By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter No guns were drawn or even visible, but a councilman’s con- frontation with an armed audience member ended dramatically Tuesday night as the elected official left the meeting when his colleagues refused to pass a motion to disarm the man. The confrontation has amped up gun control debate in Oak Harbor, which mirrors many of the discussions occurring nationwide since the Dec. 14 shooting that left 20 children and six staff members dead at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The question being argued in Oak Harbor is whether people should be able to carry firearms in public places like city parks or council chambers. Councilman Rick Almberg, with support from Councilman Joel Servatius, has taken a stand against allowing guns in such public places. Almberg acknowledges that the council may not have the authority to preempt state law, but he wants to bring attention to the issue. “Currently, state law does preclude citizens from carrying the firearms in places like jails or courts and related facilities,” Almberg wrote in a statement to the News-Times , which can be read in its entirety on page A7. “So the issue is not whether possession of a gun in certain locations can be regulated; it’s a matter of which places state lawmakers are willing to regulate. In the view of recent mass shootings, I think this is a subject that needs immediate attention.” Mayor Scott Dudley, on the other hand, said he expects the next council meeting on Feb. 5 to be very popular and that armed people may be in attendance. He said he reached out to a gun rights advocate who attended the Jan. 2 council meeting armed with a gun and suggested he may want to attend the next meeting; he said he hasn’t asked anyone to bring guns to the meeting, as has been rumored. The likelihood of firearms at the meeting, in turn, has prompted council regular Shane Hoffmire to ask council mem- bers to move the meeting to a court or school, where guns aren’t allowed. Dudley has been very critical of Almberg and Servatius for their actions and scolded them at the meeting, saying they weren’t living up to the oath of office.

No guns were drawn or even visible, but a councilman’s con-frontation with an armed audience member ended dramatically Tuesday night as the elected official left the meeting when his colleagues refused to pass a motion to disarm the man.
The confrontation has amped up gun control debate in Oak Harbor, which mirrors many of the discussions occurring nationwide since the Dec. 14 shooting that left 20 children and six staff members dead at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
The question being argued in Oak Harbor is whether people should be able to carry firearms in public places like city parks or council chambers. Councilman Rick Almberg, with support from Councilman Joel Servatius, has taken a stand against allowing guns in such public places. Almberg acknowledges that the council may not have the authority to preempt state law, but he wants to bring attention to the issue.
“Currently, state law does preclude citizens from carrying the firearms in places like jails or courts and related facilities,” Almberg wrote in a statement to the News-Times, which can be read in its entirety on page A7. “So the issue is not whether possession of a gun in certain locations can be regulated; it’s a matter of which places state lawmakers are willing to regulate. In the view of recent mass shootings, I think this is a subject that needs immediate attention.”

Half-full buckets of paint, scrap or old lumber and other used building supplies may soon be for sale at the Coupeville dump.
Earning their latest merit badge in environmental sus-tainability, the Island County Commissioners last week informally agreed to allow a non-profit group to open a re-use store at the county’s solid waste complex.
Per the agreement, which is expected to be finalized with a formal vote later this month, the store will be operated by Coupeville-based Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation, or WAIF.

A South Whidbey-based non-prof-it group that provides hot meals to senior citizens around Island County will have a little extra gas money this year, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation.
Senior Services of Island County was awarded the money in late December through the mega-store’s Washington State Giving Program, which gave a total of $750,000 in 2012, according to an announce-ment earlier this month.
Of that, $375,000 went to nine non-profit organizations that work
to address a variety of basic needs, including hunger relief and job training through innovative pro-gramming.
“In addition to the thousands of associate volunteer hours and the in-kind donations throughout the year, we are very pleased to grant funds to these wonderful commu-nity organizations in Washington state,” said Madeleine Havener, Senior Director and Regional General Manager for Washington and Oregon at Walmart. “Their programs provide vital support for those in need, and we’re very proud to support their continued success
and to help people live better.”Senior Services, the largest non-
profit organization serving older adults on Whidbey or Camano islands, will use the money for its Meals on Wheels program, which assists more than 300 people a year.
The program uses a small army of about 90 volunteers to deliver a hot meal to the elderly at their homes, three days a week. Recipients have the option of getting frozen meals as well.
Not only does the program help make life a little easier for senior citizens, allowing them to stay in
their homes longer, but it’s also an opportunity for some to check in with them and see how they are doing.
“Sometimes these are the only people these seniors see all week,” said Cheryn Weisner, executive director for Senior Services.
Over the past few years, need has risen while revenue sources have dwindled, Weisner said. Often, grants received are between $2,000 to $10,000, which makes Walmart’s gift “significant,” she said.
Nutrition Program Director Debra Metz confirmed that the grant amounts to about 10 percent
of Meals on Wheels’s total budget. Most of the money will be spent on food but some will go toward mile-age reimbursement for volunteers, she said.
She said she is continually impressed with the community’s willingness to help those in need and the Walmart Foundation is no exception. It awarded the non-profit group $5,000 about five years ago, she said.
“They’ve done a lot to help our community and we are very grate-ful,” Metz said.

Oak Harbor school officials are wait-ing for the outcomes of two decisions that will affect special education dollars. They want to know whether “sequestra-tion” will happen at the federal level and they want to know the results of a levy election that takes place next month.
The Oak Harbor School District could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if the next “sequestration” deadline of March 31 is reached. That deadline would mean across-the-board cuts at the federal level which could cost the school district an estimated $220,000 in special education dollars and at least $500,000 in federal Impact Aid dollars.
The Oak Harbor School Board held a workshop Monday to discuss the levy’s affect on the district’s special education program.
The workshop participants — which included board members along with administrators, educators in the special education department and several par-ents — came up with a list of possible
costs to the school district if the federal money was reduced.
People were concerned the fund-ing loss will have to be made up with funds going toward general education programs. The funding loss would also result in staff cuts, which would in turn contribute to safety problems due to increased supervision, burnout due to increased workloads and community backlash due to the loss of services.
“We might run the risk of losing some of our quality staff we already have,” Superintendent Rick Schulte said in an interview after the meeting. He added that the staff is in a “wait and see” mode over the next two months.
Schulte will use the information gained from the meeting for an advocacy letter that will be shared with legislators.
The Oak Harbor School District did put a $500,000 line item in the upcoming replacement levy to help fund special education services in the school district. Schulte said feedback from public meet-ings held last year indicated that the pub-lic wanted the special education program to receive more funding.

A 20-year-old Oak Harbor man accused of abandoning his dogs in a state park, lead-ing to the park’s temporarily closure after a biting incident, is facing a series of gross mis-demeanor charges.
Island County Animal Control Officer Carol Barnes cited Dominick-Francis Fausto with two counts of animal cru-elty in the second degree, as well as two counts of violat-ing of the Island County code regarding “control off prem-ises” of pets.
Fausto pleaded not guilty to
the charges earlier this month in Island County District Court.
Barnes confirmed that Fausto had the dogs eutha-nized after they were released to him last month.
Barnes said Fausto admit-ted to leaving his two dogs and a bag of dog food at Fort Ebey State Park after they had attacked a neighbor and injured his newborn child. The German shepherd/pitbull mixes were litter mates.
The stressed-out dogs then attacked two hikers on a trail in the park. One of the hikers had to get stitches for a bite
wound.Park rangers closed the
park as they searched for the dogs. At one point, a rang-er had to pepper spray the pooches because they were aggressive.
The dogs started roaming into the neighboring areas, prompting Barnes, the sher-iff and a specialist from the USDA Wildlife Services to join in the dog-hunt. A resident of the neighborhood was able to make friends with the dogs, allowing the animal control officer to catch them with the help of some cookies.
Sequestration could sap dollars for special education

An anonymous person donated a property on North Whidbey to an organization that trains assistance dogs. That money will go to paying for a new facility that will better meet the organization’s needs.
Summit Assistance Dogs sold a view-front property near Polnell Point that netted approximately $80,000. That money will go toward a new building.
Erik Mann, development associ-ate for the Anacortes based Summit Assistance Dogs, said a Whidbey Island resident, who didn’t want to be identified, decided to donate the property, which could be sold as a fundraiser.
He said the organization needs a new facility, but a capital campaign hasn’t been undertaken yet.
“This actually kind of kicked it off,” Mann said of the donation.
Summit Assistance Dogs was founded in 2000 on Guemes Island and has placed nine dogs in 2012 and 63 dogs to date. The organiza-tion trains dogs to help people with multiple disabilities. The dogs often assist wheelchair-bound people to
assist with their mobility. They help with item retrieval, can flick a light switch or can even retrieve an emer-gency phone should the need arise.
Dogs can provide hearing assis-tance and they have helped stu-dents in schools and patients in hos-pitals. Mann noted that Oak Harbor Middle School used therapy dogs to help struggling students.
Summit’s dogs are also helping veterans with PTSD. Mann said the dogs help provide a personal buffer so a veteran can feel more secure.
Summit’s current location lacks the kennels to house the dogs being trained. Those dogs currently live with their trainers.
Leaders are looking for a new spot either on North Whidbey Island, the Port of Skagit County, Burlington and rural parts of Skagit County. Mann said a location hasn’t been finalized yet and they have to work through zoning issues.
He said they don’t want to stray too far away from their current Anacortes location because they don’t want to lose any of their vol-unteer base.
For more information about Summit Assistance Dogs, go to www.summitdogs.org.

A 23-year-old Oak Harbor man who assaulted three people in a bar, one seriously, was recently sent to jail.
Matthew R. Davison plead-ed guilty in Island County Superior Court Jan. 7 to one count of assault in the sec-ond degree and two counts of assault in the fourth degree.
As part of the plea bargain, a charge of resisting arrest was dismissed.
The judge sentenced Davison to three months in jail. He was ordered not to have contact with the victim most seriously injured for 10 years and the other two men for two years.
Davison punched and seri-ously injured a fellow patron at the Football Bat Sports Bar and Grill in Oak Harbor Dec. 5.
Officer Chris Peabody with the Oak Harbor Police Department responded to the assault. He wrote in his
report that surveillance video showed Davison struck the fellow patron unprovoked. The victim was identified as 28-year-old Jerry Zimmerman of Oregon.
Zimmerman was knocked unconscious. Doctors later determined that his jaw was broken.
After the assault, Davison’s three friends attempted to restrain him and he punched two of them in the face.
A couple of officers later found Davison as he was hid-ing nearby. Davison allegedly resisted arrest and tried to kick the officers. He was trans-ported to the Oak Harbor jail, where he repeatedly kicked the door of a holding cell. The officers decided to trans-port him to the Island County jail, but he resisted getting into the police car and had to be stunned with a Taser, the police report states.

Residents near Island Transit’s main campus will have a chance to comment on the agency’s plans for a 40-foot-tall addition to its new headquarters that is under construction.
Transit officials want to place an antenna behind the new maintenance building, which will be 30 feet tall.
The meeting takes place at 5:30 p.m., Monday, Jan. 21 at Island Transit’s head-quarters near the intersec-tion of Highway 20 and Parker Road.
Martha Rose, executive director for Island Transit, said the proposed antenna will be located out of the line of sight from the high-way and it won’t extend higher than the antennas that will be placed on top of the new building.
Rose said the new anten-na is needed to improve communications for Island Transit on Whidbey and Camano islands. It will elim-inate dead spots and it will improve communications with emergency services. Once installed, the anten-nas that will be installed on top of the new building will be removed.
Island Transit received a $17.92 million grant from the Federal Transit Authority’s “State of Good Repair” pro-gram to pay for the new facility. Construction is currently underway on a 15,000-square-foot admin-istration and operations center along with a main-tenance building that will be large enough for 12 bus bays. Officials have said the new headquarters will be large enough to meet Island Transit’s needs for 20 years.

Sound Publishing’s loss will be Oak Harbor’s gain.
Kathy Reed, editor of the Whidbey Crosswind, was chosen as the new direc-tor of the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Reed will take over for Jill Johnson, who left the chamber after being elected as a county commission-er.
Jason McFadyen, president of the chamber board, said the chamber received a lot of great applicants for the position, but that Reed stood out in the end.
“She’ll be able to hit the ground run-ning and just take it,” he said.
Reed has a wide range of experi-ence in communications and journalism. She has been the editor of the Whidbey Crosswind over the last two years. The newspaper, owned by Sound Publishing, is dedicated to covering military veter-ans on the island.
In fact, VFW Post 7392 recently gave Reed and the Crosswind separate awards for community service.
“We wanted to honor Kathy for all the work she does for veterans and for promoting all we (the VFW) do for veterans,” Keith Wooldridge, post com-mander, said. “I gave the award to the Crosswind for what it allows Kathy to do
to promote veterans in Oak Harbor.”Before coming to Whidbey, Reed was
the features editor at The Chronicle in Centralia, an events coordinator for an arts-and-crafts business in Kennewick and a TV news producer in Florida.
As the new chamber director, Reed will oversee a 50-year-old organization with four employees and 450 mem-bers. She said she plans to continue the chamber’s tradition of feisty advocacy
on behalf of the business community as well as the management of important community events, such as the upcom-ing Holland Happening celebration.
In addition, Reed said she will focus on growing the chamber membership.
“I’m looking forward to a new set of challenges,” she said. “I’m looking for-ward to meeting new people; that was the best part of my role as Crosswind editor.”

Letters to the editorGun debateCouncil�is�elected�to�represent�Editor,Rick Almberg let his per-
sonal feelings about it being legal to carry firearms be known in no uncertain terms by walking out of the Oak Harbor City Council meet-ing Tuesday night.
In my opinion he did the citizens of Oak Harbor a great disservice by walking out of the meeting.
Rick Almberg was “hired” to represent the citizens of Oak Harbor when he was voted in as a city council-man.
Kind of hard to represent your constituents when you are at home.
Had Rick Almberg received constituent backing in the form of a letter from the concerned citizens he
represents, I might consider that to be a legitimate reason to walk out the door.
Rick Almberg missed an important vote for the new city sewage system and he also missed the opportunity to listen to public opinion and to provide his input to the council.
The sewage treatment system project is going to cost the city a lot of money and as such I believe that the city needed as much input from citizens and the coun-cil before the decision was made.
If Rick Almberg continues to exhibit this behavior, I believe that the people who hired him to do the job of representing them should re-evaluate their decision and perhaps fire him and find a replacement that’s willing to represent the people that hired him no matter the cir-cumstances of the meeting.
One more thing: What’s up with Rick Almberg inter-
rupting the public comments section of the meeting?
There are rules for a rea-son.

Gun�control�needs�factual�debateEditor,The Newtown tragedy
makes us think of how such horrible events can be pre-vented. That applies equally to anti-gun and pro-gun sides of any debate on the subject. There are the usual reactions on both sides, with many bystanders to such discussions just assuming all statements and propos-als are factual. That is not the case. Facts and truth are casualties on both sides of the debate.
Some pro-gun people go overboard, but the worst
comes from the anti-gun side. Statements are made and proposals floated that are the same ineffective ones that come out after each tragic incident.
There are statements, opinion pieces and letters to editors that are either delib-erate misinformation or just plain ignorance. One ran in this paper recently. A couple went to buy binoculars at a sporting goods store. They canceled the deal upon see-ing many “machine guns” on the walls. The fact is that machine guns and auto-matic rifles were essentially banned for civilians long ago. A 1934 federal law severe-ly restricted ownership of machine guns, requiring deep background checks and high fees. In 1986, the purchase of new machine guns by civilians was totally ended. What the writers saw were typical modern rifles

As a reader, you value the role that newspapers play in keeping people informed and engaged in their communities.
You also probably understand the pitfalls of citizens not having ready access to news about the place where they live, work, play – and pay taxes.
Like most businesses in this economy, newspapers are working harder than ever. While a number of daily newspa-pers have closed their doors, very few community newspa-pers have encountered the same fate.
Local newspapers enjoy strong support from their reader-ships and their advertisers, and that support translates into continued coverage of important issues in their communities. The Whidbey News-Times is no different.
A local newspaper is key to the success of any community. Local newspapers fulfill a watchdog role that is critical to the health of American democracy.
With such a strong local presence, the military here on Whidbey Island is always held out as a powerful defender of our precious democracy. But their sacrifices don’t mean much if we, as citizens, fail to do our part. It’s up to the people to maintain their society and system of government that our service members risk their lives to defend.
Individually and collectively, we possess the power to protect and maintain democracy and democratic values. To achieve that goal, it’s incumbent upon us all to be informed and engaged with our community.
Reading this newspaper – indeed, any newspaper – is one way to remain informed. It makes for educated decisions about issues affecting the community as a whole.
As I leave my position as publisher of Whidbey Island’s three community newspapers – the News-Times, The Whidbey Examiner and The South Whidbey Record – I’m pleased to hand over the reins to a fellow publisher who has a strong background in journalism – and strong local roots.
An Anacortes native, Keven R. Graves began his journal-ism career by interning as a reporter at the News-Times. He went on to work as a reporter at the News-Times before help-ing to found The Coupeville Examiner in 1995.
I was fortunate to work with Keven at the News-Times in the early 1990s, and we’ve been friends ever since. When I decided to make a career change and return to the field of public relations, I was pleased to see Keven hired as the next publisher here on Whidbey. I know he will do a solid, honest job of providing our communities with the quality newspaper coverage they deserve.
As the folks who bring you your local newspaper, we pride ourselves in keeping you informed about your community and supporting the continued success of democracy on our local level.
A successful newspaper is rooted in its community. With that in mind, I was especially pleased to return The South Whidbey Record to its hometown late last year by opening a new office in Langley. This winter, we’re aiming to find new office space in Oak Harbor for The Whidbey News-Times.
No matter where you live, and which of the three Whidbey papers you read, we’d like to thank you – our readers and advertisers – for caring enough about your community to support continued news coverage of the stories that matter to us all.
– Publisher Kasia Pierzga
My decision to excuse myself from the Jan. 15 City Council meeting was not done in protest of a citizen’s rights to “bear arms” as those rights are outlined in the Second Amendment of our Constitution.
Rather, it was my effort to bring attention to the fact that, although
the state has “pre-empted” local govern-ments from regulating this subject, the state legislature has not bothered to consider the importance of precluding the possession of firearms in places like public parks or city hall.
Currently, state law does preclude citizens from carrying firearms in places like jails or courts and related facilities.
So the issue is not whether possession of a gun in certain locations can be regulated; it’s a matter of which places state lawmakers are willing to regulate.
In view of the recent mass shootings, I think this is a subject that needs immediate
attention.I am not opposed to a person’s right to
own a firearm or use a gun to protect them-selves or others under lawful circumstances.
In fact, Article 24 of Washington’s Constitution provides that “[t]he right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired…”
But that is not the issue that the city coun-cil is trying to address or focus upon.
Common sense tells me that we need to take a hard look at whether the same reasons for restricting firearms from court-houses should apply to our public parks, playgrounds or the places where citizens
gather to conduct governmentMr. Dudley and I agree that the safety of
the citizens of our community is of utmost importance.
In furtherance of that goal, I believe that the state legislature should restrict the pos-session of guns in some public places; or at least permit local government to address those issues if doing so passes constitutional muster.
Simple as that.Rick Almberg

that look like military guns, not capable of automatic fire, lacking other military fea-tures.
A recent opinion piece in a metro daily also referred to banning automatic rifles. Even President Obama spoke of restricting military rifles in one of the campaign debates. These comments, whether from ignorance or deliber-ate attempts to influence the gun safety debate, confuse people and lead to ineffective and useless laws. Let’s have an honest and factual debate that promotes effective laws, while protecting the rights of legitimate gun owners.

LevySchools flourish with levy supportEditor,If the school levy doesn’t
pass, it will greatly affect Oak Harbor schools. It is very important that children today get the best academic experi-ence possible because they are the future generation.
I am a Seventh-grader at Oak Harbor Middle School and I am 12 years old. Currently there are many things that need to improve. First of all, we have many out-dated and/or damaged text-books. In my World History class, over half of our text-books are in poor condition. Several are held together by duct tape. If the levy is passed, $600,000 would go to the replacement of outdated/damaged textbooks.
Many of our computers need constant maintenance and all of the computers need updating. Our computers are outdated and it can take as long as 5 to 10 minutes to log in. If the levy does not pass, broken computers would not be repaired.
If the levy doesn’t pass, many educational opportuni-ties would be out the door.
School athletics only serve half of the students who want to participate. Passing of the levy would restore middle school athletics and protect it from cuts.
Oak Harbor schools are deeply impacted from loss of money from the state. Our investment into schools is at risk because basic support is not longer there for needed repairs and routine mainte-nance. The levy would add $600,000 for major mainte-
nance. I am a trumpet player in the Oak Harbor Middle School band program, and want to be a professional musician when I grow up. If the levy is not passed, music, clubs and other activities would be unprotected. The levy will protect Advanced Placement classes in the high school so students can con-tinue to flourish. The levy will also protect 30 extra minutes every day for elementary math and reading.
Budget cuts have caused the middle schools to lose 30 minutes per day of class time. If the levy is passed, 30 minutes every day for middle school will be restored and so will after school tutoring.Please vote “yes” for the school levy.

Departure was about bringing attention to gun issue
their job is,” he said. “Their actions are very disappointing. Ludicrous.”
Lucas Yonkman, an Oak Harbor native and a disabled Army veteran, inadvertently touched off the controversy. Yonkman was medically dis-charged from the military after being seriously wounded when his Stryker vehicle was hit by an IED in Afghanistan.
He attended the council
meeting Tuesday expecting that an old city ordinance ban-ning guns from parks was going to be on the agenda. City council members had previously refused to change the ordinance, even though it violates state law.
The matter wasn’t on the agenda, but Hoffmire addressed the issue during the public comment period, saying that guns should not be allowed in public places.
Yonkman decided to speak on the other side of the issue.
“I carry a weapon every day for the purpose of protecting
people,” he said, later adding that he would protect any per-son with his own life.
Councilman Rick Almberg interrupted the public com-ment period to ask Yonkman if he was carrying a gun on him. Yonkman said he was.
Almberg then made a motion that anyone with a gun in the council cham-ber will be asked to check the weapon with the police chief, who normally attends council meetings, or to leave the premises. Councilman Joel Servatius seconded the motion. Almberg later said he would leave the meeting if his motion wasn’t passed.
Mayor Dudley was clearly not happy.
“The council is taking up a motion to take away your con-stitutional rights,” he said.
The other council members, however, were sympathetic to Almberg’s point of view.
Servatius said there’s no reason for armed people to be at the meetings since the police chief and other officers are normally present.
“Citizens have told me they are too afraid or too intimidated to attend city council meetings if firearms are present,” he said after the meeting. “This does not serve the public’s interest, it only serves to stifle public participation. ... There should be common ground between the law, individual’s rights, and public safety.”
Councilwoman Tara Hizon said the same logic that applies to the law banning guns from courtrooms should apply to council chambers. But she said the motion was made in
“a haphazard way” and that it should be analyzed by staff before coming to a vote.
Councilman Bob Severns also said he was uncomfort-able with guns in the cham-bers, but he agreed with Hizon that the issue needs more thought.
Councilwoman Beth Munns said she also feels it isn’t appro-priate for citizens to be armed in the council chambers.
“I must admit I am very uncomfortable,” she said, “and especially if we have a room of 20 people who decided to show their Second Amendment rights I would probably ask to adjourn the meeting.”
Councilman Jim Campbell, however, said he was against the motion because it was made during public comment period, which violates council
protocol.Councilman Danny Paggao
was absent from the meeting.Almberg’s motion failed
in a 2-4 vote, with Almberg and Servatius voting in favor. Almberg then stood up and left the meeting.
Mayor Dudley pointed out at the end of the meeting that Almberg’s motion would not have been enforceable. Police Chief Ed Green said he doesn’t work for the council and doesn’t enforce motions in violation of state law.
“We have a couple of council members, and these were the same council members who were trying to dictate whether you could wear a hat in council chambers, are now trying to take away your right to bear arms,” Dudley said, address-ing Yonkman.

Norma Ruth Anders
Norma R. Anders, age 88, longtime Oak Harbor resident, died at home in Oak Harbor, on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, following a long productive life.
Mrs. Anders was born on September 10, 1924, in Lake Mills, Iowa, to Joseph and Agnes Peterson. She graduated from Forest City High School in Forest City, Iowa, and went on to nursing school at the University of Iowa. While at the university she met her future husband Elwood Anders who was in training at the school.
Norma Peterson became Norma Anders on June 10, 1945, in Iowa City, Iowa. The couple moved to Corpus Christi, Tex, on the navy base. After her husband was discharged from the navy, they moved to Camden, NJ and then to Stratford, NJ. She had two children, Jon and Paul, who were raised in Stratford. She raised a family with her husband and had a career at the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company. She was the bookkeeper and essential to the smooth running of the store. When both retired they moved to Oak Harbor, Wash. in 1983.
While in Oak Harbor, they became members of Family Bible Church. Norma enjoyed attending church Bible studies and groups. She was a member of the church’s choir and enjoyed praising the Lord. Counted cross stitch became her main hobby and she became an expert, as those who have seen her work can testify. She enjoyed laughing and talking with her friends. Her sister Jan Van Dam was her constant companion; they were a great support to one another.
Norma is survived by her sons, Jon Anders of Voorhees, NJ and Paul Anders and wife Ellen of Collierville,TN; her sister Jan Van Dam and husband Mike of Oak Harbor and brother John Peterson of Spokane; two granddaugh-ters, Kristin Danaher and husband Brett of Austin, TX and Kelly Bojar and hus-band Mike of CA; two great-grandsons, Austin Munns and Hudson Bojar and great-granddaughter Addie; also, a close friend, Carol Marris of Blackwood, NJ.

Genoveva Reyes Taitano
Genoveva Reyes Taitano (known by friends as Genny) was 81 when she was called to paradise on Jan. 12, 2013. She was born Nov. 24, 1931 in the village of Garapan on the island of Saipan. She was the only daughter of Julian C. and Dolores B. Reyes.
Genny was a long-time res-ident of the Whidbey Island (Oak Harbor) and Skagit Valley (Mount Vernon) area. She came to Oak Harbor in 1967 with her husband Jose, their daughter Jane and son Joseph. She worked as a Sales Associate with the NAS Whidbey Seaplane Base Navy Exchange from 1974 until her retirement in 1990. The family moved to Mount Vernon in 1991. Genny was an active parishioner of both St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oak Harbor and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Mount Vernon. She was an active participant in the weekly bible study and prayer group meetings. She was also fond of gardening and butterfly
collecting. She also loved cooking and made the best fruit cake.

and ranchers who are looking to save some cash by putting old products to innovative new uses.
“People buy bathtubs and use them for horse troughs,” Stipe said.
“All of this stuff would have ended up in the landfill and people are buying it,” she said.
According to Jerry Mingo, recycle coordinator for Island
County, making a dent in the county’s waste stream by recovering recyclables, mate-rials that do indeed currently go to a landfill, is one of the primary objectives of the part-nership with WAIF.
Mingo got the idea to establish a re-use store at the solid waste complex in 2011 after visiting a similar store, Around Again, in Sequim. The organization had great success in reselling non-toxic latex and acrylic paints, reporting that paint sales alone made up the financial
wAiFCONTINUED FROM A1
backbone of the program.“The light bulb just went
off,” Mingo said.Although the county cur-
rently accepts toxic paints untreated and in liquid form, latex and acrylics must be thickened first.
The deal with WAIF removes that step while also reducing the county’s gar-bage stream.
The agreement also speci-fies that WAIF is to provide a yard attendant who will assist the public at the tailgate to identify and separate materi-als that can be resold at the new re-store.
Education and setting an expectation with the public for recovering recyclables will be an important part of the job, Mingo said.
For those benefits to Island County, the deal allows WAIF to use the building free of charge. Also, the county will contribute $5,000 for fencing, signs and other miscellaneous start up costs.
Several people hauling
garbage to the dump on Wednesday voiced support for recycling store.
“That would be a really good idea,” said Chris Bryan, a Freeland resident. “There’s a lot of stuff that people throw away that really can be reused.”
“Anything that can be recycled, that doesn’t have to be thrown away, that’s good for everybody,” echoed Ray Heltsley, a Coupeville resi-dent.
According to Price Johnson, no objections were raised this week when the board discussed the issue so she expects the matter to pass when it is formally voted on later this month.
Once approved, Cummings said the store would partially open in March, likely for one or two days a week. The hope is to be open five days a week by April.
“I think it’s going to be a very interesting and exciting project,” she said.

Whidbey Games of the week The Oak Harbor High School swim team hosts its final home meet at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23.
By JIM WALLERSports editor
It was a battle of heavyweights, both literally and figuratively. Jackson Constant’s pin in the 285-pound bout locked up Oak Harbor’s 43-36 win over Stanwood in a fight for first place in the Wesco 3A North wrestling standings Thursday.
The win capped an eventful eve-ning in front of a boisterous home crowd for the Wildcats. Before the match Oak Harbor honored its 15 seniors for their contributions to the program, then the team and coach-ing staff received a surprise award.
The Skagit-Island wrestling offi-cials association presented Oak Harbor with the Gary Knutzen Spirit of Wrestling Award for pro-gram sportsmanship.
Oak Harbor coach Mike Crebbin said the Knutzen award is “a reflec-tion of my staff and my kids.”
He added, “I have a wonderful group of assistant coaches, and I have great kids; they are so respect-ful. They are a great representation of their parents.”
Though the conference season is only half over, the Stanwood/Oak Harbor match went a long way in determining who will eventually carry home the Wesco North title.
The two teams, Stanwood at 10-0
and Oak Harbor at 12-1, entered the match with the league’s finest season marks.
On paper, Crebbin said, the match looked even. He figured each team was favored in half of the 14 weight classes and the team to register the most bonus points (team points awarded above the standard three-point decision) would most likely win.
Oak Harbor eventually took eight of the 14 bouts, and needed every one because Stanwood maximized its team total by earning falls in all six of its wins.
All the Wildcat wins were critical, Crebbin said, but three were pivotal: Constant’s and upset victories by Jeremy Vester (126 pounds) and Joshua Crebbin (160).
Vester, 11th-ranked in the latest Washington Wrestling Report poll, pinned (4:38) eighth-ranked Jacob Scott.
Sixth ranked Crebbin, after being nearly pinned in the first period, started on the bottom the second round, earned a reversal and stuck second-ranked Zack Schut at 2:27.
While every Wildcat wrestler’s team points contributed equally to the eventual outcome, none came with more pressure than Constant’s. Oak Harbor led 37-24, then the Spartans came roaring back with
falls in back-to-back matches to make it 37-36 with one bout left.
Mike Crebbin saw the 285-pound match as a toss-up heading into the evening, knowing his sophomore could be rusty coming off an injury.
Josh Smith, 12th ranked, put Constant on his back, but the Wildcat countered with a reversal and put the crowd on its feet and Smith’s back to the mat at 1:38.
Coach Crebbin said, “I am proud of my team. It was a very entertain-ing match.”
Christian Bertram (106) ignited the win with a fall (:30) in the first match. After Rebecca Holloman (113) and Zaiha Sams (120) lost by pins, Vester picked up his key win.
Cody Fakkema (132) and Jahleel Vester (136) won 9-1 and 9-2, then a pin at 4:29 by Jacob Fitzgerald (145) put Oak Harbor ahead 25-18.
Mark Johnston (152) lost by a fall (:52), then Joshua Crebbin countered with his win and Jon Laningham tacked on another fall (2:53), making it 37-24.
Jeremy Alonzo (195) and Terry Joll (220) each fell, setting up Constant’s climatic match.
Oak Harbor (2-0, 13-1) goes to the Lynden Tournament today, then heads to Everett to face the defend-ing Wesco 3A champion Seagulls (1-1, 5-2) at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Glacier Peak was hot, the Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team was not, and the result was a 64-38 win for the Grizzlies in Snohomish Tuesday.
The Wildcats shot under 17 percent in the first half (4-for-24) and trailed 21-2 and 33-8 at the quarters. The Grizzlies, celebrating Senior Night, shot 48 percent in the
first half (13-for-27).Glacier Peak (6-2, 12-3)
scored the first six points of the second half to lead 39-8, then Oak Harbor finally start-ed finding its range and out scored the Grizzlies 30-25 the rest of the way.
Oak Harbor coach Mike Washington said the icy night had more to do with his club being off its mark than GP’s defense: “We were getting open looks, but it was one of
those nights where nothing would fall. They did shoot the ball well in the first quarter, though. We went zone after that and played them fairly even for the rest of the night. If we make shots at the start, the game would have been much closer.”
The Wildcats shot 36 per-cent the second half and fin-ished the game at 26 percent (12-for-46). GP shot 47 per-cent (23-for-49) for the night.
Oak Harbor’s poor shoot-ing extended to the foul line where it hit eight of 17 shots, 47 percent. Glacier Peak was 13-for-19, 68 percent.
The two teams each had 10 offensive rebounds, but the frigid Wildcats scored no sec-ond-chance points to 10 for Glacier Peak. The Grizzlies committed more turnovers, 16 to 13, but out scored Oak Harbor 15 to eight off the mistakes.
Ramsey Rosales scored 18 for GP, and Dreu Vader and Zach Pederson had 17 each. The trio combined to hit 50 percent of their shots, includ-ing Vader going 7-for-10 from the field and Rosales 5-for-10 from beyond the arc.
JoJo Webster led Oak Harbor with 12 points, Drew Washington had 10, Dyllan Harris six, Dayne Herron four, Gabe Groenig three and Chris Hailer three.
Oak Harbor (4-4, 8-7) fin-ished up a run of playing the four best Wesco 3A teams in a five-game span when it trav-eled to Stanwood (7-1, 10-5) last night. Results were not available at press time.
Now comes a string of critical games which will determine who qualifies for the district tournament. First up, Oak Harbor hosts Everett (2-6, 5-10) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Lakewood’s Reille Jones hit a free throw with 1.8 seconds left to help the Cougars upset the host Coupeville High School girls bas-ketball team 36-35 Tuesday.
With the score tied at 35, Lakewood (2-7, 5-9) retained pos-session with 19 seconds left. The Cougars ran down the clock for the
final shot and attacked the hoop where the Wolves were whistled for a foul.
Jones hit the first free throw, missed the second and Coupeville rebounded and called time out. The Wolves’ Bree Messner’s long three at the buzzer was short and Lakewood escaped with the win.
A slow start and another miser-able night at the foul line proved fatal for Coupeville.
Lakewood jumped to a 12-6 lead in the first quarter, then the Wolves sliced it to 20-18 with a little run just before halftime.
From there it was a see-saw bat-tle and tied 27-27 after the third period.
In the first half, Coupeville hit its first two free throws then missed nine straight. For the game it made only three of 19.
The Wolves also had problems
with turnovers and hitting put-backs, according to coach David King.
Amanda Fabrizi topped Coupe-ville with 10 points. Makana Stone finished with six; Messner, Jai’Lysa Hoskins and Bessie Walstad four; Lauren Escalle three; and Haley Marx and Hailey Hammer two each.
Marissa Blair led Lakewood with 16 points, and Hailey Senyitko hit
four three-pointers for 12 points.Coupeville defeated the Cougars
40-32 in Lakewood earlier this year.The Wolves (3-6, 5-10) entertain
Sultan (4-5, 4-11) at 7 p.m. Tuesday and then go to Everett to face first-place Archbishop Murphy (9-0, 12-2) Friday.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey
At the tender age of 15, I asked Christ to enter my life because I understood I did not possess the knowledge, wisdom, patience and endur-ance to live as well as I want to live. When I married 31 years ago, with the intention to be a happy partner for life, I again understood I could not possibly do it without Him. This approach, as a married individual, goes well beyond a simple outlook or philosophy. To ask Christ to be a part of our lives and marriages is to ask the living God Himself to participate, inter-relate, influence and bond you with your spouse
on a daily basis.
How do you move to those levels with God? Some days, won-drously.
I often experience those easily detectable emotional highs and surges of love when I watch my husband work within his profession or when we sneak away for a coffee date to connect
with each other and build life plans. I also sense God is near when big concerns like remaining debt free while paying college tuition or being the best parents we can be to a foster child are tempered by new strate-gies and an illogical sense of peace. These kinds of moments in my life amaze me and my spirit soars. God possesses an intimate understanding of our circum-stances and He is actively caring for us!
Then the clouds blow in. A parent is aging and sudden health issues demand you must strategize and come
to consensus about living arrangements with adult siblings. A friend experi-ences terrible loss and you worry that you will not know how to be supportive for an untold amount of time as she works through the various stages of grief. Your child is struggling. Your cho-lesterol levels have soared. Your tired old car has an engine in need of an expen-sive overhaul. You learn 2013 will include unpaid furlough days. Perhaps you are unemployed and long for work. A health issue has stolen your ability to participate in activities that
have always filled you with joy. It is during these times of great emotional stress that Christians ask for the living God to draw near. We set our alarms early and get up to pray. We complicate already busy schedules with Bible study because God’s wisdom is spoken through the Bible and through other believers. We haul ourselves out of bed on Sundays because cor-porate worship and prayer invites God into our pres-ence. We volunteer and grow with inspiration.
And we look upon snow-covered Mt. Baker for a few minutes, finding calm and
refuge in the utter beauty, before getting back to the business of being productive and brave.
We go to our spouses.Let’s stop living only by
natural impulse and ask God to be a spiritual reality this week as we look into the faces of our spouses, searching for the kind of love and companionship and passion needed to face our own realities. May God be direct. May He be real. May He help us live deeper and better because our spouses deserve the best in us and we cannot possible face this life of ours on our own.
Ask God to participate in the ups and down of daily lifeFAITHFUL LIVINGBy Joan Bay Klope

From crabbing to cold water sharks to the effects of personal care products on the environ-ment, a one-day university in Oak Harbor will teach a variety of top-ics relating to Puget Sound and its health.
After a few years on South Whidbey, this year Sound Waters is moving to Oak Harbor High School. Classes take place Saturday, Feb. 2. Registration begins at 8 a.m.
This is Sound Waters’ 18th year offering a day of classes to those passionate about the Puget Sound environment. For the past few years, Sound Waters has seen 500 to 600 attendees per year, said Julie Ward, member of the Sound Waters Planning Committee.
In 2012, Sound Waters earned the Puget Sound Champion
award from Puget Sound Partnership. The award recog-nized “outstanding local partners for their contributions to the eco-system recovery effort,” accord-ing to the agency’s website.
At past Sound Waters, Ward said participants were positive about their experiences.
“One thing they comment on is it’s an exciting day to be with 500 people who are passionate about what you’re passionate about. It’s really good energy,” Ward said.
The day begins with keynote speaker Cliff Mass, a weather expert who will talk about global warming.
“He’ll separate the facts from the hype,” Ward said. “He’s going to examine global climate change and impacts on our region.”
He will discuss the differences between weather forecasts and climate forecasts, Ward added.
Mass, professor of atmo-
spheric sciences at the University of Washington, has a weekly weather information segment on KPLU radio, writes a blog and is the author of “The Weather of the Pacific Northwest.”
Sixty-five�classes�offer�variety
Next, attendees will take part in their first class of the day, followed by lunch and then two more classes. There are 65 class-es available this year, two-thirds of which are new. From a class on the sinking of the Hood Canal Bridge to ocean acoustics and pigeon guillemots, the classes focus on tides, earthquakes, animals, sustainable programs, Native life, legislation affecting
environmental policy, underwater photography, kayaking, salmon recovery and more.
Septic systems 101 is “always popular,” Ward said. A video tour beneath the Salish Sea and a ses-sion about Elwha River restora-tion also join the list of classes. The complete list of classes can be found at www.beachwatchers.net/sw_2013/?q=classes.
Washington state certified teachers can earn five clock hours by participating in Sound Waters.
Exhibits can be viewed throughout the day, beginning an hour before the keynote speaker address in the morning. Lunch is a good time to view exhibits by the Marine Mammal Stranding Network, Island County Planning and Public Health, Orca Network
and many more, Ward said.“There’s anything you ever
wanted to know about our envi-ronment,” she added.
The cost to attend is $40 for adults, or $25 for students or mili-tary. Coffee, tea and snacks will be available throughout the day.
Hot lunch costs $8 or attend-ees can bring their own bag lunch.
Island County Beach Watchers volunteers, part of WSU Extension, put on Sound Waters each year. Beach Watchers vol-unteers take 100 hours of classes and give back through a variety of volunteer efforts, Ward said.
“So a lot of hard work, a lot of talent goes into it,” Ward said.
To register, visit beachwatchers.net/soundwaters. For more infor-mation, call 360-678-7837.

In 1983, President Reagan issued a proclamation establishing a NationalSanctity of Human Life Sunday (SOHLS). The National Sanctity of HumanLife Sunday is held on the Sunday in January that falls closest to the day onwhich the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions were handed down bythe U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. This year, SOHLS will takeplace on January 20th. Each year, individuals and churches sponsor a variety of activities andevents to commemorate SOHLS, including special prayer services, ringingchurch bells, and special sermons and Sunday school lessons. In addition toworship services, thousands of Christians petition the Lord privately throughprayer and fasting to codify the right to life in the United States. As a national network of pregnancy centers has arisen to help women fac-ing unplanned pregnancies, church leaders have begun to encourage membersof their congregations to support their local centers in a variety of ways. Thisimportant day also provides an opportunity for pregnancy centers to shareabout the work they do to bring life-affirming resources to their communitiesand to empower women and men to choose life for their unborn children.

Glacier Peak used a big fourth quarter to avoid an upset by the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team, defeating the host Wildcats 53-39 Wednesday.
The Grizzlies, one of Wesco’s top teams with an 11-4 record (6-2 in league), out scored Oak Harbor 21-6 in the final period to salvage the win.
The Wildcats (2-6, 5-10) scored the final six points of the third quarter to take their only lead, 33-32.
But things went awry in the fourth as Oak Harbor missed all 12 of its field goal attempts and committed eight turnovers.
Wildcat coach Trisha Wieber said, “We played a great three quarters of basketball and ran out of steam early in the fourth.”
The Grizzlies entered the fourth period hav-ing hit only three of 15 three-point shots, but drilled four to help
sprint to a 50-36 lead. Sawyer Manning, who hadn’t scored in the first three quarters, connected on three treys during the run.
In all, Glacier Peak was 6-for-11 from the field in the fourth peri-od and tallied only one turnover.
The game started as if it would play to the script when the heavily favored Grizzlies ran to a 13-4 lead and then led 13-8 at the quarter.
GP upped the lead to 11, 25-14, before Oak Harbor began chipping away. Kelsey Rankin sandwiched a pair of baskets around seven points by Jalani Bobo, and the Wildcats evened the count.
The Grizzlies ended the Wildcat run just before half and led 27-25 at the break.
Glacier Peak went ahead 32-27 midway through the third peri-od, then baskets by Annie Leete, Rankin and Ciera Wiser gave Oak Harbor the lead
33-32 heading into the fateful fourth period.
Both teams had bal-anced scoring: Glacier Peak had four play-ers score between eight and 11 points, and Oak Harbor four between eight and 10. The Grizzlies, however, had a larger supporting cast.
Bobo and Rankin had 10 each for the Wildcats, Leete finished with nine and Wiser eight. Deja Bunch recorded the other two. Wiser added eight rebounds and Natalie Fiallos seven.
Oak Harbor shot 27 percent (13-for-48) from the field, including missing all seven three-point tries. Glacier Peak shot 38 percent (21-for-55) and was 7-for-19 (37 percent) from three-point range.
The Wildcats out rebounded GP 33-29 and had more turn-overs, 28 to 21.
Oak Harbor goes to Everett (3-5, 7-8) at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday.

It’s never a good time to have players out sick, but the Coupeville High School boys basketball team was missing two ail-ing starters at Lakewood Tuesday, and the tim-ing couldn’t have been worse.
The Cougars (3-6, 5-10) defeated the short-handed Wolves 60-33.
Coupeville broke a 33-game losing streak in its previous game and was hoping the momen-tum of the win would lift them by Lakewood. But with leading scorer Ben Etzell and running mate Aaron Curtin out, coach Anthony Smith had only seven players available.
To compound mat-ters, Aaron Trumbull played only nine minutes because of foul trouble and still led Coupeville with 10 points.
“He was having the game of his life,” Smith said, “and they fouled him out.”
The Wolves, energized by Saturday’s victory, played the Cougars tough
in the first quarter, trailing only 14-13. Lakewood’s Paul Coleman hit two big threes in the second peri-od, and “it had a domino effect,” Smith said, and Lakewood led 33-22 at halftime.
“We played well all the way to halftime,” Smith said, “but we had no gas after that.”
Lakewood out scored the tired Wolves 13-2 in the third quarter.
Coupeville had only 10 turnovers in the game, the lowest total in two years.
“We played them tough,” Smith said. “If we had our normal substi-tution rotation we could have played with them.”
Anthony Bergeron scored six points for Coupeville, Carson Risner five, Caleb Valko four, Nick Streubel four, Morgan Payne three and Drew Chan one.
Coupeville (0-9, 1-14) hits the road to Sultan (6-3, 7-8) at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
