LIVING: “Beauty and the Beast” ballet set. A12.

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

There were no TV cameras and no sombreros at Oak Harbor City Hall Thursday night as the council members discussed whether to outlaw hats.

The council didn’t enact any hat-related rules, but the man behind the idea didn’t back down either.

Councilman Joel Servatius made the TV news and was the talk of talk radio in April when he made a proposal to ban the wearing of hats by citizens attending City Council meetings.

Two TV stations and a crowd of upset citizens — including some wearing cheap sombreros — descended on the April meeting at which the council was scheduled to discuss the issue, but the elect-ed officials tabled the matter.

The maneuver worked to defuse the outrage. Only a handful of people attended the special meet-ing Thursday night to address the proposal, which was on the agenda with several other council motions.

Only a couple of people addressed the hat issue. Mel Vance, a former council candidate, was the only one who wore a hat, but he didn’t get a chance to dis-cuss the topic because of the three-minute limit on comments.

Servatius explained the moti-vation behind the proposal. He said he was upset about previous raucous meetings at which audi-ence people casually threw out derogatory comments. He said his motive was to promote a sense of courtesy.

“My intent was to elevate deco-rum, it was in no way to stifle free speech,” he said.

Likewise, Councilman Rick Almberg said he was in favor of the ban. He said the final straw for him happened during a meeting at which a number of people in the audience didn’t remove their hats for the pledge of allegiance and invocation.

“I do feel very strongly about showing respect for our flag and for our culture,” he said.

Servatius also clarified that his hat-ban idea wasn’t aimed at Vance, who commonly wears a baseball cap to meetings. He said he wouldn’t have embarrassed

him that way. Instead, he said he was upset by the same hat wearers who irked Almberg. He said they were men in uniform, apparently referring to firefighters.

Servatius made a motion to ban the wearing of hats during council meetings; Almberg seconded.

The other council mem-bers, however, outvoted them. Councilwoman Beth Munns was absent.

Councilwoman Tara Hizon cited a court case and argued that it’s not a free-speech issue. Still, she was against the ban.

“I don’t care if someone wears a hat,” she said. “I would never sup-port implementing a dress code in council chambers.”

Councilman Jim Campbell said he always removes his hat when he enters a building, but recogniz-es that people in other generations may not follow the same customs.

“I don’t think we should be tell-ing people the way they should dress,” he said. “This is their build-ing, not ours.”

Later, Campbell questioned what would happen if a woman wore a hat to cover baldness from chemotherapy.

Councilman Danny Paggao said he consulted both the Constitution and Miss Manners; he came out against the ban.

Councilman Bob Severns expressed sympathy for Servatius’ position, but said he wouldn’t want to tell people what to wear.

Grant Weed, the interim city attorney, said he hadn’t researched the issue, but spoke briefly about the laws. He pointed out that a ban could impinge on a person’s reli-gious freedom to don headwear.

Before he was fired, former City Attorney Bill Hawkins researched the issue and concluded that a hat ban would be unconstitutional.

The ban failed on a 2-4 vote. Almberg then motioned to ban

the wearing of hats, except for religious purposes, during the pledge of allegiance and invoca-tion. Servatius seconded the motion, but later withdrew it after it was clear other council members opposed it.

The council did, however, get other things accomplished. The members adopted Almberg’s motions to end the meetings at 9 p.m., unless extended by a vote of the council. And they agreed to end the practice of giving com-mittee reports at the end of the meeting.

Almberg gave up on his contro-versial proposal to move the open public comment period to the end of the meeting. Instead, he made

More than 400 Oak Harbor High School seniors made a noisy entrance into the Student Union Building Thursday toting arm-loads of looseleaf paper, the result of a year of homework and assign-ments. The excitement grew --— and a few paper balls were thrown — as the group waited for the final bell of their last day of high school to ring.

Five, four, three, two, one — paper exploded everywhere as students hurled armloads into the air. Then the fun began as they flung paper at each other and

even made “snow” angels in paper that was calf-deep in some areas. Students slid through the paper on their stomachs, sneak attacked their friends and fell laughing into masses of paper. When the fes-tivities subsided, the junior class cleaned up the paper to earn the privilege of holding their own paper toss next year.

Graduation begins at the high school stadium 6 p.m. Monday, June 11; doors open at 4:45 p.m. and close by 5:55 p.m. Again this year, the ceremony will be streamed live around the world over the internet. A link to the cer-emony will be available on gradua-tion day at www.ohsd.net.

Seniors toss homework to end school year

The Oak Harbor school board will begin a more than year-long process Tuesday evening as they discuss the Teacher Principal Evaluation Project. The workshop begins at 6:30 p.m. June 12 at the Oak Harbor School District building.

The meeting is changed from its regular Monday

time due to high school graduation.

The Legislature called for a change to the evalu-ation system for teachers and principals, which will go into effect for the 2013/2014 school year.

The state has created three models for a new sys-tem and the school board will begin looking at these models at the workshop.

In the future, they will also discuss training teach-ers and principals to use the new system.

In order for the commu-nity to participate in the dis-cussion, they should think

about “how to know if a good teacher’s good and how to know if a good principal’s good,” said Superintendent Rick Schulte.

“What do you want as community members, par-ents as a good teacher or principal for your child?” Schulte said.

The workshop Tuesday is just the beginning of the process, Schulte said.

“Most of next year will go to choosing the model and training with the selection. Next year, we’ll spend the entire year working to define it better,” Schulte said.

A big change in the way Washington State Parks is funded is prompting leaders to ask the public for input regarding how the system should operate.

Public meetings to acquire input about how the parks should operate will take place next week, one in Port Townsend and one in Burlington.

Washington State Parks had to undergo significant funding changes resulting in staff cutbacks in the wake of a funding crisis at the state level. Tax dollars the park system received were slashed and the Discover Pass was implemented as a substitute. The Discover Pass costs $10 per day use per car or $30 per year.

Receipts haven’t kept up with projected Discover Pass revenue of $54 million for the biennium. Early this year the park system slashed staff and the projection was dropped to $33 million.

Deception Pass State Park, for example, lost half of its

park rangers and a third of its maintenance staff.

As of April, the state had collected $10.8 million in Discover Pass revenues. The park system receives the bulk of the money but some goes to the depart-ments of Fish and Wildlife and Natural Resources.

“We know we need to find ways to operate more sustainably,” said Virginia Painter, spokeswoman for Washington State Parks. Officials are looking at other park systems across the country to see how they operate. They are also exam-ining how to better partner with local businesses and garner nonprofit organiza-tions’ support to improve park operations.

Information from the meeting will be used in several ways in the coming year. Painter said input will help determine the park sys-tem budget request from the state Legislature. The input will also be used to develop a sustainability report that is due to the Legislature this fall and will be used to devel-op a strategic plan.

In the meantime, people are still coming to the parks and purchasing the Discover Pass.

“I think people recognize that it is a pretty good deal,” said Jack Hartt, manager at Deception Pass State Park. adding that attendance has been strong at his park, which is the most popular in the state.

Hartt said the recent legislation allowing for the Discover Pass to be used on two different vehicles in the same family has improved sales.

The biggest factor pres-ently affecting attendance is the rainy weather that has soaked Whidbey Island in recent days.

“We’re in June-uary again,” Hartt said.

Coupeville High School senior Zach McCormick rides a lawnmower as part of the senior parade held on a cold, dreary Thursday morning down Main Street. Driving such a small vehicle, McCormick became separated from the entourage in front of him and the stop sign separated him from cars behind him, resulting in what looked like a one-man parade. The parade was one of the events leading up to the Class of 2012 graduation. The senior assembly took place prior to the parade and a breakfast took place once the parade. Coupeville High School’s graduation took place Friday after the Whidbey News-Times went to press. See next Wednesday’s paper for coverage. Graduation at Oak Harbor High School takes place Monday, Jan. 11, a 6 p.m. at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Obituary

By NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter

A process is starting that could change how the Greenbank Farm is oper-ated.

The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville are looking for nine people to examine how the Greenbank Farm Management Group has overseen the operations of the publicly owned farm over the past 10 years.

Those nine people will examine the operations of the Greenbank Farm and come up with recommendations on how to proceed with manag-ing the land.

Jim Patton, executive direc-tor for the Port of Coupeville, said the volunteer committee will likely come up with one of three recommendations concerning farm manage-ment: It would continue with the current management group or find another non-profit; the port could seek requests from a for-profit business; or the port could operate the farm directly sim-ilar to the way it operates the Coupeville Wharf.

There was some disagree-ment at a meeting last week on how the port should move forward, with one commis-sioner wanting to expand the scope of the review and look

at the Coupeville Wharf. Commissioner Laura

Blankenship said she was disappointed that the review won’t include the operation and organization of the whole Port of Coupeville.

“It seemed like we should be looking at the whole pic-ture,” Blankenship said.

In the end, it was decid-ed to focus solely on the Greenbank Farm.

The Greenbank Farm Management Group has had a lease to operate the farm since 2004. It is set to expire in 2014. Back when the group started managing the farm, it was trying to secure econom-ic development funding from the state. In order to get the $1.5 million award that made possible construction of a new building among other things, the state required that the group sign a long-term lease to manage the property.

Patton said the three com-missioners are “beating the bushes” for potential candi-dates to serve on the commit-tee. He hopes the commis-sioners will be able to appoint a committee during the Port of Coupeville’s June 13 meet-ing.

Nine sought to mull Greenbank Farm future

Under tow, the fishing vessel Deep Sea begins its journey out of Penn Cove and on to a dry dock in Ballard.

By JusTiN BurNETTStaff reporter

As planned, the fishing vessel Deep Sea was towed out of Penn Cove Wednesday and taken to a dry dock in Ballard.

The ship departed prompt-ly at 5 a.m. under tow by the tugboat Taurus. Traveling at about six knots, they arrived at the Chittenden Locks in Seattle shortly after noon.

The 128-foot crab boat was then delivered to Stabbert Yacht and Ship dry dock for dismantling.

The Deep Sea arrived in Penn Cove by tow in December. The vessel sat at anchor just outside Penn Cove Shellfish’s mussel rafts for the next four months until it caught fire and then sank, May 13.

The vessel spent three weeks on the bottom before it was raised this past Sunday. More than 5,000 gallons of

diesel fuel was recovered from the ship and the sur-face, prompting the closure of shellfish harvesting.

On Tuesday, the state Department of Health opened areas north of Mueller Park and some rec-reational beaches along the south shore of Penn Cove. Commercial harvesting at the farm remained closed.

Jerrod Davis, director of the office for shellfish and water protection, confirmed that additional testing for taste and smell was conduct-ed Friday but the results were not yet available by press time.

Toxicity testing has already been completed.

It is possible that addi-tional areas will be opened following the latest round of taste and smell testing but Davis said he could not speculate on how much of the fishery will be opened.

“We really can’t say,”

Davis said. “It would be great to open all of Penn Cove but it really depends on the results. We want to make sure the shellfish are safe to eat.”

As for the Deep Sea, the state Department of Natural Resources announced Thursday that it will be bro-ken up and disposed of once an investigation into the cause of the fire has been completed.

The agency has asked a King County Sheriff’s Office fire investigation unit for assistance.

According to a news release, the cost of disposal is not yet known. The vessel was filled with up to 40,000 pounds of mud and silt when it was raised. All of it will need to be removed before an assessment of toxic sub-stances, such as asbestos, can be performed.

Officials with the depart-ment’s Derelict Vessel

Program have said that can be the most costly part of disposal and have estimated the cost at no more than $400,000.

So far, the various state agencies that participated in the Deep Sea crisis have spent about $1.5 million.

According to U.S. Coast Guard Chief Darryl Harvey of the incident management division at Sector Puget Sound in Seattle, most of that money is being reimbursed through the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, a pot of money managed by the agency’s National Pollution Funds Center.

Including the state’s reim-bursement, Harvey estimat-ed the Coast Guard’s total bill at $2.7 million. That does not include the cost of dis-posal or the federal agency’s indirect expenses, which total about $300,000.

Goodbye, good riddance to the Deep Sea

Council works to save police chief ’s jobBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

A power struggle between Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley and the City Council played out during the Tuesday night meeting as council members presented a series of motions aimed at reining in Dudley’s powers and simultaneously push-ing him to quickly fill empty management positions.

The most significant action was meant to prevent Dudley from firing the cur-rent police chief or the public works director, though it’s unclear whether the clever maneuver will save the police chief’s job.

Several council members also stressed that the staffing changes, together with pro-posed revisions to the city’s personnel code and policy manual, has resulted in tur-moil and plummeting morale among city employees.

“This is a tough time to be an employee of the city of Oak Harbor,” Councilman Joel Servatius said, quoting an unnamed staff member. “And that’s not a positive comment. It’s a very telling comment as to where we’re at and what the sentiment as

to employee morale is right now in the city.”

The majority of the coun-cil members were obviously upset at Dudley’s surprise decision last week to fire City Attorney Bill Hawkins, who became the latest in a series of administrative casu-alties under the new mayor. Dudley also sacked the city attorney before Hawkins, the fire chief and the city admin-istrator. Administrators are “at-will” employees and serve at the pleasure of the mayor, which means he can fire them without cause.

Dudley also is replacing the interim city administra-tor, Development Services Director Steve Powers, with Senior Planner Larry Cort. And to complicate mat-ters, the human resources director gave her notice last week.

Yet the focus Tuesday was on Rick Wallace, the city’s mild-mannered police chief. Dudley tried to force Wallace to retire at the end of June by giving him the choice of either retiring or being fired. Wallace agreed to retire, but then he and his attorney, Chris Skinner of Oak Harbor, looked into the issue and concluded that the chief is a “for cause” employee since he doesn’t have a contract.

Skinner sent a letter to the city on Wallace’s behalf, retracting the chief’s deci-sion to retire and stating that

he plans to continue work-ing.

Skinner addressed the council during a public hear-ing for proposed changes to the personnel code, which included language that would have clearly defined the police chief and other department heads as at-will employees. Skinner said he was representing both Wallace and Public Works Director Cathy Rosen, who’s apparently also concerned about keeping her job under Dudley.

Skinner proposed that his clients’ employment status be “grandfathered in” so they remain for-cause employees.

In response, Councilman Rick Almberg did what Skinner proposed. He read a lengthy motion that desig-nates both Wallace and Rosen in the personnel code as for-cause employees who cannot

be terminated without cause. He said the motion would prevent litigation and protect valued employees.

“Both of them have been exemplary employees,” Almberg said. “I don’t think it’s fair to legislate them into a corner and treat them with disrespect by imposing pro-visions on them that would jeopardize their livelihoods.”

The motion passed, with Councilman Jim Campbell abstaining. That means Almberg’s motion will be added to the proposed per-sonnel code, which is being brought back to the council for possible adoption at the June 18 meeting.

In an interview after the meeting, Dudley said he’s moving forward under the assumption that Wallace will retire this summer and that a new police chief will be named. The city advertised

for the position and received 15 applications.

“I’m holding him to his retirement letter,” he said.

Dudley said he and the interim city attorney, Grant Weed of Snohomish County, will analyze the consequenc-es of the motion if and when the new personnel code is adopted. He said he’s not sure if the motion is even legal.

In regard to Rosen, the mayor said he was surprised that she is worried about her job. He said he told her before taking office that he thinks she does a great job and he plans to keep her in the position. He said he has never spoken poorly of Rosen, in contrast to the city engineer; he said he made it clear during last year’s cam-paign that he feels the City Engineer Eric Johnston has made multiple mistakes and should go. Johnston has also hired attorney Skinner to help protect his job.

Also at Tuesday’s meet-ing, several council members expressed concern about the number of unfilled positions and how that may impact the upcoming budget pro-cess. Almberg proposed a motion to compel the mayor to fill the human resources director, the city adminis-trator and the city attorney positions by Sept. 4 and to have the mayor and city staff come back at the next meet-ing with a schedule for filling the positions.

“We’re going to be going into the budget period. We don’t even know what the cost is going to be to fill their positions and we’re playing musical chairs in essence by moving these people around,” he said.

Likewise, Councilwoman Beth Munns complained that there’s been no communica-tion at all about the process

of hiring the new administra-tors.

Weed, the city’s interim attorney, warned that it’s probably not legal for the council to dictate a timeline for the mayor.

“The mayor is designated essentially as the chief per-sonnel officer of the city,” he said.

Powers said the city staff has a ton of work to do before the next meeting and may not have time to cre-ate the requested schedule. Campbell argued that the council should trust that the staff members are doing all they can and not try to micro-manage them.

In response, Almberg removed the deadline from his motion, but retained the part about the schedule. The motion passed.

In addition, Munns made a motion to prevent the mayor and department heads from making purchases over $10,000 without permission from the council.

In an interview, Dudley accused the council mem-bers of hypocrisy. He said they “didn’t bat an eye” at other expenses, such as the costs associated with Native American remains discov-ered on Pioneer Way, but they suddenly are worried about the costs of severance packages.

In addition, he said the council strongly criticized him when he worked quick-ly to find a new fire chief, but now they demand speed. The city attorney was fired just last week and the human resources director isn’t even gone, he pointed out.

“They were so concerned about the mayor pushing the timeline for confirmation of the fire chief, but now they want me to scramble to fill these seats tomorrow,” he said. “It’s hypocritical.”

Grant Weed of the Snohomish firm Weed, Graafstra & Benson is filling in as the Oak Harbor interim city attorney after Mayor Scott Dudley fired Bill Hawkins.


A group of citizens, gov-ernment officials and cops is recommending that Island County commissioners ask voters to increase the sales tax to fund extra deputies, extra police cars and other needs within the law-and-justice com-munity.

The county’s Law and Justice Council met for a spe-cial meeting Wednesday to decide whether to recommend some sort of tax increase to address dire funding needs and whether it should be a sales tax or property tax.

In the end, they voted to rec-ommend that the commission-ers place a measure on a future ballot to increase sales tax by three-tenths of 1 percent, with caveats that all the money go to law-and-justice functions and it can’t be used to supplant cur-rent spending.

The increase would gener-ate an estimated $1.8 million per year, but only two-thirds would go to the county; cities and towns would divide the

rest.Yet disagreement within in

the Law and Justice Council itself may foreshadow the dif-ficulty of selling the measure to the public.

Linda Sturza, a member of the council, said she believes the county commissioners already have the money to fund law and justice depart-ments adequately.

“They don’t want to do what’s right in eliminating areas that are non-essential, but they are asking for money to funds things that are essen-tial,” she said.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson, who attended the meeting, flatly said she will oppose putting the measure on the ballot; only commissioners have the power to do so.

Jill Johnson, director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said a sales tax increase is a bad idea.

“It’s another hardship placed on the business community and hinders their ability to cre-ate jobs,” she said, arguing that it will compel customers to go off the island to purchase big-

ticket items.She also pointed out that

the sales tax wouldn’t gener-ate enough funds to match the needs.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown and Prosecutor Greg Banks, both members of the council, have been the loudest in sounding the alarm about funding problems.

Brown, for example, lost 23 percent of his commissioned officers in the last three years and described his office as the lowest-staffed in the state based on population.

Brown was outspoken about his needs during the meeting.

“I am prepared to tell you that I need funding and I need it sooner than later,” he said. “And I’m not sitting on the fence any longer.”

Brown has said he needs to add 10 deputies, three correc-tions officers and eight patrol cars to his office to return to 2008 levels. That would require an extra $1.4 million a year.

Banks did some number crunching for other law-and-justice departments --- includ-

ing his office, the courts, the clerk and coroner --- and came up with a rough $1.9 million.

Wednesday, there wasn’t a consensus about the best solu-tion. The arguments revolved around whether a proposed increase in sales or property tax would be best.

Both Brown and Banks favored a property tax increase. Banks estimated an increase of 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed value would generate about $3 million a year.

Others, including Coupeville town Councilman Bob Clay, preferred the sales tax hike. Under state law, an increase of up to three-tenths of 1 percent is allowed for the purpose of funding law and justice. Banks estimated that a three-tenths of 1 percent sales tax increase would generate about $1.8 mil-lion a year.

Clay pointed out that, under state law, one-third of the funds generated by the tax would go to cities and towns, which are also in need of funding for cops. He said that would build support among voters in the

towns for the new tax.Perhaps more importantly, a

sales tax measure would need only a simple majority of vot-ers to pass, while a property tax increase would require a supermajority vote of 60 per-cent.

The council didn’t make any recommendation as to the tim-ing of a ballot measure, but left it to the commissioners.

Brown said he would prefer a property tax since it would generate adequate funding.

“It kind of looks like the dif-ference between a tourniquet and a Band-aid,” he said.

The final motion, which passed on an 8-3 vote, addressed his concerns by recommending that the com-missioners authorize a ballot measure for a three-tenths of 1 percent sales tax increase with the requirement that all the money be used for law and justice and the funds can’t be shifted to other departments.

In the end, Brown said he will support the proposed ballot measure because any amount of money will help.

a motion to maintain the current comment period, but to direct the mayor to enforce the rules that limit speakers to three minutes a per-son and limit the entire comment period to 15 minutes.

Almberg said he was making the motion for emphasis because the mayor hasn’t done a good job of imposing the rules and several audience members have dominated the discus-sion.

Servatius agreed that the rules aren’t being enforced.

“I’ve been called a communist. I’ve been called a coward while sitting at the dais,” he said. “I can assure you I’m neither.”

In the end, the motion passed with Campbell abstaining.

Letters to the editorPowers�did� a�fine�job

In the recent article Mayor Scott Dudley is quoted as saying, “I think it would have raised eyebrows” to keep (Steve) Powers in the posi-tion, he said last week.

The mayor never asked my opinion concerning Mr. Powers and how I felt about his interim city administra-tor job. Mr. Powers has been most professional and even keeled in keeping up with two jobs and providing superb leadership! I would have welcomed his continu-ation in this position.

I was grossly misrepre-sented by the mayor’s com-ments in the newspaper. He has hardly ever spoken to me much less ever asked my opinion on anything. He does not speak for me.

No�push�polling� by�Bailey�camp

This is in response to the letter from Ms. Georgia Gardner that was posted in the Saturday, May 26 edi-tion of the Whidbey News-Times. She stated in the letter that she had received a “push poll” phone call ask-ing a question about Senator Haugen’s use of transporta-tion funds to pay for cam-paign expenses. She further alluded that Barbara Bailey may have been responsible for it.

First of all, we were as surprised as anyone about the call. Second, we would never authorize a call of that type. They serve no purpose other than to agitate people and detract from the real issues facing us. And we all know there are plenty of issues to debate and keep us

occupied on a professional level.

Waiting�for�the�smoke�to�clear

Where I live I get to watch the shenanigans of three county commissioners fighting among themselves rather than the petulance of one elected individual act-ing alone. But I must admit I am jealous, at least the Honorable Mayor of Oak Harbor is getting something done as far as removing entrenched bureaucrats.

I wish I knew what the city engineer’s employment status was, I think his “in your face” threat to the mayor just made him public enemy number one. If he serves at the pleasure of the mayor I’d bet his days are numbered no matter what

threat he gets in first. If not, the mayor has several years to document what he needs to send Mr. Johnson down the road.

It’ll be interesting to see who’s left in the hallowed halls once the smoke clears.

Coupeville High School’s Class of 2012 graduated Friday night; South Whidbey’s Class of 2012 graduates today at noon. Oak Harbor High School’s Class of 2012 graduates Monday night, June 11.

Which of these dates makes the most sense? Coupeville’s graduation time is good. A Friday night gives friends and relatives time to drive a long distance and still make it; many will probably make a weekend of it, helping fill area inns and frequenting restaurants and shops.

South Whidbey’s graduation today has similar advan-tages. The noon starting time gives off-island visitors time to take an early ferry before the Saturday line in Mukilteo gets too crowded. Visitors to the South Whidbey gradua-tion can arrive early and stay late, maybe even spend the night to enjoy the great variety of things to do on the island before heading home on Sunday.

And then there’s Oak Harbor, which has the strange tradition of having its high school seniors graduate on a Monday night. Working people from off-island have trouble getting here in time, and then there’s the long drive back home knowing they have to go to work early Tuesday morning. No time to dawdle or spend money locally.

A more recent tradition, beginning with the advent of the new high school stadium earlier this decade, is that graduation takes place outdoors, in the evening, when the sun goes down, the wind whips up, graduation gowns start swirling and mortar boards go flying. It makes for amusing TV viewing on OHHS Channel 21, but it also makes for a miserable two hours for those sitting in the stadium bleach-ers.

The Monday night graduation does little for the econo-my. There’s no weekend time off, so few people spend the night, shop and eat in local restaurants or enjoy our out-door wonders. Many arrive at dusk and leave in the dark, never glimpsing a full daylight view of Whidbey Island, let alone enjoying its wonders.

Considering all the factors, we give the nod to Coupeville for the best graduation time. Second place goes to South Whidbey, which provides a somewhat shorter weekend. To its credit, it experimented with outdoor graduations for several years, but after a couple of downpours they learned their lesson and went back indoors.

Finishing a distant third is Oak Harbor. Graduate out-doors on a chilly Monday night in June? It’s a strange idea, and whatever its origins, it’s time to move it to Friday night or early Saturday afternoon.

A strange day for graduation

In reading the online comments to the recent “More Turmoil at City Hall” article, there appears to be some misconception about the need for severance packages and the process required for their approval. I’d like to respond to those questions regarding where severance packages come from and why “public servants” deserve such “bloated” compensation.

To clarify: “Public servants” i.e. “elected officials,” don’t get sever-ance packages. Council members, for example, are paid less than $600 monthly for what is easily a full-time job (if you do it right). I promise we aren’t doing it for the money.

Severance packages are an industry standard and only apply to “At Will” employees as a safety net, because accepting a high level “At Will” position means that you can be fired at any time with no

notice and no explanation. “For Cause” employees aren’t eligible because they have the relative security of not being able to be fired on a whim.

The staff at Human Resources researches the offered employ-ment incentives of other cities with similar population, industry, demographics, circumstances, etc. and makes a recommendation to the council based on what the local industry standard appears to be. Recommended severance can be more or less depending on whether or not the job mar-ket is competitive or flooded, or (hypothetically) whether or not you’re trying to recruit a qualified attorney and convince them to quit their current job, pull their kids out of school, pack up their fami-lies and move to a new area when

they know that their proposed destination has gone through two other attorneys in less than six months. It would not be unreasonable for the recruit to think their new position may be precarious and therefore try to negotiate an even better “security blanket”’ before taking the risk of having to repeat the whole process over again in a few months with no way to support their families during the transition.

The ramifications of such tur-moil go well beyond the surface of a single department head or contract, because unfortunately, the more turnover there is at City Hall, the more those severance packages are likely to increase.

So I guess the short answer to the questions posed would be: The severance packages (researched and presented by Human Resources and approved by the City Council) are necessary in order to attract well-qualified department heads.

The good news is that admin-istrative changes don’t have to come with such a high price tag. For example: Bill Hawkins’ con-tract was to expire at the end of September. Letting Mr. Hawkins know that his contract would not be renewed would have achieved the same administrative goal with-out leaving the city vulnerable and without costing taxpayers a single penny of severance. With a little planning ahead, those four months could have been spent recruiting, hiring and getting a new attorney up-to-speed — ensuring a smooth transition for the city. Win-win! Instead, we are paying Mr. Hawkins to do absolutely nothing

for the next seven months. That severance was a discretionary and completely unnecessary taxpayer expense.

The fire chief’s position is another example of an administra-tive change that could have been done with minimal turmoil and expense if implemented a little differently. No one disputes the mayor’s prerogative to make these staffing changes, but simply wait-ing and allowing Chief Soptich to retire in August would have cost the city zero severance pay while still achieving the Mayor’s admin-istrative goals.

Does the mayor have the authority to fire certain depart-ment heads? Of course he does.

Does it have to cost us hun-dreds of thousands of dollars? Absolutely not.

Support Whidbey’s own olympian

Marti Lou Malloy is going to the Olympics in London this July to compete on the U.S. Judo Team. She is the daughter of Merry and Marty Malloy. Many of you probably know her, or one of her family. I’ve known Marti since she was a little girl; we were part of her extend-ed family. She was always a great kid and fun to be around. She has grown into a wonderful, strong, caring and poised woman.

Marti started her judo career right here in Oak Harbor at the age of 6. Sensei (judo coach) George Morse, my dad, started teaching her along with her brothers at NAS Whidbey Judo Club. She continued her judo training here, under Sensei George Morse --- sixth degree black belt and Sensei Gary Steward --- fourth degree black belt, all the way through high school.

Her love for judo and her skill at the sport were there from the very beginning. She listened to all that her Senseis said and learned well. Her Senseis taught her to walk up onto the mat, bow (as is tradition in judo), grip (her opponent’s judo uniform -– a “gi”), and then throw her opponent. Most of the time, that is exactly what she did -- bow, grip, throw; match over.

Many times, at a judo match, she did it so quickly that the camera man for her team couldn’t focus fast enough to be able to catch it on video.

After her graduation from Oak Harbor High School, she moved on to San Jose State University. She joined the judo team there and contin-ued her fantastic judo career. After just missing getting on the 2008 Olympic judo team by one-half point, she hit her training at an even higher speed while continuing her schooling. After her gradu-ation from San Jose State in December 2011, she has put her full concentration on judo. She works out with the San Jose team as an assistant coach while training for the Olympics. Sandan (a third degree black belt) Marti Malloy now ranks as top in the U.S. in her weight divi-sion and ninth in the world. This is our hometown girl and she is going to London this year as part of the U.S. Olympic Judo Team!

Let’s show her our home-town (and home state) sup-port. We can’t all go to watch her in the Olympics, but we can support her by helping her family –- Merry, Marty and brothers --- Reuben and Zane (both also black belts in judo) get to London to cheer her on and watch her win. If you would like to contribute, there are donation jars here in Oak Harbor at The Wind and Tide Bookstore and at Seabolts. Remember every $1 bill adds up and can be a great way for each and every one of us to show her how proud we are of all she has done.

All donations will go

directly to Merry and Marty Malloy to help the family get to London to watch our hometown Olympian --- Marti Lou Malloy! Let’s Show Marti Just how proud we are to be her hometown!

citizens misled on septic systems

Members of Island County’s Democratic Party and environmental extrem-ists are busy speaking from their book of rhetoric like the following statement from Nels Kelstrom on Sept. 1, 2011:

“A case in point is (Jeff) Lauderdale’s very vocal oppo-sition to any attempt by Island County to solve the very real problem of fecal coliform pol-lution. In March of 2010 he spoke at an Island County Board of Health meeting and argued that the county’s new septic inspection program is based on ‘faulty science.’ There’s that standard ‘faulty science’ argument that the righties drag out whenever they do not like a regulation or program.”

However, Jeff Lauderdale’s assessment of Island County’s mandatory Septic System Inspection Program back in 2010 was proven accurate by a little known report present-ed to Island County’s Board of Health.

On March 19, 2012, Jill Wood, Island County’s Environmental Health direc-tor, presented the 34-page Holmes Harbor Shellfish Protection Progress Report to the Island County Board of Health, which revealed sep-

tic systems are not the root cause of surface water pollu-tion or Holmes Harbor water quality issues.

For years Island County government and environmen-tal extremists insisted that septic systems were the root cause of an ongoing problem with elevated fecal coliform levels in Holmes Harbor.

Using faulty science and erroneous data collection Island County government deliberately misled the citi-zenry and used the data to establish the mandatory

Septic Inspection Program and Clean Water Utility District. This deception also is the basis of Freeland’s now defunct, $40 million sewer project.

What is interesting is both Island County govern-ment, and the Island County Water Resources Advisory Committee (WRAC) are giv-ing themselves high fives for the success of the program, and working to remove the Holmes Harbor shellfish clo-sure area. It is a miracle! The beach is not polluted! This

miracle however, was actually accomplished by performing the tests correctly. Keep in mind that the remaining 86 percent non-compliant Island County residents who have septic systems already knew that septic systems were not the root cause of this prob-lem.

That is why Jeff Lauderdale is the best choice for Island County Commissioner, District 1.

WindoW on Whidbey

Randy and Lori Ann Lashua spotted this hidden wonder May 19 in their front yard. The mother deer came into the yard with the fawn, who hid under a rhododendron bush for about two hours, when the mother returned. Window on Whidbey is a regular feature of the Whidbey News-Times. Photographs may be contributed to [email protected].


A 35-year-old Oak Harbor man is accused of stabbing his stepfather in the chest with a kitchen knife May 22, court documents alleged.

Prosecutors charged Daniel Marcum in Island County Superior Court May 24 with second-degree assault with a deadly weapon. It was charged as a domestic-violence-related crime.

The fight started when Marcum started yelling at his mother at their home north of Oak Harbor. The 60-year-old man intervened and told Marcum to stop, but Marcum swung a kitchen knife at him, according to a report by a deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The two men started fighting. Marcum alleg-

edly stabbed the older men repeatedly until the knife broke. The injured man then beat Marcum.

The victim was stabbed once in the chest, twice on the bicep and on the chin. Paramedics who arrived at the scene said the wounds were not life threatening, the deputy wrote in his report.

The man later told depu-ties that he had given $200 to Marcum and told him to leave the island. Deputies found Marcum as he was walking on Highway 20, car-rying a couple of bags. His face was bruised and swol-len. He had a handle from a broken knife in his pocket, the report states.

If convicted of the charge, Marcum could face up to a year and two months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Hangar 5 on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station was abuzz as the Yellow Jackets of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 138 saw its leadership change from Cmdr. Tabb Stringer to Cmdr. Andrew DeMonte.

Music from Navy Band Northwest echoed around the hangar as squadron personnel and guests gath-ered for the formal change of command held May 24.

The colors were presented as the band performed the national anthem. Honored guests included five survi-vors of Pearl Harbor, who were warmly welcomed by Cmdr. Stringer.

Capt. John Springett, Deputy Commodore of Electronic Attack Wing Pacific Fleet, was the guest speaker. He talked about the nation’s long dependence on the sea and its sea services, but admitted there are chal-lenges ahead for tomorrow’s

Navy.“The environment you face

tomorrow will be different than the challenges we face today,” Springett said. “The Navy faces internal issues; a reduction in force, fiscal stress and politics affect our lives. I can’t say it’s going to get easier.

“The Yellow Jackets are a fantastic squadron,” he con-tinued. “Tabb, you’ve had a fantastic command tour. Cmdr. DeMonte, I’m excited to see you take on the duty

of command. I know you’re prepared for the challenges ahead.”

Cmdr. Stringer, who led VAQ-138 through the transi-tion from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler and through the squadron’s first expeditionary deployment to Iraq and Kuwait, had high praise for the men and women who make up the Yellow Jackets.

“It takes a whole team to keep the aircraft flying,” he said. “Our job is to take the fight to the enemy, accom-plish our mission and come home safely.

“You flew 210 days straight (while in Iraq),” Stringer con-tinued. “You flew 923 com-bat missions and spent more than 2,000 hours protecting U.S. soldiers. You truly live up to our motto — ‘Nothing less than the best.’”

Cmdr. DeMonte, who served as the squadron’s executive officer through Stringer’s command, offered a rousing speech as his first official act as squadron lead-er.

“I challenge everyone in this command to act like we are going into combat tomor-row,” he said. “We will suc-ceed in our mission because it’s our job. We are the lead-ing edge of electronic attack. We live to fly.”

He hailed the men and women of VAQ-138, from the squadron’s petty officers and seamen to the junior officers and officers, calling them the foundation on which the Yellow Jackets’ success was built and the key to its future success.

“We are a team,” DeMonte said. “We deploy as a team, we fight as a team and we succeed or fail as a team.”

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Oak Harbor’s Emily Hunt is one of many Wildcat and Coupeville athletes who lettered this spring. Hunt was also all-league honorable mention as a pitcher and first baseman.

Lack of offense hindered the Oak Harbor Legion AA baseball team as it dropped four of its past five games.

Offense wasn’t the prob-lem as the Coupeville Legion team fell 16-8 at Burlington Wednesday.

Last weekend at the Lynden Tournament, the Wildcats defeated Mount Vernon 10-6 and lost to Bellingham 4-3, Mount Baker 2-0 and Lynden 9-2.

Tuesday, visiting Stanwood stopped Oak Harbor 2-1.

In Oak Harbor’s one offen-sive outburst, the win over Mount Vernon, it scored all 10 runs in one inning.

Over the five games, Mike Maletto rapped six hits and Anthony Stewart four.

Oak Harbor hosts Sequim in a noon doubleheader today.

In Coupeville’s loss, Kurtis Smith had two hits and scored three runs.

Coupeville hosts Longview at 2 p.m. today and 10 a.m. tomorrow.

Legion teams struggle

Skagit Valley College Oak Harbor Head Start, a pro-gram with Hand In Hand Early Learning Center, presented the Oak Harbor Lions Club with the Head Start Hero award.

Members of the club installed a ramp and side-walk throughout the pre-school playground.

They provided many vol-unteer hours in order to complete this project.

The project ensures that all children can access all areas of the playground.

“These men are true heroes for our program and we wish to let them know how much their efforts are truly appreciated,” said Betty Judd, manager of Head Start.

Head Start provides pre-school services for economi-cally disadvantaged students with special needs.

Bob was in college at Stillwater, Okla., and after he graduated they moved to Norman, Okla., when the Korean War started. Bob was recalled into the Air Force and they moved to Tacoma. They lived in a lot of places, Massachusetts, Florida, Delaware, California, Kansas, England, and then settled in Lompoc, Calif., for 35 years.

Mara was an excellent art-ist and she sold thousands of paintings. She was the presi-dent of the Art Association and the Women’s Chamber of Commerce at the same time.

Lions offer a head start for students

Randy Mouw, principal of HomeConnection, honored Lauren Cribb at an Oak Harbor school board meet-ing May 29 as the first grad-uate of HomeConnection, which offers programs for homeschooled students.

Cribb is the first graduate to receive a degree from the Oak Harbor School District that isn’t from Oak Harbor High School in the 100 years OHSD has been in existence, Mouw said. Most HomeConnection students join the Running Start program at Skagit Valley College for their junior and senior years of high school instead of com-pleting their schooling at

HomeConnection.Cribb completed her

junior and senior years of high school while earning credit for her freshman and sophomore years of college through the school’s dual credit system, Mouw said.

Schooling “outside of the box” worked for her, Cribb told the board.

Cribb has kept busy. Every summer, she worked three jobs and only took time off to attend pro-grams at American, Brown and Stanford universities. Recently, she earned the prestigious Yates Award from Skagit Valley College.

This fall, Cribb plans to attend Willamette

University and study politi-cal science, with the goal of attending law school.

Ellen Sue Little

Mrs. Little was born in Chicago on Oct. 22, 1918, to Edward and Ella (Bowes) Kraemer. Her mother died when she was very young, and at age four Ellen was put on a California-bound train to live with relatives Lawrence and Louise Crane, who provided a loving fam-ily home for her.

Playhouse welcomes ‘Gypsy’

The combination of a 160-year-old church and a 65-year-old strawberry farm adds up to the annual Coupeville United Methodist Strawberry Social, Saturday, June 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The social takes place at the historic church building on North Main Street at the intersection with Seventh Avenue NE in Coupeville.

This popular event fea-tures strawberries from family-owned Bell’s Farm on West Beach, just outside of the Coupeville town limits, which has been in operation since 1946.

The Strawberry Social has been held for 28 consecutive

years in its current format, but the event has roots that date back to the 1880s.

History and strawberries combine in a delicious way at the social, featuring the local berries on top of home-made waffles, shortcakes and ice cream sundaes.

Cost is $7 (including beverage), or $5 for a half order, and take-out orders are available.

Proceeds benefit mis-sionaries in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

To place orders or for more information, contact the church office at 678-4256.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

They are known by many as the “Santa Anas” and are winds heated by the California desert. They frequently blew into my childhood home of Ventura, Calif., bringing a dry heat we loved. I’m missing them just a bit this week as we find our-

selves surrounded by rain and chill.I have countless childhood memories of waking

to see the curtains in my bedroom gently swaying to the warm, rhythmic gusts of air outside. The blankets hanging over the side of my bed, kicked off during the night, and the slight creaking pro-duced by the wood frame of the house were other signs that the strong, gusty winds had arrived.

It was all about fun for me, for I could wear sum-mer clothes and eat Popsicles. But when the Santa Anas arrived, my parents worried. Our modest home backed up to a barranca, a Spanish word for deep gully, carved over thousands of years by rain water moving off nearby foothills and heading down to the ocean.

Many Californians covet barranca living, for they are lined with eucalyptus trees and frequently contain a natural stream. There is no neighbor liv-ing directly behind your back fence. These gullies are quite beautiful, housing wildlife and migrating monarch butterflies. Yet, eucalyptus trees dry in the winds. Introduce fire in these conditions and their natural oils explode if they get hot enough, accelerating fire fanned by desert winds.

One year, the nearby foothills did catch fire and my dad, principal of the high school three blocks away, was tasked to supervise staff and hundreds of students evacuated to the school when fire threatened their neighborhoods.

Without him, but in my mother’s capable hands, we put our own fire emergency plan into action because it burned close enough we could smell the smoke and it hurt our eyes to be outside for prolonged amounts of time. We packed the car with basic clothing and our most treasured house-hold items.

The air grew increasingly sooty and the sun, obscured by the smoke, took on a strange, almost otherworldly color of orange. Fortunately the fire never made its way down our section of the bar-ranca.

I am glad I don’t live with a similar threat today. Yet it occurs to me that I occasionally put out a few fires of my own, fanned by careless rather than faithful living.

They are fires that start when we are tired and allow ourselves to be short-tempered. Perhaps we knowingly push a family member’s hot button. How often do we give our best to co-workers but not those with whom we share a roof? We get lazy and take those we love most for granted,

To be believable, trustworthy, faith-building people, we must clear the debris in our own lives. We might choose, instead, to cool sparks with basic values that include respect, consistency, hard work and an attitude worthy of a servant.

When the winds blow and the fire heats up, our words and actions have the power to stop destruc-tion in its tracks. Let’s express sorrow. Let’s put love in action. Let’s start over.

Loving words can douse firesFAITHFUL LIVINGBy Joan Bay Klope


See the beloved fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast” come to life on stage with the lively moves and colorful costumes of Ballet Slipper dancers.

There will be four showings only on the weekend of June 16 and 17 at Oak Harbor High School.

It’s nothing like the Disney movie, said Mara Powers, 13, who’s been dancing for nine years.

“I love the story. It’s got to be one of my favorite fairy tales. The story of someone finally falling in love with the beast,” said Ellen Peterson, 14, who plays the part of the Beast. Beauty is capable of see-ing beyond looks to the person within. “It’s really beautiful.”

The part of Beauty is played

by Chelsey Kosbar, 12.“I like that it’s just a really

big production. It takes a lot of work and I think when you put it on people can tell,” Powers said.

Fifty dancers will perform 28 dances in the whimsical romance. The Ballet Slipper’s mistress of dance, Diane Geragotelis, handmade nearly 150 costumes for the show.

“I’m really excited about the costumes and sharing our hard work,” Peterson said.

“I think it’s a very child-hood favorite brought to life. I think all the little girls will be mesmerized by the scene changes,” Powers said.

“It’s a really, really, really lively play,” Geragotelis added. The dancers are always mov-ing and there’s always some-thing new and exciting to see

on stage.The Ballet Slipper also put

on “Beauty and the Beast” in 2007, featuring some of the same dancers, but they were “babies” that many years ago, Geragotelis said.

For some of the dancers, this is a chance to get back on stage after much waiting. Kelli Spence, 28, has been dancing for 25 years but hasn’t per-formed on stage for six years. While the waiting hasn’t been as long for other dancers, their eagerness to perform is just as strong.

“I’m excited about finally being on stage. We’ve been rehearsing since February,” said Lola Paja, 26.

With family and friends fly-ing in from across the United States, the dancers could hard-ly suppress their delight and

joy at sharing the production with the community.

“It’s going to be the best bal-let they’ve ever seen!” Powers exclaimed.

“It’s a good performance. The kids are good,” Geragotelis said. “They’re all very enthusi-astic. We’re looking at a good show.”

American Legion members Manny Valenzula and Dennis Jones present a new American flag to Oak Harbor Senior Services Director Mike McIntyre, center, Thursday.

Donation cheers seniors and protects flag

By KATHY REEDStaff reporter

The stars and stripes are flying a little brighter and a little more securely in front of the Oak Harbor Senior Center today, thanks to members of the American Legion George Morris Post 129.

In a brief presentation Thursday, American Legion members Manny Valenzula, Dennis Jones and W.D. Mayotte gave the center a new American flag and a new flag pole.

“We saw the old flag was getting worn, so we offered to replace it,” said Mayotte, the post’s finance officer. “The flag keeps getting wrapped around the pole, so the new assembly rotates to help prevent that.”

Senior services direc-tor Mike McIntyre said he was surprised at first when Legion members contact-

ed him, but very happy to accept the gift.

“At a time when we’re watching our pennies very closely, this really helps,” he said. “Now we’ve got this reminder of their service to the community, and we’ll think about them every time we see the flag.”

“When the flag’s not out there, people notice,” said senior center program coor-dinator Roxann Dunn-Terry. “When we didn’t have it out there, three people came to me personally to ask why it wasn’t there.”

The rotating assembly on the pole will help extend the life of the new flag.

“It will be nice having that rotating cap,” said McIntyre. “I’m out there all the time fixing that when it wraps around the pole. We get a lot of wind, so this will help.”

Mayotte said the new flag and pole cost about $100.

“It doesn’t cost us that much, so why not do it for the community?” he said. “Why not give back to the community when it’s given us so much?”

The American Legion also accepts worn or dirty flags

that need to be disposed of properly. There is an old mailbox in the Legion’s entrance hall where the flags can be dropped off.

The flags are saved and disposed of in formal flag-burning ceremonies.

The George Morris Post of the American Legion is located at 690 SE Barrington, Oak Harbor.

A 27-year-old Freeland man will be going to prison after his seventh conviction for violating a court order that bars him from contact-ing a teenage girl.

Joshua Kolbet pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court May 21 to a felony violation of a no-contact order, a domestic violence crime.

Kolbet will be sentenced on June 18. Under the plea bargain, the prosecution and defense will recom-mend a two-year prison sentence and yet another no-contact order preventing him from contacting the girl for five years.

The victim, who was 15 years old at the time, reported last November that Kolbet had tried to contact her by calling her friend’s cell phone and asking to speak with her. Kolbet called over and over until the girl finally spoke

to him; he allegedly threat-ened her.

Eerily, the victim and her friend saw Kolbet standing and watching them from about 100 yards away when they left the police depart-ment.

Just a few weeks prior, Kolbet and the girl had been arrested together in Skagit County.

According to a police report on the case, Kolbet and another man were accused of stealing a car from a man at gunpoint in the Lacey area and then stealing a baseball hat from a Mount Vernon gas station on Nov. 13, 2011. The girl was driving the car.

Kolbet was charged in Skagit County with felony violation of a no-contact order and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree, according to the Skagit County Prosecutor’s Office. His trial is sched-uled for June.

Island County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said Kolbet has now been convicted of violating a no-contact order a total of seven times and the Skagit County case could make it eight.

Last year, Kolbet was charged with attempted rape of a child after he and the girl were caught in an Oak Harbor hotel room together, but the charge was dropped because the girl was uncooperative with investigators.

The girl, formerly a Coupeville resident, had been listed with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2009 after she and Kolbet went to Las Vegas.

He was arrested there for attempted burglary and she was sent home.
