It’s budget season and Oak Harbor government officials are rehashing old disagree-ments over tax and spending issues.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott D u d l e y presented the City C o u n c i l with his preliminary version of the two-year budget this week, s u r p r i s -ing council m e m b e r s with his r e n e w e d call to cut m e d i c a l benefits for elected offi-cials.

The Island County com-missioner race will likely require a recount.

If that happens, appoint-ed Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan will get to spend a little extra time on the board.

R i c k H a n n o l d , a North W h i d b e y Republican, still leads the race as of Friday a f t e r -noon, but Democratic challenger Karla Jacks, a Camano Island resi-dent, closed the gap to 134 votes as of Thursday’s count.

911 21st Street, Anacortes,WA • 360-293-7222

After a terrible fall down concrete stairs I required extensive bilateral knee surgery. As an independent 30 year old with a severe debilitating injury and a Lupus diagnosis I was concerned with how I was going to care for myself and regain my independence. I live in Oak Harbor and did not know what to do or where to turn for help until an Island Hospital employee told me about San Juan Rehab Center in Anacortes. Because of my age I never considered that I would qualify for Skilled Nursing care.

I am so fortunate to have found San Juan Rehab. They are no stranger to providing care for patients of all ages. Diligently following my surgeon’s orders Tina, RN, cared for me with a great big smile every day and Mary, Physical Therapy Assistant, stressed the importance of relaxing and letting others care for me during our daily therapy. Loni, Occupational Therapist, has given me hope for independence by teaching me new ways to manage my daily living tasks. And there was never a lack of laughter when Agnes and Richelle were around. Overall my days were fi lled with love and care by the entire staff.

While at San Juan rehab during the summer, I was able to participate in two exciting daytrips. A beautiful ferry ride to Friday Harbor and a barbeque picnic at Deception State Park. They made it happen even though I am wheel chair bound. That was the icing on the cake!I am so thankful that I was able to fi nd San Juan Rehab. They have given me the courage and hope to live a full independent life.

I was at church receiving communion when I felt a horri� c pain in the back of my left shoulder.  I fell back and couldn’t move. Immediately I was surrounded by my church family who came to help me. 911 was called and I was rushed to Whidbey Island hospital. They diagnosed the problem then rushed me to Swedish Hospital in Seattle. A team of doctors placed a stent in my aorta because it was dissecting. Eventually I was able to be discharged to a rehab center to regain my strength before returning to my home.  When the discharge planner from Swedish asked me where I would like to go, I recalled a dear family member had described his wonderful stay at San Juan rehab cen-ter. Since I had two previous experiences with other rehab centers in Skagit County and I wanted to be closer to my home, my family and I felt I should go to San Juan Rehab.

From the time I arrived, I felt welcome.  I love to see people smile and I believe that hap-piness is good for healing. The quality of care I was given was Topnotch! They were at-tentive and compassionate to my physical needs. I believe that I could not have gotten back on my feet without the help of the Nurses, Aides, Activities and Physical Ther-apy. Even though one of my daughters, Lori, lives two hours away she was kept informed of my progress.  She felt that Bonnie, a Physical Therapist, went the extra mile after she left a voice message with her personal cell phone number requesting a return call at any time to discuss her assessment before I could go home.  I have to say that the overall Physical Therapy team were impressive and professional. I am ready to return home after two and half weeks of rehab.   I will miss the love and attention I received at San Juan Rehabilitation but will come back to visit soon! ~Helen Brandt with her daughter Lori

Oak Harbor woman accused of hitting her boyfriend with a fireplace pokerBy JESSIE STENSLANDCo-editor

An Oak Harbor woman is facing a felony charge for allegedly hitting her boy-friend repeatedly with a fire-place poker, according to court records.

Prosecutors charged Mimi C. Basoco, 42, in Island County Superior Court Nov. 3 with assault in the second degree with a deadly weapon. The single count was charged as domestic-violence related.

A 40-year-old Oak Harbor man reported the alleged assault to police on Oct. 29, a few days after it occurred.

The man said the assault occurred after he confronted Basoco about a call from her ex-boyfriend. The man claimed he was sitting on the couch when she came up behind him and hit him in head and the back with a fire poker, according to the police report.

The man said he went into

the bedroom and blocked the door with a dresser to keep her out.

The officer noted that the man had a puncture wound on his back, scabs on his neck and waistline and bruis-es on his back and forearm.

The officer arrested Basoco, who claimed that her boyfriend broke her tooth a year ago. She allegedly said she hit him with the fireplace poker because he attacked her, the report states.

A former bookkeeper for an Oak Harbor property management company is accused of embezzling about $30,000 from the busi-ness, according to documents on file in Island County Superior Court.

Prosecutors charged Theresa M. Gonsalves, 54, of Oak Harbor, with first-degree theft Nov. 3 in Island County Superior Court.

The co-owner of the company contacted police earlier this year and reported his suspicion that Gonsalves embezzled money from the company, according to the offi-cer’s report.

The man reported that he discovered a $1,500 discrepancy in the company’s accounting in March and approached Gonsalves about it; she allegedly admit-

ted to taking the money because “she had fallen on hard times,” the report said.

The man said he told the bookkeeper that she should have come to him if she needed money.

“He had helped other employees who were in similar circumstances and they had come to an agreement on paying him back,” the officer said in his report.

Gonsalves became very emotional and started crying when the owner told her that she was fired.

The man became suspicious and realized that the situation might be worse than the missing $1,500, the report said.

The owner said he reviewed the business’ financial records and discovered alleged shortages totalling more than $30,000 from the period of March 2011 to March 2014, according to the officer’s report.

Players help family cope with deathBy JIM WALLERSports editor

Oak Harbor Youth Football League players learned this season that football, brutal as it can be, is just a game, and that life sometimes hits much harder than a tackle.

The team of 11- and 12-year-olds did its best to soften one of life’s cruelest blows that struck the family of team-mate Jared McDonald.

The juniors played their final game Saturday; two days later, John McDonald, Jared’s father, lost his battle with cancer.

Early in October, the team dedicated its season to John, hoping to help him enjoy the last moments he would share with his son.

Heather McDonald, John’s wife, said John was “over-whelmed” when he found out the boys wanted to dedicate the season to him, thus sup-porting him in his fight with cancer.

John loved the game of football, Heather said, and he was “so happy he could share that with Jared and this group of boys.”

The team, although in the midst of Seahawk country, wore wristbands striped in the black and gold of John’s favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to show their com-mitment to him.

Team mom Kaui Asinsin, with a big assist from Big 5, gathered the wristbands; and Big 5 donated a Steelers blanket for the junior team to present to John McDonald.

Asinsin and her husband Nick, the team’s coach, made the initial decision to honor John during cancer aware-ness month. The wristbands replaced the traditional pink worn by teams supporting the cause.

The players first wore the wristbands Oct. 4, and after the game, coach Asinsin explained to the team and the parents the significance of the gesture. Jared then presented his father with the Steeler blanket.

This goes beyond football, Heather McDonald said. For John and her, the greatest

story line wasn’t the sup-port the team afforded John but its effort to help Jared through it all.

“It is special to see the mutual love and adoration the kids have for each other, that the parents have for each other,” she said.

“Jared knows he is not in this alone. It is important that he knows that there are people he can go to.”

Kaui Asinsin said the par-ents have expressed that they are “blessed and over-whelmed by the lesson that was being taught to their sons.”

“I saw the impact that it made on my son,” Kaui Asinsin said. “This unfortu-nate situation brought our team closer and made us a family.”

After the team lost in the

semifinals of the league tournament Saturday, Nick Asinsin reminded the boys that they played “for a great-er purpose.”

The rallying cry for the team this season was “We Got Mac’s Back.”

The players and parents are hoping to continue that support now that the season is over.

There is talk of hosting an annual softball or golf tourna-ment to help the family.

Recently, the players’

parents presented the McDonalds with a variety of gift cards, helped with meals and set up an account for donations to help Jared’s future, the Jared McDonald Benefit Account at People’s Bank.

not in this alone. It is important that he knows that there are people he can go to.”

Two sculptures at Oak Harbor High School were dedicated to members of the community involved in the project.

The sculptures, created by artist Ries Niemi, were part of the public art legis-lation through Washington state.

On Wednesday, donors and people who were a part of the art selection committee gathered at the high school to hear about the process of creation.

Every time the state spends money on a public building, one half of one percent is set aside for pub-lic art.

The state Ar ts Commission is responsible for following through on that, explained Rebecca Solverson, project manag-er for two new sculptures at the high school.

The school was eligible for public art funding from the state because of the work Oak Harbor did a few years ago on the school, and the money the state pitched in for it.

This project was not funded entirely by the state.

“Our projects are typical-ly funded through the … art legislation,” Solverson said. “In this case, Richard (Nash) and the countless donors stepped in and aug-mented the project.”

People throughout the community made private donations toward the art-work, not just money, but also the concrete bases

and lighting for the two art pieces.

“The community literally elevated and brightened the piece,” Solverson said.

Richard Nash, a former art teacher at the high school and an artist him-self, headed the project and worked with other members of the com-munity in the Local Art Selection Committee.

The committee was responsible for select-ing an artist from the Art Commission’s roster and providing input on the art-works designs.

The committee chose artist Niemi, who lives only 40 miles away from Oak Harbor and has strong ties to the community.

“I really like doing things

for a community that I’m a part of,” Niemi said, add-ing he particularly enjoys making art for schools.

“To me, it’s really impor-tant to do pieces that peo-ple see and interact with, and a school is a great location for that.”

The sculptures are enti-tled “Cairns.” Niemi said they symbolize the mark-ing of the trail.

“I wanted to do a piece that was the idea of school being something you’re passing through,” he said. “No one ever stays at school except the poor teachers, so the idea of a trial, the idea of a pathway, the idea of leaving your mark and moving on, is something that I wanted to try and communicate.

“The idea of looking

back and seeing the mark-er of where you’ve been.”

Niemi said he came up with the idea of the cairns, but didn’t want to be too literal or tell “too much of a story.”

“I want people to be able to make up their own sto-ries about it.”

The sculptures are stain-less steel.

“That was really out-standing,” Solverson said. “It also shows the level of support for the project.”

Solverson said that the art is now a part of the state’s art collection.

“It belongs to all Washingtonians, but it also belongs to this community here,” she said. “It’s for and by the community, and we hope you all embrace that.”

Downtown Oak Harbor is starting to look like a holi-day corridor, thanks to local students.

On Thursday afternoon, elementary students vis-ited the Old Town Mall on Pioneer Way and decorated Christmas trees with orna-ments made in art classes.

Carla McCoy, art teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School, said the activity started three years ago when Kristi Jensen invited the elementary schools to create ornaments and hang them in the mall.

Jensen, one of the owners of the Old Town Mall, also contributes money toward the project.

“She gives us a donation of $50 to go towards the materi-als that create the ornaments themselves,” McCoy said.

Each of the elementary schools chooses a theme and selects grade levels to cre-ate the ornaments to hang during the first week of November.

Hillcrest chose the Nutcracker as this year’s theme, and hung cut-out, decorated nutcrackers and ballerinas.

“This is another great opportunity for students to get their work out in the pub-lic,” McCoy said.

Joanna LeClaire, the

art teacher at Oak Harbor Elementary, likened the project to an art walk, which involves putting up artwork along Pioneer Way for com-munity viewing.

Other tree themes include Native American eagle orna-ments, storybook ornaments and candy land.

“It’s always fun to see what art projects the other schools have created,” McCoy said. “Each tree is unique and fab-ulous in its own way.”

For Philip Esterdahl, first grader at Hillcrest, the excite-ment wasn’t just about the decorating, but also the creat-ing of the ornaments and, of course, the cookies and hot chocolate provided for the decorators.

“I had lots and lots of fun,” he said.

“It’s amazing, seeing the kids so exited about getting their artwork up,” LeClaire said.

The trees are on display in the Old Town Mall until early January, McCoy said. Each tree is labeled with the name of the school responsible for the ornaments.

“This is another great opportunity for the students to get their work out in the public,” McCoy said.

By MICHELLE BEAHMStaff reporter

For the 10th year, Oak Harbor High School will host a performance honoring vet-erans on Veterans Day.

The performance is 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11 at the Oak Harbor High School Performing Arts Center.

“Our local theme this year is ‘A Musical Tribute to Our Veterans,’” said Dave Williams, program chair of the event, which is sponsored by the Oak Harbor Navy League.

“Veterans Day is tradition-ally celebrated on the same date as the former Armistice Day,” Williams said, “inaugu-rated to commemorate the end of World War I, Nov. 11, 1918 — the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year.”

There will be musical performances by the An-O-Chords, the Daybreak Trio, the All-Island Community Band and the high school’s Harbor Singers choir.

“I think it’s important for kids to get context for the people who have worked so hard for our freedom,” said choir director Darren McCoy.

“Some of the people who

were here were literally in the water at Pearl Harbor. … They need to be able to talk to people like that.”

The high school’s choir will be singing three pieces: the Navy hymn, River in Judea and Bogoroditse Devo.

McCoy described River in Judea “an American piece about hope.”

Bogoroditse Devo is a Russian piece. McCoy said, “It’s a prayer for protection and forgiveness.”

In addition to choirs and bands, Williams said the program will include guest speaker Chief Petty Officer Gabriel Zaldivar.

The high school’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps Color Guard will also attend the perfor-mance.

“The community is invited and encouraged to attend this ceremony,” Williams said, “to honor all of the veterans among us, who have, through-out our nation’s history, fought to preserve our democracy, maintain the peace and pre-serve our legacy.”

Admission to the event is free.

The Performing Arts Center is located at 950 N.W. 2nd Ave.

n In the Nov. 5 article, “Island County prosecutor reopens case, files charges,” Troy Hilkey’s brother, who

was not identified by name in the story, was not Travis Hilkey, but rather another brother.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITORJustice

Was prepared to go to TV news with storyEditor,

I sincerely appreciate the front-page story the Whidbey News-Times wrote on my son’s assault.

While it’s true that I was indeed hesitant to work with Jessie Stensland, and have judged her harshly in the past, I truly did enjoy working with her.

I am also grateful for the phone calls she made and the fact that she helped get the case reopened.

However, I do have to take excep-tion with Keven Graves’ Opinion piece on the same topic.

I did not feel nor say that I had nowhere else to turn to but the News-Times.

After repeated letters to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office went unanswered, I sat on this story and prayed about it for three months.

I gave this newspaper first shot. Had they not been interested, I was heading straight to KOMO TV.

This was a fight I was not giving up.

Yet I take far more exception with the statement that “Lady Justice wears a blindfold.” Her statue may indeed wear one, but all too often in reality, justice is not blind. If this were true, I would not have had to fight so hard to find justice for my son.

How often do we hear about celeb-rities and other famous people get-ting away with things you or I would be punished for?

Don’t we all know of someone whose social status, wealth or politi-cal or family connections have saved them from paying for a wrong?

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

I can’t think of many statements that are more true.

Again, I thank Jessie and the news-paper for sharing this story.

It is not the first time I’ve been on the front page of a newspaper, and it probably won’t be the last.

We must always stand for what’s right and true and just, not only for the ones we love, but for everyone.

Luanne RaavelCoupeville

Island Transit

Bob Clay must go from transit boardEditor,

I am probably one of a few Island Transit users speaking up. As such, I stand with Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley in his efforts to, at the least, get Island Transit an advertising contract and get new Island Transit board mem-bers who will take their responsibilities seriously.

At the least, Bob Clay must go. Clay certainly knew before the Oct. 24 State Auditor’s Office Exit Conference about the former executive director’s inability to report leave correctly yet agreed to pay over $80,000 to a former executive director who, according to the auditor’s office, shares the blame for many of Island Transit’s problems.

A severance agreement was also arguably fiscally irresponsible.

Furthermore, Mr. Clay’s attempt to discredit the state Auditor’s Office Team Bellingham at the Exit Conference is ignoble. At least the for-mer Team Bellingham Director Sadie

The new head of Island Transit should come without baggage.

The transit board may name an interim director Friday, though it has made little effort in finding a permanent director, much to the consternation of some of its harsh-est critics.

The board members have said they want someone with transit experience to take the helm, which makes sense.

There are, however, other qualities that are also essen-tial to the job.

The man or woman who will lead the vital but embat-tled agency on both an interim and permanent basis should be an outsider, someone who doesn’t have any political alliances or conflicts of interest. Someone who represents a clean break from the past.

The new leader will need to unite the factions that developed in the wake of troubles within the agency. IT needs a leader who believes in total transparency and can educate the public on how important transit service is to the entire island community.

The serious leadership problems have overshadowed this simple fact.

The next transit chief should be open to ideas such as charging fares or allowing advertising on buses. The revenue-boosting ideas may or may not make financial sense. Such decision should be made based on research and facts, not personal preferences or philosophies.

In light of IT’s financial management problems, the new director should, of course, have a keen understanding of public finance. And above all, the new director needs to be accessible and accountable to the public.

The public will get a chance to meet the board of direc-tors’ candidates for the interim executive director position at 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 14 at the Island Transit Operations and Administration Building on State Highway 20 near Coupeville.

Unfortunately, the board opted to meet in secret to evaluate the candidates that day. While it’s not unusual for public agencies to discuss applicants for administra-tive positions in private, it isn’t a legal necessity. It’s the board’s choice to hide behind closed doors.

With all the questions and criticism surrounding IT and the board, it would have been a wiser move to remain completely transparent in this hiring process. It would have set a welcome tone.

SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

Around the state there are still votes to be counted and races to be decided, but here are a few takeaways from Tuesday’s elec-tion.

The R’s are in charge — almost. Republicans are feeling good, as they should be. Their party gained a seat in the state Senate to cement con-trol of that chamber. And if late-arriving ballots break the GOP direction, the party could pick up enough seats in the House to trim Democrats’ advantage to as little as 51-47.

Big winner: Environmentalists painted conservative state Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, as the antichrist of climate change, but he emerged the antihero of the election.

He won convincingly as voters ignored his zeal for dining on lob-

byists’ dime and embraced his Zen for shunting the attacks of well-funded critics.

Big loser — it’s a tie: The state’s largest teachers union and one of the loudest voices for environmen-talists had poor showings, the kind that can lead to hiring new political advisors.

The Washington Education Association invested a small for-tune on Initiative 1351 to reduce class sizes.

It could pass — it trailed Tuesday, but there are lots of votes to tally in King County, where it is winning — though lawmakers would likely suspend it in 2015 due to its high cost.

And they would act without much fear of political retribution because the WEA demonstrated little clout in affecting the outcome of legislative races this year, even those involving its members.

Democrats Mike Wilson of Everett and Rep. Monica Stonier of Vancouver were losing Wednesday, in spite of sizable sums of aid from their union.

Meanwhile, the Washington Conservation Voters expended more than a million dollars to

make the fight against climate change an election issue, to no avail.

Most of its dough came from billionaire Tom Steyer of California for the fruitless battle against Ericksen.

The group paid for three polls this year, the last on Oct. 10. One can only wonder what enviros learned as Steyer gave them $500,000 that same day.

Billionaire agents of change: They’ve funded initiatives to expand background checks on gun sales, legalize charter schools and marijuana and preserve gay mar-riage.

What’s next for the Ballmers, Gateses, Bezoses, Hanauers, Allens and even Michael Bloomberg? Will it be a higher minimum wage, paid family leave, a tax on sugary drinks or a new source of school funding?

Given Steyer’s experience, it probably won’t be tackling climate change through such ideas as cap-and-trade.

Pedro predicted it: A warn-ing sign that Republican Pedro Celis was in deep trouble against Democratic U.S. Rep. Suzan

DelBene came from Celis himself six weeks before the election.

That’s when his campaign released results of a poll showing only 47 percent of Republicans surveyed knew Celis, and of those only three of four planned to vote for him.

Next up, 2016: Republican state Sen. Andy Hill endured a grueling re-election fight and now is on the short list of possible opponents to Gov. Jay Inslee in two years. Already, there are Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert and Port of Seattle Commissioner Bill Bryant. Meanwhile, Ericksen might parlay his performance into a run against DelBene, who lost to Celis in the Whatcom County portion of the congressional district.

It might seem soon for speculat-ing, but the end of every election cycle marks the beginning of a new one.

That’s a takeaway you can count on.

QUESTION

Armijo explained in her last audit of Island Transit there were no “red flags” because Island Transit had over $2 million in reserves in 2012 and was building a necessary but opulent new headquarters.

Therefore, Mayor Nancy Conard should please review Bob Clay’s performance on the Island Transit Board, instruct Clay to issue a public apology to Sadie Armijo and Andy Asbjornsen — the past and pres-ent Team Bellingham commanders I

consider consummate professionals — and place on a Coupeville Town Council agenda a public confidence vote about Clay’s representation of Coupeville to the Island Transit Board.

The ultimate issue to this bus rider is whether the transit Board can rebuild Island Transit.

I hold the view it is impossible for most of Island Transit’s current board to continue due to multiple negative surprises destroying trust, the recent State Audit, profligate spending poli-cies and the Island Transit 2014-19

Transit Development Plan being so deficient it is unclear to me when or if Saturday service will restart.

Joe A. KunzlerSedro-Woolley

Current directors best to resolve problemsEditor,

Recent articles and editorials in the Whidbey News-Times have included much criticism of the Island Transit Board of Directors.

Though some of the criticism is

valid, it is now time to get beyond finding blame.

The directors are the most knowl-edgeable persons regarding Island Transit, and they spent many hours investigating the financial problems. Thus, the current directors are the people most likely to devise a path forward to resolve the problems.

We look forward to the time when Island Transit is in a strong financial situation and regains its position as one of the best transit systems in the state.

Susan HowardSusan Lee (Storer)

Howard passed away at her home north of Coupeville Oct. 31; her battle against pancreatic cancer finally ended.

She was born in Canton, Ill., Nov. 1, 1946, to Mary Jane Brooks and adopted as an infant by Francis Lee and Jean Loretta (Shreffler) Storer.

GAME OF THE WEEK The Oak Harbor youth football peewees play for the league title at noon Saturday, Nov. 8, in Mount Vernon.

SPORTSWHIDBEY

By JIM WALLERSports editor

The Oak Harbor High School volleyball team over-came one bugaboo, now it will have to vanquish another if it hopes to qualify for the state tournament.

After losing all four five-game matches they played during the regular season, the Wildcats won their sec-ond in three days in the district tournament. Both enabled Oak Harbor to stay alive in the consolation brack-et.

The latest was a 3-2 win over Arlington Thursday, Nov. 6, at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. The first came in an improbable 3-2 win at Shorewood Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Now the Wildcats return to M-P to face Ferndale at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, in a match that will determine third place and the final District 1 berth into the state tournament.

Ferndale is the other trou-ble spot the Wildcats need to conquer. The sixth-ranked Golden Eagles defeated Oak Harbor 3-1 in last year’s dis-trict championship match, 3-1 in this fall’s first regular-sea-son match and 3-0 in the first round of this district tourna-ment last Saturday.

Coach Kerri Molitor said the key to taking down Ferndale is the same as any match, stay focused and play with solid fundamentals.

‘Cats top Arlington in loser-out match

One of the five-match loss-es Oak Harbor suffered dur-ing the regular season was at Arlington Sept. 22.

This time the Wildcats won 25-17, 21-25, 25-21, 24-26,

15-9.Molitor said she wasn’t

sure how her team would react, going to Marysville-Pilchuck, the site of the cam-

pus shooting that took four lives two weeks ago.

“It was kind of a somber drive,” Molitor said. “The posters and memorials on the

campus were emotional and a little distracting.”

The Wildcats, however, proved ready to play and built a big lead on the way to the

first-game win.With the ease of the win,

Oak Harbor took a “we got this” attitude into the second game, Molitor said, and suf-fered the consequences.

The Wildcats rebounded for the third-game win but then found themselves in a deep hole in the fourth.

Behind 23-18, Oak Harbor rallied behind the serving of Natalie McVey for a 24-23 lead before falling.

The momentum of the late spurt helped the Wildcats get off to a good start in the fifth-set win.

“We were more focused, moved a little quicker,” Molitor said.

Junior Claire Anderson, who struggled in the fourth set, spurred the Wildcats’ strong finish, according to Molitor, with an “aggressive” and “confident” attack.

Anderson finished the eve-ning with 38 kills and 19 digs.

Freshman Hailee Blau added 13 kills behind a hit-ting efficiency that was “off the charts,” according to Molitor.

The 6-foot-2 Blau was also huge on defense, registering 8.5 blocks, by far a season best for Oak Harbor, Molitor said.

McVey, in addition to three aces, dished out 28 assists, while Hailey Beecher handed out 33.

Priya Osborne had 17 digs and Geslyne Barreta 12.

Oak Harbor rallies in win over T-birds

Oak Harbor’s 3-2 win over Shorewood was a stunner, as the Wildcats came back from the brink to defeat the Wesco champions and top-seeded Thunderbirds on their home court.

Shorewood won the first two games (25-19, 25-21) and held match-point (24-23) in the third before the Wildcats eked out a 26-24 win.

After being one point from having its season come to an end, Oak Harbor squeezed out a 25-23 win in game four and then wrapped up the match with a 15-12 win in the fifth set.

Shorewood thumped its way to a win in the first game, then Oak Harbor sabotaged its chances in the second by committing seven service errors.

Shorewood took a 24-23 lead in the third set, but instead of folding under the pressure, the Wildcats ral-lied.

A block by Blau and a pair of aces from Barreta enabled Oak Harbor to take the win.

With the fourth game tied at 23, two kills by Anderson sent the match into a fifth game.

After trailing 2-1, Oak Harbor took a lead it would never relinquish. It led 14-10 when Shorewood tallied twice, but a pair of Anderson kills finished off the Thunderbirds.

In all, Anderson peppered Shorewood for 32 kills; she also had two aces, 22 digs and 1.5 blocks.

Blau (11 kills) and Amelia Berner (10 kills) aided Anderson on offense as Beecher recorded 35 assists and setting partner McVey 24.

Beecher also had two aces and seven digs.

Defensively, Osborne had 21 digs and Barreta 20.

After the Oak Harbor-Ferndale match Saturday, Marysville-Pilchuck faces Edmonds-Woodway for the district crown.

Turner, Lollar receive football honors

Oak Harbor High School head football coach Jay Turner and fullback Princeton Lollar were re-cently honored for their efforts on the football field.

Turner was named NFL High School Coach of the Week for week eight and Lollar the 3A Play-er of the Week for week nine.

Turner was selected for the sportsmanship and compassion displayed by Oak Harbor in con-ceding the Wesco 3A North title game to Marysville-Pilchuck after the tragic shooting at M-P.

The NFL High School Coach of the Week award winners in Wash-ington are selected by members of the Washington State Football Coaches Association.

The weekly recipients receive a $500 cash donation for their football program from the Seattle Seahawks, a $225 Sports Author-ity gift card, an authentic Seahawks jacket and a personalized football.

Turner received his award when the Wildcats visited the Seahawk practice facilities Tuesday, Nov. 4.

The NFL High School Coach of the Week program is a partner-ship between the Washington State Football Coaches Associa-tion and the Seattle Seahawks.

Lollar was selected by the Washington Interscholastic Activi-ties Association staff for his play against Mountlake Terrace Oct. 31. The sophomore ran 17 times for 163 yards and four touchdowns.

Each Athlete of the Week win-ner receives a congratulatory let-ter from WIAA Executive Direc-

tor Mike Colbrese, a commemora-tive WIAA State Athlete of the Week T-shirt and a certificate.

Winners are also posted to the WIAA website at www.wiaa.com

SPORTS IN BRIEF

gave Jacks a last-minute bump.

“When races are this close, every vote really does count,” she said.

Still, Reagan said the office has counted all but

the disputed ballots, so the results aren’t likely to change significantly.

The next count is sched-uled for Nov. 25, which is the certification date.

Reagan said she has

about 160 uncounted ballots that have signature issues. She said those people were sent letters and she urges them to respond so their votes can be counted.

She said a recount will be necessary if the difference in votes is less than 2,000 and also less than 0.5 per-cent of the total vote.

At this point, she said it looks like a recount will be needed in the race.

If so, Reagan said the canvassing board will set a date for the recount after the regular certification

date. She said the amount of time it will take to do a recount could depend on other races.

It currently looks like a statewide recount will be necessary for Initiative 1351, with concerns K-12 education.

The new commissioner will not take office until after a recount, if necessary.

The winning commis-sioner candidate gets to take office immediately fol-lowing certification because the current commissioner was appointed.

instead, though he didn’t include that in his budget.

Council members voted Wednesday night to continue with the arts funding program; they will make a final decision Nov. 18.

The art fund would be better spent elsewhere, which is a mes-sage he’s repeated often, Dudley said.

“I think the public would prefer an arts commission that finds the funds in the community, not by taxing the citizens,” he said.

The 0.25 percent tax on three of the city’s four utilities gen-erated about $33,000 this year and will increase to about $37,000

next year because of utility rate increases associated with the construction of the sewage treat-ment plant, according to Finance Director Doug Merriman.

The council said it wants to cap the amount dedicated to the arts program to $50,000 a year, but Merriman said it likely won’t reach that high in the next two years; the council must revisit the issue every biennial.

The fund has paid for several art pieces downtown, including the popular bronze “Stumbly Ducks” and the Pioneer Way mer-maid.

Merriman said the economy is

slowly picking up, which trans-lates into a small uptick in city revenues.

Merriman, known for being conservative, is estimating an annual revenue growth rate of 1.2 percent.

Nevertheless, he said inflation is at 2 percent and the city’s costs are increasing by about 4 percent a year.

The city’s overall budget, which includes general government and utility funds, will see a big increase next year because of the sewage treatment plant project. It will grow from $80 million this year to about $136 million next year.

The general fund, however, will remain stable at about $16 million.

Merriman said the preliminary budget is currently in the red by

about $375,000, which he said is typical for this point in the budget process. He said the spending increases are largely due to the proposed economic development coordinator and the reinstatement of three vacant positions that weren’t filled during the reces-sion years.

Merriman explained that the mayor and city administrator will go through the preliminary docu-ment and present the council with a balanced budget later this year.

The City Council, however, has the final say.

Council members voted Wednesday to increase the prop-erty tax levy by 1 percent, the maximum allowed without a vote of the people.

Councilman Bob Severns cast the sole vote against the increase.

Afterward, he said his main con-cern is keeping tax rates under control.

“It’s an affordability issue in my estimation,” he said. “Being able to afford to live here is really important to me.”

Severns said he heard con-cerns about taxes and affordabil-ity last year when he campaigned door-to-door.

Dudley, however, expressed skepticism.

“He voted for property tax increases every year up until he decided to run for mayor,” he said.

Dudley wouldn’t say whether he plans to run for re-election next year but said he welcomes a challenge by Severns, who also hasn’t announced whether he’ll run for mayor.

CITY BUDGETCONTINUED FROM A1

ELECTION UPDATECONTINUED FROM A1

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

A narrow pathway leads to a set of wooden stairs that reveals the entrance to the historic Haller House.

Once a tangle of over-grown shrubs and ivy, the walkway is now more navi-gable and the grand house less obscured from view from Front Street in Coupeville.

With little plumbing, no wiring, no heat and no reno-vations done in the 20th cen-tury, the house remains in virtually the same state when Major Granville Haller and his wife Henrietta lived there in the late 1800s.

And for historians such as Lynn Hyde, nothing could be more perfect.

Hyde is part of a nonprofit group known as Historic Whidbey that is work-ing to restore the Haller House and use it as a pub-lic museum to shed light on Whidbey Island’s significant connection to the mostly unknown territorial period in Washington of the 1860s and ‘70s.

An open house will be held at the house starting at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, on Veterans Day to give the public a glimpse of the home built in 1866, create awareness about the preser-vation group’s efforts to raise money to purchase it and to explain why the structure is important.

Historic Whidbey is cur-rently leasing the house and has an option to buy it in June 2015.

The group wants to restore the two-story house at the corner of Front and Main streets and turn it into a pub-lic venue that showcases the house, serves as a museum, offers a public garden area and provides a commercial venture of some kind.

“In this treasure trove of territorial houses, we don’t have anywhere in the (Ebey’s Landing National Historical) Reserve to tell that story,” Hyde said. “By using the Haller House as a history museum, we can use an exhibit to tell the story of ter-ritorial Whidbey.”

Coupeville is home to more structures still standing from the territorial era than any other place in Washington, Hyde said. The Haller House could serve as a visible public venue to bring more atten-tion to Coupeville’s place in history and that of the rest of the reserve.

Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve was des-ignated a unit the National Parks Service by Congress in 1978 to protect the area’s unique historical landscape in 1978.

Hyde said the “surviving fabric” of the territorial era is part of what prompted Congress and is what sepa-rates Coupeville and the reserve from other historic communities.

“Bringing awareness about this period is not just for the locals,” said Hyde, who also serves as an interpretation specialist with the reserve. “It’s for all the visitors who come to visit the reserve. They always ask, ‘Why is the reserve here so special?’

“Part of the enabling legis-lation is to commemorate the territorial era.”

It was during that era that Haller became a prominent figure in Coupeville, Port Townsend and Seattle.

He was man of significant wealth who built his grand home in Coupeville in 1866 and lived there until 1879 and later a mansion in Seattle.

A successful U.S. Army

officer who served in the Civil War and regional wars against Native Americans in the Northwest, Haller came to Coupeville in 1863 after being dismissed from mili-tary service for disloyal con-duct and sentiments.

He spent 16 years trying to restore his name and even-tually succeeded with rein-statement and a promotion to colonel.

“Haller is a fascinating character,” Hyde said.

The home he built in Coupeville was elaborate dur-ing that time with its size, high ceilings, grand fire

place and special decorative features.

During construction, the house incorporated the Raphael Brunn House that remains connected to the home.

“It was big enough at the time to hold Haller’s ego,” Hyde joked.

Some of the trees that remain in the yard are reminders of Henrietta Haller’s garden.

“It’s a great story for teach-ing history,” Hyde said. “It’s a great opportunity to tell about our territorial history through this house.”

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Saturday, November 8, 2014, Whidbey Classified, PAGE 19

Since September, he and paramedic Richard King have parked the rig around Whidbey Island and other parts of Western Washington, including venues near CenturyLink Field one game-days, to draw exposure to a

raffle ticket fundraiser that benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County.

For $20, one may purchase four tickets. So far, several thousand tickets have been sold.

To some people’s dismay,

the green Fanbulance, a 2001 Ford-350 diesel turbo, and all its Seahawks-themed con-tents is the prize.

“It’s like a Christmas stock-ing with all things Seahawks,” said Penny Perka, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County.

The Fanbulance will be parked near F.X. McRoy’s Steak Chop and Oyster House in Pioneer Square in

Seattle this Sunday, Nov. 9, and will make its next public appearance in Oak Harbor the morning of Nov. 16 in the Walmart parking lot.

The drawing for the Fanbulance will take place Dec. 7 at Flyers Restaurant and Brewery in Oak Harbor at halftime of the Seahawks’ road game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The idea was a brainchild of Wallin’s six months ago when he saw the ambulance parked at Whidbey General Hospital earmarked for sal-vage. He serves on the board of directors at the hospital.

A Seahawks fan since the franchise’s inception in 1976, he got to thinking about pos-sible uses and the idea struck him.

He knew he was onto something when he later learned the ambulance served as unit 12.

“It had a 12 on it,” he said. “It was sort of destined to be our rig.”

Parts from three de-commissioned ambu-lances were used to create the Fanbulance, a project embraced by several busi-nesses that donated services.

Central Collision handled all of the painting, while Midway Tire & Muffler helped with mechanical work, including the engine and tires.

NorthStar of Chehalis spearheaded the project of customizing the ambulance to all things Seahawks.

Wallin, who’s also on the board with Big Brothers Big Sisters, said an attorney who represents the Seahawks gave the Oak Harbor non-profit permission to use the franchise’s name, logo and

colors as a one-time–only fun-draiser.

Wallin has had to remind people that the Fanbulance is not the real thing.

“We’ve had people ask, ‘What happens if you get a call?’ ” he said.

“It’s been hugely suc-cessful,” said Tamra Sipes, president of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County.

“It’s not even just the money. It’s the PR we’re get-ting and putting the name out there in the community that we’re here.”

“He was a really nice guy,” Johnston said. “He gave some good pointers and told me some stuff I didn’t know about.”

Johnston called the trip to the Seahawks facilities “awesome,” adding, “we really didn’t deserve it.”

The Seattle Seahawks were impressed with Oak Harbor’s act of sportsmanship in conceding the divisional title game to Marysville-Pilchuck after the tragic shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School the day of the game.

The Seahawks then extended an invitation to both schools to use their practice facilities.

When Oak Harbor entered the facility Tuesday, they were greeted by the building’s personnel, who formed a tunnel and clapped for the Wildcats.

The Oak Harbor players and coaches mingled with Seahawk coaches and several players, including Richard Sherman, Bobby

Wagner and K.J. Wright. Seattle General Manager John Schneider

and Carroll addressed the team.After congratulating the Wildcats on their

act of sportsmanship, Carroll’s message became inspirational, Oak Harbor head coach Jay Turner said, challenging the Wildcats to “get their game faces on” and not let this opportunity “skate past.”

“It was great to see the energy Pete Carroll has,” Johnston said. “You see it on TV on Sundays; it was awesome to see in person.”

Wildcat Michael Laningham called the visit and Carroll’s talk “a huge confidence builder.”

The whole experience was “really fun and a good opportunity.”

Turner was impressed on how polite and personable the Seahawks were and enjoyed a one-on-one conversation with Carroll.

Oak Harbor also received a tour of the facilities, saw the Lombardi Trophy and “got a feel for where the Seahawks live during the season,” Turner said.

“They were all nice guys,” Turner said. “I applaud them for taking the time out of their busy schedule to spend time with us.”
