First few days of Filing Week yields surprise candidates

By JANIS REIDStaff reporter

Whidbey General Hospital’s new CEO Geri Forbes demonstrated a new brand of leadership Saturday when she attended a community event at Fort Nugent Park.

Forbes was on hand for presentation of portable defibrillators to a youth football team and its coaches.

“This will save lives,” Forbes said at the event.

For Forbes, being accessible to the community is a main pillar of her leadership style.

“Part of my role is to be the face of the hos-pital,” Forbes said in a Monday interview. “I take that very seri-ously.”

“Will I make it to every event? No, but I’ll try to make as many as I can.”

Whidbey News-Times staffThere were surprises for Whidbey Island

voters in the first couple of days of candidate Filing Week.

And it appears that some seats may have no

candidates at all.Filing week started 9 a.m. Monday and

continues through 4 p.m. Friday. For a few hours Tuesday morning, candidates weren’t able to file electronically because of an outage

involving Northwest Open Access Network that affected the state’s election web applica-tions, according to the Office of the Secretary of State.

A s Oak Harbor history goes, the dirt underneath Karla Freund’s feet is essentially hallowed ground.

She works the garden on the hillside of the old Freund farmstead almost daily, getting a birds-eye view of Oak Harbor’s past and present.

Standing over rows of eggplant, cucumbers, radishes and beets, she can look beyond an 1860s farmhouse still on the property and see most of Oak Harbor’s cityscape and more modern development.

She can hear the sounds of progress, too, from the sirens to whiz-zing cars and horns that blare all too frequently at the nearby intersec-tion of Erie Street and Highway 20.

“I hear a lot of ‘car wash!’” Freund said. “Once in a while, I think

Honoring a rich history with an eye

to the future

A burning need to train A10

By DEBRA VAUGHNStaff reporter

For years Oak Harbor Fire Chaplain Ron Hancock wanted a way to honor ser-vicemen and women in Oak Harbor.

He dreamt about it and he talked about it — to everyone all over town. To mayors, to business owners, to anyone who would listen.

“It bothered me you go through Oak Harbor, a mili-

tary town, and there were no visible signs that said, ‘Thank you’ from the civilians for the troops,” Hancock said. “I just thought there should be a physical statement that says, ‘Thank you for the freedom.’”

With help from the com-munity, Hancock’s vision is being realized downtown. The project is called the Walk of Honor.

A dedication ceremony is planned for 3 p.m. Saturday, May 23 on Pioneer Way near the intersection with Southeast Pasek Street.

Banners now hang from light poles on Pioneer between Midway and Regatta.

These aren’t some flimsy canvas affair that’s going to get worn and torn by the first stiff breeze coming off the water.

These are metal with designs so intricate they took a full day to print.

The project is financed through private donations from more than 25 commu-nity organizations and private citizens. Oak Harbor Signs donated the labor to produce and hang the banners. The art on the banners was cre-ated by Northwest artist Jody Bergsma.

Hancock said he wants the spotlight on other people, but it was his relentless and pas-

sionate vision that beat life into the project.

Hancock grew up in Detroit “on the wrong side of the cross.” After some trouble in his teenage years, he joined the U.S. Navy at age 18. His first duty station was Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1961. He served on the NAS Whidbey Fire Department for more than 30 years and now serves with the Oak Harbor Fire

Department.His experiences here and

abroad ingrained in him a deep respect for military per-sonnel and local firefighters and police officers. He refers to them as “those who stand the watch.”

Experiences of World War II veterans he met serving in Vietnam were a particu-larly powerful influence. If America had lost that war, he said, “We darn well would

have lost our freedom. If America had lost our free-dom, the world would have.”

He wants people travel-ing along Pioneer Way to be reminded of that service. And he’d like to perhaps inspire a young person to serve.

“This is such a community thing,” Hancock said.

“If there’s going to be any cheering, it should be for the troops.”

Kaleafa, Oak Harbor’s first recreational marijuana retail-er, is hoping to change the face of pot consumption.

“The vision from the begin-ning was to not just be another weed shop but to provide the residents of Oak Harbor and Whidbey Island something to be proud of,” co-owner Brent Qualls said.

The store, located next to at 33858 State Highway 20 next to Floor Show, is aim-ing for a high-end look to differentiate itself from other stores.

Aesthetically, the high ceil-ing lends itself to a sleek, loft-style look that creates a clean and welcoming design, said co-owner Bill Widmer.

Kaleafa has partnered with local award-winning photog-rapher Denis Hill to display his landscape photography on the walls, along with other local artists such as Mike McConnell.

Product-wise, the store fea-tures more than 20 varieties of smokable marijuana, start-ing at $10 per gram, along

with edibles that include chocolates, brownies and syr-ups for cooking.

“Our goal was to have the best looking store, with the highest quality products, most knowledgeable staff and the best prices,” Qualls said. “So far, I think we’ve done that.”

In addition to all of the can-nabis products, Kaleafa also features high-end glassware.

“So far, we have one really beautiful line from Liberty 503, and we’ll be bringing in much more soon,” Qualls said.

Widmer said that while they are seeking the best products on the market, they want to stay local

Widmer said he’s aware of six authorized producers on the island so far and will be looking to source locally as much as possible.

“If folks spend their money here, we want it to stay here,” Widmer said. “We really want to be a part of things here.”

Most impor tantly, Widmer and Quall said they agree that providing top-notch service with knowl-edgable staff members will

be the key to their success. “Our challenge is to give

people great service and give the right level of service,” Widmer said. “We’re super excited to be a new business and part of the community.”

The store has been open for a week already but will be hosting a Grand Opening 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Attendees can try gourmet

waffles on a stick provided courtesy of Seattle-based My Sweet Lil Cakes catering, as well as beverages, music, giveaways and a 4 p.m. raffle.

Customers who spend $20 will receive their choice of a free Kaleafa T-shirt or tank top.

A registered nurse was reinstated to her position after the state nurses’ asso-ciation filed a complaint against Whidbey General Hospital.

The complaint, filed in April by the Washington State Nurses’ Association, claimed that the hospital refused to provide docu-mentation supporting the termination of union mem-ber Terrie Owens.

The hospital did not pro-vide documentation but said it “had relied on Ms. Owens’ ‘Patient Charts’ and two ‘Patient Safety Net Reports,’ ” according to the complaint filed with the state Public Employment Relations Commission.

The hospital confirmed Tuesday that Owens had been reinstated.

Hospital representatives said that “it is not appropri-ate for the hospital to com-ment further at this time, as this matter is involved in pending litigation.”

The nurses’ association said Owens was reinstated “as a result of WSNA’s advo-cacy.”

“The Washington State Nurses’ Association is proud to stand behind this nurse and her 12 years of service at the hospital,” according to a Monday news release.

“The unfair labor practice filed by WSNA stems in part from the hospital’s inability to produce any documenta-tion for their alleged rea-

sons for this termination.“She has the support

of her peers, including numerous letters written on her behalf by cowork-ers during this challeng-ing time. This nurse has lived in the community for 21 years and cares deeply about providing the high-est level of care to her patients.”

The complaint was one of two filed with the PERC.

The second complaint is yet to be resolved and the hospital’s regular three-year nursing contract nego-tiations with the associa-tion are still ongoing.


A state hearings board rejected the critical areas ordinance the county adopted last February because it was temporary.

The ordinance was chal-lenged by the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, which repeatedly questioned the county’s environmental ordi-nances for not offering proper protections.

“We would have accepted what they did if it hadn’t been interim,” said WEAN’s Marianne Edain. “You can’t ask for permanent resolutions when you have your fingers crossed and hope to change it in a year.”

The Growth Management Hearings Board found in a ruling dated May 4 that the county remains noncompli-ant in regulating critical areas such as wetlands, aquifers and wildlife habitats in some agricultural areas.

The board agreed with WEAN’s argument “that a jurisdiction cannot achieve compliance through the adop-tion of an interim ordinance.”

Regardless, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she considers the ruling a win for the county

because the Hearings Board didn’t find any other problems with the ordinance.

Planning Director David Wechner said the county hoped the Hearings Board would accept the interim ordi-nance because it included a work plan, allowed per state statute, outlining a plan to address the ordinance further in the Comprehensive Plan update due next year.

“The board thought it would be less confusing to do it all at once,” Wechner said. “Apparently the Hearings Board disagreed.”

The Hearings Board ordered the county to adopt a permanent ordinance by Nov. 13.

While the temporary ordi-nance required agricultural activities in the rural zone to comply with critical areas protections, WEAN remains concerned about the effects of agriculture.

Under the temporary ordinance, which remains in effect, existing and ongoing agricultural properties zoned as commercial agriculture and rural agriculture will be exempt from the critical-areas ordinance, if best manage-ment practices are used.

“Numerous studies have now found that most surface water on the islands violates state standards for bacterial

contamination, temperature, and other water quality cri-teria,” said Steve Erickson of WEAN in a press release. “There are multiple causes and agriculture is certainly a contributor.”

Edain said she hopes a bal-ance can be struck.

“We believe that its possible to have both viable agriculture and effective environmental protection, and look forward to working with the county and others to achieve that,” she said.

Edain and Erickson were critical of what they see as the county’s “stonewalling” efforts to come into compli-ance over the years.

The original ordinance was adopted in 1998, and the group challenged the county’s treat-ment of wetlands on farmland in 2000 and won. Previously, the county had exempted all agricultural zones from wet-land protection, which WEAN argued was contrary to GMA.

Many of us love “The Starfish Story,” a tale traced to an essay by the American anthropologist and science writer Loren Eiseley. It gently reminds us to focus not on the magnitude of the problem, but on the part of it that lies before us.

Here is one telling: An old man walking on the beach encounters a young man picking up starfish stranded on the sand. “Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” he asks.

To the younger man, it’s obvious: “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.” “But don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can’t possibly make a difference.” Reaching down and tossing in another, the young man replies,

“It made a difference for that one.”On May 12, the Community Health Advisory Board and the

Island County Board of Health recognized some of the “star-fish tossers” in our midst.

Fifteen individuals and agencies were recognized as Linda Lee Martens Memorial Health Heroes for their extraordinary efforts contributing to the health and well-being of the people of Island County.

From working to meet the needs of homeless people in South Whidbey to the simple act of going out every day to pick up litter on Oak Harbor sidewalks while offering kind-ness to people on the way, each awardee has found something that needs doing and quietly stepped up to get the job done.

Some jobs, like tossing back starfish, can never be “done,” of course, and individuals — even our heroes — get tired, yet they keep on.

How much more could we accomplish together if we saw how our challenges intersect and our goals affect one anoth-er? Right now, our health department and Community Health Advisory Board are embarking on a new community health assessment. We’ve started with help from community experts of wide-ranging backgrounds to be sure we’re asking the right questions.

The conversation will expand over the coming months as the assessment reveals a picture of where we stand and what challenges we face. Then we can set goals for a new three-year community health improvement plan — goals that arise from our community will be aimed at our community and will take work by our community to achieve.

Our collective quality of life is enhanced by these honored Health Heroes, by other individuals, and by programs of agen-cies and organizations across the county, including the health department. Working together, we won’t leave any “starfish” on our shore.

Fatal fire

Responders deserve our sincere thanksEditor,

Firefighters and the Island County Sheriff’s Office responded to a tragic fire that recently occurred on Bay Front Lane in the Dugualla Community and resulted in the tragic loss of one life.

I witnessed firsthand firefight-ers from the North Whidbey Fire District, Mount Erie Fire Department and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Fire Department valiantly trying to save both the home and person inside, and then, due to their tireless and brave efforts, they were able to save the adjoining homes which were damaged but spared.

It should be noted that the vast majority of firefighters responding to fire scenes and risking their lives in the process are unpaid volunteers.

What valuable members of our community they are, devoting their spare time to hours of training and actual responses.

I — we of the surrounding homes — owe a sincere, heartfelt thank-you to all who participated in this brave and untiring effort to preserve life and property.

Well done indeed. Fred StilwellOak Harbor

Pageant

Despite glitches, first Miss OH was a successEditor,

On May 2 we celebrated a special moment of firsts for Oak Harbor as we crowned Miss Oak Harbor 2015, Dejsha Lollar, along with First Princess, Mara Powers, and Second Princess, Jacalyn Hefflefinger.

While our show had a few glitches in its first year, we were pleased to break through common beauty pageant stereotypes with a focus on areas such as scholastics, service, fitness and participation.

The end result of more than $4,800 in scholarship money awarded far exceeded our expectations.

The success of this program would

not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors.

We humbly thank all of the busi-nesses and individuals for their sup-port and contributions.

We would also like to thank our Mistress of Ceremonies, Christine Cribb, our auditors, Kathy Jolly and Ronnie Wright, and our judges, Jeff McMahan, Kenzi Novell, Keven Graves, Nora O’Connell Balda and Tara Hizon.

We acknowledge special appre-ciation for our backstage crew and pageant-night helpers, Abbie Martin, Barbara Hernandez, Jim Nelson, Mollie Brodt, OHHS NJROTC Color Guard, Susan Jensen, TJ Pierzchala, Vic Rikard and Wildcat TV.

We would also like to thank our great community for the support of our program and participants, our contestants for their unflagging com-mitment to the program and its pro-cess, and the nine sets of parents who shared their daughters with us and stood behind them all the way.

You all made this inaugural event exciting and successful, and we are so grateful.

Sundberg legacy

NY Times journalist to kick off lecturesEditor,

A very successful fundraising lunch was held at Useless Bay Country Club late last month by members of the Trudy Sundberg Lecture plan-ning team.

We thank all those who attend-ed, and especially our speaker, Bob Whitsitt, who donated his time and shared his unique — and very enter-taining — sports perspective.

We also recognize and thank the generosity of our donors and spon-sors.

The event marked an important step in achieving our goal of bring-ing an eminent speaker to Whidbey Island for the annual Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecture.

The first Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecturer will arrive on Whidbey Island in May 2016. Hedrick Smith, a former New York Times Washington Bureau chief, has written five books and produced more than 50 hours of documentaries for PBS and Frontline. His most recent book, “Who Stole the American Dream?,” made the New York Times national bestseller list. He is a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and editor, an Emmy Award–winning producer and is considered one of America’s most distinguished jour-nalists.

Object to COER’s mission of closureEditor,

Since the late 1940s, our family has owned and paid taxes on property between Deception Pass and Ault Field. We have been subjected to our share of noisy jets and have ceased talking when the jets drown out con-versation.

But we do object to COER’s wish to excuse Coupeville’s Outlying Field from all touch-and-go flights and con-centrate them at Ault Field. (And we also object on behalf of visitors to Deception Pass State Park, which is the most popular of all our state parks.)

As to COER’s suggestion to shove the Navy training into Eastern Washington or to another state altogether, that is merely COER’s NIMBYism talking.

Our United States Navy should not be handicapped in any way from whatever practicing it takes to train our young men to accomplish suc-cessful carrier landings.

City campground

Surprised public did not speak out on issueEditor,

As a person new to the City of Oak Harbor, after living on the south end of the island for several years, I was surprised to read in the newspaper that the Windjammer campgrounds are being closed for possibly three years.

Can someone tell me why anyone in their right mind would even consider something like that? I have watched the facility for two years now, and it has been used year-round. This move would be asinine.

I know the city is making good money on this facility because I have had relatives stay there. Why would you close down a moneymaker for that length of time? Isn’t there some other place you could put the dirt while you are working on the sewer project? You are going to lose a con-siderable amount of money that you will never recoup.

Is the city so rich it can afford a closure for that length of time? It will also put some military people out of a place to live.

That being said, I know that some of you out there don’t care what happens to the military people and where they live. Some of you want the military gone.

Not me. God bless all military peo-ple.

When it comes time to upgrade the campground, then close part of it, and then reopen and close another part if needed.

Maybe I’m being too logical. Common sense and logic seem to have died sometime in the recent past.

I’m really surprised the public has not come up with more objections. Maybe my letter will get people think-ing. That is, if it is printed.

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARSCity’s first mayor callstown council meeting

100 years ago n The first mayor of Oak Harbor, Jerome Ely, called a meet-

ing of the newly elected town council for Saturday evening, May 15, in the office of J.T. Rogers, and for the purpose of organization and the appointment by the mayor of the various officers provided for by the state law. The meetings of a town council were always public and it was encouraging to see citi-zens generally take enough interest in municipal affairs to be in attendance.

n Mr. Forbes, who concluded to put in a regular ferry boat of 80 horsepower in capacity at Stewart’s Landing, arrived Tuesday and was engaged in securing the necessary material to commence immediate construction of the slips on both sides.

n Twelve hundred persons lost their lives, the British admi-ralty estimated, when the Cunard line steamship Lusitania was torpedoed off Old Head, Kinsdale, on the Irish coast. The ship was sunk without warning by a German submarine.

75 years agon The Whidby Dairy Products Company announced it would

hold its formal opening and open house celebration. Farmers particularly were invited. The plant had been in operation for months, but directors wished to wait until all equipment was installed and everything in readiness before making their invita-tion to the public.

n “Wanted, horses!” was the cry of the committee in charge of that branch of the Holland Days Festivities to be held June 14-15. The committee lined up a program of horsey events for the two days and had a nice allotment of $80 for prize money. As a consequence, they wanted horses, and lots of them, to be entered by their owners in the various competitive classes.

n The May 23 edition of the Farm Bureau News was the Whidby Dairy Edition.

50 years agon Oak Harbor High School’s students came up with a corny

way of celebrating the town’s golden anniversary. They planned to walk a mile for each year of incorporation.

n A special ceremony to honor city employees was held on Oak Harbor’s golden anniversary May 15. Pins for 10, 15 and 20 years of service were given in a small ceremony. The city council also held an open house for the public.

25 years ago

n For the second time that year, voters rejected the Oak Harbor School District’s proposed two-year $4 million school levy.

n In a blow to the Coupeville Planning Commission, the town council rejected a sweeping moratorium on building permits. But Mayor Bette Coyne said she may have a compromise. Coyne said she could not accept a moratorium on all building permits but was willing to support one on new subdivisions and short plats until it was determined the town had an adequate water supply.

n Looking Back is compiled from the Whidbey News-Times’ archives as the newspaper celebrates 125 years in business and the City of Oak Harbor its 100th anniversary of incorpora-tion.

San JuanREHABILITATION CENTER

911 21st Street, Anacortes,WA • 360-293-7222www.sanjuanrehab.com

The staff and residents of San Juan Rehab (Anacortes) send the warmest of wishes and thanks to IHOP in

Mount Vernon for making a recent breakfast “the most wonderful time of the year”. Preparing seating for 17 people, including 10 wheelchairs, was no small task at 9:30 am on a busy weekday. But the restaurant staff not only did that, but dished up plates of patience, humor and various breakfasts for the whole group, with not a frown or hint of confusion, of which we created plenty! Andrea, our main server, was just a jolly, smiling elf who chatted with residents and showed the most caring heart. And apparently, Santa was in the restaurant that day too. In the spirit of the holidays, a table of complete strangers picked up the tab and quietly left before our group could extend our appreciation for their generosity.

Getting out and about for a holiday breakfast is a huge treat in itself. With the help of these caring individuals it became one of the highlights of the season, one which will be remembered long after the Christmas lights are taken down.

I had gone to San Juan Rehabilitation in August of 2014 after my knee replacement. I was initially apprehensive about going but ended up having a wonderful stay. I was treated by great nurses and therapists and was able to go home feeling 100% ready.

I started to feel weak and not like myself recently so I ended up going to the emer-gency room. I was diagnosed with having an internal bleed and overall weakness. The doctor recommended that I would benefi t from a rehabilitation stay. As soon as he said that, I knew I wanted to return to San Juan!

It felt like a homecoming when I came back to the building. The same staff that I grew to love, welcomed me with open arms. I especially appreciate Paul Whitmore RN. His kind nature and easy going personality made me feel very comfortable. I also just love the whole therapy team. They are so knowledgeable and helpful!

I never realized that I would have FUN while be-ing here. Michael Matson (Activity Director) is so spontaneous and full of life. I went to the casino this week and won $251.00. You can’t beat that!

I’m getting ready to leave San Juan Rehabilita-tion and move to Florida and this is bittersweet as I will miss the team here at San Juan and the majestic beauty of the Pacifi c Northwest.

I can say with no hesitation that San Juan changed my life for the better and I would recommend them to anyone in need of Skilled Nursing Care.

By JIM WALLERSports editor

The weather Saturday was gorgeous, but the results weren’t for the Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school teams beginning district tour-nament play.

In District 3 1A action, which was loser-out in the first round, the Coupeville baseball team lost 1-0 to vis-iting Cascade Christian and the Wolves’ soccer team fell 5-2 at Charles Wright.

The Oak Harbor baseball team also lost its opening playoff game, 13-2 at home to Meadowdale. Fortunately for the Wildcats, the District 1 3A tournament is double elimination. Oak Harbor hosted Arlington Tuesday; results were not available at press time.

If the Wildcats won, they will play at 4 p.m. Wednesday, possibly at home. The site and opponent were deter-mined by the outcome of other games Tuesday.

The Coupeville track team also began its postseason Saturday, competing in the Olympic League champion-ship meet at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo.

The Oak Harbor track team finished its regular season at the Stanwood Invitational Friday by placing second in both the boys and girls meets, and the Wildcat softball team dropped a pair of conference games, los-ing 12-1 to visiting Arlington Friday and 14-10 in nine innings on a walk-off grand slam at Marysville-Pilchuck Monday.

Mavs explodeAfter the Oak Harbor base-

ball team cut the lead to 4-2 heading into the final inning, Meadowdale erupted for nine runs in the top of the seventh to secure the district win.

Maverick pitcher Elliott Reece cruised until the sixth inning as Meadowdale built a 4-0 lead.

Walks to Kevyn Johnson and C.J. Meders (Reece’s first of the game) and a sin-gle by Brent Mertins load-ed the bases with no outs in the bottom of the sixth. Tyler Snavely’s sacrifice fly scored one run, and Robert Herring’s fielder’s choice drove in another to make it 4-2 going into the final inning.

Any momentum Oak Harbor banked in the sixth was quickly spent.

In the top of the seventh, the first six Mavericks reached base. The first three stroked base hits for one run, then the Wildcats committed three straight errors and four more runs scored.

Meders, Preston Rankin, Mertins and Trent Benson collected Oak Harbor’s hits.

1 run holds upWith one out in the top

of the first inning, Cascade Christian received a walk from Coupeville pitcher Aaron Curtin. The runner moved to second on a passed ball and to third on a ground out.

The next Cougar hit an infield single off the glove of third baseman Julian Welling to drive in the game’s only-run.

Curtin shut down the Cougars the rest of the way, allowing only two other hits and one other walk while striking out four.

Coupeville’s best chances to score came early when it registered its only two hits off Tyler Fox.

A one-out single and error put Carson Risner on second base in the second inning. Clay Reilly led off the third

inning with a double. Strikeouts and ground

outs ended those threats.The Wolves (9-10) also had

a leadoff walk in the sixth, but that runner was erased on a double play.

Even though his club lost, Coach Willie Smith liked its effort this season: “I thought for all this team went through, they did a good job.”

Early goals hurt“We have a bad habit of

conceding early goals,” Coupeville soccer coach Kyle Nelson said, and that trend continued as Charles Wright (10-3) scored quickly in each half.

Five minutes into the game, the Terriers scored their first goal. Coupeville (3-12) countered with a goal from Abraham Leyva Elenes off an assist from Tanner Kircher, and the teams went

into the break tied 1-1.Just three minutes into the

second half, Charles Wright took the lead for good.

“We had a hard time keep-ing them out from there,” Nelson said.

Sebastian Davis tallied the other Coupeville goal with an assist from Leyva Elenes.

CHS wins 2 titlesJuniors Dalton Martin

and Makana Stone each earned individual titles in Coupeville’s first-ever Olympic League champion-ship track meet.

As a team, the Coupeville girls were seventh and the boys ninth in the 11-team meet. The girls, however, were first and the boys second among the four 1A schools.

North Kitsap, a 2A school, won the boys meet with 128 points; Coupeville finished with 14. The Vikings also won the girls title, scoring 160.5; the Wolves totaled 45.

Martin was the discus champion, tossing the platter 135-10. He also finished fifth in the shot put in 40-05.5.

Stone won the 400 meters (59.68) and finished second in three other events.

She was runner-up in the 200 (27.25) and in the 4x100 (51.72) and 4x200 (1:48.98) relays with Marisa Etzell, Lauren Grove and Sylvia Hurlburt.

Stone’s time in the 400 is the fifth-fastest among 1A runners in Washington this season. The 4x200 mark is the fourth best, and the 4x100 time is ranked eighth.

Hurlburt finished fourth in the 200 (27.87) and eighth in the 100 (13.6).

Skyler Lawrence also had a solid meet for the Coupeville girls, placing fourth in the shot put (28-08.5) and ninth in the discus (86-01).

The Wolves compete in the 1A subdistrict meet at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 16, at Bremerton High School.

Wildcats nab 2ndOak Harbor collected one

individual win in each of the boys and girls track meets at Stanwood as the Wildcats fin-ished second to Lake Stevens in team scoring.

Dejon Devroe, running the 800 for the first time, cap-tured the event in 1:54.66, the fourth fastest 3A time in the state this spring. The mark is only a quarter-second off the leading time.

Jonalynn Horn won the girls’ 3,200 meters (11:52.93). She also claimed one of Oak Harbor’s eight second-place finishes among the girls (1,600, 5:32.4).

The Wildcat boys picked up five second-place finishes. In the 300 hurdles, Jared Gray clocked the state’s fourth-fastest 3A time with a 40.18.

Oak Harbor hosts the Wesco 3A North cham-pionship meet at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, and 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 15.

Softball loses 2In the loss to Arlington,

the Wildcats collected only two hits, singles by Laura Anderson and Alexa Findley, who also drove in a run.

Offense wasn’t a problem at Marysville-Pilchuck. The Wildcats overcame a 10-4 deficit to send the game to extra innings, but M-P pulled out the win with a two-out, bases-loaded home run.

Kelly Findley finished with four hits and four RBI; Tricia Sarns had a single, double and four RBI; Shea Davis rapped three hits; and Alexa Findley and Anderson each had two singles.

Thirteen firefighting candi-dates went up against flames, smoke and heat during a live fire training on North Whidbey Saturday.

Marv Koorn, chief of North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, explained that his department and Oak Harbor Fire jointly put on an academy each year to train new recruits to become volunteer firefighters.

As part of the academy, the

firefighters-in-training have to battle a real fire. On Saturday, firefighters burned down a decrepit house off Ault Field Road; the new owner plans to rebuild.

Over and over again, instruc-tors used pallets to start smoky fires inside the house and a team of recruits dragged a hose inside to put out the con-flagration.

Koorn said they open the door to blinding smoke, fierce heat and a fire that’s just feet away.

“It gets the adrenaline going,” he said.

Oak Harbor City Councilman Joel Servatius donned firefighting gear and went inside to experi-ence firsthand what firefighters go through.

In the end, the interior got so hot that Lt. Ed Klaszky, an instructor, was visibly steam-ing when he exited the house. Koorn said it was a sign that it was time to let the fire go.

Flames consumed the house in mere minutes.

The days of overnight camping at South Whidbey State Park are likely over for good.

Virginia Painter, spokes-woman for the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, confirmed Tuesday that a site plan to be conducted later this year will specifically exam-ine how to transition the campgrounds to a day-use facility only.

The nature of the closure — internal tree rot of old-growth trees — isn’t some-thing that can be easily fixed, leaving little choice but to look for alternatives, she said.

“It doesn’t go away, so it becomes a question of what to do next,” Painter said.

The state agency announced Friday that the campgrounds, nestled in the heart of a 347-acre old-growth park, were deemed unsafe for overnight use due to the hazards of inter-nal tree rot in the surround-ing forest.

Parks staff became aware of the issue in mid-April when they began prepar-ing the campgrounds for its seasonal opening on May 1. Several large Douglas fir trees in the campground had snapped and fallen across campsites.

The camping season runs through Sept. 15.

While the area remains open for day use, such as walking or picnicking at campsites, the normally bustling campgrounds were like a ghost town Tuesday morning. The only person in that part of the park was Freeland resident Keith Anderson, who was there for his morning run on the Beach Trail. He hadn’t heard about the closure but said the state’s precautions seemed reasonable.

“I can see where the state needs to protect itself from liability — and getting sued for $100 million,” Anderson said.

He also supported the decision to keep the area open for day use, saying the risk for injury seems acceptable for all but over-night campers.

Whidbey Island resident and park volunteer host Glenn Vallance, 90, was killed by a falling tree at the park in 2003.

He was returning to his motorhome after grocery shopping in Freeland when a 136-foot fir tree fell on his truck, according to a story in the South Whidbey Record. A state park ranger was quoted in the story as saying the 250-year-old tree that hit Vallance’s car showed no signs of deterio-ration.

The state park is a busy place. During the past fiscal year, June 1, 2013, to July

31, 2014, the park hosted 14,200 overnight campers, generating $97,500 in rev-enue. For calendar year 2014, the park saw a total visitor count of 42,600, which included daytime visitors.

According to Painter, the decision to close wasn’t made lightly. A specialist was consulted and agreed

a safety risk existed. The final decision was made last week; the agency stopped taking reservations Monday, alerted the depart-ment’s online vendor of the closure on Wednesday and began notifying camp-ers with reservations on Thursday. The media was notified late Friday morn-ing.

At least two private groups, Save the Trees and Friends of South Whidbey State Park, knew about the closure beforehand and sent out their own news releases or notifications to members Friday morning. Painter said they were not informed by the agency’s communications depart-ment but may have learned

about the decision from park staff, she said.

The site plan creation process is expected to begin in late summer early fall, Painter said.

User groups may work with agency planners, and at least one public meet-ing is expected to be held though dates have not yet been set.

Campground closes at S. Whidbey State Park

Photo by Justin Burnett/Whidbey News Group

Freeland resident Keith Anderson walks through empty campgrounds at South Whidbey State Park Tuesday. The grounds, which usually open May 1, were closed due the presence of tree rot. It’s in enough trees to present a safety hazard to overnight campers, the Washington State Parks and Recreation commissioner has decided.

The 21st Oak Harbor Farmers Market begins Thursday.

The market will go 4-7 p.m. in the space near the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce on Highway 20.

At least four farmers have confirmed they will attend this week’s market, said Peg Tennant, who manages both the Oak Harbor and Coupeville farmers markets.

“As the crops get ready, more farmers

show up,” Tennant said.About 60 varieties of tomato plants will be

on sale.Dorothy Mueller of Bell’s Farm said she

will be selling a new crop of spinach, but it’s too early for local strawberries.

Raffle tickets also will be on sale all season long for a quilt made by a vendor.

Proceeds will go toward purchasing back-packs for Oak Harbor students, Tennant said.

Oak Harbor market opens Thursday

someone’s calling my name, ‘Kar-la!’”

Remnants of Oak Harbor’s quiet, rural country charm of decades past are harder to find these days in a city that is celebrating its centennial anniversary this week.

Founded in 1851 as one of Washington’s earliest white settlements, the city wasn’t incorporated until 1915.

Yet, it was an event a quar-ter century later that impacted Oak Harbor most, and literally altered the city’s landscape, with the arrival of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and the growth that ensued.

“It’s definitely grown,” said Carl Freund, Karla’s husband and the great-great nephew of Ulrich Freund, one of Oak Harbor’s founders.

“I’ve seen it grow up from almost nothing,” said Earle Darst, 96, a retired bulb farm-er and descendent of an Oak Harbor pioneer. “I remember when it was a little town like Coupeville and then it grew up after the Navy came.”

Oak Harbor’s population hovered around 400 in the 1920s and 30s when boat trav-el was the only way to reach Whidbey Island.

Deception Pass bridge was opened in 1935, ending the reliance on ferries to get to and from the mainland.

A major shift in Oak Harbor’s rural landscape came in the early 1940s when the U.S. government pur-chased land from farmers near Crescent Harbor, Maylor Point and Clover Valley and began construction of a naval seaplane base and air field.

“That was the turning point in the history of Oak Harbor,” said Peggy Darst Townsdin, who wrote three books chron-icling the city’s history.

“Harvey Hill, a historian in town, wrote that when the Navy came everyone was

working and everybody had money in their pockets. There were jobs for everybody.”

Oak Harbor continued to maintain its small town character, however, for sev-eral decades, and in some respects, still does to this day.

Some of the city’s institu-tions such as the Kow Korner, Blue Fox Drive-In Theater and Roller Barn arrived on the scene in the 1950s.

The drive-in and roller rink still remain as family tradi-tions while the Kow Korner lasted until the turn of the century.

Fast food chains started arriv-ing in Oak Harbor in the 1970s.

Walmart came in 1998.“My earliest recollections of

Oak Harbor was this charm-ing little farming community,” said Rick Castellano, execu-tive director of the Island County Historic Society.

Castellano grew up in Port Townsend but spent time as a sales representative in Oak Harbor during his college years.

“It hadn’t changed much until McDonald’s came to town,” he said, referring to the mid 1970s. “That’s when it started becoming a city.”

Oak Harbor is currently a city of about 22,000 that still celebrates many longtime tra-ditions and festivals from its Dutch and Irish heritage and makes it a point to recognize is connection to the Navy.

“One of the things where we’ve been very fortunate is we have a good relation-ship with the Navy that has been steadily growing,” said Al Koetje, an Oak Harbor native who was mayor of the city from 1972-96. “The city kind of grows with it. It’s very apparent that we appreciate having them as part of our community.”

Staying connected to its his-tory also is important to Oak Harbor residents and busi-ness owners as is evidenced by the recent makeover of the city’s historic downtown and continued efforts to revitalize

that part of town.However, growth and devel-

opment often won out over historic preservation in Oak Harbor as opposed to other communities on the island.

Carl Freund holds dear memories of the dairy farm his father and grandfather ran on the property where he grew up.

But, over time, portions of the farm that once covered 160 acres were sold, making way for commercial ventures like Walmart, Safeway, and Haggen.

Freund still jumps on a trac-tor and mows the grass regu-

larly on part of the family’s remaining acreage while his wife tends to the garden.

The farmhouse his great-great-uncle, great-grand-parents, grandparents and parents once lived in is hid-den by an overgrown hedge and weeping willow that he remembers starting as a suck-er from a giant that had fallen.

Ultimately, however, he sees what’s left of the farm on the hill disappearing. Some of the land is zoned for resi-dences.

“It’s the economics of it,” Freund said. “It has to be developed.”

appointed to the position in 2013. Fey also filed for the seat.

Carnahan hadn’t previous-ly announced her intention to run.

She has worked in medi-cal administration and bill-ing for more than 15 years. Currently employed at Rue and Primavera Rehabilitation in Oak Harbor, she also worked part-time at Whidbey General Hospital during her career.

Carnahan said she loves the hospital, but feels the administration could use restructuring to encourage more team work.

“It really is all about the patient,” Carnahan said.

Carnahan said she is run-ning because she believes in the importance of the hospi-tal but believes it could better serve the community.

“I firmly believe the hos-pital needs to be here,” Carnahan said. “I don’t want

to see it fall apart. There need to be changes so the com-munity gets the service it deserves.

“The complacency gets to be too much.”

Coupeville resident Georgia Gardner, an incum-bent hospital commis-sioner, filed for reelection. Greenbank resident Ron Born announced last week that he is challenging her, but he hadn’t filed as of noon Tuesday.

Oak Harbor School Board has three seats up for re-election and one new candi-date so far.

Both Peter Hunt and Christine Abbott filed to run again. So far no one has filed to challenge them.

Christine Cribb’s seat is also up for re-election, but she said she doesn’t plan to run again. She said her duties as executive director at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce demand her full attention.

Robert Hallahan filed Tuesday to run for Cribb’s open seat. This is his first time running for elected

office. He retired from the Navy and is now an airline pilot. He and his wife have two high-school-age children who are home-schooled and enrolled in the Running Start program, which allows high-school students to take col-leges for high school and col-lege credit.

There were no surprises for the City of Oak Harbor posi-tions so far. Councilmen Jim Campbell and Bob Severns filed for mayor, as previously announced. Councilwoman Beth Munns and Councilman Rick Almberg filed for reelec-tion.

Councilwoman Tara Hizon hadn’t filed by press time, but previously said she will run again.

All five seats on North Whidbey Parks and Recreation are on the ballot this year.

Current commissioner Donna Sue Holly was first to file; she didn’t file for her own seat, but for position No. 1, a four-year seat held by board chairman Sean Merrill.

Merrill said he doesn’t plan to seek reelection.

Wendy Shingleton said she also plans to file for reelec-tion to the parks and recre-ation board. Dave Smith, who held position No. 5, recently resigned from his seat. Board member Steve Hoffmire didn’t return calls.

The way things are shap-ing up, Coupeville may see an all-female council with

a female mayor starting in January.

Coupeville transplant Catherine Ballay was the first candidate to file for Coupeville Town Council on Monday.

Ballay, who moved to Coupeville from Virginia three years ago, said she decided to run after learn-

ing how much transition the council will be going through next year.

Ballay filed for Position 3, which is being vacated by Molly Hughes, who is run-ning for mayor.

“I love Coupeville,” Ballay said. “I can see the need for business and tourism, but not too fast or out of our control.”

a hospital that has been troubled financially and has taken a few hits to its reputation. The hospital has operated in the red for the last few years and the 2015 budget adopted in November estimated a $5 million short fall.

Forbes said a Monday interview that the financials are looking better this year than last and that it is a main goal to bring the public hospitals back up to a “neutral” or break-even status.

“We’ll have peaks and valleys but as long as the trend is moving up, I’m satisfied,” Forbes said.

Hospital critics have complained over the years about the inaccessibility of former CEO Tom Tomasino and his administration. The hospital district was further rocked last year when its chief nursing officer was accused, and then acquitted, of assault on a mentally ill patient.

During her first three weeks, Forbes said she has spent a lot of time “rounding” or spending time getting to know the nurses and doctors on staff, according to Anne Tarrant, president of the hospital’s board of commis-sioners.

Forbes describes herself as a “collabora-tive” type of leader who aims to listen to staff on the front lines in order to build strong teams that can initiate improvements.

Forbes said her hope is that, between outreach to staff and the community, she’ll be able to find ways to best improve services.

“We’re a small hospital,” Forbes said. “We need to be there for the community, not just when they’re sick but also to keep them well.”

Forbes said she has already begun efforts to reach out to other community organiza-tions, including Island County Public Health, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and Oak Harbor Naval Hospital. Her aim is to initiate programs that encourage health and but also help the publicly funded agencies do more with less.

“The base is going to be growing,” Forbes said of the new squadrons arriving over the next couple of years. “We’ve all got to have a program for that.”

Given the county’s large retired population,

Forbes said she wants to see more services geared toward the elderly.

Very few adults want to move into a retire-ment home as they age and would rather stay in their homes, Forbes said.

In keeping with the “age in place” trend, Forbes said she believes “there are more things we can create and help the elderly stay in their homes.”

Tarrant said the board agreed during its Monday meeting that Forbes’ “fresh perspec-tive” will be a boon for the public hospital.

“It’s nice to have someone who doesn’t have a history,” Tarrant said. “She can look at the organization as a whole and offer a whole new set of solutions.

“And she’s doing that.”The new CEO is also playing close atten-

tion to the upcoming construction of the new hospital wing, Tarrant said.

“She’s been through this before” at pre-vious hospitals, Tarrant said, adding she’s impressed with Forbes’ “total grasp of our project even though she’s only been here three weeks.”

“Over all, we’re just pleased to have her on board as our CEO,” Tarrant said.
