The Island County prosecutor said Thursday that no charges will be filed in connection with the Nov. 17, 2012 death of Christopher Cooper in downtown Oak Harbor.

Cooper’s father, Terry Cooper, said he hopes that outrage over the case will lead to changes in state law to protect people from

trained fighters.Prosecutor Greg Banks concluded after

“an exhaustive analysis” of all the evidence — including an iPhone video recording made by Cooper — that Oak Harbor resident Jason Ellis, 29, a mixed martial arts champion, acted in lawful self defense when he struck Cooper, causing the fatal injury.

Rick Schulte admits that the idea of change at this stage of his career doesn’t come with-out some apprehension.

Yet his desire for a new challenge was strong enough that he told the Oak Harbor School Board he will be step-ping down as superintendent of the Oak Harbor School District following the 2013-14 school year.

Recent interest in his lead-ership from the Richland School District could bring his departure much sooner.

Schulte, 64, learned this week that he’s one of three finalists for that district’s superintendent post with a decision expected by the end of the month.

“It’s exciting to think about doing something new. It’s also a little intimidating

Swinomish Indian Tribal Community is demanding $9 mil-lion in damages from the city of Oak Harbor for the desecra-tion of a burial ground.

The tribe filed a complaint for damages with the city Tuesday. The claim accuses city officials of violating law and breaching their legal duty by digging up the known site of an

ancient tribal village and burial ground.The excavation occurred during the 2011 road project on

Pioneer Way.Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said he is “perplexed”

and “disheartened” by the filing of the claim, which is the first step taken before a lawsuit is filed.

Another chapter was added last week to a 15-year legal battle between Island County and a environmental watchdog group over critical area rules.

On April 2, a Thurston County Superior Court judge overturned a 2006 decision by the Growth Management Hearings Board that the county can use farm plans as a management tool to meet state environ-mental protection laws.

“It is clear to this court that the method-ology adopted by Island County to protect critical areas from agricultural uses on lands in agricultural use prior to 1998 vio-lates the Growth Management Act,” Judge Chris Wickham said in a letter opinion.

Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, appealed the 2006 case to Thurston County.

It was the latest in a long series of litiga-tion concerning the county’s critical areas rules.

Steve Erickson, legal coordinator for the group, is chalking up Wickham’s ruling as a victory in the ongoing legal battle, but not surprising.

“It was really pretty predictable,” Erickson said.

Dan Mitchell, civil deputy prosecuting attorney with Island County, said no deci-sions have been made yet but the county has the option of appealing to the Division One Court of Appeals.

He noted that before WEAN’s appeal, the county’s rules were found to be sufficient by the hearings board, a three-member panel of judges who specialize in land use law and are appointed by the governor.

“The judge clearly disagreed with the panel of experts,” Mitchell said.

The hearings board decides on issues revolving around the Growth Management Act of 1990.

The GMA was landmark legislation aim-ing to limit urban sprawl by keeping rural areas rural and urban areas urban.

It established a series of requirements for municipalities, ranging from the cre-ation of comprehensive plans to adoption of ordinances that protect five types of critical areas: wetlands, drinking water aquifer recharge, fish and wildlife habitat, frequently flooded and geologically hazard-ous areas.

The legal battle between the county and WEAN has roots stretching back to 1998 when the group challenged the county’s new comprehensive plan and other regula-tions adopted by the county.

They have duked it out in court since, with the latest argument focused on the adoption of new agricultural rules in 2006.

The ordinance sought to exempt farms that existed before 1998 from having to comply with more stringent sections of its agricultural rules, which were adopted to satisfy requirements of the management act.

Instead, grandfathered farmers would be allowed to develop a standard or cus-tom “farm plan” based on best manage-ment practices of the National Resources Conservation Services.

The underlying foundation of WEANs argument is that the loose regulations allow livestock near wetlands or other water sources, and that it could result as a major source of pollution to Puget Sound.

Wickham ruled that best management practices were not the same as best avail-able science, the standard required under GMA, because they were not designed to

“protect” the “function and values” of criti-cal areas nor give “special consideration” to the presence of salmon.

Farm plans would not “provide a bench mark or base line to determine existing conditions until six or more years after implementation of the program” and allow-ing the landowner to select from a list of of controls to modify or restrict agricultural practices provided “minimal oversight,” Wickham wrote.

“There is no assurance that critical areas will be “protected” by this methodology,” he wrote.

In addition, the county “failed to ade-quately fund any oversight of the program” and the plans are exempt from public dis-closure unless certain conditions are met, the judge wrote.

While Wickham’s decision was clear, the issue is not over as it was remanded back to the hearings board. The county can appeal the decision to a higher court or comply and rework its existing rules.

“The county is keeping all options on the table while it reviews the decision,” Mitchell said.

Discovery of a pillow led deputies to crack a series of vehicle prowl cases on Central Whidbey, according to court documents.

The suspect, Andrew W. Tibbles, 24, of Anacortes, is accused of breaking into as many as 15 vehicles and stealing items on the night

of July 24, 2012.Prosecutors charged

Tibbles in Island County Superior Court April 1 with two counts of identity theft in the second degree, pos-session of heroin and vehi-cle prowling in the second degree.

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated a series of thefts

from cars in the Coupeville area on July 25.

At the same time, a couple of other deputies responded to a report of an abandoned car on Keystone Hill Road. But when they arrived they found Tibbles, who was being sought on a warrant issued in Skagit County.

Deputies said they noticed that the car was filled with

items partially covered with clothes.

A “memory foam” pillow was on the front passenger seat.

Deputies said they remembered that a pil-low was reportedly among items stolen during the car prowls. They asked the owner of the pillow to drive over to Tibbles’ car and identify it.

Deputy Lane Campbell then interviewed Tibbles, who admitted to entering “10 to 12 vehicles” the night before and stealing items, including a pillow and elec-tronics.

He said he parked his vehicle and walked through the neighborhood, looking for unlocked cars, accord-ing to Campbell’s report.

Tibbles said he was

unemployed and living in his car for two weeks. He said he shot up heroin after stealing

The deputy obtained a warrant to search the car.

Numerous stolen items were found, as well as a bag containing suspected hero-in, according to the report.

They stole items were logged, photographed and returned to their owners.


A 44-year-old Oak Harbor man is accused of raping a woman while she was sleeping, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged Mark E. Shawley in Island County Superior Court April 4 with rape in the second degree.

If convicted of the charge, Shawley could face from six and a half years to eight and a half years in prison under the standard sen-tencing range.

Shawley is being held in jail on $25,000

bail.On April 2, a 22-year-old woman reported

that she awoke in the morning to find Shawley having sex with her without her consent, according to the report by Detective Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The alleged victim said she had a lot to drink the night before and went to sleep feel-ing sick.

She said Shawley stopped raping her after she woke up, according to the report.

Another woman said Shawley admitted to having sex with the young woman and called himself a “monster,” according to the report.

Oak Harbor High School’s two premier choral groups earned the highest ratings possible at a district choral festival in Bellingham.

Oak Harbor’s Harbor Singers and Treble Choir each got “Superior” ratings in both sight reading and performance at the San Juan Music

Educators Association confer-ence, held March 28 at Western Washington University.

“More or less every school dis-trict is there … from Bellingham to Mount Vernon,” said Darren McCoy, choir director at Oak Harbor.

Congressman Rick Larsen delivered good news about Island County’s largest employer this week.

The Second District Democrat said in a news release Wednesday that the Navy is hoping to spend more than $127 million on con-struction projects at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station over the next few years.

That includes $85 million for a hangar and training facilities for the incoming P-8A Poseidon, the Navy’s planned replacement aircraft for the P-3 Orion.

“The Navy is making the kind of long-term commit-ment for NAS Whidbey that I’ve been fighting for and that the community has wanted,” Larsen said in an interview.

“Overall, it’s really great news.”

Larsen made a similar announcement last month when he issued a news release confirming the Navy’s intention to spend $7 million on the design of a new P-8A hangar.

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, chairwoman of the Senate Budget Committee, issued a news release Wednesday announcing her support of the Navy’s plans for the new P-8A hangar.

“Whidbey Island is one of our nation’s premier naval aviation installations and I applaud the administration’s decision to base P-8A squad-rons in Washington State,” Murray said.

“Outfitting Whidbey Island

to host Poseidon squadrons will be a boon for the local economy, and the Navy’s confidence in Whidbey Island reflects the installa-tion’s record of excellence and strong support from the community.”

Base commander Capt. Mike Nortier was unavailable for an interview. A statement was to be provided to the News-Times by email but it did not arrive by press time.

Larsen said the Navy’s plans are outlined in President Barack Obama’s draft budget. The proposal includes $85 million for the P-8A hangar and training facilities, $32 mil-lion for facility improvements for the expanded EA-18G air-craft presence and $10 million to replace the fuel pier break-water on the Seaplane Base.

Larsen had few details about the facility improve-ments for the Growler, but office aides said the breakwa-ter would replace an existing WWII-era pier, which is cur-rently acting as the breakwa-ter for the fuel transfer pier.

The project will replace the aging structure with a stone breakwater, providing “increased security and sta-bility of the fuel barge” while transferring aviation fuel from the seaplane base to Ault Field via a fuel pipeline.

The capital projects would create a substantial ripple in Island County’s economy as it would result in “hundreds” of new construction jobs, Larsen said.

The base has a history of hiring local, he said.

“When this comes, it will

be a major shot in the arm for Whidbey Island.”

Island County Economic Development Council Executive Director Ron Nelson agrees.

Projects totaling $127 mil-lion mean a lot of paychecks, and much of that money will be spent at local businesses, he said.

“You bet it’s great news.”If construction contracts

are awarded locally, it will provide much needed relief to Whidbey Island’s construc-tion industry, hit hard by the recession, Nelson said.

While those jobs will be temporary, there will be last-ing benefits, especially the new

hangar as it is what will make the arrival of the Poseidon air-craft possible, he said.

“Long term, we get the P-8As and the jobs that go along with them.”

As a budget request, Larsen said there is no guar-antee the funding will be approved by Congress but he said he doesn’t expect any hiccups with this specific allocation. Any problems will likely come in the form of delayed approval of the over-all budget.

Larsen is a member of the House Armed Services Committee which will con-sider the defense budget pro-posal in the months ahead.

After a little more than a year into her six-year term on the commission for the Port of Coupeville, Laura Blankenship resigned this week from her elected position.

In a resignation addressed to commission Chairman Marshall Bronson, she accused the head of the three-member elected body, and Port of Coupeville Executive Director Jim Patton, of using their skills as political operators to the ben-efit of the Greenbank Farm Management Group rather than port district taxpayers.

“In my opinion, your back-room scheming and conspir-ing ensures the farm will not only fail to become the economic driver the taxpay-ers were promised, it will continue to drain port district resources unnecessarily,” Blankenship wrote.

Contacted by phone, Blankenship said Tuesday she didn’t have any addition-al comment.

Patton laughed when asked to comment about Blankenship’s resignation letter.

“I don’t think I can improve on it,” he said.

He also denies back-room scheming among the port and management group.

“There was never any of that,” Patton said.

Blankenship also penned a letter to the taxpayers and residents living within the Port of Coupeville’s district.

“I have absolutely no rea-son to believe that my contin-ued participation will achieve

a better outcome for port dis-trict taxpayers,” she wrote.

Since Blankenship took office in January 2012 there were arguments over how the port handles its budget, how it would make reduc-tions during a recent budget shortfall and how it doles out grant dollars.

Most recently, the three-member board argued about how to best implement rec-ommendations formed by a volunteer group examining how the Greenbank Farm should operate once the agreement with the manage-ment group expires.

Blankenship tried to get several recommendations approved in January, but she was outvoted by the commis-sioners Bronson and Benye Weber.

With Blankenship’s resig-nation, the process will begin to find a replacement.

The remaining two com-missioners can appoint Blankenship’s replacement up to 90 days after her res-ignation. If a replacement hasn’t been named then the Board of Island County Commissioners can step in and name a replacement, Patton said.

The vacant seat will be up for election during the November election. Whoever is elected will serve the remaining four years left on Blankenship’s term. The fil-ing period for the election is May 13 through May 17

The vacancy means there will be two new commissioners on the three-member board after the election. Weber said she isn’t seeking a third term.

Port commissioner alleges ‘scheming’


For the first time, Oak Harbor community members at large have a chance to put their money behind the city’s patriotic pyrotechnics.

Kathy Reed, the new director for the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said the organization is running behind on its annual fundrais-ing campaign for the Fourth of July fireworks show over the water.

The chamber traditionally raises cash for the fireworks from within its membership, but this year the group is running short on funds.

Reed is now looking for ways to involve the public.

“I don’t think that people in Oak Harbor realize that the business community puts on the event,” she said.

“This will be another way for the community to really get involved and take owner-ship.”

Starting May 1, everyone

will be able to donate to the fireworks fund online at the chamber’s website or at the chamber’s visitor center along State Highway 20.

There are different “levels of sponsorship,” Reed said. A $10 contribution, for exam-ple, is “Firecracker” and $25 is a “Sparkler.”

At the $100 “Cherry Bomb” level, an individual gets his or her name on the chamber’s reader-board for a day.

A business that donates

$100 gets its name on a sand-wich board sign.

“You can even choose the day, but hurry. They’re going fast,” Reed said.

Reed said the chamber is working with a different pyrotechnics company this year. She said the company that puts on a popular July 3 fireworks show in Freeland submitted the low bid and promised a great show.

Total cost of the fireworks show is $14,000.

The Oak Harbor chamber

has only raised $6,000 so far, Reed said.

Reed blames the years of economic upheaval for the shortfall.

Seattle is experiencing the same issue as the group responsible for raising money for the big fireworks show gave up after being unable to find the dollars.

In the past, one business each year would agree to be grand sponsor of the fire-works program and finance half the cost of the colorful

explosives. This year, three busi-

nesses — Toppins, Sherwin Williams and Whidbey Coffee — joined together to be the grand sponsors.

They are each contribut-ing $2,000.

Though it may take some cajoling, Reed said she’s con-fident Independence Day will be properly explosive.

“We’re going to have fire-works, even if I have to stand there holding a sparkler.”

Mozes named WNT general managerAdvertising Sales Manager Lee Ann

Mozes was promoted this week to general manager for the Whidbey News-Times and The Whidbey Crosswind in Oak Harbor.

“I’m really impressed with Lee Ann’s outstanding sales abilities and her excel-lent representation of the Whidbey publi-cations in the community,” said Keven R. Graves, executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey News Group.

“Her new title is representative of her

numerous responsibilities as the head of the newly-opened Oak Harbor office.”

The new News-Times office is located at 31955 State Highway 20, No. 4 in Oak Harbor, boosting the News-Times’ visibility in the community and providing a welcom-ing, professional space for customers and news sources.

Whidbey Newspaper Group also publish-es the South Whidbey Record, The Whidbey Examiner and Homes & Land Islander.

Christopher Cooper, 23, was an Oak Harbor resident. He was found unconscious in a parking lot of Whidbey Furniture early in the morn-ing. He suffered a severe head injury and later died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The case made regional headlines after Oak Harbor police arrested Ellis last year, in defiance of the prosecu-tor’s office advice that it was a case of self defense. The pros-ecutor quickly released Ellis from jail without charges.

Cooper’s family and friends, including Mayor Scott Dudley, were upset that Ellis wasn’t charged.

Banks said last year that he will withhold final judg-ment in the case until all the evidence was collected. Since then, police conducted an extensive investigation. Banks received the com-plete medical records from

Harborview and the autopsy report. He discussed the find-ings with the King County medical examiner and Island County Coroner Robert Bishop.

Banks said the evidence shows Cooper was the aggressor and Ellis first tried to diffuse the situation before resorting to violence. Rumors that Ellis beat Cooper after he fell to the ground are false. “The weight of the evidence shows that Mr. Ellis delivered only one punch.” Banks said.

Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green previously said he hoped the detectives could gather enough evidence in the case to convince Banks to file charges. Friday, he said he “stands by the prosecu-tor’s decision.”

Banks said he talked to Cooper’s family this week and sent a press release explaining his decision.

“The fact that this is not a criminal case does not minimize the tragedy of the young Mr. Cooper’s death,” he said. “My decision is the result of a careful analysis of

the law in Washington and a thorough evaluation of the evidence gathered in the police investigation.”

According to Banks, Cooper was at the Element nightclub prior to the incident. He got into a scuffle with a woman earlier in the evening and was subdued by bouncers, accord-ing to Banks.

The following is the sequence of events, accord-ing to Banks’ press release: Cooper left the club on foot at about 2 a.m. and followed Ellis; the two men were both at the club that night, but there’s no evidence they interacted.

Cooper made a video recording of his pursuit on his phone and whispered that he was going to harm “this guy.”

Ellis tried to diffuse the situation, saying he had “no beef” with him. Cooper placed the phone in his pock-et just before the fight.

The actual physical fight appeared to last for less than five seconds. Ellis can be heard swearing and saying,

“We ain’t got beef. That’s how we lay it!”

Ellis ran off.A newspaper delivery

driver discovered Cooper in the parking lot about eight minutes later.

Two days after the inci-dent, Ellis called the police. He said he heard about Cooper’s injuries and felt he may be responsible.

“Mr. Ellis described the ini-tial interaction between the two men, and said that Mr. Cooper took a swing at him and missed,” Banks wrote. “Mr. Ellis said he then quick-ly punched Mr. Cooper once in the head with a right hook. He stated that he fled because he was concerned that Mr. Cooper’s friend might be on his way there to fight, and was concerned Cooper may have had a weapon.”

Banks said Cooper looked battered at the hospital, but that was the result of “inva-sive brain and skull surgery, which resulted in facial swell-ing and discolorations.”

Banks said the injuries were consistent with a single

punch.“My consultation with

the forensic pathologist at the King County Medical Examiner’s office led me to the conclusion that Mr. Cooper was likely struck one time in the head, which ren-dered him unconscious. An accelerated, unbroken fall to the pavement likely resulted in a second brain injury,” he wrote.

Banks said Washington is a “stand your ground state,” which means a person doesn’t have an obligation to run from a fight. Under state law, the prosecutor would have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Ellis did not act in self defense in order to con-vict him of manslaughter.

Banks said Ellis’ martial arts training does not limit his ability to defend himself, though such training can be a factor in cases involving excessive violence.

Terry Cooper said that is was clearly a case of exces-sive violence. He claims Ellis’ hand was bruised black from the punch.

“The blow was so severe that it killed Chris,” he said. “That is excessive.”

Terry Cooper said trained fighters like Ellis should be held to a higher standard and maintains an MMA fighter’s hands and feet are as danger-ous as a handgun.

“An MMA fighter can take a hit by someone who’s not a trained fighter and not even feel it,” he said. “He should have taken the hit and walked away.”

Cooper said he hopes the case will compel lawmakers to consider a law that would hold trained fighters account-able for violence unleashed on the unsuspecting public.

getting out of your comfort zone,” said Schulte, who’s been superintendent of the Oak Harbor School District for 20 years. “You establish routines. You know people and have relationships. When you leave that behind and go into a place new and different, you look forward to the new and different, but you always worry about what you’re leav-ing behind.”

Schulte said his plan to not renew his contract after the 2013-14 school year was shared with the Oak Harbor School Board on different occasions in recent years, and he shared it with some admin-istrators around the state.

He issued a statement Thursday publicly announc-ing his plans after news from Richland surfaced that he was

among of the district’s final-ists for the superintendent job there.

Schulte said he wasn’t actively seeking a new job when the Richland School District came calling.

“They called me and said, ‘We heard you might be will-ing to move,’” Schulte said.

“I said, ‘Well, maybe. Tell me more.’”

Richland School District is about twice the size of Oak Harbor’s with 11,700 students and 1,500 employees.

The Richland district recently passed a $98-million bond to build five elementary schools and a middle school.

Schulte said his experience overseeing school construc-tion projects in Oak Harbor, including the high school and stadium, are of particular interest to the district, located in the Tri-Cities.

Schulte came to Oak Harbor in 1987 as assistant superintendent and took over

his current role in 1993 when Roger Woehl stepped down.

His tenure of 20 years lead-ing the same school district is believed to be the second longest active streak in the state.

“It is just the right time to move on to something new,” Schulte said. “We’ve come a long way as a school district and a long way as a com-munity.”

“The best years in Oak Harbor are yet to come.”

School board President Gary Wallin praised Schulte’s leadership efforts over two decades. Wallin has worked with Schulte for 12 of those years.

“Rick has always been the right guy at the right time for Oak Harbor,” Wallin said. “His leadership and his dedi-cation to Oak Harbor’s kids has kept a strong educational program going, even during financially difficult times.”

Schulte will return to the

Tri-Cities next week to take part in another round of inter-views.

Schulte said he believes Oak Harbor’s Assistant Superintendent Lance Gibbon is a natural choice to succeed him.

“We already have some-one who has proven himself for six years, who is a great educational leader, who has a thorough understanding of school finances, knows how to work through tough prob-lems, and is an active mem-ber in the Oak Harbor com-munity,” Schulte said.

“No matter who might interview for the position, there is no one we know bet-ter and have more faith in than Lance.”

Wallin agrees with Schulte that Gibbon is a natural suc-cessor.

He said the school board will have this discussion soon, probably during its next meet-ing, set for April 29.

Letters to the editorGreenbank Farm

Focusing�on�life’s�achievementsEditor,

I ran for the Greenbank commissioner position on the Port of Coupeville because I naively envi-sioned three elected offi-cials coming together in public meetings with an open mind to thoughtfully and thoroughly discuss issues and reach a consen-sus on how to proceed.

I am sad to say this has not been my experience as your District 3 commission-er for the last 15 months.

I had hoped to be a part of establishing a sensible management structure for the Port of Coupeville and the Greenbank Farm, which could actually add energy to the port as a whole, and support the farm in achiev-ing its potential to contrib-

ute to other port economic development projects. At this point, I see little hope for that.

In fact, I believe the port executive director and com-mission chair have worked in concert with the presi-dent of the Greenbank Farm Management Group to maintain a power structure that serves their personal agendas at the expense of the port district taxpayers.

I have absolutely no reason to believe that my continued participation will achieve a better outcome for port district taxpayers.

For this reason, I am writ-ing this open letter to the people of the port district to let you know I have submit-ted my resignation as the District 3 commissioner of the Port of Coupeville. I apologize to those who had hoped I could make a dif-ference.

I plan to focus my time, energy and spirit in the other areas of my life where positive outcomes can be

achieved.

Laura BlankenshipPort of Coupeville

Resignation�won’t�disrupt�farm�focusEditor,

In response to recent stories and statements in the press concern-ing the Port of Coupeville and the Greenbank Farm Management Group, includ-ing the resignation letter from Commissioner Laura Blankenship, we offer the following perspective.

The management group joined the port, before Blankenship’s arrival, in spearheading the drive for the conservation easement, resulting in $325,000 of Conservation Futures Funds for the port.

In addition, we rescued the Agricultural Training Center in 2011 when the Northwest Agriculture Business Center could no longer support it.

We created an organic seed development program that is gaining regional attention.

In 2012 alone, we brought in almost $250,000 in grants for projects and programs that improve the farm, in line with the community driven Master Site Plan that was approved by the Port of Coupeville.

Last, but certainly not least, during one of the harsh-est economic downturns of our lifetime, we earned a strong endorsement from the Farm’s business tenants. We believe that this record of accomplishment speaks for itself.

We have, and will contin-ue, to focus on the health and vitality of Greenbank Farm, and the wide variety of opportunities it affords the Port of Coupeville as well as all who care for this very special place.

Judy FeldmanExecutive Director

Greenbank Farm Management Group

The Swinomish Indian Tribe is seeking $9 million from City of Oak Harbor after construction unearthed a burial ground on Pioneer Way in 2011.

Since the discovery of the remains, the city has worked diligently with the tribe to ensure the remains are han-dled appropriately and reburied.

Filed now to beat the impending statute of limitations deadline, the Swinomish Tribe lawsuit is apparent back-tracking on earlier promises to not sue if the city jumped through all of its hoops.

Estimated cost to the city so far to rectify the matter is about $4 million.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said this week he was “perplexed” and “disheartened” to learn of the tribe’s intent to sue the city.

Dudley said tribal Chairman Brian Cladoosby assured him the city wouldn’t be sued if they handled the situation appropriately.

“We were operating under the understanding that we would complete the recovery work and the reburial and that would be sufficient,” Dudley said.

Cladoosby declined to comment to that assertion because the impending litigation.

If Cladoosby indeed made that promise to the city, it should be honored.

In its suit, the tribe wants an additional $9 million for economic losses and “severe stress, anguish and spiritual and emotional distress.”

City staff were warned prior to the 2011 construction project about the “close proximity” of the archaeological site. It was “strongly recommended” that the city “retain the services of a professional archaeologist to monitor and report on ground disturbing activity … and help develop and implement a plan for cultural materials.”

City officials conceded employees overlooked the warn-ing and acknowledged the city messed up. Since then, Oak Harbor has worked in good faith to rectify the situa-tion.

The city has already forked out $4 million to fix its mis-take.

Cost to properly rebury the remains could cost as much as an additional $2 million.

Of that initial $4 million, more than $600,000 was already paid to the tribe for work performed by spiritual leaders, monitors and handlers at the archaeological site.

The city is living up to its promise, the tribe should do the same and drop its lawsuit.

Swinomish Tribe should drop suit

Morgan Fick Williams

Morgan Fick Williams, a devoted and much-loved daughter, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, died from injuries sustained in a tragic car accident on Thursday, April 4, 2013, at the age of 58.

Morgan was born on January 30, 1955 at Skagit County Hospital and grew up in Oak Harbor, Washington. She attended Oak Harbor schools and was an active and outstanding student, serving as Student Body President – the first girl ever to hold that position at OHHS -- her senior year. She attended the University of Washington and gradu-ated cum laude in three and a half years (in January, 1977) with a double major in Business Administration and Accounting. She remained an avid Husky fan her entire life, and she enjoyed long-time rivalries with co-work-ers and friends who had the misfortune of attending WSU or the University of Oregon.

Morgan was a hard worker who held various jobs throughout junior high, high school and college. She first worked for Eddie Bauer part-time in college and began working there full-time upon graduation. She left a couple of times to work for other companies but eventually returned to Eddie Bauer, working there more than 30 years in total. The day after she died, all of her co-workers, including the WSU and U of O grads, wore purple in her honor.

Morgan was optimistic, energetic, and fun-loving; she was an active and life-long Democrat; and she was an eager and adventurous world traveler. Her most spe-cial attribute, though, was her gift for developing deep and sustained relationships with family and friends. She stayed in frequent contact with not only her immediate family but also her extended family, making regular trips to California, the Midwest, and eastern Washington to visit and stay in touch. She remained close friends with many classmates from the Oak Harbor High School Class of 1973 and with many roommates from the UW’s Haggett Hall. She cared about what was happening in the lives of others and she had a knack for remember-ing important things about them. In recent years she helped many friends who

were dealing with illness; on the day she died, she had driven her car to work rather than take the bus because she had planned to spend the evening with a high-school friend who is in hos-pice care in Bellingham.

Morgan’s father, Lawrence P. Fick, with whom she was very close, died when she was 13; many of us felt that her devotion to her family and her desire to stay con-nected to those she loved were in part a result of los-ing her Dad at such a young age. She is survived by her mother, Jeannine Smith, and stepfather Charles Smith; daughter Erin Kinch (Jarren), son Jonathan Williams (girlfriend Chelan Shero), and former husband Greg Williams; siblings Maggie LaRue (Andre), Matt Fick (Jan), and Mark Fick (Michelle); nephew Morgan LaRue (Elizabeth), niece Maggie Fick, and nephew Charles Fick; and a large extended family. She is also survived by her partner Jerry Esterly, with whom she has enjoyed several international trips, including most recently to London and Morocco.

The family has established a fund to provide an annual scholarship at Oak Harbor High School to be awarded in honor of Morgan’s zest for life and her example of service to others. Donations to the fund can be made to the Morgan Fick Williams Scholarship Fund at any branch of Key Bank or mailed to Scholarship Fund, 271 Wyatt Way NE, Suite 106, Bainbridge Island, Washington, 98110.

A memorial celebration of Morgan’s life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 20, at Seattle Unity Church, 200 8th Avenue North in Seattle.

The family wishes to thank the paramedics of Seattle Fire Department’s Medic 1 Program and the doctors and staff at Harborview Medical Center for their dedication and professionalism.

Cody Alexander VanCott

June 29, 1985 - April 2, 2013

Cody Alexander VanCott, founding member of the annual Turkey Box Tournament, died at home on Tuesday April 2, 2013.

Cody was an artist and storyteller, who was deter-mined to do things his own way, even when it was not in his best interest. He rarely used cross walks and ate a peanut butter and jelly sand-wich everyday during the peanut butter ecoli scare of 2007.

His curiosity and inter-est in new things led him through a wide range of hobbies including dancing, playing guitar, skate board-ing, walking, skim boarding, Geocaching, and hair cuts. He would meander through several hair styles before he found one he liked. His fami-ly estimates twelve hairstyles between 2007 and 2009. Cody looked handsome in a hat and most people will tell you so.

Oak Harbor was Cody’s home for his whole life, although he did get to trav-el. His traveling highlights

include visiting Hawaii and buying a squishee and a pink iced donut at a Manhatten Kwik-e-Mart.

Cody’s family; parents Kenneth and Charlene VanCott of Oak Harbor, sister Rebecca Maberry of Port Hadlock, and sister Breeanna Prata of Kirkland, enjoyed lively family gather-ings. Holidays were always anticipated. During fam-ily game night on Easter Sunday - March 31, 2013 - just two days before he died, Cody rolled a Yahtzee while wearing pink bunny ears. Some people go their whole life without rolling a Yahtzee surrounded by people that love them.

A memorial service was held for Cody on Friday at Wallin Funeral Home.

were able to snuff out the flames before they could cause major damage.

The fire could have been much worse, however, as it was beginning to spread into the vent above the stove.

“There was some signifi-cance to it. It was on its way,” Brown said.

One person was inside at the time but it’s not clear why she was unable to extinguish the fire before it got out of control, according to Brown.

It was a vigilant neighbor, Steve Warren, who called 911.

“I heard what I thought was a strange bird,” said Warren, referring to the building’s chirping smoke detectors.

Warren said he went out-side and, sure enough, smoke was coming out of the build-ing. He helped the female occupant out of her house and into his own, where she waited while firefighters tack-led the fire next door.

Brown said the woman was treated at the scene by an ambulance crew, but she declined to go to the hos-pital.

Though it was Warren who reported the fire, he gave the credit to firefighters by com-plimenting them with a swift response time.

“I always wondered what would happen in an emer-gency,” he said. “It’s nice to see it was so fast.”

Stopping Stanwood twice this week, the Oak Harbor High School baseball team moved into a tie for second place with the Spartans in the Wesco 3A North.

Oak Harbor won 5-2 at Stanwood Tuesday, then 4-2 at home Wednesday.

Strong pitching performances by Jack Richter and Danny Wolfe and a big day at the dish for David Kusnick Tuesday led the Wildcats to the two wins.

In Tuesday’s win, Richter carried a one-hit shut out into the sixth inning. After loading the bases with walks, Richter gave up a two-out, two-run single for Stanwood’s only runs. Grant Schroeder came in and got the third out and picked up the save with a scoreless seventh.

The short stint was the only time Schroeder, one of Oak Harbor’s top hitters, played in the two games because of an illness.

Kusnick’s single drove in the game’s first run in the opening inning, plating Richter who walked and stole second.

Then in the fifth, Kusnick made it 4-0, strok-ing a three-run triple with Anthony Stewart (walk), Brent Mertins (hit by pitch) and Richter (single) aboard.

In the sixth, Clay Doughty walked, Andrew Snavely singled and Stewart walked to set up a one-run single by Richter.

Kusnick and Richter finished with two hits, and Stewart, Wolfe and Snavely added a single apiece. Doughty walked three times and scored a run.

In Wednesday’s win, Wolfe got the call to the mound in part because of Schroeder’s ill-ness. The sophomore right hander pitched a three hitter with two strike outs, three walks and no earned runs.

All of the game’s runs came in the fourth inning.

A walk, error, double steal and single result-ed in two runs for the Spartans (5-5, 5-8).

Oak Harbor, with the help of mother nature, responded with a four-spot.

Richter singled, Kusnick was hit by a pitch and Wolfe bunted them up a base. Cory Cameron’s single scored one run. Stewart walked to load the bases, then Brandon Bailey’s ground out to first score another to make it 2-2.

After Doughty walked to reload the bases, Mike Maletto lofted a fly to center field into a strong wind. The Spartan outfielder couldn’t catch up to the ball as the wind blew it back toward the infield and it dropped for a two-run single.

Oak Harbor (5-5, 5-7) had only four hits (singles by Maletto, Richter, Kusnick and Cameron) off Stanwood’s Tyler Givens.

The Wildcats go to Everett (0-8, 1-10) at 4 p.m. Tuesday and Friday, and the teams meet in Oak Harbor Wednesday.

Briefly

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

For a few hours Sunday, Autumn Flaig won’t feel quite like herself.

Not only will she be fight-ing nerves and fatigue from running her first marathon, she’ll also be experiencing life as a civilian for the first time in eight years.

But only for a matter of hours.

Flaig, an aviation structural mechanic second class at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, recently asked Lt. Cmdr. Jack Curtis, the mainte-nance officer with Electronic Attack Squadron 139, to reen-list her for another four years.

Curtis said he’d happily oblige, but with a twist.

Curtis, an experienced marathon and ultra-marathon runner, invited Flaig to join him in running the Whidbey Island Marathon Sunday, then reenlist in the Navy after the race.

Flaig agreed. That set the stage for a

small, informal, unusual mili-tary reenlistment ceremony

Sunday morning in downtown Oak Harbor.

It will start with a discharge ceremony shortly before the 7:15 a.m. race begins near Pass Lake at Deception Pass State Park. Curtis said the paperwork will already be complete by then, leaving only the ceremony to take place.

“Technically, she’ll be a free woman for 26 miles,” Curtis said. “Then we’ll cross the fin-ish line and I’ll administer the oath to her and she’ll be on active duty again.”

Flaig said she can’t wait.A runner most of her life,

she already was strongly considering tackling Sunday’s Whidbey Island Half Marathon. With additional urging, she opted for her first full marathon.

“I’m nervous and excited,” she said.

The Whidbey Island Marathon and Half Marathon will draw nearly 2,000 par-ticipants Sunday with close to 1,600 competing in the shorter race.

The races will wind through North Whidbey with both

finishing on the Oak Harbor waterfront at Windjammer Park with awards ceremonies beginning at 11 a.m.

The half marathon starts at Windjammer Park at 8:15 a.m., while the marathon begins at Pass Lake an hour earlier. The Deception Pass bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic from 7:15 a.m. to 7:45 a.m.

A 5K run/walk will take place Saturday, leaving and returning to North Whidbey Middle School. That event will start at 9 a.m.

Flaig — pronounced Flag — is no stranger to running, following in the footsteps of her mother, Sharon Reyes, who retired from the Navy.

Flaig, a track and field ath-lete in high school in Norfolk, Va., once was part of a run-ning club while attending Olympic View Elementary in Oak Harbor when her mother was stationed at the Whidbey base.

“I’ve been running my whole life,” said Flaig, who’s 26.

But never a marathon,

although attempting the 26.2-mile journey was something she had put on her “bucket list.”

Urging from sailors with the VAQ-139 Cougars sped up that process.

Curtis, who’s run 11 mara-thons or half-marathons, kept

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

We live in a world of dis-tractions, don’t we. We’ve got Facebook and Pandora and Pinterest. We’re so media exposed we’re no longer sure what to do with the quiet. With little thought most of us routine-ly stuff ear buds into our ears to stream music and turn on the TV the minute we wake up in the morning. We multi-task on

our computers, blog, and text message — simultane-ously!

Even people who are “spiritually wired” like me struggle with the incessant noise and stream of distractions. But we also know better; we regularly ask ourselves this question: What can I do today to stop for a moment and hear God’s voice?

Each week I meet with a group of friends and we visit over coffee. To say that I look forward to our time together does an injustice to the admiration and deep love I have developed for these women. We traverse this life together, talking about topics near and dear to our hearts. We discuss issues, share life experiences, and pray for one another. We even post information we think will be helpful to each other on a private Facebook page. We laugh a whole lot and cry tears of happiness and sorrow, whenever they hit. We drink a lot of coffee. We talk a lot about what evidence we see that God is at work among us.

I’m particularly close to a couple of these women and we sneak off for additional face time whenever our schedules allow. The story of how God brought my friend Bebe and I together in such an obvious and direct way is a story for another day, but it was a conversation we shared on Wednesday‚ and an insight we contribute to our loving God, that really has us thinking.

Bebe and I are planners. We are forward thinkers. We like to prepare ourselves for conversations and future situations we consider important and want to handle with care and dignity. And as we talked this week about this “life rehearsing” that comes so natu-rally to us both, we each experienced a real “Ah ha!” moment as I sipped my green tea and she her iced latte with almond milk.

When you spend regular and sustained mental time rehearsing your life, you spend considerable mental and emotional energy on a situation that may never happen. You willingly distract yourself from living in the moment and all those moments can gift you with. You take issues into your own hands and leave God out.

We will never stop being a planners. It’s how God wired us, after all. But our greatest strengths can also be our greatest weaknesses and this week two dear friends, sitting in a coffee house, were gifted with a lesson from God:

I’ll take your worries when you hand them over. Be intentional.

Plan. But don’t work overtime.For those issues that are not easily solved ... those

that hurt your heart ... hand them over to Me.This will leave room for you to experience My hope

and My peace and My wisdom.

The first of what may become a series of community meetings on jet noise at the Navy’s Outlying Field in Coupeville was held Thursday in Oak Harbor.

Hosted by the Penn Cove Grange, the forum was held at Wind and Tide Bookshop on Pioneer Way. About 30 people attended, including two base officials and Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson.

Crammed into the back of the tiny down-town bookstore, the meeting saw no shortage of heated testimony from Central Whidbey residents.

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station spokes-man Mike Welding attended the meeting. He said he would report to base leaders on what was discussed.

The Navy does “take peoples’ concerns seriously,” but there are safety concerns and obligations that take precedence, he said.

“The bottom line is the training require-ment is the military’s first priority.”

Complaints were across the board, from issues with accident potential zones and decreased property values, but most com-plaints focused on an increase in operations at OLF and the noise generated by the EA-18 Growlers.

“Particularly in the last year, it’s ramped up to the point where people just can’t take it anymore,” Paula Spina said, earning applause from the crowd.

Spina is a board member of a recently formed community group, Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe, Peaceful, Environment.

The group wants flight operations at OLF to cease.

“It’s five days a week this week, it was five days a week last week; we cannot escape it,” said Stephen Swanson, a Coupeville resident.

“It is affecting property values and our ability to use our own homes and our own gardens,” he said.

Valerie Reuther, an organic farm owner, claimed the noise is so loud that farm crews can’t be in the fields while the jets are flying. That’s a big problem as they supply food to about 40 families a week, she said.

Reuther said she doesn’t believe the Navy is listening and asked Johnson for help.

“If you want us to be patriotic and love the military, then we have to feel like we’re being heard and that you care about our livelihood.”

Kelly Keilwitz said he had just come from a Little League game at Rhododendron Park, located at the end of the runway.

Holding up an electronic device, Keilwitz said he took consistent six-second duration readings in excess of 100 decibels.

Players were holding their ears to their shoulders trying to escape the noise, he said.

“This is unacceptable that our kids are out there and we know this is damaging their hearing,” Keilwitz said.

Jennifer Meyer, the base’s community liaison, attended the meeting and answered questions from the public.

She confirmed that OLF operations have indeed increased over the past decade.

The Navy was flying more than 20,000 oper-ations at the airstrip in 1990. That dropped in later years to as low as 2,500 but increased to about 13,000 in 2012 she said.

“The only real solution is compatible land use,” Meyer said.

Addressing wishes for the Navy to move touch-and-go operations to another existing airfield or to build a new facility altogether, Meyer said neither option is realistic due to a lack of funding. She suggested formation of a local improvement district.

Johnson, who was asked to moderate the meeting, grew up in Oak Harbor. She acknowledged that jet noise is a different ani-mal for Central Whidbey residents.

“I’ve been to someone’s home when they are going and thought, ‘Holy smokes,’” Johnson said. “That’s different than the, ‘Please pardon our noise, it’s the sound of freedom,’ sound that we’re used to hearing up here.”

But she made it clear from the beginning that she does not believe closing OLF to be a viable option and that she hopes to foster a conversation of mitigation and solutions.

While their positions differed, several peo-ple said after the meeting that Johnson earned their respect for honesty and forthrightness on a complicated and controversial issue.

At the same time, many wondered if any changes will come of the meeting.

“We were listened to,” said Michael Monson, a Coupeville resident.

“Heard, I don’t know.”

Tribal Community, assured him that the city didn’t have to worry about a lawsuit as long as ancestral remains were handled appropriately.

“We were operating under the understanding that we would complete the recovery work and the reburial and that would be sufficient,” Dudley said.

“We were under the impression that it would never come to this.”

The city engineer project-ed that the city will spend $4 million in the ongoing effort to recover the remains and cultural artifacts. Dudley said it could cost as much as another $2 million to rebury the remains in a newly-creat-ed cemetery.

Cladoosby said Thursday the tribal community decided to file the lawsuit this week because of the impending statute of limita-tions. A lawsuit must be filed within two years from the discovery date of June 16, 2011; the claim for damages must be filed 60 days before a lawsuit.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to sit down with the city and come to a settlement in the next 60 days and avoid going to court,” he said.

Cladoosby said he couldn’t discuss details of the impending litigation.

Swinomish isn’t the first tribe to sue over a grave disturbance.

Lummi Nation sued a firm that dug up a site of a former village to put in a wastewater-treatment plant; Golder Associates agreed to pay $4.25 million in dam-ages in 2004, according to the Seattle Times.

Five years ago, the state paid the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe $2.5 million to settle a lawsuit for the Hood Canal Bridge project that disturbed Native American graves.

The Swinomish Tribe’s claim against Oak Harbor seeks $6 million in general damages and $3 million in special damages. It states that the city already reim-bursed the tribe $611,000, the amount the city paid the tribe for work performed by spiritual leaders, monitors and handlers at the archaeo-logical site on Pit Road.

The claim also states that members of the Swinomish community sustained and continue to suffer economic losses and “severe stress, anguish, and spiritual and emotional distress.”

The claim includes a brief history of Indians on Whidbey Island.

“For hundreds, if not thou-

sands of years,” the claim states, “a native village and burial ground was located on the shores of Oak Harbor north of Maylor’s Point at a place called Tequcid.”

The Skagit and Swinomish people lived in the perma-nent village.

Under the terms of a 1855 treaty, the Native American people were required to move to the Swinomish Indians Reservation, “leav-ing behind generations of their ancestors who were buried there.”

The claim argues that the location of the ancient vil-lage and burial ground in the area of what is now down-town Oak Harbor was well known. The site was docu-mented by archaeologists in the 1920s and the 1950s; it was formally registered as a state archaeological site in 1953. In 1983, the Whidbey News-Times published photos of Native American remains being removed dur-ing construction work on SE Pioneer Way.

The city’s big construc-tion project Pioneer Way, which turned the road into a one-way street, began in 2011.

An official from the state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, known as DAHP, warned the city staff prior to con-struction about the “close proximity” of the archaeo-logical site.

DAHP “strongly recom-mended” that the city “retain the services of a profession-al archaeologist to moni-tor and report on ground disturbing activity along SE Pioneer Way ‚Ä¶ and help develop and implement an Inadvertent Discovery Plan for cultural materials.”

City officials conceded employees overlooked the warning.

The roadwork came to an abrupt halt on June 16 as a worker discovered human remains in the earth beneath the street.

The city hired an archaeo-logical firm to help with the complex process of dealing with inadvertent discover-ies of cultural materials. It turned out that a great deal of dirt was moved from the site and dumped at a gravel pit on Pit Road, the old city shop, three private residenc-es and an environmental clean-up site in Everett.

At the urging of the tribe, the city hired a firm and Swinomish workers to sift through all the dirt.

“The excavated and removed materials con-tained numerous Indian burials, thousands or prehis-toric and historic artifacts and fragments, and other archaeological resources,”

the claim states.The Swinomish claim

city employees treated the sacred burial ground with “callous disrespect.”

“As a result of the city’s actions, one of the Tribe’s ancient villages and burial grounds has been partially destroyed and permanent-ly desecrated,” the claim alleges. “Many of the Tribe’s ancestors have been dug up from their final resting places (often by backhoes or other heavy machinery), broken apart, separated from the family members and precious grave good with which they were laid to rest in sacred ceremonies.”

Dudley said the Swinomish wanted all the dirt which was removed from Pioneer Way to be buried together with the human remains and cultural artifacts. He proposed accommodating the request by turning the site of the old city shop into a new cemetery.

Discovery of the Native American remains occurred under former Mayor Jim Slowik. Dudley, who was a councilman at the time, was very critical of the adminis-tration and argued that the archaeological warnings were ignored in order to push through the contro-versial project as quickly as possible.

While admitting mistakes were made, Dudley said city officials did everything in their power to rectify the situation.

The city is currently cre-ating a cultural resources plan and may hire an on-staff archaeologist as the giant wastewater treatment facility project moves closer, he said.

“We’re getting prepared to ensure this never, ever happens again.”

A thick layer of fog covers Puget Sound waters on the west side of Whidbey Island near Bush Point late last month near sunset. When fog rolls in like this, ships often announce their presence by sounding fog horns.

telling her she could pull it off.

“She’ll make it,” Curtis said. “She has to.”

Flaig’s support network extends to her home. Her husband, Mike, and their two children — Lauren, 5, and Michael, 3 — are pulling for her.

“I know I can do it,” said

Flaig, whose never run far-ther than 17 miles. “Running is something I’ve always enjoyed. It’s tough but it’s never been like a chore. I have all the confidence in the world with this marathon.

“Another big motivator are my kids. I know how much they look up to me. They think my whole running thing is great. My mom and husband are really proud. I want to finish and do well because of them. I know how proud they are of me.”

Flaig is winding down her first eight years in the Navy. She said choosing an unorthodox way to exit and re-enter the Navy is “kind of cool,” but doesn’t think she’ll feel much differently during roughly four hours of run-ning detached from military service.

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference,” she said. “It’s exciting to know that I am going to be discharged and if I wanted to, I could run away

and never come back.”But that’s a route she’s

reserving for another day.“I haven’t accomplished

everything I want to accom-plish in the Navy yet,” she said.

Cmdr. William Fraser, Executive Officer at VAQ-139, said Flaig embodies what the Navy and his squadron desire in a sailor.

Flaig works in the base’s Quality Assurance Division, providing oversight and follow-up to ensure other

squadron maintenance work centers are adhering to published procedures and practices. Her role also is to provide advanced level train-ing to other maintainers.

“She is fairly junior to have been placed into the position she’s in — and she’s doing a tremendous job,” Curtis said. “Her level of expertise and knowledge in every way gives me a lot of confidence that she will only continue to excel.”

Fraser and Curtis also

have a lot of confidence that she’ll finish the marathon.

“Absolutely,” Fraser said.“I just hope she doesn’t

finish too far ahead of me,” Curtis said.

Flaig smiled at the Maintenance Officer.

“I will wait for you, MO,” she said.

Helping others is a wonderful notion, and finding the time to do good in today’s hectic world can be problematic. Fortunately, it is never impossible. Volunteering is a bit like physical exercise: once you feel the benefits you will be more inclined to make room for it in your schedule. This is even truer during National Volunteer Week, which runs from April 21 to 27 this year.

Volunteers are typically people in their retirement years who want not only to be useful, but also to have a sense of purpose in their lives and to experience the reward of contact with others. Many charitable organizations and sports associations would have to close their doors without the contributions of these people who bring a ray of sunshine with meals on wheels, accompany the ill to medical appointments, coach youth sports teams, or share their life experience in guiding those who may have gone astray in their own lives.

Volunteering mobilizes people of all ages and all levels of society and provides us with inspirational role models. Volunteer work generates benefits for both those who help and those who are helped. For proof of this, one only has to look

at the rewarding experiences the majority of caregivers report after having put their own lives on hold in order to look after a loved one.

All these people, as well as the help groups they volunteer with, are indispensable to our society. After having been helped, many people suffering from a disability or a chronic illness feel ready to support their peers in turn. Nothing can be more stimulating than such exchanges between people with a shared reality.

V-O-L-U-N-T-E-E-R-I-N-G12 letters that make a difference

Volunteer work keeps values of sharing and caring alive and well.
