Whidbey News-Times, August 11, 2012

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

The city of Oak Harbor currently has a whopping 24 unfilled positions, which has raised the ire of City Council members who are upset about Mayor Scott Dudley’s leadership.

The concerns led to an odd skirmish during a meeting Wednesday at which council members discussed a pos-sible hiring freeze because of the perceived fiscal emergen-cy and then passed a motion aimed at forcing the mayor to fill administrative positions expediently.

Dudley argued that the council’s actions were non-sensical and purely politi-cal, especially since interim leaders are currently filling the administrative positions and thereby saving the city a great deal of money.

“If they are truly concerned about the city’s finances, why identify the city admin-istrator and police chief as priorities to be filled when you already have excellent people in those positions?” Dudley said in an interview

after the meeting.Moreover, the council’s

actions may be in conflict with state law, which gives may-ors hiring and firing author-ity. Dudley said he checked with Municipal Research and Services Center and was told that the council did, in fact, overstep its bounds.

Yet several council mem-bers blamed the city’s predic-ament squarely on Dudley, who fired several key figures and is accused of creating a hostile environment that forced others to flee.

City Engineer Eric Johnston gave his notice this week, joining a long list of departing city officials. City Clerk Connie Wheeler has handed in her letter of resig-nation, as has Karen Crouch, the city administrator’s executive assistant. Police Lt. John Dyer has taken a job in

Night Out enjoyed by all of Oak HarborBy REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

As children partook in games and families enjoyed interactive booths at Oak Harbor’s annual National Night Out event Tuesday, the partnership between the community, Navy and law enforcement agencies was lighthearted but reinforced.

Fun games, prizes and a life-like SWAT dummy cer-tainly ramped up the excite-ment for children.

“It’s about police and com-munity partnerships and safe-ty and resources available to families in the community,” said Cathy Niiro, executive director of United Way of Island County and vendor manager for the event.

Often, the community only sees law enforcement members and firefighters taking care of the commu-nity by handling problems. At National Night Out, families can chat with them and get to know them, and children can enjoy activities and demon-strations by the agencies.

“It went great. We had lots of families and lots of kids who enjoyed the games,” said Amy Melquist, funds

The husband of a woman who died in a horse-breed-

ing accident on North Whidbey last year has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Island County Superior Court.

Oak Harbor attorney

Jacob Cohen is represent-ing Mark Kottke and his daughter in the lawsuit. Cohen filed the complaint for damages in Island County Superior Court

last month against Heather Kline, her husband and her parents.

The lawsuit requests damages for emotional trauma, emotional dam-ages, deprivation of a wife and mother, pain and suf-fering.

Cheryl Ann Kottke died at an equine facility on Highway 20 on May 19, 2011. She was assisting

Kline in the breeding of two horses and was kicked or trampled to death.

The lawsuit claims that Kline “negligently allowed the horses to breed by not using standard and cus-tomary procedures which would prevent the horses from moving during the breeding procedure.”

A 40-year-old Oak Harbor man who had sex with an underage girl at a friend’s house will be going to prison.

Jason Brown pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court Aug. 6 to indecent liberties.

Under the plea bargain, the pros-ecution and defense will recommend

an exceptional sentence — beyond the standard sentencing range — of three years in prison. His sentencing hearing hasn’t been set.

The owner of the Oak Harbor home called the police early in the morning of Feb. 4 to report a rape. The woman said she caught Brown in her bedroom with a 13-year-old girl; they were both in their underwear and putting their clothes on, accord-

ing to the report by Detective Jim Hoagland with the Oak Harbor Police Department.

In an interview with a detective, the girl said she and Brown had been hanging out and drinking, even though she told him she was just 13 years old. She said he started kissing and groping her in the kitchen, then took her to a bedroom and had sex with her.

The woman who owns the home interrupted the assault, kicked Brown out of the house and called the police.

Court documents state that Brown had moved to Oak Harbor from Wisconsin five weeks before the alleged assault. His criminal history includes two robberies, a theft and “battery by prisoners,” according to the police report.

The P-8As are coming to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, according to the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, who visit-ed Oak Harbor Tuesday with U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen.

After getting a tour of one of the new P-8A aircraft at Boeing in the morning, the two headed to Whidbey Island and made a brief stop between engagements on base at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor to meet with local VFW officers and the media.

“Whidbey Island is in our future,” Greenert said. “(Bringing the P-8A to NAS Whidbey is) the Decision of Record and our plan is to remain committed to that decision.

“So I would say relax, that’s where we’re headed,” he con-tinued.

According to Larsen, the Navy’s recent announcement to move a Reserve EA-6B squadron to NAS Whidbey is another good sign for the future role the base will con-tinue to serve.

“It’s one more step in the Navy’s commitment to Oak Harbor and the Whidbey Island community,” Larsen said.

During a tour of NAS Whidbey, Greenert and Larsen looked at Hangar 5, which has been remodeled and currently houses four modern EA-18G Growler squadrons. They also looked at Hangar 6, which is home to the aircraft the Poseidon will replace — the P-3 Orion. The tour exemplified what the Navy is trying to do in the face

of tighter budgets and fewer personnel.

“There will be some growth, but it’s more about modern-izing our existing facilities,” Greenert said.

“Hangar 5 is a good exam-ple of recapitalizing existing assets rather than building something new,” agreed Larsen. “In the future, repur-posing will be key to saving taxpayers money.”

The CNO, who is the senior uniformed officer in the Department of the Navy and acts as a military advisor to the Secretary of the Navy, said plans to bring Boeing-built Poseidons to Whidbey fit well with the Obama adminis-tration’s defense strategy, the so-called pivot to the Pacific.

“The P-8A and the capability it brings is a huge change from the four-engine turbo prop P-3s,” Greenert said. “It opens up a broad area of maritime surveillance capa-bilities.”

Regarding the subject of sequestration, $1.2 trillion in automatic budget cuts that will be implemented if members of Congress can’t agree on a spending plan, Greenert said it would have a huge impact on the Navy.

“To summarily go in and cut everything across the board, to say the least, would be destructive,” he said.

“I still think we can find a way to achieve deficit reduc-tion without sequestration,” Larsen added. “And I think there’s still a balanced and fair way to do that.”

This was Greenert’s first visit to NAS Whidbey Island since becoming CNO last September. Base command-er, Capt. Jay Johnston, was pleased with the experience.

“I was happy to show off the base and our community,” Johnston said.

VFW officers were also happy to host the brief visit.

“I’m a 20-year Navy vet-eran,” said Post Commander Keith Wooldridge. “The VFW definitely serves vets, so it’s good he came here.”

“I think it shows the stabil-

ity of the base itself for him to visit,” agreed Pete Sills. “It shows we’re on the map.”

Greenert wrapped up his

Whidbey Island visit with an all-hands call at the Skywarrior Theater on the Ault Field base.

the games,” said Amy Melquist, funds development coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, which had a booth with a ball toss for children.

Niiro also said the event went very well.

“I think it’s the largest crowd we ever had,” Niiro said, adding that with more than 50 booths, this year’s event had the most booths ever, too.

“It was very exciting as far as the attendance,” Melquist said.

Represented were local officials, law enforce-

ment, fire personnel, NAS Whidbey Security, social service agencies, fam-ily resource organizations and demonstrations like a Search and Rescue demon-stration, climbing wall, K-9 demonstration, crime scene investigations booth and DUI car crash.

“It was busy the whole time,” Niiro said.

The Oak Harbor Police Department’s booth got a lot of attention for its Peacekeeper tank, guns and realistic SWAT dummy.

“It went very well. I think everybody had a great time,” said Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner with the OHPD.

Detective Jim Hoagland, a member of the High-Risk Entry Team of OHPD,

answered questions about the dummy, which was out-fitted head to toe in gear, including a gas mask, ammunition and a face shield.

“Everybody said it looked real,” Hoagland said. The goal was to help people understand what the SWAT team wears. When people heard that the gear weighs 80 to 100 pounds, Hoagland said the response was, “Wow.”

The OHPD also set up a DUI crash scene, complete with dented cars and volun-teers wearing makeup so they appeared to have been in a car crash.

“It’s pretty intense,” Hoagland said. The sce-nario played out with a res-cue, sobriety test and mock arrest.

The OHPD also offered sign-ups for its upcom-ing block watch program. Gardner said the program saw a lot of interest. Sign-ups are still open. To sign up, call the OHPD at 279-4600.

A booth that caught Niiro’s attention was Feed the Need by the Interfaith Coalition. The booth fea-tured an activity to help children understand what it’s like for families living on limited incomes and the decisions they have to face, like paying the rent or put-ting food on the table.

New this year was the Oak Harbor Youth Commission.

“They had a lot of good feedback and interaction with people about needs for youth in the community,” Niiro said.

Also new to National Night Out was the Whidbey Island Bicycle Club. Members handed out maps of bike routes and taught about healthy choices, Niiro said.

“The families seemed to have a good time,” Melquist said.

Melquist said Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County would like to thank United Way for put-ting on the event.

Christopher C. Barker

Christopher C Barker, age 82, longtime resident of Whidbey Island, died peace-fully at home on July 5, 2012, from a cancer-related illness. He was born in London, England on May 24, 1930. His mother, Virginia Barker, was from Tacoma and his father, A. Trevor Barker, was an Englishman.

In July, 1940, Virginia brought her four children to America due to the esca-lation of World War II in England. They stayed with her mother, Anne T. Beadle, on Vashon Island for their first nine months in this country. Trevor was not allowed to leave the country due to the shortage of man-power. He died the following July.

The family moved to Olympia for the next 12 years. Chris graduated from Olympia High School in 1949 and attended WSU for one year before joining the U.S. Navy. He gradu-ated top of his class in Corps School and ultimately, after 20 years of military ser-vice, achieved the rank of Hospital Corpsman Master Chief. He became a subma-riner serving aboard the following submarines: USS Sea Cat, USS Sargo, USS Benjamin Franklin and the USS Flasher. He retired in 1971 at Pearl Harbor where he had been stationed for the last 12 years.

Chris built his own 22-ton ferro-cement hull 55 foot sail-boat, the Ama Ama II, during his off hours and launched it

in Hawaii the same week he retired. After settling on Whidbey Island, he took an active part in the Whidbey Island Radio Control Society and built over 30 RC model airplanes which he flew for many years. He was award-ed a Lifetime Membership in the club in 2010.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Gwenn Barker Harsh and brother, David K. Barker. Survivors include his sister, Ann Barker Holland; niece Dana Skutt Delman of Claremont, Calif.; nephew, Jim Skutt of Portland, Ore., and his beloved cat, Obe.

A memorial for Chris will be held at the Oak Harbor Yacht Club on Sunday, Aug. 19, at 2 p.m. Military honors will be provided by the NAS Whidbey Island Honor Guard. In lieu of flow-ers, friends may donate to Hospice of the Northwest Foundation, PO Box 1376, Mt. Vernon, WA 98273, or WAIF, PO Box 1108, Coupeville, WA 98239.

OBITUARYPatrick C. McKinnon

Patrick C. McKinnon died at his home on Aug. 5, 2012, at the age of 81. He was born Jan. 14, 1931 in Memphis, Tenn. Pat moved with his family from Memphis to Washington, D.C., and then on to California, where he graduated from high school in Sacramento. He then became a Christian Brother’s and a math teach-er at the high school at St. Mary’s Church of Moraga, Calif.

Pat eventually left the order and enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a sailor and began working his way up through the ranks. He left the Navy, but returned when he was selected for Officer Candidate School and was commissioned as an officer. He was assigned to Naval Aviation as a Navigator-Bombardier, first with the A-3 Skywarrior and then with the A6 Intruder. Pat served with the Navy for 20 years, retiring as a LCDR in 1977.

Following his Navy career, Pat returned to college and received his teaching credentials from Western Washington University. In 1978 he began a second career as a math teacher at Oak Harbor High School for the next 17 years, retiring again in 1995. Pat was mar-ried to his first wife JoAnn and from that marriage, six children were born. Pat was married to Patricia McAuliffe on Dec. 20, 1980, at NAS Whidbey Chapel.

Pat had a love of adven-ture and travel and in 1992, established the Pacific World Cruises, a group of sailors who envisioned sail-ing around the world. Pat put together groups of sail-ors who would gather their crews and set sail under his guidance. His first cruise was in 1997 with a group of six boats, setting sail from San Francisco, headed to Fiji. Six months later, they landed in Fiji, where Pat win-tered his boat and returned home. He returned later in the year, picking up the boat and continuing on to Singapore, where he even-tually sold the boat and returned to Whidbey.

Pat’s love of sailing con-tinued at home, where he was a charter member of the Whidbey Race Week and sailed on the first boat to win in the first race of the first Race Week. He participated in every Race Week and was able to attend Race Week last month. He was also a participant in the Around Whidbey Race, sailing from Deception Pass to Oak Harbor, an all-night race. Pat was a long-time member of the Oak Harbor Yacht Club and served as Commodore and Rear Commodore.

Pat is survived by his wife Patty at the family home, and by four children: Tom McKinnon and wife Kristin of Poulsbo, Kathleen McGuinness of Kenmore, Elizabeth McKinnon of Mount Vernon and Bill McKinnon and wife Michelle of Woodinville, and one sis-ter Carline Eneboe and hus-band Ron of Hilmar, Calif. Nine grandchildren also survive. He was preceded in death by his parents and two daughters Patricia Ann and Ann Elizabeth and by one brother Neal McKinnon and one sister Mary Markarcan.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Augustine Catholic Church, Oak Harbor, on Saturday, Aug. 11, at 9 a.m. with Rev. Philip Raether as Celebrant. Recitation of the Rosary was held Aug. 10 at the church. Cremation will follow with private family committal rites to follow at Sunnyside Cemetery, Coupeville. Memorial may be made to St. Augustine Church Memorial Fund. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories and con-dolences at www.wallinfu-neralhome.com.

Hunter displays his ignorance

Mr. Lindell’s comments (Letters, July 25) regard-ing his opposition to 2010’s gunfire ban on Deer Lagoon proves my point: He is obvi-ously one of the tiny number of duck hunters who stub-bornly refuse to acknowl-edge the proven fact that their gunfire endangers the hundreds of people who reside and recreate along-side Deer Lagoon.

Was he listening to testi-mony given by numerous residents at the public hear-ings when they described birdshot hitting their homes’

windows? Is he accusing the 90-year-old woman who testified that she had been struck by hunters’ pellets of being a liar? Did he hear that some hunters had threat-ened residents who politely asked them to not shoot on their property?

Gunfire had been legal-ized on the lagoon only after three good old boy com-missioners removed a long standing ban in 2005 (any hunting before that was out-and-out poaching). Former county commissioner Mac McDowell stated then that hunting on Deer Lagoon entailed “an acceptable risk to residents!” Wow! I wonder if he would be so callous if someone he loved were seriously injured by unregu-lated gunfire! Apparently, neither the former commis-sioners nor hunters took

into account the increasing population density in this neighborhood.

So, Mr. Lindell, you say, “One down, two to go.” Sounds like you are insinu-ating that some folks should once more become collat-eral damage for your target practice! Responsible hunt-ers don’t want or need to shoot within range of where kids and grownups paddle, walk, bicycle and observe the wildlife.

Public safety, sir, is not a partisan issue. Our neigh-bors, Republicans and Democrats alike, petitioned county government to pro-tect us. Many of them are hunters themselves. Justice was done. Blaming Angie Homola shows your willful ignorance of the total pic-ture.

Letters to the editor

iN oUr oPiNioN

Island County was well served by the losers of the two Island County Commissioner positions that appeared on Tueday’s primary ballot. Voters in both districts were treat-ed to a number of good choices, regardless of how many votes they may ultimately have received.

In District 2, which serves mainly Oak Harbor, the two survivors advancing to the general election are Democratic incumbent Angie Homola and Republican challenger Jill Johnson. But the two candidates left behind both did pretty well, with Republican Jim Campbell garnering roughly 24 percent of the vote and Republican Phil Collier 10 percent. Campbell brought his city council experience to the race as well as a rational demeanor that many voters felt comfort-able with. Collier was more colorful, but he made the race fun and made some good points against bureaucracy.

In District 1, covering South and Central Whidbey, incumbent Helen Price Johnson did remarkably well. Winning about 55 percent of the first night’s vote count was mighty impressive. It was disappointing that independent Curt Gordon collected only 14 percent of the vote. A likable community leader on South Whidbey for many years, and presently an elected port commissioner, he has now lost twice running as an independent for county commissioner. Lesson: If you want to make a serious run for countywide office, call yourself a Democrat or Republican. Voters aren’t comfortable with other labels.

Also in District 1, Jeff Lauderdale showed that hard work pays off in winning second place and advancing to the November ballot as Price Johnson’s Republican oppo-nent. His 26 percent support wasn’t impressive but he worked for every vote and did his homework better than any other challenger. With the party entirely behind him, he’s likely to do better in November.

As for the other District 1 competitors, Republican Wayne Morrison used his personal experiences in business to point out specific problems with overregulation. He only received 4.5 percent of the vote, but he made his point in a calm, respectable manner. Ed Jenkins ran as an independent with incredible self confidence and obvious distaste for the ideas of others. He won only 1.18 percent of the vote, but his pres-ence made the forums colorful and lively.

The primary for county commissioner included only voters within the district. The November vote will be countywide, so anything can happen. Before looking ahead, we should look back and thank all those “losing” candidates who made the democratic process so much more educational and entertaining.

Thanks for running, folks

Voters turnout surprisingly low in Oak HarborBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

The two incumbent Island County commissioners, both Democrats, made it through the Top Two Primary and will face Republican chal-lengers in the Nov. 6 elec-tion.

Oddly, twice as many peo-ple voted in District 1, which runs from South Whidbey to just south of Oak Harbor, as did those in District 2, which encompasses conservative-leaning Oak Harbor. That could potentially spell trou-

ble in the general election for Republican candidates.

A total of 10,003 ballots had been counted from District 1 as of Thursday night, while only 4,960 voters in District 2 mailed in ballots. The pop-ulation of the districts are roughly equivalent.

Jill Johnson, a Republican, will face incumbent Commissioner Angie Homola in District 2. Johnson won 34 percent of the vote while Homola cur-rently has 32 percent.

Jim Campbell, a Republican, and indepen-dent candidate Phil Collier were knocked out of the race. Campbell got 24 per-cent while Collier has 10 percent.

In District 1, incumbent Commissioner Helen Price Johnson’s lead has nar-rowed slightly, but she still has 55 percent of the vote. She will face Republican Jeff Lauderdale, who has 26 per-cent. Independent candidate Curt Gordon, Republican Wayne Morrison and no-party candidate Ed Jenkins were eliminated.

In an interview after the Thursday vote count, Homola said the results looked good for her; she did well against three challeng-ers in the county’s most con-servative district. She said the low turnout in District 2 may be because voters are satisfied with the status quo.

“Maybe people are happy

with what’s been going on and feel that government is doing well with the chal-lenges we are facing,” she said. She added that she and Price Johnson were able to balance the budget during the historic revenue shortfall and even earned an increase in the county’s bond rating

Both Jill Johnson and Campbell, however, cited concerns about the orga-nization of the county’s Republican party. Campbell predicted the outcome of the District 2 race will depend on whether Republicans on South Whidbey can be moti-vate to vote and be involved.

Likewise, Johnson esti-mated the small turnout in Republican-heavy District 2

was due, in part, to a rift that’s developed in the local party, discouraging some people from involvement.

“The Republican party is divided between Tea Party and moderate Republicans,” she said, adding that she’s tried to stay out of the fray and concentrate on her mes-sage.

Even so, Johnson said the results were very encourag-ing and show that Homola “obviously does not do a good job of representing her district.”

In other races, Oak Harbor’s own Barbara Bailey has moved further ahead of incumbent state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen. Bailey, currently a Republican state

representative, won 16,687 votes in Legislative District 10, or about 52 percent. Haugen, a Democrat, has 15,212 votes, or 48 percent.

Langley barista Aaron Simpson, a Democrat, did surprisingly well against incumbent Republican Rep. Norma Smith. Smith has 59 percent to Simpson’s 41 per-cent.

“It’s no longer a David-and-Goliath battle,” Simpson said. “It’s a fair fight.”

The Whidbey EMS levy renewal passed by a land-slide with 71 percent of the vote; it needed 50 percent to pass.

The General Election date is Tuesday, Nov. 6.


Colorado. The human resources director took a job in Skagit County and her assistant left.

Since taking office in January, Dudley fired the city administrator and the police chief. He fired the city attorney and then fired the replacement city attorney.

Other open positions include two administrative assistants, a firefighter, two assistant city attor-neys, a harbormaster, a jailer, two police officers, an evidence tech, a trash collector, a water special-ist and a treatment plant operator.

“This is the highest number of openings in the city’s history,” inter-im Human Resources Director Cheryl Lawler said.

Councilman Rick Almberg suggested a hiring freeze during the Wednesday night regular meeting in response to a fiscal emergency that the council declared earlier this year; the declaration was largely in response to the costs associated with the terminations and dis-appointing sales tax num-bers.

Almberg and other council members then criticized the mayor for not moving forward with filling administrative posi-tions.

Dudley’s head nearly blew up.

“If we operate like we’re in a fiscal emergency, we don’t go out and hire a city

administrator when we have a great city admin-istrator already,” Dudley said, referring to interim city administrator Larry Cort.

The council members have been harshly criti-cal of Dudley for firing people, particularly for the high severance costs. Dudley pointed out that he filled the city administra-tor and police chief posi-tions on an interim basis with current employees, saving the city a lot of money in the process. If the interims stay in place long enough, it would save the city enough money to make up for the severance costs that the council’s so angry about.

Former Mayor Patty Cohen, for example, ran the city with interim city administrators and an interim police chief sever-al times during her tenure. Cathy Rosen, the public works director, doubled as the interim city admin-istrator for 10 months during one stretch, saving the city tens of thousands of dollars.

Contracting to fill the city attorney’s posi-tion, however, has been expensive. Attorney Grant Weed, who specializes in municipal law, billed the city for $17,000 in June and $25,000 in July. Combined, that’s about twice what the city attorney would have earned. Yet Dudley point-ed out that last year the city employed an assistant attorney as well as a city attorney, and spent about $97,000 on outside legal work.

Yet the council mem-bers insist that the posi-tions be filled quickly.

Councilwoman Tara Hizon admitted that “mathemati-cally it does not make sense,” but she said it’s about having permanent leadership and “the intan-gibles.”

Several council mem-bers became upset when Lawler, the Human Resources director, admit-ted that the mayor had halted the process for hiring a new police chief; Lt. Tim Sterkel is cur-rently filling the role on an interim basis. Dudley explained that he thought the council’s declaration of a fiscal emergency meant he shouldn’t be spending money on hiring a chief when the police depart-ment is doing fine under interim leadership.

The council members, however, had made it clear that they wanted perma-nent people in those posi-tions as quickly as pos-sible.

“There’s double talk going on. Or spin going on,” Almberg said.

“Councilwoman Munns begged for this position to be filled,” Councilman Joel Servatius said. Beth Munns was absent Wednesday, but she had been so concerned about filling the positions quick-ly that she asked for a regular updates on the progress and pleaded to be kept in the loop.

Hizon indicated she wasn’t happy that the attorney position hadn’t been advertised sooner.

Cort explained that the hiring process was still on track. Jessica Hoyson, former Human Resources director, had created a timeline for advertising and filling the administra-

tive positions before she left. She made it clear that the department only has the capacity to go through the process of filling one administrative position at a time.

The council passed a motion to move ahead with the process of hiring department heads.

Councilman Jim Campbell joined Dudley and the HR director in arguing against Almberg’s proposal to freeze hiring on all the non-administra-tive positions without any investigation whatsoever. Campbell suggested a workshop with depart-ment heads to see which positions need to be filled right away and what can wait.

Lawler argued that a hiring freeze would not be in the best interest of the city and would affect the morale of employees.

“You may continue to see people leave and that will create a hardship for the city,” she warned.

But Almberg didn’t agree.

“That’s not why they are leaving. Let’s be clear about that,” he said.

Later, Almberg lament-ed the resignation of the City Engineer Eric Johnston, who he consid-ered a very competent engineer with a lot of institutional knowledge. Johnston had been faulted by some — others would say scapegoated — for the trouble with the Pioneer Way project.

“Quite frankly,” Almberg said, “I think it’s a hostile environment that’s been imposed on that individual and probably others.”

Election: commissioners survive to fight another day

Family and friends of Electronic Attack Squadron 131 (VAQ-131) “Lancers” happily celebrated the squadron’s arriv-al home over the weekend after eight months of combat opera-tions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

The jet fly-in occurred Aug. 3 followed by maintenance and support personnel who arrived home Aug. 4.

Four EA-6B Prowlers, along with 170 aircrew, maintenance and support personnel, returned Friday and Saturday, respec-tively, after leaving early last December for duty aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). While deployed, the Lancers flew 1,805 flight hours of which 1,393 hours were during com-bat sorties which numbered 226 of a total of 504. The squadron flew day and night missions, providing the full spectrum of electronic support to ground

forces engaged in direct combat in Afghanistan. They performed maritime security operations in 5th, 6th and 7th Fleets.

“I am extremely proud of the hard work and perseverance of the entire Lancer team during this challenging deployment,” said Cmdr. Stephen Flaherty, VAQ-131 Commanding Officer, in a release. “Our extraordinary success would not have been possible without each sailor’s commitment to excellence.”

VAQ-131 enjoyed several interesting port calls to Pattaya Beach, Thailand; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; two visits to Bahrain; and Antalya, Turkey.

Returning with the squad-ron are 17 members of the Sea Operational Detachment from Fleet Readiness Center Northwest that provide techni-cal support to keep the jets in top condition.

Information packets contain cotton cord, diagrams showing how to use the cord to close pots, handy information on regulations and tools to measure crabs, plus a pen to mark your catch cards.

Crabbing season runs Thursdays through Mondays, until Sept. 3, in waters surrounding Island County.

WSU Island County Beach Watchers encourages all crabbers to use cotton cord (rotten cotton) to secure doors of crab pots.

“Cotton cord will rot if pots are lost; derelict crab gear continues to catch, and kill, crabs for years,” said Barbara Lyon Bennett, pro-gram coordinator for WSU

Beach Watchers in Island County.

“Here’s what crabbers can do to maintain an abun-dant, and delicious, supply of crab,” Bennett said, making several recommendations:

• Use rotten cotton cord (no plastic or chemical con-tent cord) to secure doors of crab pots.

• Abide by all regulations.• Only harvest crabs that

are the minimum size.• Do not harvest soft-

shelled crabs.

• Mark pots and check water depth before dropping pots. Lost pots continue to catch and kill crabs for years.

• Report lost pots so they can be recovered by using a derelict gear reporting hotline, 1-855-542-3935.

Look for WSU Beach Watchers at boat ramps in Island County, they will have cotton cord and copies of regulations.

“No crabs should die wastefully, in derelict gear,” Bennett said.

Eric McCardle qualified for the 112th United States Golf Association amateur championship by winning the sectional qualifier in Boulder City, Nev., July 30 and 31.

The Oak Harbor High School graduate competes in the USGA amateur championship starting Monday at Cherry Hill Country Club outside of Denver. He will play 36 holes of stroke play over the first two days, then the top 64 qualify for match play beginning Wednesday. The winner receives an automatic berth into the Masters and U.S. Open tournaments.

The USGA amateur tournament will be televised on the Golf Channel during the week and by NBC on the weekend.

In the sectional qualifier at the Boulder Creek Golf Course, McCardle, who currently lives in Las Vegas, shot an eight-under 134 (66-68) with nine birdies and one bogey on the par-71 course to win by three strokes.

As well as winning the section-al meet, McCardle captured the Whidbey Golf and Country Club Invitational and the Nevada State Amateur Qualifier earlier this summer. He also placed third in the Nevada State Pro/Am (play-ing with former OHHS teammate Phil Reedy), fourth at the Nevada Men’s Amateur and fifth at the Clark County (Nevada) Amateur.

NW Running club sends members on scavenger hunt

Mixing exercise with fun, the North Whidbey Running Club members hustled around Oak Harbor on a scavenger hunt Aug. 1.

The NWRC athletes, starting at North Whidbey Middle School and taking advan-tage of beautiful weather, took a mile-and-a-half jaunt around the surrounding area looking for different clues. Each clue sent them to a different destination where per-forming some cross-training exercises was required to continue on with the hunt.

Along the way the runners encountered such tasks as marine-style pushups and Thrive-inspired jumping jacks.

The final destination was a stop at 7-Eleven for a much deserved Slurpee.

NWRC coach Curtis Vieke received help for the scavenger hunt from the Ma-rines at the Armed Forces Center, Thrive and 7-Eleven.

The North Whidbey Running Club is sponsored by the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District and is open to kids 4 to 18. The club offers a free two-week trial period.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

My son will live here at home another month before returning to col-lege, but we’ve started gathering essentials to outfit his first apartment. While moving personal items to the attic this week, I came across a box labeled “family cor-

respondence — college years.” The enclosed letters are a great representation of my parents and the ways both chose to communicate with me. Newspaper articles and news about family and friends came from my mom. Dad contributed carefully crafted words, represent-ing deep thought and sentimentality. Today I treasure everything about those letters, just as I did 35 years ago when I was a young col-lege student, wanting to know what was going on back home. Only today my appreciation is more profound, for I am a parent of a collegian and the same burning desire to impart love and wisdom churns deep inside of me. In this day of email and texting, seeing my parents’ familiar handwriting touches me deeply. As I read through them I enjoy the mental image of both sitting at their desk, sometime during the evening after work, to pour heart and soul onto stationery because they understood that their thoughts were safe with me. Dad, in particular, indulged in a great deal of sentimentality.

“You have been away to school about 10 days now and I am missing you greatly already. My knowledge that you are doing what you have wanted for so long and what your mother and I take as our pleasure in helping you to do makes our first real separation bearable but not easy. I miss your cheery ‘hello’ but take pleasure in the circumstances that you take from us.”

When I wondered if I could manage a part-time job as a dorm resident adviser while attending school full-time, Dad wrote, “If you want to do something worthwhile in life you must be a risk taker and not be afraid of failure. History is full of examples of people who failed many times before they achieved a worthwhile and outstanding goal.”

Dad’s words of encouragement take on new meaning today as I share their wisdom. Cancer ended our ability to talk and interact in this world, but I’m reminded with these words that love never dies. Its power breaks physical barriers and lives into eternity. That legacy of love emboldens me to communicate with my children without abandon, even when the sentimentality slightly embarrasses them and may not be accepted with the reaction I desire. I remind myself that bravely speaking love and encouragement and sharing nearly a century of gained wisdom will allow me to love on them when I’m unable to be there in person.

Let’s stop at some point this week and thank God for the wisdom and encouragement He hands us, each and every day, through people and circumstances. And may we make it a point to use words that encourage the people in our lives, never doubting that faithful sentiments can and will impact our world, now and into the future.

Letters link across the milesFAITHFUL LIVINGBy Joan Bay Klope

By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

While other teenagers are play-ing video games and vacationing, a handful of Whidbey Island teens are preparing for an earthquake and tsunami of epic proportions.

When the Red Cross asked the 4-HD Video Club to make a video preparing Whidbey Islanders for the possibility of an earthquake and tsunami that would isolate the island from the mainland, club members leaped on the idea. Despite the severity of the danger and the seriousness of preparing for such an event, the 4-HD Video Club found time to have a little fun while educating islanders.

The group will debut their 45-minute earthquake disas-ter preparedness video at the Whidbey Island Fair Aug. 16 through 19 in Langley. Showings will be at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily in the Fine Arts Room in the Pole Building of the Island County Fairgrounds.

Headed by Robert Elphick, a geophysicist who worked for NASA, the 4-HD Video Club is unique to the 20 4-H clubs on Whidbey Island because it focuses on technology rather than animals. In the two years the club has existed, members have put quick-response codes on the Coupeville Wharf that, when scanned with a smartphone, lead to historical information, created high-tech posters for Whidbey Island Nourishes and made a number of videos, including an interview with a World War II veteran.

“A lot of people think that 4-H is just animals … it’s important to realize there are clubs out there like ours that are teaching them about technology,” Elphick said.

The Red Cross approached the group nine months ago and asked them to create a video that would prepare the community for disasters. The group latched onto the idea of earthquake preparation and started learning everything there is to know about earthquakes, Elphick said.

Four club members invested a number of days per week over the past nine months to put the project in action: 12-year-old twin brothers Dustin and Avrey Scharwat, Isaac Cash, 13, and Patrick O’Brien, 14.

Their educational journey into earthquakes took them to the University of Washington, where United State Geological Services has a station to monitor earth-quakes across the state. Despite the abundance of information, the kids already knew it all, thanks to Elphick, said Paula Scharwat,

co-leader of the club.The first half of the video fair-

goers will see focuses on the geophysics of earthquakes, with special attention to the Cascadia Fault, which stretches from Vancouver Island to northern California. The second half of the video explains what Whidbey Island families can do to prepare for a disastrous earthquake and tsunami.

To create their video, club mem-bers put together a storyboard more than 50 pages long using Mac computer software, which Elphick, a member of Macintosh Appreciation Group of Island County (MAGIC), is devoted to teaching. The teens created mov-ing animations and diagrams for their video and filmed sequences around the island.

Club members filmed inter-views with Eric Brooks of the Department of Emergency Management, as well as mem-bers of the Red Cross and the Island County Amateur Radio Club and more. Their video cov-ers topics like how to secure a house for an earthquake, how much food and water to store and what to do if the bridge and ferries are knocked out, leav-ing Whidbey isolated from the mainland indefinitely. The club found out that only three days of supplies would be available from local grocery stores.

They also filmed sequences detailing what to do if you find yourself in a dangerous location during an earthquake, such as near trees, and how to do “duck,

cover and hold” for protection during an earthquake.

“We are now experts and it shows in the movie,” Elphick laughed.

“I’ve learned a lot of things that I never knew before and I really enjoyed doing this,” Avrey Scharwat said. Not only did he learn about local faults but he also used software to create ani-mations of the faults and a three-dimensional image of Deception Pass Bridge.

“I learned a lot this year,” Cash said, adding that he learned how to use a variety of new software programs.

Paula Scharwat said that the boys enjoyed learning the com-puter programs so much that they’ve put their new skills to use for their own enjoyment and cre-ate fun videos in their free time.

“I really enjoyed going to the University of Washington and learning about all the earthquake stuff they do there with the seis-mograms. I thought that was really cool and how they have a network all over the world,” O’Brien said.

The club members will use what they learned for their next project, which Elphick said will be video and photos of Venus and Saturn through a telescope. That is, if other agencies don’t approach the club for assis-tance first. From the Northwest Language Academy to the South Whidbey History Society, the teens have been busy using their skills to benefit their community.

“So they see the quality of

work 4-H’ers are doing and get asked. But it’s great community service that all of them are learn-ing to do to give back to the com-munity,” Paula Scharwat said.

But the quality of work is the product of the club members put-ting tons of quality time into the project, with a few meetings per week during summer vacation, and Elphick’s leadership.

“Robert’s a good leader. He teaches us a lot, and he gave me a waffle cone today,” Dustin Scharwat said.

“Robert has a good sense of humor and he keeps the kids involved,” Paula Scharwat added.

As a mentor for the boys, Elphick shares his knowledge — and his sense of fun. As the boys rushed outside to film a scene teaching what to do if you find yourself on a beach during an earthquake, Elphick followed with the camera.

“So how dirty can we get these kids,” he joked as the boys will-ingly threw themselves in the sand to film the scene.

As they put the finishing touch-es on their video before showing it at the fair, Paula Scharwat said she’s excited to see teenagers creating such worthwhile, talent-ed work.

“It’s amazing the quality of work that can be done by teenag-ers,” she said.

After viewing the club’s video at the fair, visit them at their booth to see the other projects they’re working on.

Additions to existing buildings ex- ceeding 60% of the fair ma r ke t va l ue o f t he building would also be subject to requirements of the SMP. The update to the City’s SMP is a non-project action meaning that there is no development or construction proposed. This is an update to the City’s policies and regulations.

Take 5Special


By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

An identity struggle, a search for love, plus deli-cious gourmet food — and the recipes — blend to form Coupeville literary agent

Andrea Hurst’s first novel. A book launch party is set for 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 15 at Bayleaf in Coupeville.

“The Guestbook” takes place on scenic Madrona Island in the Pacific

Northwest, and Whidbey Islanders may notice a few similarities to Hurst’s home island, Whidbey.

“I really modeled a lot of the idea on Whidbey and kept it fiction to play with it a bit,” Hurst said.

Hurst got the idea for the story while visiting the Farm House Bed & Breakfast in Clinton when she saw the owner reading the guest-book.

“It’s just a peek into peo-ple’s lives… and I just got the idea right there,” Hurst said.

A journey into the imagi-nation began. Hurst visited a number of bed and break-fasts and had the opportu-nity to look at some of the guestbooks for ideas.

“The Guestbook” focuses on Lily Parkins, who flees her overbearing husband and life among the privileged set to take over her grand-mother’s island bed and breakfast. Lily struggles to rediscover her own identity, but must ultimately decide if she’s strong enough to pursue her dreams and to fall in love again, Hurst said.

“Escape. I wrote it for escape,” Hurst said, adding that “The Guestbook” is the perfect vacation read to curl

up with — especially with a few of the divine brownies featured in the book.

“I wrote it for people who want a fun read and fun reci-pes,” Hurst said. The mouth-watering dishes made in the book aren’t just left to the imagination — the real reci-pes are in the book.

Although Hurst is a Coupeville resident, she wasn’t living on the island during most of the writing process. Her favorite part of writing the book was returning to the island to do research surrounded by the natural beauty.

Hurst has worked as a liter-ary agent for years through her business, Andrea Hurst & Associates Literary Management, and she has penned nonfiction books, including “The Lazy Dog’s Guide to Enlightenment” and “A Book of Miracles.” For Hurst, writing fiction was “a whole different ride.”

“I’ve become totally hooked on it now,” Hurst said of writing fiction. “The Guestbook” is just the first in the Madrona Island tril-ogy and readers can expect number two to come out next year.

Hurst also volunteers her time at Just Write on the Pier, a group that meets every Wednesday in Coupeville to write, and she teaches through the mas-ter of fine arts in creative writing program through the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts.

“There are a lot of writers on this island and a lot of great inspiration here, a lot of beautiful places,” Hurst said.

“The Guestbook” is avail-able on Amazon.com as well as in local bookstores and at the book launch party Aug. 15, at which Hurst will also

read from the book.“Fiction takes a lot of work

but it’s worth it and I’m just excited to share it with read-ers. I hope readers enjoy it,” Hurst said.
