Declining enrollment leads to cuts at OH Christian School

By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Christian School, a cornerstone of the community for more than 75 years, plans to eliminate classes for students in second through eighth grade next year.

The school’s board of trustees told parents in an emergency meeting last week that declining enrollment made it impossible for the school to pay for the costs associated with running the school, including teacher contracts.

Two teachers and the principal are losing their jobs.

“This is our home school and has been for eight years,” said Karey Smisek-Bachman, a parent. “I am disappointed to think of SEE SCHOOL, A24

‘It’s good to be home’ VAQ-139 returns to Whidbey

By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff reporter

Selena Callaway has endured so many deployments she’s stopped counting.

This week marked the end of one more with the return of the Cougars of Electronic Attack Squadron 139 to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Wednesday morning family and Navy personnel milled around the hangar, all eyes scanning the skyline for the coming EA-18G Growlers. A gigantic American flag hung in the background. The pilots’ wives were dressed to the nines.

Callaway’s husband, Cmdr. Lewis Callaway, is a pilot and the squadron’s commanding officer. Their daughters, Addison, 6, and

Councilman chastises mayor for ‘throwing people under the bus’

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A councilman lashed out Tuesday night after Mayor Scott Dudley blamed his staff for confusion dur-

ing a previous meeting over providing information about the RV park.

Councilman Joel Servatius told the mayor that his comments were both inappropriately political and untrue.

“Time and time again, I’ve watched you — I don’t even have a fancy term for it — throw people under the bus,” he said, “which I find appalling.”

The exchange came as city staff is working on the sewage treatment plant — the largest project the city has ever taken on — while the mayor’s recent medical problems have further

exacerbated a strained relationship between the mayor and council.

Island agencies noncompliant with state auditor requirement

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Despite firing off a warning in January, the Washington State Auditor says it has not yet received required financial data from Whidbey General Hospital and other local entities.

It is the fourth consecutive year that Whidbey General Hospital failed to file documents on the state auditor’s website as part of an initiative to increase public access to information.

Those responsible for filing the documents complain that the process is arduous and redundant.

For the moment, noncompliance carries no penalties, so filing falls to the bottom of the list of priorities.

“I know of no penalty for not doing it other than you’re not compliant with the law,” said Adam Wilson, communications manager for the state auditor’s office.

Wilson mentioned there was talk recently by legislators about putting in place some kind of penalty for noncompliance.

The auditor’s office released a list in January of those agencies that are non-compliant. The list included 11 Island County agencies.

Whidbey General began the process for 2014 but had not completed it as of press time, Wilson said.

The three previous years were never submitted.

Whidbey General Hospital board member Georgia Gardner, a certified public accountant, said that on top of all the other financial documentation required by hospitals, uploading the additional information seems redundant.

“Frankly, if I was running the accounting department, it would be the last thing I would do,” Gardner said. “It’s a matter of too few people with too many things to do.”

“It’s not as important as a lot of things.”

Gardner said that those interested can alway request financial information from the hospital to review.

Documents are not routinely available online, however, except through the state auditor’s website.

Governmental entities are required to upload budget and finance information to the state auditor’s Local Government Financial Repor ting System within 150 days from the end of the year, or by May 30.

The hospital is not the only agency with a history

of noncompliance.

Island County Emergency Ser vices Communications Center is also in its fourth year of noncompliance. ICOM Office Manager Jan Smith said Friday that the organization is in the process of preparing the data and hopes to upload it within the next 10 days.

“It’s a long-going process,” Smith said. “We had to rebuild a lot of data.”

Island County was also listed as noncompliant, but the county completed the process June 4, five days after the deadline.

Other agencies listed as non-compliant for 2014 are Island County Cemetery District, Island County Drainage Districts No. 1 and 5, Juniper Beach Water District and the Island County Council of Governments.

Those agencies listed in the January report that appear to now be compliant for 2014 include Admirals Cove Water District, Crockett Lake Water District, Freeland Water District, Holmes Harbor Sewer District and Lagoon Point Water District, “We appreciate every effort local governments make,” Wilson said.

“We believe they’re an important part of being accountable to the public.”

Annual paper toss marks end of year for graduates

By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff Reporter

They tore it, crumpled it, crinkled it, stomped it, hurled it and even swam through it.

In a matter of minutes Thursday, Oak Harbor High School students emptied hundreds of three-ring binders worth of term papers onto school floors.

It’s part of an annual tradition called the Paper Toss.

The final bell of the day

Liquidation LL d n a Isl Estate Liquidation C

was the signal to let loose.

The massed students hooted and hollered and chucked so many papers airborne they seem to be temporarily lost in a great arctic blast of history essays and algebra worksheets.

Then the principal made the juniors clean up.

“It’s awesome,” said senior Trevor Feinberg, who plans to enlist in the Navy. “Four years of stress all gone.”

It’s not clear when the tradition began, but it’s at least as old as the high school building, which opened in 1974. Sally Jacobs, a retired

school staff member, told the Whidbey News-Times in 2014 that former principal Sid Parker wanted to keep seniors from dumping their papers in places they shouldn’t. So he said seniors could toss them in Parker Hall.

Parker Hall is long gone, replaced in the school remodel with a Student Union Building.

“It feels nice to be finally done and out of here and on with the rest of our lives,” said senior Stephen Ross.

He’s off to George Fox University in the fall to study engineering.

Man hears noises in missing mom’s home

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A man living in the home of a missing woman reported hearing mysterious noises in the attic and crawl space.

Marvin Willey, the missing woman’s son, was so scared that he armed himself and called police.

Responding officers ended up arresting him, however, after realizing that he was a convicted felon and wasn’t allowed to possess firearms, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged Marvin Willey, 63, in Island County Superior Court May 14 with unlawful posses-

sion of a firearm in the second degree.

He was granted a continuance in court on May 26.

His elderly mother, Betty Tews, was last seen in June 2011. Detective Rick Felici with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said the case is still open and unsolved.

Tews was 81 years old and medically fragile when she disappeared.

Tews’ other son, Raymond Willey, was questioned by deputies about her disappearance and then suddenly left the state in 2011.

Before she went missing, Tews sought protection orders against Raymond Willey, who lived with her

at her Sonic Lane residence. She accused him in court papers of pointing a gun at her head.

Raymond Willey was never charged in connection with his mother’s disappearance. Marvin Willey moved from out of state and into his mother’s house after Tews disappeared.

In October 2012, Marvin Willey called 911 to report a possible burglary at the home. He reported that he was armed with a handgun for his protection, but was told by the dispatcher to leave the gun inside and go outside to meet the officers, court records state.

He told the officers that he thought

people were in the attic and the crawl space. The officers checked, but didn’t find anyone.

The officers later discovered that Willey is a convicted felon out of South Carolina, which would disqualify him from owning a firearm. Court documents show that he was convicted in federal court of bank embezzlement in 1979 and was sentenced to six months in prison.

Deputies returned to the Tews house and confiscated a handgun and a shotgun from the home; they arrested Willey, the report states.

Marvin Willey could not be reached for comment.

Alleged accomplice pleads not guilty in armed burglary case

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Last June, a masked man armed with a silver handgun in each hand entered a North Whidbey home and demanded marijuana from the residents, firing two shots into a couch when he didn’t get what he wanted, according to a deputy’s report.

While the masked man hasn’t been positively identified, the Oak Harbor man who allegedly let him into the home could potentially face more than eight years behind

bars for his role in the crime if convicted.

Evan Wilson, 22, pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court June 1 to “burglary in the first degree — accomplice.”

Sgt. Mark Plumberg with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated that June 27, 2014 incident and described it in his report.

The resident said he was at home with two friends when a teenaged friend and Wilson — who he didn’t know — arrived at their home.

The teen left, saying someone was waiting on the road for him. The resident thought that was odd, so he locked the doors and went upstarts. He looked out the window and saw a masked man coming down the driveway.

Wilson denied knowing anything about the masked man but then opened the door for him, allowing him into the house, the report says. The intruder brandished a handgun in each hand and forced the resident and another friend to move

into the living room; Wilson was allowed to stand by the front door, Plumberg wrote.

The gunman pointed his gun at the two men and demanded to know where the pot was and “counted down as if to shoot if they did not tell him where the pot was,” Plumberg wrote.

The intruder fired two shots into the couch.

The burglar and Wilson left together, the report said.

Neighbors reported seeing either two or three men running down Fakkema Road.

Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said the decision to charge Wilson was delayed because he asked the deputies to do follow-up interviews with the suspects, which weren’t completed until recently.

He said the evidence against the teenage suspect was substantially weaker, so he declined to charge him.

If convicted of the charge, Wilson could face more than eight years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Highway paving to start Monday The paving project from Frostad Road to Sharpes Corner begins Monday, June 8 and will include five nights of full closures for Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges in mid-July or August.

Workers will begin at Frostad Road 8 p.m. June 8, and work their way north.

Contract crews are expected to complete all of the work between 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. with single lane closures to reduce impact on traffic, according to Tom Pearce, spokesperson for state Transportation.

During the entire project, work won’t be done on Friday or Saturday nights, Pearce said.

Starting at Frostad, crews will work their way north, completing the paving work on the roadway sections before tackling the two bridges.

Crews will grind off pavement and lay down two inches of new asphalt.

The 10-hour closures will occur 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sunday through Friday. Precise dates of the overnight closures at Deception Pass Bridge won’t be set until 10 days before the bridge paving begins, which will be the final leg of the project. n For more, visit www. wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr20/ frostadsharpespaving/

New services for seniors at Coupeville HUB Residents finding weekly program a great place to find community, friends

By KATE DANIEL Staff reporter

For Coupeville seniors like Eileen Billings, attending monthly bingo games at Coupeville’s HUB for seniors is more than an opportunity to score an extra dollar or two.

It’s a chance to socialize, enjoy a warm meal with friends and, thanks to the presence of a new information services table, a chance to connect with valuable resources.

But she is aware of the effect her loss of sight may have on other aspects of her life and said she was pleased to take advantage of the information table and senior services case manager for resources.

Billings and her son, who was visiting from Portland, spoke with the case manager on site about caregiver support. Billings said she had used those services before her husband’s death

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard calls bingo numbers the first Wednesday of every month at the Coupeville HUB. six years ago and had found it to be very helpful.

In-home care is just one of the several services seniors have the chance to inquire about before Wednesday bingo.

Other topics included Medicare, affordable housing and general resources for seniors.

Glenda Cantrell, resource coordinator at the Coupeville HUB for Seniors, said the caseworkers answer questions about “anything and everything” senior-related.

“They’re just a great resource that someone can come and say ‘I have medicare issues;’ or ‘I

need a place to live,’ or ‘I need transportation,’” said Cantrell. “They have excellent resources to connect with that kind of thing.”

The caseworkers are present from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month.

Senior services have been a longstanding presence in Island County, but May was the first month representatives established a table at the HUB. The HUB also hosts a variety of free programs, such as music performances and educational and presentations from community members.

Cantrell said there are

typically about 18 people present at the programs, though sometimes there are up to 40.

The most popular events are the musical performances, according to Cantrell.

But others, including presentations on caregiver support, hearing health and tax assistance, have drawn substantial crowds.

Upcoming events at the HUB include a presentation June 10 by Steve and Eric Harada, physical therapists; a June 17 musical performance by Broken Banjos; and the regular SAIL exercise program, which occurs on the first and third Fridays of each month.

Cantrell said that there are usually about 20 seniors who join in weekly Wednesday meals. The meals cost a suggested donation of $4, though no one is turned away.

The Town of Coupeville cooperates with Senior Services and Coupeville United Methodist Church to provide the HUB Senior Services program, which began in the fall. The church has been serving weekly meals since 2011 and has been hosting Bingo since 2012.

“This is a great place to meet people and be part of the community,” Billings said.

MAYOR CHASTISED CONTINUED FROM A1 bility of building a temporary RV park at the marina; in the end, they decided it is cost prohibitive.

The RV Park on Beeksma Drive will close for at least two years beginning in the fall. It will be used as a dumping ground for an estimated 40,000 cubic yards of dirt that will be removed from the site of the new sewage treatment plant.

Using the RV Park will save the city an estimated $1.6 million in costs of trucking the dirt off-site.

Downtown business owners are unhappy with the closure because it means fewer RVers spending money on Pioneer Way. Servatius had asked the staff to look into what it would take to temporarily move the RV park to a site next to the marina.

The issue was on the agenda during the last council meeting, but the staff didn’t have a presentation for reasons that weren’t completely clear.

City Administrator Larry Cort said he would talk to the mayor about getting the information and suggested council members call him at home.

Dudley was out sick with a ruptured disk.

Council members, however, complained that the mayor was increasingly uninvolved in city business, making it difficult for them to get information from staff, who are under his direction.

Dudley was back Tuesday, though he said he was in “a lot of pain.” He said he wanted to “set the record straight” and denied that he did anything to pre-

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

vent the staff from giving the council the information it requested.

“City council asked good questions that should have been answered, could have been answered,” he said.

Dudley argued that the staff was supposed to present information about the RV park relocation at least a month before the previous meeting.

“There were several good questions that were asked of our city administrator that should have received more in-depth answers,” he said.

“What I just witnessed was an incredible display of politics,” Servatius said, “and that’s unfortunate.”

He apologized to the staff members who the mayor referenced in his criticism.

He said the mayor should address his concerns with the council or the staff behind closed doors.

Servatius said city staff have always been hard work-

Servatius also challenged the mayor’s assertion that he wants the council to get all the information possible.

“Time and time again we’ve begged for information,” Servatius said. “We get nothing.”

In small communities across the nation, newspaper editors traditionally join the chorus of well-wishers, soothsayers and advice-givers in offering some words of wisdom to those young people venturing out in the world.

Delivering a commencement speech may seem like a tougher job than ever in this fast-paced world of everevolving technology, economic and social turbulence and never-ending global conflict.

What do you say to a bright-eyed graduate facing a future that seems so different than that of generations prior?

Pretty much the same thing as commencement speakers have told every other generation; Dream big. Don’t give up on yourself. Think outside the box. Work hard. Believe in yourself.

Wear sunscreen.

Lists of the greatest commencement speeches of all times have largely the same basic message: Take risks in life.

JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series of books, told an audience: “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all — in which case, you fail by default.”

The old chestnuts are just as relevant — and just as simplistic — today as they ever have been.

The truth is, the generations that have passed through Oak Harbor High School, or any other high school in America, have more in common than not.

Every generation has its challenges, whether it’s war or prejudice or poverty.

The students in the graduating class grew up in the shadow of Sept. 11 and the worst recession in 60 years.

They don’t know of a time when cell phones, laptops and computer games didn’t exist.

But the future is truly bright. The economic clouds have parted. Social justice is at the forefront of national discussions. Technology has the potential to bring people together in ways never imagined before. There are a lot of great TV shows.

And the weather is great. The grads should have a great time and enjoy themselves in the coming days.

Just remember not to drink and drive.

Congratulations, Class of 2015. There are great things ahead for you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Island Transit

Collecting fares is not a simple matter Editor, I attended the Island Transit board meeting on May 22 when the board approved cutting the state-funded connector service between Whidbey Island and March’s Point in Skagit County.

The state will cut the funding in June because IT does not charge fares. IT does not have sufficient ongoing sales tax revenue to continue this service into Skagit County without cutting services to Island County residents.

The net cost of providing the connector is more than $200,000 a year.

IT should charge fares, but how much should be charged, for which routes? Seniors? Students? Disabled?

The fixed costs of a fare box are $1,400 per bus and $30,000 for office equipment. Costs of implementing an automated system are huge — $20,000 per bus plus about $80,000 for office computers.

The numbers were reviewed at the May meeting.

In addition, collecting fares will only

cover between 10-20 percent of the operating costs based on the experience of other rural transit districts.

Projected revenue and expenditures for the next 18 months were discussed at the meeting. Handouts and overheads were available which made it perfectly clear that free bus service is not a viable option; nevertheless, some members of the public still lobbied for free service.

Obviously, public meetings need to be held to discuss the changes.

In my opinion, the new IT Board is driving in the right direction. Let’s be patient but vigilant.

Building on the foundation of Legh Burns and Michael Nutt, the orchestra exhibited unsurpassed growth as a musical ensemble, as well as establishing itself as a major force within the island’s vibrant arts community.

We were thrilled to present worldclass soloists Darol Anger and Marc Salman to commission and perform the world premiere of “The American Northwest” by Tim Huling and to assemble over 200 musicians — your friends, neighbors and local students — to mount the massive production of Carmina Burana.

Over a thousand concert-goers from all parts of Whidbey Island and beyond witnessed Orff’s masterpiece, a concert that will certainly be memorable for many years to come.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to the many local businesses, individual donors, audience members and tireless volunteers for making this past season a resounding success. Special acknowledgement goes to our community partners as well.

Dwindling enrollment forcing school to cut Editor, Oak Harbor is home to many unique and special things. One of our distinctive attributes that many do not know of is Oak Harbor Christian School. OHCS has been a God-given blessing to many children and families in our community, including mine.

Last week, the school announced to its staff, parents and students that it is closing its doors to second through eighth grades due to low enrollment.

While this decision was not made lightly and came as a surprise to many, some were not as shocked.

Enrollment has been on a consistent decline over the last seven years.

Without adequate enrollment the school cannot cover overhead nor financially fulfill teachers’ contracts.

For 76 years the Christian school was an asset to this community in providing a safe environment, smaller class sizes and a quality education while creating a strong Biblical foundation for its children and families.

My two sons attended sixth through eighth grades. Both not only received the foundation they needed to succeed in high school, they received a foundation for success in life. They transitioned from middle school into high school honors and advanced classes as freshmen, and they received high school math and science credits from middle school courses.

Oak Harbor Christian School is Oak Harbor’s best kept secret in both its existence and, now, it’s closing.

Unfortunately, the community of Oak Harbor was not warned of the school’s sorrowful ending prior to the board’s decision, or things might have turned out differently.

I, among many, think that the community of Oak Harbor needs a feasible alternative to the public and home school systems, and, with only word-of-mouth, the Christian school has not been represented adequately to our community.

Three years ago another one of Oak Harbor’s unique attributes was in distress, and our community rallied to save a dying drive-in theater. If we can save a drive-in, we can certainly save a school that has been of upmost importance to our community for 76 years.

Therefore, I reach out to all parents looking for this type of education for their children, and I encourage you to enroll now. I also reach out to all citizens of our community, and I strongly implore you to support in the unified

Election

Severns would make a great OH mayor Editor, This year, Oak Harbor will elect a new mayor as Scott Dudley is not seeking re-election. I am a 22-year citizen, homeowner, business owner and a seven-year Soroptimist member in Oak Harbor.

I want to share my view in the upcoming election. It takes a certain set of qualities to fulfill the obligation of mayor successfully. A mayor must work in the best interest of the community and its citizens.

Bob Severns has a business degree with several years’ experience working with title companies in Oak Harbor and is retired as a business leader that continues to serve his community.

He is steadfast in his devotion and support to our community, along with his generous charitable donations over the years.

As a seven-year city council member, he has contributed to major decisions in order to help our community move forward.

I admire his integrity, acumen and diplomacy. I plan to cast my vote for Bob Severns. I think he will make a great new mayor of Oak Harbor.

A combination of talent, commitment and hard work led to athletic success for seniors Hayley Lundstrom and Dejon Devroe; those qualities also earned the respect of the Oak Harbor High School varsity coaches who voted the pair 2014-15 Athletes of the Year.

Hayley Lundstrom Lundstrom is a vanishing breed ---- a three-sport athlete. And even more rare is for an athlete in a school the size of Oak Harbor to earn 11 varsity letters: four in soccer, four in track and three in basketball.

Her commitment to athletics didn’t come at an academic cost.

Lundstrom owns a 3.99 grade point average. (She received an “A-” in AP calculus.)

Lundstrom, the daughter of Dwight and Shanna Lundstrom, closed out her impressive Oak Harbor High School career by placing 12th in the state 3A high jump.

She finished in a group of four that made the same height (5 feet); they were placed ninth through 12th based on a tie breaker. She was also just one made height from placing fourth.

Lundstrom was third in the high jump in the 2015 district meet, won Oak Harbor High School’s Coaches’ Award in 2015 and was the Wildcats’ co-Jumper of the Year in 2015 and Jumper of the Year in 2013.

“Hayley is one of our hardest working and committed athletes in the school,” girls track coach Eric Peterson said. “She leads by example, and the younger kids look to her as a model athlete and student.”

Basketball coach Jonathan Atkins said, “Hayley is a great athlete and a great person. She is the kind of athlete who doesn’t give up; she had to put in a lot of work to be a good basketball player.

“As a three-sport athlete, she always had a lot of demands on her time, but she always made time for

said. “He has the rare blend of being extremely talented and also being the hardest working athlete on the team.

“I feel blessed to have been a small part of his life, as it was absolute pleasure being able to coach him. He will never be forgotten; he is the type of student-athlete that we will talk about for years to come.”

Soccer coach Mike Lonborg said, “Hayley is a natural athlete and could pick up any sport and succeed if she wanted. Although she is naturally gifted, she still works hard to excel. Off the sports field, Hayley is a well-rounded student, exceeding academically as well as giving back to the Oak Harbor community.”

Dejon Devroe Devroe, a three-year letter winner in football and track, put the icing on his athletic-achievement cake by winning the state 3A 800 meters in school-record time last weekend.

Here are the other ingredients: Football: All-conference, firstteam running back, 2013 and 2014;

Oak Harbor High School Most Valuable Offensive Player, 2013 and 2014; second-team running back, Everett Herald’s All-Area Team, 2014; nominated for the all-state game, 2014.

Devroe, the son of Lynette Jenkins, rushed for 1,214 yards this past football season, fifth most in school history, and averaged 12.6 yards per carry, a school record. He also scored 16 touchdowns, nine by 40 yards of more.

For his career, Devroe ran for 2,199 yards, third most on the record board, with an average of 9.7 yards per carry, also a school record.

Track: state 800 champion, 2015; sixth in state 400, 2014; league 400 champion, 2014 and 2015; first-team, all-league, 2014 and 2015; district

Coupeville’s top athletes humbly accept achievements

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Seniors Josh Bayne and Aaron Curtin and junior Makana Stone, Coupeville High School’s Athletes of the Year for 2014-15, are, obviously, good athletes.

When discussing this trio, however, their coaches don’t

dwell on the gaudy statistics the three put up. Their descriptions soon turn to a quality that doesn’t show up in a Saturday morning box score: humility.

Josh Bayne Football

coach

Tony

Maggio and baseball coach Willie Smith both called Bayne one of the most gifted athletes they have ever coached.

Bayne’s statistics and honors reflect those comments.

In football, he was named the Olympic League’s Most Valuable Player as he rushed

for 1,528 yards on 143 carries, a 10.69 average, and scored 25 touchdowns. He also caught 32 passes for 473 yards and averaged 21.56 yards on nine kickoff returns.

Defensively, he had 91 tackles, two sacks, six interceptions and two fumble recoveries.

In addition to being named the league’s MVP, he earned first team, all-state honors on both offense and defense and will compete in the allstate football game June 20 in Yakima.

Bayne signed to play football for Simon Fraser University next fall.

In baseball, Bayne was named to the all-Olympic League first team as an outfielder. He posted a .481 onbase percentage, stole 22 bases and scored 12 runs in 19 games.

Bayne hasn’t allowed those numbers to go to his head.

SEE WOLVES ,A9

Saturday, June 6, 2015 • Whidbey News-Times

WOLVES CONTINUED FROM A8 Maggio called Bayne “a humble young man.”

Smith put it this way: “I was impressed by his ability to take over a game and, more importantly, his humility. That’s...his greatest asset, his humility.”

Smith said he never saw Bayne make himself the “focal point” of any of his achievements.

“He treats everyone the same and doesn’t expect them to do something that he hasn’t already done or isn’t willing to do,” Smith added.

Bayne said the most memorable moment of his high school career was last football season: “It was fun being out there with all my friends.

They got me to where I was.”

His success, he said, came from the efforts of his friends, coaches and parents (Brett and Kathy Bayne).

“They helped me get those numbers.”

Aaron Curtin Curtin, who played tennis, basketball and baseball and earned 11 varsity letters in four years, closed out his Coupeville career with his most impressive performances.

This spring he was chosen to the first-team, all-Olympic League squad as a pitcher.

He posted a 0.46 earnedrun average, the best for a Coupeville pitcher in Smith’s 19 years as head coach.

In 46 innings, he struck out 59, allowed only four runs (three earned) and held opponents to a .105 batting average. He also led the team in hits (21), doubles (six), triples (three) and RBI (13), while batting .350.

Curtin was also chosen to play in the district all-star game for the region’s top seniors.

A week after the baseball season ended, the Olympic League tennis singles champion finished second in the district tennis tournament and went on to place eighth at state. He also qualified for state as a junior, playing doubles with Ben Etzell.

Curtin was a three-year starter in basketball, and coach Anthony Smith said, “Aaron was a real positive person on and off the court; he practiced hard every day.”

He called Curtin the “glue of the basketball team.”

Baseball coach Willie Smith said, “He is a tireless worker; I don’t think I ever saw him take a day off during this year. “(He has a) great work ethic, great attitude, is

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

accountable and a kid that had a lot of heart and love for the game.”

Tennis coach Ken Stange said, “As an athlete, Aaron speaks softly but carries a big stick. As a person, he’s kind and sensitive, and he’s always found time to work with the younger players.”

Curtin said being remebered as a good athlete would be nice, but wants “to be remembered for being a good person, being a nice guy, being able to help others.”

Curtin had a number of outstanding individual achievements, such a throwing a no hitter and finishing eighth in state in tennis.

However, he said his most cherished moments were state tennis last year when he could share the experience with Etzell and going to state in baseball with his teammates in 2014.

Strong coaches and his family (parents Ed and Judi and brothers Adam and Travis) helped him become a successful athlete and person, he said.

Curtin will attend Central Washington University next year and try out for the baseball team.

Makana Stone Stone was the Olympic League’s most dominant athlete in two sports.

During the basketball season, she averaged over 15 points per game and helped the Wolves to the conference title, Coupeville’s first since 2002. That, in return, helped her win the Olympic League’s Most Valuable Player Award.

In track, she won the league 200- and 400-meter titles and teamed with Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove to win the 4x100 and 4x200 relays.

She helped set a new 4x200 school record (1:46.64) as the Wolves placed third in the state meet. Stone also placed fourth in the state 400 (59.01).

With these honors and the

“It was for helping others,” she said. “I don’t like focusing on myself.”

With that statement, it is not surprising to hear basketball coach David King say, “Besides being the best athlete in Coupeville, Makana is well grounded and very humble. The team and her teammates’ success are very important to her.”

Track coach Randy King said, “She is kind of refreshing. She handles her success the right way. She is the go-to person I use for relationship issues on the team. Makana makes sure everyone feels like part of the team.”

David King said, “Besides being an outstanding student and athlete, Makana gives back to the community in many ways. She is part of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, along with coaching a youth basketball team.”

Stone’s success, she said, comes from the encouragement of her family (parents Joshua and Eileen) and the support of her coaches,

Joel Paul Muehlhausen

Joel Paul Muehlhausen went peacefully to be with our Lord on May 15, 2015.

He was born in Salem, Ill., on Sept. 20, 1955.

Joel was the oldest of eight children. His father was a Marine, so Joel spent years in Virginia, North Carolina

and Illinois.

In 1968 they moved on orders to Sand Point in Snohomish. They were there two years before settling at their last duty station at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Joel graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1973.

Joel’s love for hunting, fishing and the great outdoors led him to study conservation. In 1975 he moved back to Southern Illinois near both paternal and maternal grandparents and many extended family members.

He worked his way from summer help into a job as a conservation officer at Hazlet State Park in Carlyle, Ill. His work there introduced him to the field of law enforcement and he began working dispatch with the Breese Police Department.

August 1983 brought the beginning of his career with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department of Illinois, while he continued to work parttime for Breese until May of 2001. Joel loved his work and excelled at both dispatcher and jailer and was promoted to the rank of sergeant. He routinely volunteered to work holidays so that co-workers could be with their families.

He was fondly known for tracking Santa on the radar throughout each Christmas Eve. He was well thought of and respected by those on

both sides of the jail bars.

Joel suffered a massive stroke in December of 2004, and, with 21 years honorable service with the sheriff’s department, he retired and returned to Washington state to be with his family.

Joel is survived by his parents, Louis and Clara Muehlhausen; brother, Steve (wife Karla); and sisters, Tami (husband Bob) Murray, Kathy (husband Randy) Fagan, Tori Muehlhausen, Geni (husband Kevin) Riley, Mari Muehlhausen and Kari (husband Troy) Sanders. He was a loving uncle to nephew Chance and nieces Christina, Becky, Heather, Tiffany, Ashley and Raina, and eight grand nieces and nephews.

Joel enjoyed many years researching and documenting family history and genealogy. He was known for his patriotism and liking for country-western ballads and John Wayne movies. Joel loved exploring the outdoors, especially state and national parks and hunting with his dad and brother, and he was an avid fresh water fisherman. Joel was always ready to lend a hand and was a quintessential gentleman. He was greatly loved and will be missed.

Dorothy Bessie Love

Dorothy Bessie Love, age 88, longtime Oak Harbor resident, passed away at Skagit Valley Hospital on Wednesday, May 20, 2015.

Mrs. Love was born in Peeples Valley, Ariz., on Jan. 15, 1927, to Emil and Ihva Etta (Leisering) Weisling.

Dorothy’s father was the foreman of the Octave Arizona Gold Mine. After the mine was closed, the family moved to Prescott, Ariz.

It was there that she attended high school and met her future husband, Thomas Charles Love. She was a Navy wife for many years, including duty stations in Newfoundland, Hawaii, Philippines, California (San Luis Obispo and Alameda), Olathe, Kansas, and finally Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. It was there that the family decided to put down roots.

She was a pre-school

Dick J. Hayden

Dick J. Hayden, age 92, died May 28, 2015, at Regency on Whidbey, Harbor Care.

He was born Nov. 13, 1922, in Peru, Iowa, to Walter and Myrtle Hayden. Raised on the family farm, Dick was only 17 when he decided to “join the Navy and see the world.”

He didn’t know then that he was beginning a U.S. Navy career that would last nearly 30 years.

A proud WWII veteran, Dick was a plane mechanic aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier from her commission date to her sinking at the Battle of Santa Cruz in 1942. He watched Doolittle’s Raiders launch from the Hornet on their historic bombing run to Japan. When the Hornet finally went down, Dick was the last man from

his squadron to abandon ship. Years later, when asked about his favorite memory of his Navy service, he laughed and replied, “Getting fished out by a destroyer after jumping off of the Hornet!”

While stationed in San Diego in 1943, Dick met a pretty young lady, Jean Blomquist, at a USO dance.

They were married in August of 1944 and transferred to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1948 on the first of three assignments to the Island. Over the years, Dick was assigned to various aviation squadrons and retired in 1968 at NAS Whidbey as Squadron Chief of VAH-123.

Not one to sit back in retirement, Dick began a second 14-year career with the U.S. Postal Service in Oak Harbor, where he and Jean resided for over 50 years.

As a young man, Dick enjoyed hunting and fishing and playing team sports (volleyball, softball, basketball).

Later in life he took up golfing, bowling and square dancing (with Jean). Golf, however, was his true passion, and, once retired, he was usually found at the local Gallery golf course. Dick was a life member of the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge #2362 and was also a member of the Disabled American Veterans and Fleet Reserve Association.

Dick is survived by his wife of 70 years, Jean Hayden of Oak Harbor; his daughter, Sandra Rafchiek of Redmond, Wash.; his son, Richard J. Hayden, Jr. (Elizabeth) of Bellevue, Wash.; and his brother, Carroll (Kay) Hayden of St. Charles, Iowa.

He is also survived by two grandchildren, Alexander and Anna Hayden; six stepgrandchildren and seven step great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his son, Randle R. Hayden of Sammamish, Wash.

Funeral services for Dick will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, June 13, at the graveside at Maple Leaf Cemetery with Chaplain David G. Lura, USNR (Ret) officiating.

Viewing will be held 9 a.m. to noon at Wallin Funeral Home. Following the graveside services, a reception for family and friends will follow at Wallin Funeral Home.

To share memories and condolences, please visit Dick’s page in the Book of Memories hosted at www. wallinfuneralhome.com Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC, Oak Harbor, WA.

Fixing up Fort Ebey

Oak Harbor twins turn back time with Eagle Scout projects by restoring part of World War II fort

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

T

he idea of placing detailed restoration work of an old Army fortification into the hands of a couple of teenagers didn’t come without careful thought and a certain level of risk by Steve Kobylk.

Kobylk, a stickler to detail and Whidbey Island’s resident expert of former military forts in Coupeville, had been talking about getting to a project at Fort Ebey State Park since before the turn of the century but other volunteer work kept rising higher on the priority list.

So when a pair of 14-yearold twins from Oak Harbor announced earlier this year they wanted to tackle some restoration work at one of the old forts on Central Whidbey for two different Eagle Scout projects, Kobylk sized up the candidates and decided to place the responsibility into their young hands.

And he’s glad he did.

The twins, Ryan and Christian Vasileff, spent 20 hours at Fort Ebey last weekend, overseeing two simultaneous projects that have given the entrances to the battery emplacement a fresh yet more authentic look.

Once dull and gray, the three entrances are now painted in similar camouflage colors and patterns that were represented when the coastal defense fort was used by the Army during World War II. That project was led by Christian.

Also new are the wooden gates in each of the entrances and two steel screens installed to protect park visitors from entry ways that posed a safety hazard.

Ryan was in charge of that project.

The results exceeded the expectations of Kobylk, who’s led several restoration projects at both Fort Casey and Fort Ebey.

“I think they did an outstanding job,” said Kobylk, who lives in Coupeville.

“They did actually more than was expected of them.

“I’ve done a lot of Eagle Scout projects. It’s the only one I’ve seen where there were two Eagle Scout projects at the same place and at the same time.

“They had to work together in order to work around each other in the same spaces. For kids that age, that takes a lot of patience and skill.”

Among the requirements to be awarded Eagle Scout,

14-year-old twins Christian, left, and Ryan Vasileff chose Fort Ebey State Park as the backdrop for their Eagle Scout projects.

Park visitors get an upclose look at the newly painted entrance to the battery emplacement, which transformed the old look in the photo provided in the center. The camouflage colors and gates better resemble what the entrances looked like when Fort Ebey functioned in the 1940s. Part of the twins’ Eagle Scout projects included installing steel grates near one entrance for safety. the highest rank in Boy Scouts, the Vasileffs needed to lead a service project to benefit a religious organization, school or community.

When it came time to think of the idea, their minds returned to a place where they’ve spent so much time having fun while growing up.

“We always wanted to do something at one of the forts,” Christian said.

To comply with Eagle Scout protocol, the twins could only lead their projects and weren’t allowed to do much of the heavy lifting themselves.

That meant that the teenagers were in charge of about two dozen helpers, which included adults such as Kobylk and their parents Jim and Jennifer Vasileff.

The work party also included members from their

Sedro-Woolley-based Boy Scout Troop 4067, Skagit Crew 1022 from Burlington and Oak Harbor High School’s NJROTC. Even their little brother, Justin, 12, also a Boy Scout, helped.

The work crew camped over the weekend at the park and put 20 hours into the project, finishing late Sunday.

“It was just amazing,” said Jim Vasileff. “Coordinating 25 people at their age, it is hard. I watched how hard it was for them over two days.

“We’re very proud of them. Their brother’s right behind them, too.”

The twins said they relied heavily on the expertise and historic knowledge of Kobylk, the island’s field representative of the national Coast Defense Study Group

and Fort Casey State Park volunteer.

Kobylk provided the last original remaining gate so Ryan could draw up plans to build replicas to connect to steel hinges fabricated by state parks workers.

But there was a snag.

“They made all six gates.

They assembled them onsite,” Kobylk said. “When we went to fit the gates on the hinges, they didn’t fit right.

“Some of the concrete had shifted over the last several years.”

Modifications to the wooden boards were made onsite, which impressed Kobylk.

“They took the initiative to see what the issues were, corrected the issues and fixed them that weekend on the spot and installed them,” he said.

“I am amazed we got it all done,” Ryan said.

Kobylk couldn’t have been happier with the result and what it adds to the park.

“There’s this opportunity to interpret a World War II only fort without modifications that’s under state parks control, and on the whole west coast, this is it,” said Kobylk, noting that nearby Fort Casey was a pre-World War I military post.

Jon Crimmins, the area manager for six state parks on the island, including Fort Ebey, Fort Casey and Ebey’s Landing, said the project had been discussed long before he was hired in his present role in 2013.

He stopped by to see the finished product.

“I was absolutely blown away,” he said.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: GEMINI, CANCER AND LEO.

Week of June 7 to 13, 2015 ARIES

You make an important decision after careful consideration. You may not always be the most patient of people, but you must follow all the necessary steps in order to realize a long-term project.

TAURUS

Your plans may change at the last minute. Your friends could cancel a rather strange activity, but you’ll actually enjoy the unexpected peace and relaxation.

GEMINI

You organize an event that brings together lots of people. Thanks to you, this housewarming or birthday party is a huge success.

CANCER

You have access to information regarding a training course that could lead to a fairly spectacular promotion at work.

LEO

If you have young children, you may be asking yourself about activities that will keep them busy during the summer holidays. Take the time to choose a day camp that suits them.

VIRGO

You’re fairly successful, at work or elsewhere, because you take the time to negotiate and ask questions when concluding an agreement.

LIBRA

Whatever the project, you absolutely have to take the time to settle all the little details and organize all the preparations that are necessary for realizing a brilliant achievement.

SCORPIO

There are other, more proud Zodiac signs, but it’s important for you to be respected by others. You manage to distinguish yourself and may even make others admire you.

SAGITTARIUS

A birth could be announced in the family. If you’re planning on moving, you’ll need to revamp the dÊcor so it’s more in line with your image.

CAPRICORN

You speak your mind, and you may also be the recipient of some important secrets simply because you’re a very discreet and trustworthy person.

AQUARIUS

Your comings and goings may take slightly longer this week. You may have to take on the role of taxi driver more than once. Arm yourself with a good map or a GPS, and note down the directions before you leave.

PISCES

If you need to make some major purchases, take the time to think about them for more than a day prior to the transaction. You may even be able to negotiate a better price.

Dogs

POWER RECLINER, large leather, wall hugger, excellent condition. $150. 360-678-3429 after noon.

The Cougars completed a 10-month deployment aboard the USS Carl Vinson.

During the deployment, the Cougars supported Carrier Air Wing 17 strike operations in Iraq and Syria. The squadron flew 12,300 sorties, including 2,382 combat missions and dropped more than half a

million pounds of ordnance against ISIS during the deployment.

They also participated in exercise Valiant Shield, a nine-day joint air, land and sea cooperation training between the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army to develop tactics techniques and procedures in a joint environment in waters near

Guam.

This was the fourth deployment for Kristin Cooper’s husband, Lt. Cmdr. Ben “Maggie” Cooper. She cared for 5-year-old triplets while he was away.

“I don’t think it gets any easier, but you handle it better,” she said.

Finally, the jets screamed into view and landed. One sailor had the task of keeping everyone back from the tarmac while the jets powered down and the cockpits opened.

SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM A1 my kids having to move to a different school after all this time here.”

“We’re heartbroken.”

The school plans to continue to offer preschool through first grade classes with a barebones staff, said Steve Thompson, a member of the school’s board of trustees.

“Enrollment is our primary source of income,” he said.

“We need enrollment.”

The school is the largest Christian private school in the city, at its height serving more than 200 students. Oak Harbor parents involved with the Christian Reformed and Reformed Churches established the school in 1938.

In recent years, enrollment nosedived. This year, 70 students enrolled in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Fifty enrolled for next year.

David Zylstra, principal for 24 years, attributes the decline to a number of factors, including fewer military families and a shift toward more Christian families opting to homeschool.

The recession also made the $5,500 annual tuition difficult for some families.

“We need families to see

Once the pilots climbed out, there was no holding the spouses and children back.

Selena Callaway ran forward and had the long embrace she’d been waiting for.

Lt. Cmdr. Larry “Job” Mahan embraced his wife, Vanessa, and then sat down on the tarmac and gathered his young son, Zeke, in his arms.

“It’s just good to be back on Whidbey Island,” he said.

“It’s good to be home.” the value in a Christian education here at Oak Harbor Christian School,” he said.

Parents at the school are considering one-time donations, fundraisers and paying higher tuition, said Stacey Hotter-Knight. If they can raise enough money for classes next year, they can look at longer-term strategies.

“I’m optimistic we can keep the grades open next year,” she said.

Parents set up a GoFundMe account with a goal to raise $46,000 in donations.

Tammy Bright said the school offers an academically-rigorous curriculum that leads to many of its eighth grade graduates moving onto advanced classes once they reach high school.

A lack of marketing may be part of the reason for dwindling enrollment, she said.

To drum up support from the community, she wrote a letter to the editor of the Whidbey News-Times.

“Three years ago another of Oak Harbor’s unique attributes was in distress, and our community rallied to save a dying drive-in theater,” she wrote. “If we can save a drive-in, we can certainly save a school that has been of utmost importance to our community for 76 years.”
