A third-grade student at Broadview Elementary School in Oak Harbor got an early present from Santa Thursday morning.

When Nathan Dixon, 9, brought the attendance sheet into the office for his teacher, he had no idea his mom, Navy Logistics Specialist 1st Class Pilar Arteaga, would be there to surprise him.

“Mommy!” he cried as she

crept up behind him, drawing him into a close embrace and rocking him back and forth.

“You have gotten taller,” Arteaga told him between pressing kisses on his fore-head.

Arteaga is part of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 103, based at Naval Air Station Oceana, Va., which has been deployed on the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) for the past six months. Originally scheduled for a nine-month

deployment, plans were changed and the ship returned to port in Norfolk, Va. earlier this week.

Nathan wasn’t expecting to see his mom again until March, but Arteaga was able to take advantage of the change in the Eisenhower’s schedule and returned Wednesday to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island with Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 140.

Arteaga is a single parent

who must make arrange-ments for Nathan’s care while she is deployed. Nathan’s guardians, Mike and Judi Consolver, moved to Oak Harbor six months ago, following Mike’s retirement

Home for the holidays

By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

When Desire Elsen brought her four children to Christmas Village at Home Depot Thursday evening, the kids had no idea that their biggest Christmas present was arriving early.

When Desire, Nivaeh, 10, Kylie, 8, Kaden, 6, and

Delilah, 4, arrived at the fes-tive Christmas Village, they excitedly got photos with Frosty the Snowman before dashing around to see the horses and other animals.

As they posed with the beloved Christmas character, the kids had no idea that underneath the Frosty cos-tume was their dad, Keenan,

who has been deployed since June with VAQ-140 as an Aviation Structural Mechanic Equipment First Class on the USS Eisenhower.

The squadron was sched-uled for a nine-month deploy-ment but the ship returned early to Norfolk, Va. and Keenan will get to spend a few months at home before

deploying for another six months in February.

As the kids delightedly took a train ride around the parking lot with Frosty, Desire watched, her face glowing with joy.

She knew her husband was dressed as Frosty but

Killer�swaps�confession�for�cup�of�coffee�and�cashBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

Suspected double-mur-derer Joshua Lambert led detectives to a hidden shot-gun for $50 and offered to write a confession for another $50 and a cup of coffee.

Those details are includ-ed in a Motion in Support of Admission of Defendant’s Statements that Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks filed in Superior Court last week.

Banks is asking the judge to allow him to present at trial a number of allegedly incriminating and unusu-al statements made by Lambert.

Lambert, a 31-year-old homeless Oak Harbor man, is facing two counts of first-degree murder and one count of kidnapping for allegedly murdering his two grandfathers and tying up his great-aunt in October

2011. He is acting as his own

attorney and is claiming he’s not guilty by reason of insanity. His trial is set for March 12.

On Dec. 21, 2011, Lambert sent a letter from his jail cell to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

He suggested he may know the whereabouts of a sawed-off shotgun missing from the home of one of the victims.

He offered to provide information in exchange for $50, Banks wrote in the motion.

Lambert drew a map to help the detectives find the gun.

The next day, the detec-tives brought Lambert to the wooded area in Oak Harbor to help look for the gun.

They eventually found it nearby and Lambert got his

money.A month later, Lambert

sent another unsolicited let-ter to Wallace, offering to provide “a written confes-sion to the two murders for $50 and a cup of coffee and maybe another folder like the one that the discovery came in, but the folder is negotiable,” Lambert’s let-ter states.

He sent another letter the next day offering to tes-tify in court that he commit-ted the alleged homicides for an additional $50, the motion states.

A few weeks later, Lambert provided the prosecution with a five-page, hand-written confes-sion.

Wallace said Lambert got the money and a cup of coffee.

In addition, Banks wrote that he plans to present statements that Lambert allegedly made to an Oak

Harbor police detective and the jail chief.

After the Oak Harbor police arrested him in the middle of N. Oak Harbor Street Oct. 3, 2011, a detec-

tive asked him whether he had any weapons, needles or anything sharp on him. Lambert allegedly stated that he had some needles, but that he believes he

dropped or lost “the knife,” Banks wrote.

A few weeks later, Lambert allegedly told the jail chief that he had “killed people,” the motion states.

Connecticut shooting prompts school security reviewsBy NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter

In the wake of the Dec. 14 shooting in Connecticut where 20 students and six adults were killed, Oak Harbor school officials are busy reviewing security policies and informing par-ents about safety around the district.

During a special Oak Harbor School Board meet-ing Tuesday, State Rep. Norma Smith asked staff and school board members about how the district react-

ed to the tragedy. “It has made an emo-

tional impact on our staff and our parents and kids too,” Schulte said during the meeting.

Smith was meeting with school district officials Tuesday to discuss legisla-tive priorities.

Once news of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy broke, Schulte said staff was encouraged to keep televisions off, especially in the younger grades because they didn’t

want thousands of students impacted without their par-ents involved.

The staff of each school held meetings to review lockdown procedures and a letter was sent to parents Monday outlining the safety precautions that take place in Oak Harbor schools.

“Like all schools through-out Washington state, we conduct safety drills monthly, to prepare our children and staff to react appropriately to any threat,” Schulte said in a letter sent

to parents this week. “We do lockdowns for outside threats; lockdowns for inside threats; safety drills for earthquakes and for fires.”

He added in the letter that schools have gone into emergency lockdown sev-eral times at the request of the police.

Those incidents were never a direct threat to schools, but something going on in nearby neigh-borhoods.

The biggest security fea-

ture Schulte highlighted during the meeting is the community, who should report any concerns in advance.

School staff will continue reviewing security proce-dures.

School officials are going to meet with law enforce-ment leaders next month and school security will be discussed.

Schulte highlighted the recent Oak Harbor High School remodel that improved security by reduc-

ing the number of entrances into schools.

Prior to the remodel, the school had between 75 and 80 entrances.

After construction, the school has one main entry while others around cam-pus were either locked from the outside or secured with gates and fences.

The school district also has a school resource offi-cer, an Oak Harbor police officer funded by the city, stationed at the high school.

Island County’s animal control officer tracked down a man who abandoned two aggressive dogs that attacked hikers last week at Fort Ebey State Park on Whidbey.

Carol Barnes finally was able to catch the dogs last Saturday after a full-scale dog hunt in the West Beach neighborhood.

Barnes was joined by park rangers, deputies, the sheriff and a specialist from the USDA Wildlife Services in the search.

Barnes said a tip from a family member led to the Oak Harbor resident who admitted to abandoning the mutts.

She said she plans to file animal cruelty and possibly other charges against the man.

According to Barnes, the man and his fiancee said they felt they had to get rid of the dogs because they were aggressive and they

were worried about the safety of their baby. The German shepherd/pitbull mixes are litter mates.

The dogs attacked a senior citizen who lived next door to them prior to being abandoned.

Barnes said they were on leashes, but pulled away and bit the man several times.

In addition, the male dog had injured the couple’s newborn by placing his paw on the baby’s chest in a dominance display, causing bruising and other injuries.

The man told animal con-trol that he had planned to have the dogs euthanized, but couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Instead, the couple loaded up the dogs into a vehicle, drove to Fort Ebey State Park and left them and a bag full of Purina dog food just before midnight on Monday, Dec. 10.

“He said he peeled out of the parking lot and didn’t look back,” Barnes said.

The next day, the dogs

To save a few dollars and avoid any possible conflicts of interest, Island County will hire the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office to address two recent lawsuits brought on by sheriff’s deputies.

The board of commis-sioners agreed at a weekly work session Wednesday to hire the office at a contract-ed rate of $120 per hour.

The decision was made at the request of Prosecutor Greg Banks.

Island County’s top law-yer believes hiring outside legal counsel is appropri-ate in this case because the challenges are being brought on by law enforce-ment officers that he works with on a regular basis.

Banks noted that the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office is particularly skilled in such matters, retaining a

specialized labor law unit, and that the contracted hourly rate was a bargain.

“It’s a great deal for getting outside counsel,” Banks said.

Comparatively, he said hourly rates for private firms are in the neighbor-hood of $300 and up.

The Island County Sheriff’s Guild filed a com-plaint against the county in Snohomish County Superior Court in November for

contempt, declaratory and injunctive relief and dam-ages.

The guild claimed the county blocked arbitration and violated the state’s Open Public Records Act.

A second suit was filed later that same month in Skagit County Superior Court for improperly with-held wages, declaratory judgment and permanent injunction.

Plaintif fs include the

guild and four deputies.Along with handling both

the lawsuits, Kitsap attor-neys will also represent the county with interest arbitra-tion for the guild’s contract.

According to Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow, the money to pay for the contract will have to come out of the county’s fund balance, a pot of money used to cover unexpected and unavoid-able expenses.

Other than budgetary questions, the issue saw little comment from board members.

Commissioner Angie Homola did say, however, that she believed hiring the Kitsap team was a good solution but that she was “sorry we’re here to begin with.”

“I’d rather spend the money on staff than on silly things like this,” Homola said.

attacked two hikers on a trail in the park, prompting park rangers to close the area.

One of the hikers had to get stitches for a bite wound.

The dogs were also aggressive

toward park rangers.Barnes said there was no indication

that the dogs had been mistreated before they were abandoned, though the owner admitted he never provided them with training.

“They are very reactive and very unpredictable,” she said.

The dogs were released to the owner this week. Barnes said he has chosen to have them euthanized.

About 50 residents, trans-portation officials and com-munity leaders discussed options being considered to alter several intersections on Highway 20 between Island Transit’s headquarters and Outlying Field.

The Washington State Department of Transportation came up with a list of eight options to alter the intersections around Old Smith Prairie, Parker and Morris roads, which is also the area Island Transit wants to place a secondary access to its new headquarters that is currently under construc-tion. The options stem from concerns residents had about Island Transit’s plans to alter the intersections in the area to make room for a second-ary access. Residents were concerned the alterations would make the area more hazardous for drivers.

“I’m pretty sure the high-way department has lis-tened,” Bob Clay, Coupeville town councilman and Island Transit board member, said. He recognized the difficulty in coming up with a plan that meets everybody’s needs.

From January 2005 to April 2012, 42 collisions have taken place on Highway 20 from Jacobs Road to Morris Road. Of that amount, 11 accidents have happened at Morris Road and two at Old Smith Prairie Road.

The Dec. 13 presentation is a followup from a meeting that took place in August.

Transportation officials organized the meeting to get comments from residents about the options being considered. Transportation officials noted that funding isn’t available to complete the projects.

Those options include:• Re-align Parker Road

and add new left turn lanes on Highway 20 at Morris Road and the new Parker Road. Close the intersection at Old Smith Prairie Road and install Island Transit’s secondary access. Estimates range between $2 million and $2.9 million.

• Aligning Parker Road to Morris Road while closing the intersections of Parker and Old Smith Prairie roads and install left turn lanes while providing Island Transit secondary access. Estimates place the cost between $1.8 million and $2.6 million.

• Aligning Morris Road to Parker Road while closing the intersections at Morris and Old Smith Prairie roads and install left turn lanes while providing Island Transit’s secondary access. Estimates place the cost between $2 million to $2.9 million.

The first three options incorporate Island Transit’s need for a secondary access to its facility.

• Add a left turn lane at the existing Island Transit entrance on Highway 20. Safety improvements at the Morris and Parker roads intersection would still have to move forward and doesn’t address Island Transit’s need for a secondary access. Costs for the option ranges from $1.4 million to $2 million, but doesn’t include the costs for improvements at Parker and Morris roads.

Todd Harrison, assistant regional administrator for the department of transportation, also presented four additional options that he described as low on the feasibility scale.

Two of those options con-sidered purchasing the pri-vate Plum Creek Road and establishing a right of way through the transfer station. However, county officials

wouldn’t want traffic going through the facility, the department of transporta-tion would have to contend with conservation easements and it doesn’t address Island Transit’s needs.

Harrison said the costs concerning the Plum Creek Road options were unknown.

The department of trans-portation showed two options for roundabouts, but those were costly and still didn’t meet Island Transit’s need

for a secondary access. Thursday’s meeting

stemmed from the transit agency’s original plan to install a secondary access, close the intersections of Old Smith Prairie and Morris roads and install a new inter-section between the two. A public meeting concerning the area last took place in August.

Martha Rose, executive director for Island Transit, said the secondary access is

a requirement for the occu-pancy permit.

The Department of Transportation originally had funding to install left turn lanes from Highway 20 to the county’s solid waste transfer station, which is a higher pri-ority project.

However, the department of transportation was able to obtain an additional $1.5 million to address problems at the intersections near Outlying Field.

Sign rules in Island County that have been a headache for the business community for years got an overhaul this week.

Following a public hearing in Coupeville Tuesday, the Island County Commissioners adopted changes to the existing reg-ulations in a split 2-1 vote. The decision wrapped up a revision effort that began with the planning commis-sion early this year.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who is also chairwoman of the board, recognized that this had been a busy year for both the advisory group and county planning staff and congratulated them on their efforts.

“I’ve been hearing from businesses across the island about the need for cleaning this up,” she said.

Although the hearing was sparsely attended, with just three or four members of the public in the audi-ence, planning department

officials gave an overview of the revised regulations before their adoption by the board.

According to Senior Planner Brad Johnson, most of the changes were not nec-essarily sweeping but did go a long way toward making the rules more understand-able for the business com-munity.

“A lot of them were not really substantive so much as just reorganizing the code and clearing up some of the discrepancies,” Johnson said.

Planners created an easy-to-read table that contains all the maximum sizes and height restrictions for vari-ous industries — based on type and zoning location — while also overhauling a section of definitions.

Greater opportunity for signage was created for small businesses and pro-visions were created that allow directional signs for agricultural-based com-panies or organizations, Johnson said.

Also, rules that regu-late signage for Camano

Gateway Village were adopt-ed for Freeland.

That was at the request of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce, which objected to the plan-ning commission’s first draft of the rule changes.

Director Chet Ross was not at the meeting but he said in a later inter-view that the rules for gateway village would suffice until permanent and bet-ter fitting regula-tions for Freeland could be adopted in the future.

“We’re satisfied with this as a starting point,” Ross said.

During the meeting, Planning Director Bob

Pederson told the board that much effort had been spent to address all of the most

common public concerns, from the code’s lack of clarity to issues with height and size.

“We really tried to drill down on any issues that have come up over the years,” Pederson said.

Although Price Johnson and Commiss ioner Angie Homola made it clear they supported the rule chang-

es, Commissioner Kelly Emerson said she believed more work needed to be done.

She said the rules still

lacked the “flexibility” desired by the business com-munity and suggested the whole package be sent back to the planning commission for additional review.

Emerson’s request saw little support from her fel-low board members.

Price Johnson said it had already been through the process once and doing it again would mean a signifi-cant delay.

She did, however, say it’s not too late to make chang-es now and asked Emerson several times what amend-ments she would like to see added.

“If you can’t be specific, I’m not sure I can address your concern,” Price Johnson said.

Emerson said she could not do so, maintaining that she had voiced those con-cerns at past board meet-ings and that it would be “redundant” of her to do it again.

“I would have to go back to all of my notes from work sessions to be specific and I don’t have to offer you that now,” Emerson said.

Later, just before the vote was taken, she said one of her concerns focused on a section of the rules that per-tained to political signs.

She said she worried it left the county vulnerable to a lawsuit, adding the code was littered with “arbitrary and capricious” language.

“I’m convinced this has potential to leave us in legal jeopardy,” Emerson said.

Price Johnson took a different position, calling the revisions long sought “substantive changes” and a “major step forward” that were “greatly appreciated” by business owners.

She also noted that the proposed rules had been reviewed by the county’s legal department, twice.

Likewise, Homola also called the changes “substan-tial,” saying the proposed code reflected changes requested from a broad cross section of the busi-ness community.

She congratulated county staff on a job well done.

“I appreciate the work; thank you for keeping in on the table,” she said.

es across the island about the need for cleaning this up.”

enced true Christmas spirit while standing in line holding wrapped packages to mail at the post office.

First, a young woman took my packages and moved them along the table to where I could stand and wait to be helped.

When I remembered I had another package in the car, she watched over them, and then carried them up to the polite and attentive post office employee.

What a pleasant experience, in spite of the long line and wait. Yes, there is peace on earth and good will toward men in Oak Harbor.

Merry Christmas to all!

ViolenceNeed�to�do�something�about�gun�control

Editor,As I listen to yet another description of an American

school shooting, I am awestruck that the country I love and live in is unable to appreciate the fact that our “gun culture”

is making us the industrialized nation most victimized by gun violence in the world.

Equally puzzling is our inability to realize that an amend-ment to our constitution written in far different times is of little or no relevance to today’s society and needs extensive revision to make it applicable.

There are two main arguments used by gun advocates to justify the presence of so many deadly weapons in the hands of questionably qualified citizens:

1. Everyone should have the right to protect their fami-lies and property with a firearm.

This is a no-win situation since in order for a gun to be effective deterrence it must be loaded and available — an indefensible risk to children and any other residents of the house.

To increase safety the gun must be locked in a secret location separated from any ammunition making it useless as protection.

2. If everyone carried concealed weapons, innocents would be protected and the bad guys wouldn’t know who was safe to attack.

This patently ridculous attitude means that whenever any yahoo on his or her way home feels threatened or dis-respected we could have the “gunfight at the OK Corral” with inexcusable collateral injuries.

It seems clearly intuitive that fewer guns and bullets and more restrictive access to these deadly materials would decrease this inexcusable danger to innocent Americans.

Hopefully the atrocity in Connecticut will finally awaken my fellow citizens and their leadership to do something definitive to correct this situation.

OLF

Move�if�you�don’t�like�sound�of�freedom

Editor,I read with much frustration the article concerning the

petition to close the OLF south of Coupeville. I am always amazed at the folks who visit the island,

love it here, move here and then try to change it. When I built my home in 1984 one mile east of the OLF,

I knew I was in the noise zone.I accepted that fact as a condition of realizing my

dream of owning my own home on five acres on beautiful Whidbey Island.

For me it was a small price to pay for the freedoms I enjoy.

Most of you folks that sign that petition had that same freedom to purchase or not to purchase, build or not build your home in the noise zone.

I know you have to sign a noise disclosure form when you buy property in that area stating that you are fully aware of the noise issues.

I’m sorry that things didn’t turn out the way you thought they would, but I totally agree with Marilyn Engle, enough is enough.

If the sound of freedom is too much, move.

Diana (DeDee) Ross

DeDee went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ November 15 2012, after a lengthly battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving husband Bob and their chil-dren.

DeDee was born April 24, 1945 in Vallejo, Calif. and was put up for adoption along with her twin brother Richard. Their adopting par-ents Richard and Barbara Benofsky, raised the twins in Lafayette, Calif. DeDee met Bob, her future hus-band in 1960 and they were married August 10, 1964. They had three daughters and one son in California. They moved to Whidbey Island in 1972. There they raised their four children in Langley and attended the Langley Christian Missionary Alliance church. In 1978 DeDee started work-ing for the preschool at the church, and in 1991 became the director of the school, retiring in 2005. One of her greatest joys was serving the Lord through teaching the children for 29 years.

When her husband retired in 2006, the next 6 1/2 years were spent just enjoying being together, going to town, traveling and being with their children and nine grandchildren. DeDee was preceded in

death by both her parents and by her oldest daughter Sondra, Sondra’s husband Phil and her two daughters Elise, 11 and Marissa, 9 who were all killed in their private airplane crash in Oregon in 2003.

Survivors include her lov-ing husband Bob of 48 years, their three children Chrissy O’Keefe, Debbie Hughes (Forrest) and Steve Ross, their grandchildren Leah (Hughes) Parker (Justin), Kramer, Kendra and Gavin O’Keefe, Mitchell, Janae and Jared Hughes and Levi and Tayla Ross.

A memorial service in cele-bration of DeDee’s life will be held at “The Island Church of Whidbey” (C&MA) 2 p.m. on December 29. Memorial donations can be made in honor of DeDee to the Island Church of Whidbey Preschool at 6th and Cascade, Langley Wa. 98260.

Births

from the Navy. Not only has Nathan had to adjust to stay-ing with a new family (even though he knows them well), but to a new school as well, all without his mom.

Consolver said Nathan has done well, considering.

“He’s a good kid, but you can tell it’s been hard on him,” Consolver said. “He’s been missing his mom, this week in particular.”

“Things like this make you really appreciate the bonds

between parents and chil-dren,” said Principal Joyce Swanson. “And it helps you realize what families miss when a parent is deployed.”

Over half the students at Broadview are connected to the Navy. The school tries to do different things through-out the year to help celebrate and recognize those connec-tions, Swanson said.

In the meantime, at least one Broadview student is happy with his early gift.

“It’s an awesome sur-prise,” Nathan said.

“You get me for the next two weeks,” she told him. “I’ve missed you so, so much!”

Before she deployed, Arteaga said she and Nathan celebrated all the special occasions she was going to miss at one time. Now, how-ever, due to the change in the schedule, the Eisenhower will deploy again in February for another six months.

“This was supposed to be my last deployment,” she said. “Just one more now.”

While she may be a little disappointed she’ll have to go to sea for another six months, Arteaga said her Christmas surprise was everything she’d hoped for.

“Most definitely — and then some,” she said.

had to keep the secret just a little longer.

Her friends arranged the homecoming surprise at Christmas Village.

“It just got better and bet-ter and better from there,” she said. “We’re lucky to have friends and family who love us so much.”

As the train pulled up in front of Santa’s and Mrs. Claus’ tent, the kids rushed to sit on their laps.

As Santa asked them what

they want for Christmas, Kaden and Delilah said they’d like their dad to come home.

Santa wasted no time granting their wish as Frosty stepped forward and took off his mask.

The kids’ faces lit up as they rushed to their dad for hugs, smiles never leav-ing their faces even as their eyes filled with tears.

“It was really awesome!” Kylie said after the fam-ily took a group photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus. When asked if she’d missed her dad while he was deployed, Kylie jumped up and down,

nodding.Smiling, Desire described

the homecoming as “amaz-ing.”

“I’m blessed,” she said. “It’s a lot of work without him home.”

“It’s nice,” Keenan said of coming home early. “It’s a good feeling since we weren’t supposed to be home for awhile.”

With plans to stay home and enjoy time as a fam-ily over the holidays, the Elsens started their holiday celebration by enjoying the animals, cookies and festive atmosphere of Christmas Village together.

SurpriSeCONTINUED FROM A1

By JIM LARSENStaff reporter

Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick announced earlier today he is keeping his posi-tion despite a guilty plea to a gross misdemeanor that resulted in a 15-day jail sen-tence starting in February.

Now, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks is try-ing to force Kwarsick to step down.

He announced Thursday at approximately 4:45 p.m. that he has filed a lawsuit against Kwarsick, claiming he failed to step down from two public offices, as mayor of Langley

as well as Coupeville’s town planner.

Banks told the News-Times that he doubts Kwarsick has been served yet with the papers. Kwarsick left town before a city council meeting Tuesday for a family vacation. The city’s receptionist said Wednesday he would be back “in a couple of days.”

Banks’ lawsuit action came only hours after Kwarsick sent a short email to the News-Times which inquired about his plans. The inquiry followed Tuesday’s council meeting in which the five council mem-bers and the large majority of

the audience supported keep-ing Kwarsick in office.

“I am humbled by the sup-port I have received from people in the community, the staff at city hall, and the coun-cil,” Kwarsick wrote. “I plan to continue to serve the city of Langley as mayor.”

Banks, speaking by phone late Tuesday, said, “I am disap-pointed in the mayor and the council. The council is saying they believe it’s OK (to break the law) if he’s popular.”

In fact, Banks said, Kwarsick admitted to a gross misde-meanor regarding wetland permit papers he changed to

benefit a relative.The prosecutor wrote,

“Today I initiated a Quo Warranto proceeding in Superior Court to enforce Washington’s law that requires a person convicted of malfea-sance in office to forfeit public office and be forever barred from holding public office.”

Kwarsick pleaded guilty to charges Monday in a plea bar-gain. Judge Vickie Churchill tacked on 15 days in jail, say-ing he violated the public trust.

Resigning from office was part of the plea bargain, Banks said.

“The unmistakable under-standing was that Mr. Kwarsick would comply with the law and resign from his public offices,” Banks wrote. “He should have resigned immediately after the plea. It has been three days, and he has not resigned. He is no longer eligible to hold either post.”

Banks said that once served with the lawsuit papers, Kwarsick will have 20 days to respond.

Can Kwarsick serve as mayor until the lawsuit is settled?

“I don’t think he can law-fully,” Banks said. “But I can’t

go down there and put locks on the doors.”

Kwarsick’s support among city council members was also getting shaky Thursday afternoon. Councilman Jim Sundberg, who spoke in court Monday asking for a lighter sentence for Kwarsick, changed his tune in a call to the News-Times Thursday afternoon.

“My position is I’ve reread the RCWs and ordinances and he cannot remain as mayor,” Sundberg said. He indicated at least one other council member may now share his opinion.

Whidbey Games of the week The Coupeville basketball teams host Orcas Island today; the boys play at 3:30 p.m., the girls at 5:30.

Crowning an outstand-ing week by winning the Anacortes Duals Tournament title Thursday, the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team picked up six wins.

The Wildcats began the week by sweeping the Shoreline schools in a dou-ble dual meet at Marysville Getchell Tuesday, thumping Shorewood (4-2-1) 56-18 and Shorecrest (2-5) 51-24.

At Anacortes, Oak Harbor breezed through its pool with wins over South Whidbey (60-18), La Conner (65-18) and Anacortes (57-24) before defeating Mount Vernon 51-24 in the championship of the eight-team tournament.

In the double dual, seven wrestlers won twice: Jeremy Vester (126 pounds; 17-5; pin, 5:19), Jahleel Vester (132; 7-1; pin, 3:07), Jacob Fitzgerald (138; 4-2; pin, 5:59), Mark Johnston (145; pin, 3:09; 8-4), Joshua Crebbin (160; pin, 1:23; forfeit), CJ Shavers (170; 17-4; pin, :49) and Jon Laningham (182; pin, 5:04; forfeit).

Also snaring wins against Shorewood were Garrett Stahl (106; forfeit), Christian Bertram (113; pin, 1:31),

Desiree Dillaman (120; for-feit) and Jacob Dugin (220; pin, :47).

Adding wins against Shorecrest were Mason Dieter (152; forfeit) and Jeremy Alonzo (195; pin, 1:34).

At Anacortes, three Wildcats won all four of their matches, with Johnston (145/152 pounds) and Crebbin (160/170) record-ing four pins each; Shavers (160/170) collected three pins and a decision. Two others were undefeated but had the help of forfeits. Cody Fakkema (132/138) won twice and picked up two forfeits while Bertram (113) won once and received three forfeits.

Coach Mike Crebbin liked his team’s performance, but is concerned about its depth, especially in the upper weights which have been thinned by injuries.

The Wildcats are off until Jan. 5 and the rest should help some of the Wildcats heal, Crebbin said.

Wrestlers win bigBy JIM WALLERSports editor

Two different offensive methods reached the same result as the Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team won twice this week.

The Wildcats used bal-anced scoring -- five players in double figures -- to defeat visiting Marysville-Pilchuck 77-53, then turned to the hot hand -- Drew Washington’s 35 points -- to dump host Marysville Getchell 76-59 Thursday.

The two wins put Oak Harbor in second place in the Wesco North after the first round with a 3-1 record (4-2 overall).

One constant in the two wins was Chris Hailer who recorded a double-double in each game. The senior had 10 points and 10 rebounds against Marysville-Pilchuck and 11 points and 13 rebounds against Getchell.

In the win over M-P, Dyllan Harris scored 16 points, JoJo Webster 15, Dayne Herron 14 and Washington 10 to go along with Hailer’s 10. Cortez Ridley and Gabe Groeing had five points each

and Anfrenee Angkaw two.In addition to setting

a career high in points, freshman Harris added six rebounds and three steals. Webster had an outstand-ing all-around game with six steals, six rebounds and five assists.

Oak Harbor never trailed in the game and led 14-8, 37-23 and 60-35 at the quar-ters.

In the win at Marysville Getchell, Washington, who fittingly wears jersey No. 3, drilled nine 3-pointers, believed to be a new school record according to coach Mike Washington. Drew Washington hit eight threes in a game last season.

Herron had 11 points and six boards, Webster scored eight points, Groeing six and Harris five.

The Wildcats zipped to a 10-0 lead and led 23-12 at the quarter and 38-29 at the half.

The Chargers cut the lead to four in the third quarter but couldn’t take control.

While this was Drew Washington’s game, coach Washington said he likes his team’s offensive depth and

“on any given night, we have several kids who can put up big numbers.”

Oak Harbor out rebound-ed the Chargers 45-23 and shot a blistering 55 percent (30-for-54) to MG’s 40 (25-for-62).

The Wildcats play in the

Bellevue College Holiday Tournament Dec. 27 to 29. They open with Kentwood (4-3) at 4:45 p.m. Thursday, then play the winner-loser of Bear Creek (3-3)-Monroe (2-5) Friday. The losers meet at 3 p.m. and the winners at 6:30.

oak harbor girls split pair in basketball

A pattern emerged this week as the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team split a pair of games.

In both games, the winner played well at the beginning, stum-bled in the middle and then recov-ered to grab the game. In the first, host Marysville-Pilchuck defeated Oak Harbor 62-48 Tuesday; in the second, the Wildcats stopped vis-iting Marysville Getchell 57-39.

Maryville-Pilchuck built a 20-5 lead, Oak Harbor cut the deficit to 32-30, then the Tomahawks pulled away.

Against Marysville Getchell, the Wildcats led 17-1 and 28-8, the Chargers moved to within three, 38-35, in the third quarter, then Oak Harbor finished the game on a 19-2 run.

Marysville-Pilchuck (1-2, 3-6) shot 38 percent (26-for-68), 10 percentage points better than Oak Harbor (17-for-61). The Toma-hawks pulled down 49 rebounds to Oak Harbor’s 35 and had a 19-9 advantage on the offensive glass.

Annie Leete scored 21 points, Ciera Wiser and Jalani Bobo had eight each, Kelsey Rankin seven, Deja Bunch two and Natalie Fiallos

two. Bobo added seven rebounds and Leete five steals.

Against Getchell (0-3, 2-7), Leete, who was playing sick, had 19 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and five steals. Bobo scored a career high 19 points and had seven rebounds and four steals. Wiser had 10 points and six rebounds, Rankin had five points and six rebounds, and Jinai Guz-man and Bunch scored two points each.

Coach Trisha Wieber said, “We finished well. The nice thing tonight – and the starters played well – was that the young kids held it together.”

Oak Harbor (1-3, 3-4) goes to the Bellingham tournament Thursday and Friday, Dec. 27 and 28. The Wildcats meet Bellingham (5-4) at 5:30 p.m. Thursday and Tahoma (4-4) at 2 p.m. Friday.

4th-quarter troubles haunt coupeville

Two poor fourth quarters led to two losses this week for the Coupeville High School girls bas-ketball team.

Outscoring Coupeville 13-7 down the stretch, host Sultan eked out a 30-27 win Tuesday, then host Friday Harbor shut the

Wolves out in the fourth quarter for a 34-23 win.

Against Sultan (2-2, 2-7), Bes-sie Walstad scored eight points, Makana Stone seven, Hailey Ham-mer four, Amanda Fabrizi four, Lauren Escalle two and Messner two. Stone had six rebounds and Messner five.

Coach David King said, “Over-all, we just didn’t come ready to play and go home with a win. We played hard, but our energy level wasn’t used at times in the right places. We are young and it showed in the game.”

The Friday Harbor game was close until the fourth period as the Wolverines (1-5) led 13-12, 18-15 and 24-23 at the quarters.

King said, “In the fourth we came out flat at both ends of the court and didn’t score a point.”

He added, “Defense wasn’t there like it was our first six games. And offensively we slowed things down and played passive basketball.”

Walstad and Hammer led the Wolves with seven points each. Stone scored four, Escalle three and Jai’Lysa Hoskins two.

Coupeville (3-5) entertains Orcas Island in a nonleague game at 5:30 p.m. today.

Wolves offensive woes continue

Still looking for some offense, the Coupeville boys basketball

team lost to visiting Sultan 52-16 Tuesday and host Friday Harbor 68-27 Thursday.

When discussing the Sultan game, Coupeville coach Anthony Smith did not have the official shooting statistics available and said, “We were 4-for-20 some-thing, or maybe 4-for-thirty some-thing.”

What ever the total, it wasn’t nearly good enough as the Wolves failed to score more than six points in a quarter.

After a decent start -- the two teams were tied at six after the first quarter -- things started to turn for the worse or the Wolves as the game progressed.

Smith called the game “frustrat-ing,” and added, “You have to take little victories.”

He cited the final quarter of the previous game with South Whid-bey and the first two against Sul-tan as positives: “We have to build on that and believe.”

Aaron Trumbull and Nick Streu-bel each scored six points for Coupeville; Caleb Valko had four.

Friday Harbor outscored the Wolves 30-6 in the second half to claim the non-conference win.

One positive, Smith said, was a more consistent half-court de-fense.

Friday Harbor (2-3) led 16-6, 33-21 and 48-24 at the quarters.

Ben Etzell scored a season high 11 points for the Wolves. Streubel, Trumbull and Valko scored four each, and Josh Wiley and Drew

Chan had two apiece.Coupeville (0-8) hosts Orcas Is-

land at 3:30 p.m. today in another nonleague contest.

Wildcat swimmers stop Lake Stevens

The Oak Harbor High School swim team put a bow on 2012 with a 93-77 win over Lake Ste-vens at John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool Wednesday.

The Wildcats won eight of the 11 events and received a pair of in-dividual wins from Josh Jepsen and Kevin Levy.

Jepson took the 200-meter in-dividual medley (2:15.36) and 100 butterfly (1:00.61), while Levy cap-tured the 50 (25.9) and 100 frees (1:00.38).

The pair also swam on two win-ning relays, joining Toren Wood and Caley Powers in the 200 medley (1:56.38) and Powers and Cedric Cabigting in the 200 free (1:46.82).

Cabigting grabbed an indi-vidual win in the 100 backstroke (1:07.67), and Joe Gorman finished first in the 200 free (2:18.23).

Coach Alex Thierry said, “Last night was a great meet. I had some swimmers swim some events they do not normally swim just to see where our depth really is.”

The Wildcats (4-1) are now off until Monday, Jan. 7, when they host Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell at 6 p.m.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

Each week my husband and I meet with a group of friends with whom we also attend worship services on Sunday. We meet in each oth-ers’ homes. We socialize and snack. We study the Bible, discuss social issues and pray together. We have become a close-knit, loving group of friends who celebrate our joys and draw near one another when we’re hurting.

This week we sought solace in each other and as a group turned to our faith while discussing the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. One couple has a granddaughter who is 6. My husband and I have a

26-year-old daughter who is a third-grade teacher. This trag-edy has hit home. We join a nation

in mourning. And like one husband admitted: That old 9-11 feeling is back. We are grieving deeply again.

And it’s Christmas time. In response, most of us are

toning it down and dialing it back. We are moderating TV

coverage of the event and focusing on our most basic beliefs. We’re lighting our advent candles and reading scripture to remind ourselves of who the baby in a manger became: the most significant man in history. Because of Jesus, history is divided into B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (in the year of our Lord). Every historical event on every calendar worldwide is dated by how many years it has been since Jesus Christ appeared on earth.

And so our group and millions like us are re-exam-ining what we are told about Jesus. We are reconnecting with Jesus Christ — our

source of hope, forgiveness, strength and comfort. We are approaching the very One who days ago lovingly led heroic teachers and precious children to an eternal life that will peacefully continue way beyond this world.

We are also moving our focus away from ourselves and over to those in need, giv-ing a piece of ourselves away for their benefit.

I’m struck by the fact that I recall very few past Christmas gifts, but vividly recall past Christmas adventures with friends and family. Our activi-ties have included watching movies together, playing board games and piecing puz-

zles, investigating art galleries and used book stores, walk-ing windswept beaches with our pets, baking cookies and sharing them with friends, declaring it “Soup Day!” and spending the afternoon chop-ping and stirring while the bread machine whirs and churns.

This requires additional planning and adjusting an already busy schedule. Increasing our giving to benefit someone we may or may not know. Giving with a selfless attitude, asking for no reward or attention but antici-pating the personal gifts of joy and contentment when we do. With some prayer, Scripture

promises that God will guide our efforts and gift us with eternal insight and hope, peace and cheer -— things we long for this Christmas.

There are elderly residents in our nursing home commu-nities who will go without visi-tors this Christmas. Parents who fear they will have little or nothing to give their children, much less special ingredients to bake cookies or prepare special foods for a Christmas meal. Mr. Rogers told us what to do in times of crisis: look for the helpers. I suggest we become those helpers. The path to some peace this Christmas is laid out before us.

Reconnecting with others, Jesus to seek insight during troubling timesFAITHFUL LIVINGBy Joan Bay Klope

By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

W hen most 8-year-olds write letters to Santa, Jolly Old Saint Nick probably expects

to see a number of requests for video games, bicycles, dolls or a new puppy. But from second-grade and kindergarten classes at Olympic View Elementary, Santa will receive a pleasant sur-prise — and so will the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Coupeville third-grader Jonathan Carroll asked Whidbey residents to help him generate 1,000 letters to Santa. The letters will be sent to Macy’s, which pledged to donate $1 per letter to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses.

“It helps them to think about ways to contribute to make the world a better place rather than

asking for things,” said second-grade teacher Regina Ward.

Second-grade student and excit-ed birthday girl Summer Aplass explained the project in her own words: “It’s stuff that can really happen, what you can do to really help people for Christmas.”

Ward’s class was joined by Lori Sandberg’s second-grade class as they shared their wishes this week before sending off the letters.

“I believe I can make the world better,” each group of students said as they stood in front of the class before reading their letters to Santa aloud. They showed their let-ters on a

projector so the entire class could see their colorful Christmas draw-ings.

“I hope I can help the commu-nity,” Aplass said, reading from her letter. “By making the world a

better place, I can help people learn math and ride horses.”

“I believe I can make the world better by helping one another,” Lindsey Latta said.

“I believe I can make the world better by being kind to others,” Alaina Jones read from her letter.

“I believe I will make the world better by saying good things to people,” Nora Brewster said.

Other students said they will make the world better by picking up trash, helping others learn and helping kids.

“I think Santa will be so impressed with your letters,” Ward told the students after they shared. “So not only are we making the world better but we’re helping a company that helps kids, so that’s awesome.”

Below are examples of the stu-dents’ letters.

Students’ letters to Santa seek to make the world a better place

Dear�Santa“I believe that I can

make the world better if I don’t litter or break stuff. Also I can use less stuff. I could give people smiles, respect and help.”

–Nicholas Lee

Dear�Santa“I believe that I can

make the world a better place if I will help animals and be kind to others. I will raise money for charities to help kids. I promise to do these things to show what I believe.”

–Lydia Fisher

Dear�Santa“I promise to be

respectful to my parents, and also to Mrs. Sandberg.”

The weather outside was a little frightful, but the mood was festive inside the Oak Harbor Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 Wednesday. It was the VFW’s annual Christmas party

for senior citizens, who came out in force to enjoy a buffet lunch of ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, salad and dessert. Even Old St. Nick put in an appearance, passing out gifts to all

who attended, as well as more than a few hugs. Here, Belle Evans gets a squeeze from Santa Claus as Sugar Plum the elf looks on.
