Man sentenced to 5 years for beating

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

An Oak Harbor man was sentenced to prison Monday in a completely unprovoked assault that left another man with bleeding in his brain and a broken ankle.

As part of a plea bargain, Jacob Jungwirth, 29, pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court to

second-degree assault.

Judge Vickie Churchill agreed with the sentence recommended by both the defense and prosecution; she sentenced him to five years and six months in prison.

It was the second time that Jungwirth has pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and it also represents his second strike under the state’s

“three-strike law.” He would face life in prison if ever convicted of another felony that’s considered a strike.

Jungwirth’s first felony assault conviction was about five years ago when he was sentenced to a year and three months in prison for beating and strangling his then-girlfriend.

Most senior Oak Harbor officer ready to hang it up

dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com

If you’ve had to call the Oak Harbor police — or, ahem, been misbehaving — there’s a good chance you’ve met Steve Nordstrand.

He’s worked for Oak Harbor Police since 1985.

After 31 years, he worked his last

shift Tuesday. He’s the most senior officer on the force.

When he started, he made $1,400 a month, and Oak Harbor was a much smaller place.

“He’s the epitome of what an officer should be,” said police Chief Ed Green. “He’ll be missed.”

Time to vote for Best of Whidbey It’s time again for Whidbey News-Times readers to vote for their favorite businesses and people in their community.

Online voting for Best of Whidbey 2016 is underway via www.whidbeynewstimes.com, the newspaper’s website. Paper ballots will also appear in print editions of the News-Times, South Whidbey Record and The Whidbey Examiner.

Last year’s Best of Whidbey awards luncheon was so successful that an evening banquet at a larger venue, the Elks Lodge, is scheduled for July 22.

Tickets will be limited.

The purpose of the lighthearted contest is to give readers a fun way to show their appreciation and support for great services and great people.

This year’s list of categories is a streamlined a bit but still includes such awards as Best Business and Best Businessperson, according to Keven Graves, publisher of the Whidbey News Group.

Last year, nearly 3,000 readers cast more than 69,750 votes online. Graves said his hope is to see 5,000 people casting votes this year.

“We are excited about all the community involvement for this event,” said Associate Publisher Kim Winjum, whose team organized last year’s successful awards luncheon.

Most of the categories include the top vote-getting nominees from last year. There is also the option of submitting write-in nominations.

“We strive to improve the contest each year,” said Graves.

“We take into account what our readers tell us they’d like to see.”

Key awards, including Business of the Year and Best Businessperson, are by nomination only.

Winners of the 2016 Best of Whidbey will be announced in a special section included in the Saturday, July 23 News-Times — after the awards banquet.

This piggy went to Holland Happening

By DEBRA VAUGHN

dvaughn@whidbeynewstimes.com

As if 3,000 pounds of pork isn’t enough, chef Scott Fraser is adding one more gigantic oinker to the Pigfest celebration.

He’s purchased a two-story tall inflatable pink pig to bring attention to the summertime festival, which is part eat-fest and part barbecue competition.

He hasn’t named the giant pig yet, but the inflatable made an appearance at the Holland Happening parade over the weekend. And she’ll be popping up other places, too.

She might show up in some unexpected places.

“I want the pig to be an ambassador,” said the mustachioed Fraser, who owns Frasers Gourmet Hideaway in downtown Oak Harbor.

Who doesn’t like a gigantic inflatable pig?

This year Pigfest is scheduled for noon to 5 p.m.

Aug. 14. It’s the ninth year of the festival, which Fraser founded as a “thank you” to the community. The event happens with the help of donations. Last year, nearly

Scott Fraser, founder of Pigfest, purchased a 15-foot tall inflatable pig. He plans to inflate it for special events. $20,000 was raised for charity.

People can nosh on a barbecue lunch or take in the entertainment. This year there will be games, vaudeville acts and clowns, a

climbing wall, arts and crafts vendors and — if you’re still hungry — a hot dog and pieeating contest.

The event also is a Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association competition and Fraser is hoping Miss

Giant Piggy will bring not only more festival-goers but also more barbecuers to Oak Harbor. Twenty-five teams from Canada and the Northwest will compete in pork butt, pork ribs, chicken and brisket categories.

OHHS students first in DECA competition Oak Harbor High School students Preston Rankin, Eric Jensen and Tyren Perdue finished first in a national DECA competition in the virtual business sports category.

Twelve Oak Harbor students qualified for the competition held in Nashville last week. Nine of those were in the virtual business categories — two teams in sports and two teams in hotel.

The other three students, Hannah Knoll, Resego Mooki and Mara Powers, qualified in School-Based Enterprise where they presented the operations of the Oak Harbor High School student store and how it compares to other schools in the nation.

That team qualified for finals and made it on stage, meaning they finished in the top 20 nationally, said DECA adviser Eric Peterson.

In virtual business hotel, two teams finished in the top eight after two days of a bracket-style competition.

Ryan Valencia finished sixth overall.

The team of Quentin Tungate and Noah Zuniga finished third at the competi-

tion, earning a $1,500 prize.

In the virtual business sports category, the team of Taylor Heidt, Krista Alamo, and Maya Krantz advanced through a couple rounds but did not make finals. In the virtual business, students qualify regionally through two competitions online.

This year there were over 38,000 teams that competed for a spot at nationals. Of those, 96 teams advanced and Oak Harbor High School had four of those teams.

At nationals, students have 15 minutes of head-tohead competition with eight teams to see who is most profitable in that time.

In the case of Virtual Business sports, they ran a football franchise, controlling things like promotions, ticket sales, concessions, staffing for a stadium and parking.

They must make the most money in one season.

In virtual business hotel they control booking rooms, advertising, parties/group events, staffing, and are trying to get the highest customer satisfaction rating, employee satisfaction, and profit combined.

Our way to say Thank You!

Art show to highlight artists from all parts of Whidbey

By KATE DANIEL

T

kdaniel@whidbeynewsgroup.com

he image of a skull melting in waves of neon may not be everyone’s idea of uplifting; but for artist Alex Beech, one such painting has been so in more ways than one.

Beech is an art student at Coupeville High School, one of a few dozen high school artists from South Whidbey, Coupeville and Oak Harbor high schools whose work will be on display this weekend during the Showcase of the Arts: All-Island High School Art Show.

Art will be on display from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7 at the Coupeville Library.

A reception for the artists, open to the public, will take place from 5-8 p.m.

Friday with awards to be presented at 7 p.m.

Local artists will judge pieces in five categories: wall art, which includes paintings and drawings; photography; ceramics; jewelry/wearable art; and sculpture.

Ribbons and cash prizes of $100, $60 and $20 will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners in each category, respectively.

In addition, a special photography award of $100 will be given by Nancy Hodges in memory of her late father who was a professional photographer.

The show is sponsored by the American Association of University Women and Friends of the Coupeville Library.

Though pieces range in media as they do in subject matter, many of the students’ works convey a message, or are of personal significance.

For Beech and others, the experience marks a few important creative milestones.

The piece is the first Beech will be sharing in a public setting.

The format is also relatively new to Beech, who had much more experience wielding a pen and ink rather than a paint brush, as is the subject matter.

Death wasn’t something he had previously explored through his art, though doing so, he said, helped him to ascend from his own darkness.

“I was going through some pretty tough crap in my life when I was working on this,” he said. “I was kind of in a dark place and I feel like, quite ironically, this has brought a bit more light into my life. I’m a lot happier, especially having it done.”

For several students, the show itself can also be a platform for growth and a boost of confidence.

“It was uplifting and really eye-opening,” said Will Stuntz of last year’s AAUW show. Stuntz, a student at OHHS, also recently won first place in a regional show for his metalsmith

work.

Teachers like OHHS’s Kit Christopherson noted that, just as it is important for performing arts students to perform for live audiences, it is equally important for his students to share their work with the community.

These types of experiences also impart to the students that their efforts and talents are being recognized, and that the community cares for them and their work, he added.

“We’re not just high schoolers messing around.

We take it seriously,” said OHHS senior Alana Acosta.

Acosta recently received the prestigious Governor’s Choice Award for her piece “Depixed” at the 43rd Annual Superintendent’s High School Art Show.

Dottie Sanders, AAUW member, retired art teacher and judge, said she anticipates it will be difficult this year, as in years previous, to choose just a few winners.

“The children do phenomenal work,” she said.

Gun shop decidedly ‘old school’

BUSINESS BRIEFS

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

The old-time Western-style facade of Greene’s Gunshop on North Whidbey hints at what lies within: a dark woodpaneled, homey-feeling tribute to history. Sure, you can find some modern-day rifles and handguns at Greene’s, and there’s a pistol range out back. But the emphasis is firmly on the past.

“We’ve gone backwards into the old school,” said Claudette Greene, daughter of founders Richard and Jackie Greene, during a recent visit. “We’re not into the modern stuff. We do a lot of black powder.”

“We’re more into muzzleloaders and cowboy guns.”

Nudging aside one of the four dogs that lounge behind the counters, she pulled two wooden rifles off a rack.

Both had tiger maple stocks, massive octagonal iron barrels and percussion-cap firing mechanisms. They fire .54-caliber balls roughly a half-inch in diameter, have all-iron fittings (no reflective brass to give away your position), use black powder as a propellant and weigh a hefty 10-1/2 pounds. They can kill a buffalo at 200 yards.

“These are handmade Hawken rifles, historically correct,” Greene said. “They’re basically what mountain men would carry -— people like Jim Bridger and Kit Carson.

But maybe only after they retired, because they were expensive.”

Popular in the 1830s through 1860s, the muzzleloaders cost $25 to $32 back then. The modern versions Green was showing off sell for $2,600 to $3,200.

Mind you, these are not just any Hawken rifles.

Several makers turn out rifles by that name, but only one — The Hawken Shop, which operates alongside Greene’s

Greg Roberts manages Greene’s Gunshop and operates The Hawken Shop with Claudette Greene, daughter of gunshop founders Richard and Jackie Greene.

Gunshop — is a direct descendant of the business started in the early 1800s by St. Louis gunmakers Jake and Sam Hawken, said store manager Greg Roberts. He and Claudette own and run The Hawken Shop, manufacturing the rifles four days a week and running the gun shop the other three.

After the Hawken brothers died, a St. Louis businessman continued making the rifles they had pioneered, using their original tools and machinery, until he closed his shop in 1915. The gear lay unused for more than 50 years until an enthusiast bought it in the early 1960s and started up production, making 300 guns before he, too, closed his doors in the early 1980s.

Greene and Roberts bought the business in December 1990, and now turn out a maximum of five rifles per month. They are built from scratch, by hand, with no outside help. The guns are usable for hunting, but “we sell them more for Service available on Hondas, Yamahas & most other makes!

the history than the function,” Roberts said. “Samuel Hawken was a real guy who did real things. There’s still a mystique around the fur trade, the mountain men — these were some of the toughest men in American history. They didn’t have cell phones to call for help.”

The recent remake of “The Revenant” has produced an uptick in the cyclical interest in old guns, Roberts said, lamenting the generally poor understanding of American history common today. “I can tell where in the country ‘Jeremiah Johnson’ has been on TV lately, because that’s where we get calls from the next day,” he said. Most of his Hawken sales come over the Internet.

Greene’s also sells muzzleloading revolvers, replicas of pistols used by cowboys and during the Civil War. Some of them sell for $200 to $300.

It carries a large line of modern lever-action Henry rifles, ranging from $300 to $2,600, and a large assortment of accessories, espe-

cially catering to muzzleloaders. One case shows off Claudette’s scrimshaw, which she creates by etching fine designs onto cow horns with a needle. She’s a trained engraver who also helps do old-fashioned hot bluing and refinishing.

The late Richard Greene, eldest of 13 children from a sharecropping family, founded Greene’s Gunshop in 1960 after having retired from the Navy. His widow, Jackie, still works behind the counter.

Last year’s revenues were about $250,000, Roberts said, and “we have diversified enough so that we can make a living. Not make a killing.

Make a living.” If Richard Greene hadn’t bought the 36 acres surrounding the store for $2,000 in 1948 and built up the business over the years, “this wouldn’t be sustainable.” n Greene’s Gunshop, at 4778 Monkey Hill Road, Oak Harbor is open Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone number is 360675-3421.

OH Dairy Queen slated for May 12 reopening Workers are due to complete a $400,000 remodel to the Dairy Queen off State Highway 20 in Oak Harbor in time for a May 12 re-opening, coowners Ron Baxter and Donald Dreyer said.

The building hadn’t been significantly remodeled since it was built in the late 1980s, the men said.

Redoing the exterior began in September. Workers closed the lobby Jan. 4 for construction, but kept the drive-through open through March 7.

“When you’re closed you lose a lot of money, but we believe that, if Oak Harbor likes the remodel, they’ll come back and see us,” Baxter said. “We want to give back to Oak Harbor,” he said. “It’s worth it.”

The men said the store generated $1 million to $1.2 million in revenue last year and is “very profitable.”

Saar’s switching name to Super Saver Foods Saar’s Marketplace in Oak Harbor was slated to officially change its name to Saar’s Super Saver Foods on Wednesday, General Manager John Hames said Monday.

Both brand-names are used on Saar’s stores, which are part of Unified Grocers, a retailer-owned wholesale grocery co-op, according to the Saar’s website.

“We’re always known for our great produce pricing and great value, but in our Super Saver format, we try to cut more pricing in all departments,” Hames said.

The Oak Harbor store, at 32199 State Highway 20, is having a “grand opening” to celebrate its new name, he said.

Saar’s has six other stores in Washington state, all but two — in Lakewood and Tacoma — operating under the Super Saver brand-name.

Deadline nears to Protestors plan gathering at Deception Pass save historic home

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

By RON NEWBERRY

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

After three and a half years of attempting to save a 19th century home from an uncertain future, Lynn Hyde is trying to remain hopeful in the face of a looming fundraising deadline.

The nonprofit group, Historic Whidbey, has led a campaign to raise $250,000 to acquire the 1866 Haller House in Coupeville, but so far has only raised about $25,000, with a May 19 deadline approaching.

“We are scrambling like crazy to try to dig a little more treasure out of the ground,” said Hyde, the group’s president.

“Really, everything above ground, we’ve already hit.”

The preservation group recently received a boost when an anonymous donor from Seattle challenged others by offering to donate $50,000 toward the house if others will match that amount.

Historic Whidbey wants to purchase the house from the McPherson family in Coupeville and turn it into a heritage and visitor center for public benefit as well as a pioneer store.

The center would be a showcase of Washington’s territorial period before statehood came in 1889,

Hyde contends.

Coupeville has the highest concentration of surviving territorial-era structures in Washington, she said.

By matching the recent pledge, Hyde is hopeful it could create some late momentum.

“We would begin to be in shouting distance,” Hyde said.

If the money isn’t raised, the view home on Front Street likely would be placed on the market with its fate undetermined.

The Haller House was placed on the Most Endangered Historical Properties list in 2013 by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.

Historic Whidbey is hosting one final open house to show the home built by Col. Granville Haller, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 14 during the Penn Cove Water Festival.

“I think the message to take away from this is we all love our historic community and we love the heritage here,” Hyde said.

“But it takes vigilance.

It’s never done. Once these houses are gone, they’re never coming back.” n For more information about the house or how to contribute, visit www.his toricwhidbey.org

At least 1,200 people are expected to mass at March Point in Anacortes May 13-15 to protest U.S. reliance on fossil fuels, tying up half the campsites at Deception Pass State Park and jeopardizing a vital Puget Sound Energy electrical substation, Eric Brooks, the county’s deputy emergency-management director, told the Council of Governments last week.

Protest group Break Free PNW plans to “put our bodies on the line to stop the fossilfuel economy and change history” at that event, according to its website. “Hundreds of people will risk arrest by engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.”

The Shell and Tesoro refineries at March Point are responsible for 47 percent of all the gasoline and diesel consumed in the Northwest, the group said.

The protesters reserved 152 of the 320 campsites at the Deception Pass State Park campground and plan to use that area as one of their staging areas, said Jack Hartt, the park’s manager.

Hartt said he had “high anxiety” about the event until he met face-to-face with organizers last week for two hours.

“That high anxiety dropped to just another concern after we spoke,” he said.

“We get large groups in here all the time. My concern is that the park be protected and that visitors have the experience they’re seeking,

DONATIONS NEEDED!!

and they assured me that’s what they want as well.”

Just the same, Hartt said, back-up plans are in place, including bringing in extra staff, working longer shifts and coordinating with law enforcement.

Numerous homeowners in Anacortes and on Whidbey have offered protestors beds, sofas and floor space, Brooks said. Some protestors will arrive at the protest site by water, on kayaks, while others will arrive by land to demonstrate outside the refineries’ gates.

Puget Sound Energy has hired off-duty Washington State Patrol officers to guard its substation, said Dom

Best of Whidbey voting continues until May 31 PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

Voting for Best of Whidbey 2016 is under way. The annual contest is a fun and engag-

ing way for readers of the Whidbey NewsTimes to pick their favorite businesses, foods, drinks, people and more.

Last year, nearly 3,000 people cast more than 69,750 votes online. Additional votes were submitted via the print editions of the Whidbey News-Times, South Whidbey Record and The Whidbey Examiner.

The premise of the contest is very simple: It is open to nominations in all categories. The entries that receive the highest number of reader votes are deemed the winners and recognized during a special event in July.

Winners also earn full bragging rights for the coming year.

There are some nominees who actively seek votes from their customers and friends, either in person or via social media.

There are no rules precluding this. Again, the intent of the Best of Whidbey is to have fun and engage people.

Although the Best of Whidbey has been conducted for many years by the Whidbey News-Times, the contest has adapted to a changing landscape, particularly in reaching more readers online. In its beginnings, all the ballots were published in the newspaper, and had to be hand-counted, a process that took days, sometimes weeks. The person who had the task of counting the votes finished each day with hands blackened by the papers’ ink.

The majority of the voting is now done online, though there will be ballots included in print editions of the News-Times and its sister newspapers. The newspaper ballots will be added to the online votes. Reaching the final tally is as simple as pushing a button on the computer to tabulate the results.

To find the ballot online, you can go to www.whidbeynewstimes. com and click on the “Best of Whidbey” button in the upper right corner, or you can type http://whidbey.secondstreetapp.com/l/Bestof-Whidbey-2016 directly into your search bar.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR COER

Selfish to complain about Growler noise Editor, What has happened to our country? From Carl Sandburg’s “Broad Shoulders of Chicago” in the 1920s, we have now arrived at a time when many of our people have become whining, sniveling victims with a “poor, poor, pitiful me” attitude on their horrible existence.

Can you imagine if these people had to live in London during the Blitz, or the siege of Leningrad in which a million people died, or suffered the fate of perhaps 300,00 Chinese during the “Rape of Nanking”?

No, they have to suffer a far worse fate — the sound of the EA-18G Growler. From their utterly selfish point of view, they fail to see one thing — a naval aviator is at the top of his game, or is at the bottom of the ocean.

Training is the name of this game.

Even a so-called staunch supporter of the Navy, Rep. Rick Larsen, calls for less training. I guess anything for a vote, even if it means the obvious to some of our pilots.

I, like so many others, am at a point

where COER and like-minded individuals, who probably never served, should just pack up and move to some remote, quiet place. After all, the Navy was here long before most of them were even born.

Should they eventually get the Navy out of Oak Harbor, it wouldn’t be long before tumbleweeds would be blowing down State Highway 20, most of the businesses closed, hundreds of houses vacant, and a collapse of the local economy.

The community cannot survive on tourist dollars and pot shops alone.

Logging

Forest Practices Act is about profiting Editor, Thank you for your discussion of Island County logging.

The state Forest Practices Act is not about conservation, it is about profiting from a commodity called trees, which have a very slow maturity.

Why? The refineries there produce 47 percent of the gasoline and diesel consumed in the Northwest. They are already our largest source of greenhouse gas emissions; nevertheless they plan to triple production, bringing more toxic tar sand bitumen and Bakken crude through our communities.

Safety

Commercial airlines need aft-facing seats Editor, Would aft-facing seats improve survivability and reduce injuries of aircraft crash landings?

In a commercial aircraft, installing aft-facing seats will improve the survivability in an aircraft crash landing.

Even a cursory analysis of the problem will show that having passengers seated in aft-facing seats will improve their survivability and with fewer injuries from an aircraft crash landing than with forward-facing seats.

In forward-facing seats, when an aircraft crashes the passengers are

LOOKING BACK: FROM THE ARCHIVES

slammed forward with a huge force.

This force may cause numerous injuries and even death. Their seatbelt could cause neck and head injuries, internal injuries and even death.

In an aft-facing seat, the seat itself will absorb most of the force. The head rest will limit the head being slammed backward and the seat will stop the body from going backward.

In my view there is no other change that aircraft designers can make that will improve survivability and reduce injuries in aircraft crash landings.

Granted, there is a major physiological problem. Unless the public is apprised of the benefits of aft-facing seats, they may be reluctant to board an aircraft. They may recognize that this configurations could be the difference between life and death.

Once an airline does a pilot program of this change and proves it successful, it is predicted that the entire world industry will make this change.

The word is that the United States military has used aft-facing seats for many years with no significant problems. If so, why hasn’t the industry adopted it? It could be that the right decision-makers are so busy with other matters they haven’t been apprised of its merits.

Though this proposal does not address an aircraft fire resulting from a crash landing, it is noted that an aftfacing passenger is much less likely to be injured and should be able to exit the aircraft successfully before it’s engulfed in flames.

I have written to the director of the FAA, CEO of Alaska Airlines, the Boeing Co. and even President Obama urging their support of a pilot program.

Will the addressed decision-makers act on my message?

Whidbey farms producing more than 600 cans of milk every day 100 years ago (1916 — Oak Harbor News) n The paper’s news editor drove to the island’s south end and “found that a vast amount of work is needed to make (the roads) passable. If that Mukilteo ferry goes through, our county commissioners will be forced to get busy,” it said. n Though the Klondike Gold Rush (1896-99) was long over, “about 125 men wintered near Rude Creek, between Whitehorse and Dawson, in the Yukon,” a page-one story said. “Rude and Jensen took out 50 ounces of coarse gold last fall and expect to recover $20,000 to $25,000 this season.” n “There are two distinct ways of forming a dairy herd: buying or breeding, or those two methods may be combined,” read part of an item from a column titled “High School Department.” n 100 pounds of barbed wire cost $4.75, and a pound of Schillings coffee cost 40 cents, at Shillings Goods. n Acorn Flour and Feed Mill, in Oak Harbor, offered acorn whole-wheat flour for sale, claiming it “makes the most wholesome and nutritious bread of any.”

75 years ago (1941 — Farm Bureau News) n The 1941 Whidbey Island Salmon Sweepstakes offered more than $500 in cash prizes. n Gerritt Wiedraayer took possession of the Red & White Grocery Store, which he bought from York Dyer. The business was to be operated under the name Gerrit’s Red & White Grocery. n Harry J. Ploegsma, a member of the board of Skagit County Dairymen’s Association, said the group was getting more than 600 cans of milk daily from Whidbey Island, all of which went to Burlington. The island is becoming “the Guernsey Island of America,” the story rhapsodized. Dairying was the single largest industry on the island, it said. n More peas, as well as more pork, dairy products, eggs, poultry, snap beans and corn, were necessary to ensure ample food supplies for the U.S., Great Britain “and other nations resisting aggression,” a page-one story said. Island County had 500 acres planted with peas, a crop that does not deplete the soil. n Low-income families and people connected with the Works Progress Administration could par-

ticipate in a mattress-making program. The state extension service held demonstrations of how to make a mattress using government-supplied cotton, ticking and percale. It took two days for two people to make each mattress.

50 years ago (1966 — Whidbey News-Times) n Proposed low-income senior “villages” in Langley and Oak Harbor won federal approval. n Wayne Bartleson was named Oak Harbor’s citizen of the year for his civic-mindedness. n Oak Harbor’s Maple Leaf Cemetery was “being desecrated and vandalized by horses, dogs and people,” a page-one story said. Horses were knocking over gravestones, packs of dogs were “adding to the general untidiness” and people were removing potted plants and digging up planted trees and shrubs. n A fire closed the Oak Harbor Dairyland Freeze on Midway Boulevard. n The Whidbey Island Hospital Guilds decided to discontinue their annual Mardi Gras event because it took too much work. n Five pounds of Blue Bonnet margarine cost one dollar, and one pound of butter cost 69 cents, at the Payless in Freeland and Oak Harbor.

25 years ago (1991 — Whidbey News-Times) n A report from the Department of Defense showed it would cost $468 million to close Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, a page-one story said.

Island officials scoured Navy documents for flaws and “debatable assumptions” in an effort to persuade the military not to close the base. The publisher put his editorial on Page One, alarmed that Oak Harbor might lost 58 percent of its employment. He opined that the government had “failed miserably” in arguing the base should be closed. n Broad View Elementary fifth-graders finished 25th nationally against 1,700 schools in the annual All-Star Academic Team National Competition. n Coupeville teachers voted to strike for the first time in the school district’s history, but only for one day. They were supporting 21,000 teachers statewide who talked off their jobs to protest the state legislature’s failure to fully fund basic education, including their salaries.

OBITUARIES

Fulton

Lula M. Fulton

Lula Mae Fulton was born to Joseph and Ina Boggs in Spokane on Thursday, May 29, 1941. Lula passed away unexpectedly in Seattle on Monday, April 25, 2016, at the age of 74.

As Lula was growing up, she knew early on that she wanted to be a mother. In the chicken coop on the family farm, she would use the nests as cradles for her dolls to sleep. Lula was one of five siblings, all girls, including a set of twins.

Lula and the father of her girls, George Fulton, were high school sweethearts. They picked strawberries together and went on many motorcycle rides through their years at South Salem High School in Salem, Ore. Lula graduated in 1959. She and George eventually moved to Falls City, Ore. While Lula and George lived in Fall City, they raised their girls, Raneé and Brenda.

Lula was in her element. She was a mother. She could nurture, cook her magnificent pot roast with mashed potatoes and buttered corn and/or green beans, garden, craft intricate ceramics of all shapes and sizes, bake “bestever cookies” (chocolate chip with coconut and walnuts), prepare cheesecake for Raneé’s birthday, and extra fancy cupcakes for Brenda to take to school. She had a way of making the wrapping more decadent than the gift.

After the girls went off to college and began their adult lives, Lula worked for Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria, Ore., for a number of years. During this time, she perfected her gardening skills and created immaculate flowerbeds. Lula liked the smell of lilacs and she appreciated the color and precision of tulips and daffodils. She constructed birdbaths with floating glass globes and placed stepping stones to beautify her lovely garden.

Lula retired when she

was 70 and moved to Oak Harbor to be near her daughter Raneé and some of her grandchildren. She made trips to the Puyallup area to see Brenda and family and to help with Brenda’s farm and garden.

Those surviving Lula are her daughters, Raneé (Steven) Bristow, of Oak Harbor, and Brenda (John) Music, of Roy; her sisters, Shirley Coffelt of Dallas, Ore., and Marvel FossholmWagner (Wally Wagner) of Salem, Ore.; and numerous grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

Preceding Lula in death are her parents, Joseph (Ina) Boggs; both her sister Selva and brother-in-law Wayne Hadley of Silverton, Ore.; and her sister Velva Boggs and brother-in-law Darrell Coffelt of Dallas, Ore.

Gary Lee Mattox passed away at age 71 in the Arizona Heart Hospital in Phoenix, Ariz., on April 27, 2016. He had developed a massive infection around his pacemaker.

He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on March 16, 1945.

He moved to Coupeville when he was about 10 years old.

He is survived by his brother Roy (Mike) Mattox, of Carnation; his niece Diane Neuman, of Spring, Texas; his nephews, Harry and Chris Allen; and many cousins and other extended family members.

He was preceded in death by his sister Gail Welches, his mother Jean and father Roy. Gary was a hell of a nice guy. People knew him as the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back. He spent his working life as a cook at various restaurants in Washington, Las Vegas, Alaska and, finally, in Arizona. He gave away his share of free lunches to people who needed them. That was the way he was. He was a very independent person.

His family and friends will miss him greatly.

n The cause, meaning and importance of dreams and nightmares will be discussed at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4 at LIFETREE CAFE. The program, titled “Dreams and Nightmares: The Science Behind the Stories of Your Mind,” features a filmed interview with Dr. William Moorcroft, author of “Understanding Sleep and Dreaming.” In the interview, Moorcroft explains that sleep is critical for our brains to function and dreams are a way for the mind to organize and process information. “There are different components in our brain, and when we’re awake, they function one way,” Moorcroft says. “When we sleep, that functional organization greatly changes.

Sleep is not a waste of time; it is a reorganization of the brain.” In the episode, Moorcroft also discusses the cause of recurring dreams and nightmares. Admission to the 60-minute event is free.

Malloy wins gold at Pan Ams Oak Harbor grad to compete in Rio Olympics

By JIM WALLER jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Marti Malloy, a 2004 Oak Harbor High School graduate, added another page to her scrapbook by winning a gold medal in judo at the Pan American Championships Friday in Havana.

The win was Malloy’s third straight at the event and lifted her to No. 3 in the

world rankings at 57kg.

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Malloy said. “It carried huge Olympic points.”

Malloy, who won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Games, locked up another Olympic berth and will represent the United States in Rio de Janeiro Aug. 5-21. The top 16 in the world rankings receive Olympic bids.

At the Pan Am Championships, Malloy opened the tournament with a pin in under 30 seconds against an opponent from Ecuador. It took her

less than 30 seconds to win round two as well, topping a Canadian with an arm bar.

She won the finals over the No. 1-ranked Canadian fighter.

“The final fight was important for me because the last time I fought the Canadian in the quarterfinals of the World Championships in Aug. 2015, I lost in overtime. It was nice to see the adjustments I have been making work for me.”

At the World Championships, she suffered a concussion in the bronze medal match with France’s top athlete and finished fifth.

“I redeemed that loss by beating the French girl at the Paris Grand Slam in February, taking a bronze.

I also won the Cuba Grand Prix in January.”

Next up is the World Master in Guadalajara May 27, where only the top 16 in each weight class are invited to attend.

“I will also do a warmup competition in June at the Budapest Grand Prix,” Malloy said, followed by training camps in Boston and France over the next few months.

Wolves wins 1st baseball championship since ’91

By JIM WALLER

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com

The Coupeville High School baseball team earned its first conference crown in 25 years with a 10-0 win over visiting Port Townsend Friday.

The Wolves also lost 3-0 at Chimacum Monday but can finish no worse than tied for first with Klahowya.

Klahowya (6-2, 15-4) and the Wolves (7-1, 10-9) meet in the regular-season finale at 3:30 p.m.

Wednesday, May 4, in Coupeville.

An Eagle win will lift Klahowya into a first-place tie with Coupeville, but the Wolves will still be the No. 1 Olympic League seed into the district tournament because of two wins over the Eagles earlier this season.

It took the Wolves’ offense a few innings to get humming in the win over winless Port Townsend (0-7, 0-14) Friday.

After Hunter Smith led off the bottom of the first with a single, no Wolf reached base until Smith bat-

ted again.

He hit a two-out single in the third, stole second and third base and scored on a passed ball to tally the game’s first run.

That ignited Coupeville, which added three runs in the fourth and six in the fourth.

Julian Welling singled, Kory Score reached on an error and Clay Reilly walked to load the bases in the fourth inning. Ethan Marx cleared the bases with a three-run base hit with two outs.

In the fifth, the first nine batters reached base and the first six scored to put the mercy rule into effect. The Wolves blended three errors, a walk and singles by Smith, Cole Payne, Welling, Score and Matt Hilborn to finish off the Redhawks.

Smith paced the offense with three hits and two runs. Welling had two hits and two runs.

Smith’s brother, CJ, blanked Port Townsend with a five-inning threehitter, striking out 10.

“Total team effort,” coach Marc

SPORTS IN BRIEF Prep Roundup The Coupeville softball team (3-5, 8-8) defeated visiting Port Townsend 16-3 Friday. Sarah Wright had

three hits, including a triple; Mikayla Elfrank added two singles; and Kailey Kellner tripled.

First-place Chimacum (7-0, 11-4) scored eight runs in the fifth inning on the way to defeating the visiting Wolves 14-4 Monday.

Wright had a triple and single, and Katrina McGranahan and Hope Lodell singled twice.

Aparicio said.

Reflecting on winning Coupeville’s first baseball pennant since 1991 in his first year as head coach, he said, “I’m just soaking it all in. I think it’s the good chemistry with the players and all the coaches.

“We’re having fun — that’s the key. I just happen to be in the right place at the right time, and I’m enjoying it.”

Monday, Chimacum scored all of the game’s runs in the first inning to hand visiting Coupeville its first conference loss.

“Played well but couldn’t get the bats working,” Aparicio said.

Chimacum (3-5, 6-10) used two hits and two errors to score its three first-inning runs.

The Wolves had runners on in five of the seven innings but couldn’t get the timely hit.

Eric Jensen scored on a penalty kick as the Oak Harbor soccer team (37-1, 4-9-2) won 1-0 at home over Meadowdale (2-9, 2-13) Friday. The Wildcats lost 4-3 at Mountlake Terrace (4-6-1, 4-7-4) Monday.

BEATING

Dike Road to close for 90 days

CONTINUED FROM A1 Monday, Jungwirth’s attorney, Matt Montoya of Coupeville, reminded Churchill about his client’s behavior during his last sentencing hearing. Jungwirth proposed to his then-girlfriend in court just before being led away to prison for 18 months.

The woman accepted, though the two are apparently no longer together; Churchill, however, was not happy about the outburst and nearly revoked his plea bargain.

Monday, Montoya said Jungwirth made a fool of himself with the courtroom proposal.

“I don’t think there’s ever been a time I wanted to smack a client on the side of the head, but it might have been that case,” he said.

Yet Montoya said his client has matured since then and wants to take responsibility for his actions. He described him as a very smart young man who has an ongoing problem with meth addiction but has a lot of potential.

Jacob Jungwirth stands in court with his attorney, Matt Montoya, during a hearing Monday.

Jungwirth read from a statement that he wrote, apologizing to the victim, his family, the people he’s hurt over the years and the community. He explained that he was on drugs when he committed the assault, hadn’t slept in days and was “battling demons.” He admitted that it wasn’t an excuse for his behavior.

Jungwirth said he plans to get help in prison, to get an education and to prove to himself and others that he can live a better life.

Deputy Prosecutor Michael Safstrom pointed out

the senselessness and severity of the assault. The 58-yearold victim was just standing outside his home and speaking with Jungwirth about the weather when Jungwirth hit him.

The victim suffered a broken ankle and a brain bleed. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he suffered additional complications.

“He’s in pretty bad shape,” Safstrom said.

In the end, Churchill urged Jungwirth to keep his written statement with him as a reminder of his goals.

The state’s Department of Transportation has announced it will close the southern half of Dike Road between May 9 and roughly Aug. 9.

During that time, traffic will be detoured to State Highway 20, East Frostad Road and Jones Road while road crews build a new dike and road.

The work is part of state Transportation’s Dugualla Bay environmental mitigation project, intended to restore saltwater marshes to 23 acres where settlers cre-

ated farmland by building a dike nearly 100 years ago.

The project will remove the existing road, build a new dike, build a new road on top of that dike, and breach the original dike, which is located a few hundred yards east of Dike Road.

Those actions will let water from Dugualla Bay flow into the area at high tide, while still protecting from flooding the homes and farmland between State Route 20 and Dike Road, the agency said.

RETIRING CONTINUED FROM A1 Nordstrand came to Oak Harbor via the Navy. He grew up in Minnesota. The choices were farming or long-haul trucking. He enlisted in the Navy, where he worked as an aviation machinist mate. His first duty station was Whidbey and he didn’t want to leave. He met and married his wife Cheryle. Becoming a police officer just seemed natural.

“My mom said that when I played cops and robbers, I was always the cop,” he said.

He worked for the police as a reserve officer before being hired. Over the years, he’s watched the town change and grow. It’s a much calmer place than it used to be, he said.

In particular, a drunken triangle of bars downtown kept his night shifts busy. And he did love the night shifts. He’d rather be busy than bored. It used to be he’d put away several DUIs a week. Now it’s more like one a month. That’s a good thing, he said.

If he’s too busy at work, it means the city is sick.

“This town has tamed down considerably,” he said.

When he first started, there were few portable radios and he often worked a shift solo.

If something went wrong — he was on his own. The city didn’t have its own jailer so he would book the people into jail he arrested.

Sometimes he had to step in if the dispatcher needed a break.

He doesn’t normally work nights anymore.

Nordstrand, who sports a bristled mustache, pours coffee into a mug that may not have been washed since 1985 and clutches it as he cruises the city. He’s looking for everything and anything. On his last shift, he was busy hunt-

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

ing down someone who had his motorcycle vandalized.

Most calls people make to 911 are not anything the police can do anything about, he said.

He rolled his eyes at a recent 911 call from a parent who couldn’t control her 6-year-old.

He’s learned a few things over the years. One of the most valuable skills is learning how to use brains, not brawn to defuse a tense situation.

Nordstrand is not a small man. But there are many moments when he needs to pull another tool from the box. For instance, that moment when he meets up with those two drunk brothers pushing 260 pounds who are loggers: “You aren’t going to take them,” he said. “I learned the verbal skills quickly for self preservation.”

He’s known in the department as the “crazy whisperer.” He can talk the difficult people down from a situation. “(He) was always very good at talking to people,” said officer Bill Wilkie. “He was our ‘go-to person’ on people with mental health or violent attitudes as he usually could get them calm when other officers or jailers did not have the same success.”

Here’s something Nordstrand didn’t learn in police academy. Sometimes, if it gets hairy, he sits on the hood of his car.

“It has to do with body language,” he said.

“I’ll just sit on my car. Maybe they’re thinking I’m in a vulnerable situation. That de-escalates the situation. I’m not here to get you, I’m here to listen to you.”

But, yes, he eventually gets them.

When he talks about his work, Nordstrand maintains a cop’s dry and dark sense of humor.

The people left standing are on his mind, so much so he didn’t want to talk about some of the horrific scenes he’s attended over the years.

Nobody calls the police when everything is going right, he said.

He’s held a number of roles over the year.

Wednesday, May 4, 2016 • Whidbey News-Times

He steered children toward the right path as a DARE instructor, and was one of the original members of a joint city-county SWAT team.

He’s a SCUBA diver certified for rescue and evidence recovery. He’s done more recovering of the dead.

He did get to “drive” a F-700 truck under water as it was towed after it rolled off a ferry at Clinton.

In the 1990s he was the handler of Zeke, a 105-pound Rottweiler and Oak Harbor’s finest K9 officer. Nordstrand trained Zeke as a puppy, and the dog accompanied his human everywhere. Zeke would chase down suspects. He’d also serve as ambassador. Nordstrand could let him loose in a class full of first graders to make friends.

“He was one of the friendliest dogs — as long as I was around,” he said. Or if you weren’t running from the police.

Perhaps his most important role has been as mentor, the police chief said. Nordstrand has served as “work dad” to more than one new officer.

He had a trainee in his car during an event that he’s infamous for in the department. He has the distinction of the longest police pursuit in city history.

He chased a suspect all the way to the Canadian border at speeds topping 100 mph.

The driver crashed through the gate at the border and the Mounties took care of him on the other side. They rammed his car.

Nordstrand isn’t going quietly into the good night. He flies a vintage 1957 Piper Apache and plans to take her up as often as he can. He’s working on a commercial rating, just for the challenge.

Would he do it again? Maybe he would have pursued a career in aviation, if his family had the resources. But he has no regrets.

“It’s been good.”

CRASH

CONTINUED FROM A1 on West Beach Road by an oncoming 2004 Dodge Dakota driven by Nathan Dee, 26, of Oak Harbor.

Both vehicles ended up in a field.

The Dodge rolled onto its side and the Mustang was on its wheels.

Francis said Harden was the most seriously injured, suffering pelvic and head injuries. She was immediately airlifted to Harborview Medical Center but succumbed to her injuries.

Ladwig was transported to Whidbey General Hospital with serious injuries, including a possible back injury and broken finger, Francis said. The third passenger in the Mustang, 32-year-old Oak Harbor resident Randon Koepke, was injured and transported to Whidbey General Hospital. Dee was also injured and transported to the hospital by a private vehicle.

Francis said investigators have probable cause to believe that Ladwig was under the influence based on reports that he was driving recklessly in the parking lot prior to the crash.

Also, Ladwig admitted to taking medication before driving, and troopers found “potential drugs and paraphernalia” in the Mustang, Francis said.

Ladwig will be arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, Francis said.

Weather, traditions provide Dutch treat

By RON NEWBERRY

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Adriana Torres admitted that it was somewhat surprising to see her nephew so enamored with a small wooden shoe.

Her nephew, Saul, from Mount Vernon, had never heard of klompen before, but liked seeing the miniature shoe float down a makeshift canal constructed for children’s enjoyment.

“He’s having fun with that water and that shoe,” Torres said.

Anything having to do with water was popular at Oak Harbor’s sun-soaked Holland Happening celebration last weekend.

With blue skies and warm temperatures Saturday, the event drew so many people that some food vendors had trouble keeping up with the demand.

Saturday morning’s parade drew about 6,000 people to downtown; however, it was estimated that about 15,000 came to the city’s Dutch celebration that day, according to counts taken by the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, the event’s organizer.

“This whole event doesn’t happen without community sponsors and those volunteers,” said Christine Cribb, the Chamber’s executive director, adding that about 60 volunteers helped.

Temperatures in Oak Harbor rose from the 60s on Saturday to about 10 degrees warmer Sunday.

Water features were most popular, such as the venue for the traditional klompen canal races and the pool that let kids roll around like hamsters inside Wobble Bobble balls.

“I couldn’t be happier,” Cribb said of the weekend.

The Chamber made efforts to try to bring the festival back to its authentic Dutch roots by inviting vendors that would comply with traditions and showcasing signs written in both the English and Dutch languages.

Dwight and Jennifer Adema of Coupeville took turns handing out tiny Holland flags to passersby.

They are members of the HollandAmerican Koffie Klets group that meets monthly in Oak Harbor.

Having moved from Colorado three years ago, the Ademas love that they’ve landed near a community that embraces Dutch traditions.

They share stories of their family roots at their meetings.

“You want to hold on to some of the traditions if you can,” Dwight Adema said.

“They die if you don’t talk about them. The history here is so rich with Dutch, we hope it doesn’t die.”

The trough used for the traditional klompen canal races was a hit for kids during the warm weather that drew large crowds to downtown Oak Harbor.

GRAD RATE CONTINUED FROM A1 wide in relation to the overall number of homeless students enrolled, and well above the state average of 52 percent.

The news comes in tandem with the school’s recent exemplary review by U.S. News & World Report, which ranked OHHS in the top third of all public schools nationwide. OHHS is also boasting its highest overall graduation rate to date — 92 percent of all students graduate within five years.

Superintendent Lance Gibbon said he did not anticipate the news, though it wasn’t altogether surprising given the extensive effort put forth by district staff to support all students in their success, including those lacking stable and safe housing.

The school’s five-year graduation rate among homeless students was 78.3 percent, not including students enrolled in reengagement programs.

According to data presented to the school board April 25, thus far in 2016, 226 students enrolled in the district had reported experiencing homeless as defined by

the McKinney-Vento Act, 64 of whom were high schoolers and 26 of whom were seniors.

Seventeen of these seniors were currently still enrolled with the district at the time of the report.

Fifty-seven of those 226 students were unaccompanied at the time data was compiled.

In 2015, there were 238 students who reported experiencing homelessness within the year, while in 2014 there were 213.

There were about 35,500 homeless students attending Washington public schools in 2015, according to the state superintendent’s office.

The data was presented

by Vivian Rogers-Decker, the district’s homeless liaison, who maintains a detailed database on the students and families with whom she works.

Under the McKinneyVento Act, Washington state receives $950,000 annually to staff such liaisons to work with homeless students and their families.

In order to receive funding through the act, states

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

must comply with the act in removing barriers to enrollment and education and providing transportation for homeless students.

Homelessness is defined under the act as “individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.”

Among other factors, under the act, homeless students are provided transportation to and from the school should they move out-of-district to neighboring areas like Skagit County or Central or South Whidbey after enrolling.

A sense of stability, if only in their academics, is vital, Gibbon said.

Both Rogers-Decker and Gibbon credited a highly invested and supportive network of school district staff, including teachers, counsellors and nurses, with the high success rate among its homeless population.

“I think the counsellors do a really good job of trying to connect these kids to supportive services and making sure their basic needs are met so they can focus on school,” Rogers-Decker said.

“Meeting basic needs is fundamental to student success,” Gibbon said, explaining that school district staff members, as well as commu-

Page A27

nity partners, work to ensure students receive adequate food, clothing, school supplies and other items regardless of economic hardship.

Rogers-Decker also maintains a spreadsheet detailing students’ supplemental needs, smaller items such as a cap and gown for graduation, a yearbook, or help filling out applications for financial aid and colleges.

Though the latter aren’t necessarily immediately related to the students’ academic success, RogersDecker said these incentives are helpful for some students in encouraging them to continue to work toward graduation despite their hardship.

Gibbon also noted that, in 2013, certain support programs which had previously been cut were reinstated, including after-school tutoring and computer lab access with subsequent free transportation for the students afterward.

The Apex program, which allows students to make up a failed class on a more flexible schedule, was also reinstated.

Students at OHHS can also attend through the Midway High School program, which allows for remote and flexible-schedule classes, particularly valuable

to students who must hold jobs to support themselves or their families.

Qualifying students enrolled in this program are still able to receive free breakfast and lunch at the high school.

“I think we have a really supportive school district. I know that’s something people say a lot to sound good, but I really do mean that,”

Rogers-Decker said.

“We care for every child, but we recognize that some of our students have more complex needs, and it takes a team to help address all of those needs in order for that student to be successful,” Gibbon said. “We’ve got a staff that does an excellent job, going above and beyond to help support those students.”
