Bracing for delays at Deception Pass State projecting bridge closures over five nights

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The water under Deception Pass Bridge may run uninterrupted during construction next month, but vehicles on the bridge itself

won’t be so lucky.

Starting in June, commuters on both sides of Deception Pass bridge should prepare for delays and inconvenience resulting from construction along State Highway 20.

The state Department of Transportation project includes five nights of complete closure of Deception Pass bridge in addition to two months of paving along Highway 20 that will limit traffic to one lane.

An assistance program facing eviction from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station has found an ally in U.S. Sen. Patty Murray.

Murray is reaching out to the secretary of defense in efforts to prevent the closure of the Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, program on NAS Whidbey.

The WIC program is among non-military entities that have moved, or are being moved, off base.

“I continue to hear from constituents on Whidbey Island about the impact the closure of such an important facility will have on service members, MURRAY their spouses and their young families,” Murray said, “and as someone who has fought for years to increase families’ access to WIC, I find it absolutely unacceptable to impose any new barriers to this critically important program.”

The federal government decided to stop paying for non-federal agencies to use buildings on base rent-and-utility free as a result of a recent Government Accountability Office finding.

In her letter to the secretary of defense, Murray noted with dismay the large number of military families who rely on WIC. “I know you agree our service members have sacrificed much for our nation,” Murray said. “It is deeply troubling that many military families have to rely on a

“It’s going to be a mess,” said Island County Public Works Director Bill Oakes. “They’re doing a lot of things to minimize it, but I want to get as much info out there as I can.”

“Full closure of the bridge is a big deal.”

State orders Oak Harbor naturopaths to cease practice

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Two natural health practitioners who were arrested in recent months by Oak Harbor police have been ordered to stop practicing by the state Department of Health.

Arely Jimenez and Clarence Hugh Jonson were both ordered May 11 to “cease and desist the practice of naturopathy pending further legal action.”

Both associated with Whidbey Naturals Alternative Medicine, which opened an office in December

on State Highway 20.

Jimenez and Jonson advertised themselves as “Board Certified in Naturopathy” on their website, even though neither Jimenez nor Jonson have ever held a credential to practice as a naturopath in Washington state, according to the Department

of Health.

Island County Chief Criminal Prosecutor Eric Ohme said he will likely file charges against Jonson and Jimenez soon, but that the pair is still under investigation.

Jonson treated a patient for chest congestion and prescribed antibiot-

ics, the DOH alleged.

The Whidbey News-Times reported that Jonson has a criminal history and a history of legal run-ins in the state of California.

California has accused Jonson of

CONTINUED FROM A1 program to provide supplemental healthy foods in the first place.”

The base office serves more than 800 service members, spouses and dependents who qualify for assistance and whose services may be displaced.

Community Action of Skagit, which administers the program on base, is facing the tough choice of either moving its office off base or passing its clients along to other agencies.

“I’ve very tough,” said Wende Dolstad, the base’s WIC coordinator. “We’ve build up a tremendous relationship with the people we serve.”

The office’s current location on the Seaplane Base is located near the military’s FOCUS program, which supports family resiliency, and the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, which provides financial assistance and education.

“The base families feel safe coming because we’re on base and then they get all these wrap-around things,” Dolstad said.

The idea of opening an Oak Harbor office is still “on the table” Dolstad said, but her agency will need to make a decision before their Sept. 30 deadline.

If they decide to close, the state would reallocate the funding to one or more nearby WIC offices including the one run by Island County Public Health in Oak Harbor, as well as programs in Anacortes and Mount Vernon.

Murray is asking Secretary Ashton B. Carter to ensure the Department of Defense arranges longterm space for the WIC office on NAS Whidbey.

Meanwhile, Dolstad said, the Seaplane Base office will continue to provide full services and facilitate a future transition when necessary.

“Although we are hopeful that this intervention will allow the WIC office to stay on base, the office will coordinate with the state WIC program to transition current WIC clients to an off base office as necessary in the fall,” Dolstad said.

Third candidate files for hospital board seat

Feds sue Deep Sea owner for cleanup

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Rory Westmoreland is out of jail after serving 75 days earlier this year, but his troubles are far from over.

The former owner of the Deep Sea crab boat — which burned, sank and spilled fuel in Penn Cove — is facing another lawsuit.

This time, a team of lawyers for the federal government filed a complaint against the Renton scrap-metal dealer in U.S. District Court, demanding reimbursement for clean-up costs in excess of $2.79 million.

The lawsuit was filed May 11, one day shy of the threeyear anniversary of the calamity that spilled 5,555 gallons of diesel fuel and forced the closure of Penn Cove Shellfish for a month.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which reimburses agencies for the cost of spill-related cleanup.

In January, the state Attorney General’s Office, representing the Department of Natural Resources, filed a lawsuit against Westmoreland in Island County Superior Court.

The suit aims to recoup costs $1.2 million in costs incurred in disposing of the

vessel.

The Department of Ecology last year fined Westmoreland $301,000 for the oil spill that resulted from the Deep Sea sinking.

The Island County Prosecutor’s Office also got into the action, charging Westmoreland with vessel abandonment, a misdemeanor crime. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 75 days in jail and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.

Deputy Prosecutor Chris Anderson laid out the background of the environmental mishap in a sentencing memorandum.

Westmoreland, the owner of Northwest Steel & Recycling, purchased the 141-foot, steel-hulled crab boat from the Port of Seattle for $2,500 in November of 2011.

Instead of taking the boat to dry dock, he had it towed to Penn Cove, where it was illegally anchored in state-owned tidelands in December of 2011.

The state Department of Natural Resources first contacted Westmoreland in January 2012 and informed him that he either needed to remove the vessel or obtain authorization to keep it moored in Penn Cove.

In March 2012, the DNR sent Westmoreland a notice of trespass that stated he would be fined for every day

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Westmoreland he failed to remove the vessel.

On the night of May 12, 2012, the Deep Sea caught fire in what was later determined to be arson. It sank to the bottom and spilled fuel.

The DNR contacted Westmoreland, who said he did not plan on taking responsibility for raising the vessel, but suggested that it be left on the bottom of Penn Cove. He said he did not know how the fire started but said he thought it might have been “kids playing with matches,” the memorandum states.

Anderson noted that Westmoreland was never charged with arson in connection with the burning of the Deep Sea. After the Deep Sea disaster, state lawmakers toughened the laws regarding derelict vessels and the state’s response.

A third candidate entering the race for a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner seat means it’s headed to the primary election Aug. 4.

Rita Drum, a rural Oak Harbor resident, became the third person to file for position 2 on the hospital’s board of commissioners.

She will go up against incumbent Georgia Gardner and hospital blogger Rob Born in the primary, which will narrow the candidates to the two top.

Drum came to Whidbey a

year ago after retiring from an East Coast career in the medical field.

She was a pathology assistant and a histotechnologist at a hospital; she said the job required her to interact with just about all the departments, so she has a good understanding of how hospitals work.

She became interested in running for the position after hearing so many people “speak ill” of Whidbey General.

“We need to work to repair the reputation of the hospital,” she said, “and I can definitely help.”

Promoting the benefits of animal therapy Lamb joins animal lineup at Alzheimer’s, dementia center

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Like clockwork, as soon as the milk bottle reached the lamb’s mouth, the tail began twirling.

“It’s like a helicopter,” said Trina Barkhausen, health services director at HomePlace Memory Care. “It’s almost like it needs to go around and around and around or he can’t swallow.

“He’s a funny little guy.”

Olaf is a blind, two-monthold lamb that’s winning over hearts at HomePlace, a home-oriented Alzheimer’s and dementia care facility in Oak Harbor.

Barkhausen took him in from a neighbor to care for him shortly after birth and got the blessings of the executive director at HomePlace to bring him to work to allow residents a chance to care for and interact with him.

Convincing the top brass wasn’t difficult.

“When people come here like families and visitors, they’re absolutely enthralled with that lamb,” said Karen Cowgill, community relations director.

“We’re really strong believers in animal therapy.”

Cowgill explained that many staff members bring in their dogs, including executive director Mary Gould, to the delight of residents, staff and visitors.

In fact, it’s encouraged because of the therapeutic benefits to residents suffering with memory loss.

There is a softness and gentleness from the animals that resonate with the residents.

“It’s amazing to see them with animals with how loving they are,” Cowgill said.

“It gives them purpose,” said Ami Timm, life enrichment director at HomePlace.

“They really like to be busy doing things. Some of them had farms growing up.”

The animals also may trigger happy, emotional memories, Timm said.

“They may have forgotten a lot of memories,” she said, “but the emotional center is still there.”

Olaf is in a class by himself.

He is able to wander around a small fenced area near the entrance of the facility and in sight of staff that can see what he’s munching on through a window.

Barkhausen regularly brings him to work and allows residents to stroke and bottlefeed him.

“He’s cuter than anything I’ve seen before,” said Janet, a resident at the facility.

“This was the first time I ever touched a lamb,” said Kay, another resident.

Barkhausen, a registered nurse, cares for lots of animals at her Oak Harbor home on 2.5 acres of property. Her

Luna, left, gets playful in the company of Olaf the lamb. Both are frequent guests at HomePlace Memory Center in Oak Harbor. neighbor raises sheep, and on occasion a lamb will be born in need of special care.

Two fit that description two months and ago and one didn’t survive.

Olaf is not only blind but suffers from seizures from time to time.

Barkhausen normally returns an animal once it’s nursed back to health, but asked if she could keep Olaf.

“I got attached to this little guy,” she said.

She’s not alone.

Barkhausen has noticed the bond between Olaf and residents. She said she’s watched an agitated resident

become relaxed when holding the lamb.

“They love him,” she said.

HomePlace is hosting a free dog show at 2 p.m.

June 27 to benefit Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation.

There will be prizes for largest, smallest, best dressed and best behaved dogs, and more.

To RSVP or to learn more, call 360-279-2555.

“We’re constantly exposing residents to new things,” Cowgill said. “We do all sorts of things to broaden their horizons.”

Janet, a resident at HomePlace, bottle feeds Olaf while Trina Barkhausen, the lamb’s owner, looks on.

100 deadly days of summer start May 22 SOUND OFF

By JOANN HELLMAN It may seem odd that the “100 Deadly Days of Summer” starts a month before summer begins.

However, Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day are when more traffic fatalities occur due to an increase in roadway travelers and drinking during summer holidays, weddings, picnics and other outdoor activities. The U.S. Department of Transportation cites that Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day Holiday weekends yield some of the highest number of DUI crashes and fatalities.

While most DUIs involve alcohol — about 80 percent — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports drugs other than alcohol, including prescription, over-thecounter and illegal drugs, are involved in the remaining percentage of motor vehicle driver deaths. In Washington State that also means marijuana, which, though legal for those 21 and older, still impairs driving abilities. Often these other drugs are used in combination with alcohol.

Driver impairment continues to be the most frequent factor contributing to traffic deaths in Washington state.

And it’s holding steady since 2011 with over a third of all traffic deaths in our state involving an impaired driver according to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.

During the 100 deadly days of 2008 to 2013, that rose to nearly half of the 961 traffic fatalities in our state caused by alcohol or other drug impairment.

This year, the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County again hopes to raise both awareness and funds during this dangerous season with KISS — Keep It a Safe Summer.

The safety campaign kicks off May 22 with a series of awareness activities.

All funds raised during the summer safety campaign will be matched up to $5,000 by Island Thrift and benefit IDIPIC’s DUI and underage drinking prevention work in local schools and aboard Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Since starting in 2000, IDIPIC’s mission has been to deter driving under the influence and underage drinking in our communities through education and awareness.

The organization, with more than 70 dedicated volunteers, has done this to date by providing 445 impact panels in Oak Harbor, Freeland and NAS Whidbey that have reached more than 30,000 attendees. They have included offenders, driver’s ed. students and their parents, and military personnel.

The panels are free to the general public.

IDIPIC also provides age-appropriate prevention classes for driver’s education, “Th!nk, Don’t Drink, Drug & Drive”; middle school, “Th!nk, Don’t Drink & Drive”; SEE IDIPIC, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teacher

COER

McCoy is amazing with his students

New lawsuit should be deemed frivolous

Editor, I read two articles, or rather one article and one letter to the editor, and the contrast was amazing. On one hand, we had the story on Darren McCoy, choral music teacher at Oak Harbor and the work he does with students. He has the respect and work ethic from these kids.

Just go to one of the performances and you will be amazed. Mr. McCoy is not an exception. There are many others like him and they were not pulled from a phone book.

Now the other was a letter written by one of the “Mean Girls,” or at least out sounded like it was. It was a diatribe by one of the yawping minions that lurk around the edges of society, condemning things and policies they know nothing about. They only know how to hurl spiteful insults and gratuitous slurs. Which community, state, nation or world would you prefer? As for me, I stand with Darren McCoy and his fellow teachers, past and present.

Editor, Well, well. Seems the COER has upped the ante in their attempts to close the base. A lawsuit. Honestly, this should be dismissed as frivolous, but we shall see.

This tiny group of NIMBYs seems bent on destroying this economy and our community. They “claim” they aren’t “anti-Navy” yet continue to denigrate our men and women at NAS Whidbey Island.

They use terms like, “bad neighbors,” “lazy,” “welfare in uniform” all because this tiny group of people have chosen to move into an area that contains an active airfield.

One has to wonder what part of air they did not understand about Naval Air Station?

While none of their grandiose claims have been proven true, they continue to force themselves against the community in the most divisive, corrosive ways. When they are called on their nonsense, they attempt to quash dissenting opinions (or facts)

with thinly veiled threats of “libel.”

Really?

It was when one of these COER lackeys attempted to co-opt the civil rights movement, as if their choice to move (or in some cases, have them or their spouse stationed at, NASWI) is a violation of their rights, I was at first highly offended.

But then, I looked at this more in depth and have come to the conclusion, as any reasoning person would, that this was yet another classic public relations blunder, one of many for this group.

Why? Well, when invoking the civil rights movement and your group continues to use terms like “bad neighbors,” “lazy,” “welfare in uniform,” and “depressing the economy” … gee, seems like the words used by Gov. George Wallace and his supporters.

Indeed, seems what they have done was switch to a different “N” word: Navy. So when you see that truck with the huge sign in back, maybe you will know what Coupeville’s “dirty little secret” is.

It sure isn’t jet noise.

It begs the question: Who is the real “bad neighbor”?

Congress

Editor, Many Americans believe that members of Congress want to micromanage peace while they put war on autopilot.

Forty-seven Senate Republicans recently signed a letter to President Barack Obama that is essentially an attempt to torpedo diplomacy with Iran, yet both Republicans and Democrats have abdicated their Constitutional authority on matters of declaration of war.

Congress has failed to debate or vote on the ongoing war against ISIS. The Constitution clearly states that only Congress has the mandate to authorize war, yet Obama has been using the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force as his “cover” to wage his current war.

I urge you to contact Rep. Rick Larsen and Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and ask them, “Are you in favor of perpetual war? Is Congress going to exercise its oversight on war? Or is Congress going to continue to leave it to the Executive Branch to wage war contrary to the Constitution?”

Tell Congress they must repeal, and not replace, the AUMF that was passed just after 9/11.

For 14 years, two presidents — Bush and Obama — have used AUMF to justify endless war. AUMF has allowed Congress to abdicate its Constitutional role to legislate wars.

Let’s close this chapter in American history.

As families get ready to kick off the summer and honor our military heroes this Memorial Day weekend, IDIPIC urges motorists to stay safe on the road during the 100 deadly days by: - Planning a safe way home. Use a taxi or a designated driver who’s had NO alcohol or impairing drugs.

- Not driving at night unless you must. More than half of nighttime crashes occur between 9 p.m. and midnight.

- Wearing a seatbelt.

Seatbelt usage is one of the best ways to stay safe on our roadways.

- Slowing down. Respect all posted speed limits.

- Being aware. Pay attention to other drivers, avoid those driving erratically and report any unsafe driving.

You can also help others to not drive under the influence by being a responsible host. Offer non-alcohol alternatives, don’t let guests make their own drinks, stop serving alcohol at least an hour before the party ends and ensure your guests are safe to drive home.

While many crashes during the summer are purely accidental, many are the result of unsafe practices such as driving under the

Jennifer Spatz

Jennifer Sarah Alice Spatz, the first child of Jurgen and Janice Spatz, was born at home in an idyllic woodsy setting in Woodinville, Wash., Sept. 14, 1970. She died unexpectedly Wednesday, May 6, 2015, at her home in Oak Harbor at the young age of 44. She was the first first-generation grandchild born in America of her proud paternal grandparents, aunts and uncles who immigrated in 1955 from Germany. Jennifer attended elementary and middle school in Coupeville and high school in the class of 1988 in Oak Harbor. She was an avid reader and attended many classes at Skagit Valley College, including psychology, Native American history and the arts. Jen had difficulty finding her way in this life until she centered in upon a home group in AA, where the study of her own recovery took root.

Jennifer was preceded in death by her infant son, Sebastian. Jennifer leaves

Doris J. Schlicht

Doris J. Schlicht, longtime resident of Oak Harbor, passed away May 3, 2015. Doris was 87 at the time of her passing. Doris was born April 12, 1928, in Rock Hill, S.C., to William Albert Garrison and Pearl May Garrison. She had one sister, Pauline Bass, also deceased. Doris had spent the last few years dealing with several heart and stomach problems.

Doris graduated high school in 1946 and short-

ly after met and married Edward J. Schlicht June 28, 1955. They were happily married for 44 years until his death in June of 1999.

Ed was a career Navy man, and Doris and her son, Bill, traveled with him to numerous Naval bases around the U.S. and Puerto Rico, eventually ending up in Oak Harbor, Wash., where he retired in 1972. They called Oak Harbor their home for the remainder of their lives.

Doris was a devoted and loving stay-at-home wife and mother who cared deeply for her family and friends and always made time to spend with them all. She enjoyed camping and motorhome trips with the family throughout the years. In her earlier years, she and Ed were avid bowlers and square dancers and enjoyed the life of a naval officer.

Doris Schlicht is survived by her only son, William S. Schlicht, and his two children, Bradley E. Schlicht and Kristen Nicole. All reside in Washington state.

We will miss her terribly.

Bland

Curtis A. Bland

Curt died May 11, 2015, at the age of 90. He was raised in Jackson, Mich., by his adoptive parents, William M. and Irene (Richardson) Bland.

The day after he graduated from Jackson High School in January 1943, he immediately entered the United States Navy. He was sent overseas to Clark Field in the Philippines in April 1945, where he flew one mission against the Japanese as a tail gunner on a PB4Y2.

After his honorable discharge, he found it difficult to find work, competing with thousands of other young men following World War II. Having a wife (Laurel LeMieux Bland) and young daughter, he re-entered the service, this time in the U.S. Coast Guard, flying search and rescue missions on the Great Lakes as a flight engineer on PBY-5s. Because of his daughter’s precarious

health, he needed to be stationed in a different climate, so Curt transferred to the U.S. Air Force in December 1947. He flew 53 combat missions over Korea in a B-29 as a central fire controller between August 1950 and March 1951 and was awarded the air medal with four clusters. He later flew with the Strategic Air Command and became involved in base education.

After attending night school, he earned a B.A. in education in May 1962 from the University of AlaskaFairbanks. When Curt retired from the USAF as a master sergeant in 1963, he went to work for the Anchorage Borough School District, soon becoming chairman of the social studies department at West Anchorage High School. He earned an M.A. in education from the University of Alaska in 1966 and M.A. in economics from the University of Illinois in 1970.

Curt actively served with the Anchorage Borough Education Association (city) and the Alaska Education Association (state) and was frequently asked by students (most of whom adored him) to be senior class advisor and student council advisor.

He married a fellow teacher at West, Barbara Ann Kilb, in 1972. Curt and Barb retired from teaching in June 1980 and moved to a home they had purchased outside of Oak Harbor when they crewed on a friend’s sailboat from Seward, Alaska, to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1978. While having their own sailboat built on Orcas Island, Curt became totally immersed in the Oak Harbor Yacht Club, serving as commodore 1983-1985 when the yacht club building was constructed and Whidbey Island Race Week begun. He continued to work Race Week for the OHYC for several more years, then served as

Charles V. O’Brien

Charles V. O’Brien, Vince to his family and friends, passed away Saturday, May 2, 2015. He was 84 years old.

He was born April 21, 1931, at Yeadon, Pa. Vince joined the Navy soon after graduating from high school in Glendale, Calif. During his Navy career, he progressed from Seaman recruit to Naval Flight Officer, Lt. He served in Korea and made five deployments to Vietnam.

Vince’s greatest pride was being selected for enlisted Bombardier/Navigator duty in the hot days of the Cold War. Later he was commissioned before serving in Vietnam.

Vince is survived by his wife of 24 years, Judy; three sons; one stepson; five granddaughters; one grandson; four great-grandsons; and two great-granddaughters.

He was preceded in death by his mother, father, sister and brother.

Vince led a full life. He served in the Navy for 22 years, obtained his private pilot’s license, built and flew a gyrocopter, lived and sailed on a sailboat for many years, and built and flew model aircraft. There was nothing left to do in his “bucket list.”

At his request, there will be no services and his ashes will be scattered at sea. He is, at last, at peace.

Oak Harbor dentist donates kits to give students hands-on experience

By RON NEWBERRY

I

Staff reporter

f it were up to Gordon Keyes, he’d bring the heavy arsenal to every model rocket launching.

He’s preparing for a trip to Eastern Washington where students in Connell will launch rockets that can reach 1,000 feet into the air from a wide open space.

But in Oak Harbor, Keyes

No launch is complete without a countdown such as this one at Broad View. uses a tamer version that travels about half that distance, which works well considering the special factors he must consider.

“The Navy base doesn’t like the larger rockets here,” Keyes said, “because they look like missiles on the radar.”

Keyes has operated his own dental practice in Oak Harbor for 19 years, but he’s tinkered with rockets dating back to childhood and while raising eight children of his own.

“I love launching rockets,” Keyes said. “I have no training whatsoever in rockets other than I have done them a lot with my own children.

I am a chemical engineer from the University of Washington and do understand what is happening, though.”

Inspiring children by sharing that knowledge of science through rockets is what fuels Keyes outside of his dental office.

Last year, he started teaming up with Oak Harbor schools to offer an education

in rocket science.

In short, he donated model rocket kits to the schools, had the children build them and then returned to supervise during launch day.

Students at Coupeville High School and Broad View and Hillcrest elementary schools in Oak Harbor have participated in the program this spring.

“My motivation is to see the kids’ excitement as their rocket goes up in the air,” Keyes said. “In a world where we are trying to win the hearts and minds of young people to do other things than video games, this points them to science.

“If we get them outside wondering how high their rocket will go versus what level they will win in a video game, I think we succeeded in helping them be excited about science.”

More than 100 fifthgraders from Broad View participated in the program, inspired by a conversation in the dental chair between Keyes and fifth-grade teacher James Schlegel.

“There was no big curricular tie-in here, just a model rocket enthusiast wanting to share a fun, exciting hobby with the kids,” Schlegel said.

“However, coincidentally, we have been studying systems and forces of flight in science. So this kind gesture actually became a wonderful culminating activity for our science students. What better way to learn about systems and forces of flight than building a rocket and thrusting it into the sky?”

Parents and sailors from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station volunteered to help the students assemble, launch and retrieve the rockets.

At nearly 2 feet in length and resembling large crayons in a variety of colors, the rockets weigh only a few ounces. They were assembled using wood glue and plastic cement with a twiston fin unit and nose cone.

Fifth-graders from Broad View Elementary School in Oak Harbor watch rockets soar after pressing buttons to launch May 8.

Gordon Keyes, right, an Oak Harbor dentist, has been donating model rockets for students to launch for two years. Keyes said that in a world where students are entranced by video games, rockets offer a chance to get outdoors and experience science firsthand.

Inserted in the cone is an engine filled with gunpowder and a parachute.

At Broad View, students took turns launching rockets, with roughly 12 blasting off at a time following a countdown and the pressing of a button.

The launches took place in the school yard at the rear

of the grounds with a few rockets drifting and landing in the vicinity of the front parking lot.

“I think they drifted to Home Depot,” Keyes joked.

“No, not really. Depending on the wind, they can drift forever. We lost a few of them.”

Nearly the entire stu-

dent body at Broad View came outside to view the launches, with most roaring in approval.

“I was overwhelmed by the tremendous support from our community volunteers for the event and the generous donation that made it all possible,” said Lance Gibbon, superinten-

dent of Oak Harbor Public Schools.

“The energy and the joy from the students was contagious. This is a day they will remember for a long time.

I’m so grateful that our fifthgraders had the wonderful opportunity to experience building their own rockets and the thrill of the launch.”

BRIDGE CONTINUED FROM A1 anticipate five 10-hour overnight closures, from about 7-8 p.m. to 5-6 a.m. sometime in July, according to Tom Pearce with the state Transportation’s communications office.

Starting in June, four segments north and south of the park will be repaved. The entire project is expected to take around two months.

“People are just going to have to plan around it,” Oakes said. “Even the single-lane closures will gum up the works and cause significant delays.”

Oakes said that the stretch of highway between Oak Harbor and the bridge is one of the county’s most traversed roads.

APPROXIMATELY 17,000 vehicles cross the Deception Pass bridge each day, a number that does not seem significant if compared to the 217,000 cars that pass through Seattle’s Interstate 5

corridor daily, or the 147,000 that cross the Interstate 90 floating bridge, according to Pearce.

Still, Pearce said, “17,000 is significant if you’re one of the 17,000.”

Once set, Pearce said, all paving projects will be “entirely weather dependent.”

“Rain is probably the big concern,” he said.

In addition, if the temperature on the bridge drops too low overnight, paving would have to be delayed.

Pearce said Transportation is doing its best to mitigate the effects, including coordinating the project to ensure that it doesn’t bump up against the closure and repaving of Dike Road in July.

The plan calls for completing the two Whidbey Island segments first, then paving on either side of the bridge, finishing paving segments on Fidalgo Island and then returning to close and pave the bridge last, according to Pearce.

island in Anacortes and Mount Vernon will likely be affected by the closures, said Mike Welding, the base’s public information officer.

“We’ve already started passing it out to the work force so people understand the potential impacts,” Welding said.

Steve Lesher, a spokesman for the Shell Puget Sound Refinery in Anacortes, said they don’t expect the bridge closure itself to have a “pronounced” effect on its workers but are working one-onone with employees who may be delayed during the project.

“That part we’ll notify folks en masse and people can work with their supervisors,” Lesher said.

COMING AT the height of tourist season, visitors to the state’s most popular park — which saw 2.7 million guests in 2014 — are likely to experience some frustration.

Deception Pass State Park Manager Jack Hartt said his team is trying to find ways to contact campers arriving during the bridge work to ensure they arrive

Those wishing to file a complaint against a health care provider can call 360236-4700.

DURING THE five nights when the bridge is closed, Hartt said he will need to split his overnight staff of five or six and place them on either side of the bridge to ensure that all maintenance and emergencies can be addressed.

“We’re working with local EMS,” Hartt said. “They’re facing the same challenges, but for us it’s up close and personal.”

As far as the delays resulting from the one-lane closures along Highway 20, Hartt said that will affect his staff less than it will visitors and commuters.

However, it’s a necessary inconvenience, he said.

“Our infrastructure needs to be maintained,” Hartt said.

“We all need to share in that misery of waiting in line. That’s the price of keeping our roads nice.”

Another issue is ensuring that day visitors are not trapped on wrong side of the bridge, Hartt said.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA AND SCORPIO.

Week of May 17 to 23, 2015 ARIES

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not shy about speaking your mind when addressing a crowd of people of various nationalities. The situation calls for you to express yourself in another language.

TAURUS

You find the necessary financing to complete an important project.

Your investment is very profitable in the long term, whether it involves a property or a business.

GEMINI

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better renew your passport before summer arrives. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re increasingly tempted by new adventures that mostly take place abroad.

CANCER

You feel increasingly tired. Take the signals your body is sending you seriously, as they are warnings for you to slow down. Sleep is precious; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t neglect to go to bed early every evening.

LEO

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good company as you go on a great adventure or special trip.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re single, love at first sight is just around the corner.

VIRGO

You find yourself shouldering some new responsibilities. You may find them onerous at times, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll open up some great opportunities for you in the future.

LIBRA

You start organizing your summer vacation with family and friends.

Great adventures are in the cards, and you have no intention of missing out on any of these opportunities.

SCORPIO

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very sensitive person in general, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also quite unpredictable. You could leave without warning, whether the situation concerns your love relationship or your job.

SAGITTARIUS

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always easy to bring together people or groups with opposing interests. You find all the necessary arguments to move mountains.

CAPRICORN

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make some small changes in your circle of friends. Some people in your entourage are sapping your strength and goodwill. Try to plan at least one day of relaxation or therapeutic treatments.

AQUARIUS

Self-esteem is the basis of all achievements. Just telling yourself that you can succeed is enough for you to accomplish a brilliant achievement. Go ahead and allow yourself some pride.

PISCES

You need to devote considerable time and energy to family and home. You adopt a new outlook that helps you better enjoy the present moment.
