Dry season comes early

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Longtime residents of Whidbey Island are calling the weather this month the driest and most pleasant that they can remember.

The traditional June gloom has been replaced by a seemingly endless series of bright, sunny days with blue skies.

“I can’t remember it being this nice this early,” said Nancy Conard, Coupeville’s mayor whose lived on Whidbey for more than 60 years.

“It’s been the driest spring I can recall. Not just dry, but warm, too.”

Whidbey’s unseasonably warm weather the past two months has created dry conditions that are throwing caution into the wind, as well as

Historic panel clears path for WGH buildout

Whidbey General Hospital is a step closer to breaking ground on its $50-million expansion project.

The hospital was issued a certificate of appropriateness by the Ebey’s Landing Historic Preservation Commission Thursday after making several design changes following a March pre-application presentation.

In its application, the hospital presented a modified design that featured changes

to previously proposed parking lots, additional pedestrian walkways, landscaping more consistent with hospital surroundings and building modifications that designers felt reflected the area’s historic integrity.

“We’re glad to see we were heard at the pre-app and you made the efforts you did,” said Harry Anderson, commission chairman. “This has been a very long process, and I know how difficult it is.”

$1 million lottery winner, wife heading to Hawaii Winning ticket bought at Safeway

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

The winner of a $1 million Washington Lottery ticket purchased in Oak Harbor stepped forward this week.

William Johnson of Oak Harbor went to the state lottery’s regional office in Everett Wednesday to claim the grand prize for winning the June 2 Mega Millions game.

He bought the ticket at the Safeway store on Erie Street.

Washington Lottery officials would only release Johnson’s name and a few other details. He told officials he didn’t want to speak to the media.

Johnson told Washington Lottery officials that he and his wife were planning to go to Hawaii for their 50th wedding anniversary and the winnings would help, said Jana Jones, legal counsel with the state lottery.

He also said he was in the process of

restoring a 1996 van and the money will help with that project, too, Jones said.

Johnson matched all five numbers in the game to win the $1 million jackpot, but didn’t match the Mega Ball. The winning numbers were 2, 9, 11, 22 and 23.

The Oak Harbor Safeway store will receive a seller’s bonus of 1 percent of the winnings, which is $10,000.

The winner doesn’t actually receive $1 million.

Washington Lottery withholds 25 percent of the jackpot amount in accordance with state law and the IRS tax code, Jones said.

The balance is then taxed at the end of the year as income, she said.

Johnson told lottery officials he plans to set up an account with a local veterinarian to help pets in need.

“That’s not uncommon at all,” Jones said.

“Lottery winners are unbelievably generous people. We see it time and again.”

Rape conviction vacated over prosecutor’s omission

By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-editor

A Camano Island man’s rape conviction was vacated Tuesday because a former deputy prosecutor didn’t disclose potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense.

Bryan Ross, 55, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit indecent liberties by forcible compulsion, a lower-level felony sex crime, as part of a plea bargain. The judge sentenced him to 51 months, the maximum under the standard sentencing range; he was released from prison this week after having already served 61 months.

Ross was originally convicted of the second-degree rape of a disabled woman in his home in 2010. He has maintained his innocence.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks alerted Ross’ attorneys to the error after discovering the undisclosed evidence last year; he also opened an internal investigation.

The appeals court remanded the case back to superior court.

In court this week, Banks said his office failed the victim, failed the court and even failed Ross by not following laws that protect the rights of the accused.

“It’s an understatement to say that I’m embarrassed and extremely disappointed that this happened under my leadership and in my office,” he said.

The victim couldn’t bear to be in

the same room as Ross, but asked a legal assistant to read a statement.

She wrote that she doesn’t fully understand the legal technicalities that allowed him to go free, but that it didn’t change the facts of what he did.

She described how she fought him as he tossed her around “like a rag doll” and raped her, changing her life forever.

Colleen Kenimond, the former chief criminal deputy prosecutor, handled the case against Ross.

Island County Sheriff’s Detective Laura Price, who is now a sergeant, investigated the case and found at least six other women who accused Ross of sexual assault, according to Banks’ internal investigation of the case. One of those other women testified against Ross at trial.

Banks, however, said his assistant discovered the undisclosed evidence related to the witness while fulfilling a public records request.

The witness testified that she had been raped by Ross in circumstances similar to the rape he was charged with. But the woman also disclosed to the detective that she had a consensual sexual encounter with Ross after the assault; she explained that she was desperate and homeless, so she went to him for help even after what he had allegedly done, the court documents state.

Such information could be used to impeach or discredit the witness on

Bryan Ross signs paperwork in court Tuesday as attorney Craig Platt and Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks look on. the stand and needed to be shared with the defense under the rules of discovery, according to Banks.

Price had told Kenimond about the evidence but was told to keep it out of her report. Banks said the detective expected Kenimond to review the matter with the witness and then determine whether it needed to be documented; Kenimond also said that was her intent.

The witness contacted Kenimond’s legal assistant about her concerns that her testimony could hurt the case. The legal secretary relayed the information to

Kenimond.

For some reason, however, the information wasn’t disclosed to Ross’ attorney.

Banks had a staff member contacted Kenimond, who remembered the information but thought that she “most likely” disclosed it to the attorney, according to his investigation.

She also said she would have expected Ross to let his attorney know about the consensual encounter.

Ross’ attorney, however, said he didn’t even recognize the woman at trial.

The pre-sentence investigation report by the Department of

Corrections and Price’s investigation describes how Ross found a long line of sex partners by approaching women, especially those who appeared vulnerable, in grocery stores and other public places and inviting them to his home.

He claimed he was a former police officer or Navy SEAL; many of the women consented to have sex with him, but if they didn’t, he would force them, Kenimond claimed in court.

He was married six or seven times; two of his ex-wives claimed that he had raped them, the presentence investigation states. One of the women claimed he cheated on her with about 50 other women, the investigation states.

Neither Ross nor his new attorney, Craig Platt, had much to say in court.

“Mr. Banks has behaved in the most honorable way possible,” Platt said.

Banks said he expects there may be a bar complaint against Kenimond, though he doubts that she withheld the information on purpose.

“While it may not be for me to determine, I do not believe that Ms. Kenimond intentionally ‘buried’ the evidence, or acted with ill intent,” he wrote in the report.

“She carried a significant case load at the time.”

Easing the transition

Saturday, June 27, 2015 • Whidbey News-Times

Group of island women use song to make dying a less negative experience or those preparing to pass life’s final threshold, a group of Whidbey women offer a gift of transcendence and healing.

The Threshold Singers do not consider themselves a choir, nor do they consider their work a performance.

The singers, of whom there are 15 in the Whidbey Island chapter, are all volunteers.

Their work is deeply personal, and free of charge.

They most often sing at the bedsides of the dying, in homes and at care facilities, including Enso House and Careage of Whidbey.

They also sing to caregivers and family members of those who are preparing to die, some of whom learn the songs and sing along.

“Music can be a transcendent experience,” said Anne Zontine, one of the members present at the June 18 Rest Easy at Healing Circles Langley, one of a handful of public presentations by the group.

“I think we are working with the idea of what death means in our lives and in our culture and helping people to have the death experience be something that is positive and gentle, looking at it in more of a transformative way,” said Zontine, adding that, instead of a negative transition, the experience can be made more positive, for the dying as well as their loved ones.

The group is the Whidbey chapter of an international organization with locations ranging from London to California.

The National Threshold Choir Organization has approximately 500 songs in its database, some of which are folk songs, passed through the generations, such as a Nigerian song in honor of elders.

Others were written specifically for the bedside.

The Threshold Singers are not associated with any religion, though they sing hymns or other religious melodies, as well as other favorites, upon request.

One man requested “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” the women recalled.

Effie Brown, Quinserra Stanley, Christa Straub and Linda Edling sing to Susan Hanson, reclining, during a recent rehearsal. The Whidbey women are all members of the Threshold Singers, a group which sings at the bedsides of the dying.

“I think we are working with the idea of what death means in our lives and in our culture and helping people to have the death experience be something that is positive and gentle, looking at it in more of a transformative way.”

Anne Zontine, Threshold Singer The cadence and tempo of the song also differs based upon the client’s preferences.

Christra Straub explained that, when a person is in the process of dying, the singers often hum rather than using words.

At other times, clients request a more upbeat tempo.

In the final days of a person’s life, Straub said much of the focus is upon medical needs. The music offers a respite from the chaos, for the clients as well as their caregivers.

Some, with whom the singers have worked for some time, begin to learn the songs themselves and sing along.

“It’s very sweet,” Straub said.

Music is particularly effective due to the fact that hearing is one of the last human faculties to be lost in the dying process, Effie Brown said.

Brown, who is experienced in hospice care, noted that the medical community is, slowly beginning to recognize palliative care as a viable option.

“In the same way we’ve reclaimed the birthing process, in our home and in our families, that’s the same way we want to reclaim the dying process,” said Brown.

“We’re passionate about the work.”

The group began when three women from North Whidbey, who had been gathering and performing in

Anacortes, decided to start a local chapter approximately five years ago.

Today, the group is composed of women from all areas of the island, including Coupeville, Freeland and Oak Harbor, and is always welcoming of new members.

Zontine noted that many begin working with the group as they navigate their own grief.

“We find that when we sing with each other, it is a very nurturing and nourishing thing for us, as people that are participating,” Zontine said.

“When we sing with others in a circle like this, we find that it is a very meditative time for people to go to another space with their consciousness.”

At a recent rehearsal at the home of Brown, the women instructed their newest member, Susan Hanson, to lie down in a recliner, eyes closed and shoes removed, to relax and experience the songs from a client’s perspec-

tive.

It is one of many ways in which the women ensure they are as familiar with the clients’ experience as possible.

Several of the singers have worked in healthcare, often in hospice.

Each is required to attend six months to a year of training at Whidbey General Hospital prior to their first bedside singing experience.

The training helps the women to prepare to enter environments in which clients are in the process of dying.

During personal, bedside visits, the women typically sing in groups of two or three, always requiring that a caregiver be present.

The bedside visits are confidential, and are often made upon referral.

“My sense is that music is a universal language that goes directly to the heart of the person,” said Brown.

Flip flop on funding for WSP space creates quandary in Olympia THE PETRI DISH

By JERRY CORNFIELD To lease or to own, that is the question.

It has vexed state lawmakers for months as they consider moving the Washington State Patrol into new digs.

The House and Senate can’t agree on the answer, adding fuel to the interminable political wrangling in Olympia that’s pushed the state ever closer to a shutdown.

It puts at risk a new state construction budget that would pay for such things as a new cafeteria at Marysville Pilchuck High School and a Washington State University building in Everett.

Here’s the problem: The General Administration building on the Capitol Campus is an aging edifice capable of collapse in the next good-sized earthquake. Lawmakers want to relocate its occupants, many of whom work for the State Patrol.

Two years ago, they settled on a plan to tear down another state-owned building a couple blocks away and replace it with a gleaming new energy efficient one for the State Patrol and other agencies.

The 2013-15 capital budget contained cash for demolition and design. But they messed up the language in a way that made it impossible for the state treasurer to sell the bond-like “certificates of participation” needed to finance construction.

When Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, the project’s chief cheerleader and chairman of the House Capital Budget Committee set out to fix it this year he found the Republicanled Senate no longer wants to proceed.

Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside, architect of the Senate capital budget, said his party now figures it might be cheaper to lease existing office space rather than build something new.

They want a fresh analysis of the options before moving ahead.

But Dunshee said that’s not the reason for the change of heart. He contends it’s because of the influence of an Arlington businessman, Brent McKinley, who spent generously to help elect Republican senators in the 2014 election and could benefit generously if the Senate approach is followed.

McKinley makes his living from renting office space to state agencies. His company, Vine Street Group, collects roughly $2 million a month from 17 leases in Thurston County alone, according to state data provided by Dunshee.

“I can’t show you the handshake. I can show you the fingerprints,” Dunshee said. “If they look at anything except for what Brent McKinley shows them they would understand.”

He said those “fingerprints” are the $30,000 in contributions McKinley and his wife made in 2014 to the Leadership Council, the campaign arm of the Senate Republican Caucus.

McKinley also donated last year to the campaigns of individuSEE CORNFIELD, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jail death

COER

Sheriff is a good, compassionate man

Sick and tired of hearing complaints

Editor, Saturday’s editorial about the tragic death of Keaton Farris while in our jail was well-balanced and set a good tone.

My heart aches for all concerned, and for our community.

I would only add that I know Sheriff Mark Brown to be a man of integrity, intelligence and compassion. No one could be more determined to fix the failures in the system than Sheriff Brown, and he is without question the right man for the job.

Beyond that, as you noted, some of the issues that surround this tragedy are beyond the scope of the Sheriff’s Department or of Island County. Those issues must be addressed cooperatively across agencies and citizens’ groups if they are to be changed.

Meanwhile, let’s support Sheriff Brown as he works to dig into what underlies the mistakes and failures and to make whatever changes need to be made.

Catherine Ballay Coupeville

Editor, Like Bonnie Tchuileng, we are sick and tired of the dispute.

What upsets us is the continual fraudulent attacks Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, throws at all Navy operations. Please understand, however, that we “big guys” up north who live by Ault Field have jet noise all the time.

Where do you think those Growlers take off from and then land? We’ve also have had P3’s and transports over head for over 38 years.

We still love it here, no health issues, no problems except having to turn the TV volume up sometimes.

OLF Coupeville was specifically created to give pilots the training they need to land on aircraft carriers.

We wish all COER people could experience how difficult and dangerous that is.

Sign petition to get money out of elections Editor, There is a petition out to get Initiative 735 on the ballot in 2016.

This I-735 initiative is the “new” “Get big money out of our elections” initiative.

I urge all of Washington state’s registered voters to sign on to this new initiative effort. Polls show consistently that a super majority of people all over the country, of all political persuasions, want to get back the control of how much money goes into our elections.

Please sign the petition for I-735 when you see it. Your signature will help get it on the ballot and if it is approved at the polls, Washington state will be the 17th state to say the people want to take back control of our elections.

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK:

What do you think of the Supreme Court ruling that allows the federal government to continue issuing subsidies to states, thus upholding Obamacare?

“I think it helps a lot of people. I think there are a lot of people that could use the service, but refuse to apply as well. So there is that double-edged sword. …

My husband is retired Navy, so I’m glad I don’t have to depend on it.”

Mary Hewitt Oak Harbor

“I think it will be beneficial for a lot of folks, for those who have been without healthcare for so long. I have an aunt who pays $800 just to get a checkup once a year because she doesn’t have full insurance, so I think it will be beneficial.”

Meisha Caudle Oak Harbor

“They raised our insurance rates at our work [because of it].

I’ll probably never use Obamacare.”

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS

Commercial Club votes to hold 4th of July celebration Here’s what was happening in the news this week:

100 years ago

n The Oak Harbor Commercial Club voted in favor of holding a Fourth of July celebration after deliberating in a special session. Some members were concerned about funding, as the city still needed to foot the bill for the construction of a new ferry and stock yet unpaid for “proper conduct of the cannery.” Others said it was important to host festivities because “the country people expected it.” A finance committee was appointed and instructed to collect funds. n Farmers Day, the biggest Market Day in the history of such events in Oak Harbor since its inauguration, brought six hundred people to town.

The “news man” counted 153 vehicles, 72 of which were automobiles.

The feature of the day was the stock parade. A performance from the Heller Band, who visited from the mainland, was also a crowd pleaser. n The Whidbey-Utsaladdy ferry was expected to be ready for traffic by the following week. Island County automobile owners, of which there were approximately 100, had decided to take an excursion to Everett and Seattle in conjunction with Stanwood citizens as a recognition and announcement of the means of travel.

Peg Tennant Coupeville

75 years ago

n A mysterious car accident occurred on the highway from Coupeville to Oak Harbor. A Chevrolet coupe licensed to Ray Rhodes of Greenbank was found abandoned. It had been driven at a fairly high speed and had swerved off the road before crashing into a large boulder approximately 25 feet from the highway.

There were no witnesses, but those who heard the crash came to investigate and found no one in the vicinity.

Rhodes had been on a fishing trip in the San Juan Islands for the past two weeks and had left his car with friends, who had not been home for several days. n The Oak Harbor Holland Days maintained its reputation of having the largest small-town parade west of Chicago. The procession took more than an hour to pass any given spot.

Several thousand people were present to witness the floats, bands, livestock and machinery pass by. Princess Carol Ober and her attendants Marjorie Maylor and Gertrude Admiral led the parade in a huge wooden shoe.

50 years ago

n The Salisbury Sound, Whidbey Naval Air Station’s only home ported

ship, was expected to return soon. It had been deployed to the Western Pacific as a flag ship of Commander Task Force 72. There were 350 men aboard. n A driverless car with two small children inside crashed into a church.

There were no injuries. According to the Oak Harbor police chief, it was believed that one of the children had pulled the gear selector from park to neutral. The damage to the car was an estimated $550 and the damages to the church estimated to be $150.

25 years ago

n The Coupeville Town Council violated state law when it voted by secret ballot to appoint Spence Purvis to fill an open council seat. The Open Public Meetings Act prohibits such an action. The council was scheduled to hold a re-vote the following Monday during a public meeting. n The Oak Harbor Planning Commission sought citizens’ input on what they would like to see the Oak Harbor waterfront look like in the future. Planning Commissioner Chris Saxman said he would like to make “some definitions” for areas that had not yet been developed. The planners said their goal was to establish a plan to avoid haphazard development on the remaining shoreline and waterfront view properties.

What is common decency?

Common: Pertaining or belonging equally to an entire community, nation, or culture; public.

Decency: Conforming to the recognized standard of propriety, good taste, modesty, etc., as in behavior or speech.

Broken down, this phrase speaks of the agreeable standard within society of how to act towards one another during any given moment.

The Golden Rule is treat others how you would like to be treated.

Surely we see this phrase and our mind automatically snaps its fingers and quickly remarks, “Yes, yes the golden rule. I always abide by that.”

Do you? I recommend you question your recent actions as I am because we

are all responsible.

It is time we rise above laziness, fear and complete disregard for other members of society and to take responsibility for our own actions.

Money, property, social status, and happiness are all perfectly attainable in the game of capitalism, but let us not forget what it feels like to be looked down upon.

Let’s us be aware of how a simple “hello” or smile affects those around us and rise above the constant rat race to bring back common decency.

Hug your neighbor, shake someone’s hand you don’t know, smile as you pass one another on the street, treat the person waiting on you with respect and be aware of what’s going on around you.

Energy is contagious and can start with anyone in any scenario.

Schoesler rejected Dunshee’s suspicions. He questioned whether Dunshee’s zeal to construct an expensive green building might be out of a desire to fulfill the agenda of Tom Steyer, the California billionaire who underwrites environmental causes and Democratic candidates in Washington.

Meanwhile, the debate continues on which is the better financial deal for taxpayers.

Dunshee says the state will spend about as much money building a new structure as it would in monthly rent for roughly 25 years.

Then the mortgage for the $82 million project will be paid off and the savings begin. He calculates that after 75 years — his estimated life of the building — it will add up to $800 million in avoided rent payments.

Honeyford and GBOLA consultants dispute the math. Rent won’t rise as much as Dunshee assumes and the lawmaker failed to factor in the cost of ongoing maintenance as buildings age.

A quarter century is a long time.

Honeyford said the estimated cost per square foot has climbed since 2013 and he’s concerned it’s not done rising.

Dunshee isn’t surrendering.

“It was in once,” he said. “It is the right thing to do.”

Will it be in the final budget deal or not be in, that is the question yet to be answered.

OBITUARIES

Jenkins

Glenna Jenkins

Glenna Jenkins of Oak Harbor died early in the morning on June 21.

She was 93 years old, sharp, witty and enjoying her life. The day before her death, she was surrounded by family sharing memories, laughter, a few tears and lots of love.

Glenna was born in Wenatchee on Jan. 3, 1922.

She was the youngest of Elmer and Dora Brubaker’s seven children.

At age 23, she became a single mother raising two children. The family lived in Seattle, Portland and Montebello, Calif.

During these years, Glenna worked for Pacific Bell, where she soon became a supervisor. She was in charge of the payroll department for the Los Angeles Corporate Offices. She was the person the company chose, and trained, to program the “computer boards” as the company transitioned to computer accounting. She then trained her staff of over 40 people doing pencil and paper accounting, through punch cards and into a fully computerized accounting department.

In 1963, when the children were in college, Glenna returned to Washington and married Oscar Jenkins of Seattle.

Soon after, the couple moved to Whidbey Island, where they made many friends, practiced barbering and real estate, and built G & O Mini Storage north of Oak Harbor.

They worked until four days before Glenna’s death, and Oscar’s plans were to re-open the business on June 24.

Glenna is survived by her husband, Oscar Jenkins, son, Ray Jenkins, daughter, Sharon Gilbert, six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one great-greatgrandson. All love her dearly.

There will be no public service, as the family is planning

Wunderlich

W.F. ‘Bill’ Wunderlich, Jr.

Bill Wunderlich peacefully passed away at the age of 92 on June 22, in Oak Harbor.

Bill was born April 19, 1923 in Rock Springs, Wyo. to William and Loretta Wunderlich.

His father became the first United Air Lines manager for Elko, Nev. which brought he and his brothers, Jack, Gene and sister Charlene to Elko.

After graduating from Elko High School, Bill entered the Army Air Corps and became a B17 pilot.

During World War II, Bill was shot down two times and was a prisoner of war each time. He was a POW in Czechoslovakia and Italy.

When asked about his POW internments, he said “I was just doing my job for my country and God was my copilot.”

Upon his return to Elko, he and his future wife, Marge Hachquet, celebrated victory and danced their way to the altar February 23, 1945.

Following their marriage, they were off to the University of Colorado in Boulder City, Colo.

After a couple years of school they decided they wanted to return to Elko.

Bill worked for Stinson Berger Furniture Company, which he eventually purchased. Years later, he sold the furniture store to try a new adventure and established Wunderlich Insurance

Agency. He sold New York Life Insurance and AFLAC Insurance for over 35 years.

He loved the insurance business, knowing he was able to help people.

Bill so loved the people of Elko that he became deeply involved in the community.

In 1953, he was President of the Jaycee’s and helped start the Elko Stampede/Rodeo.

His care and contributions for Elko continued for over 60 years. He was very much involved with the Republican Party, Elko Fair Races, and Cowboy Poetry.

His passion for flying also helped create the Elko Air Races. He was a co-founder and helped establish Great Basin College. He helped in the building of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, the Northeastern Nevada Museum, the Basque Museum and Club House, the Convention Center, baseball fields and many more projects which have enriched the community.

His dedication to the homeless and to the community of Elko was done without fanfare. He dedicated his life to helping others.

In August of 2000, Bill and Marge moved to Oak Harbor to be near their daughter and family.

Bill loved the beauty of the Northwest and always enjoyed smoking his cigar overlooking the waters of the Puget Sound from his condo balcony.

Bill is survived by his children, Carol McMahon ( John) of Oak Harbor and Rob Wunderlich (Xenia) of Genoa, Nev.; grandchildren, Nicole Klages (Steve), Rich McMahon (Carrie), Carly Adams (Mike), Dusty Wunderlich, Vanessa Wunderlich and Jon Wunderlich (Sylvia); great-grandchildren, Evan and Ryan Klages, Kaylin and Erin McMahon, McKenzie, Connor and Kahlan Adams; his sister, Charlene Wunderlich; and his “other” kids, Greg Wenner, Sue Cunningham, Ann and Patty Evans plus numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by the love of his life for 69 years, Marge, two sons, Willie and Ricky, his parents and siblings.

Thank you Regency on Whidbey for your wonderful, care, support and love.

Words cannot adequately express our gratitude and appreciation. He loved you all.

A rosary will be held June 29 at Burns Funeral Home in Elko, Nev. Funeral services will be held June 30, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Elko. A private family internment will follow.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Great Basin College Foundation, P.O. Box 2056, Elko, Nevada 89803; Northeastern Nevada Museum, 1515 Idaho Street, Elko Nevada 89801; or St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 1035 C Street, Elko, Nevada 89801.

Whidbey grads continue athletic success in college

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Strong postseason performances by Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school graduates highlighted the collegiate spring season for former Whidbey athletes.

Track Coupeville’s Hunter Hammer earned AllAmerican honors for Trinity Lutheran College (Everett) by placing third in the shot put at the National Christian College Athletic Association track championships in May. Hammer’s throw of 47-11 set a school record. Hammer also owns the Trinity discus (152-05) and hammer throw (155-06) school records.

In addition to placing third in the shot, he was fifth in the hammer (150-05) and 13th in the discus (132-07) at the NCCAA championships.

That performance helped Hammer win the StudentAthlete of the Year Award at Trinity Lutheran.

“He had a great finish to his last season of college competition,” coach Matt Koenigs said. “Hunter is a wonderful young man and was a joy to have on the track team.”

Koenigs noted Hammer still has one year of eligibility left (he red-shirted one of his seasons at Everett Community College) but chose to graduate this spring.

Allison Duvenez wrapped up an outstanding running career at Northwest Christian University (Eugene, Ore.) by placing sixth in the 800 meters and 10th in the 1,500 at the Cascade Conference championships.

The senior from Oak Harbor holds the NCU record for the 400-meter hurdles (1:06.37) and was a member of the school record 4x800 relay team (9:32.56).

At one time, she also held the school 400 (1:03.123) and 3,000 steeplechase (12:29.24) records.

In her four years on the school’s cross country and track teams, Duvenez was a two-time All-American, twotime all-Cascade Collegiate Conference member, threetime all-league academic winner and a conference champion in the 5,000 meters.

Tyler King, a junior from Coupeville running Division

I track for the University of Washington, placed 15th in the 10,000 meters (30:40.03) at the Pac-12 championship meet May 16 in Los Angeles.

Two weeks later in Austin, Texas, he ran 30th in the 10,000 (31:39.57) at the NCAA West Preliminaries.

Earlier in the season, King ran a 28:59.37, the fastest 10,000 on the team this spring and the sixth fastest all time at Washington.

He also owns the team’s second fastest 3,000 time (8:20.09) and sixth fastest 1,500 (3:48.74) for 2015.

Christina Wicker, a sophomore from Oak Harbor running for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Mass.), placed 10th in the 1,500 meters (4:53.59) at the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference championship meet April 25 and then 18th (4:44.06) at the New England Division III championships April 30.

Alexandra Laiblin, a freshman from Oak Harbor, posted Western Washington University’s best time in the 10,000 meters this spring (38:56.54) while placing fifth in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference cham-

pionship meet May 8 in Monmouth, Ore. She also posted the Vikings’ third-best 5,000 meter time (17:59.05) when she ran fifth at the 34th Annual Ralph Vernachia Open April 25 in Bellingham.

Oak Harbor’s Adrianna Royal, a red-shirt junior at Sacramento State University, posted the eighth-best time in school history (11:17.74) while finishing fourth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Sacramento State Open May 9.

Hannah Bressler, a junior from Oak Harbor at Willamette University, clocked the school’s fifth-best time ever in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (10:59.31) while finishing fourth at the Northwest Conference championship meet April 24.

She placed 21st in the event in 11:40.82 at the NCAA Division III championships in Canton, N.Y., May 21.

Oak Harbor’s Dominique Jackson, a junior at Pacific Lutheran University (Tacoma), concluded her season by placing second in the shot put (39-7.75) and fifth in the hammer (147) and discus (124) at the Northwest Conference championship meet April 24 and 25.

Whidbey 11/12 all-star softball falls to Anacortes in title game

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Whidbey 11/12 Little League softball all-stars mounted a late comeback but ran out of time in a 13-5 loss to host Anacortes in the District 11 championship game Tuesday, June 23.

Anacortes scored 12 runs over the first three innings to take control early. Whidbey started to chip away, scoring a run in the bottom of the third inning and two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings but couldn’t overcome the early deficit.

Anacortes used 11 hits and four Whidbey errors to take the early lead. It collected only two hits over the final three innings as Whidbey pitcher Scout Smith struck out five.

Whidbey went hitless over the first two innings, then Loralai Snyder led off the third with a single. A stolen base and wild pitch moved Snyder to third; from there, she scored on Marenna Rebischke-Smith’s ground out.

In the fourth, Brooke

Gilham and Madelynn Tucker sandwiched walks around a single by Patti Miessner. Thora Iverson walked to force in one run, and Smith singled in another.

Whidbey finished its scoring in the fifth. Gilham singled and Miessner reached on an error; both eventually scored on wild pitches.

Miessner and Tucker, who walked three times, each finished the game with three stolen bases.

Whidbey, which included players from the North, Central and South Whidbey Little Leagues, went 2-2 in the tournament, beating South Skagit twice (18-3, 10-6) and losing to Anacortes twice (9-5, 13-5).

Whidbey was the only team undefeated Anacortes didn’t 10-run this season, according to coach Adam Caveness. Caveness was joined on the coaching staff

by Ian Somes and Lauren Miller.

Council of Governments goes against tide, pushes incorporation study

By JUSTIN BURNETT Whidbey News Group

Absolutely not. Well, maybe. OK fine, let’s send it to the Island County commissioners and let them figure it out.

That was the course of a turnaround discussion Wednesday by members of the Island County Council of Governments about a proposal to fund a Freeland incorporation feasibility study.

Despite just about every member giving reasons why it seemed a bad idea, the quorum of seven unanimously consented to move the proposal forward to the board for final consideration.

“It’s progress,” said Chet Ross, president of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce and a driving force behind the request.

Partnering with the Island County Economic Development Council, the chamber is seeking $70,000 to pay a private consulting firm to determine just what

it would mean if Freeland became a city.

Ross and Ron Nelson, executive director of the EDC, presented the plan to a clearly wary council of governments. Nelson made an initial proposal last month, but it was soundly rejected.

Though the council’s May response was clear, Ross said before Wednesday’s meeting that he’d worked on a new presentation to satisfy concerns.

“My question still remains,” Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said. “How can you make an economic feasibility study without knowing the boundaries?”

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard agreed, saying there are certain things that should be determined before moving forward.

“You can’t have an incorporation study until you know the details,” she said. “It’s like the sewers, people want to know what it’s going to cost.”

Similarly, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson voiced concerns

that launching an incorporation study now would “derail” the county’s current planning efforts.

Ross disagreed, saying he believes the two efforts could move along in harmony and without conflict, that they “would probably come together very nicely” by the time bother concluded.

Nelson agreed, saying the consultant hired to perform the study on behalf of the EDC and the Freeland chamber could work in concert

with the county’s planning department to ensure the end products didn’t conflict.

“We’re asking for experts to help us get these answers so we can make an informed decision,” Nelson said.

“I know a very large business that’s interested in investing in Freeland, but it can’t because of a lack of infrastructure,” said Nelson, at the start of his presentation.

Nelson didn’t identify the business.

Johnson said she can

understand the passion behind the incorporation effort, the desire for autonomy and self governance, but that the county has a “freight train moving to meet a June deadline,” which makes this a matter of timing.

Price Johnson agreed, saying a discussion for Freeland incorporation may be in the future but this is challenging time for the conversation.

Ross expressed frustration with the county’s reluctance

to endorse the incorporation movement, saying officials over and over stall forward progress.

“We’ve been told by the county since 2007, every year, that timing is wrong,” Ross said. “The timing is always wrong.”

He noted in a later interview that it’s not just him driving incorporation; the chamber’s board of directors voted unanimously last year for him to propose the study.

A WARM RECEPTION

Rodden rides network of international cyclists

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Pat Rodden didn’t have to fall on his head to decide to take his passion for cycling to the next level.

But he did.

Rodden, a life-long cycling enthusiast, fell from the rafters of his Clinton home in 2009. He was hospitalized for nearly eight months. During that time, he said, he underwent four surgeries and was briefly comatose.

Doctors said he wouldn’t survive, but if he did, he’d be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

“I’ve stunned people so much,” said Rodden, who has almost fully recovered from his head and other injuries.

Today, Rodden said he is grateful for his capabilities and is using a quickly growing international nonprofit called Warm Showers to transform his passion for cycling into a life quest.

Warms Showers is a free worldwide hospitality exchange for touring cyclists.

Those who sign up must be willing to host touring cyclists from time to time in exchange for access to the same accommodations themselves.

Rodden’s Coupeville home is one of 14 that are available on Whidbey Island through Warm Showers.

He learned about the organization about a year ago from a fellow cyclist during a ride in Freeland.

Rodden’s hospitalization left him on a limited income and without a vehicle, so the Warm Showers program allows him to see parts of the country and the world on a budget. He also opened up his home immediately to other cyclists and said the decision has enriched his life.

“I was just astounded by the people you meet,” Rodden said. “These people are totally intriguing.”

Rodden said he’s hosted cyclists from San Diego, Phoenix, Belgium, France, Canada, China and Syria. In most cases, the people who stay with him immediately offer him a place to stay if he happens through their communities, Rodden said.

A Belgian visitor left him with a pound of Belgian chocolates with a note that said, “Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with the world!”

Pat Rodden’s passion for cycling led to his involvement in Warm Showers, a hospitality exchange.

Peter and Shahla Nygaard of Canada also left a note upon their departure.

“Your openness and generosity have strengthened our faith in humanity,” the couple wrote.

“Your story is remarkable and inspiring.”

“You get it right back, it’s just incredible,” Rodden said.

Membership in Warm Showers grew 57 percent internationally during 2014, a “phenomenal pace,” according to the organization’s 2014 report, available online.

Warm Showers reported a total of 55,743 members at yearend, with 23,220 of those from

North America.

Founded in 1993, the organization began simply with a list of participants, which was later placed online and then later put into the database and map that can be seen today.

The Warmshowers.org Foundation was created in recent years to improve its sustainability, and later became a nonprofit group with a board of directors, according to its website.

Rodden said he plans to stay with other Warm Showers participants this summer as he completes both the Seattle-toSpokane Cannonball route and

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from Banff, Canada, to Antelope Wells, New Mexico.

While obtaining room and board on the cheap is an amazing resource, Rodden said he most values the sense of community and camaraderie that exists between cyclists of all nationalities.

“They socially have the same interests, and there’s a similarity from person to person even if they are from a completely different place in the world,” Rodden said.

“It’s pretty amazing.” n For more information visit warmshowers.org

JOCELYN SKYE BESHIRS, 6 pounds, 2 ounces, was born June 14. She is the daughter of Michael and Krysta Beshirs of Oak Harbor.

When my Doctor down at Swedish Hospital asked where I wanted to go for rehab after my surgery, I told him Fidalgo without hesitation. I had been here for rehab before, so returning was an easy decision. My care, treatment and Physical Therapy have been outstanding and Dr. Llewelyn’s care of me has been just wonderful. I don’t just believe it, but I know it because I have experienced it!

I was expected to recover here for 2-3 weeks, but I have since developed Gout in my hand and it has slowed me down a bit.

The Physical Therapy team, especially Mark and Jessie, have been creative and relentless in my recovery. They continue to find new ways to work me since I am unable to hold the walker.

I really appreciate how inviting the staff are to guests and they are happy to feed them.

The best part about being here is the workouts and getting back into shape. I feel that if you don’t take advantage of all of the service that they offer, then why are you here? ~Dave Farmer

DRY CONTINUED FROM A1 getting some municipalities to start thinking more conservatively.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, who also serves as the county’s fire marshal, has issued a total burn ban in the county starting Monday, June 29.

The last time he did that was two years ago.

“Conditions now are worse than they were in 2013,” he said.

In Coupeville, only 0.22 inches of rainfall was recorded in May and 0.49 inches in June, said Dave Broberg, who tracks Coupeville weather from his certified weather station atop the Blue Goose Inn, which he owns.

In Oak Harbor, 0.37 inches of rainfall was measured in June at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

“This is usually the begin-

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

ning of the dry season historically,” Brown said. “I think this is probably the earliest I can remember since I’ve been here (since 1994) having this kind of heat so early that we’ve had. It doesn’t take very long for everything to dry out.”

Brown’s order calls for a ban of any outdoor burning of natural debris and no open fires, including cooking fires.

The exception is charcoal and gas barbecue grills that rest on non-combustible surfaces a minimum of 10 feet from natural vegetation.

Brown issued a modified burn ban June 23 then opted for a more restrictive measure.

Brush fire season is off to an early start on Whidbey with two already this week on opposite ends of the island.

“The big thing is for people to be careful,” said Marv Koorn, fire chief at North Whidbey Fire and Rescue.

Despite the countywide burn ban, fireworks are still allowed to be discharged beginning at noon Sunday,

TAKING A TOLL CONTINUED FROM A1 land farmers that rely on rain such as Smith scrambling for creative ways to irrigate their crops.

She said she’s spent about $2,500 more on drip hose this year than in typical years.

But that didn’t help her Rockwell Bean crop that she planted in late May that depended on help from the sky to keep the seedlings moist.

The lack of water cost her about 80 percent of the heirloom bean plants, which she was planning to replant. A fungal disease known as rust hurt the size of her garlic, another one of her Willowood Farm staples.

“We’re going to take a financial hit, that’s for sure,”

Smith said, guessing the losses in sales could be $30,000$40,000. “I do grow a lot of crops. Hopefully, it will even out.”

Smith’s farm includes a small pond that collects rainwater and is used for irrigation.

Wilbur and Julieanna Purdue of Prairie Bottom Farm, also on the prairie, use water collected from a series of rain barrels but this year resorted to tapping into their water from the Town of Coupeville.

“We’re trying something we’ve never done with drip tape,” Wilbur Purdue said.

“Every year is a different challenge. This year it’s a dry challenge.”

June 28 and continuing through July 5.

Island County follows state law regarding sale and discharge periods for fireworks.

Brown said he can understand confusion created by these conflicting regulations.

“Let’s take a real common sense attitude about this,” Brown said. “We can have fun with fireworks. But we have to have a real understanding that we can have a fire as a result there of. I just don’t want to see a real tragedy occur. Let’s think about what we’re doing here.”

Should this dry weather pattern continue, Brown said it could be time to look at stricter regulations regarding fireworks in Island County.

But to incorporate fireworks into a burn ban would require a county ordinance and a process with the state that would take about a year, he said.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she’s in favor of a clause in the county code that gives

the fire marshal the authority to further restrict fireworks based on extreme conditions.

“I was hoping we would have been able to do that this year,” she said.

Ed Hartin, fire chief at Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue, said the dry conditions he’s seeing are comparable to those seen in August and September.

“The thing that worries me the most is we have a lot of fuel on the ground,” said Hartin, referring to tall grasses, bushes and trees that are already drier than usual.

“And it hasn’t been burned for a long time.”

Hartin knows the warmest weather is yet to come.

“We potentially face some challenges if things dry out because we do have large amounts of fuel.”

As things get drier, Hartin suggests residents near woods consider reducing the fuel sources between their homes and woods.

Island County rarely en-

The Purdues are taking advantage of the warm weather by trying out crops that favor drier conditions.

Most of Smith’s crops also are benefitting from the extra sun.

Dale Sherman of Sherman’s Pioneer Farm Produce has no complaints so far.

“Weatherwise, I’m probably one of the only farmers over here that’s thinking this is pretty cool because my squash and my pumpkins are just growing like wildfire,” he said.

Still, Sherman knows that prolonged dryness could have adverse effects and realizes the traditional warmer months are yet to come.

Rainfall in Coupeville was .23 inches in May and .53 inches in June, according to readings taken by the town’s public works department.

The warm weather resulted in earlier cuttings of hay crops. But earlier doesn’t always mean better.

“We’ve seen a reduction in yield because of dry conditions,” said Central Whidbey farmer Don Sherman.

The dry weather also has caused strawberry and blueberry season to arrive a few weeks earlier than usual.

In the case of Bell’s Farm, a strawberry season that traditionally lasts through the Fourth of July holiday weekend is already done for the season.

The strawberry and vegetable farm opened for the you-pick season on May 28, the earliest that farm co-owner Frank Mueller can remember since the 1970s.

Claire Lichtenfels of Huntersmoon Blueberries on North Whidbey said their late season blueberries are

counters large wildland fires, Hartin said. Since 2004, there have been a little more than 40 such fires in the county reported to the Department of Natural Resources. Those averaged just over a half acre in size and tended to occur more on North Whidbey and Camano Island than in Central and South Whidbey.

This year, Hartin’s department has already responded to several brush fires.

“It’s unusual,” he said.

North Whidbey Fire and Rescue responded to a brush fire near Polnell Point early Thursday morning.

It appeared that a campfire on the beach from the night before wasn’t put out completely or at all and the fire extended into nearby brush and up the side of the bluff, said Deputy Fire Chief Mike Brown.

Brown said it was the department’s first significant brush fire of the year but doesn’t anticipate it will be the last.

“We’re definitely aware of the drought and those issues,” he said.

Koorn said conditions are as dry as he’s seen in at least 10 years. He’s been with North Whidbey Fire and Rescue for 37 years.

“I think I’m concerned if we stay this way,” he said.

“We’ve been this dry before.

It’s an awfully dry year.”

The entire state is facing drought conditions.

A drought emergency was declared by Gov. Jay Inslee last month due to the worst mountain snowpack in decades.

Because of low snow pack in the Cascade Mountains, the City of Oak Harbor has asked water users to voluntarily conserve water. Oak Harbor’s water is pumped in from the Skagit River.

Coupeville hasn’t taken that step yet. Its water comes from an underground aquifer and not the snowpack.

“It isn’t necessary right now,” Conard said.

A drip hose is being used for the first time at Prairie Bottom Farm in Coupeville to give young vegetables a drink of water. well ahead of schedule and should be ripe by the middle of July at the latest. Normally, that doesn’t happen until August.

It’s been a strange year for growers with a mixture of favorable and poor results.

“This is getting to be a serious situation for farmers,” said Karen Bishop of the Whidbey Conservation District. “The vegetable row croppers who are very dependent on interspersed summer rains, especially in June, are scrambling for

water. They do consecutive plantings of crops, especially greens -- lettuce, spinach -- to provide a consistent supply for consumers. Germination is a real problem with such sparse soil moisture.”

As most farmers, Smith did her homework by checking the seasonal forecasts.

“I looked at the numbers,” she said. “I wasn’t imagining this. It is really dry. But what can you do? You keep going and hope next year is better.

It’s what farmers do. We’re the ultimate gamblers.”

HOSPITAL CONTINUED FROM A1 commission member concerns about preserving a tree line separating the hospital from Careage of Whidbey by eliminating an additional parking lot.

Instead, the hospital found space for parking in other areas, said Marianne Manville-Ailles, a contracted planner for the Town of Coupeville hired to work on the project.

Because of the parking modifications, two parking spots were lost, but the amount of parking is still within requirements.

With the modified design, specific old growth trees will be saved near the parking lot and hospital staff took special consideration of that commission concern.

An arborist was brought in to evaluate the trees’ health and help identify needed buffer zones.

The hospital is also bringing in a contractor to help clean up dead branches and improve overall tree health.

“They have worked hard with the site,” Manville-Ailles said. “It’s a balancing act to make this new addition fit into an already developed site.”

The new design also increases landscap-

BODY

CONTINUED FROM A1 of trauma.

Police found Fleischmann’s car at the Orcas Island ferry dock, but that didn’t solve the mystery.

Fleischmann was last seen at noon on Wednesday at the restaurant, where he usually stopped by at lunchtime to get a Coke, Bishop said. A resident on Whidbey Island called 911 after finding his body in the surf off Moran Beach on Wednesday at 3:37 p.m.

Bishop said he’s had cases before in which people jump off of ferries, but he’s not sure at this point if that’s what might have happened in this case or if it’s even possible for the body to have drifted that far in just a few hours.

He plans on asking for the surveillance footage at the ferry dock.

Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said a citizen on the beach, which is near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, saw the body floating in the surf Wednesday afternoon.

The citizen pulled the body to shore, covered it and called 911.

Fleischmann lived alone and his only family is out of state.

TURN YOUR JUNK INTO

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: ARIES, TAURUS AND GEMINI.

Week of June 28 to July 4, 2015 ARIES

Time is a scarce commodity, so you have to be very organized in order to finish everything you’d planned on doing. You may also attend a fabulous event with some friends.

TAURUS

If you’re looking for a job, someone close to you could steer you in the direction of an amazing career. You undertake a project that’s close to your heart, even if it’s only a little trip.

GEMINI

Try to find some time for a vacation this summer. You have all the necessary tools to start your own business, and several people will be able to give you their support.

CANCER

You build harmony everywhere you go, bringing smiles to many people’s faces. You find all the solutions necessary in order to settle a debt or even buy a property.

LEO

You’re able to complete some important negotiations or a transaction that has been dragging on for ages. Don’t be afraid of change; it can only be to your benefit.

VIRGO

You end up being the centre of attention in one way or another. Expect some warm applause when you accomplish a brilliant exploit.

LIBRA

Don’t be surprised if one of your kids doesn’t really enjoy his or her day camp. You can correct the situation by giving your child a lot of love and attention; you may even take some time off work to do so.

SCORPIO

Plan on having a map or a GPS handy when on vacation, otherwise you risk going around in circles. A relaxing time at home would also be greatly appreciated.

CAPRICORN

Your family and friends won’t stop asking you to do all sorts of things for them. Fortunately, you’re a dedicated person and deep down you love pleasing others.

CA$H! We Buy...

PISCES

Your energy levels fluctuate a lot this week. You receive good news about the health of someone close to you, and you may feel like throwing a party to celebrate.
