The lawyer for former Coupeville deputy marshal Hodges Gowdey says a “ruse” was used to get his client to make

self-incriminating statements.During an evidentiary hearing

Friday, attorney Chris Skinner said that Gowdey’s statements during an inter-view with Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner

should be inadmissible because they were gathered under false pretense.

A man died Wednesday after he was struck by a sport utility vehicle on State Highway 20 while try-ing to cross the road on a motorized bicycle.

The accident occurred at 3:40 p.m. about a half-mile north of Oak Harbor city limits, said Mark Francis, public information officer for Washington State Patrol.

The victim, Kelly Wayne Shields, 49, of Anacortes, was leaving the parking lot of Liberty Market when he attempted to cross the highway, according to State Patrol reports.

Francis said Brian K. Williams, 52, of Burlington was driving in a Black Ford Expedition Northbound on Highway 20 when Shields pulled out in front of him.

“He tried to slam on his brakes, but couldn’t fast enough,” Francis said.

Shields died at the scene.

Oak Harbor School District is looking to expand music education for students.

Starting in the 2014-15 school year, the middle schools hope to be able to offer fifth grade band classes during first period for the elementary students.

“One of the things that I had heard as a pri-ority for many of our families was expanding opportunities for kids to be involved with extra-curricular programs,” said Superintendent Lance Gibbon, who approached the middle school band teachers with this idea.

“One area that I heard from parents specifi-cally was wanting to give kids more opportu-nities...to be involved with music.”

These classes will be taught by Patrick Manuel at Oak Harbor Middle School and Andrew Judd at North Whidbey Middle School.

Should there be enough interest in the pro-gram, buses will transport the fifth graders to the middle schools in the morning at the same time as other middle school students. Then, after that class, buses will take the students back to their elementary schools in time for that school day to start.

“It gives them a chance to actually feel what it’s like to be a middle school student for one period of the day,” said Manuel. “They get kind of a preview about what the future is going to be like in middle school.”

Whether the program is officially estab-lished depends on the amount of interest in it.

Judd said that he’s hoping for approxi-

mately 60 students between the two schools to sign up.

As of Friday morning, North Whidbey Middle School had “about 16 signed up,” according to Judd. Oak Harbor Middle School had 41.

Both teachers said they are hoping for class sizes of about 25 to 30 students. In response to the growing number of students signing up, however, Manuel said, “The more the merrier.”

Deadline to sign up for this program was end of the day on Friday.

Gibbon said that the program would be before school in order to still allow those students to participate in existing after-school activities like sports, so there won’t be that scheduling conflict.

“This program is an opportunity for stu-dents to do an extra band class,” said Judd. “This is outside of the normal curriculum and that will start them early … this is an opportu-nity for students who want to excel.”

This program would be an elective so that students who didn’t want to participate could still start band in sixth grade, Judd said.

“It feels really good, in that if feels like we’re supported,” Judd said. “We’re given an oppor-tunity to flourish.”

Manuel said that programs like this one are great opportunities for the students.

“Band and electives are great for the kids,” he said. “It gives them a reason to come to school, it’s a nice break for their other aca-demic subjects and, plain and simple, band is good for children.”

District looking to expand band program to 5th grade

New ferry celebration June 8 at Clinton terminal

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

It’s done, it looks great and the MV Salish Responder is now officially in service.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS’s new fireboat was christened in a ceremony at South Whidbey Harbor Saturday morning. About 50 people attended the event, including a handful of fire district, port and city elected officials. The actual christen-ing, accomplished with a bottle of champaign, was per-formed by Clinton resident and former fireman, Lanny Workman.

“It was an honor to be asked to do it, for an old guy like me,” said Workman, in an interview after the event.

A retired battalion chief, Workman founded the fire district marine response unit in 1982. They started out with an inflatable, which he said was versatile but lacked the capabilities of the new 32-foot aluminum catamaran. The Salish Responder is armed with two saltwater water can-nons that can douse fires from 350 feet away.

“It’s a great boat,” Workman said. “It will serve the community well.”

Fire Chief Rusty Palmer

echoed those sentiments, saying the vessel represents an unprecedented increase in the fire district’s marine response capabilities.

There are roughly 400 waterfront homes within South Whidbey Fire/EMS’s current boundaries. Some are difficult for fire engines to reach or have limited water supply, making the new boat — it uses saltwater for its water cannons — a powerful tool in the district’s firefight-ing arsenal. Along with the two mounted cannons, the boat also has multiple ports for hand lines, allowing the boat to be beached and fire-fighters to attack a blaze on foot.

Powered by twin 450 horse-power water-jet engines — it has no propellors — the ves-sel can also respond quickly to marine emergencies as far away as Coupeville. Had the boat been in service when the Deep Sea burned in Penn Cove in 2012, the vessel could have been on scene within 30 minutes, Palmer said.

Finally, catamarans are stable platforms that can operate in weather conditions too extreme for the fire dis-trict’s existing rigid inflatable marine unit.

“We have so much more

capability today than we did yesterday,” Palmer said.

The vessel’s name was unveiled during Saturday’s christening. Palmer said com-ing up with Salish Responder proved challenging. The initial plan to have the boat named by South Whidbey students resulted in only two suggestions, and a request to the community saw similar returns. In the end, it was a collaborative effort among district officials, he said.

The boat’s builder, Tim Leonard of Freeland-based North Cross Aluminum, said

the christening was a long-time coming, but that he was proud of the finished prod-uct and to see the vessel in service.

“Now I can pat the guys on the back,” Leonard said. “The boys did a great job.”

He added that it was nice hearing the complimentary comments of fire district offi-cials, but that the greatest reward will be when the boat saves a life or a home, the job is was designed to do.

“As a builder, that’s where you want to see it perform,” Leonard said.

The Public Disclosure Commission has cleared Island County commission-er candidate Karla Jacks of violating fundraising requirements.

A complaint against Jacks, a Democrat, was filed by the staff of Republican commissioner candidate Marc Hennemann.

Hennemann’s camp accused her of not collect-ing employer data for con-tributions over $100. For contributions under $100, those donating must sim-ply provide a name and address.

“The complaint does not provide any evidence that any of the individual con-tributors gave over $100,” said a letter by the PDC dated May 23.

“For this reason, the PDC will not be conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursu-ing enforcement action in this case.”

The sticking point for the PDC was the rule that contributors can give “up to” $100 without collecting employer data, according to Andrea McNamara Doyle, PDC executive director.

The employer data requirement kicks in at $101 or more, she said.

Tony Wallace, Hennemann’s campaign manager, filed the com-plaint and listed several

donors reported by Jacks on the PDC website who gave exactly $100 where employer data was not col-lected.

Wallace said he filed the complaint based on conver-sations he had with PDC staff, who did not make the “up to” $100 rule clear to him.

Jacks called the com-plaint “frivolous” in a pre-pared statement released Wednesday.

“We did not believe it was frivolous,” Wallace responded Thursday. “We filed in good faith because we felt there was cause.”

Wallace said he does not anticipate Hennemann’s camp to refile the complaint based on the new informa-tion, but he has yet to speak to a PDC representative.

“I had every confidence we were in full compli-ance,” Jacks said in the prepared statement. “Even the best systems can be improved, of course, and we have tweaked our data collection process to make it even more transparent.”

Jacks’ staffer Bill Phillips described the PDC com-plaint was a political ploy.

“Campaigns sometimes lob complaints in order to slow their opponent’s momentum,” Phillips said. “It rarely works unless there’s real substance to the complaint, which this clearly lacked.”

South Whidbey fire boat adds options for waterfront assistance

Fourteen Oak Harbor High School students were honored recently by the Career and Technical Education program.

Every semester, each CTE class picks a student to be the Student of the Semester. At the end of the school year, the entire department picks two to recognize as Students of the Year.

Jasmyn Maier and Gabe Groenig, both seniors at the high school, were named the Students of the Year.

Maier, who was also named Student of the Semester for her yearbook class, was named student of the year for her involve-ment in yearbook and Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.

“It’s really unexpect-ed,” Maier said. “More so because I didn’t know people noticed. It’s an honor.”

Maier said that qualities of a Student of the Year should be integrity and a good work ethic.

Groenig said leadership and dedication are also important.

“It’s really all about how dedicated you are to your department, to your school,” he said.

Groenig was named student of the year for his involvement with DECA. He’s been involved in other CTE programs, including photography, video produc-tion and with a program used in the architectural and engineering departments, but his main department is DECA, which he says takes up most of his time.

“I go out to Seattle like, two times a month at least, just for DECA things,” he said. “I’ve done stuff in Oak Harbor trying to help next year … and also helping and trying to make us sufficient so we’re not trying to ask for funds from CTE or from the school district or the com-munity.”

Being named CTE Student of the Year is an honor given in recognition for all the hard work he’s been doing, said Groenig.

“I was very elated,” he said. “It’s really nice to have a bit of recognition from the school.”

Each department recog-nizes a student of the month, and chooses a student of the semester from those who have earned that title.

Groenig said that in DECA, it usually honored students who stood out in that particular month, and because he’s “always been so involved in DECA that it was never like, one month that I stood out, so I never got student of the month.”

Sandee Oehring, the CTE director, said that Maier and Groenig were easy choices for student of the year.

“Both of them exemplify what we’d want our com-munity or a university to think back and go ‘Wow, this kid went to Oak Habor High School,’” said Oehring. “They are excellent repre-sentatives of our school … they’re able to take a hold of something and set a really good example for other stu-dents, and that’s what we’re looking for.”

Oehring said that the qualities the departments

look for in the Students of the Year and Students of the Semester are “leadership, employability skills, work-manship, punctuality, work habit skills, that sort of thing that would represent our department really well.”

The students of the semester are listed below.

Jackson Wezeman for Robotics and Automation, Kai Ahner for Metal Fabrication, Robert Thomas for Culinary Arts, Race Finnegan for Business Education, Christian Rowe for Contruction/Woods, Linsey Beumer for Human Body & Internship, Zach Johnson for NJROTC, Kali Linson for Retail Management, Patrick Anderson for Advanced Automotive, Claire Hovde for Engineering, Ryan Hughes for Sports Medicine & Internship, Taylor White for Video/Broadcast Communication and Jasmyn Maier for Yearbook.

† Joy • Cheer • Love • Peace †

When planning our wedding 33 years ago, Matt and I chose a Bible verse found in 1 John as the theme for our wedding ceremony and life together:

We love because He first loved us.Over the years, our understanding

of God’s incredible gift of love has deepened as we raised three kids and worked through the accompanying disappointments, struggles, grief and

challenges modern life in America hands each one of us.While gratitude has always filled my heart and profound

contentment blossomed in response to the love that has surrounded me, I always believed that I exercised my love and served those around me in customary ways.

It bothered me that I might never trust God enough to lead me on a path to love in ways that were utterly scary and untested.

Two years ago, Matt and I learned there was an Oak Harbor High School freshman who had been removed from a chaotic home and taken into foster care.

For the first time in her life, she had lived in one com-munity for an entire school year, bonding with school staff and making friends. However, the family she was living with was struggling personally and there was not one home in Oak Harbor available to take her in.

Scheduled to move off island, she was devastated.We understood almost in an instant what task lay before

us: to take a lifetime of gratitude and exercise the power of transforming love with someone we did not know.

To pay it forward. To model our faith in ways we had never before considered. Or talked about. Or planned for. To trust God in ways we never had and observe love in action.

When I walked into the local Department of Social and Health Services office and offered our home, they looked at me with great suspicion, as they should.

In time, after interviews and background checks, home visits, training and a period of time where social workers, court-appointed Special Advocates for Children volunteers and attorneys observed us interact, a spunky and moti-vated 15-year-old was placed in our home on a permanent basis through a court order from a local superior court judge.

While parenting our own children felt stressful and worrisome many times throughout the years, we didn’t experience the midnight terrors we did when we gained a “bonus” child and became “bonus” parents.

We had no life experiences for such a task and did not want to fail her. She longed to be accepted and under-stood; so did we. We were complicated puzzles to each other and our natural reactions were based on opposing life experiences.

Late into the night, my husband and I would replay con-versations and strategize how we might better serve her.

And we walked this path without our usual crowd, as some of the people in our lives understood our decision to foster while others were respectful but concerned.

Each time terror or doubt kept us awake, I visualized taking our worries, setting them in a basket and handing them over to God. “Transform us, these worries and our lives,” I’d pray.

Today that basket is filling with gratitude.Daily, I give God thanks for the honor of the task. The

joy. And the opportunity to witness the gifts of His trans-forming love.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITORMarathon

Sipes’ contract should be extended and increasedEditor,

I don’t even know how to start this letter. I am getting so emotional just thinking about what’s going on in Oak Harbor.

The oak tree was bad enough. My poor husband had to listen to my rant-ing for days.

Now the marathon director gets attacked. I am just shaking my head, wondering if Mayor Scott Dudley has any positive vision for Oak Harbor.

This cannot be serious.My husband and I have run this race

multiple times. This year, we immedi-ately agreed that this was the best ever.

We planned on mailing Tamra Sipes our respect and acknowledge her effort to pull this excellent event off, but life’s pace made us forget. She put on an amazing race that proved her outstand-ing organizational skills.

The participants we talked to all voiced the same opinion: “Excellent!” I cannot recall that they were “friends”

of Sipes.What a weird comment from the

mayor, anyway.We complete numerous races a

year and are able to compare to other events. I was so pleased to see: race course videos; participants list orga-nized according to age group, posted days before the race; clear communi-cation about details runners need to know and worry about; complimentary race photos offered; and the kids race.

Ms. Sipes made some money. Well, obviously she deserved it. We live in a society where hard work, risk taking and great effort get rewarded.

Don’t we?These are exactly the reasons that

her income is justified. Is there a per-sonal problem that is about to overrule the public opinion on this race and its race director? Be professional, Mr. Mayor.

The mayor should be proud that this thoroughly organized event happened in his town. He was there, all smiles.

Oak Harbor made a name for itself. Runners came from numerous states and countries, and they will be back and more will come, because great events attract great crowds.

Oak Harbor could use this momen-tum and build on it: become “Running

Central” on Whidbey. One could build more businesses around it, attract more people on weekends, holidays and vacation for smaller events, run-ning series, camps, etc.

There is a lot of very capable poten-tial in town that should be used to expand this success, and obviously Ms. Sipes has proven experience to coordi-nate something like this.

Her contract should for sure be extended and a bonus for attracting more participants be included since the city will benefit from greater numbers, too.

Obviously, the mayor wants to follow a different logic, a logic that I cannot see. A logic that says: Don’t become successful in Oak Harbor — you might lose your job.

Move annual race from a Sunday to SaturdayEditor,

Did you hear the starting pistol? The annual Best of Whidbey is

underway.A true reader’s choice awards, win-

ners proudly display their certificates won over the years in their respective businesses. You also see the official Best of Whidbey logo in advertising.

It’s a fun, lighthearted competition that celebrates many of the great things our island community has to offer.

Wednesday’s newspaper saw the return of a paper bal-lot. For a number of years, the competition was online only. By reintroducing a paper ballot, our intent was to reach out to those people who aren’t Internet savvy or who simply prefer voting the old fashioned way.

It also recognizes the Best of Whidbey’s beginnings as a newspaper contest.

The ballot is publishing in the paper only once. The remainder of the contest will be voted online.

There is no requirement that a business or organization buy an ad or pay any money whatsoever to be nominated or win Best of Whidbey. None. Nada. Zip.

There is no fee for anyone to complete a ballot and turn it in.

In fact, from amongst all of the ballots that are submit-ted, someone will be randomly drawn to win a $100 gift certificate to an outstanding Whidbey Island restaurant.

While businesses all across Whidbey Island have been recognized and won Best of Whidbey in the past, this year’s contest more purposefully reaches out to all of Whidbey Island, from bridge to ferry.

The paper ballots appeared in the Whidbey News-Times, The Whidbey Examiner and South Whidbey Record. The electronic ballots are located on each of the newspapers’ websites.

Reader’s choice awards are not new by any means, and the Best of Whidbey dates back many years. Interest in competing — and winning — has grown tremendously.

There are people who take Best of Whidbey very seri-ously, and others, not so much. There’s no right or wrong way to approach it. It is not a scientific survey and doesn’t pretend to be.

Ultimately, the objective of the contest is for every-one to have fun while offering deserved kudos to some amazing people, places, services, food and products on Whidbey Island.

If you haven’t voted already, log on and complete your ballot today.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMNBy KEVEN R. GRAVES

Puerto Rico to Hawaii and most of the states.

In 2003, I ran my first half marathon and it happened to be the Whidbey Marathon.

I had minor heart surgery and, as a single mom, I wanted to show my kids that no matter what happens in life, you can do whatever you set your heart to do.

I ran the half for two years and moved away for three years and came back to Whidbey Island to live in Oak Harbor, which I have called my home.

I automatically looked up to run the half again, but was saddened that the route had changed, as did the fee. I did, and do, train with the runners group sponsored through the Navy with Brad Sanford.

I did the half this year only because the fee was affordable, but I found the route to be boring and on a Sunday.

My question is, why on Sunday, when most of us have to work the next day?

I know I didn’t do the whole, but I can just imagine how much more sore the runners were who did run the whole.

They host the 5K run/walk and 10K on the Saturday before the mara-thon. Why not reverse the schedule?

If the same price is offered on a Saturday next year, I will run again.

I am pretty sure if you asked all the runners if they prefer Saturday, you would get a big “yes.”

Or give the half marathoners the choice of starting at Deception Pass for a nicer scene instead of running through town and holding up traffic.

Past marathons included routes ending in Coupeville.

I believe that I am very fortunate and blessed to live in a postcard. I have traveled for 30 years and this is the only place I call my home.

I do agree with Mayor Scott Dudley on having a “beer garden” after the race.

I know for a fact that most run-ners would enjoy and appreciate a nice cold beer while nursing sore muscles.

COER claims debunked, true motives revealedEditor,

I write this on Memorial Day.What are the true motives of the

Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve? They say noise, health and safety … OK, we will come back to this.

They “claim” they are not anti-military, yet desire for the military to just go away.

They fly the American flag upside-down outside the Outlying Field, slap-ping the face of every active duty and veteran service member.

Their latest tactic, one they have been using on the sly, is stamping currency with slogans. Some asking the military to go away “To China Lake,” and now one that compares “Military $ervice I$ Welfare In Uniform,” the use of the dollar signs being intentional.

This is a direct slam on the brave service members everywhere.

Some of our local businesses have started to speak out on their own Facebook pages on this. A cursory glance at the Whidbey News-Times comment pages tells us who is most likely responsible for this, in fact, has been spouting these very slogans.

Perhaps the COER president should have realized this before snug-gling up for photo ops?

Not once has any member of COER condemned these slams, ergo, they must condone them. This shows how far their claim of “pro-military” goes.

Now, back to their other claims. Health and safety. A much debated

topic. Seems all their claims have fallen well short of the “smell-test.” All COER claims have been well debunked as sophistry or non-appli-cable.

The claims of harm to children is outright “unconscionable,” as the very children they claim are being harmed are not only excelling in their studies, but are speaking out against these claims themselves.

Perhaps this is why the COER has no medical professionals and pos-sesses lawyers instead?

Seems we are left with noise.As many of whom now complain-

ing have signed noise disclosures, or bought their properties sight unseen, this just looks like buyer’s remorse.

Some who were here before the disclosures have complained about the noise for decades, disproving any claim that this is about the Growlers.

All in all, their sophistry is dis-missed, their claims are debunked, their true desires are exposed. Self-serving comfort at the expense of all others.

Now, we can expect another con-descending letter from the COER president, but that, too, should be dismissed for what it is.

COER is exposed for what it is. Its members are not the “champions of the people” they seem to portray themselves as, but selfish, spoiled NIMBYs whose arguments have failed.

Economy

Bridge allows for business off islandEditor,

A week ago I wrote a letter giving suggestions for improving commerce on Pioneer Way. My last suggestion, given tongue in cheek, was to shut down Deception Pass Bridge to vehi-cle traffic.

A couple online comments sug-gested I need a psychiatric evaluation as the bridge is the reason for com-merce in Oak Harbor.

If the bridge is the reason Oak Harbor remains viable, why do we have a higher rental vacancy rate than communities on the other side of the bridge? Why do we have store closures left and right? Why do more people go off island for medical care than come to Whidbey for medical care?

I contend that more commerce leaves the island than is returned due to the bridge.

The Navy doesn’t need the bridge to survive. It is self contained and anything the Navy doesn’t have could be offered up by the local community.

In fact, the Navy base would be more secure with only one way in and one way out. One of the reasons for having the Navy here is to help the local commerce.

The bridge, however, allows Navy personnel to go off island for housing and shopping.

On a personal note – I live 10 min-utes north of Oak Harbor, but I do 80 percent of my shopping off island as there is more to offer a shopper in the Mount Vernon/Burlington area.

If you don’t believe me, just count the Canadian license plates in that area vs. Oak Harbor.

Ten percent of my shopping is online. The other 10 percent is done in Oak Harbor to supplement my gro-ceries or to go to the few businesses that I really like. I can’t imagine that folks off the island would do 80 per-cent of their shopping in Oak Harbor because there is a bridge. That’s not going to happen, sorry. But it hap-pens the other way.

We all know the bridge will stay open to vehicle traffic as long as it is safe for it to allow it. But the miscon-ceived notion that the bridge brings commerce into Oak Harbor is just that – misconceived.

The only reason Oak Harbor has the economy it has is due to the Navy base – and that has nothing to do with a bridge.

The bridge is a classic, “if you build it they will come.” But, in Oak Harbor’s case, it’s “if you build it they will go.”

Richard Allen McCormickRichard Allen McCormick,

69, of Greenbank, Wash., passed away Monday, May 12, 2014, from complications of pneumonia.

He was born on Feb. 10, 1945, in Chattanooga, Tenn., to James and Margaret McCormick. He is preced-ed in death by his brother, James, and is survived by his wife, Lynda S. McCormick.

Richard lived in Tennessee, Washington, Las Vegas and Cape Coral/Fort Myers, Fla.

In 2005, Richard and his wife retired to Whidbey Island. Richard served honor-ably in the U.S. Army at Fort Lewis during the Vietnam era. He was a career firefight-er for the Clark County Fire Department in Las Vegas, Nev., from 1970 until 1991.

Prior to that, he was an auto mechanic and old cars were his passion. He was often seen tinkering under the hood of a car, and he was accomplished at auto body restoration and painting.

Among his favorites were a 1967 Shelby GT 500, a 1956 Studebaker and a 1938 Chevy coupe.

Richard was a devoted hus-band, who married Lynda in April 1980. They shared many happy times snow ski-ing, scuba diving and riding motorcycles together.

Richard also enjoyed time with their pets, reading, working in the yard, barbecu-ing and cooking. He was a good and kind man who was always willing to lend a hand to a neighbor or friend or animal in need.




Beatrice Whittaker

Beatrice “Betty” Edwards Whittaker, born Aug. 20, 1917, in Madison, Wisc., to Frank and Beatrice Edwards, gently passed away after a brief illness on May 3, 2014, in Lynden, Wash.

When she was 18 months old, a train hit the family’s Model T Ford and fatally injured her mother.

Despite this rough start, which also included a bout of polio at age 8, she went on to greatly enrich the lives of all who knew her.

Raised by her father and stepmother, as well as her grandmother in Fort Atkinson, Betty attended Whitewater State Teachers’ College, graduating with a degree in business educa-tion.

Her first position was two years of teaching high school in the small farm town of Melrose. In 1942, she escaped the cold

Whittaker

Wisconsin winters and fol-lowed an aunt to sunny Southern California. Betty especially loved being part of the building of Liberty Ships and rubbing shoul-ders with the movie stars who attended the launch-ings.

Through the introduction of a mutual friend, Betty met and married ex-Navy officer, Texaco chemist and ama-teur orchid grower Horace E. Whittaker in June 1951.

Together, they raised two sons, David and Brian. She eventually resumed teach-ing business education at the local junior college and evening classes at the near-by high school.

Eighteen years later, the family moved to Carpinteria, Calif., where she and Horace took on the fresh challenge of operating an avocado orchard, expanding it to include semi-tropical fruits as well as kiwi fruit, a new crop in that region.

While in Carpinteria, she successfully operated her own business, sell-ing Neo-Life vitamins, and was active in the Forest Home Christian Women’s Auxiliary, Soroptimist International and the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History.

In 1988, Betty and Horace sold the “ranch” and moved to Oak Harbor to be closer to family.

There, she and Horace continued their love of all things horticultural by turn-

ing the undeveloped ground around their house into a garden paradise, incorporat-ing a great variety of flora in with ponds, bridges and arbors.

They were involved in activities at First Reformed Church, the Whidbey Island Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society and Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens.

Horace passed away sud-denly in 1998, and in 2007, Betty moved to Lynden. She lived at Meadow Greens Retirement Community and greatly enjoyed the new friends she made there and through Third Christian Reformed Church.

She is survived by David and Deborah Whittaker of North Hollywood, Calif.; Brian and Patty Whittaker of Ferndale, Wash.; grand-children Paul (Marisa), David and Karin (Nathan); and great-grandchildren Nate and Cora. Throughout her long and full life, Betty expressed endless enthu-siasm for all that is good in people and daily demon-strated how to live in grace.

In lieu of flowers, dona-tions may be made to Betty’s favorite charities: World Vision, Doctors without Borders, Christian Broadcasting Network and Prison Fellowship. A memo-rial service is planned for 3 p.m. Monday, July 7, 2014, at the Third Christian Reformed Church in Lynden.

You may share your thoughts and memories of Betty in the online guest book at www.farewelltrib-utes.com Arrangements are through Moles Farewell Tributes in Lynden.

Mary K. Wood

Mary Katheryne Wood, 58, of Coupeville passed away Monday May 19, 2014, in Seattle. She was born Aug. 8, 1955, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Kenneth and Katheryne Busboom.

She married Randal Wood on July 23, 1983. Mary earned her bach-elor’s degree from North Central University in 2013. She served in the U.S. Navy from 1981 to 1985, and then served in the USNR from 1985 to 1987.

Mary was an electronic technician, contract sup-port for A6, EA6B, EF-18 aircraft flight simulators. Mary was a member of Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, Whidbey Community Chorus, American Rabbit Breeders Association and the 1996 Lilac Rabbit Club Top 10.

She had several hobbies: reading, knitting, wire jew-elry, computer games, wine tasting and hot air balloon-ing.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Kathryne, and sister Jean Stone. Mary is sur-vived by her husband of 31 years, Randal Wood; two brothers, Kenneth Busboom Jr. and Joseph Busboom; and two sisters, Janet Chartier and Rebecca Anderson.

Services will be held 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 31, 2014, at the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, 1253 NW 2nd Ave., Oak Harbor, WA 98277, with burial to follow at Maple Leaf Cemetery.

Services are entrusted to Burley Funeral Chapel.

GAME OF THE WEEK The Oak Harbor Legion baseball team hosts Nooksack Valley at noon Saturday, May 31.SPORTS

WHIDBEY

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Coupeville’s Christine Fields and Oak Harbor’s Joanna Leete added another chapter to their impres-sive high school golf careers with

top-six finishes in their respective state tournaments Wednesday and Thursday, May 28 and 29.

Both recorded school-best finish-es for a female golfer at state.

In other state golf action, Oak Harbor’s Mac Kerfoot tied for 40th

in the state boys 3A tournament at the Tri-Mountain Golf Course in Ridgefield, and Oak Harbor’s Bree Roderos, Leete’s teammate, tied for 42nd in the girls 3A meet.

Fields finished fifth in the 1A finals at the Spanaway Lake Golf Course, shooting a 173 (84/89). It was the second top-10 placing for the junior. She was eighth as a fresh-man and 15th last season.

“Wednesday she played strong,” said her father, Mike Fields. “We’ve been building consistency back into her swing and that really showed Wednesday. She still had a few missed opportunities, but she took advantage of most.

“Thursday she started off the front great again but failed to get that spark she normally gets while playing the back nine,” he added. “Too many missed putts and no pars on her second nine Thursday left her with a higher score than she would have liked. She is still very pleased with taking fifth place and sees it as a good opening to her summer season.”

Elma’s Lauryn Keating won the 1A tournament with a 151 (78/73).

Fields finished 13 strokes out of fourth and two strokes ahead of sixth-place Rosie Portillo, a training partner from South Whidbey High School.

Leete closed out her stellar Oak Harbor career by placing sixth with a 164 (82/82), two strokes out of fourth, at the Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland.

The previous top Oak Harbor finish was Lisa Wasinger’s eighth-place in 1996. Leete placed ninth last spring.

Leete is a four-time state qualifier and three-time all-Wesco first-team selection. The past two seasons she won the league point championship as well as the league and district tournaments.

She set the school single round record of 70 last season and finished this year with a school record aver-age round score of 80.14.

“She played well,” said coach Andy Wesley. “A couple of things gave her some trouble: sand and putting. On the first round, she got

stuck in the sand on a couple holes. The second round they cut and rolled the greens, which caused trouble figuring out the speed.”

Rachel Fujitani of Mercer Island took the 2014 3A girls title with a 146 (73/73).

Kerfoot, who placed 46th at state last year, “played well today (Thursday),” according to coach David Smith. “He kept grinding it out but had a few tough holes.”

“I was really proud of Mac,” Smith said. “He made the cut for day two and played some great golf in bad weather. As soon as he was done

with his round today, he wanted to go back on the course and support his other Wesco golfers. It was great to see that kind of sportsmanship.”

Fort Vancouver’s Spencer Tibbits took the 3A boys title with a 140 (70/70).

Tough luck struck Roderos and Oak Harbor. She shot a 95 the first day and missed the cut by one stroke. Oak Harbor would have fin-ished in the top 10 in team scoring had Roderos qualified for the sec-ond round.

Last year the senior placed 52nd at state.

The Blazers (boys 9-10),

Street Signs (boys 15-18), Redhook (men’s) and Klumzy Kleats (girls 13-14), all with Oak Harbor players, finished second in their divi-sions.

Twenty-three of the 63 teams that participated were from Whidbey Island. Other teams traveled from Monroe, Sequim, Bellingham, Lynden, Burlington, Ellensburg, La Conner, Silverdale, Lynnwood, Snohomish, Gig Harbor and Longview.

Event organizer River Powers said, “I had tremen-dous volunteer support dur-ing the tournament that real-ly helped it all come together nicely. I’m already making plans for next year’s event, which will include a uniform contest.”

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

Gary Daugherty doesn’t know how he got so lucky.

Not only does he have a loving wife, he also has an adoring dog who goes with him almost everywhere.

“I call them my dark-haired, dark-eyed beauties,” he said.

When Daugherty goes on his next deployment with his squadron from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, there will be some sad eyes at their Oak Harbor home.

And Bugaboo, the dog, is no exception.

A year ago, when Daugherty returned from six months away from home, Sarah Daugherty took a video of the reunion between her husband and their dog.

Intended for family and friends to view, the video of Bugaboo’s reaction became an Internet smash, tugging on the heartstrings of mil-lions of viewers.

In the video, Bugaboo first leaps and wraps her paws on Daugherty as he reaches the top of the stairs, crying all the while.

When Daugherty moves to a recliner, Bugaboo jumps into his lap and he cradles her like a baby. She cranes her neck and the cries turn to wails.

“Did you miss daddy?” he said to his dog.

A month after it was post-ed on YouTube, attention on

major news websites cata-pulted the video into a new stratosphere.

Just recently, the number of views eclipsed 7 million.

Their dog’s emotional reac-tion touched the Daughertys and, in turn by them sharing it, touched millions of others.

Gary Daugherty said that he’s learned that some peo-ple watch the video again to

inspire them on a tough day.He’s been intrigued by

the comments on the video, which have exceeded 4,000. Some will question its authenticity or make other off-topic rude remarks. That has led to people he’s never met to self-police the remarks by making enough complaints to get those com-ments removed.

“Honestly, in many ways, it helped restore a little of my faith in humanity,” he said.

Daugherty said the video is an example of behavior from a dog that’s bonded very closely to him and his wife.

Bugaboo, a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever and Blue Tick Heeler mix, is a con-stant companion and quite

the duck hunting dog.So when Daugherty, a P-3

Orion pilot for VQ-1, went away for half a year and reap-peared, Bugaboo had trouble taking it all in.

Daugherty said “Bug” loves his wife just as much but just hadn’t seen him in a while.

“I can talk to my wife on the phone,” he said. “There’s only so much you can talk to your dog on the phone.”

Daugherty said last June was the first time Bugaboo had wailed in such an emo-tional way, but she’s since repeated the behavior.

The Daughertys got Bugaboo from friends in Florida four years ago after she gravitated to them during visits and bonded closely.

“Bug chose us,” Gary said.Their loyal, obedient and

loving dog makes them feel grateful to have her. They recently got her certified as a therapy dog to share her with others.

“Even the people who hate dogs, they like her,” Gary said.

“My wife and I pray every-day that we can use Bug to bless others.”

Viral reunion video reveals family’s ‘Love Bug’

Photo by Ron Newberry/ Whidbey News-Times

Gary Daugherty, a P-3 Orion pilot at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, shares a close bond with his Labrador Retriever and Blue Tick Heeler mix Bugaboo. A video taken of Bugaboo’s reaction after Daugherty returned from a six-month deployment a year ago has drawn more than 7 million views after being posted on YouTube.

ny by Gardner, who works for the Oak Harbor Police Department, Gowdey and former town marshal Lance Davenport, was con-tinued until next week.

After the evidentiary hearing is completed, Judge Alan Hancock is expected to make a rul-ing on whether or not Gowdey’s interview with Gardner is admissible evi-dence.

GOWDEY WAS charged in February with unlawful imprisonment and witness tampering after a former girlfriend of Gowdey told Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck about an alleged 2007 inci-dent.

The incident was the focus an internal investi-gation at that time and no wrongdoing was found.

Gowdey reportedly handcuffed his former girl-friend and subsequently said he did it because he thought she was suicidal.

Later, Gowdey allegedly coached her to omit parts of the story, according to court documents.

THE INCIDENT came to light again, however, during a routine check into Gowdey’s background by the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The former girlfriend reportedly changed her story from the 2007 ver-sion while speaking with Mauck in 2013 and added new information, according to Skinner.

Davenport said Friday he worked with the sher-iff’s office and agreed that the Oak Harbor Police Department should con-duct an investigation into the new allegations against Gowdey to avoid potential conflicts of interest. The former girlfriend, until recently, was an employee of the Oak Harbor Police Department.

The Snohomish Sheriff’s Department has since taken over the investiga-tion.

Gowdey’s background was being checked because the sheriff’s office was tak-ing over police services for the Town of Coupeville and Gowdey would have become a deputy sheriff.

ON THE morning of his arrest, Sept. 7, Gowdey arrived at work and was asked by Davenport to sit down and talk with Oak Harbor police detectives.

Several members from various law enforcement agencies were also on site but out of sight, according to Davenport.

Davenport said he and Gardner agreed that Gowdey, who was being investigated on the crimi-nal allegation, would be told he was meeting with Oak Harbor detectives as part of “an internal investi-gation” concerning a police department staff member.

D A V E N P O R T INITIALLY testified that Gardner was the source of the “internal investigation” idea, but later restated it as someone from the police department.

“At that point, that was the plan we came up with,” Davenport said.

“You never volunteered

anything (to Gowdey) about the accuracy of what was going on,” Skinner said.

“No, I did not,” Davenport said.

In the case of an internal investigation, law enforce-ment officers must be given a Garrity warning which forces them to comply and answer all questions truth-fully or be fired, but those statements cannot be used in court.

In the case of a crimi-nal investigation, suspects must be read their Miranda rights.

“THE GOAL of the internal investigation is to get the information …” Skinner said. “You want to make sure people under-stand they are free to talk and it won’t be used against them in a court of law.”

Despite the claim that police were conducting an internal investigation, Gardner testified she read Gowdey his Miranda rights before beginning the inter-view.

Gowdey testified that this confused him since he believed he was helping with an internal investiga-tion.

Gowdey testified that he

asked Gardner if he was a suspect and that she dodged the question and refused to inform him he was a suspect.

Gowdey testified that he said, “If I am a suspect, this interview is over.”

Gardner said it is her training to “continue on until they ask for an attor-ney.”

“You didn’t tell him the truth … because he was a suspect,” Skinner said.

“Correct,” Gardner responded.

BASED ON what he was told, and believing he was not a suspect, Gowdey testified that he continued to talk to Gardner.

While being questioned by Skinner, Gardner repeatedly said she didn’t recall telling Gowdey that the police department was conducting an internal investigation.

“I remember there was a plan for an investigation,” Gardner said. “I don’t recall if it was internal.”

Prior to interviewing Gowdey, Gardner said she had “weak, weak probable cause” in the case against the former deputy marshal and “wanted more than that.”


mismanaged the event and wants to take her role in a different direction.

“Is she an option? Yes,” Dudley said.

“Would I rather improve that greatly? Absolutely.”

Dudley has taken issue with the $23,000 bonus Sipes received for the 2014 event.

The bonus was intended to be an incentive to boost race enrollment, and it was a plan Dudley himself pro-posed as an incentive to increase marathon participation.

In order to get people enrolled, Sipes said she decreased enroll-ment fees in a special promotion which proved to be far more success-ful than she antici-pated.

The event atten-dance this year soared to 2,800, but the city says the event was an overall money loser with total rev-enues at $153,000 and expenses at an all time high of $190,000.

Dudley said he was pleased with the attendance, which was a con-cern of his since taking office, but not about the meth-od Sipes used to boost numbers.

“Were we happy with that? Absolutely,” Dudley said. “The way it came about, by slashing registration fees and adding kids events … I’m not overly thrilled about how we got there.”

In addition to money concerns, Dudley said that Sipes is not a marathon run-ner and overlooks details that are important to run-ners.

Dudley said he has com-pleted 18 marathons and knows how they should be operated.

“There’s no doubt she could make the Whidbey Island Marathon better if she wants to,” Dudley said. “I question her motivation. At this point we have no contract with her.”

“There’s no cost to explore our options.”

Tuesday’s meeting was “uneventful,” according to Sipes. She said it mainly involved Dudley asking questions about the mara-

thon.Sipes said City

Administrator Larry Cort also attended the meeting.

When discussing a pos-sible contract for her ser-vices, Sipes said she asked for a two-year deal with a $2,000 raise, but no incen-tives.

“I’ve never needed the incentives,” Sipes said. “It’s not something that drives me. I’m doing it because I love the event.”

Sipes said her main frus-tration is hearing from oth-

ers — and the newspaper — that Dudley was unhappy with her performance rather than from the mayor him-self.

“I was sur-prised by the mayor’s thoughts on this,” Sipes said. “He doesn’t talk to me. He doesn’t tell me what he wants. Whatever the mayor and the council want me to do, I’ll do it.”

The time Dudley is taking to look at other candidates is resulting in lost opportunities in terms of allowing whoever is man-aging to start planning and securing spon-sors for the next marathon, said Sipes.

Dudley said he has a “problem with com-placency” and believes it’s to the City of Oak Harbor’s advantage to explore other candidates.

“I’m trying to make the Whidbey Island Marathon a better experience as a whole,” Dudley said.

The city council, which continues to support Sipes as coordinator, unanimous-ly voted to consider a two-year contract for the posi-tion no later than July 1. However, the mayor retains the power to select the per-son who fills the role.

Dudley said a request for qualifications will go out next week. He said he’s seeking anyone with race or event planning experience.

Despite Dudley’s issues with her, Sipes said she would still take on the role if asked.

DUDLEY“Is she an option? Yes … Would I rather improve that greatly? Absolutely.”

SIPES“He doesn’t tell me what he wants. Whatever the mayor and the council want me to do, I’ll do it.”

MARATHONCONTINUED FROM A1

“He wasn’t wearing a helmet,” Francis said. “Though, I’m not sure it’d make a difference.”

“It was fatal from the get-go.”Police said they do not believe

Williams was impaired and said he voluntarily submitted to testing,

Francis said.The cause of the accident is

Shields’ failure to yield, according to the State Patrol, and no charges against Williams are pending.

Highway 20 was temporarily closed while police investigated. Traffic was

routed around the accident, but did cause backups in both directions.

In an email sent to the Whidbey News-Times, Robert Berka said, “He was my very good friend.”

“He died in front of me. He will be missed.”
