80-year-old grandfathers both killedBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

A 30-year-old homeless man named Joshua Lambert stabbed his grandfather to death with an ice pick and tied up the elderly man’s sister with clear packing tape, leaving her to lie helplessly and watch her brother die, according to a report by the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

But the horror didn’t end there. Lambert is a suspect in a second deadly stabbing that occurred a short time later at a different North Whidbey home, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks announced in court Tuesday afternoon.

The victims are both 80 years old and they are both Lambert’s grand-fathers. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown identified them as George David Lambert and August Eugene Eisner.

The motive for the killings, Banks said, was that Lambert “desperately wanted firearms” and the victims resisted.

Lambert, looking confused and unsure, made his prelimi-nary appearance in Island County Superior Court Tuesday afternoon. He’s initially facing charges of first-degree murder and first-degree kid-napping. Banks asked the judge to hold Lambert without bail under a new state law that was passed in the wake of the quadruple police

Despite some complaints that new regulations threaten Central Whidbey residents’ rights, unified design guidelines were approved during a Monday morning meeting.

The Coupeville Town Council and the Board of Island County Commissioners approved unified design guidelines and code for resi-dents living within the 17,000-acre Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, which includes the town of Coupeville.

Central Whidbey resident Wilbur Bishop said new language banning murals inside of town limits violated his rights.

“It’s my right if I want to have a mural,” Bishop said in front of a crowd of nearly 20 people during a Monday morning public hearing in the commissioners’ hearing room. He presented examples of murals painted on buildings throughout the reserve.

Town Planner Larry Kwarsick said the mural ban in Coupeville came up in recent weeks. He said there isn’t any discussion of murals in the town’s ordinance and the town

council didn’t want to entertain such language in the new rules.

The guidelines address many issues, among them types of allow-able paint and siding, roofing mate-rials, fencing, commercial towers, billboards and invasive plants.

Officials from Coupeville, Island County and Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve have been work-ing for nearly three years to devel-op a new set of design guidelines for properties located within the reserve. The document provides a unified set of rules that proponents say will streamline the process to get projects approved while preserving the reserve’s historic character and allowing farming to remain viable.

The new regulations set up a three-tiered design review process for a Certificate of Appropriateness needed to approve projects, depend-ing on their complexity.

Some attending the public meeting worried that a certificate of appropri-ateness will quash new projects.

“It seems like that is the hammer the historic commission will use to stop a project,” said Coupeville resi-dent Robert Warder.

Kwarsick said the Historic Review Commission doesn’t have the author-

ity to prevent a permit from being issued. The commission’s decisions will be reviewed by town and county planners. If any decision is found to violate the law, the planners will over-turn the commission’s decision.

Coupeville resident Bill Ethridge said he saw quite a few red flags that could open the county and the town to civil suits.

Kwarsick complimented Ethridge on being a good custodian of his his-toric property and said he won’t see any change in the penalties involved in violations.

“Penalties proposed in the code are penalties in the existing code,” Kwarsick said.

Town council members and county commissioners were pleased about the new regulations. Several pointed out the annual review pro-cess that will take place.

County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson described the process of compromise that occurred for the regulations to get approved, but expressed confidence in them.

“I think we are in a good place,” Price Johnson said.

A nine-member Historic Preservation Commission will be created to make recommendations on property within the district.

Interested individuals should provide a letter of interest and a resume to the Island County Board of Commissioners, Attn: Pam Dill, Re: Ebey’s Landing HPC, Post Office Box 5000, Coupeville, WA 98239. The fax number is 679-7381. Deadline is Nov. 5. For further criteria and other details email Pam Dill at pamd@co.island.wa.us.

Tom Gilpin thought he was in excellent health when he attended dog agility trials at Windjammer Park on Sept. 16. He finished run-ning around the courses with his dog, feeling fine.

“Next thing I knew, I woke up in the back of an ambulance,” Gilpin, of Snohomish, said.

Gilpin had a heart attack and collapsed. If three off-duty nurses hadn’t immediately started CPR, Gilpin most likely would have died.

Carol Knaack, a certified critical care nurse for Whidbey General Hospital, was competing at the show. As she was walking her dog, she heard someone calling for a doctor or nurse and she hurried to help.

A bystander called 911 immedi-ately and as Knaack arrived, people were starting chest compressions, which she said is the right thing to do. She and others took turns per-forming CPR and mouth-to-mouth respiratory support.

Two minutes later, Oak Harbor Police Department officers Mike Clements and Robert Mirabal arrived with an automated external defibrillator, which all police cars are equipped with. Clements took over CPR while Mirabal hooked up the AED.

They lost Gilpin’s pulse a minute later. It was time for a shock with the AED.

Moments later, Gilpin opened his eyes and asked what happened.

“It was one of the best things I’ve seen done by the public,” said Rich King, Whidbey General Hospital paramedic.

The Whidbey General Hospital Emergency Medical Services Paramedics/Emergency Medical Technician team arrived four min-utes after 911 was called. They performed post-resuscitation care, including inserting an IV and oxy-gen.

Gilpin had never had a heart attack before.

“Certainly I’m lucky to be alive from what the doctors told me. Had it happened in another place or time, I wouldn’t have lived,” Gilpin said. Had he collapsed a few minutes later at his car he might not have been seen in time.

“If the individuals at the dog event hadn’t recognized he was in cardiac arrest and simply called 911 hoping for the best until help arrived, he would have most certainly not sur-vived because for every one min-ute that someone in cardiac arrest doesn’t get CPR, survivability goes down 10 percent,” said Robert May, Whidbey General Hospital para-medic and public education officer.

“It can happen to anybody and we as a community need to be prepared to help one another,” Knaack said.

In 41 years of nursing, this was the first time she’s been involved in a life-saving event outside of the hospital.

“It was a very satisfying experi-ence because people came together -- locals, the police, an ambulance -- and we had the proper equipment,” Knaack said.

The AED was provided through a federal grant that the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation obtained earlier this year. Twenty-six AEDs provided by the grant were distributed throughout the community.

“The public should learn CPR and I would love to see AEDs every-where,” King said.

Emergency Medical Services has made it a goal to teach everyone on Whidbey Island the simple CPR used to save Gilpin and to train every organization that received an AED how to use it.

The CPR program is called Friends and Family CPR and teach-es hands-only CPR.

“It’s vitally important for all Whidbey Island residents to learn this new simple yet effective CPR because in 10 minutes we can teach

anyone 9 years of age or older how to recognize a person whose heart has stopped, to call 911 and then to perform chest compressions to ‘be the beat’ for the minutes it will take the Emergency Services Team to arrive,” May said.

CPR is vital because if the heart stops beating, blood stops flowing to the brain and organs and may result in death. Heart disease, often appearing as a heart attack, is the leading cause of death in the United States, May said.

About every 25 seconds, an American will have a heart attack and approximately one person every minute will die from a heart attack, May said.

If someone collapses and is unre-sponsive or breathing abnormally, Knaack said it’s important to call 911 and begin CPR.

To perform CPR, place the vic-tim on a hard, flat surface then push hard, deep in the center of the chest. Compress the chest two inches, 100 times a minute, letting the chest recoil naturally.

Don’t stop until the victim shows signs of life or paramedics arrive.

Warning signs of a heart attack

aren’t just chest pain. Discomfort in the center of the chest that feels like pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain can be a sign, as well as dis-comfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach. Shortness of breath, with or without chest discomfort, breaking out into a cold sweat, nau-sea or lightheadedness may also be warning signs of a heart attack.

“We say ‘call early, call often.’ If you’re having chest pain, don’t wait for a heart attack; call 911 and try to prevent it,” May said.

Making healthy diet and exercise choices is also important for pre-venting heart attacks, May said.

Gilpin was transported to Skagit Valley Hospital. As he left Windjammer Park in the ambu-lance, he was already asking for the names of the nurses who saved him so he can send thank-yous, Clements said.

Gilpin is recovering and receiv-ing cardiac care he didn’t realize he needed. He’s taking cardiac rehabil-itation classes to learn about healthy diet and exercise choices.

May will teach the Bell Vernon Kennel Association that held the dog agility trials a CPR and AED

class. They purchased an AED to take to future events.

Gilpin said he took a CPR class once. He plans to take more.

“If he hadn’t had that CPR he would have died. What saved him was the community coming togeth-er, people knowing how to do CPR and work as a team,” Knaack said.

To schedule a CPR class for an individual or group, call Whidbey General Hospital EMS at 678-7620.

Timely CPR saves man’s life

Whidbey General Hospital Emergency Medical Services Paramedics/EMT team Steve Cope and Sean LeVine prac-tice CPR, resuscitation and a defibrillator on a mannequin training tool that gives instant feedback on the quality of the CPR. “That’s the difference between the person surviving or not,” said Robert May, Whidbey General Hospital paramedic and public education officer. Various heart rhythms that require AED shocks can be programmed into the mannequin for AED training.

Jessie Stensland / Whidbey News-Times

Detective Rick Felici with the Island County Sheriff ’s Office was one of several deputies armed with rifles Monday afternoon at the site of a murder and kidnapping on Oldenburg Lane, just outside of Oak Harbor. The deputies were on alert at the time because the suspect, Joshua Lambert, was still at large and was considered armed and dangerous. Lambert was arrested shortly afterward in Oak Harbor.

Jessie Stensland / Whidbey News-TimesIsland County Sheriff Mark Brown holds up a photo of suspected killer Joshua Lambert during a press conference Tuesday morning.

killings in Lakewood. He said “the horrific and violent nature of the stabbing” was “clear and convincing evi-dence of Lambert’s propen-sity for violence.”

In addition, Banks pointed to Lambert’s lengthy crimi-nal record. He said Lambert had served a five-year sen-tence in Alaska for assault with a deadly weapon and had returned to Whidbey Island sometime in the last year. In Washington, he has felony convictions for unlaw-ful possession of a firearm and malicious mischief, as well as seven gross misde-meanor convictions.

Banks said Lambert is a transient who does not appear to have support in the community. He emphasized that Lambert faces a lengthy sentence, a minimum of 27 to 28 years in prison, if con-victed of the crimes.

Judge Vickie Churchill agreed with Banks’ assess-ment and ordered that Lambert be held in jail with-out bail.

The affidavit of probable cause written by Detective Ed Wallace describes the events that occurred at George Lambert’s home on Oldenburg Lane, just west of Oak Harbor city limits. George Lambert’s sister, 66-year-old Kay Gage, lived at the home with her brother.

Gage told detectives that she was outside the house at about 1:30 p.m. when Joshua Lambert came walking up the driveway and asked to see his grandfather. Lambert went into the house, but Gage heard a commotion a few minutes later and went to investigate.

She entered the house and saw the younger Lambert holding what she thought was an ice pick in his blood-covered hands. He struck her over the head with the handle, bound her hands and feet with packing tape and demanded to know where the guns were, the affidavit states.

“Kay was left on the floor at George’s feet where she watched him die while she heard Joshua ransack the house for approximately an hour,” Wallace wrote.

Finally, Lambert took the keys to Gage’s Chrysler Pacifica and left after threat-ening to kill her if she called the police, the report states. Nevertheless, she man-aged to get her hands loose enough to get hold of her brother’s cell phone and call for help.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said Gage’s

physical injures were rela-tively minor.

“There was a lot of mental trauma from what she wit-nessed,” he said.

Deputies responded to the scene of the murder at about 3 p.m., then received another 911 about a half an hour later from a home on Hastie Lake Road. They discovered the body of August Eisner, who had also been stabbed to death, but the assailant was gone.

By 3:30 p.m., law enforce-ment officers in Island County, Oak Harbor and Skagit County were search-ing for Lambert and the Chrysler.

Brown said the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office focused on La Conner because Lambert’s mother apparently owned a tea shop there. In addition, Whidbey General Hospital’s emergen-cy room was closed to all but essential employees while the search was ongoing.

At 5 p.m., an Oak Harbor resident reported seeing a man running through a back-yard near a wooded area off N. Oak Harbor Road, accord-ing to Brown. The Oak Harbor police responded and arrested Lambert in the middle of the intersection of NW Crosby Avenue and N. Oak Harbor Street.

Brown said Lambert’s clothes were covered in blood and he was carrying a suspected illegal substance. The sheriff said Lambert didn’t resist arrest, but later became violent at the county jail and had to be subdued.

Oak Harbor resident Kyle Peterson said he saw the police arrest Lambert in the middle of the street. He said it was shocking to learn that the murders had occurred on Whidbey Island.

“That’s crazy,” he said. “You just don’t expect to see that on this island.”

Brown said the Washington State Crime Lab is process-ing evidence at the house on Hastie Lake, while his detec-tives are handling evidence in the other home.

Brown spoke at a press conference Tuesday morn-ing and described the hor-rific events that have shaken the quiet community.

“This is a huge blow to my community and the citizens here,” he said, but expressed thanks for the help of the 911 dispatchers in coordinating communica-tion during the chaos and the Oak Harbor police in apprehending an “extremely violent suspect.”

An old barn could find a new home.

Coupeville builder Dan Miranda wants to move an antiquated barn a couple of blocks away to the com-munity green behind the Coupeville Public Library. The large field is also home to the Coupeville Farmers Market.

The barn, which is 30 by 20 feet in size, is located next to the Holbrook House on NW Eighth Avenue, which is located across from the Lovejoy Inn. At one point, the barn was used as a place to build boats, Miranda said.

“It’s a pretty cool struc-ture,” he said, saying the building occupies such a large portion of the 75-by-80-foot lot, that he doesn’t have

enough room to build a new home for his mother-in-law.

Rather than tear down the barn, he offered — at his own expense — to move the build-ing basically down the hill to the field and he would help place a new foundation on the structure.

He said the barn could be converted into public rest-rooms or storage space for the farmers market.

Miranda said he didn’t have a dollar amount on how much the move will cost.

Mayor Nancy Conard announced the arrangement during a recent Coupeville Town Council meeting. She estimated the costs of mov-ing the barn could reach $20,000.

She said if Miranda applied for a demolition permit, the town would have to issue one

because the barn’s size elimi-nates an economic benefit of the property.

Miranda said he has fielded calls from artists and others interested in acquir-ing the wood that comprises the barn should he choose to dismantle it; however, he is more interested in moving the structure.

“I think it’s fantastic that they’ll find a new home and a new use for the barn,” said Mark Preiss, man-ager of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, Wednesday afternoon. He added that moving the build-ing is the best adaptive re-use of the old barn. The barn’s proposed location would be near the one-time Krueger farmstead.

Conard said during the council meeting that the town

will talk with nearby property owners and stakeholders associated with the commu-nity green before making a formal decision.

She added that the town might ask help from the Ebey’s Reserve field school in replacing the roof of the antiquated structure. The town is also going to apply for grants to help pay for the roof.

Miranda said he hopes the town will make a decision about the barn soon so he can get started on moving the building and then con-struction of the new home can begin.

He hopes the Town Council will approve the barn relocation during its Oct. 11 meeting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I have known and admired Jim Slowik for many years. I have not only observed Mayor Jim Slowik in action, but have worked with him closely on many community projects. We are both mem-bers of the Whidbey Task Force, made up of a few community leaders, headed by Al Koetje, former Oak Harbor mayor for 25 years. This group most likely saved NAS Whidbey from being shut down after it was on the closure list.

Jim was the co-chairman with me of the Rotary group that raised over $600,000 for the new Oak Harbor High School stadium. He was also a very active member of both of the committees on the lev-ies for the stadium and the remodel of the high school. The process took several years and was tedious, but I am proud to say they were

both successful and Jim Slowik had a major share of the projects’ success.

Jim has been a successful business man while owning and operating a car dealer-ship in Oak Harbor and was a vice president for Whidbey Island Bank.

He has been a very suc-cessful mayor, one that has taken on all the problems and took the responsibility for all outcomes in the spirit of, “Even though the skipper may have been asleep when the ship went aground, he was still in charge and responsible.” Jim has never cowarded away from any problem, including his duty to his country, being a vet-eran Marine.

If someone asked me to name 10 of the nicest, most dedicated, most experienced and an all-weather friend, I would name Jim Slowik and he would be near the top of the list. I do not live in the city limits, so I cannot vote for Jim, so do me a favor and

support him on the ballot. Compare the candidates and the choice will be simple. Jim wins in all categories.

over 9/11

I cried this evening, Sept. 11. I cried while sitting on our moon-drenched deck with two cats on my lap drinking in the Salish Sea before us. I cried for the humans that perished in Manhattan, on airplanes and in the rolling hills of west-ern Pennsylvania. I cried for their friends and loved ones. Although I didn’t lose anyone, I lost them all! I choked up at church as a remembrance message was sent. I cried out on our back deck in the middle of the afternoon because I didn’t know what else to do. I read every scrap of newspaper that we receive, every word,

I read the names of all of those who were taken from us published in the Everett Herald, a difficult task. My laptop screen is blurry at this moment. Must be the humidity. I’ll cry again!

I was outraged to read about the animal cruelty that was described in the Sept 21 article by Jessie Stensland. This case of animal abuse and neglect is all too common in our local communities.

The people responsible for this atrocity should be locked up and held without food or water for as long as they did to this poor dog. Justice, jus-tice, shall you pursue! Please do not allow this type of ani-mal cruelty to continue in our communities. Who speaks for those without a voice?

IN OUR OPINION

Officials from Island County agencies have reacted too negatively lately to reports from the Washington State Auditor’s Office.

By law, the Auditor’s Office goes through the books of local governments, from the county and cities on down to fire, port and other taxing districts, on a regular basis. The cost is charged to the local agency, but this is an example of an “unfunded mandate” from the Legislature that is a positive thing. Just knowing that a state auditor will be coming makes it a priority for local taxing districts to fully account for their spending.

Island Transit Director Martha Rose reacted too nega-tive to two “findings” in that agency’s audit, released last week. Most islanders love Island Transit and trust its administration, but nobody’s perfect. The state wanted better tracking of employees’ use of vehicles and the fuel they purchase. The auditor also questioned the transit board’s decision to give Rose considerable spending approval without prior board authorization. At issue was an $859,000 “change order.” No doubt it was above-board, but the fact is that no local agency head should have that much discretion when it comes to spending.

Rose complained that the audit findings suggested wrongdoing, which they don’t, and said she planned to appeal. But why bother appealing when all that is needed is to make the bookkeeping changes suggested by the auditor? That would be the most direct, efficient and affordable way to ensure the public that its tax dollars are being wisely handled.

An Island County official reacted similarly recently when the state auditor cited several apparent misappro-priations by the Freeland Water and Sewer District com-missioners, working with a county grant. The county’s defense it that it had already discovered and announced the errors. That’s fine, but there’s no need for hackles to be raised by the state auditor putting them down in writ-ing. Again, it’s just a way to make sure the public knows about the problem and that it will be fixed.

Some audit findings are incorrect, and some appeals are successful. But the Washington State Auditor’s Office generally does an outstanding job of auditing spending by local districts. They should be thanked for their findings, not subjected to a negative reaction by overly-defensive officials.

Myrtle AllgireMyrtle Allgire, long-

time Oak Harbor resident and business woman, was born Jan. 12, 1924 in Bow, Wash., to Pedar and Ellen (Martinson) Peterson. She was one of eight children raised on the family farm. Her parents were emigrants from Norway, entering the U.S. through Ellis Island and settling in Skagit County.

Myrtle graduated from Edison High School and then went to Seattle to attend business college. With the start of World War II, she went to work in the supply department at Sand Point Naval Station and then was transferred to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

In 1943, Myrtle attended a Valentine’s Day dance and met a young Navy man, John Allgire. Four months later, Myrtle and John were married, a marriage which lasted 67 years. The Navy transferred the Allgires to New York and Myrtle went to work as a bank teller on Wall Street. Myrtle lit-erally went from the farm to the big city. Their next stop was to Richmond, Va., on to Japan and then NAS Whidbey where John retired from the Navy.

John started a second career with NAS Civil Service and Myrtle began working for Norm Oldenburg at Oak Harbor Furniture Store as a bookkeeper, a job which lasted eight years. Norm was the first president of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce and Myrtle became the unofficial cham-ber secretary.

In 1963, John and Myrtle co-founded the Casual House on Pioneer Way and in 1973, they built the current loca-tion. John and Myrtle were very strong supporters of many of the activities of Oak Harbor. For the past three years, Myrtle and John were residents of Regency on Whidbey. Myrtle died Sept. 30, 2011, at the age of 87, surrounded by family.

Myrtle was a member

of the Oak Harbor First United Methodist Church and participated in the church choir, Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor, the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, P.E.O. and was a charter member of the Polly Harpole Hospital Guild for Whidbey General Hospital. She was also a member of the original Holland Happening Committee and often marched in the parade as a Street Sweeper. She loved to fill the Casual House windows with fresh tulips every year. She was an unselfish spirit, always concerned for others first.

Myrtle was an excellent cook and enjoyed entertain-ing. She loved having parties at the family beach house. She was always interested in making sure everyone was taken care of. She also had a “green thumb” and took great pride in her beautiful flowers and garden.

Myrtle leaves behind her children, Steven Allgire and wife Sandy and daughter Jill Schacht, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Her husband, John, son-in-law Bill Schacht and four brothers, Martin, Palmer, Minor and Ernie Peterson and three sisters, Tilda Anderson, Esther Boe and Marie Geiger preceded her in death.

Graveside funeral ser-vices for Myrtle will be held Thursday, Oct. 6, at Maple Leaf Cemetery at 11 a.m. Memorial services will follow at noon at the First United Methodist Church with Rev. Dave Johnson officiating and a reception for family and friends in Centennial Hall.

Friends and family are encouraged to share mem-ories and condolences at www.wallinfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, Oak Harbor.

Ruth Lorraine Shuman Carroll

Ruth Lorraine Shuman Carroll passed away Sept. 22, 2011, in Oak Harbor, sur-rounded by children, grand-children, and great-grand-children. Though she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, every-one knew that since 1937 she has considered only one “place” to be her “home.” She has now returned home, to once again be with her beloved husband Lou, who died in 2005.

Raised in the Olympia area, Ruth was a teacher not only by profession, but also by the many examples she gave of quiet patient devo-tion and generosity. She and Lou made people comfort-able in their presence with their innate kindness and willingness to share, or to dig in and help in whatever way they could. Ruth loved her crossword puzzles and reading as well as keeping informed of current events.

Retiring to the home they built on Long Point in Coupeville, she spent many hours cooking and baking and her kitchen turned Lou’s garden and seafood harvesting into wonderful meals for family and friends. But her greatest joy was tak-ing care of her husband and their close-knit nuclear and

extended families. We miss you Mom, Gran

and Ruth. You and Dad were the best examples of love, devotion, generosity and kindness in our lives. Many of the good things we have accomplished in our lives have occurred because we were trying to emulate the way we saw you live. The very best thing that we could hope for you is that you feel as comfortable and as loved as you made us feel. Now, reunited with Dad, you have that very thing which you so richly deserve. Rest well. Be happy again. Love, your family.

Ruth is survived by her three children, Donna of Juneau, Alaska, Bob of Lincoln, Calif., and Jim of Langley, Wash. Services will be held at a future date.

Being a lifelong educa-tor, Ruth is aiding three Kenyan children to com-plete their high school education through her sponsorship and asked that remembrances be made in her name to The Kenya Project for Education and Spiritual Growth, P.O. Box 2023 Lilburn GA 30048. The Kenya Project is a non profit organization aiding children near Nakuru, Kenya (www.thekenyaproject.org).

OBITUARIES

Political correctness raised its ugly head in Oak Harbor when bones were found at the Pioneer Way project.

The city council is not to blame. They are at the mercy of the State Department of Archaeology and Historical Preservation.

The only groups really interested in “old” bones are the Indian tribes. No one knows who died or when, or what tribes they belonged to.

Today, the estimated cost to the city is said to be over $500,000. When will this nonsense end? Not until taxpayers tire of pay-ing for this kind of political correctness.

Ned PotterOak Harbor

I’d like to thank a Mr. Kiser (Letters, Sept. 11) for bringing attention to the solar installation at the Greenbank Farm. Unfortunately he took a rather dim view of this endeavour, which might be caused by some errant data he presented.

For starters, he objected to the “$275K spent by the farm” for this installation. That $275K came not from the farm but out of the pockets of 25 private and local solar enthusiasts. I know, I’m one of them.

This is a public/private partnership leveraging resources from each. The farm has provided some infrastructure and an infor-mational kiosk; however, they derive revenue by leasing the land to Island Community Solar (those enthusiasts).

The farm is also making good on their goal to pro-duce the electricity they use and the land around the solar panels is used for agricultural purposes as well.

Mr. Kiser claimed it will never pay for itself, citing a return of 10 cents per kw hour. That return is actually $1.15 per kw and since its May inaugural, the solar installation has generated over $11,000.

Incentives are provided by the state, Puget Sound Energy and the federal gov-ernment. We could argue whether public incentives should be used to encour-

age the production of car-bon free alternative energy using all Washington state manufactured equipment, but the Legislature has already weighed in by demanding that all major Washington energy suppli-ers must get 15 percent of their power from alterna-tive sources by 2015 and steps are being taken to make this happen.

The good news is, it’s working and we’re all mov-ing toward carbon free energy independence with projects like this.

Numerous similar instal-lations have begun opera-tion and a second local photovoltaic panel manu-facturer has commenced operation in our state.

I don’t get it.The biggest problem

our country faces is unem-ployment, right?

So why is the president spending all his time talk-ing about raising taxes again?

Haven’t we already had this argument three or four times already? And hasn’t the president lost every time he brings it up?

If one of his supporters can explain how raising taxes can create a single job in the depths of the Obama depression, I’d love to hear it.

Otherwise, let’s quit wasting time on ideas the president knows won’t pass, and MoveOn to some idea that actually might help.

Whidbey Island Garden Tour digs up money to hand out to nonprofit groups

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

The Oak Harbor City Council recent-ly backed off from a proposal that would have narrowed the number of sites under consideration for a new waste-water treatment plant to just three pos-sibilities.

Carollo, the national engineering firm the city hired as a consultant for the project, has been working for more than a year to come up with a location. They have already successfully pruned a list of more than 20 sites to five and hoped to reduce it even further to just three.

However, following a presentation by a representative from the firm on how the finalists were selected, City Councilman Bob Severns made it clear he wasn’t yet ready to endorse any of the proposed sites.

“I’m not very excited about any of the locations,” Severns said.

The five sites being considered include: Windjammer Park, the Oak Harbor Marina, the old city shops at the northern end of City Beach Street, Beachview Farm, which is more com-monly known as Fakkema Farm and located just outside the city’s western boundary, and Navy property located behind the existing lagoon site on Crescent Harbor.

Carollo’s proposal Tuesday was to drop Beachview Farm and the marina from further consideration. According to Brian Matson, a partner with Carollo, the decision was made based on an evaluation of technical, financial, envi-ronmental and social strengths and weaknesses and on public input.

The firm also suggested the city only consider building a plant that utilized membrane bio-reactor technology rath-er than more activated sludge, the treat-ment method currently in use at the

city’s plant on the Seaplane Base. The former is more effective and takes up less space but at greater cost.

Finally, Oak Harbor Bay was pro-posed as the location of the new plant’s treated effluent outfall. West Beach and Crescent Harbor were also looked at but Carollo is recommending against them largely for cost reasons.

Severns said he was leaning toward membrane bio-reactor technology but still wasn’t convinced. He said he needed more time to make a decision. Also, councilmen Rick Almberg and Jim Campbell were both on excused absences and Severns said the entire council should be there to make the decision.

He recommended the issue be tabled until after Thanksgiving and it was unanimously approved.

GAME OF THE WEEK Oak Harbor hosts Meadowdale in a battle for first in volleyball Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m.

SPORTSWhidbey

The football gods have not been kind to Coupeville as the Wolves lost their second straight game in the final minutes.

Granite Falls picked up its first win of the year with a 35-28 victory over Coupeville as the Tigers scored the winning touchdown with just over a minute left at Mickey Clark Field Fri-day, Sept. 30.

Not all was negative for the Wolves as sophomore quarterback Jake Tumblin, making his second start, threw for a career high 153 yards by hitting 15 of 28 passes; he had no in-terceptions.

With the uptick in the passing game, coach Jay Silver said, “We showed a spark of what we can do.”

Tumblin was involved in most of the Coupeville scoring, and the first points came from the defensive side.

Tumblin snared a Granite Falls fumble and returned it 30 yards for the game’s first score. The PAT kick failed.

The Tigers came back to lead 13-6 at the half. From that point the teams traded touchdowns.

Tumblin hooked up with Mitch Pel-roy for a 62-yard score, then Pelroy ran in the conversion and the Wolves led 14-13.

Granite Falls returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards, making it 20-14.

A few minutes later, Tumblin ran in from the one, Pelroy again converted and Coupeville regained the lead 22-20.

A 43-yard run put the Tigers back in the lead.

The Wolves tied it at 28 with three minutes left when Dalton Engle

scored on a 24-yard screen pass from Tumblin. The PAT run failed.

Granite Falls drove 55 yards for the winning score, overcoming a third-and-eight during the drive.

Pelroy rushed for 50 yards on 11 carries, and Engle caught three passes for 39 yards.

Coupeville (0-4, 1-4) heads to Ce-darcrest (2-1, 3-2) Friday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m.

In spite of the “best team effort to date,” according to coach Mike Thornton, the Coupeville High School soccer team dropped a 5-0 match at Lakewood Saturday, Oct. 1.

Thornton said, “The game should have been a little closer than the score line shows... By far the best team effort to date, that includes the freshmen to the seniors.”

The Wolves (0-7, 1-7) host Cedar-crest (5-1, 7-1) Thurday, Oct. 6, at 6 p.m.

Competing at the 38th annual Mount Baker Invitational, the Oak Harbor High School girls cross coun-try team placed second and the boys third at Silver Lake Park in Maple Falls.

The state’s sixth-ranked 2A team, Burlington-Edison, won the girls var-sity race with 38 points. Oak Harbor was next in the 10-team field with 63 points.

The Wildcat boys finished behind third-ranked Squalicum (62) and Burl-ington-Edison (117) with 136 points in

the 14-team race.Coach Eric Peterson said the Oak

Harbor varsity boys results need “some perspective because two of our top five runners ran in the fresh-man race.” The Wildcats girls were also missing a varsity runner who was taking the SAT.

John Rodeheffer posted Oak Har-bor’s best individual finish by win-ning the freshman race, covering the 4,880-meter course in 16:36.85.

Matt Reith (fifth, varsity boys, 15:54.24), Christina Wicker (ninth, varsity girls, 19:14.29), Patrick Meyer (16th, JV boys, 18:21.6) and Rachel Crowther (11th, JV girls, 21:54.82) collected the best finishes for Oak Harbor runners in the other races.

Oak Harbor goes to Jackson Thursday, Oct. 6, at 3:45 p.m. for its next Wesco meet.

The Oak Harbor swim and dive team overwhelmed the two Marys-ville schools Monday, Oct. 3, at John Vanderzicht Pool.

The Wildcats defeated Marys-ville Getchell 137-44 and Marysville Pilchuck 140-39 to raise their record to 3-4. MP defeated MG 94-81.

Oak Harbor’s Karina Concepcion earned a state-qualiying time while winning the 50-meter free in 28.57.

Ciara Hu captured two individual events (200 individual medley, 2:35.19; 100 butterfly, 1:09.79), and both Con-cepcion and Hu swam on two first-place relay teams.

Irysh Concepcion also nabbed two individual firsts (200 free, 2:34.58; 100 free, 1:08.69) and two relay wins.

Nicole Vogt (400 free, 5:31.25) and Olivia Meyer (100 breast, 1:27.73) earned other individual firsts.

Oak Harbor travels to Cascade Thursday, Oct. 6, at 2:30 p.m.

SPORTS IN BRIEF

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Spurred by Josiah Miller’s school-record five touch-downs and an opportunistic defense, the Oak Harbor High School football team lev-eled Lynnwood 68-14 Friday, Sept. 30, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

The Wildcats ran their record to 5-0 and now face Mount Vernon (4-1) at home Friday at 7 p.m. in a non-league contest.

Miller, who didn’t carry the ball after the first possession of the second half, rushed 10 times for 134 yards and four touchdowns and caught two passes for 59 yards and one TD. The five scores broke the former school record of four in a game held by eight different players, most recently accomplished by Chris Valencia in 2006.

Brent Ryan rambled for 144 yards on 14 carries and scored one touchdown.

Ian Kolste completed five of eight passes for 110 yards and one score.

In all, Oak Harbor ran for 406 yards on 34 carries and had an 81-yard TD run by Isaiah Trower nullified by penalty.

Lynnwood (0-4, 0-5) moved the ball throughout the first half but had trouble reaching the end zone because of four turnovers; it added a fifth mis-cue in the second half.

Royal quarterback Blake Lord was 13 of 17 for 215 yards in the first half. The sec-ond half was a different story. Lord failed on all six attempts and threw a third intercep-tion -- this one returned 87 yards by Mike Washington

for a TD.On the game’s third play,

Peter Franssen intercepted Lord and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown and then kicked his first of eight PATs to start the scoring.

Miller scored on runs of 11, 3, 29 and 48 yards and on a 14-yard reception from Kolste.

Oak Harbor’s Sheyanne Sams tacked on a 46-yard scoring run and Julian Faralan added a 54-yard score. Frank Grecco kicked a PAT.

Lynnwood’s Jesimon Smith returned a kickoff 80 yards for a Royal fourth-quar-ter touchdown.

Nick Farrell recorded 11 tackles for the Wildcat defense, and Miller added seven along with an intercep-tion and a fumble recovery. Jeremy Foster had six tack-les, one a sack. Fred Webster and Cody Hernkind com-bined for a sack.

Though this week’s game is nonleague, it won’t be a

break for the Wildcats. Mount Vernon has a 4-0 record in the rugged Northwest Conference; it lost a non-league game to 4A Mariner.

The Bulldogs feature a dynamic offense behind quarterback Bennett Gibson and running back Marchael Acode.

Gibson has completed 81 of 124 passes for 1,109 yards and eight touchdowns.

Acode has rushed for 726 yards on 90 carries for an 8.15 average and 13 touch-downs.

He is joined in the back-field by Micah Scott who has 331 yards on 31 carries and a 10.7 average.

Oak Harbor coach Jay Turner said the physical Bulldogs are a “playoff type team and it will give us an idea on where we stand” against a strong opponent.

The top 20 were flown to Minneapolis for a casting call which included inter-views, hair and makeup ses-sions and test photo shoots. Maurices then selected the 12 winners.

In addition to the photo shoot and $7,500 to desig-nate to a local nonprofit, each model also received $1,500 in Maurices clothing and a Flip video camera.

Bev McQuary turns up the heat to blow glass beads. She is one ov many artists participating in the Whidbey Open Studio Tour Oct. 8 and 9.

By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

Bev McQuary gets to play with fire every day. And when she turns on her torch, her creativity comes to life in vibrant whorls of color, unique bubbles and elegant feather-ing in her lampworked glass beads.

McQuary and 60 other Whidbey Island artists will open more than 30 studios to the public Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the 15th annual Whidbey Open Studio Tour, a free event presented by the Whidbey Island Arts Council.

To make it possible for the public to visit more artists, two or more artists will show in each studio.

Artists from Oak Harbor to Clinton will demonstrate their tal-ents and sell their work. From hand-made books and photography to paintings and textiles, the artists will cover all visual arts.

“It’s going to be a really good show. Everyone’s focusing on new works,” said Sue Symons, secretary for WIAC.

McQuary will demonstrate bead making and sell her jewelry.

It’s a very meditative process that also involves beating the glass into submission, McQuary said with a

laugh.When McQuary works, she said

the hours drift away. Long sticks of candy-colored glass sit in jars on McQuary’s workspace and her lovingly worked garden is visible through the windows of her garden shed-turned-studio.

Eager to express the creativity brimming in her mind, McQuary turns on her torch and selects a rod of glass. After heating the glass, she shapes it around a long, thin rod, called a mandrel, to form the bead’s general shape.

Then the fun begins. Creativity reigns as McQuary heats the bead until it burns bright orange-red. She makes dots of colorful glass to add three-dimensional elements to the bead, rakes glass along the bead to form a feathered design and melts silver wire onto the bead to form silver dots.

The chemistry of the glass inter-acting is “truly an amazing, mystify-ing process,” McQuary said. All the bright colors intrigue her and the time just goes away as she creates intricately patterned beads.

“It’s magic, I tell you!” McQuary said, laughing.

Beads are annealed in a kiln over-night to reduce stress. In the morn-

ing, “It’s like Christmas” as McQuary looks at what she created.

Then McQuary moves to her next talents: wire-working and design-ing jewelry. McQuary converted a spare bedroom into a studio rich with everything beads, from the shelves of beading books and magazines to the containers of beads and wire.

When she works, she cranks up the Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart or the blues, her fingers moving skill-fully over aqua beads with wave designs, wires shaped into spirals and clear beads with centers that look like slices of the ocean to find the bead that inspires her.

In the recent Penn Cove Gallery burglary, McQuary lost everything but one pair of earrings the burglars dropped on the way out. She feels for the artists who lost time-consuming projects like carvings.

“I’ve been scrambling to get inven-tory back in,” she said. Her hard work paid off because she’s crafted many intricate earrings and brace-lets, plus loose beads so people can create their own jewelry.

McQuary will share Ann Wilson’s studio for the tour. Wilson, a paint-er, purchased a new studio so will be located at 603 NE Perkins St., Coupeville, a few blocks away from

last year’s location.McQuary has been creating

lampworked beads for more than 20 years. She was offered classes while working as registrar at Pratt Fine Arts in Seattle. Since then, she’s taken many workshops to learn wire-working and more.

McQuary said she is enjoying her preparations for the Open Studio Tour.

“It’s really important that artists do volunteer,” she said. Not only does volunteering open the world of art to the public, but it gives art-ists a chance to market themselves. McQuary has volunteered for the past six to 10 tours.

McQuary does custom jewelry orders, especially as the holidays approach. She will teach one-on-one classes, eager to share her world of color.

“It keeps me busy,” McQuary said, her eyes bright as she put her creativ-ity to work.

For information and an interactive map visit www.islandartscouncil.org. Guides will be included in Saturday’s editions of the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record or at local chambers of commerce.
