Oak Harbor NJROTC teams heading to national competitionBy JIM WALLERSports editor

Oak Harbor High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp competitive teams are a perennial regional power,

but now the Wildcats are aiming to suc-ceed at the national level.

Oak Harbor will sent its orien-teering team to the Navy National Championships Feb. 14-15 in Agua Dulce, Calif., and its rifle team to Western Regional Finals Feb. 20-21 in Phoenix, Ariz.

Orienteering is basically a cross country race with a map and check points.

The course generally covers three to five kilometers, and competitors are given a topographical map to use to find control points.

Oak Harbor senior Caleb Peek said that participants don’t necessarily have to run to win, but going straight, even if walking, is the most efficient.

The Wildcats began competing in orienteering in 2006 and are led this year by first-year coach Marc deLeuze.

Oak Harbor NJROTC instructors, Commander Mike Black and Chief Bill Thiel, brought deLeuze aboard to help revitalize the team.

“Bill and Mike were getting over-whelmed,” deLeuze said, “and were looking to find a different coach or drop the program.”

Twenty years with the Seabees and 10 with Scouts helped deLeuze develop his map and compass skills.

“In the military, you are all stealth and sneaky — you don’t want to get caught,” he said. “This is like a bull running through the woods — ‘I don’t care if you see me, I just want to be first.’ ”

This year’s team has won four of the six Washington Interscholastic Orienteering League matches this sea-son and is led by Peek, who has four individual firsts.

Peek has been so dominant this year, the Cascade Orienteering Club has asked him to represent the

AIMING TO WIN

By MICHELLE BEAHMStaff reporter

There are a few degrees of separation between com-petitive and recreational swimmers at Oak Harbor’s John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

The warmly debated issue of pool water temperature was finally resolved recently during the Jan. 22 North Whidbey Park and Recreation board meeting.

Recreational swimmers who want the water kept a little warmer won the debate with the district’s board approving a motion to keep the pool at 82 degrees, though conceding technical issues may cause unin-tended fluctuations.

The issue bubbled to the surface more than a year ago

A portion of a lawsuit brought against Island County by a former commissioner and her husband is moving toward a jury trial.

Last month, a judge in King County Superior Court threw out four of five claims that Kelly Emerson, the for-mer commissioner, and her husband, Kenneth Emerson, raised in their law-suit.

Judge Kimberly Prochnau ruled that a breach of contract claim is the single issue that can move forward to a trial scheduled for a month from now.

This is the second lawsuit filed by the Emersons against Island County in connection with a construction project in the backyard of their Camano Island home. The Emersons started work on a sun room project without first obtaining the necessary

As the state combines mental health and chemical dependency services, small counties like Island County are doing some creative jockeying to remain at the table.

“Small counties have to be diligent or we will get left in the cold,” said Jackie Henderson, Island County’s director of human services.

Island County has the advantage of being part of North Sound Behavioral Health during this integra-tion process, which began with a state task force early last year.

The task force rec-ommended that simi-lar Behavioral Health Organizations, or BHOs, be instated statewide by next year, which would replace already established groups like North Sound Behavioral Health.

This is to Island County’s advantage.

A county or health orga-nization needs to have about 60,000 Medicaid eli-gible residents to ensure the programs are properly funded.

Island County had only 12,021 Medicaid eligible residents in November 2014 and Sea Mar, which contracts with the county

for chemical dependency counseling, serves only about 100 chemical depen-dency patients, according to numbers issued by the state.

“They will never make money in Island County (alone),” Henderson said, without the assistance of partner counties. Under the umbrella of the BHO — which will continue to include Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties — the grouping contains 213,708 Medicaid eligibles.

This makes the North Sound BHO the second-largest in the state next to King County’s 339,005 Medicare eligibles.

This, Henderson said, will help give Island County the voice it needs to fight for necessary services.

Not all counties are so lucky.

At the end of 2014, the Chelan, Douglas, Lewis, Pacific, Wahkiakum and Grays Harbor counties all fell well below the 60,000 requirement within their existing Regional Support Networks, according to state figures.

Island County is slight-ly ahead of the game in that it already has regional relationships, according to Commissioner Jill Johnson,

who serves on the North Sound Behavioral Health board.

The real issue for the county is whether services can be provided and main-tained under the new para-digm in smaller communi-ties.

“Do we have a model that will deliver services in remote or rural areas?” Johnson asked. “It’s going to come down to how the BHO chooses to invest its money.”

“There are lot of unknowns.”

The state’s goal is to combine mental health and chemical dependency ser-vices by April 2016 and then further combine that with the state’s Medicaid-funded physical health program by 2020.

Under the new system, all mental, physical and chemi-cal dependency health programs will be paid for through new fee-for-service Medicaid programs.

Currently, the three ser-vices are billed under dif-ferent umbrellas and the move is intended to create efficiency and cost savings, Henderson said.

Throughout this process, Henderson said, the state is “looking at the health sys-tem and seeing how it can be improved.”

Delivering Valentine “WOW”for over 60 years!

By JANIS REIDStaff reporter

A South Whidbey homeowner is taking the county to task for an incorrect charge of $6,125 in property taxes.

“I expect an apology and my money back with interest,” said retired teacher William Goetz.

The taxes are owed by the previous owner of Goetz’s Freeland-area property, but it appears the negative balance has remained with the prop-erty, according to Island County Treasurer Wanda Grone.

Oddly, Goetz said, the balance never surfaced when he purchased his house in 2011 or when he refinanced in 2013.

Grone, who won the November election against Ana Maria Nuñez, took office Jan. 1. Grone said that while she inher-ited the mistake, she is working with Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks to see how they can fix it. Banks confirmed via email Thursday that he is aware of the claim.

“We are researching the facts and the law,” he said. “We want to help every-one resolve it according to what state law requires as quickly as possible.”

Grone said that accord-ing to her understanding of the statute, if the previ-ous owner is unable to pay the bill, it follows the new owner.

Goetz is one of five or so

homeowners in the same situation as a result of the backlog of tax supple-ments that were brought up to date late last year, according to Grone.

A bill was mailed to the previous owner but was returned, and Grone opined that his mortgage company did a routine check on tax records and saw the outstanding bill.

So, according to Grone, the error lies at the feet of Goetz’s mortgage com-pany, which extracted the amount automatically from his account.

What happens now, Grone said, is between

him and his mortgage company.

Goetz disagreed, saying the county made two mis-takes, first by not accu-rately updating his prop-erty’s record and second by allowing this to happen to multiple people.

Goetz said he could be the “poster child” for how taxation can go horribly wrong.

“For crying out loud, how bad can it get?” Goetz said.

Dissatisfied with the answer he got from the treasurer’s office, Goetz reached out to Commissioner Helen

Price Johnson, who said she was as “astounded as he was that it happened.”

Price Johnson has little power to help, however, as the treasurer is an inde-pendently elected official and doesn’t answer to the board of commissioners.

“I would encourage her (Grone) to move as quickly as possible to find a solution,” Price Johnson said.

The problem is unique and is not something most people should be concerned with, Price Johnson said, but mea-sures should be taken so that it doesn’t occur again.

Battle Den offers place for gamers of all agesBy MICHELLE BEAHMStaff reporter

When Scot Acton started the Battle Den, he was look-ing to create a kid-friend-ly place for people to play tabletop, miniature and card games.

His interest in the world of fantasy gaming started when his son Bret was about 9 years old and he started playing Warhammer 40,000 with him.

“We had a really good time as he was growing up,” Acton said, “and it kind of brought us together a little bit.”

After traveling to various tournaments around the state, Action said he realized he could do better.

“We were going to a lot of the game stores around the state, and they were really crappy,” he said. “They just kind of were little cubby hole and stuff, so I thought, ‘I can do a better game store than that.’ ”

And he did.First opening in 2008 in

Bellingham, the Battle Den was “really decked out,” and “looked like the inside of a keep,” Acton said.

He even had a miniature version of Helm’s Deep set up in his store, the site of a major battle between the forces of good and evil in “The Two Towers,” part two of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

“Then like five minutes

later, the recession hit,” he said.

Due to lower profits and high rent, Acton left his Bellingham location and opened his Battle Den in Oak Harbor, where he became popular among Navy personnel.

Now located off Goldie Road near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the Battle Den’s popularity waxes and wanes.

“It kind of fluctuates,” Acton said. “I’ll get a bunch of guys in, then they’ll get deployed, and then I gotta start with a bunch of new guys.”

His store not only sells games, card decks and min-iatures, but also provides a place for people to play those games in tournaments and leagues.

With Magic: The Gathering being one of the most popular games, Acton said he hosts tournaments for it every Friday, when anyone with a deck can come and play. The cost of participating in the competi-tion for the winners’ prizes is only about $6.

“As long as you’ve got a standard deck or a type two deck … as long as your deck’s legal to play, you can come in,” he said. “And peo-ple that just want to come in and play, we don’t charge. They’re not eligible for priz-es, but they don’t have to pay.”

Acton said prizes are usu-ally gift cards, but occasion-ally he’ll offer merchandise from his store as a prize.

Aside from tournaments, there are also league com-petitions, which usually last for two months or more. Participants will do battles over the course of the league and will go up or down in the rankings based on those out-comes. They can also gain or lose rank based on their

painted miniatures.Miniature figurines are

another aspect of the Battle Den. Acton sells miniatures, which people can then put together and paint. He even offers classes to help people learn how to paint the min-iatures, or will do the paint-ing himself if the customer chooses to pay for it.

Acton said the best part of the Battle Den, for him, is being self-employed.

“I can be my own boss, which is my number one, so I can do what I want,” he said. “But I love play-ing. (Warhammer 40,000) is the game I enjoy playing the most, so I like teaching that.”

But the important thing is people get to go to his Battle Den, play games, have fun and be safe.

“It’s kind of a small little operation,” Acton said. “But it’s a lot of fun; a lot of peo-

ple have a lot of fun. The Navy guys really like the strategy stuff. We get some kids that come in and play. Everybody’s welcome.”

n Battle Den is located at 676 W. Oak St., Oak Harbor. It’s open 3-6 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday, and 12-9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. For more informa-tion, visit www.skagitbat tleden.com or call 360-391-1964.

A new Island Transit route is under consideration for South Whidbey.

During a community meet-ing held by IT last Thursday, officials unveiled Route 58, which would combine and condense the previously cut Route 5 and the reduced Route 8, and make small changes to routes 1 and 7.

Buses are proposed to begin operating on the route April 6, though IT officials said none of the changes will impact the heavily-relied

upon and highly ridden com-muter routes.

“We tried to not affect the commuter routes,” Island Transit Operations Manager Shawn Harris said.

Route 58 would run from near Holmes Harbor Golf Course, into Freeland, along East Harbor Road to Goss Lake Road, to the Bayview Cash Store, into Langley, along Maxwelton Road to Scatchet Head, then to Ken’s Korner in Clinton.

The combined route will not bring service back to the Honeymoon Lake, Baby

Island, Saratoga, Deer Lake or Bailey’s Corner areas. It is being considered for opera-tion during commuter times in the morning and evening, and would run concurrently with the commuter Route 8 Express.

Routes 1 and 7 will also see changes. Island Transit’s main service from Oak Harbor to Clinton. Route 1 buses will shift 30 minutes between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“We’re basically taking a run out,” Pinch said. “By doing that, it forces us to change the departing time at

15 (minutes) after every hour to 45 (after) every hour.”

IT has a few more South Whidbey community meet-ings to field questions about proposed changes.

Questions or comments may also be directed to 360-678-7771 or by emailing to [email protected]

The meetings are:n 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Feb.

Island Transit’s Route 1 is one several routes that will see changes in the coming months.

when representatives from both sides of the tempera-ture debate approached the board.

The debate mirrored ongoing tensions about the use of the pool — whether competitive or recreational swimming should have pri-ority.

As swim coach Dick Taylor explained last month, competition pools are usu-ally 79 or 80 degrees, which helps the competitive swim teams from overheating while swimming laps.

Two of the pool’s rec-reational patrons told the parks board that tempera-ture is too low.

“When it goes below 82, we’re not comfort-able in there,” said Evelyn Henrichsen.

Henrichsen said she has exercised at the pool since moving to Oak Harbor in 2000 and estimates that she visits the pool 250 days out of the year.

“I do water aerobics,” she said.

“I can’t lap swim. I can’t get out there and have that much energy to heat my body up.”

She said that over the years, she’s seen elderly people come to the pool for low-impact exercise per doctor’s orders but then abandon the efforts at the Oak Harbor pool before very long because it’s too cold.

“I think just a little bit warmer would help the problem considerably,” Henrichsen said. “A degree or two makes a big differ-ence.”

Sondra Keith said she agrees with Henrichsen, adding that recently she “got so cold, my teeth were chattering.”

“I’m using this instead of

a walker,” she added.“So, yes, I want this pool

heated enough.”Keith said she’s also con-

cerned about younger chil-dren who take swimming lessons at the pool.

“I would suggest a com-promise anywhere in the 82 to 83 degree area,” said interim director Erika Miller.

“I would say no more than 83, because I don’t want to clean up what hap-pens when those swimmers get overheated.”

Taylor said he was will-ing to compromise at 82 degrees, but will stay firmly on 82 degrees “to the day they put me in the grave.”

The board approved a motion to try to keep the temperature of the pool at 82 degrees, but there are two major factors that could affect the consistency of how comfortable people find it.

Fluctuating air tempera-ture greatly affects how people respond to the tem-perature, Miller said.

The colder it is outside, the lower the air tempera-ture inside the pool is, despite best efforts to regu-late it.

When air temperature drops, people will feel cold-er in the pool even if the pool temperature remains the same, Miller said.

Parks board Chairman Sean Merrill said that the computer the district uses to set the temperature and the pool’s heater doesn’t always communicate the way it’s supposed to, so the heater will warm up or cool down the pool despite the settings remaining the same.

“There are going to be days when the pool tem-perature does dip below 82,

and there also are going to be days when the ambient air temperature is going to play a factor,” Merrill said.

Board members said they’ll do their best to keep the pool temperature at 82 degrees and keep solid records of the temperature for the next month, after which they’ll revisit the issue.

OUR VIEWPOINT

Jet Noise

Visitor says noise was a distractionEditor,

I am a subscriber to the Vashon Beachcomber newspaper and, as a resi-dent of Vashon, I am also lucky enough to spend a portion of each week on Whidbey.

Your recent article of Jan. 31, 2015, regarding jet noise and the Navy’s intention to almost double flights that have an environmental impact on popu-lated areas reminded me of several times last year when I was woken up by jet noise in Greenbank. I was also reminded of coming to Coupeville on the ferry from Port Townsend into what sounded like an aerial war zone. I could not believe the level of noise and the low-flying planes. I was saddened to walk Ebey’s Landing and be distracted by the same noise level. I could only shake my head and leave the island.

Other residents of Coupeville may quietly harbor the same feeling that the quality of life will surely be impacted by the noted significant increase in train-ing flights. Who defines a “quality of life that is worth struggling for?” I, as a visitor, can “put up with it for a while.” If I lived there, I’d be concerned how the increased air training and loud noise would affect my property value, not to

mention my quality of life.Ed Holmes

Rabbit Wars

Eagles, raccoons can’t be blamed for deathsEditor,

I found the “Langley Rabbit Wars” story very interesting. In my veteri-nary practice, I deal with a number of wildlife issues, including predation of small pets.

I would like to address the com-ment by Chief Dave Marks concern-ing raccoon and eagle predation on pets. Bottom line: it is extremely rare. Coyotes are almost always the culprit. In my nearly 30 years of practice, I have seen one cat that was killed by a raccoon. I belong to a birding Listserv, Tweeters, which has over 2,000 nature-oriented members. I once put out the question, “Do any of you have first-hand knowledge of a bird of prey killing a cat or a small dog?” I received only five responses and they were all involv-ing great-horned owls, which killed a cat on the ground and attempted to eat it there.

But even this is extremely rare and I’ve never had a first-hand report from South Whidbey. A very large eagle, weighing only 13.5 pounds cannot get airborne carrying a normal sized

cat. So, that sacred South Whidbey myth about the eagle nest containing between 27-63 (depending on who tells the story) cat and dog collars on prop-erty owned by your second cousin’s ex-wife’s friend? It just isn’t true.

Super Bowl

Those who serve are ones we must respectEditor,

I find myself here on Super Bowl Sunday composing a letter to the editor while listening to the eight-plus hours of talking heads’ use of repetitive super-latives to describe the team members who will face each other on that field of play.

Some of the comments have even equated this to a field of battle rather than a sporting event on a field of play. This inspired a question that on this unofficial holiday of distraction from a more serious world that we inhabit, I did not in my wildest dreams expect to think of.

Why does a person wearing a helmet defending a football receive greater respect, attention and compensation for effort than a person wearing a helmet defending this country?

The resurrected debate over vaccinating our children is rapidly spreading like wildfire, both in the news and over the Internet in the wake of a measles outbreak that started at Disneyland.

In sum, the national Centers for Disease Control reports more than 100 cases of measles in January, most con-nected to the Disneyland case.

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus similar to influenza.

It's ludicrous that, in this day and age, there's any argu-ment at all that vaccinations are not only effective, but criti-cal to the health and well-being of our children.

Simply put, it is a social obligation to do everything in our power to prevent the spread of preventable diseases like measles.

By opting not to vaccinate your child, you create the risk of additional outbreaks of a potentially fatal illness.

How many different ways must scientists prove that vac-cinations do not cause conditions like autism?

In the decade before 1963, when a measles vaccine became available, nearly all children contracted measles by age 15, according to the CDC. It is estimated 3 million to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year. Also, each year an estimated 400-500 people died from the disease, 48,000 were hospitalized and 4,000 suf-fered encephalitis, the swelling of the brain.

According to the CDC, a single cough or sneeze will hurl the measles virus through the air in enormous viral-filled quantities. Once out of the host, the measles virus can linger on a surface for two hours. This rapidly spread-ing illness starts with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes and sore throat.

It is followed by a tell-tale rash that spread all over the body.

An estimated 90 percent of nearby people who aren't immune to the disease may also become infected.

The outbreak linked to Disneyland brought measles back into the public consciousness.

The CDC estimates three out of 10 people who get measles will develop further complications.

Measles is a serious disease, one that's preventable, and this recent outbreak must serve as a reminder that vacci-nating our children isn't an option, it's an obligation.

Vaccinating children is not about choice, it’s a societal obligation

360.675.6611

By JIM WALLERSports editor

With a little effort, Oak Harbor High School’s three heavyweight wrestlers could squeeze into a Volkswagen Beetle. But, no matter how big a shoehorn coach Peter Esvelt uses, he won’t be able to cram the trio into the post-season.

That’s a shame for Esvelt because he considers Jackson Constant, Tyler Adamson and Sam Zook to be among the state’s best 3A wrestlers in the 285-pound class. Each school, however, can enter only two in each weight division at the subre-gional tournament.

The subregional tourna-ment, the first step toward a state title, is 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, and 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, at Stanwood High School.

Oak Harbor and the five other Wesco 3A North schools will be joined by the Seamont League’s two 3A teams, Hazen and Kennedy Catholic, at subregional.

The top four finishers in each weight class will qual-ify for the regional tourna-ment Saturday, Feb. 14, at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

Constant, a 6-foot-2, 280-pound senior, has repre-sented Oak Harbor in most varsity matches this season and will take one of the allot-ted berths.

Adamson, a 6-5, 250-pound

senior, defeated Zook 3-2 in a wrestle-off Friday to earn the second slot.

Zook, a 6-foot-6, 265-pound sophomore, is the odd man out although he is ranked 12th in his division by the Washington Wrestling Report.

His competitive season is over but his contributions aren’t. Zook said his job now is to push Constant and Adamson in practice each day to make sure they “go all the way” to the state finals.

Constant, who took up wrestling as an eighth-grader,

has been ranked in the top 10 all season. He qualified for the past two state tourna-ments but has been haunted by bad luck.

An injury hampered one trip, then last year he wres-tled one match with strep throat and then was medi-cally disqualified.

His goal this year, he said, is to “reach the podium, to finish in the top three.”

Adamson began wrestling as a freshman, and the first two years “were a learning experience” as he backed up Constant.

Last year he honed his skills enough to compete among the best but finished fourth at subregional when only three advanced. This winter he has been consis-tently ranked among the top 15.

Having three outstanding wrestlers in the same weight class isn’t all bad. Each gives the other a strong practice partner to force improve-ment.

“I grew up with Tyler,” Constant said. “We have a bond we formed before high school, and it has helped, not

only in wrestling but other sports.

“We have wrestled togeth-er since our freshman year and help each other out. Outside of practice we will discuss what we need to work on.”

Zook is “really good at picking up on things we mess up on in matches,” Adamson said.

The trio’s talents go beyond the wrestling mat. They played side-by-side on Oak Harbor’s offensive line last fall. Adamson started at left tackle, Constant at left

guard and Zook at center.Constant would like to

continue wrestling in college, hoping to compete at Central Iowa.

Adamson, a three-time, all-Wesco first-team football player, hopes to play that sport at Eastern Washington University next season. He hasn’t received a formal scholarship offer from the school yet, but if that doesn’t work out, he has offers from a handful of Division III schools.

With graduation a few years off for Zook, he is not sure which sport he will pur-sue in college.

The Wildcat heavyweights aren’t the only Oak Harbor wrestlers expected to shine during the postseason.

Senior Jeremy Vester, ranked third at 138 pounds this season, finished fourth in the state last year at 132 after also qualifying his freshman and sophomore years.

Senior Mark Johnston, who has qualified for state three times, is looking to place this season. He is ranked eighth at 152 pounds.

Senior Christian Bertram, ranked third at 126 pounds, qualified for the past two Mat Classics.

On the girls side, junior Amber Cramsey-Behnke (235 pounds) is a two-time state qualifier and placed third in 2014. She will shoot to place again if she can make weight.

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

Even when it wasn’t her time to teach dance steps, Claudia Samano-Losada had trouble staying away from the Whidbey Playhouse over the past few months.

One of the choreographers working with the cast of “Monty Python’s Spamalot,” Samano-Losada enjoyed com-ing just to watch the silliness during rehearsals.

“To be honest, that is the only reason why I’m here more than I’m supposed to be because I need that laugh every day,” she said.

“Spamalot” opens Friday night, Feb. 6, at the play-house, bringing to Oak Harbor a zany musical com-edy that is an adaptation of the 1975 film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

Drawing inspiration from the movie that attracted a cult following, the musical comedy was wildly popular on Broadway and won the Tony Award for Best Musical of the 2004-2005 season.

Sue Riney and her hus-band Jim were first taken with the idea of bringing “Spamalot” to Oak Harbor after watching the musical in Seattle about seven years ago.

“It grabbed Jim and I,” said Sue Riney, who is the show’s producer and director, while her husband serves as technical director. “We could see that younger audiences enjoyed it. We try to appeal to the younger audience in Oak Harbor.”

And Riney thinks it might have been a good choice.

“It’s created a lot of general buzz,” she said. “That’s some-thing we don’t always have.”

The preparation has certainly been unique since rehearsals started in October.

Riney opted to use four choreographers to work with a cast that, except for one member, had virtually no

dance experience.There are 18 numbers

in Spamalot that have dance in them, requiring anything from tap, lyrical, jazz, Broadway and hip-hop moves.

“What I think is really amazing about this produc-tion is that Sue, to her credit, had the vision to split up the choreography, said Daunne Bacon Zinger, who joined Trent Oman, Wendy Rue and Samano-Losada as choreog-raphers. “Kudos to Sue for recruiting and gaining addi-tional choreography exper-tise because in a production like this, there are so many different styles of dance. To have one person do it, it’s exhausting, but it also limits the amount of styles.”

Such individual attention worked wonders.

“I’m not really a dancer,” said Matthew Woodcock, who makes his acting debut playing three different char-acters, including one who gets beheaded. “If they can teach me how to dance, they can teach anybody to dance.”

The pace of the show, which is a parody about the legend of King Arthur, is frantic.

Of the cast of 21, most have four to five costume changes to create charac-ters such as the Knights of the Round Table, French Taunters, Knights of Ni, Showgirls and more.

“I have eight costume changes, and one of them I have less than a minute to do,” said Matt Benson, who must walk on stilts for one role, something he’d never done before the show.

“It does not stop,” said Jim Reynolds, who plays four roles. “We are on a dead run the whole show.”

The production features endless wacky humor, too, bringing back to life some of the most popular skits from the movie.

The challenges were plen-ty, including finding or creat-ing unique props such as a stuffed cow, a massive Trojan rabbit, a rubber chicken, the Holy Hand Grenade of

Antioch and flexible fish for face slapping.

“There was a lot of Googling,” Sue Riney said.

There also was the matter of replicating tricky scenes

such as the removal of four limbs of the Black Knight, played by Jim Castaneda, whose confidence never wanes despite his gruesome predicament.

“I was wondering how they’d pull off the Black Knight,” said Lukas D. Lowder, who plays Patsy.

The Rineys put their heads together and enlisted creative minds and dedicated volun-teers to allow everything to come together.

Cassandra Woodcock tack-led the role of costumer and has stitched together pieces from the costume warehouse, among others, ever since the cast was assembled.

Brian Shelly and Jim Riney constructed a two-story set built around the ability to bring the nearly 10-foot tall Trojan rabbit onto the stage.

Jim Riney was able to re-use a few of the props and costumes from Camelot, a musical he directed at the Whidbey Playhouse in 1989, the last time an Arthurian legend was on the playhouse stage.

John Fowlkes played a Knight in that production 26 years ago but pitched in this time by using buckets and other material to build helmets for the knights in Spamalot.

Fowlkes was one of many involved with comedy at the playhouse who wanted to contribute in some way to this production and be around the hilarity.

“This is one of those special casts,” said Nathan McCartney, who plays King Arthur, sharing the stage with his wife, Amanda McCartney, who plays the Lady of the Lake.

“It’s a great show. It’s funny. It’s goofy. And we still get a ‘get out of jail free’ card. This is ‘Spamalot.’ This is ‘Monty Python.’ So if some-thing goes horribly wrong, it’s still really funny.”

Musical to die for

Spamalot“Monty Python’s Spa-

malot” will be performed Feb. 6-March 1 at the Whidbey Playhouse. The musical comedy, an adaptation of the film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” won a Tony Award for “Best Musical” in 2005. Oak Harbor’s Sue Riney is director and producer of the show, collaborating with her husband Jim Riney, the technical director. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; Sunday matinees are 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, except for a special $25 opening night ticket that includes appetizers and a cash bar. For ticket reservations, contact the box office at 360-679-2237 or go to the play-house at 730 SE Midway Blvd., Oak Harbor. For more information, check the website at www. whidbeyplayhouse.com

organization at the national interscholastic meet.

Peek, in his second year of orienteer-ing, learned his navigational skills from his grandfather, an Air Force veteran, who taught him how to navigate using the sun and horizon.

Peek said it is a great honor to compete at the Navy national meet and hopes to place in the top 10.

The success of the team, deLeuze said, comes from the competitors: “It’s the men and women who make it strong. I have been

lucky enough to be asked to be their coach.”Joining Peek, the team captain, on this

year’s team are TeoFrancis Torres, Jared Alano-Gray, Trevor Feinberg and Joe Gilham.

Torres and Feinburg have two top-10 finishes in WIOL competition this season.

The rifle team has had individuals com-pete nationally in recent years, but this is the first time the team as a whole has qualified since 2006, according to Black.

In rifle competition, the participants use sporter-class air rifles and shoot 20 shots from three different positions (prone, stand-ing and kneeling) at a target 10 meters away. The goal is to hit the 5mm center dot.

Oak Harbor is coached by Dave Goodman, who shot for the U.S. Navy team for four

years.Goodman, who is in his fourth year as the

OHHS head coach, also volunteers with the Snohomish and Marysville-Pilchuck high school teams.

After winning three consecutive regional titles, Goodman said it’s time for Oak Harbor to compete for a national crown.

“There is no value if we show up and crush everyone (in local competition),” Goodman said. “If we are going to get up a 6 a.m. each morning to practice, why not be great, not just good?”

Goodman deflects the success of his team back to the athletes: “The kids are now coaching themselves, which is fantastic. They see the problem, they fix the problem.”

Senior Colton Baumgardner finished 37th

and junior Mara Rouse 118th out of 40,000 ROTC shooters last year, Goodman said.

This year the pair wanted the entire team to compete at the national meet.

“We all wanted to qualify together,” Rouse said. “Getting new shooters to nationals was one of our goals.”

Rouse also competes for the West Seattle Totems, a feeder team for U.S.A. Shooting, which forms the Olympic team.

Along with Baumgardner and Rouse, the Wildcats includes Abby Holt, Hailey Hahn and Austin McBride.

“There are no cliches; everyone helps each other out,” Goodman said. “The fact that I get to be part of this blows me away.”

Now the Wildcats aim to blow the national competition away.

permits.That issue led to a dispute

between the Emersons and the Island County Planning Department about whether or not a wetland was located on the property, the presence of which could preclude con-struction.

That issue was finally set-tled last fall. The Emersons’ attorney, Justin Park, of Bellevue, said Island County’s wetland expert studied the property and determined a wetland was not present.

The first lawsuit was filed against the county by the Emersons on Nov. 1, 2010, the day before Kelly Emerson was elected as county com-missioner. The suit named a former county commissioner, planning director and building inspector as defendants and alleged defamation, trespass, violation of the Consumer Protection Act and violations of due process and property rights; the county was later added as a defendant.

Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock granted Island County’s motion for summary judg-ment, dismissing the lawsuit.

The Emersons faced fines totaling more than $100,000 under a supplemental enforcement order for vio-lations of county building codes and critical areas ordi-nances. They didn’t respond to the order, which included a $500-a-day fine.

Since the wetland issue was unresolved, the Emersons submitted two different reports by experts who con-cluded that no wetland was present on the property.

The planning depart-ment, with consultation by the Department of Ecology, refuted both reports, assert-ing that the experts failed to use proper methodology.

The Emersons filed an appeal after the planning department issued a second enforcement order and the planning director denied their building permit in 2013.

In June 2013, the Emersons and Island County entered into an agreement under

which the couple agreed to pay $5,000 in fines and obtain a third wetland report. The planning department agreed to begin processing the cou-ple’s application for the build-ing permit.

The Emersons paid the fine and submitted a wet-lands report in August 2013.However, the planning department, in concurrence with state Ecology, deter-mined that “the methodology of the wetland report was not in compliance with federal and state standards,” accord-ing to the county’s motion for summary judgment.

The planning department repeatedly told the Emersons that the issue could be easily resolved without cost to them if they allowed a county or Department of Ecology wet-land specialist to inspect the site, Mark Johnsen, an attor-ney representing the county, wrote in the motion.

The Emersons refused the repeated requests, say-ing that the county had no right to enter the property. But their lawsuit paved the way for the county to gain access to the property. The court allowed a county wet-land specialist to visit the site under the rules of discovery, according to court docu-ments.

Island County’s wetland specialist visited the site last October, took samples and concluded that there was no wetland on the property. The county issued the building permit, but the Emersons refused to pick it up, Johnsen wrote.

The Emersons’ lawsuit alleges that Island County breached the agreement by not processing the building permit in a timely manner. The couple filed the lawsuit on Nov. 5, 2013. In addition to claiming breach of contract, the Emersons accused Island County of “takings,” fraud, a violation of a state law regard-ing unlawful actions taken by a government agency and a civil rights violation.

Johnsen said the King County judge dismissed all those claims except the breach of contract argument.

Island County will fight the claim, Johnsen said.
