Two suspended after inmate death

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said two corrections deputies are on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into possible department policy violations following the death of an inmate in his cell.

Corrections deputies reported finding Keaton Farris, 25, deceased in his jail cell at 12:20 a.m. Wednesday, April 8.

A detective with the Sheriff’s Office and the Island County coroner are investigating the death.

“We’ve reached out to the family,” Brown said, “and are doing what we can to release information to them as we can.”

Farris was being held on an identify theft charge out of San Juan County and was incarcerated at the Island County jail since March 26, 2015, according to the sheriff.

Because of ballooning costs, Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley announced this week that he wants to halt construction of the sewage treatment plant so that the proposed site can be reevaluated and possibly changed.

“I would rather do it right the first time instead of kicking ourselves for the next 50 years,” he said.

In response, Councilman Rick Almberg called the mayor’s proposal “a really stupid idea” and claimed the mayor lacks both leadership skills and an understanding of the process.

“This is serious stuff.

It’s not political playtime,” Almberg said, accusing the mayor of trying to turn the issue into a wedge as he runs for reelection.

THE DISAGREEMENT comes on the heels of a threehour, comprehensive council workshop on the status of the sewage treatment plant, slated to be built behind the former Whidbey Island Bank on Pioneer Way. The city purchased the building.

New details about the project came to light during the meeting.

Brian Matson of Carollo Engineering, the firm designing the project, outlined a series of reasons the estimated cost of the project increased drastically from the original in the facilities plan.

Carollo originally estimated the total cost at $79 million, including construction, outfall construction, land acquisition and “soft costs” such as design and engineering.

Group aims to save Garry oaks

Page A3

Oak Harbor women remembered for faith and musical talent

By JESSIE STENSLAND and MEGAN HANSEN Staff reporters

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Less than a quarter-mile away from Laura Renninger’s Oak Harbor home is an oddly shaped oak tree that holds special meaning to her family.

For most who pass by where 6th Avenue meets Quaker Street, the tree holds few distinguishing features in an area shaded by many more towering Garry oaks, but not to the Renningers.

“When our children were tiny, we’d pull them around in a little red wagon,” Renninger said, reflecting back two decades ago. “When we’d get to that tree, we’d call it the ‘turn-around tree.’”

It was a symbol to head back home.

Renninger’s family still talks about that tree as well as the fate, well-being and future of other oaks once so prominent in Oak Harbor that they were carved into the city’s name.

Wanting to take an active role in ensuring the trees’ continued presence in her hometown, Laura Renninger founded the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society, which recently held its first meeting and is looking to recruit more members.

The group’s mission is to preserve Garry oak trees in Oak Harbor through outreach, education and stewardship.

Already, the group is collaborating with the City of Oak Harbor and the Whidbey Conservation District with a tree planting event at an Oak Harbor elementary school on April 22 in celebration of Arbor Day. The group also is putting together a self-guided tour to showcase 21 “heritage” Garry oaks in the city, most of them on public land.

Members with the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society will start tying green ribbons on to those trees Monday, April 13, including tags that hold information identifying each tree’s significant features. The tags come down April 27.

The idea behind the tour is to pay tribute to the his-

Laura Renninger of Oak Harbor stands next to a Garry oak tree in her neighborhood that her family has identified with for two decades a­ s the ‘turn-around’ tree. She started a group to help preserve Garry oaks. Twenty-one ‘heritage’ trees will be tagged starting Monday for a tour. tory of Oak Harbor and the people who have been Garry oak advocates.

A map of the tour will be available at the Oak Harbor Library, Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce and Oak Harbor Senior Center.

The group also is conducting an ongoing Garry oak count within the city.

“She seems like a real gogetter in getting things done,” said Peggy Darst Townsdin, who also is a group member.

It’s all about being proactive and focused on a common goal while continuing the efforts of others in the past who’ve been passionate about Garry oak preservation in the city, Renninger said.

“We had a significant Garry oak loss in the last century and we will continue to lose trees in this century,” she said.

The city’s removal of a landmark, 330-year-old Garry oak tree a year ago in front of the post office had little impact on the formation of the new group, Renninger said.

The plan is to look toward the future, partner with the city and groups such as the

Oak Harbor Garden Club on re-planting efforts and educate youth about the importance of the iconic trees and their proper care.

The Pacific Rim Institute in Coupeville is another organization invested in Garry oak restoration efforts.

“I can see the day coming when there are no oak trees in Oak Harbor without making an effort to replant them,” said Oak Harbor’s Rick Chapman, who also has joined the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society.

Renninger, a registered nurse at Whidbey General Hospital, has been passionate about Garry oaks in her hometown since she was a

child.

The interest has carried on to her children. Her son recently pointed out to her about the poor state of a large tree in their neighborhood, tangled in ivy, which motivated her to form the group.

She said that anybody who is interested in the future of Garry oaks still standing — and those yet to be planted — should consider getting involved with the group.

“Oak Harbor is more than the marine and mountain views,” Renninger said. “It’s the trees.”

For those interested in contacting Renninger about the group, she may be reached at preservegarryoak@yahoo.com

Friends and family are mourning the loss of two Oak Harbor women who died Wednesday in a single-car accident on State Highway 20 in Skagit County.

Gail A. Wieldraayer, 59, and Lorna M. Wieldraayer, 84, were both seriously injured and airlifted to Harbor view Medical Center in Seattle, where they each succumbed to their injuries, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The mother and daughter lived together, said family member Tina Provoncha.

Lorna Wieldraayer was her grandmother.

“They pretty much went everywhere together,” she said.

They were longtime members of First Reformed Church and both musically talented.

“My grandmother sang in the church choir,” Provoncha said. “My aunt was amazing at the piano.”

Gail Wieldraayer ran Miss Gail’s School of Music for a while and was “always dabbling at teaching,” she added.

“They really were just two people who couldn’t live without each other,” Provoncha said. “We take solace that they are still together.”

Lorna Wieldraayer worked as a postal carrier for a number of years,

something she enjoyed very much. She was also sharp as a tack.

“She could probably still name everyone on her route,” Provoncha said.

“Everybody loved them — all their friends, family and church family. They touched a lot of people’s lives.”

Trooper Mark Francis said Gail Wieldraayer was driving a 2000 Ford Explorer east on the highway, went off the road on the right, struck a sign, crossed over Reservation Road, went through a ditch and struck a concrete wall surrounding a topsoil business. The collision was reported at 10:39 a.m.

Trooper Mark Francis said the highway was shut down for about 20 minutes so that the women could be airlifted from the scene.

He said the cause of the accident is under investigation. Both women were wearing seat belts and intoxication is not suspected.

An official day and time for services has not been set and may not happen for a little while, but the family will publicize the details when they are.

And while the family is still very much in shock, Provoncha said that spending Easter with her grandmother this past Sunday is something she’s very thankful for.

“It was nice to be able to spend that time with her,” she said.

Congratulations to the Whidbey News-Times Easter Coloring Contest winners!

SEWERS CONTINUED FROM A1 Of that number, $60 million was estimated for construction costs.

Earlier this year, Hoffman Construction Co., the firm hired for construction management, did its own estimate and came up with more than $113 million for the construction alone — not including the outfall, land acquisition and soft costs.

NOW THAT the project is at the 30-percent design phase, Carollo said he was able to do another, more accurate estimate and came up with $98.1 million. That’s significantly lower than Hoffman’s estimate, but more than 60 percent higher than the original number.

Matson attributes the higher costs to a combination of scope modifications and changes in assumptions about the site.

Carollo originally assumed costs for electrical, instrumentation and control at the low end, he said, but changed that to the high end after further analysis and discussion.

He said the site layout was originally thought to be between three and four acres, but is being squeezed into 2.5 acres to minimize impacts at Windjammer Park.

He said that increased the costs.

THE CITY originally planned on hauling “Class B” biosolids from the facility to Eastern Washington, but the city asked to have them calculate the costs of converting to “Class A” biosolids. Class A biosolids are more envi-

ronmentally friendly and can be spread on Whidbey Island, but at a significantly greater cost.

The original estimate didn’t include the cost of improving City Beach Street, extending Bayshore Drive for a block or building a 200-person training facility at the site.

Matson and City Engineer Joe Stowell said they are working on variety of ways to keep the costs under control.

The bulk of the project will be funded through rates residents pay for wastewater treatment.

Officials suggested some costs — such as the road improvements and the training facility — could be funded through alternate sources, which would lessen the impact on the fund and rates.

DUDLEY ARGUES that the cost escalation demands that the council “takes a step back” and look at alternatives. He said the council and he didn’t have all the information when they chose the site in the first place; he faults Carollo and tried unsuccessfully to get the firm removed from the project.

Dudley cast the deciding vote in favor of building the plant in the vicinity of Windjammer Park after the council deadlocked with a 3-3 vote; the other site was on the north side of Crescent Harbor Road, which would have meant expensive and ongoing conveyance costs.

Dudley said he will urge the council to pause the project and reconsider other sites — he points to property on Beeksma Drive owned by the Freund family.

Saturday, April 11, 2015 • Whidbey News-Times

Dudley concedes it’s unlikely the council will listen to him.

“They are going to build the wastewater treatment plant whether the community likes it or not,” he said, “whether the community likes the price tag or not and whether the community likes the site or not.”

DUDLEY ISN’T alone in his skepticism about the site. Island County Commissioner Jill said she’s never been sold on the downtown location.

“I understand they’re on a time schedule, but they chose the wrong spot,” Johnson said.

Almberg points out that Dudley is running for reelection this year against Councilman Bob Severns.

Almberg voted for the other site and warned against escalating geotechnical costs, which turned out to be the case.

Nevertheless, he said the mayor’s proposal to look at other sites is a bad idea, especially after the city went through an extensive public process and invested $4 million so far into the project.

“It would be incredibly expensive for the community if we have to start over,” he said.

ALMBERG ALSO pointed out that the city needs a new wastewater treatment plant no matter what and there’s a timeline that needs to be followed, or the city may face a state-imposed sewer hook-up moratorium that could bring construction in the city to a standstill.

That, he said, would have profound economic effects.

Even though students were all off on spring break, Coupeville School District buzzed with excite-

ment this week.

A swarm of honey bees took refuge outside the district office near a post and fire hydrant.

Staff members saw a big, wide swirl of bees in the air, said Janet Wodjenski, administrative assistant for the superintendent’s office.

“It was amazing,” she said.

“It was like a huge cloud.”

Once the bees landed, district maintenance staff was contacted. They were unsure, however, how to handle the swarm.

“So I Googled ‘Whidbey Island bees,’” Wodjenski said.

Finding a webpage for Whidbey Island Bee Keepers, Wodjenski contacted Keith Turner from the group who came to gather the swarm.

KENNER AND and Almberg said a change to the project could also jeopardize state funding. State Ecology’s “draft offer list,” yet to be finalized by lawmakers, includes $5 million in a “grant and forgivable loan” and $15.6 million in very-low interest loans.

Finance Director Doug Merriman discussed the state money during the workshop and explained how it could have a significant and positive impact on rates.

Severns said he wants to hear Dudley’s proposal, but is doubtful that it makes financial sense. He said the city looked into the Freund site and found it isn’t suitable because it’s below the flood plain.

Severns said he agrees that the project needs “better management,” which is why he called for the workshop and updates at every council meeting.

“I think we can get a better handle on the costs if we manage better and as long as we take a harder look at all the costs.”

Krista Kenner, a spokesperson for state Ecology, said the city has a permit for the project that expires in August 2016. She said the DOE will work with the city in early 2016 on a renewal.

She emphasized that the current location was chosen after a lengthy public process and that starting over could set the process back years.

That could represent a permit violation that potentially could come with consequences, she said.

“He said they are usually very, very calm,” Wodjenski said.

Turner used a bucket and his hands to gather the bees.

According to the group’s blog, bees collected will be used by the bee keepers to generate honey.

Turner couldn’t be reached for comment by press time.

CONTINUED FROM A1 connector buses would be easier, the officials said.

The Island Transit board is scheduled to discuss the future of the other connector Monday morning.

The state funding for the Tri-County connector, or Route 411, may end this summer as state funding dries up; the route links Oak Harbor to March’s Point in Skagit County.

Board members are considering funding a skeletal version of the route with the agency’s limited funds.

Johnson said she hopes

the funding for the Everett connector could free up some money for the 411 route.

Johnson suggested that the routes could be configured so that the 411 route off Whidbey could be considered part of the Everett connector; if that would work, some of the state money could be used to support the 411.

As for Camano, Hayes said the return of the connector service will be very welcome.

“The folks over on Camano don’t have a lot of commuting options,” Hayes said. “This helps keep cars off the road and gives the people the ability to get to Everett.”

Whidbey graduate stops truck thief from boarding jet

Photo provided

A three-car accident on the Deception Pass Bridge delayed traffic in both directions Thursday evening.

A Whidbey graduate made headlines last week after stopping a truck thief from sprinting onto a jet loaded with passengers in New York.

Sam Strausser, whose parents live in Clinton, is credited with grabbing and restraining the man until authorities arrived. The incident occurred April 3 According to a report in the New York Post, Claudio Duran, 20, stole a truck and ditched it outside JFK International Airport. He ran past a TSA checkpoint yelling, “I’m Pablo, I will be famous.”

Duran ran a quarter-mile past security before being stopped by Strausser, the Post reported.

Strausser said he didn’t know there was a security threat until he saw Duran running toward him on the jump bridge, which was connected to the jet.

Strausser said he acted instinctively, first grabbing the man and then tackling him against the wall. Strausser held Duran until law enforcement arrived nearly 5 minutes later.

With Strausser as its pilot, the early-morning flight was scheduled to leave for Phoenix, Ariz.

Strausser, a 1993 South Whidbey High School graduate, lives in Arizona with his family.

He said it was the first time he ever had to restrain someone in his eight years as a commercial pilot.

Crash backs up bridge traffic A three-car accident on the Deception Pass Bridge delayed traffic for about an hour Thursday evening.

Washington State Patrol Officer Mark Francis said the accident occurred at 5:50

DEATH CONTINUED FROM A1 Brown said Farris was by himself in a “safety room” at the jail when he died. The room is different than the “blue room” or behavioral modification room at the jail and more like an ordinary cell, the sheriff said.

Farris was living on Lopez Island and graduated from high school there but attended Coupeville High School during his sophomore and junior years. He was on the track and football teams.

Ken Stange, Farris’ former English teacher, described him as “a personable guy who had a certain magnetism about him.”

p.m. when a car stopped for traffic. The car behind hit the first car and a car behind the second car hit it, according to Francis.

No injuries were reported.

“Although I didn’t know him too well, it was obvious that he was passionate about sports and the people he cared about,” he said. “Damn, that kid was fast, even in the hallways.”

Online court records show that Farris was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail and ordered to be evaluated by Western State Hospital for competency to stand trial.

“We appreciate everyone’s desire for more meaningful details and we will make every effort to keep the community informed while balancing the interests of the family and the employees,” Brown said.

“Perhaps most important we wish to turn the focus back toward our heartfelt sympathy for the families and friends who are suffering from this unfortunate loss.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jet noise

My advice to these people is to LIOLI, meaning like it or leave it.

COER critics not in the majority

Bill Engle Ebey’s Prairie

Editor, I live on Ebey’s Prairie, directly under the northwest corner of the OLF flight pattern. I built this home in 1975 knowing OLF Coupeville existed at its present location.

I well remember when the field was constructed because, in 1943, our country was at war.

We needed it then as well as now.

One does not have to be very smart to know that if you live in the vicinity of an airport, you might encounter aircraft noise from time to time.

I agree that the new Navy Growlers are louder. I guess this means that the sound of freedom costs a little more.

The noise from the Growlers does not bother me as much as the antiAmerican members of COER. Most of these Johnny-come-lately people have moved here knowing that OLF existed. How could they not know or care what it takes to keep our country safe.

I know some of these people have never spent one hour or day of their lives serving in our armed forces to protect our freedoms.

I thank and salute our past and present men, women and crews who train at OLF and around the world to keep our country safe.

I sleep just fine at night when the Growlers fly over, knowing they are not the enemy.

Readers, please understand that every time an anti-American member of COER speaks out that it is not from the majority of the people from Ebey’s Prairie.

DNR head was ‘bamboozled’ Editor, At last week’s Town Hall in Coupeville, we once again heard the over-the-top Citizens of Ebey’s Reserves falsehoods and their outright cheering for OLF closure and Growler relocation, which would close Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and throw 30,000 people into unemployment.

Several key points: n Congressman Rick Larsen fully supports the Navy; n Larsen is working with the Navy relative to noise mitigation and cited the Navy as a good neighbor for several mitigation tasks; n Larsen correctly stated that the Navy has used the National Forest for training already and the additional training is minor in scope – but that the science will play out in the NEPA process n A Dugualla Bay resident stated that they receive more noise than OLF — about twice the FCLP — and that there are virtually no issues.

That is true — as a board member of the Dugualla Bay community.

What is this really about? COER and the Port Townsend elites despise the Navy and have no regard for the 30,000 jobs that employ most of Island County.

Everyone sees them for what they are. Their heroes are former Al Jazeera reporters who also despise the military and write hit pieces cloaked as “science.”

Shameful.

Now, will the DNR commissioner come around and realize that he was bamboozled?

So were the Barringtons and many more, long before the Japanese made it necessary for the Navy to move in. That act, in December 1941, led the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Army Air Corps to move into many places that weren’t used before by the military.

The events of Sept. 2, 1945, justified the expansion.

Long before the Newkirks, Barringtons and others settled on the lovely island of Whidbey, there were other settlers living here, the Native Americans.

When the Barringtons, Newkirks, Fakkemas and others decided they had a better use for the land others had used for hundreds or thousands of years, the

really early settlers had to move.

The white man believed they had better use for the land.

Treaties were signed allowing the Native Americans keep a small amount of land, while the newcomers took the choice areas.

Then, when the newcomers found the Native Americans still had choice land, they voided past agreements and again took the property.

That looks a lot like the events on Whidbey Island.

The newcomers took over from the original residents.

Now there is a new demand for some of the land. The group that took the land from the original residents is beginning to feel what it is like to have something that others want.

Some of my family fell victim to government needs of land. The dams on the Tennessee River flooded out some of their property. A section of the interstate highway went over some of each property, causing loss of grazing and farming land.

That loss of private land

provided flood control and electric power to many.

The interstate made it easy and faster to travel in Eastern Tennessee.

But I don’t think the people that lost their land felt that way.

Autism

Early intervention services are crucial Editor, Toddler Learning Center would like to express its appreciation of the article written by the Whidbey News-Times regarding the Stuart family, autism and the importance of early intervention.

We are grateful for our ability to provide early intervention services for Whidbey Island families for the past 29 years and are honored to have the ability to continue.

Federal, state and county funds are 80 percent of our revenue. Before such funding existed, and to this day,

our ability to provide best proactive intervention services on Whidbey Island is due to the dedication and support of our staff and community.

Twenty percent of our funding is achieved through organizations such as Island County United Way, Island Thrift, NAS Whidbey Officers Spouses Club, Northwest Children’s Fund, church organizations, individual donations, annual auction fundraiser, Lions Club, Rotary Club, Soroptimist, Whidbey Island local businesses, inkind donations, grant writing, volunteer hours, medical insurance, family private pay and Skagit Valley College.

On behalf of the board and Toddler Learning Center, I would like to express my deep appreciation to these organizations and the community for their vital support in helping to provide the services children and families need for optimum growth and development.

GETTING OFFENSIVE

Page A9

Wildcats, Wolves pile up runs to pick up wins this week

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Strong offensive showings carried the Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school softball teams and the Oak Harbor baseball team to wins this week.

The Wildcat softball squad won 10-4 at Maryville Getchell, and the Wolves dumped visiting Concrete 9-7 Tuesday, April 7.

The baseball team’s offensive firepower was fleeting, however. Tuesday, the Wildcats clubbed five extrabase hits while winning 10-6 at Everett; then, when the two teams met a day later in Oak Harbor, the Wildcats lost 2-1 in nine innings.

In other prep action this week, the Oak Harbor soccer team fell 3-0 at Shorecrest Wednesday.

Oak Harbor gets first softball win

Coupeville rallies past Concrete

A four-run seventh inning helped Oak Harbor secure its first win of the season.

The Wildcats led 6-1 going into the seventh inning, and the four additional runs helped withstand a three-run rally by the Chargers (0-5, 1-6) in the bottom half of the inning.

Three walks loaded the bases for Oak Harbor in the seventh, then Taylor Heidt drove in one run with a ground out. Alexa Findley followed with a two-run double, then Tricia Sarns lofted a sacrifice fly to plate the fourth run.

The run scoring started early for Oak Harbor with an RBI single by Kelly Findley in the top of the first inning.

The ’Cats took advantage of MG’s wildness in the third inning, scoring four runs with the help of three walks, two hit batters and several wild pitches.

In all, Oak Harbor received nine walks and three hit batters.

Kelly Findley led the offense with two hits. Heidt, Sydney White and Sam Payne all added singles.

Tricia Sarns had three RBI and picked up the pitching win with a three-hitter, striking out eight.

Shorewood (0-5, 2-5) visits Oak Harbor (1-4, 1-6) at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 14.

After the Lions’ scored three runs in the first inning, Coupeville came back with two runs in the bottom half.

Singles by Lauren Rose, Tiffany Briscoe and McKayla Bailey loaded the bases, then a base hit by Hailey Hammer and a walk to Hope Lodell drove in runs.

The Lions added a run in the third, and then the Wolves rallied for four runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good.

A walk to Katrina McGranahan and two errors produced one run, then Monica Vidoni blooped a run-scoring single for another. Jae LeVine put down a

bunt that scored Bailey, and Briscoe walked with the bases loaded to force in the fourth run.

Coupeville made it 8-4 with two runs in the fourth. Bailey reached on an error and Hammer bounced a double over the centerfield fence.

Vidoni slugged her second RBI single, which was followed by an error that scored the second run.

Coupeville scored its final run in the bottom of the sixth.

Hammer ripped another double and eventually scored on Vidoni’s groundout.

Hammer, back after missing the previous two games with an injury, finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI. Rose, Briscoe, Bailey and Vidoni all added two hits; and

Vidoni had three RBI. LeVine also had a hit and RBI. McGranahan pitched a complete game for the win.

Coupeville (1-0, 2-4) returns to conference play when Chimacum (0-0, 2-2) visits at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 16.

Baseball team splits with Everett The Wildcats flexed their muscles in the first inning of the first game with three extra-base hits. Kevyn Johnson opened the game with a triple, and Brent Mertins singled him home.

Tyler Snavely and C.J. Meders followed with RBI doubles.

After Danny Wolfe and

Quentin Tungate walked, Sean Erskine’s fielder’s choice scored one run, and Johnson ripped his second hit of the inning, a two-run single.

Two walks, singles by Snavely and Meders and a triple by Robert Herring plated four runs in the sixth.

Only one of Everett’s six runs were earned off starter Snavely.

Meders went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI. Snavely was 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and RBI. Johnson had two hits, including a triple, and scored a run.

In Wednesday’s extrainning game, Everett’s Bryant Greene ripped a twoout, two-strike single down the left field line to drive in the winning run.

Oak Harbor left eight and Everett nine men in scoring position in the game.

Oak Harbor starter Wolfe cruised through the first five innings, allowing only four base runners as his defense turned three double plays.

In the top of the sixth, Everett scored the game’s first run on two walks and two singles.

In the bottom of the sixth,

Chris Trisler walked with two outs. Courtesy runner Bertram advanced on a single by Tungate and scored on a wild pitch.

Everett (1-2, 2-4) opened the ninth with a double off reliever Johnson. Johnson came back with a pair of strikeouts, but Greene followed with his game-winning single.

Oak Harbor (in the seventh and ninth innings) and Everett (in the eighth) had a runner at third with one out but failed to score.

“It’s a way to fill up the gallery to create some new work and new interest in the gallery with the hope to drive people in to take a look,” Livermore said.

The three guest artists are all from Whidbey Island whose works have gained local and wide-range appeal.

The guests are watercolor artist Larry Mason of Oak Harbor, basket weaver Mary

Alice Sterling of Coupeville and wildlife photographer and painter Bart Rulon of Greenbank.

Mason, a retired architect from New York City, has traveled extensively to paint and has had his art shown nationally at galleries in California and Oregon as well as in other shows in New York, California and in the Puget Sound region.

Rulon is a full-time wildlife and landscape artist, book author and illustrator. His paintings have been widely exhibited in galleries and museums in several countries featuring wildlife and landscape art, and his photographs have appeared in various books and field guides.

Sterling’s work is known more locally. Her baskets offer a new wrinkle to the gallery, Livermore said.

“Not many people on the island do basket work,” Livermore said.

“We collectively have been wanting to bring the art of woven baskets to the gallery for a while now, so it’s pretty exciting to finally have them here,” said Kim Niles, a cartoonist and Garry Oak Gallery member.

The works of Sterling and Mason already are on display at a downtown gallery and will be shown through June 30.

Rulon’s art will be featured from May 1 through July 31.

50th ANNIVERSARY VIETNAM WAR COMMEMORATION LOCAL EVENTS APRIL 12-17

Seattle and Washington State have an unusual role in the Vietnam War Commemoration, a national initiative to thank Vietnam veterans a half century after the United States rapidly escalated its deployment of troops to South Vietnam following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Many of the troops who returned home were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts received.

Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent who authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once... And Young” (adapted into the 2002 film “We Were Soldiers”), is in Seattle for a week of interviews with local Vietnam veterans. He will speak at Seattle Rotary’s noon luncheon April 15 and will be featured at a breakfast interview session at the Columbia Tower Club on April 17.

The Vietnam War Commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in states, cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.

The partners’ program is designed for state and local communities, veterans’ organizations and other nongovernmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families.

To learn how to become a part of the 50th Vietnam Veterans Commemorative, communities may seek information or apply to become a Commemorative Partner by going to: www.vietnamwar50th.com/commemorative_partners/commemorative_partner_program

Vietnam author Galloway to visit Seattle Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent whose book “We Were Soldiers Once… and Young” and the movie “We Were Soldiers” that was produced from it, will be in Seattle doing a week of interviews with Vietnam veterans as a special project for the 50th Anniversary Commemorative.

Galloway has been going around the country doing three two-hour interviews a day with Vietnam veterans from across the services spectrum and by now has well over 75 two-hour interviews done, as he explained it, “beginning with Colin Powell and working outward.”

Galloway was a Texas boy who became a correspondent for United Press International and, in the battle of Ia Drang that his book and its movie adaptation made famous, he was decorated for heroism on the battlefield, receiving the bronze star for rescuing two wounded soldiers while under fire. He was praised by the late Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf as “the soldiers’ reporter” because of his caring and regard for those whose battles he covered.
