Deputies sign off on union contractAgreement will bring backpay for officersBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

After six long years, deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office are finally working under a union contract.

In a last-minute push, both sides in the negotiations process were able to com-promise on issues of pay and benefits, according to Deputy Darren Crownover, president of the deputy’s guild.

Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said she is pleased that the sher-iff’s office and deputies were able to come to an agreement instead of continuing to arbitration, which was scheduled for next year.

That would have cost both the guild and the county.

“I think that settling the contract with negotiations instead of asking a court to do it fosters a better working relationship,” she said.

Crownover said he is thankful to the

Detectives seized a large amount of methamphetamine, some heroin and two guns in a drug bust Nov. 16, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies served a search warrant at a Southeast O’Leary Street home in Oak Harbor in the morning and found a resident, Nolan

Brown, 46, sleeping inside a car parked in the driveway, according to report by Detective David Dennis.

A second resident, Amanda Zinn, 19, was arrested on an unrelated warrant.

When it comes to high school competitions, none is quite so delicious as the Student Chef Showdown.

The showdown pits teams of students from the culinary arts and the baking and bas-try classes against one anoth-er as each team prepares a three-course meal for the audience to judge.

“The food was really good,” said Sheldon Stremler, whose granddaughter was a chef in the competition.

“Some of it’s interesting.”Each team had a theme

they stuck with through-out the menu, including French, Russian, Caribbean, two Italian, vegetarian Latin American and Persian cui-sines.

During the event, held Saturday, Nov. 15, at Oak Harbor High School, guests ventured around the room collecting one- or two-ounce samples of the different courses to taste. They then voted on their favorite appe-tizer, entree, dessert and overall team.

“Food is a passion of mine,” said David Marrufo, a chef on the Caribbean-inspired team. He said the competi-tion was “a great experience for anyone who’s interested in a career in the culinary world.

“You get a lot of experi-ence doing this competition, serving, preparing food and

practicing greeting guests.”Two of those guests

Saturday evening were with the Washington Restaurant Association. Kim and Lyle Hildahl both work in the ProStart program, which partners with schools and res-taurants around Washington to provide industry connec-tions to culinary students.

“I help connect the stu-dents with the local restau-rant operators for job shad-owing, mentoring and future employment,” Kim Hildahl said.

Her husband, Lyle Hildahl, runs the Education Foundation with the asso-ciation and often attends the school competitions.

“The fun thing about com-petitions … is it gets all the kids involved,” Lyle Hildahl said. “(It) shows what they can do to the public, get immediate feedback, which is very awarding for them.”

For him, one of the high-lights included the duck con-fit poutine, the entree pre-pared by Patrick Punch on the French-inspired team. It won the best entree.

“He prepared it the way you would normally do it right,” Lyle Hildahl said. “The flavors came out. Letting it rest in your mouth for a little bit, you can just tell how ten-der and flavorful it was.”

The winning appetizer was the Persian baba ganoush, served with flatbread, pre-pared by Cody Gumbel, who

also made the entree for his team.

Gumbel said he was inspired by his past instruc-tional assistant, who is Iranian, to make Persian food.

The other winners includ-ed the Latin American team’s dessert, tuile cups with ber-ries and mango sabayon. The French team won best overall team.

“I liked them all,” Lyle Hildahl said. “There was something about every pre-sentation that stood out.

“More than anything, what I loved was how proud the kids were of the dishes they prepared. It was like they owned it, they loved it.”

The competition also served as a fundraiser for the culinary program to help get the students to larger com-

petitions later in the school year, including a ProStart state invitational, and then nationals, both in the spring.

“I’m just really proud of all our kids,” Lyle Hildahl said. “Oak Harbor in par-ticular has been a standout program. I’m excited to be involved with them.”

Chef Mary Arthur, who instructs both of the classes that participated in the com-

petition, said that the stu-dents enjoy it, as well.

“It’s a favorite thing for the students to do,” Arthur said.

“Every one of them, even the real shy ones, you could tell loved being there; loved what they were doing; loved the fact that they got to cook, bake and serve their family, their friends,” Lyle Hildahl said.

“Type 1 diabetes complete-ly changed our entire life.”

Emili Marrs, mother of three, said that her daughter Jaden’s diagnosis was a com-plete shock.

After the news sank in, living with diabetes became manageable, though.

“We have three healthy and active girls in school, and life is busy,” Emili Marrs said.

With cases of diabetes ris-ing, one Whidbey General Hospital expert says aware-ness and education are key to preventing the disease.

Since Type 2 diabetes accounts for 85 percent of cases and has been “on the increase,” according to Don Miller, it’s important people are aware of the symptoms.

Miller, a certified nurse and educator in the Diabetes Education and Management department at the hospital, said common signs include

increased urination and thirst, blurred vision and feel-ing very tired.

“Those are signs when people have sustained high blood sugars, in the 200s,” Miller said. “Normal blood sugar is under 100 before meals.”

Other symptoms include losing weight without trying, sores that won’t heal and dry, itchy skin.

Though both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes have “some hereditary component,” said Miller, there are ways to help prevent getting the disease.

He recommends maintain-ing a healthy weight, exercis-ing and eating a healthy diet that’s low in simple carbohy-drates.

Type 1 diabetes is an auto immune disease, Miller said. It causes the body to attack the insulin-making cells.

“There is a difference between Type 1 and Type 2,” Marrs said. “Genetics

does play a factor in both types and there is no cure. However, Type 1 diabetes is not preventable and makes you insulin-dependent for life. Type 2 can be controlled by exercise and diet.”

People with Type 2 dia-betes won’t necessarily need insulin injections, he said, while those with Type 1 need insulin on diagnosis.

Regardless of which type a person has, Miller said the treatments include the same elements.

“The foundation always is a diet and exercise program, so even if you need medica-tions, they always work bet-ter if you have an exercise program and a diet that’s con-sistent and at moderate levels of carbohydrates,” he said.

For Jaden Marrs, her diag-nosis means testing her blood sugar 10-12 times a day and taking two different types of insulin. Currently, she is get-ting multiple daily injections

and will soon receive a con-tinual glucose monitor, which will alert her whenever her blood sugar gets too high or too low, eliminating the need for 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. checks, Emili Marrs said.

“A diagnosis like this is devastatingly hard,” Emili Marrs said. “It doesn’t seem real or fair. Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react. You can have a bad attitude about how unfair it is that your (per-fectly healthy-seeming) child gets a disease with no cure, or you can create a plan and move forward.”

Whidbey General Hospital offers classes to educate people on diabetes, as well

as to help manage it after diagnosis.

Every other month, it offers a Preventing Diabetes Class, free to the community. The next is planned for some-time in January.

The hospital also offers a four-class series for people diagnosed with diabetes to help plan a diet and exercise program and to help keep blood sugar controlled.

Those classes are funded by Medicare. The next one is 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, in the hospital’s conference rooms.

While Type 2 diabetes is on the increase, Miller said, “we do see that there are interventions, we call them

lifestyle interventions, that can reverse that.

“We know how to prevent it, and we know they work.”

“As hard as a diagnosis like this is on your child and your family,” Emili Marrs said, “try and take advantage of the learning opportunities that this presents.

“Let nothing in life stop them from reaching their goals. Diabetes is a part of Jaden, but it does not define her or what she is capable of accomplishing in life.”

www.sanjuanrehab.comI started my teaching career at Oregon Episcopal School in Portland from 1949 to 1979 and was

principal the last 14 years. In I957-1959 my husband, Jim, and I cruised in the summers from Anacortes in our 16 ft. outboard boat to Princess Louisa Inlet in B.C. 438 miles, an unusual trip for a small boat. At age 55, we moved to Seattle, Jim worked at Doc Freeman’s Boating Store and I worked as a fundraiser for Lakeside School.

At age 65 we retired, traveled, and enjoyed several more years in our 34” Hans Christian Sailboat. Jim’s health never permitted him to return to Princess Louisa but I made trips in 2002 and 2005. Jim died in 2007 and boating ended for me. I made trips to the Inlet in a tour boat. I’ve now made 14 trips to the Inlet.

I wrote my fi rst book “Adventuring to Princess Louisa Inlet” in 2011. It’s a re-enactment of the 3 trips we made in the 50’s. My second book, “The Gift”, written at age 90, is about the Inlet. The 40 descriptive pages and 73 photos are emotional and show my fl aming love for the Inlet. This deep love was responsible for my gift of one half million dollars to the directors. The amount was a complete surprise to the directors on the night of my presentation, Oct. 24, 2014.

I broke my hip and had been at San Juan Rehab from Sept 25th until November 12th. The excellent care by Therapist’s made improvements but it was doubtful that I could travel to Vancouver B.C. for the presentation of my one half million dollar gift on October 24th. On October 22nd my Therapists at San Juan had me attempt to get into my car to ensure I could safely travel. I could and I was allowed to travel on the 24th. Gone from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., everyone at San Juan was anxious to learn about my presentation. Thanks everyone at San Juan for your excellent therapy, nursing, nutritious meals and all the caring staff that made my recovery possible. I love each of you.

Prosecutors in Montana have dropped felony charg-es against an Oak Harbor woman who was suspected of trying to conceal evidence after running over the body of an accident victim this year, the Livingston Enterprise reported.

Thursday, Sweet Grass County prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss an evi-dence tampering charge against 31-year-old Wyran Young. Park County pros-ecutors earlier dismissed a charge related to leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

Her father, Westley L. Young, 50, was still facing a

charge in Park County for alleged tampering with evi-dence.

Investigators alleged that the Youngs went to a car-wash and washed the man’s remains from a pickup truck she was driving, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Elgie Bedford, 81, of Wasilla, Alaska, was walking on Interstate 90 on Sept. 13, 2013, when he was struck and killed by multiple vehi-cles.

Wryan Young testified in the October trial of David Welk, a truck driver who was found guilty in Sweet Grass County of felony leaving the scene of an accident related to Bedford’s death.

OBITUARIES

Birkeland

Paul BirkelandPaul Birkeland, age 96,

went home to be with his Lord and saviour Friday, Nov. 7, 2014. Paul Maldal Birkeland was born Sept. 4, 1918, in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, to Carl and Sophie Birkeland (nee Lassen). His father was a U.S. Foreign Service officer. Paul spent his early child-hood and teens living with his parents at his father’s assign-ments to many European countries. He attended local schools and learned to speak six foreign lan-guages, Norwegian, Danish, German, French, Polish and Swedish. Paul gradu-ated from the Lycee Francais de Varsovie, a French high school in Warsaw, Poland, and in 1938 traveled to the U.S. to attend the University of Illinois, majoring in politi-cal science. He was a mem-ber of the ROTC and in 1942 earned his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Field Artillery.

Shortly after his assign-ment to Ft. Sill, Okla., he was transferred to the newly established Military Intelligence Training Center (MITC) at Camp Ritchie, Md., where he was in the first class to graduate. In early 1943, he was select-ed for overseas service as Assistant Military Attaché at the American Embassy to the Allied Governments in exile in London, Norway, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland and Belgium.

Because of his previ-ous residence in Poland and near native fluency in Polish, he was assigned to work with the Polish General Staff Intelligence Service in the procurement of intelli-gence in support of the war in Europe. For this he was awarded the Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal by the United States and the Polish Gold Cross of Merit and Order of Polonia Restituta by Poland. After VE Day, the U.S. government reopened its embassies in the previously enemy-occupied countries. Paul, now Major

Birkeland, was assigned as Assistant Military Attaché to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, where he met his wife-to-be, Harriet Jane Downs. Jane was Chief of the U.S. Embassy Code Room. They were married Sept. 1, 1945.

In 1947, at the conclu-sion of his tour of duty in Belgrade, he returned to the U.S., where he was assigned to duty in G-2 (Intelligence) in the Pentagon. In 1949, he was contacted by the CIA with an offer to work with the agency. He accepted and spent the next 25 years as a career officer in the clandes-tine service of the Operations Directorate in both domestic and foreign assignments. He was a 1958 graduate of the Army War College.

He took retirement in 1973 and moved to Oak Harbor but agreed to contract employment with the CIA as a recruiter in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years. He loved to play golf and was a member of the Whidbey Golf and Country Club. He was also interested in boating and was a 25-year active mem-ber of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary working with the Coast Guard in operations and promoting boat safety. He was a life member of the Fraternal Order Sons of Norway and a member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. Since 2009, Paul has been a resident of Harbor Tower Village Assisted Living in Oak Harbor, Wash.

Paul was preceded in death by Jane, his wife of 55 years, and his daughter Janet. He leaves behind daughters Lesley Reifsnyder of Woodbridge, Va., (hus-band Jim Reifsnyder), Carla Birkeland of Everett, Wash., and Ann Garton (husband Keith Garton) of Port Orchard, Wash.; son Paul R. Birkeland of Bozeman, Mont; seven grandchildren, Heather (husband Matt Compy), Eric, Michael, Andrea (husband Josh Nelson), Brian, Yvonne and Joel; and four great-grand-children, Jakob, Jackson, Easton and Lila Jane. Paul also is survived by longtime friend Faye Konopick of Oak Harbor.

A memorial service cele-brating Paul’s life will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. The family has requested that donations be made in Paul’s name to the American Heart Association, or a charity of your choice.

Crawford

June J. Crawford

June J. Crawford, age 98, died Nov. 18, 2014, at HomePlace Memory Care, Oak Harbor. She was born June 8, 1916, in Capper, Okla., one of nine children. She traveled by horse and wagon with her parents at the age of two to Colorado, where her family homestead-ed. Her father was a skilled carpenter and he built a rock house for the family.

The family left Colorado and returned to Oklahoma and then Arkansas. June, as a young woman, met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Crawford. Bob was not able to find work in Arkansas and traveled to Washington and Grays Harbor, where he had an aunt and uncle. He was hired as a logger and later as a truck driver building log-ging roads for Weyerhaeuser. He returned to Arkansas, where he and June were mar-ried Nov. 1, 1937.

June and Bob moved to Brooklyn, Wash., (Pacific Co), where they settled on a 40-acre farm in the North River area. Bob worked in the Saganau logging camp in Brooklyn. Soon, daugh-ters Edith and Linda joined the family. June remained at home, working the farm; she was a mother, hunter, fish-erman, carpenter, gardener, skilled seamstress, horticul-turist and rock hound. June was one of the few women in the North River valley who could drive and soon became the neighborhood shuttle driver for her daughters, as well as her friends.

June and Bob spent 55 years in Grays Harbor. She is probably best known for her fishing skills.

In 1983, June and Bob purchased a home in Oak Harbor, and, reluctantly, they made Oak Harbor home in 1992. Bob died in 1997, just a few days before their 60th anniversary. June remained in her home until she was 95, and for the past several years, she had been a resident of HomePlace.

June is survived by two daughters and their hus-bands, Edith and Larry Porter of Oak Harbor and Linda and Kenneth Rubin of Savanah, Ga. She is survived

by two grandchildren, Jeff and Mike (Ingrid) Porter; by four great-grandchil-dren, Justin, Tim, Melissa and Ryan Porter; and one “adopted” son, Ken Mills, and his wife, Linda. She was preceded in death by her par-ents, Bert and Nina Crown, all seven brothers, one sister and granddaughter Melanie Porter.

Graveside funeral ser-vices for June Crawford will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, 2014, at Maple Leaf Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC.

Memorials may be sent to the Melanie Porter Camp Scholarship Fund at Whidbey Presbyterian Church or to North River Food Bank (a favorite charity) 2597 N. River Road, Cosmopolis, WA 98537.

Peterson

Robert L. ‘Pete’ Peterson

Robert L. “Pete” Peterson, age 80, a longtime resident of Oak Harbor, passed away Sunday morning, Nov. 16, 2014, at the family home, fol-lowing a three-year struggle with cancer.

Pete was born April 13, 1934, in Lost Springs, Kan., to L.L. “Jim” and Mary Francis (Steele) Peterson. He lived there until his graduation from Lost Springs High School in 1951. From there he went to work for the Kansas Department of Transportation for two years.

In early 1953 Pete enlist-ed in the U.S. Navy, serv-ing during the Korean War. Following basic training at Great Lakes, he was sta-tioned at NAS Whidbey. It was during this time he met his future wife and best friend, Peggy Abrahamse, through mutual friends in February 1954. They were married Dec. 16, 1955, in Oak Harbor at the First Reformed Church.

Pete’s life work was in con-struction. He was a skilled carpenter and took great pride in his work for nearly

50 years. He was truly an “outdoors” person. He loved working in his vegetable gardens, driving his tractor and riding lawn mower. He daily fed the deer, raccoons, quail and various other ani-mals that frequented their yard. Pete was also an avid fisherman and hunter. He was passionate about old cars, especially restoring his 1956 190SL Mercedes. His last project was a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that he built into a custom street rod.

For many years, Pete and Peggy spent wonderful times on their Honda Gold Wing motorcycle, which was a spe-cial time in their life together. One of their favorite trips was to Glacier National Park and then on to Kansas to visit with Pete’s family.

Pete is survived by his wife, Peggy; their three children, Jim (Karen), of East Wenatchee, Jill, of Bellingham, and Mike (Amy,) of Sedro Woolley; 12 grandchildren; and two great-granddaughters. He is also survived by his sister, Marilyn Rhodes, of Wichita, Kan.; brothers Richard (Joyce) of Concordia, Kan., Leo of Salina, Kan., and Philip (Jan) of Brookeville, Kan.; and numerous nieces, neph-ews and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents.

A memorial service and Celebration of Pete’s life will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, at the First Reformed Church, Pastor Matt Waite officiating. Private inurnment will take place at Maple Leaf Cemetery. Memorial dona-tions are suggested to the American Cancer Society, 728 SW 134th St., Suite #101, Everett, WA 98204.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITORSecond Amendment

Background checks won’t solve problemEditor,

Recently I read a letter to the editor about gun ownership, specifically the responsibilities of securing those weap-ons properly.

I strongly support our Second Amendment right to own/bear arms. It is a very important right for the public as well as personal safety.

To quote Thomas Jefferson, “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect them-selves against tyranny in government.”

Now very true, more so than ever.I own many different types of fire-

arms, and absent the few I keep avail-able in case the need arises, the rest are stored in a very heavy, secured, fire-proof safe.

I realize many people will say they cannot afford to buy a safe. If you can afford to buy a gun, you cannot afford not to buy a safe.

The incidents of gun violence more often involve people who illegally

obtained a firearm and not legal own-ers such as myself. Theft is one of the primary sources of these illegally obtained weapons.

As private citizens, I believe we have an obligation to society to properly secure the weapons we own, to do the best we can to keep them out of the wrong hands from the neighbor’s curi-ous child on up to the hardened crimi-nal.

We do not have a gun problem. We have a people problem. Prevent the thefts and, for the love of God, some-one in government please have the guts to pass laws that allow thorough, no-stone-unturned background checks on all gun sales.

I don’t give a hoot who that back-ground check might offend.

A mentally ill person should not be able to buy a gun. It has happened many times and resulted in disaster.

I do not believe for a minute any laws are going to completely stop this problem. Good security practices and legislation with some teeth can go a long way to preventing much of the violence.

Remember, banning guns only helps the crooks.

Bob and Patti StalloneFreeland

Letter

Choosing to not vote isn’t tacit approvalEditor,

In response to Mr. Robert Jobe’s Nov. 14 letter to the editor, “Low voter turnout was ‘disgusting,’ ” my vote is earned, not obligated.

If I don’t vote, it’s because I choose not to vote. It’s not because I’m com-placent or apathetic, and certainly not because I’m disgusting.

It’s because nobody has earned it.I’m willing to live in a society that I

disagree with, and I feel no guilt, nor any responsibility, for it. My non-vote is not tacit approval of the winner.

Others have chosen the winner, not me. If I’m not given a choice that I feel is worthy of my approval, then why would I compromise my values by choosing a lesser of two evils?

That’s like borrowing to pay off debt — when does it stop? I do appreciate your passionate desire for an involved citizenry; however, by not voting, I’m making a statement: I will not compro-mise; our society demands better.

David ColemanOak Harbor

Democrats are trying to sort out what went wrong in the election and why the presence of Initiative 594 on the ballot didn’t motivate more of their voters to turn out.

Party leaders believed a small boost of pro-Democrat voters in just the right plac-es could swing a close race and maybe upend a targeted Republican.

It didn’t play out that way. Democrats lost seats in both chambers — some-

times in communities where the measure is passing handily.Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King

County and four in the House, deposing three incumbent Democrats. Those seats are in districts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap counties.

Initiative 594 is passing in all those counties, except Mason, according to data assembled thus far by initiative supporters.

“I don’t think it hurt us, but I don’t think it helped us to the degree that we thought it would,” said Adam Bartz, executive director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

One explanation is that, in spite of polls detailing the mea-sure’s popularity with voters, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative.

Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively campaigned for it and won with 54.5 percent.

Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure. They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994, when the group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban.

The NRA flexed its muscle again three years later by help-ing upend a statewide gun control-related initiative.

Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994.

Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly.

“We didn’t energize our base enough, and the other side did,” he said. “I just think we got caught in the wave.”

Backers of Initiative 594 wonder if Democrats may revise their analysis when the final election numbers are known.

While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing on the strength of votes from Democrats, Republicans and indepen-dents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place.

“We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign.

“That’s a message candidates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said.

And one that Democrats may wish they had paid more attention to in the election.

WHIDBEY ACTIVITIES

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

Anthony Longoria will never forget the look on his father’s face.

Longoria was on leave from the Navy and visiting his father at his home in Dallas last month when his cell phone rang.

Waiting word on his lat-est application into Officer Candidate School, Longoria recognized the first six digits of the phone number as being from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and his heart started to race. He answered the phone, rec-ognized his commanding officer’s voice and listened to him state the news he had waited years to hear.

Longoria excitedly put the device on speaker phone as his commanding officer, com-mand master chief, executive officer and division officer all offered congratulations through a conference call back at NAS Whidbey in Oak Harbor.

Meanwhile, Mark Longoria sat on his couch and stared at his son.

“My dad’s eyes were wide open,” Anthony said. “You could see how proud he was.”

Anthony Longoria’s accep-tance into Officer Candidate School wasn’t something that was supposed to be in the cards for someone who grew up a troubled teen, barely graduated from high school and didn’t take military ser-vice seriously at first.

Even when he enlisted in the Navy Sept. 11, 2006, his decision was partly based on

the “shiny shoes” and sleek uniform worn by his recruit-er, not so much about the American flag and protecting freedoms.

“He wanted to be that guy,” Mark Longoria remembered.

But something happened to Longoria in the years after he stumbled early in military life.

He grew up.Running into off-duty

trouble twice less than two years after enlistment, he faced non-judicial punishment each time and was concerned his Navy career might be short-lived.

He believes what saved him was his tireless work ethic, superior test scores, ability to be a self-starter and impressions he’d made on his superiors who saw something special in him and ultimately recommended not to give up on the teenager quite yet.

“Captain looked at me and said, ‘Airman Longoria, this is your last chance. Most peo-ple don’t get a third chance in the Navy.’”

Longoria charted a course to shed his “trouble-maker” label and kept his nose in the books to move up the ranks.

While on deployment to South America, he remem-bers studying after working the night shift and falling asleep in front of his laptop.

Before he turned 20, he made third class. By 21, he was second class.

Now 26, Longoria is an aviation support equipment technician first class with the Fleet Readiness Center Northwest at NAS Whidbey.

Since arriving in Oak Harbor four years ago, his

own expectations of himself have continued to soar.

He enrolled at Brandman University to pursue a bachelor’s degree and gradu-ated with honors with a 3.67 grade-point average in June.

Twice, he applied to Officer Candidate School through the highly-com-petitive Seaman to Admiral program for enlisted sailors but got alternate status each time.

“I was the No. 1 loser two years in a row,” he joked.

After completing his bach-

elor’s degree in computing technology, Longoria applied again, entered into a mas-ter’s program and anxiously waited for an answer.

He got the answer he wanted last month in Texas.

“I couldn’t be more proud of him,” Mark Longoria said. “He’s come a long way.”

Longoria leaves today for Officer Candidate School, which will encompass 12 weeks of intense training in Newport, R.I., starting Sunday morning.

He was originally slated to

go in March but got word of another opportunity.

“They said, ‘There’s one slot available if you can leave in two weeks.’”

Having spent his entire military service among the maintainers, he’s embark-ing on a new pursuit as a commissioned Naval Flight Officer.

He’s proud of his back-ground and the perspective it will bring.

“I know what it’s like. I’ve been there,” he said. “There are a lot of aviators

that I’m not saying they don’t appreciate it but they don’t really appreciate it as much if they’ve never been down there at one time doing the dirty work. Someone is going home greasy and oily and with fuel under their nails every night so that they can fly.”

As he watches jets soar in the skies above Oak Harbor, Longoria is lifted. To him, it’s the sound of a skyward career.

“It’s like music to my ears,” he said.

county leadership, especially the commissioners.

“We’ve been living on 2008 wages,” he said. “It’s nice to bring the guys up to 2014 wages.”

While negotiations were stalled with deputies, the county was able to give cost-of-living raises to other employees.

The settlement will cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the commissioners saved for the eventuality, said Budget Director Elaine Marlow.

Island County commis-sioners approved the con-tract this week. Crownover said the members of the guild overwhelmingly voted to support it.

Under the settlement agreement, deputies will get lump-sum payments of retroactive wage increases, though the payout may not come in time for Christmas.

Marlow said the backpay will cost the county about $700,000; about $600,000 of that is actual backpay, while the rest is payroll tax and retirement costs.

She estimates that the average deputy, who cur-rently makes about $60,000 a year, will get $18,000 to $20,000 in backpay. The department has 35 deputies, but a couple are newer and will receive only a year or so of backpay while more-senior members of the department will receive more.

Only deputies currently employed will get the back pay; those who are retired do not qualify, she said.

Marlow said the goal is to get the money to the deputies by the end of the year.

Under the contract, the deputies won’t receive wage increases for the years 2009 and 2010, which was when the county made deep cuts to balance the budget.

But they are receiving the following wage increases: 1.5 percent for 2011, 3 percent for 2012, 3.5 percent for 2013, 4 percent for 2014 and 2 per-cent for 2015.

The deputies agreed to drop their medical plan and go to less-expensive options, Marlow explained.

In addition, Crownover said the guild will drop its lawsuit against the county for alleged violations of the open public records law.

Marlow estimates that the wage increases will cost the county an extra $352,000 next year in deputies’ salaries, but the change in medical plans will save the county about $50,000.

Marlow explained that county officials have the money set aside in a reserve account for the backpay. In addition, she said there’s a contingency amount ear-marked for the wage increas-es in next year’s budget.

In total, the county will pay the deputies roughly $2.8 mil-lion in wages and $1.2 million in benefits and retirement in 2015, Marlow said.

Crownover said the agree-ment should do wonders for morale.

“It’s been six years of frus-tration,” he said. “I’m sure we’ve frustrated them as much as we were frustrated as well.”

gesture to the community he’s called home for three decades.

In September, he gave the city a sculpture he made of a Native American fisherman to recognize the city’s earli-est inhabitants.

Lewis began discus-sions with Oak Harbor Arts Commission member and local historian Peggy Darst-Townsdin several years ago about the need to bring attention to the city’s early pioneers.

Barrington was identified because of his prominent role in early Oak Harbor history as a businessman, sea captain and landowner.

Although he wasn’t among the first wave of donation land claim owners, Barrington purchased two major claims and took own-ership of much of the water-front property that makes up the city’s historic downtown core, said Darst-Townsdin, who is Barrington’s great-great-granddaughter.

He also opened the first general store/saloon in Oak

Harbor on the main street through town that bears the name Barrington Avenue.

That road kept the name for about a century until being renamed Pioneer Way in the 1950s.

“It was the first general store,” Lewis said. “I’d liken that to the first Walmart. He was it.”

Darst-Townsdin said McCrohan’s mark on Oak Harbor also was significant.

“When Captain Barrington passed away in 1883, she inherited a lot of the land,” Darst-Townsdin said. “She had a lot of land plotted out into lots, setting aside that (Oak Tree Park), now Smith Park, could remain a town park.

“In a way, she officially established the town as a plotted-out city with lots of town parks.”

Lewis said he is about 80 percent done with the sculp-ture, needing to add detail to the faces and hair “and smooth things out.”

He said the piece is sim-ilar in size as the “Island

Spirit” Native American sculpture. It is 3 feet tall and will rest on a 3-foot pedestal.

Lewis plans to take his proposal to the arts com-mission in the spring. He is asking that the city cover costs for bronze casting just like it did with the Native American artwork.

Oak Harbor’s Ron Wallin designed, built and donated the base for that project.

Lewis estimated the bronze casting would cost about $12,000 for the Barrington piece, which is about double the cost of the Native American sculpture because there are two fig-ures to cast instead of one.

If the proposal meets commission approval, the matter will go before a vote of the city council.

The idea is for the Barrington piece to join other sculptures on Pioneer Way at roughly the location of the old Barrington gen-eral store at the east end of street.

Lewis also created the bronze of a Dutch boy sweeper at Windjammer Park.

“I don’t know what my next project will be,” Lewis said.

session of meth with intent to deliver, possession of heroin and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Churchill agreed with the deputy prosecutor’s recom-mendation to set Brown’s bail at $150,000.

Deputies who served the search warrant said they found cigarette cases contain-ing suspected illegal drugs inside the car.

Inside one car was a plas-tic bag with a golfball-sized amount of suspected meth, according to the police report.

Detective Ed Wallace said the 33.93 grams of meth is worth about $2,700.

The deputies said they also found suspected heroin, $300 in cash and a glass pipe, the report states.

In addition, they found a locked, 400-pound floor safe. When the deputies asked Brown for the combina-tion, he said he didn’t own

it, according to Wallace’s report.

The safe was taken to another location and opened.

Inside the safe depu-ties found documents with Brown’s name on them, as well as a loaded Taurus .38-caliber revolver and a stainless Walther PPK .380-caliber pistol with a load-ed magazine in it, Wallace wrote in the report.

Brown has three felony drug-related convictions. He was the owner and opera-tor of O&J Sales on Goldie Road when it was raided by deputies. They seized more than 94 grams of meth and arrested Brown, according to court documents.

The health department closed down the dealer-ship because tests showed extreme levels of meth con-tamination in an office build-ing and in cars.

The clean-up cost thou-sands of dollars.
