By RON NEWBERRY

Angie Ingram’s hands are full, a familiar pose for the mother of three young chil-dren.

As she surveys the eve-ning’s offerings at the Oak Harbor Farmers Market, she cradles 6-month-old Violet Jane in a baby sling and keeps a watchful eye on 3-year-old Skyler, who is exhibiting an enormous burst of energy after chewing on a peanut butter cookie.

Aubrey, 8, watches her brother run around in circles and starts to bolt, but decides she better not contribute to the chaos.

Despite the activity going on around her, Ingram is unfazed, undistracted, stop-ping only to set down a half-flat of strawberries.

As a mental health coun-selor, mom and college stu-dent with a husband serving in the U.S. Navy, Ingram is used to juggling a lot at the

same time.

“It’s only weird when I’m not busy,” she said.

Ingram, 28, is putting the finishing touches this sum-mer on a third master’s degree from Brandman University.

She served seven years in the Navy, leaving in December, 2011, and has since used her Navy bene-fits to go after a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Columbia College, followed by advanced degrees in psy-chology, organizational lead-ership and human resources from Brandman.

Although it won’t be until August when her human resources coursework is complete, Ingram’s comple-tion of three master’s degrees was recognized during Brandman’s commencement ceremony April 30 in Oak Harbor.

“It’s really rare,” campus director Barb Bockman said. “I’ve only had a few of those

in my career and I’ve been here 30 years.”

A long-distance runner, Ingram is used to life on the go.

She likes to start her day running four miles before taking her kids to daycare. She stays on the road with

her job as an intensive outpa-tient clinician for Compass Health.

“I do untraditional therapy for people who have impair-ments who can’t leave the house or get to the office for traditional therapy,” Ingram said.

When her work day ends, her time as a mom and stu-dent begins. The load is lighter when her husband, William Ingram, an aviation technician with VAQ-136, is not away on sea duty.

Still, she has had many nights of putting the kids to bed and finishing a paper at midnight.

“Thankfully, I’m extreme-ly organized, which really saved me,” she said. “But it’s been quite a struggle.”

And, in the process, she has surprised herself.

“I really like school, which is amazing because I didn’t in high school,” said Ingram, who attended high school in Sheboygan, Wis., before joining the Navy. “I always want to learn something new. I have a job where I’m trying to learn something that helps somebody else. I like to chal-lenge myself.”

Ingram’s organizational skills have allowed her to suc-ceed, according to Mary Ellen Schief, her student advisor at Brandman who remembers seeing her carry a binder filled with research notes when she discussed entering the master’s programs.

Ingram found that Brandman’s blended format

of online and traditional classes made her post-gradu-ate pursuits more achievable with a family.

“I didn’t want a strict-ly online program, and Brandman was beginning to offer blended courses at the time,” Ingram said. “I was working and pregnant, and knew a traditional class-room wouldn’t work for me. Meeting for class for three hours, and then being able to do the rest on my own sched-ule worked for me.”

She said everything has revolved around time man-agement, which might be contagious.

“She’s extremely orga-nized,” Bockman said. “Her husband also attends Brandman and she has him all organized.”

William Ingram calls his wife “one of the strongest and determined women I know of.” He said on top of everything else, she inspired him to go back to school and has been a motivating force and big supporter during the time he earned an associates degree at Brandman recently. He said her support contin-ues while he works to com-plete his bachelor’s degree.

“While I can say I helped her watch our three children while she spent hours upon hours writing papers for her assignments,” William Ingram said, “it was really her that kept the family mov-ing along.”

Veteran balances education, family

The Department of Veterans Affairs is celebrat-ing 70 years of investment in servicemembers and veterans.

The Ser vicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, better known as the “GI Bill” was enacted on June 22, 1944.

The law provided a wide range of benefits for Veterans returning from World War II, including low-cost home loans, education and voca-tional training.

The original GI Bill

was heralded as a success and a major contributor to America’s stock of human capital that sped long-term economic growth across the nation, according to the VA.

Today, a new group of vet-erans is accessing the post-9/11 GI Bill and other edu-cation benefits, following in their footsteps.

Roughly 8 million out of 16 million World War II vet-erans used their GI Bill edu-cation benefit, according to the VA.

Subsequent legislation expanded and extended simi-lar “GI Bill” benefits to gen-erations that followed, includ-ing veterans of the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars as well as those serving during peacetime.

Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan Gibson said in late June that those who reported misconduct would be protected.

“I reminded all 341,000 of our employees that we must protect whistleblowers and create workplace environ-ments that enable full partici-pation of employees,” Gibson said in June 23 news release.

Reports of long hospital delays and patient neglect have plagued the VA in recent months and the Office of Special Council investigated and made recommendations for improvements last month.

“As I told our workforce, intimidation or retaliation –

not just against whistleblow-ers, but against any employee who raises a hand to identify a problem, make a suggestion or report what may be a viola-tion in law, policy or our core values — is absolutely unac-ceptable,” Gibson said. “I will not tolerate it in our organiza-tion.”

Acting Secretary Gibson sent a message to all VA employees on June 13, 2014 regarding the importance of whistleblower protection and has met with employees at VA Medical Centers across the country to reemphasize that message.

A message was sent to all VA employees on June 13

regarding the importance of whistleblower protection and Gibson met with employees at VA Medical Centers across the country to reemphasize that message, according to the VA.

“I respect and welcome the letter and the insights from the Office of Special Counsel,” Gibson said. “I am deeply disappointed not only in the substantiation of allega-tions raised by whistleblowers, but also in the failures within VA to take whistleblower complaints seriously.”

Gibson said he has orga-nized a comprehensive review of all aspects of the Office of Medical Inspector’s opera-tions.

On the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the PBY Memorial Museum held a ribbon-cutting cer-emony for its soft opening at its new location on Pioneer Way.

The museum, now located in the former Whidbey Furniture building, opened its doors to allow visitors to view what they’ve done so far, but according to Wil Shellenberger, PBY Memorial Foundation president, the museum isn’t quite finished yet.

“We’re still in the process of set-ting up exhibits, so it’ll be two or three weeks before the museum is complete,” Shellenberger said.

Shellenberger estimated that six or seven exhibits in the museum would be ready in June, and each week will see the completion of more additional exhibits.

“The museum is always a work in progress,” Shellenberger said. “We constantly change exhibits, add things here, add things there, but the major exhibits will all be done in about three weeks.”

Shellenberger said general admission is $5, and there are dis-counted prices for military and children.

“We need to open our doors so that we can start generating some revenue,” Shellenberger said, “But the grand opening will be conducted on the 25th of July, and we’ll have a dedication ceremony and the grand opening then.”

The soft opening, which occurred in June, was mostly for local businesses, though the public was welcome.

The Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce sent out invitations to the event, and Mayor Scott Dudley was on hand to cut the ribbon.

“We’re not making a real big deal about this,” Shellenberger said.

“A soft opening means low key.”

Organizers hope to move the museum’s namesake, the PBY Catalina, to a location nearby sometime before fall.

Locations across the street and on Highway 20 are under consid-eration.

The American Legion Post 129 selected a female commander in June — the first in the chapter’s history.

“I’m stepping up to the plate,” said the post’s new commander Lisa Quilico. “It’s an honor and I want to make a difference.”

Quilico served 20 years as a logistical store keeper for the Navy. She retired in 2005 as a petty officer first class.

Quilico said she’d like the post to become more involved and visible in the community, both as a way to give back to veterans but also to recruit new mem-bers, especially women.

Quilico estimated that less than 10 percent of the Legion’s membership is women.

“My goal is to triple that,” Quilico said.

DW Mayotte, the post’s finance officer, said that it’s good for the Legion to move away from the “old boys club” and be more inclu-

sive of all servicemen and women.

“For many years women were kind of looked down upon,” Mayotte said. “They thought of them as secretar-ies… not on the front lines. We’re trying to get at that stigma. We’re all in this together.”

Mayotte said selecting Quilico as commander also ref lects the changing face of the military, which has more and more women join-ing and serving in tradition-ally male roles.

“It shows times are changing,” Mayotte said. “Change is not always a bad thing. We’re trying to get the old guard to say “we accept you.”

Post 129 was first char-tered in 1920 in San Juan de Fuca but eventually migrat-ed to Oak Harbor.

Mayotte said that unlike other veteran organiza-tions, like the Veterans of Foreign Wars, members are not required to see combat to join.

“Here you only have to

have served during a period of conflict, here or abroad,” Mayotte said.

Quilico said her priorities will be driving membership and community service.

The Legion already contributes to the Boys and Girls Club, Relay for Life and a college scholar-ship program. But Quilico would like to see them do more for the island’s veter-ans and the community at large.

“The message I’m try-ing to send is the American Legion is not a bar, we do a lot,” Quilico said. “It’s gonna be exciting. It will be very challenging but very rewarding.”

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veter-ans organization. Focusing on service to veterans, ser-vicemembers and commu-nities, the Legion evolved from a group of World War I veterans into an inf lu-ential nonprofit group. Nationwide, membership stands at over 2.4 million.

Petty officer to break pullup record for Wounded Warrior Project

A petty officer stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station plans to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for “Most Pullups in 24 hours” on July 26.

Mike McCastle said he is performing the feat to raise awareness and funds to assist service members who have been injured in the line of duty. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the nonprofit orga-nization Wounded Warrior Project and will support a full range of programs and services for this generation of injured veterans and their families.

“It’s not about the record,” said McCastle in his new release. “It’s not about the war. It’s about the warrior. This chal-

lenge will test my physical lim-its, but I will recover. Twenty four hours of discomfort does not compare to the sacrifice our wounded service members and their families make every day.”

The event will be held at Fort Nugent Park in Oak Harbor at 6 a.m. when McCastle will begin performing pull-ups for 24 hours straight in an attempt to break the current world record, which, according to Guinness, is 4,030, set by Navy SEAL David Goggins.

The event will host live music, vendors, a raffle and other activities to help raise awareness and donations in sup-port of the Wounded Warrior Project.

More than 47,000 service-men and women have been injured in the recent military conflicts, according to a news release from McCastle. In addi-tion to the physical wounds, it is

estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war, includ-ing combat-related stress, major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment.

McCastle is a personal trainer assigned as Assistant Command Fitness Leader. His goal is to raise $10,000. https://support.wounded-

Two Navy men killed in kayaking accident

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station held a memorial service June 6 for two men killed in a kayaking accident on the west side of the island, according to Mike Welding, the base public affairs officer.

The two men, 25-year-old Vinson C. Ya and 21-year-old Joseph T. Lee, were both with VAQ-129.

Weldind said the base com-mand “continually stress safety for personnel in all profession-al and recreational activities.”

Both men were wearing life jackets, but that didn’t guaran-tee their safety in the cold and choppy water.

The men rented two “recre-ational kayaks” and borrowed a pickup truck from a friend. The two men went into the water in separate kayaks at Libbey Beach Park Saturday, May 31, according to Island County Coroner Robert Bishop.

At 9:55 p.m., a resident reported hearing someone cry-ing for help from the water in the area, but could only see one boat that seemed to be under power and not in distress. He

called 911 and reported what he heard, according to Bishop.

The call prompted a search of the waters on the area. Chief Marv Koorn with North Whidbey Fire Rescue said his agency responded with Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue and a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.

Koorn said they thought they were looking for a boat that was traveling south past Libbey Beach.

“At no point did we realize that there were kayakers out there,” he said.

The search was called off at about 11:30 p.m. when noth-ing was found. The Coast Guard located the boat in question at 1:30 Sunday morn-ing and reported that he was fine.

At about 6 a.m. Sunday, a couple from Federal Way were walking the beach and found

Ya’s body about a half mile north of the Libbey Park.

The kayak was about 50 feet from the body, Bishop said.

Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue personnel arrived in a boat to retrieve the body from the beach.

Bishop said he was with them on the way back to Keystone Harbor when they spotted the other kayak about half a mile south of Libbey Beach Park. They found Lee’s body about 200 yards off shore.

Bishop said the men’s friends reported them missing at about the time their bodies were being recovered.

The manner and cause of death for both men was acci-dental saltwater drowning with hypothermia, according to Bishop. The time of death was approximately 10 p.m.

Navy surgeons may now perform procedures at nearby civilian hospitals.

Oak Harbor Naval Hospital entered into a partnership with Whidbey General Hospita l in Coupevil le and Island Hospital in Anacortes.

The Naval Hospital rolled out changes over the past year that included clo-sure of the hospital’s Urgent Care Center, expanding its clinics, upgrading the birthing center and the addition of a 24-hour nurse hotline.

In addition, surgeries are no longer performed on base.

Capt. Edward Simmer, the hospital ’s command-ing officer until August, said partnerships will allow veterans and military per-sonnel to consult and have surgeries performed by mil-itary doctors.

“We greatly appreciate the partnership we have with Whidbey General and Island Hospitals,” Simmer said in a prepared news release last month.

“Together we are ensur-ing Navy Medicine ben-eficiaries receive the out-standing care they deserve every day.

“This collaboration is a big step toward reaching NHOH’s vision of ‘Build Your World Class Medical Neighborhood.’”

Primary function of this agreement is to allow for general, orthopedic and gynecologic surgeries for Naval Hospital patients in the civilian hospitals, but pre- and post-operative appointments will stil l occur on base.

W h idbey Genera l , located in Coupeville, is one of 34 rural hospitals in Washington State. In November, Island County voters approved a $50 million bond to be used to upgrade and expand Whidbey General.

“We are honored by their (the Navy’s) trust in us and look forward to taking on their surgeries, inpatients and emergencies as need-ed,” said Whidbey General spokesperson Trish Rose in

an emailed statement. “We look forward to working collaboratively with their leadership, as well as mak-ing every effort to accom-modate the needs of our community’s service mem-bers and their families. It is the quality of our work-force and the quality of our care that enables them to make this decision with such confidence.”

April 9 marked the first partnered surgery at Whidbey General, fol-lowed by the initial surgery at Island Hospital April 11.

Naval Hospital surgeons are part of a team of staff and nurses at each of the partner facilities and are vetted and certified accord-ing to each civilian hospi-tal’s requirements.
