Passenger credits driver for quick thinkingBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

A passenger aboard an Island Transit bus is credit-ing the driver with prevent-ing anyone from getting hurt when a runaway tire struck

the bus on North Whidbey Tuesday.

“Dana, our driver, ended up saving our lives because she was able to get control and pull to the side of the road,” Josef Kunzler, a Sedro Woolley resident, said. “We could have flipped over and I didn’t have my seat belt.”

The Island Transit bus was traveling north on Highway 20 when the inci-dent occurred in the area of the Dugualla Bay flats. Driver Dana Gordon was at the wheel.

Shawn Harris, operations manager of the bus service, said a tire that was in the back of an oncoming Dodge pickup suddenly flew out of the back of the truck and struck the bus, sheering off a fender.

Harris said the tire con-tinued on and hit another vehicle.

Kunzler said he heard a loud thud and the bus start-ed shaking, but Gordon was able to get control and pull to the side of the road.

Harris said the video from the bus shows the tire careening toward the bus and suddenly disappear as it hit.

He said it was fortunate that the tire didn’t bounce higher, or it could have gone through the wind-shield.

“It could have been really

disastrous,” he said. Harris also credited

Gordon for taking decisive action.

“She handled it very well,” he added.

The trooper with the Washington State Patrol who responded to the accident couldn’t be reached for addi-tional details.

Residents will have a chance to get involved in pro-moting a replacement levy benefiting the Oak Harbor School District.

Citizens for Better Schools is holding a levy campaign kickoff rally at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14 at North Whidbey Middle School, 67 NE Izett St. in Oak Harbor. The two-hour event will feature live music, provide a chance for people to get

involved with the campaign and pick up signs.

Voters will decide Feb. 12, 2013 whether to approve a four-year levy that will raise millions of dollars to pay for teaching positions, textbooks and computers and help restore staff and programs that have been eliminated through state funding reduc-tions in recent years.

For more information, please go to www.yesoakharbor.org

Kick off set for school levy

Page 3: Whidbey News-Times, November 10, 2012

The Oak Harbor City Council increased the prop-erty tax levy by 1 percent Wednesday following a short discussion.

Oak Harbor Finance Director Doug Merriman explained that 1 percent was the maximum amount the council could increase the levy by without a vote of the people. Under state law, such a tax increase is limited to the lesser of 1 percent or the implicit price deflator, which is a measure of inflation. The IPD to be utilized for 2013 is 1.295 percent.

The 1 percent increase will bring in an extra $40,826 in property taxes next year.

The measure to increase the levy passed unanimous-ly, although councilwom-en Tara Hizon and Beth Munns were absent.

A new program, the Whidbey Island Victims of Violent Crime Roundtable, seeks to bring people togeth-er who have experienced vio-lent crime.

The three-week series will provide resources to this group and allow for survi-vors of violence to meet oth-ers who have experienced a similar trauma to engage in peer support. In addition,

the roundtable seeks input to help identify gaps in services — from the time of the inci-dent through recovery stages — as a way of improving ser-vices to victims.

The first program will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Coupeville Community Bible Church at 502 Otis St. NE, Coupeville. The roundtable is not affiliated with any faith-

based organization.This program is coordi-

nated by Jessica Drain, lead victim advocate for Families and Friends of Violent Crime Victims based in Everett, with

satellite offices throughout the Puget Sound region.

Individuals wishing to par-ticipate should call Drain for an intake process at 360-223-0958. Due to grant require-

ments, victims of domestic violence or sexual assault will be referred to CADA, Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse.

Little changed in Island County races in the third count of votes from the Nov. 6 election.

The Island County Auditor’s Office released the third count Thursday night and won’t be counting again until Nov. 15. A total of 41,857 ballots have been counted, which is 84 per-cent of registered voters.

The auditor estimates that just 150 ballots are left to count, which leaves little chance that results will change in county races. The number of votes increased, but percentages remained the same in the two races for Island

County commissioner.Republican candidate Jill Johnson is

still ahead of Democratic incumbent, Angie Homola, by 2 percent for the District 2 commissioner race. Johnson has 19,973 votes, or 51 percent, while Homola has 19,151, or 49 percent.

Johnson, an Oak Harbor resident, said Friday that she was pleased with her strong showing on North Whidbey and Camano Island.

“I think the results show that the people who knew me best, the people of Oak Harbor and North Whidbey, clearly are behind my leadership style,” she said.

She said the results on Camano showed that resident heard her mes-

sage promoting a strong economy and a more collaborative board of commissioners, as well as ensuring that public safety is a top priority.

She admitted that she has work to do on meeting people and getting out her message on South Whidbey, where voters supported Homola.

Incumbent Commissioner Helen Price-Johnson, a District 1 Democrat, still leads Republican challenger Jeff Lauderdale by more than 4 percent. Price Johnson has 20,399 votes, or 52 percent, while Lauderdale received 18,646 ballots cast in his favor, or just under 48 percent.

Vote counts from the three coun-ties in Legislative District 10 show

that Oak Harbor resident Barbara Bailey, a Republican, is well ahead of incumbent state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen. Bailey currently has 33,030 votes, or nearly 53 percent, while Haugen has 26,536 votes, or just over 47 percent.

Republican Rep. Norma Smith remains far ahead of Democratic challenger Aaron Simpson. Smith has 37,229 votes, or 61 percent, while Simpson has 23,788, or 39 percent.

Republican Dave Hayes is ahead of Democrat Tom Riggs in the race for the other state representative seat in District 10. Hayes has 31,526 votes, or 52 percent, while Riggs has 28,869, or 48 percent.

A trip to Oak Harbor’s new-est bakery will have some people reminiscing.

Kakie’s Donuts and Bakery, owned by sis-ters Karen Hossfeld and Dianne Varshock, are bak-ing an orange bread every Saturday. The treat will bring back memories of the Chris’ Bakery specialty for some longtime North Whidbey residents. That family-owned business closed about a decade ago.

The new family-owned bakery has been producing made-from-scratch baked

goods from its Pioneer Way storefront for several months.

“The idea behind this is to use as much of the resources in the community to produce the healthiest and freshest foods,” Hossfeld said. She stressed that the bakery doesn’t use mixes and has purchased ingredients from Crescent Harbor Farm and Five Acre Farm.

The opening of Kakies has been a long-time dream for Hossfeld, who recently had a career in banking in the United States and Italy before coming back to Oak Harbor several years ago.

“I’ve always wanted to own a bakery since I was very young,” Hossfeld said. She had even gone through culi-nary arts school in San Diego in the 1970s, but she said it was difficult for a woman at the time to work in such an environment. She eventually whet back to college, got a degree in business adminis-tration and entered the bank-ing industry.

She moved back to Oak Harbor in 1997. Her parents had moved here after her dad retired from the Navy. Hossfeld said her dad piloted one of the last planes that departed the seaplane base.

Prior to opening her Pioneer Way storefront, she made specialty cakes out of her home and learned a lot about food while she was liv-ing in Italy.

Kakies Bakery is also serving as a training ground

for people looking into a culi-nary career. She described her employees as “green” as they are still learning the ins and outs of the bakery busi-ness. The bakery employees eight people. Like the former bakery, Kakies will remain

family owned and several of Hossfeld’s relatives are work-ing. In addition to Dianne, Hossfeld’s two daughters are also baking in the shop.

Kakies is operating out of a location that has been the home to several restaurants in recent years. The spot has been home to Pioneer Cafe, Dave’s Bistro and Bay City Bistro.

Hossfeld hopes she’ll be more successful. She said people have enjoyed her baked items and she is plan-ning to increase her selec-tion by soon offering soups and sandwiches.

Kakies Donuts and Bakery is open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and closed on Sunday and Monday.

For more information, call 360-683-6464.

case falls under the safe har-bor provision. He said there are about 12 cases that will be dismissed; the number of marijuana cases have declined abruptly a couple of years ago after state and federal Supreme Court rul-ings limited the ability of law enforcement to conduct searches.

Banks said his office could technically still pros-ecute those pot cases, since they occurred before the initiative was even voted on. But he said that would be pointless.

“I don’t think a jury is going to convict in this coun-ty given the overwhelming support for the measure,” he said.

Initiative 502, the mea-sure to legalize marijuana, was supported by nearly 56

percent of Island County voters, according to the lat-est count. That’s just slightly ahead of statewide results, which have just over 55 per-cent of voters in support of legal pot.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said he hasn’t made any policy changes yet regarding marijuana, but he said deputies obviously won’t be arresting people 21 years old and older for possessing an ounce or less of pot starting Dec. 6. He’s invited an officer from the state Liquor Control Board, which will regulate marijua-na, to talk with law enforce-ment officials on the island.

“Not to say I was in favor of the initiative, but now it’s

important to move forward in a practical way,” he said.

Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said he plans to meet with the city prosecu-tor when she returns from vacation to see how she wants to proceed with han-dling marijuana cases until Dec. 6.

“This does change the entire dynamic and changes the way we do law enforce-ment,” he said.

Brown points out that the medical marijuana law is still on the books; it allows people with a doctor’s autho-rization to possess larger amounts of pot.

Over the next year, the state is supposed to come up with rules governing the

growing, processing and labeling of pot before sales to adults over 21 can begin. The Liquor Control Board will be charged with licens-ing growers and sellers.

The initiative creates a per se limit of blood THC level for driving under the influence. Since there is no breath test for pot, a suspect would have to undergo a blood test.

One selling point of the

initiative is that the state will tax marijuana. An ounce of high-quality pot currently costs about $200 an ounce in Mount Vernon, accord-ing to a website, www.priceof weed.com, that a detective referred the News-Times to.

Both Brown and Banks said the main unanswered question is how the U.S. Justice Department is going to respond. The federal

government could sue to prevent the law from being enacted since it’s contrary to federal law.

Brown said he’s not com-fortable with this conflict between state and federal law and he hopes the federal government works with the state on how to proceed with enacting the initiative.

“I want definite black and white parameters in law,” he said.

by Oak Harbor Police Officer Serloyd Carter.

The witness said he turned around and saw Boon lying unconscious on the ground.

The officers searched for Fleming and found him walking near the Safeway store. After being arrested, Fleming said that he and three friends had been at the Element nightclub and then Mi Pueblo, where he sang karaoke that night.

He said he left the res-taurant and was walking to his grandmother’s house; he denied being involved in an altercation, according to Carter’s report.

In an interview after he returned from the hospital, Boon said the force of the impact broke the back of his skull and caused bleeding in the front of his brain. He was airlifted to Seattle and remained in intensive care for five days.

Boon is still recuperating from the brain injuries. For days and even weeks after the assault, he had trouble walk-ing, performing simple tasks and speaking. For weeks, he had trouble with his memory or even recognizing friends. Boon had to go through intensive physical, occupa-tional and speech therapy after returning home.

Ohme said Boon seemed improved when they spoke recently.

“I think he’s doing better,” he said. “…He’s not 100 per-cent, but he’s doing better.”

Won’t�find�another�coach�like�Romney

Our coach, Neil Romney, was fired this week from coaching after 10 years with North Whidbey Aquatic Club.

To me, Neil wasn’t just a coach.

He knew every single swim-mer’s names, times, strengths and weaknesses. He knew when everyone was working hard or not. But most impor-tantly, he gave us the skills not just for swimming but skills we can use in life.

He taught us determination, proper training and pushed us hard to be better than we ever thought we could be. I have been swimming with NWAC for nearly three years and I am devastated to hear that Neil won’t be there.

I can only imagine how hard it is for the swimmers who are above me and have been there much longer.

It is especially hard because we don’t know why he’s been fired. And nobody will give us the reasons.

The truth is, we will never find another coach who will even compare to Neil. We will never find a coach who cares about us as much as Neil. All we can do is just hope for the best. And try to make him proud.

Sydney Dickinson, age 13Oak Harbor

Coach�pushed�for�successful�team

My swim coach, Neil Romney, of almost three years was fired this week.

Don’t get me wrong, we had our disagreements and problems, but I respect him more than anyone realizes. Yes, sometimes I took his “Neilisms” for granted, but

looking back I appreciate everything.

All the times my goggles filled up with tears from what I thought was an insult was really just Neil pushing me harder than what I thought my limitations were.

All the times I saw the yel-low towel waving reminded me Neil wanted us to suc-ceed.

Finally, all the times I got feedback and grinning from ear-to-ear because I had just earned respect and a high five. It’s the best feeling in the world.

Neil Romney = best coach in the world.

�Proposed�levy�is�a�scam,�vote�against

Voters should reject the Oak Harbor School District’s proposed 2013 Maintenance and Operations Levy. That levy would literally double local property taxes pres-ently being paid toward that single M&O levy and would raise property taxes overall by about 10 percent.

The OHSD’s existing and ongoing property tax bonds — paying for things like a new high school and stadium — are already programmed to increase local school property taxes by 4-5 percent annually, and even more so if property values drop more or stagnate for years.

An additional 10 percent plus up in local property taxes is unjustified.

A main reason our local teachers are so gung-ho about the proposed levy is that they have been promised a 39 per-cent increase in local supple-mental pay if the levy passes, via more “TRI-days,” so they are literally campaigning for their own paychecks.

Via TRI-days, the teach-ers’ union already skims about $1.5 million annu-ally into their own pockets from local discretionary revenues such as Federal Impact Aid and the local M&O school levy. TRI-Day dollars could pay for any-thing and everything that this giant unnecessary levy might.

Local teachers have threatened local business owners who spoke out against TRI-days and teach-ers are conning students in school about school reve-nues. Educate yourself and then vote “no.” The teach-ers are militant and the levy is a scam.

Island�Transit�needs�fire�lane

Lighting is already an

issue with the construc-tion at Island Transit and I anticipate full involvement by EBLA staff and the gen-

eral public living around IT in determining the level of acceptable light pollution from this large project.

We need to know their lighting plan now, because their construction light-ing is already polluting the night for up to a mile in all directions.

The noise and view is also disturbing to all those who live around the area.

Is anyone talking about the lighting, or are they counting on the public for-getting about it — that is, the three or four members of the public who know about the fact that there is no lighting plan approved yet.

Boy, write a grant with no money to do something you are supposedly required to do, and then have no lighting plans for a govern-ment building in the middle of Ebey’s National Park. Goodness.

Don’t forget the all but guaranteed light pollution that will inevitably be a violation of EBLA rules. I don’t hear anyone discuss-ing that, and this area will

never be the same once they throw the master switch on that.

Already, just the work lights in the huge buildings seriously affect the night sky over here — 500 yards away.

Hasn’t anyone followed up on the indication from a concerned owner who was at the meeting when the hearing commissioner ruled that they must have a fire lane, but not a second-ary full-use access?

How can Island Transit not have money to do some-thing they claim is required in the grant they wrote?

Also, it is the under-standing of many local residents that the Hearing Commissioner required IT to have a fire lane access, and not a secondary access that would be used on a daily basis.

Fire lane accesses can be marked with posts known to the fire department and a flower bed can be planted over them — but with the underlying ground suffi-ciently prepared to handle fire trucks if they are ever

needed. The other obvious place

for a second ingress/egress, if they must have one — for which there is no evidence they do, is just to the east of Main Street Collision.

If the roads are going to be widened for left and right turns in this area anyhow, then this is a natural route and would cost much less.

Making a left turn lane into the existing entrance is the cheapest and most sensible option that should have been thought of two years ago.

All of the area residents thought of that within five minutes of hearing that the triangle was going to be turned into a circus.

Again, a fire lane can be done right in front of the buildings, perhaps right where the temporary access is now located for the big earth movers to enter -— just east of the entrance to the Tree Seed Orchard.

to discuss the next steps of the swim program.

“I know there’s a lot of hurt in this group and I recognize that,” Walker said at the start of the meeting.

Many people who attended want-ed to know why Romney was termi-nated from the coaching position, but Walker and North Whidbey Park and Recreation Commission president Scott Vogt offered few answers, citing the advice of the district’s attorney.

In a Thursday morning interview, however, Romney said his firing was retaliation for questioning the business practices and conduct of Walker.

Romney cited two incidents which drew the ire of the district’s execu-tive director. The first concerned an email he sent to swim club parents concerning the chlorine levels in the pool and how it affected air and water quality, which caused discom-fort for the swimmers.

He also questioned how Walker handled allegations of inappropriate behavior by former park district employee. The employee no longer works for the park district and offi-cials took out a petition for an order of protection against that employee to prevent him from entering park facilities.

Romney noted several discrepan-cies concerning how the employee’s employment ended. Walker said in the petition the employee was fired, but he wrote in emails he provided to the News-Times that the employ-

ee resigned.A Loudermill Hearing, which

is held to allow an employee to respond to complaints, took place during a park commission execu-tive session Tuesday night. Romney described the hearing as a “sham.”

He said he was fired for insubordi-nation because he wouldn’t provide Walker access to the swim team’s financial information. He said he was working on getting Walker a password. An email glitch prevent-ed that from being accomplished.

Like Romney, Vikki Robinson, administrative assistant and swim club treasurer, was recently fired from the pool after spending four years working for the district. She said she, too, was fired because of failing to provide access to the swim club’s financials.

She said she never questioned that Walker could have access to the information, but she wanted time to find out if it was legal to give him her password to the data-base. She questioned how the board organized a committee to revise the district’s bylaws.

In addition, she questioned the legality of an executive session where commission members said they supported Walker’s decision to fire Robinson.

“They supported him and that was a vote,” Robinson said in a Friday interview. Publicly elected boards are required to vote and make decisions in public session.

Walker in an email sent Thursday said the allegations made by Romney and Robinson are false.

“My intent was simply to hold one of the district’s many publicly run and taxpayer-funded programs to account,” Walker said in the email. He said that the park district diverts $130,000 to the operations of the swim team.

He said it isn’t acceptable for the swim team staff to block his access to the financial information. Walker added that it isn’t accept-able for the swim team to have checking accounts containing pub-lic money with no accountability to the county auditor.

“My duty is to manage this dis-trict and its many programs with full transparency to the taxpayers,” Walker said in the email.

Walker investigatedVogt announced during the

Wednesday evening meeting that the board of commissioners are investigating allegations against Walker that arose during the Tuesday evening executive session. That revelation was met with skepti-cism by the crowd.

Oak Harbor resident Bon Bainco, who has a child participating in the club, suggested an outside investi-gator should be brought in to exam-ine the allegations.

Other crowd members also ques-tioned whether Walker should be suspended while the commission-ers conducted an investigation.

Vogt, however, rejected that rec-ommendation.

“I’m confident enough, as a com-missioner, not to interfere with his job,” Vogt said.

People attending the meeting also criticized Walker and Vogt for their lack of transparency in informing the community about Romney.

“You had an opportunity to be open and honest and you didn’t do that,” said Carolyn Pape, who has a daughter participating with the Aquajets.

Fellow parent Annemarie Schroeder said children were hurt by the news of Romney’s termina-tion.

“There were kids in tears today. Please don’t ever do it this way again,” Shroeder said.

Walker has already taken steps

to fill Romney’s shoes. Assistant coach Bob Miller was named interim head coach and a recruit-ing effort is beginning to find a permanent replacement. Miller will serve as interim coach until mid-December.

Katelin Fitzgerald is also helping run the team as well.

The coaches will serve at least through the next meet that takes place in December.

As for Romney and Robinson, they are both talking to attorneys, but they both said they are unsure about how they will proceed.

Residents can again voice their opinion during the next commis-sioner meeting 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15 at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, 85 SE Jerome St. in Oak Harbor.

CoaChCONTINUED FROM A1

“There were kids in tears today.

Please don’t ever do it this way

again.” Annemarie Shroeder,

parent

Johnson was also was in favor of the idea.

It’s the right thing to do for the environment and the public because the proposal appears to be the most afford-able off all the known options, she said.

The programLike the original plan, the

program would be adminis-tered by Waste Connections, parent company of Island Disposal. The company is Whidbey Island’s current state-franchised hauler.

As proposed, single stream, curbside pickup would be pro-vided every other week. That means subscribers would not need to sort their recyclables but could throw everything into a 96-gallon bin provided free of cost. Smaller sizes may also be available upon request.

The only exception is glass. It poses a variety of problems for recyclers, such as glass shards damaging expensive equipment at paper mills, so

is not being included. Glass products would continue to be accepted at county recy-cling centers, but residents would have to take them there themselves.

The program would also apply to all of the trash haul-er’s customers on Whidbey Island, estimated to number between 7,000 and 9,000. People would not have to uti-lize the service by using the provided bins, but all would be required to pay the extra fee so the program could be implemented on a company-wide scale.

Current non-customers who self-haul, however, could subscribe for recycling curb-side service only.

The largest difference may be cost. Waste Connection estimated earlier this year that it may be up to 44 per-cent more expensive to imple-ment than its original 2007 curbside program, which was proposed at $6.40 a month.

The increase is the result of a changing economy and, ironically, efforts that began in 2009 by the board to iden-tify an alternative hauler that could not only implement a curbside program for less but also offer a service that

would not be mandatory for Island Disposal customers.

Public Works officials sent out a request for proposals in 2009 for possible haulers but it returned zero responses — not even Waste Connections submitted a bid.

Plans for a curbside recy-cling service languished on the shelf until earlier this year when the county again sought proposals from quali-fied firms.

This time, Waste Connections did respond but it was the only company to do so. Along with its $11.60 plan, it also proposed a program that would be optional for its customers but it would cost $20.65.

Statistics, studiesPublic Works Director

Bill Oakes discussed both options with the board during Wednesday’s meeting. He recommended the cheaper of the two plans, saying it made the most sense financially for the majority of customers.

Those who don’t recycle at all now could see their bill cut in half as recyclables are believed to make up about 50 percent of garbage.

A family who currently pays a monthly rate of $23.94 for two-cans-a-week service might downsize to one-can-a-week for $16.54.

Combined with the $11.60 cost for a curbside program, the ending bill for many fami-lies would be almost negli-gible, Oakes said.

“For me, it would pretty much be a wash,” he said.

Oakes also noted that the new curbside fee is by no means set in stone. In fact, it will likely be less, he said. To establish a curbside pro-gram, the board would adopt a level of service ordinance that directs it’s franchised hauler – Waste Connections – to provide curbside service on Whidbey Island.

The company would be required to put together a formal proposal, which would then undergo a detailed review by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission.

“We expect with WUTC review and county overhead out of that number, it could be less,” Oakes said.

A combined subscrip-tion service would also be more effective in increasing the county’s recycling rate.

Currently, Island County recycles about 32 percent of its waste stream, which is nowhere near the depart-ment’s goal of 50 percent recovery.

The state has a 49 percent recovery rate and the nation-al rate is 34 percent.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson was not so con-vinced, saying the increase for people who pay quarterly would be too much. She said her preference would be for an optional plan that would allow Island Disposal custom-ers to choose if they want to pay more to recycle.

Emerson also claimed studies have shown that the recycling process can be counter productive by creat-ing a larger carbon footprint than what is produced by simply throwing things away.

“I don’t necessarily agree that this is the route to go to provide a cleaner earth for future generations,” Emerson said.

Dave Bonvouloir, solid waste manager for Island County, said a recent carbon footprint study for Whidbey Island demonstrated that “there was no question” a combined subscription curb-

side program would result in the biggest carbon emission reduction for the county.

He also said he had not seen any studies person-ally that compared emissions from the recycling process to transporting solid waste to landfills.

Price Johnson and Homola said the choice was clear.

“You can find studies that show just about any outcome that you want if you look hard enough, but I think over-whelmingly the evidence is that we need to be reducing our carbon footprint on this planet and that we as leaders need to be willing to take bold steps to get there,” Price Johnson said.

“It’s a step in the right direction and I support the combined subscription,” Homola said. “I think it’s time we get on board.”

Oakes said the next step is for the board to adopt a level of service ordinance, which will require Waste Connections to develop a for-mal proposal for review by the WUTC. The ordinance will require a public hearing. He said he hopes to sched-ule the meeting for sometime this month.

Bradly Gene “Brad” Boyer

Bradly Gene “Brad” Boyer, of Oak Harbor, and Anchorage, Alaska passed away on Oct. 24, 2012. Brad succumbed to com-plications from surgeries to repair a damaged knee, while under the care of the David Hospital in Panama.

Brad grew up in Anchorage, graduating from West High School in 1967. He attended Eastern Washington University in Spokane, majoring in the-ater and costume design.

Most of Brad’s working life was spent in areas that allowed him to explore and use his incredible creative talents. He was active in the costuming world and owned a costume shop in Anchorage and the first floral shop in Eagle River, Alaska. He was also well known for his sew-ing prowess, floral design expertise and culinary skills. He expressed those talents everywhere from cooking at wilderness lodges in Alaska, to upscale restaurants in Kauai, Hawaii, to senior centers in Washington. For the later part of this decade he resided in Santiago de Veraguas, Panama and helped his loving partner Steve with the development and operation of a small Bed and Breakfast.

Brad was a loving pet owner who pampered and spoiled the variety of dogs he owned over the years.

Whether it was an Alaskan sled dog, Saluki, Lhasa Apso or Mexican Hairless he loved

the unique and different, making sure they had lov-ing quality homes. Brad was not shy with his opinion, or with sharing it with whoever would listen! That aspect of his personality fleshed out what loved ones referred to as Brad’s “character.” Those who met Brad rarely forgot that experience.

He is survived by his life-partner Stephen Yovan of the Gold Coast, Australia; his four brothers, Doug and John Boyer, Robb Donohue Boyer, Jim Neeley, and sister, Barb Boyer all of Anchorage; mother and step-father Bev and Frank Neely of Anchorage; son Noah Boyer of Sparks, Nevada; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews resid-ing in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.

At Brad’s request there will be no formal ceremony. Loved ones shared a toast to him on what would have been his 63rd birthday on Nov. 3. His ashes will be spread in the water off the coast of Kauai. Contributions to Brad’s memory may be made to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the Transition of Expeditionary EA-6B Squad-rons to EA-18G Growler at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Har-bor, Washington.

The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) gives notice, per the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508, and Navy NEPA regulations in 32 CFR Part 775, that an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been released and a Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) has been issued for the proposed re-alignment and transition of Expeditionary Electronic Attack squadrons to Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.

The Navy released the Draft EA on July 27, 2012 and received public comments on the document from July 27 to August 31, 2012.

The EA evaluates the potential effects of implementing three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative to support the transition of the Expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons at NAS Whidbey Is-land from the aging EA-6B Prowler to the newer EA-18G Growler in the 2012-2014 timeframe. The EA considered potential environmental impacts on airspace and airfield operations, noise, land use, threat-ened and endangered species and other biological resources, water resources, air quality, cultural resources, socioeconomics, and environ-mental management that would be associated with an increase in the number of aircraft, personnel transition, new construction or renovation of structures, and airfield operations necessary to accommodate the transition of Expeditionary VAQ EA-6B Prowler squadrons to EA-18G Growlers. The U. S. Navy determined that the proposed action will not significantly affect the environment.

Since this action would not entail significant impacts to the environ-ment, the Navy has determined that the preparation of an Environmen-tal Impact Statement is not required. The EA, including the FONSI, can be viewed and downloaded at on the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest web site: https://portal.navfac.navy.mil/portal/page/portal/navfac/NAVFAC_WW_PP/NAVFAC_EFANW_PP. Copies of the EA and FONSI have been dis-tributed to the following libraries:Oak Harbor Library, 1000 SE Regatta Dr., Oak Harbor, WA La Conner Regional Library, 614 Morris St., La Conner, WACoupeville Library, 788 Alexander St., Coupeville, WA Anacortes Public Library, 1220 10th Street, Anacortes, WA

Oak Harbor honors veterans Saturday

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

The owner of an Ault Field Road tattoo business could face up to 10 years in prison on a drug charge with “aggravating circum-stances,” according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged 47-year-old Kevin Rollyson in Island County Superior Court Oct. 3 with posses-sion of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.

The charge came with an “aggravating circumstance” because Rollyson’s offend-er score under the Adult Sentencing Guidelines is so high that his conviction would result in some cur-rent offenses going unpun-ished.

A criminal history increases an offender score; Rollyson has 10 felony con-victions, according to court documents.

If convicted of the charge, Rollyson could face from five to 10 years in prison under the standard sentenc-ing range.

Rollyson was released after posting $50,000 bail Oct. 8.

The Oak Harbor Police High Risk Entry Team served search warrants at the tattoo shop and Rollyson’s Oak Harbor resi-dence Sept. 28.

The warrants were based on two controlled drug buys from Rollyson, according to a report by Detective Carl Seim, the department’s drug enforce-ment officer.

At the home, the detec-tives allegedly found a digi-tal scale, a syringe loaded with suspected heroin, mul-tiple plastic baggies con-taining suspected meth, a peanut butter jar filled with baggies of suspected marijuana, a syringe with clear liquid and a loaded .22 pistol on the side of a bed, according to Seim’s report.

Seim wrote that a child was living at the home.

At the tattoo business, the detectives found a mag-azine for a .22 handgun in a safe, the report states.

Bob Miller’s email address begins “retiredcoachbob.” Don’t believe it.

Miller, cork-like, keeps popping up at swimming pools. Several months ago he was hired as an assistant coach for the North Whidbey Aquatic Club. This week he became the interim head coach.

When Miller, 84, accepted the NWAC assistant coach position, he came out of retirement – for the second time.

“When you retire, there are about three hours in the day with nothing to do,” Miller said. His boredom was a boon for the North Whidbey Aquatic Club. Miller is an elite coach and swimmer.

Among his many awards and achievements, Miller

was chosen the American Swim Coaches Association National Coach of the Year in 1973. In 1975, he coached the USA men’s and women’s Pan American teams. A year later he coached the USA national team in a showdown with the Soviet Union.

He also coached numer-ous Olympic and world championship medalists as well as national and world record setters. In recognition of these achievements, Miller was inducted into Pacific Northwest Swimming’s Hall of Fame in 2004 with the first class of honorees.

Miller began his coaching career at 16 while attending West Seattle High School. He convinced the Seattle School District to allow him to put together a group of swim-mers to compete in the state high-school meet. Eventually

he opened several pools in the Seattle area and started the Cascade Swim Club. He coached eight years in Fort Lauderdale and then Oregon before returning to Washington.

Growing up he was more than a swimmer. As a teen-ager he had a tryout with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a pitcher. They invited him to a second tryout in Oregon, but he declined because it conflicted with -- what else -- a swim meet.

He first “retired” in 2002, then jumped back into coach-ing for the Bainbridge Island Swim Club in 2004. He retired for a second time in 2010.

As a competitor, Miller captained the University of Washington swim team in the early ‘50s. In 1956 he was a member of the silver-medal team that placed sec-

ond in the pentathlon at the Melbourne Olympics. He was the Pan American pentathlon individual champion in 1958. Miller continues to swim five days a week, going 2,000 to 3,000 meters each day, and compete. Last year he set a national age-group record in the 200 backstroke.

Miller said the NWAC swimmers were “very dis-ciplined” and “fun to work with.” However, the Aquajets won’t have long to work with the award-winning Miller. He announced recently he will be returning to Arizona next month to give retirement another try.

Coupeville High School volleyball coach Toni Crebbin resigned at the conclusion of this season after a 25-year coaching career.

Over that span she took time off from work but not from coaching.

Now, she said, it’s time to be a mom and “enjoy volleyball from the stands.”

Her coaching journey began in 1987-88 at Oregon State University. After completing her eligibility as a softball player for the Beavers, she served as an assistant coach her fifth year in college while finishing up her degree.

She married Mike Crebbin, the cur-rent Oak Harbor High School wrestling coach, in 1988 and moved to Ridgecrest, Calif., where she coached softball for four years and volleyball for one.

The Crebbins moved to Whidbey Island in August of 1992, and Toni start-ed her Coupeville volleyball stint in the fall of 1993 as the assistant coach. She took over the program in 2003.

Even pregnancy couldn’t keep her off the sidelines. She didn’t work for a year, but coached, while having son Kellen.

She added, “I even coached when I was full-term with Joshua (her second son). I had him Sept. 8, took two weeks off, then hauled him to every practice and game!”

She also served as the assistant Coupeville softball coach for one year and as the head coach for 2004. She com-mitted to coaching softball for only one year because her husband was coaching in Oak Harbor and her family was in the process of adopting daughter Kaia.

Over the years her Coupeville volley-

ball teams won 85 matches and qualified for tri-district in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008.

The Wolves’ most successful year came in 2004 when it won the tri-dis-trict title over No. 1-ranked Bush High School. That win lifted the Wolves into the top spot in the polls.

Coupeville’s only loss during the regu-lar season was to La Conner; the Wolves later beat the Braves in a playoff match when the two teams finished the season tied.

During the state tournament, Coupeville lost again to La Conner, which went on to win the championship.

Two other years stand out, Crebbin

said. Her club finished last in the league standings in 2007 but “surprised every-one” at district to qualify for tri-district. In 2009 the Wolves finished third in the Cascade Conference behind powers King’s and Archbishop Murphy and she was recognized by her peers as Coach of the Year. More memorable than the award, she said, was watching “the girls mesh as a team.”

Crebbin was reluctant to mention any individuals as the most memorable because “there’s going to be some I forget.”

She added, “I love the relationships I have built with so many of the girls over the years. Trusted relationships where many have been my babysitters.”

Crebbin said she enjoyed coaching exchange student Linde Maertin and “loves to see former players become coaches.” Kirsty Crogan coaches at La Conner and Jennifer Bailey and Yashmeen Knox both returned to assist Crebbin in Coupeville.

“Spending time with Bessie Walstad this summer in China was definitely a bonding experience.” Crebbin has gone to China each year since 2007 to work in an orphanage in Chaoyang.

Crebbin said, “I have always tried to model and instill integrity, sportsman-ship and hard work. Also, I emphasize that success is not measured in wins and losses, but in how you leave the gym every practice, every game. With that said, I tried to have fun with the girls while instilling those things.”

“I think what the players remember years later,” she said, “is not so much the records, but the memories we created as being a team.”

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

While I have joined mil-lions of Americans who make daily use of a Kindle, I also have a modest collection of children’s books housed on the bottom shelf in my office for easy access. As a new foster mother to a vora-cious reader, it is a great joy to share my love of literature and it is “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel,” first pub-lished in 1939, that caught my attention this week.

Remember the story? Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, tenderly named Mary Anne, face a crisis: technol-ogy, in the form of new gasoline, electric and diesel

shovels, threatens to put them out of busi-ness.

Unlike other own-ers who chose to

sell their steam engines, Mike is loyal to Mary Anne. Based on his years of experi-ence working with her, he has confidence in their ability to get the job done.

When he reads in his local

newspaper that the town of Popperville is about to build a new town hall, he not only bids on the job but makes a bold promise to the town’s selectmen: he and Mary Anne will dig the cellar in one day! If they fail, the town will owe him nothing.

It is the conversation Mike Mulligan shares with a young child — arriving at sun up to watch the digging begin — that touches me right where I live, some 73 years later in a very different America.

“Do you think you will fin-ish by sundown?” the child asks Mike Mulligan.

“Sure,” says Mike, “if you stay and watch us. We always work faster and better when someone is watching us.”

Americans do not like to be watched. Managed. Supervised or critiqued. We are independent and treasure our freedoms. We like to do our own thing. Have our own schedules. Create our own rules.

The question begging to be asked, in this case, is how do independence-loving Americans have a relation-ship with God who is omni-present — there for all time and in all places? What is it like living with the belief that

the spirit of God surrounds us wherever we go? Are we self-conscious? Guilt ridden? Defiant? Are we invigorated? Motivated? Empowered?

The Bible reminds us that He is watching on a daily basis. That God works through people and events. That if we trust His advice, He will encourage us to make the right decisions through very personal experiences. God’s personal nature can also be soothing, for His continual presence reminds us that He has a never-ending interest in us. He seeks us out. He places in our lives people to love and

pray for us.Mike Mulligan and Mary

Anne dug a little faster and a little better as the crowd gathered that day.

“Hurry, Mike Mulligan! Hurry! Hurry!” shouted the little boy in a voice that rose above the crowd.

As the sun set and the dust cleared, people counted four corners and four neat cellar walls.

“Hurray!” they shouted.God is cheering us on

today because He knows the digging is difficult. But He draws near to encourage a relationship with Him and to foster our best efforts.

T otal world domination. Making minions of every two-legger on Earth. Becoming the supreme ruler. These

are the goals of an Oak Harbor resident, and he will attain them — but only once he has sufficiently basked in the heat of his favorite “fire box thingy.”

This is the life of Cujo, the benevolent dic-tator disguised as a house cat.

His schem-ing and one-of-a-kind views of the world come to life through the words of his great-est minion, Doug Dunn, in two books: “The Cujo Cat Chronicles” and “The Cujo Cat Chronicles 2: The Chaos Continues.”

Dunn moved to Oak Harbor from Texas in 1998 and became the goldsmith at Gerald’s Jewelry. About five years ago, Dunn’s and

his wife, Kathy’s, lives changed for-ever when kitten Cujo chose Dunn as his first minion.

“I walked into her (the vet’s) office and she had this crate full of kittens,” Dunn said. “As soon as I walked in, he (Cujo) climbed to the top of the cage and reached out and slapped me.”

Dunn said he knew he had been chosen. Dunn took Cujo, then known as Raspittin, home and worried that their mam-moth cat Ivan the Terrible — now known as Ivan the Tolerable — might harm the new kitten. Instead, he should have worried about Ivan. When Dunn opened the carrier to release Cujo, the kitten popped Ivan in the nose “and has been boss cat ever since,” Dunn laughed.

An�empire�is�born“The Cujo Cat Chronicles” began

as a blog more than two years ago.

Dunn experienced the power of online communities through a site that monitored a nest of owls. He talked about Cujo with friends he met on the site, “and pretty soon I started posting as the cat,” Dunn said. His friends encouraged him to start a blog and Dunn declined. Finally, a friend told Dunn that if he taught Dunn how to do a blog, Dunn had to do it.

Before long, the humorous tales told through the eyes of Cujo infiltrated the nation and then the world. Cujo procured followers in Germany, New Zealand, Africa, Scotland, France and more.

“It’s kind of blown my mind how this whole thing has snowballed,” Dunn said. He spends two to three hours a night answering Cujo’s fan emails, some of which even come from dog people.

As to Cujo’s reaction to his worldwide fame, “it doesn’t seem to affect him much. He expects it,” Dunn said.

While Dunn plans to hold book signings for the newly released “Cujo Cat Chronicles 2,” Cujo won’t deign to attend.

“It’s a matter of public safety,” Dunn laughed. Since the addition of Cujo’s name to the federal no-fly list, it’s been impossible for Cujo to visit his fans, despite the annual cookouts held in his honor and the Cujo fan cruise the Dunns are plan-ning, Dunn added.

“The Cujo Cat Chronicles” and its sequel are written toward adults.

“It’s all humor. I steer away from politics and religion,” Dunn said. Since Cujo knows he’s the benevo-lent dictator, “the whole diplomatic process never comes into play.”

“There are thousands of cat sites and blogs, and almost invariably they use almost baby language. Looking at this cat, I wanted him to be very well-spoken,” Dunn contin-

ued. While writing, Dunn hears the voice of actor Alan Rickman as Cujo — a problem when Dunn is asked to do readings of his books.

Dunn said he has always loved writing “and humor’s always been a huge part of my life.”

Growing up on a farm, he was

taught not to attribute human emotions to animals.

“So through writing this and getting to know this cat, I’ve gone over to the dark side and said screw it, they have human emotions; sometimes, there’s no other explanation,” Dunn said.

The books consist of a series of humorous vignettes, making the books easy to pick up and read anytime. From diabolical schemes involving Cujo’s nemesis, the overly-cheerful squirrel, to putting the bathroom spider on trial, Cujo’s fiendish humor and huge personality don’t fail to amuse.

“We’ve done take offs of Shakespeare, he rewrote ‘A Christmas Carol’ last year,” Dunn said, adding that he finds it “cathartic” to speak as a cat. He’s planning a third book in the series in which Cujo will take on clas-sic literature.

Furry�friendshipsLiving at the beck and call

of the world’s smallest dicta-tor has changed Dunn’s life. He joked that he no longer has free evenings thanks to the fan mail. But the heart-felt change in Dunn’s life has been the people he has met

along the way.“It’s opened my eyes to

the power of the internet,” Dunn said. When the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake hit New Zealand, the Cujo community began talking about it and helping each other before it even hit the news. Now, people are checking in with each other to see how they are faring after Hurricane Sandy.

“We give each other a lot of support,” Dunn said.

And of course, Cujo sup-ports his two-leggers.

“He’s got to supervise everything. If I’m vacuum-ing, he follows me around to make sure I’m getting every-thing,” Kathy Dunn laughed.

The supreme ruler may spend his days bird-watching and toasting himself in front of the “fire box thingy,” but that shouldn’t fool anyone; when the opportunity to irritate arrises, Cujo is on

it. Dunn’s favorite example happened during the World Series last year.

Dunn bought a laser pointer to entertain the cat so he could watch the games and congratulated himself when his ploy worked the first couple of times. Only too quickly, Cujo realized what Dunn was up to and promptly plunked down so he was blocking part of the TV. By the fifth game, Cujo was so irate at being ignored that he moved to the table so Dunn could see nothing but Cujo’s face.

“I’ve never seen such a troublemaker in my life,” Dunn laughed.

Both “Cujo Cat Chronicles” books, which are published by Xlibris, are available at Wind and Tide Bookshop and the Book Rack in Oak Harbor, from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and as an ebook.

Music has changed drasti-cally in just the past 20 years — imagine how it has changed in the past 800 years. A lec-ture-recital presented by Oak Harbor High School Choir Director Darren McCoy will begin with a time when music wasn’t written down and the idea of harmony didn’t exist.

“The Art in Music” recital takes place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 at Oak Harbor High School. Tickets cost $5 and are available at the door or by emailing [email protected]. Proceeds benefit the choir department.

McCoy, who is the recipi-ent of the KCTS 9 Golden Apple award and who was voted best teacher through the Whidbey News-Times’ Best of Whidbey awards in 2012, will be joined by commu-nity members including Oak Harbor City Councilwoman Tara Hizon, Oak Harbor Christian School voice teacher Meredith Reichman, Whidbey Playhouse actress Heather Good and other local musicians.

Music and a slideshow will

guide the audience through the past 800 years of music, how it evolved and how it affected or was affected by world events.

“I wanted to do a recital that was both entertaining to see kinds of music people don’t really do anymore live, and something that would be educational for students,” McCoy said.

McCoy started planning the recital months ago and has put a great deal of research into the lecture. Not only did he search for music that was most important during each era, but he researched how world events reflected the music of the era.

For example, “Dies Irae” is part of a chant for a requiem mass for the dead. It trans-lates as “Day of Wrath,” McCoy said.

“It’s the perfect kind of explanation for what’s going on in the world,” McCoy said. The Crusades were in full swing at the time, and Genghis Khan had killed about 20 percent of the peo-ple in the world. Then fol-lowed the Black Plague, again decimating the population,

McCoy said.While McCoy said he

doesn’t expect people to fall in love with classical music by hearing more of it, “I think it is the human condition to like to learn.”

“Knowing where music actually came from gives them an appreciation for just how much music has grown and how much it actually affects their life, whether they know it or not,” McCoy con-tinued.

A lot of people in this com-munity do like classical music, McCoy said, and they may enjoy hearing how it changed “from before it was written down to the time of Napoleon to George Washington.”

“People sometimes need a timeline,” McCoy said. “And it’s a lot more fun than a recital where you sing seven songs and then you’re done.”

Through this fundraiser, McCoy said he hopes to raise money for the choir program to buy microphones for the stage. These would benefit the entire high school music program as well as commu-nity groups that use the high school’s stage.
