relay (Stone, Kirsten Pelroy, Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Grove, 1:52.69) is also tops in the state.

The 4x100 team (Marisa Etzell, Hurlburt, Grove, Pelroy, 53.13) has the state’s No. 2 time, while the 4x400 team (Etzell, Pelroy, Stone, Lauren Bayne, 4:31.31) is fifth.

For the boys, Latham Kelley holds the fourth-best 200-meter mark (23.83), and the 4x100 relay team (Jacob Smith, Jared Helmstadter, Dalton Martin, Kelley, 46.87) is eighth.

The small Coupeville squad did a nice job at the Port Angeles Invitation Saturday, March 21, as the boys placed ninth (32.5 points) and the girls sixth (51) out of 13 teams.

Sequim (114.5) won the boys meet, and North Kitsap (136) took the girls.

Coupeville earned first

places from Martin (boys discus, 114-02) and the girls 4x200 team (Pelroy, Grove, Hurlburt, Stone, 1:52.69).

“We had a good meet and a meaningful first weekend overall,” coach Randy King said. “No injuries and some good competition.”

King noted that Martin’s winning throw in the discus was far below what he has been throwing in practice and those longer marks will come out “before long.”

He also liked the work of Kelley and Jacob Smith in the sprints. Kelley was sixth in the 100 (12.09) and fourth in

the 200 (24.07); he also long jumped 18-01.

“Our javelin throwers, Mitch (Losey) and Grey (Rische), moved up their marks by about three feet, and our jumpers, Mitch Carroll and Connor Thompson, are doing well,” King added.

Among the girls, the sprinters are excelling, King said, and “Skyler Lawrence is doing well in the shot and discus, and our young throwers are making good progress in the javelin and disc.”

Freshman Lauren Bayne placed sixth in the girls 1,500 (5:49.69), finishing ahead of

Sylvia Hurlburt, shown here running the 100 meters in the Island Jamboree, has helped Coupeville post some of the state’s best relay times this season.

18 others, King said. “(It’s) also nice to see both our 800 runners, Abby Parker and Mattea Miller, get under three minutes,” he said.

Coupeville and Port Townsend go to North Kitsap at 3:15 p.m. Thursday, March 26.

In the title matches, Servatius defeated Treyvohn Jedlinski of Anacortes 9-7; McBride topped

Wednesday, March 25.

Bookstores work to survive in digital age Longtime stores in Langley, Oak Harbor experience varying degrees of success

By RON NEWBERRY

J

Staff reporter

osh Hauser is no stranger to the stresses that an increasingly digital world poses to her downtown Langley bookstore.

But instead of trying to wrap her arms around a threat that’s seemingly too big, Hauser chooses to focus on what she can control and often hugs a customer instead.

It’s all part of a personal touch that Hauser has provided for 43 years as owner of Moonraker Books, one of Langley’s oldest surviving businesses.

“We offer something that’s close to nonreplaceable,” Hauser said.

“We really are interested in people and interested in books.”

Providing customized service, a healthy stock and variety of new books and building long relationships with a loyal customer base have allowed Hauser to weather the storm during a time when many small independent bookstores and even large retail chains have suffered or shut their doors.

“I HAVE women with children with them saying, ‘That’s where momma used to sit on the floor when she was a little girl,’ ” Hauser said.

Adjusting to the times, Hauser said a large part of her business is custom-ordering books for her customers.

It’s an approach she and other small bookstore owners are taking to compete in a world where large online booksellers such as Amazon offer the convenience and speed of ordering and delivery without a customer leaving home.

This method helps the local bookstore, which orders through its book supplier.

“I think Amazon is a knee-jerk reaction now,” said Karen Mueller, owner of the Wind & Tide Bookshop in Oak Harbor.

“Very much what we do is very personal,” Hauser said. “I don’t care if Amazon says, ‘Hi,’ and my name pops up. It’s not the same as walking into a real bookstore and touching real books.”

MUELLER SHARES Hauser’s passion for books and believes strongly in the benefits of reading to children.

Josh Hauser has owned Moonraker Books in Langley for 43 years. She said a loyal following has allowed her bookstore to remain a fixture in the community.

Southeast Pioneer Way is a charming old building in an historic downtown.

A big difference, however, is Wind & Tide’s bottom line.

“We’re struggling,” Mueller said.

So much so that Mueller is grasping for answers and is questioning whether Oak Harbor wants the independent bookstore that has been around since 1967 in its community.

She said she realizes many other small businesses are struggling and that she’s not alone.

“I’d like to see it make it to 50 (years), I really would,” Mueller said of an anniversary that is two years away.

“I’ve tried everything I could think of out there.”

MUELLER’S SHOP, which she’s owned since 2011, offers new and used books, stationary and other items and has a seating area to read or hold small meetings. She hosts events for Whidbey Island authors and arranges other events specifically geared toward children.

She understands the conveniences of technology and popularity of digital devices such as Kindle but believes when it comes to young children, nothing replaces a real book being read to them.

“Maybe I’m old-fashioned and I don’t want to realize it,” Mueller said, “but reading to children never changes. They need to be read to.

It’s been proven that reading to a child helps their cognitive function throughout their whole lives.

“It’s critically important.”

MUELLER SAID she’s watched her bookstore’s sales trend downward year after year, “and I can’t trend anymore downward.”

She said her landlord’s reduced rent is the main factor keeping her business afloat.

“If I had to pay real rent, I’d be out of here in five minutes,” she said.

Mueller also started placing orders for customers through her book supplier with the promise of speedy delivery. She’s willing to try most anything to keep her bookstore afloat.

As a teenager growing up on Whidbey Island, she visited the Wind & Tide often and can still remember the smell of the store back then.

“I used to get in so much trouble reading every day,” she said. “I still read a book a day. I love being around books. It’d be disappointing if I didn’t own this store anymore. On the other hand, it gets to the point

HAUSER SAID the devotion of her customers both in the community and visitors from out of town have allowed her to stay in business.

She doesn’t offer a seating area, just a wide variety of books on display with about 10,000 in stock in the spacious, two-story building.

Her store also is open seven days a week and has three other employ-

ees.

“The bookstore industry is always a struggle, but I’m more than holding my own,” Hauser said. “There’s certainly room for improvement.

“I’m in a community where people are interested in books and in keeping a small-time bookstore alive, and that makes a big difference. These are people who truly want to support it.

“I really couldn’t do it without my loyal people.”

INSLEE VISIT CONTINUED FROM A1 Inslee pointed out that the Navy has generated $726 million into the local economy.

“That’s almost bigger than the sales at Toby’s Tavern,” he said jokingly, referring to the historic tavern on Coupeville’s Front Street.

Inslee said the military has an important economic role in the entire state that

isn’t always appreciated. He said he’s focused on helping people after they leave the military by making it easier to find jobs.

Inslee said he is the first governor in Washington state to create a military transition council and signed an executive order to set the employment of veterans as a top priority.

Inslee started the day

out at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and followed that with a tour of the Penn Cove Shellfish facility in Coupeville before going to Nichols Brothers in Freeland.

The governor said he was impressed with Penn Cove Shellfish, which employs 84 people and brings mussels from the water to “your dish” in just three hours.

“They have one of the greatest products anywhere,” he said.

However, he noted that ocean acidification is

already having an effect on the mussels and used the example to tout his carbontax proposal, which he said will fund transportation and education while making the air cleaner.

Inslee noted the thriving coffee roasters, wineries and a distillery on the island.

“It’s really fun to see the small, creative business that are going on here and across the state,” he said.

On South Whidbey, the governor met with company leaders and toured the

shipyard for about an hour.

Inslee said he stopped at Nichols because he wanted to check out the newest ferry boat being partially built at the shipyard.

He said he also wanted to see how state-funded transportation projects translated into real jobs.

“We want to see actual job creation in our state, and Nichols is a bright spot,” said Inslee, referring to the yard’s role in building half a dozen state ferries since the retirement of the steel electrics in late 2007.

The Chimacum is the latest of three 144-car Olympic Class ferries built jointly

by Nichols Brothers and Vigor Industrial in Seattle.

The hulls are fabricated by Vigor and the superstructures by the Freeland shipbuilder.

Construction of the 144car ferry began earlier this year.

Shepherded by an entourage that included CEO Gavin Higgins, Vice President Matt Nichols, and various company and state officials, Inslee was introduced to project team

leaders and yard workers.

One of those meetings was a reintroduction to an old friend: Fran LaFond, the yards’ storm water administrator.

The governor, LaFond and Nichols all attended school together as children.

After some reminiscing, which included Inslee asking why they looked so much younger than himself, LaFond led a tour of the company’s onsite water treatment system. It removes copper and other toxic chemicals in parts per billion, as opposed to parts per million.

The system is a source of great pride for the company.

“There’s no other shipyards doing this,” Higgins said.

Inslee was impressed, saying such investments in the environment are vital for salmon recovery and a cleaner Puget Sound. He said later it was a highlight of his visit to Nichols.

“To have one of the best systems in the world right here is something to be proud of,” Inslee said.

popular items from Albertsons — fried chicken and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, Osborne said.

There are no current plans in the immediate future to construct a new Safeway fuel station, she said.

Haggen is in its third week in Oak Harbor since opening March 6.

The company hosted a community meeting last Thursday night with nearly 200 people filling the Oak Harbor Yacht Club to learn about the brand and ask questions. Several members from small businesses and community organizations attended to gain information on establishing partnerships with Haggen.

“This is amazing,” said Clement Stevens, senior vice president of merchandising with Haggen, referring to the size of the crowd.

“You must have a tight-knit community.”

Clement Stevens, senior vice president of merchandising and marketing for Haggen, shares a light moment with a large crowd that attended the grocery chain’s community meeting at the Oak Harbor Yacht Club last Thursday night.

CRAIGSLIST AD CONTINUED FROM A1 Anyone browsing the personals on Craiglist in recent days may have come across Shorey’s posting. He’s up front about his predicament but asks interested women to send letters and photos to the jail.

If their photos are returned, he suggests the senders forward them to a state prison, in which he may be living for a spell.

Though he’s in the clink, Shorey’s search for a heart to steal is not taxpayer funded.

Inmates in the county jail don’t have access to Craigslist or even the Internet, according to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Wallace said someone else must have posted the information for

PASS DELAYS CONTINUED FROM A1 delays of up to 20 minutes, according to a Monday news release.

Maintenance crews will use under-bridge inspection trucks to clean and inspect the structure.

WSDOT said they will be working with City of Oak Harbor to inspect waterlines attached to the bridges during the closures.

“We know there’s never a good time to close

remodel and re-merchandising that started early this month and won’t be finished until May 22 when Safeway will host a grand re-opening in Oak Harbor.

“By May 22, the store will look and feel like a Safeway,” Safeway spokesperson Sara Osborne said.

The former Safeway store on State Highway 20 closed March 3 for conversion to a Haggen, which acquired 146 grocery stores in five states as part of a divestment process required by the Federal Trade Commission after Safeway and Albertsons merged.

The odd brand out in Oak Harbor wound up being Albertsons, mostly because Safeway has been a fixture in the Oak Harbor community since

Shorey.

Shorey, 35, made headlines on Whidbey Island last year after Island County Sheriff Mark Brown named him as “a person of interest” in the robbery last September of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton.

At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believe it was his voice they heard on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist, according to the South Whidbey Record.

The call is believed to have been

lanes of traffic,” said Bridge Preservation Engineer Harvey Coffman in the news release.

“But we hope that by combining our work with other groups, we will create less impact on drivers in the long run.”

Crews plan to work on weekdays only, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday, March 30, through Friday, April 10.

Work is expected to wrap up by noon each Friday.

During working hours, drivers will not be allowed to park on Pass Island, between the two bridges, according to WSDOT. “Cleaning the bridges improves the efficiency

1967, Osborne said.

Safeway will retain the Albertsons employees.

During next week’s closure, store shelves will be restocked with Safeway brands and a new IT network will be installed, allowing the store to accept and honor deals based on the Safeway club card, Osborne said.

Over the next two months, work will continue as Safeway will expand its floral section and relocate the pharmacy within the store, among other projects.

“We are keeping the pharmacy open and an access path will be made so customers can still get their prescriptions during this time,” Osborne said.

Safeway also will maintain two

intended as a diversionary tactic to lure deputies away from Clinton.

The bank robber wore a black mask, gloves and a camouflaged jacket over a black hooded sweatshirt. Brandishing a black semiautomatic handgun, the robber approached a teller and demanded cash and the keys to an employee’s vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

Shorey was arrested in Forks in October after allegedly burglarizing a bar there. He was then transferred to Island County, where he is

charged with two counts of burglary in the second degree; he’s accused of breaking into the Bayview Valero gas station twice last October.

Surveillance video in both instances showed a masked man stealing cigarettes, lottery tickets and other items.

Tattoos on the masked burglar allegedly matched Shorey’s, according to a deputy’s report.

No charges are filed in the bank robbery case yet. The prosecutor’s office hasn’t received a referral from the sheriff’s office.

of WSDOT’s rigorous bridge inspection program and ensures the maintenance and repairs extend the bridge’s useful life for years to come,” the news release stated.

The late-March maintenance project is not related to the larger summer paving project to start this July where drivers will experience full, overnight closures through September.

Contractors working for WSDOT for that project will take advantage of the March lane closures to inspect the asphalt on the bridge decks, WSDOT said.
