Council votes to clear Sleeper Rd. land

Timber will bring over $200,000 to city coffers

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The City of Oak Harbor may make more than $200,000 by clear-cutting unused property.

Members of the City Council approved a proposal last month to work with a forestry consultant to obtain permits to log two 20-acre properties that the city owns on Sleeper Road.

The consulting company, Cronin Forestry of Port Townsend, will also help the city prepare the timber sale contract for bidding.

Cronin estimated the value of the Douglas fir and “whitewood” on the property at about $228,000.

But because of the volatility of the softwood market, the lumber jacks may have to wait.

“When we originally did the timber values back in August, they have since gone down,” City Engineer Joe Stowell told the council, “and so our plan was SEE CUT, A27

Whidbey vintner got more than he bargained for when he survived the recent earthquake in Nepal during a Mount Everest ascent.

Eric Murphy, owner of Ott and Murphy Wines in Langley, was climbing Everest when the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal

around noon April 25, causing more than 150 people to be airlifted off the mountain.

While Murphy has been largely unreachable, even to family and friends, someone posted on the Ott and Murphy Facebook that day that he is “alright (sic) after the earthquake in Nepal. His team is at Camp I.” David Ott, Murphy’s business partner, said Monday that he pieced together a basic understanding of what happened by following other

Sailor attempting new feat to battle Parkinson’s disease

Petty Officer Michael McCastle warms up before he scales a 20-foot rope in preparation for his May 16 feat to raise money for Parkinson’s research.

McCastle, who attempted to break a world record for pullups last year, will climb the rope repeatedly to reach the height of Mount Everest, 29,029 feet.

INDULGE

Petty Of ficer Michael McCastle, who attempted to break a world record for pullups last year, will perform a new feat this month.

McCastle plans to climb a 20-foot rope the height of Mount Everest, a full 29,029 feet, or 1,450 lengths, starting at around 6 a.m. May 16.

McCastle lost his father to Parkinson’s in December just before completing another of his feats, flipping a 250-pound tire 13 miles. In response to that loss, McCastle is aiming to raise money through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

“I watched that transition from him being a normal guy to having the true symptoms,” McCastle said. “It’s a sobering feeling seeing someone I look up to degenerate due to the effects of the disease.”

The 20 pounds in weight he had to gain in mass for the tire flip feat needed to be lost again to make him as light as possible while still maintaining the strength needed to complete the rope climb.

McCastle said the rope climb presents new challenges than other physical tests he’s performed.

ogy between his physical battle and each cause to help keep himself motivated.

“The rope is representative of that battle, the need to hold on, to be fighting every day,” McCastle said. “I related it to that.”

Driven to join the Navy after Sept. 11, 2001, McCastle has been deployed around the world and is currently working in the air traffic control facility at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

McCastle’s feats are performed under the umbrella of his Twelve Labors Project, an effort based on the mythology of Hercules with the intention of inspiring people to challenge themselves and give to others. “ ‘Twelve Labors Project’ is a call for action. It is the personification of conquering our inner demons and anything preventing us from achieving everything we are capable of being.

“It’s about giving back through charity, standing for something greater than ourselves and challenging our physical and mental limits on the journey of discovering our life’s purpose,” according to the Twelve Labor’s Project website.

is a more personal experience not only because of the cause,” McCastle said.

First of all, he said he has “a little fear of heights.” In addition, in going all the way up, he needs to reserve the strength to come back down.

“I’ve had to dig deeper; it’s taken me to a darker place in my mind,” McCastle said. “The rope is unforgiving.”

Unlike the 50K run he’s completed for cancer research or the pull-up challenge, the rope climb involves the entire body, McCastle said.

“It’s a full-body ef for t,” McCastle said.

He expects the feat to take around 30 hours, which would mean 25-30 lengths per hour.

“I want to get done as soon as possible,” McCastle said.

To protect his hands and legs from rope burn, McCastle said he plans to use chalk, wear gloves and tape his shins.

During his attempt to break the Guiness World’s Record for the number of pullups in a 24-hour period last July, McCastle landed himself in the hospital for two days after 3,202 pullups.

In that case, McCastle said, the exposure the feat brought to the Wounded Warrior Project, for which he raised more than $10,000, was worth it even if he didn’t break the record.

Hospital critic running for seat

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

One of the biggest critics of Whidbey General Hospital leadership is hoping to join the team.

Greenbank resident and blogger Rob Born announced his intention to run for a seat on the hospital board Tuesday.

He will run for the position 2 seat currently held by Coupeville resident Georgia Gardner.

Gardner could not be reached for comment. Her district encompasses Central Whidbey, roughly from Hastie Lake Road to Bush Point Road.

Nancy Fey, the current position 4 commissioner, said she intends to seek reelection. Nobody has announced plans to run against her; she represents a district that encompasses most of the City of Oak Harbor.

Fey points out that the hospital is in the midst of major changes, with the hospital expansion on the horizon and a new CEO. “An interesting few years lie ahead,” she said.

Born said he will ask the tough questions that currently aren’t being asked.

He claims that the current board members are simply “rubber stamps” for the administration and that a dis-

senting vote hasn’t been cast since 2008.

“The question is whether I can accomplish anything,” he said, acknowledging that he would be just one of five votes.

“I know that I can do one thing, if nothing else. I can bring transparency to the hospital.”

Born said he, if elected, will encourage the hospital to make more information accessible to the public.

If that doesn’t work, he said, he will make the information available on his website, WGH Blogger. Of course, he said, that won’t include information protected by privacy statutes.

Born said he will also encourage the board to discuss issues and make decisions in public.

“If you don’t have a transparent government, you will continue to make the mistakes that Whidbey General is making,” he said. “A lack of transparency is what allows bad government to continue.”

Born isn’t the first person to criticize the public hospital for a perception that it isn’t open or transparent with the community, but he’s probably been the most vocal over the years.

He first became interested in the inner-workings of the hospital after reading stories about the former emergency services director Mark

Borden being forced out. He didn’t know Borden but felt the administration’s actions were cruel and unprofessional.

As a result, Born made himself into a gadfly in 2011. He started attending meeting, making public records requests and wrote the sometimesscathing blog, whidbeygeneralreformers.org He criticized the hospital on many fronts, from the alleged waste of taxpayers’ money to personnel issues.

One of his main concerns, he said, is the difficulty that the hospital has in retaining people, which he said is caused by the “poor working environment.”

He also criticized the Whidbey News-Times when he felt the newspaper wasn’t being tough enough in its coverage of the hospital district.

This year, Born re-launched the new website, wghblogger.com, which he hoped would become an interactive public forum on the hospital and health-care matters. He also writes about the hospital on a conservative North Whidbey website.

“If elected, I further promise citizens that I will work full-time-plus to impart common sense to the running of our precious, but troubled, public enterprise,” he said in a statement.

“Fellow Whidbey Islanders, you deserve and should expect no less.”

Skagit Cycle to join businesses on Pioneer Way

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Gary Santiago’s passion for cycling goes back to his childhood.

And what started as a “hobby sport” for him has turned into a 35-year career.

“He’s been in the bicycle business since he was 22,” said his wife, Bernie Santiago.

Today, the Santiagos are the owners of Skagit Cycle, with locations in Burlington, Anacortes and this summer, Oak Harbor.

Santiago said he’s long wanted to have a store in Oak Harbor and in recent years saw an opening for a bike shop in Oak Harbor.

“We saw a need for the market,” Santiago said.

The new shop will sell “all the hottest brands under one roof,” provide repairs and eventually offer rentals.

Santiago said he already has an ongoing relationship with Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and has periodically provided bicycles and repair services to the base’s recre-

ation center.

“We see there’s growth here,” Santiago said. “There seems to be a lot of positive things happening in Oak Harbor.”

The hope is to provide a local hub for Whidbey cyclists who currently travel all the way to Anacortes or Burlington for repairs, as well as draw in new cyclists.

“We have a really dedicated clientele,” Santiago said.

When deciding between locations on State Highway 20 and Pioneer Way, Santiago said he took everything under consideration.

Santiago said he was aware that Pioneer has historically struggled to maintain businesses long term.

He said that he was initially concerned that parking might be an issue and that the location may make it difficult for customers to unload their bikes.

However, the Santiagos said they believe in downtown Oak Harbor and want to support it.

“Any slight negatives would not deter us from moving into an old historic building downtown,”

Skagit Cycle owners Bernie and Gary Santiago stand outside the location of their new bike shop on Pioneer Way last week. The store is expected to open in June.

Santiago said.

He hopes to keep the building, known by most as the “old pawn shop,” as “rustic as possible.”

Ultimately, the Santiagos hope their Skagit Cycle shop in Oak Harbor will become a big part of the community and its events.

CELEBRATES National Nurses Week May 6-12, 2015

“That’s really important to us,” Bernie Santiago said. “We really want to have that community feel.”

They added that they’ve been encouraged by the community’s response and said the city has been “very accommodating.”

Another bike repair shop was

opened recently in Coupeville by former Island County sheriff’s deputy Mike Beech, who expressed concern that the Skagit Cycle shop may business from him.

Beech said he had originally planned to rent a retail space on Front Street but decided to “put the brakes on” and open in his garage until he could see how the market plays out.

Santiago said he doesn’t consider them as competition because “it all has a place in the bicycling industry” and that Coupeville’s cycling needs will likely be different than those of Oak Harbor.

“It’s all promoting cycling,” Santiago said.

The stores are different in that Coupeville Cycle and Sport will focus on repairs, rentals and selling refurbished bikes. Skagit Cycle specializes on higher-end bicycles and repairs.

Plus, Santiago said, “I would rather people come to one of us than go to a big box store.”

Public works upgrading its radio technology

County moving forward with tech upgrades

County leadership approved an interlocal agreement Tuesday that will allow the Public Works Department to communicate better during an emergency.

The agreement between Island County and ICOM will increase the number of radio transmission “towers” from two to seven, allowing additional clarity and range, according to Matt Nienhuis, Island County Public Works ER&R manager.

The five additional “towers” will not involve new construction, Nienhuis said, but new equipment will be attached to existing

structures.

The upgraded radio technology will be very similar to that used by Island Transit and emergency services and will serve as a backup network for the Island County Sheriff’s Department, Nienhuis said.

With only two towers available and spotty cell service, Public Works has had limited communication abilities.

“It will improve the dayto-day communications because of the clarity,” Nienhuis said. “It’s also important in an emergency; if a tower goes down, there’s more to rely upon.”

The county has leveraged a handful of funding sources to upgrade the Island County Jail HVAC and initiate county-wide energy efficiency upgrades.

Island County Commissioners approved the project at their April 28 regular session.

The final $480,000 was secured with a low-cost loan through a state treasurer program, according to Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow.

“By saving money (on energy), you’re able to pay the debt service,” Marlow said.

The total project cost of $1,514,500 comprises

the $480,000 loan, $74,325 in County Road funds, $538,790 in Real Estate Excise Tax, a $367,000 state Department of Commerce grant and $54,385 in Puget Sound Energy incentives.

The scope of work includes all labor and materials needed for the construction of a new HVAC system and lighting upgrades for the adult jail; lighting upgrades for the Coupeville campus parking lots, the district court building Oak Harbor and Camano Island road shops; and building control system upgrades for the juvenile detention center.

Since the economic downturn that started in 2008, Island County’s commissioners have bemoaned an inability to fund an upgraded website and other new technologies.

And they aren’t alone, according to John Kent, the county’s information technology director.

He said the county is not nearly as behind as was his former employer, the Seattle Art Museum, when he started with them in 2003.

In that case, Kent said he had the opportunity to replace the museum’s technology virtually from scratch, including its phone systems, website and network wiring.

“If you want to know about being behind,” Kent said. “I’m your man.”

Though on a slightly smaller scale, Kent said he hopes to bring the same technological advances and efficiencies to Island County.

Completing his first year in that role in May, Kent is finally seeing some of his work and planning come to fruition.

Technology upgrades included in the 2015 budget included $180,000 in onetime money for website development and engineering, content migration, and updated data protection software and equipment. The county also allotted $239,000 in ongoing funding for increased Internet capacity, a data management system and a SharePoint developer position. Kent is also in the process of hiring a database developer.

When he first came to Island County, Kent said his first priority was to “get an understanding of where we are” and dig into existing studies and background materials.

County leverages money for energy efficiencies

CORRECTIONS n A May 2 story, “City may raze old bank for sewer parking,” reported incorrect information about the assessed value of the bank property. The numbers that were reported were for personal property. The correct assessed value for the property is $5.2 million.

Pickard, though formerly an attorney, has since retired.

He said he relied heavily on feedback from the county’s technology strategy team, currently headed by Commissioner Jill Johnson.

“The technology at Island County is basically duct-taped together,” Johnson said. “It’s been a low priority for a long time. We tend to put money into personnel.”

However, Johnson said that the lack of technological upgrades has had a detrimental effect on how constituents interact with the county.

“It has an external citizen impact,” Johnson said. “People live their lives online, and we need to be able to deliver our services online. We’re just going to have to invest in technology and make it a priority for a while.”

The design phase began with a revamp of the county’s website. Kent said he will be seeking volunteers to test out elements of the site from home as part of the process.

Designed within intranet software

SharePoint, the new county website will allow each department to independently control their web pages, allowing them to be “more current more quickly,” Kent said.

The new website will include an opportunity for residents to fill out forms and make payments online, making it easier for far-flung residents — such as in Clinton or on Camano Island — to do business with the county.

“The idea is to open it up,” Kent said.

“As soon as they submit it, it would be available to the department and they can start acting on it.”

Island County’s storage capabilities were also expanded, the phone systems will be upgraded and speed of the county’s Internet will be increased, allowing the county to use cloud technology. n Anyone interested in volunteering to test the county’s website as they move forward with its redesign can contact the county’s department of Central Services at 360-679-7305.

IN OUR OPINION Filing week is near, time to make a run for it Greenbank resident and blogger Rob Born should be applauded for throwing his hat in the ring and running for hospital commissioner after criticizing the hospital’s leadership for years.

Born is a little gruff and may not win, but at least he will bring up tough questions that haven’t come to the surface in previous elections. Too often, hospital commissioners have run unopposed.

After all, it’s easy to criticize from afar. Leadership is much more difficult.

Filing Week, which spans five days from May 11-15, is the chance for all those who’ve dreamed of making a contribution, or fixing problems real or perceived, by running for public office.

It’s a big year in local elections.

The mayors in all three municipalities on Whidbey Island have announced they won’t seek reelection.

Councilmen Bob Severns and Jim Campbell have announced plans to run for mayor. But as things stand right now, nobody has come forward to challenge any of the three council members — Rick Almberg, Tara Hizon and Beth Munns — who are each seeking reelection.

With the debate over the sewage treatment plant heating up, it’s the perfect opportunity for people with different viewpoints to step forward and make a difference.

Other positions that will be on the ballot include three Coupeville Town Council seats, three Oak Harbor school board seats, two Coupeville school board seats and all five commissioner seats on the North Whidbey Park and Recreation Board.

There’s two seats open on the hospital board.

Born is running for the seat currently held by Georgia Gardner, who hasn’t announced whether she’s seeking reelection.

Nancy Fey, another hospital commissioner, said she does plan to run for reelection but has no challenger — at least not yet. She represents a district that includes much of Oak Harbor.

From the lowliest cemetery commissioner to the president of the United States, no elected position should go unchallenged.

For a democracy to work well, voters need to have options.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Commissioners

Voters elected Banks, but that didn’t matter

Editor, I am surprised and amazed that the Island County commissioners have not gone out and hired a private security company to police problem neighborhoods and a private construction company to maintain problem roads rather than fund the existing departments and offices that hold that responsibility.

Of course, with the police issue, they would be supplanting officers and taking responsibility from an official elected by the voters of Island County to represent them in that area.

So, how is this any different than what is taking place with the hiring of outside counsel to develop the growth management act for the county? The taxpayers of Island County elected Greg Banks to represent them, yet the commissioners and judges feel it is better to hire outside counsel to work up this important document that will impact the county and its citizens for years to come.

This document will be questioned and challenged many times during its

life, and the prosecutor’s office will be called upon to defend it and amend it when necessary. The outside counsel will work for two years, turn over the completed project and be on their way with $120,000 of taxpayer dollars.

Wouldn’t it be smarter to give the $120,000 to the prosecutor so he could hire additional help and have them be responsible to him and his office to develop a plan for Island County that will stand the test of time?

Shame on you, commissioners and judges, for playing so loosely with $120,000 of taxpayer money and failing to use the highly competent and skilled asset you have at your disposal, and never forget, you are also elected officials.

Robert E. Clark Oak Harbor

COER

Their best bet is to sell, move away

Editor, I am amazed that members of the Citizen of Ebey’s Reserve group write letters about their pain and suffering.

Don’t they realize that they are openly admitting that they had problems with their mental acuity long

before moving to Whidbey Island?

Otherwise, they would have had enough sense to research where they were buying their homes, discover the fact that they were living close to an already existing runway used by the U.S. Navy for training, and they would have been intelligent enough to read all the paperwork they signed at closing.

I think their best bet is to sell those homes and move away.

Since they have been proven to be liars on more than one occasion, I find their continued whining irritating.

Expecting the Northwest military theater to accommodate their mistake is childish at best.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

bers past and present.

Each year, the president makes a proclamation, reminding Americans of the important role the U.S. Armed Forces played in the history and development of our country.

After the parades and other recognitions of public service, challenge yourself to learn more about the military members and veterans’ service experiences and the value that they bring to our communities.

As citizens, we must recognize the important jobs our military service personnel are doing, and the fact that many of them are at serious personal risk in disaster response in the U.S. or deployed to U.S.-led humanitarian assistance or combat duties.

It is the military that defends us so that Americans and others enjoy a wonderful lifestyle, whether it be, for example, in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam or the Iraq wars.

Our forces in readiness not only shield us from hostile attack, but also provide disaster assistance when appropriate, and assets are available through the Air and Army National Guard organizations.

In addition to having earned our appreciation, our veterans and their families need our advocacy to assist in transportation to access veterans’ clinics and other services.

Join with others in your community in showing your appreciation of their services through personal contact, volunteering and donating to support organizations.

For information regarding veterans and military support programs contact Island County Veterans Services at 360679-4093 or 360-632-7328, Opportunity Council Veterans Services at 360-2409476, ext. 136, or Whidbey Veterans Resource Center at 360-331-8081.

Veterans Services claims officers

are available to assist 9 a.m. to noon Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at Opportunity Council, Family Resource Center in Oak Harbor.

Chapter Service Officers are available at the Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars, 3037 Goldie Road, 360-682-2945. VFW claims assistance is available 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays.

Island County Veterans Services and the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center are working together to establish VSO services and transportation options for South Whidbey veterans and their families.

Levy

New bleachers will be first of improvements

Editor, Thank you. On behalf of the students, staff and board of directors of the Coupeville School District, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to district voters for participating in the April 28 capital projects levy election.

Although we must wait until May 12 for final certification, it appears that the levy has passed with a 55 percent “yes” vote.

This is wonderful news for our students and for our community.

Work begins this summer when we will replace the gym bleachers. Levy funding collected in 2016 will support work on the heating/ventilation system in the middle school, track replacement and elementary school restroom.

Phases 2 and 3 will follow as tax revenues are collected in 2017 and 2018.

Levy campaign chair Ian Somes and his team of Shelli Trumbull, Christy Kellison and a strong group of task-

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS specific helpers were essential to getting the word out about the election.

Thank you for your work well done.

Oak Harbor residents cheer incorporation 100 years ago

City chose ‘theory’ that didn’t work with park

Editor, It strikes me that design charettes live and work in that perfect world of theory.

Everything is engineered to yield a project that will perform to the specs desired. It is as though the site is chosen, the hole is dug and now all best efforts go into fitting theory to practice.

So the city has begun forming the theory (engineering) to the site.

Measurements have deformed upward and estimates suggest a much higher price tag.

If this were a bond issue, all would — and should — come to a halt until solutions are in place.

Well, frustratingly enough, this city sewer project hasn’t been paused or stopped yet — it’s worse than that as the city doesn’t have a strong incentive to push costs down.

The ratepayer will be on the hook.

Unless the city reconsiders the scope or site, it appears those of us that pay our monthly water and sewer bill are going to get bent over, and it’s going to hurt.

The design charette group should be the first place where pushback occurs.

After all, it was in the design sessions that the sewer project failed to heed the original constraints of physical size and cost. They developed a “theory” that doesn’t fit the real world of Windjammer Park.

William Ferry Oak Harbor

n “Three cheers for incorporation!” That was the exclamation heard on every hand last Saturday as the News Extra edition was read on the street containing the returns within an hour after the judges had completed the count. The vote stood: For incorporation, 68; against incorporation, 27. The News believed there were a little more than 100 voters within the incorporated limits, but only 95 votes were cast. The first town council elected was as follows: Mayor, Jerome Ely; councilmen, H. Hulst, Henry Muyskens, H.T. Hill, Frank Stallman, J.R. Maylor; Treasurer, J.M. Pratt.

75 years ago

n Island County’s first music festival was accorded a complete success by the huge crowds which packed the auditorium of the Oak Harbor High School. The participants numbered in the hundreds. The evening program was divided, about half of it being composed of sacred music and half secular. n The report was being circulated that John Meeter kicked a golf ball with such force as to break his great toe. This was a false statement, Meeter averred, and claimed the injury was received when he dropped a 150-pound linoleum roller on the pedal digit.

50 years ago

n Island County escaped with little damage from the earthquake that violently shook the entire Northwest. One woman watched a coffee cup wiggle off the table and onto her husband’s lap as he read the newspaper. n New park code for Oak Harbor in the form of an ordinance was passed by the city council. The new rules adopted would prohibit removing, destroying or mutilating park property; letting animals run at large; shooting firearms or explosives; camping; building fires; and several other offenses.

25 years ago

n Worried that Coupeville was rapidly outgrowing its water supply, the planning commission recommended the town council adopt a building moratorium. The temporary moratorium would affect all buildings and land-use permits. n Coupeville High School swept the state History Day competition and brought home the “most outstanding school” trophy for the seventh consecutive year. n A large tree was knocked down by the wind and put out power, cable and telephone service to an Oak Harbor neighborhood. n Looking Back is compiled from the Whidbey News-Times’ archives as the newspaper celebrates 125 years in business and the City of Oak Harbor its 100th anniversary of incorporation.

The family lived in Oak Harbor, Wash., where she met Gordon Hamming and had three boys. After their divorce, Sue met and married the love of her life and best friend, Leo Mitchell, in 1968.

They loved hosting parties and barbecues for all the neighbors, family and friends.

Great stories and jokes always to be told, Sue being the brunt of Leo’s jokes at times, and later Ryan’s, she would let them have it, even though she loved it. Her

sense of humor was priceless.

Sue started her career in cosmetology and later in life went to work in accounting for Boyd Gaming, in Las Vegas.

There she met her good friends Carmen and Beth.

The potlucks they shared were always something she looked forward to.

Throughout their lives, Sue and Leo lived in Oak Harbor, Marysville and Everett, Wash.; Hamilton, Mont.; and finally settled in Henderson, Nev., in 1986. It was there they made many friends and shared fond memories.

Her husband, Leo; her brother, Michael; her father, Wilfred; and her stepfather, Frank, preceded Sue in death.

She is survived by her mother, Mildred (Millie); sisters Jodi and Maureen; brothers Lee and Raymond; her daughter Keva Jordan; her three sons, Greg Hamming, Mike Hamming and Troy Hamming; three stepchildren, Lea Guliuzza, Monte Mitchell and Tracy Brooks.

In addition, she leaves eight beautiful grandchildren along with seven beautiful great-grandchildren. Rest in peace, Mom. We love you.

round of the playoffs.

If Coupeville wins its first game, it will play Tuesday, May 12, at Charles Wright (time and opponent to be determined).

Conjuring up a little magic for Senior Night, the Oak Harbor High School soccer team whipped visiting Mountlake Terrace 4-2 Monday, May 4, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Sophomore J.J. Mitchell produced Oak Harbor’s first hat trick in five years, which was also the last time the Wildcats scored four goals in a match, according to assistant coach Jeff Laiblin.

The upset win over Mountlake Terrace (4-6-1, 5-8-2) was only the second victory in 15 matches for Oak Harbor (2-8-1, 2-12-1) this season, but kept Oak Harbor’s slim playoff hopes alive.

Harbor’s four seniors, started the scoring in the rain-soaked win over Mountlake Terrace with a goal off an assist from Andrew Franssen.

Then Mitchell took over, scoring three times. The first with an assist from Powers, followed by help from Alex Waner and Eric Jensen.

Terrace scored twice in the final three minutes to put some pressure on the Wildcats.

Thompson said his players might have “relaxed a little too soon,” and noted that he was playing some reserves at the time.

Thompson credited the high-scoring night to the “nice connections between our center-mids and forwards.”

It also helped, he said, that he was able to field his starting lineup for only the second time in a month.

“We finally got everybody back,” he added.

Charlotte Sheeter’s 100th birthday is celebrated in big way by visitors

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Charlotte Sheeter chuckled about all of the commotion over her birthday.

She sat in a chair inside an Oak Harbor senior living facility and was handed a special birthday hat to put on.

About 50 elementary school children began filing into the dining center as Sheeter and several other residents watched and waited.

“Am I the only one who lives to be 100 years old?” Sheeter joked.

Oak Harbor’s latest centenarian celebrated her birthday in grand style Monday at Harbor Tower Village.

Students from kindergarten through fifth grade from Oak Harbor Christian School visited Sheeter to offer handmade gifts and five songs, including a birthday tribute.

It was the second such occasion for Sheeter, who was sung to by the Oak Harbor High School choir two days earlier before she spent the evening with about 75 friends and family at a Chinese restaurant.

“She’s a very sweet lady,” said Helen Stimple, 95, a retired primary school educator who also resides at Harbor Tower Village.

“She’s a wholesome person.

We’re very fortunate to have her.”

Oak Harbor Christian School became aware of Sheeter’s impending birthday over the Christmas holidays when children visited to sing to residents at the senior living facility.

They returned in hopes to bring happiness to Sheeter and other seniors as part of sharing their faith and got a history lesson as well.

Some students became intrigued about Sheeter’s place in a historic dateline they’d been studying about U.S. history, what sort of clothes she wore growing up and the type of toys she played with as a child.

MaryBeth Eelkema, who teaches second- and third-graders at Oak Harbor Christian School, revisited many of these questions with Sheeter after the students finished singing.

“My mother made most of our clothes,” said Sheeter, who was born May 4, 1915, in a small town outside Dayton, Ohio. “She was a seamstress.”

Sheeter shared childhood memories about playing with dolls and

Sheeter, who’s from Dayton, Ohio, said she’s found it to be a good practice in life to try to be kind and fair to everyone.

Sheeter’s family used oil lamps for lighting instead of electricity.

She was in eighth grade before she purchased her first store-bought item.

Students were interested if she had any memories of stories her parents might’ve told her about the sinking of the Titanic, which happened three years before she was born, but she couldn’t recall any.

When she spoke about any secrets to longevity, she frequently

referred to her parents and a family that she said supported her decisions to help her stay happy and healthy.

“My parents were good to me.

That’s all I know,” she said. “My husband was good and my kids behaved.”

Most answers came with a large smile.

Asked to share any wisdom she has acquired all these years, Sheeter said she’s found it to be a good practice to be kind and fair to everyone.

Fittingly, Oak Harbor Christian School students practiced that

advice by their presence and singing voices.

“It was just surprising,” said Sheeter, who clapped along on occasion. “And I don’t think I’m worthy of all this. It’s been fun.”

“It brought tears to my eyes,” said Kathy Miller, a kindergarten and first grade teacher. “That was pretty amazing. You don’t get to go to a 100th birthday celebration.

That’s the first one I had ever gone to.”

Hazel Welliver, executive director at Harbor Tower Village, said she’s experienced three residents reaching 100 years old in her eight

years at the senior living facility and a fourth who fell only a few months short.

However, turning 100 doesn’t always equate to feeling that way.

“It just feels like I’m 50,” Sheeter said.

“It’s wonderful,” said Kay Meadors, 84, who’s also a resident.

“The Lord’s been good to her.”

Meadors said the children’s visit was very uplifting. After singing, students greeted and spent time visiting other seniors who watched from their chairs.

“I look forward to it,” Meadors said. “I just love them so much.”

Busy as bees

Wednesday, May 6, 2015 • Whidbey News-Times

C.Whidbey Hearts & Hammers carves out time for 17 projects

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

The last thing Dave Kelleher wanted to do was tangle with bees.

But after John Schisel got finished sawing through a section of siding and removed it, bees emerged from the exposed insulation, sending both general contractors scurrying for a can of insect repellent.

“It’s kind of a bummer,” said Kelleher, owner of Coupeville-based Kelleher Construction. “These bees are real docile. They’re nice bees, and we’re kind of short on bees.”

The trouble is, Kelleher and Schisel had work to do.

Lots of it. And time was short.

The two builders were among about 100 volunteers who participated in the Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers work day event Saturday.

Work crews rose for an early morning breakfast at

the Living Hope Foursquare Church in Coupeville then dispersed to 17 work sites scattered across the central portion of Whidbey Island.

Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers, formed in 2009 as an off-shoot to its sister organization on South Whidbey, is a nonprofit group that organizes an annual work day each May to help homeowners in need with small projects around their residences.

The organization helps those who have trouble doing the work themselves or can’t afford it.

“It’s helping my neighbors,” said Kelly Keilwitz, one of the original members of the Central Whidbey group and owner of Whidbey Sun & Wind. “I strongly believe in charity and goodwill starting on a small scale and working out — first with ourselves and then with our family and then with our community. And this is helping our community become closer

Dave Kelleher uses a board to pull out insulation to reveal a bees nest that needed to be removed from a mobile home at Terry Mobile Park in Coupeville Saturday. Kelleher was part of the Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers crew that replaced windows. together.

“Not only are we helping people who are disadvantaged, we’re getting to know our neighbors. And we’re getting to know our neighbors we’re working with and working for.”

Keilwitz led one of four

crews that took on projects at Terry Mobile Park in Coupeville.

Another was led by Schisel, one of several building professionals who worked alongside competitors in the construction business such as Kelleher for a common

cause.

Their job was to replace windows on a mobile home — and removing a bees’ nest.

“It’s a karma thing,” said Kelleher, who’s worked with Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers since it started.

“You just treat people the way

you want to be treated.”

The projects Saturday ranged from a roof removal, deck teardown and replacement, greenhouse repair, moss removal, stair repairs, yard cleanup and building a ramp for wheelchair accessibility.

We met 30 years ago in Toulon, on my last day of liberty. I was trying to change a franc note and instead found my best friend and life partner.

We have been Beauty and the Beast ever since, and if it’s OK with you, I’d like to go for another 30 years!

NEPAL

CONTINUED FROM A1 climbers’ online accounts.

Murphy’s “day job” is working as a senior guide for Alpine Ascents, Ott said, and primarily guides people up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania a few times a year.

During his recent Everest attempt, the earthquake disrupted the ice below the climbers between Camp I and Camp II, Ott said, essentially trapping them on the mountain. An avalanche also occurred at Base Camp, causing additional obstacles

BUZZ CONTINUED FROM A1 Boulevard and Highway 20.

A driver and a jogger both called 911 around 1:30 p.m. to report a swarm of honey bees clustering on the sidewalk near the Hot Shot Espresso stand, said Sgt. Bill Wilkie of the Oak Harbor Police Department.

“They covered the sidewalk and were lumped on top of each other,” Wilkie said.

and fatalities.

“They couldn’t cut a way through,” Ott said.

An Alpine Ascents staff member posted on their web page April 26: “I spoke with guide Eric Murphy early this morning and team is well at Camp I. At this time; the teams at base camp feel a route through the ice fall will be very difficult and thus we are looking to use helicopter transport to move our and other teams from Camp I to base camp.

“Though a few climbers have already been transported, Eric informed us that the heli transport on a large scale should begin tomorrow. We

have heard of life lost at base camp and of course we all share this loss with our fellow climbing teams — offering support and condolences as we can — to the climbing community and the larger community in Nepal.”

Ott said two helicopters transported around 160 people off the mountain two at a time.

“The events of the last two days are very hard to put into words. We are incredibly fortunate to be here, and are all relieved to be down, and that are (sic) whole camp and staff are alright (sic),” according to a later website post.

“Half of Base Camp (not our end) is destroyed, and many lives are lost. Most of our Sherpa have lost their homes, but fortunately no families lost any lives.”

While telephone and Internet connections were good prior to the earthquake, Ott said they have been lucky if they hear from Murphy every three days or so.

“It’s kind of dramatic trying to stay here and sell wine,” Ott said.

Langley resident Bob Frause and his son, Max, were stopped in Lhasa, Tibet, on their travels in the region when the earthquake hit.

Frause and his son returned to Kathmandu, where much of the destruction occurred, a few days after the earthquake and surveyed the damage, which included toppled buildings and broken infrastructure.

“Parts were OK, but other parts were wiped out,” Frause said. “It was really sad to see everything that was going on. And we got to see it up close.”

Despite the damage, Frause said he was impressed with the resiliency of the Nepalese people.

“Obviously they need a lot of help, but they’re self-starters,” Frause said. “They’re

doing what they need to get squared away.”

Alpine Ascents staff posted on their website that Murphy and the other guides will work to help rebuild the Sherpa villages “in the coming weeks, months and years.”

“Climbing Everest seems pretty trivial compared to the destruction, and loss of life that has affected this amazing region. It reminds us all that despite how much we may want to climb a mountain, the most important part is the human aspect.”

Dispatchers dialed local bee experts to deal with the swarm while the city’s public works department arrived with signs to keep the area clear.

It’s not unusual to see swarms of honey bees this time of year.

Spring is swarming season, said Paul Neumiller, a local attorney and hobby apiarist. When the weather warms and buds swell, honey bees get busy — and not just with eating all that pollen.

“They lay eggs and they start thinking, ‘Uh-oh, we’re getting too big for our house,’ ” he said.

The queen bee takes half her entourage and buzzes off in search of new home.

When honey bees are hiveless, they don’t have a honey supper waiting for them after a hard day of zzzzing. The swarm alights on something — usually a tree branch — and gathers around the queen in one football-shaped, wriggling mass.

The queen isn’t the strongest of flyers and needs to rest. Meanwhile, the scout bees do recon for real estate.

The vast majority of honey bees are females. The small number of male drones get kicked out of the hive every fall and likely weren’t part of the swarm, Neumiller said.

Neumiller is part of a network of Whidbey Island apiary experts whom people call on to remove swarms. He didn’t remove this one. When he does remove a swarm, he

dons a bee suit and then gets the queen bee into a cardboard box. If she’s on a tree branch, he’ll climb a ladder, gingerly cut loose the branch and place the roiling mass into the box.

“Hopefully, they’ll stay in there,” he said.

Once the queen is in the cardboard box, he’ll move the bees into a sturdier hive box.

Some of the bees will leave the box, turn their rears outward and fan the air. They’re sending a pheromone mes-

sage from the queen to all the stray bees in the air to let them know the location of their lady leader.

When the hive regroups and calms down after nightfall, he moves the hive to a permanent location.

Sunday, a few other local apiary experts showed up and got the queen placed into her temporary home.

Honey bees are docile and these ones didn’t reportedly sting anyone, Wilkie said.

CUT CONTINUED FROM A1 to be patient and wait for those values to go back up.”

Cronin’s original estimate of the timber harvested by clear-cutting was more than $300,000.

The City Council approved a professional services agreement with Cronin last August in an amount not to exceed $12,000.

Cronin presented estimated timber harvest values for clear-cutting the site, as well as the values for harvesting 50 or 75 percent of the trees.

In its report from December, Cronin explains that a clear-cutting permit will likely require a reforestation plan, even though the property will likely be sold to a gravel mining company.

Last October, Steve Bebee, the operations manager in public works, presented the city with a list of 21 vacant and unused city-owned properties.

The 40 acres on Sleeper Road were the largest and more valuable properties on the list.

The city purchased the two parcels at the corner of Sleeper Road and State Highway 20 in the early 1960s. City staff used the properties, which are across the road from a commercial gravel pit, as a source of unrefined gravel.

The parcels are wooded and rich in gravel, which make them potentially very valuable.

A number of city officials have proposed selling the properties and reinvesting the money into the city. One idea was to use the funds toward building regional ballfields, but no decisions have been made.

City officials decided to log the Sleeper Road property and recoup the value of the wood before selling the property.

The funds will likely be used to pay for the appraisal, which may cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Councilman Rick Almberg proposed at a workshop that the city mine the gravelly material itself in order to save the city from having to purchase fill materials that may be needed for construction of the new sewage treatment plant.

In the agenda bill for the council meeting, public works staff pointed out a professional geologist would have to be hired to do the complicated work of obtaining a mining permit and that funds for the work aren’t in the budget.

In addition, a large number of trees would have to be removed anyway if the city does intend on moving forward with obtaining a mining permit, according to city staff.

In the end, the motion to move forward with clear-cutting the property passed on a 6-1 vote. Only Councilwoman Tara Hizon voted against it.

Mother’s Day May 10, 12, 2015 2013

A Day Just For Mom

By Tresa Erickson, Creative Outlet

Every year as the second Sunday in May approaches, millions of people across the country turn their thoughts to Mom and find ways to let her know how much she means to them. Although it wasn’t always celebrated on the second Sunday in May, Mother’s Day has been around in some form since ancient times.

The ancient Greeks and Romans held a festival each spring honoring maternal goddesses like Rhea and Cybele. During these celebrations, participants would put on parades, play games and participate in masquerades.

Early Christians held their own festival in honor of the Virgin Mary. When the English took up the celebration, they expanded it to include all mothers and renamed it Mothering Sunday. On this day, individuals attended services for the Virgin Mary and then visited their own mothers, bringing them flowers, gifts and treats.

The popularity of Mothering Sunday had faded considerably by the start of the 19th century but remerged in the 1870s due to the efforts of activist and writer Julia Ward Howe. Howe thought there should be a day in honor of mothers in the United States. She introduced her idea in 1872, calling for the celebration to take place on June 2 and all mothers to take a stand against war. Howe had seen the devastation the loss of life in the Civil War had had on mothers everywhere.

Although many embraced her idea of a day for peace, the celebration of Mother’s Day as we know it today did not come about until the early 20th century when Anna Jarvis introduced it.

65

As a child, Anna Jarvis had heard her mother pray for a day dedicated solely to mothers, living and deceased, and honoring their contributions. When her mother died in 1905, Jarvis recalled her mother’s wish and started campaigning for a national holiday for mothers everywhere. She wrote letters to many leaders in her community and across the country and spoke about the matter at many functions.

By 1911, Jarvis’ efforts had paid off, with nearly every state in the country celebrating the day. Just three years later on May 8, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill into law, establishing the second Sunday of every May Mother’s Day. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in various nations around the world.

Spouses and children all over take time out to honor the mothers in their lives, and for that, Anna Jarvis and her mother would be thankful.
