WHIDBEYREADERS CHOICE AWARDS

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

The big empty lot at the intersection of State Highway 20 and Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor may be the future home of a new Rite Aid Pharmacy and a yet unidentified fast-food restaurant.

White-Leasure Development of Boise recently made a pre-application to the City of Oak Harbor for a two-building commercial

development on the empty 2.36-acre lot that once held Berg Ford.

The pre-application calls for a 17,000-square-foot drug store, which is iden-tified on a schematic as Rite Aid.

In addition, the developer proposes to build a 4,500-square-foot “quick serve” res-taurant next to the pharmacy; the restaurant is nameless in the documents.

The property is owned by Daniel and

Sharon Berg of Oak Harbor.A pre-application is only a preliminary

step in the construction of a proposed devel-opment and doesn’t necessarily mean the project will came to fruition, Oak Harbor Development Services Director Steve Powers said.

Deluge rains drama on Whidbey PlayhouseBy RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

No theatrics were necessary to produce a dra-matic scene at the Whidbey Playhouse Tuesday.

Just when business manager Janis Powell had thought she’d seen everything at the playhouse,

A couple takes in the view at Admiralty Inlet near the Keystone spit and the Coupeville ferry landing Wednesday night and gets a surprise. Not only did they spot a ferry arriving from Port Townsend, they also caught a glimpse of a Navy submarine passing through. The forecast is calling for continued sunshine and warm temperatures in Coupeville and Oak Harbor this weekend.

As the county struggles to find a balance between protecting the environment and farmers’ rights to main-tain their land, neither camp appears happy with the latest regulatory update.

The Island County com-missioners are positioned to approve the state-mandated Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas update at their regular meeting Monday but may continue the public hearing based in response to input.

Farmers say the controver-sial document won’t provide exemptions for farmers who want to be able to maintain irrigation ditches that are also categorized as regulated streams. Environmentalists say that the county has not done enough to protect the county’s resources.

“They had the opportunity to do it right and they didn’t,” said Marianne Edain of the Whidbey Environmental Action Network. “Then the farmers came yayhooing out of the wood work and they made it more wrong.”

Regulated streams, under the ordinance, would be subject to more strict gov-ernmental oversight due to proximity of crucial wetlands or fish habitat.

Farmers mainly from the Maxwelton Creek area in South Whidbey told com-missioners during the public hearing that the additional inspections and permitting would be expensive for farm-ers.

Maxwelton Valley farmer Ray Gabelein said that the latest update will still be finan-cially punitive to agricultural businesses that run on a tight budget.

“I think they are going

overboard,” Gabelein said. “They will be causing harm to our remaining agriculture and I think that’s a mistake.”

In an attempt to put farm-ers’ fears to rest, the com-missioners directed staff to carefully define a “regulated stream” and outline the com-pliance process.

Gabelein said he doesn’t believe this new definition will help farmers who have drain-age ditches that still fall under the “regulated” category.

Commissioners did pro-vide for a multi-year permit that would be valid for farm-ers up to five years. They also exempted the need for a mitigation plan if a biological assessment is not necessary.

Planning Directer David Wechner said Friday that both farmers and environ-mentalists have been at the table over the long process that has included 28 public meetings. Due to the compet-ing priorities, not everyone is going to be happy, he said.

“That’s part of the collabor-ative process,” Wechner said. “Not everyone gets what they want.”

After Wednesday’s work session when the clarifications were discussed, Whidbey Island Conservation District Director Karen Bishop said she is cautiously optimistic that the county would find a set of regulations that farm-ers can live with but still conserves critical areas and habitats.

Bishop said she was wait-ing to see what the farmers had to say in Monday’s public hearing.

“The Conservation District wants to ensure that the new Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas update allows for continued mainte-nance of agricultural drain-age without burdening farm-

ers with new, expensive and time-consuming regulation,” Bishop said.

Bishop said that some of the island’s best farmland is in these low-lying, stream-rich areas and that the Growth Management Act, which requires the fish and wildlife regulations, also prioritizes protection of farmland.

“I think this ordinance is getting closer to supporting both,” Bishop said. “Farmers are some of our best envi-ronmental land stewards and we don’t want to lose them and their farmland in this pro-cess.”

The latest draft also pro-vides an exemption for farm-ers who need to disturb streams when managing the dams and flooding caused by the island’s beaver popula-tion.

Environmentalists with WEAN said they have seen the latest revision to the fish and wildlife regulations on regulated streams and are “pretty unimpressed.”

“It’s not at all clear to me that Maxwelton streams are protected,” said Steve Erickson of WEAN. “It’s very ambiguous now. The reality is the county has a duty here to all the people, not just this small group of farmers.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she would like to see a ditch maintenance manual created for farmers to make it easy for them to remain compliant.

Commissioner Jill Johnson said she believes the new regulations allow farmers to easily and affordably main-tain their drainage systems while also meeting the state -required protection stan-dards.

“I feel positive about where we landed on this,” Johnson said Friday.

Oak Harbor students returned to classrooms Thursday ready for another school year.

Throughout the school district, community leaders visited each school to greet students as they gathered for their first day.

Superintendent Lance Gibbon was among those greeting students. He said that the first day of school is one of his favorites of the year.

“It’s all just about trying to connect with the school and make some new friends and find their classes,” Gibbon said.

Monica Lopez, PTA sec-retary for Oak Harbor Elementary, said her daugh-

ter Lauryn is going into third grade and is excited about all the extracurricular activities available.

“They always enjoy the stuff like movie night,” Lopez said.

For Lopez and her daugh-ter, the last few days before school started were spent not doing much.

“We’ve been so busy dur-ing the summer,” she said. “We’re hanging out. We’re just going to kind of relax.”

Lopez said her daughter was a little nervous about entering the third grade. However, the atmosphere at Oak Harbor Elementary was one of excitement and laugh-ter on the first day.

Though the official count of how many students are in the district won’t be com-

pleted until Monday, Sept. 8, Gibbon said the district has a preliminary count of approxi-mately 5,515 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, about 50 more than they had last year.

The 2013-14 school year ended with 5,465 students enrolled in the district.

To make room for the increased number of stu-dents, three portable build-ings were installed at three different elementary schools over the summer for a total number of six new class-rooms.

While the 2014 Pigfest in August was considered a big success, the impact will continue to be felt through September.

Of the more than $12,000 that was raised from the Oak Harbor event, $6,000 was donated to the North Whidbey Help House.

Jean Wieman, execu-tive director of the Help House, couldn’t overstate Wednesday how important such a donation meant to her organization at this time of year.

“People forget that people are hungry 365 days a year, not just during the holidays, and people are busy during the summer,” Wieman said. “This is really an optimum time for us to get a donation of this size.

“We’re seeing, on aver-age, 574 families is what we’re feeding. The money we get today hopefully will pay most, if not maybe all, of the costs of food we have to purchase for the month.”

Pigfest was started seven years ago by Oak Harbor restaurant owner Scott Fraser as a gesture of grati-tude and a way to give back to the community.

This year, the event changed its name and loca-tion and drew about 8,000 people to Pioneer Way, dou-bling the previous year’s attendance, and served a free pork meal to about 6,000 people.

While most of the event’s major costs were covered by sponsors led by Island Thrift, the ability to give money back to community organizations was aided by individual donations at the Pigfest as well as wine, beer and wristband sales.

The Pigfest also donated $3,000 apiece to two other nonprofits — Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey and Citizens Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, or CADA.

Medical Safety Net raises funds to help pay for pre-scriptions, medical supplies, co-pays and emergency dental services for those in North Whidbey who can-not afford those needs, said Diane Brown, the organiza-tion’s treasurer.

“This check means we’re able to provide those servic-es for these people,” Brown said.

Cynde Robinson, execu-tive director of CADA, said a cash donation such as the one provided by Pigfest allows her organization to provide more immediate help to those who need it, whether it be for groceries, transportation or clothing.

CADA is based in Oak Harbor but serves all of Island County.

“We do get funds from the government but it often has a lot of restrictions on it,” Robinson said. “We often have needs for people com-ing in with emergencies that unless we have these kinds of funds that are open, we wouldn’t be able to help them with groceries or transportation or some-times just clothes.

“Often, we get victims who come to us and they just had to flee and they don’t have except what’s on their backs.”

For people who might wonder what life with dementia is like, HomePlace has found a way to show them.

One way they ensure their caregivers empathize with their patients as much as possible is to promote a deep understanding of the diseases.

On Sept. 10, HomePlace will be holding a Virtual Dementia Tour for staff, family members of their residents and some medical pro-fessionals.

This tour is designed to let peo-ple experience what it’s like to have dementia for a brief period of time.

“It gives families, caregiv-ers, health professionals, the opportunity to just have a small glimpse into the life of a person with dementia and the frustration they deal with every day as their disease progresses,” said Karen Cowgill, marketing director of HomePlace.

This Virtual Dementia Tour has been going on across the coun-try for years now, according to Cowgill. HomePlace is partnering with Right At Home, which offers at-home care for seniors, to bring the program to Oak Harbor.

Though the tour on Sept. 10 is selective on who can participate, HomePlace plans on another tour open to the public Sept. 23.

Cowgill said that it takes about 15 or 20 minutes to complete. She said the tour involves hindering the five senses and giving a partici-pant a few tasks to do with those limitations, in a limited amount of time.

Mary Gould, executive director of HomePlace, went through this

tour a few years ago in Canada. She said when she participated, they put Vaseline over her glasses, except for a small hole to see through; put barley in her shoes, making walking difficult and pain-ful; and they tied a hand behind her back.

Her task was to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

“This class, I think, teaches you what it really feels like,” Gould said.

Cowgill said that participants will find it difficult to complete their assigned tasks and might not be able to complete them at all.

“It gives you a better under-standing of their frustration and

their anger and the overwhelming sense of helplessness they feel,” Cowgill said. “It can change how you’re approaching them.”

The idea behind giving peo-ple this experience is that the increased understanding will help caregivers have more patience with the people in their care.

Gould said that many patients

don’t realize they have these limi-tations and try to do tasks beyond their abilities.

Jennifer Moody, who works at HomePlace, said that the class “kind of gives you that confused feeling … and to see how hard it is to follow easy step-by-step things.”

“It just gives you a real eye-opening experience,” Cowgill said.

A former Oak Harbor res-ident turns 100 today.

Maxine (Wade) Hansen was born in Oak Harbor on Sept. 9, 1914, and lived near-ly her entire life on Whibdey Island.

Born to parents Earl and Hanna Wade, Hansen grew up in a house on Pioneer Way and 60th, now known as Southeast Ely Street. In the same house, she mar-ried George Hansen in 1940 and raised their family, son Chet and daughter Chris.

Maxine graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1932 and from what would later become Western Washington University in 1936. After that, she became a teacher.

Her first year of teaching was at a one-room school named Olympic Marsh, near Bayview, Wash., before transferring to Sedro-Woolley to teach primary grades until 1941.

She married George dur-ing winter break of the 1940-41 school year. When she returned to her job, she was

promptly let go, because in 1941, married women were not allowed to teach.

“World War II changed many things,” Chris Hansen said, “one was to allow mar-ried women to teach as emergency substitutes.”

Eventually, Hansen became the first kindergar-ten teacher on Whidbey Island, teaching students in Coupeville. In 1946, she started teaching second and third grades and taught at a few different schools in the Oak Harbor area.

Eventually, she retired in 1976 after 32 years of teach-ing.

But Hansen wasn’t one to idle in her retirement. Chris Hansen said she waterskied until she was 74 years old, snow skied until 1972 and enjoyed hiking until 2007. She even taught others how to waterski and “was known to be the best in backing up boats on trailers into Oak Harbor and City Beach,” Chris said.

When her daughter Chris moved to Palm Springs, Calif., in 2009, Hansen enjoyed visiting there and is

now “permanently visiting,” according to Chris.

Even now, at 100 years of age, Maxine Hansen enjoys hearing from former students and friends. Chris

Hansen invites anyone wish-ing to send cards and notes by mail to Maxine (Wade) Hansen, c/o Chris Hansen, 435 N. Calle Rolph, Palm Springs, CA 92262.

Asking for flights over island to stopEditor,

I am a retired United Methodist minister. I am 93 years of age, born Nov. 14, 1920, in Boone, Iowa, to Elmer John Berg and Irene Mc Fee Berg.

I have lived in Coupeville, Wash., for 20 years, with my wives, Ruth Mae Sanborn, Meiko Hayes and, since 2007, Phylis Stelling Hollamon.

I never served in the Armed Forces of the USA, although I applied twice for the chaplaincy between 1941-45.

My father, the late Elmer J. Berg of Boone, served in France dur-ing World War I as a member of the American Expeditionary Force. After the Armistice, he served in the Army of the Occupation, patrolling the Rhine at Andernach, Germany, until being shipped back to New York, and thence back to Boone.

My father was not the only mem-ber of our family who has served. My son, Lowell Sanborn Berg, served on the nuclear submarine Sand Lance in the U.S. Navy from 1967 to 1973.

Before being inducted into the Army, my father had married my mother, Irene Mc Fee, in Boone. Immediately afterward, he was sent to Camp Hood in Waco, Texas, where he received basic training and was inducted into the United States Army as a buck private.

My reason for writing is not to try to tell you what to do, but to report what my friends are saying to me. They are saying that the sound of the practicing planes at night is making them deaf. They are reminding me that they have served in the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Merchant Marine and Coast Guard.

I am not asking you to stop them from flying over Coupeville alone but over Whidbey Island also.

I am fully aware that this would be a difficult decision for you, but I don’t think it will be one you will regret. I am sure that you have had

a brilliant career and will continue to serve our country.

Corporate taxes

Simplify the code, put cash in pocketsEditor,

I do not want this coming to a let-ter war; however, I feel the need to respond to Mr. Thomas Kosloske’s narrow-viewed letter from Sept. 3.

Mr. Kosloske’s reference to foot-ball is poignant given the recent start of the regular season. While I applaud him for the attempt, he himself, however, was a few inches short of a first down in his compari-sons.

He failed to read the last para-graph where I outlined that Burger King needs to stay and how we should do that through an honest look at our over-inflated tax code that is driving companies to look at ways of saving money.

Burger King employs around 2,400 workers in the U.S., and that’s not counting the fact that many of the restaurants are privately owned franchises.

In effect, Mr. Kosloske’s and Robert Schoening’s letters to the editor call for a worse outcome for Burger King than just moving its headquarters. At least, if it moves, Burger King would continue to pay taxes on money earned within the U.S. Also, the employees would con-tinue to pay taxes.

Mr. Kosloske would see all of that end for what … principle?

As of 2014, the U.S. has the single highest corporate tax rate in the world after Japan lowered its tax rate, effective last year, because it saw the writing on the wall, which apparently we have yet to do. This is a corporate tax rate that is a full 10 points higher than the average of the 33 other industrialized nations in the world.

So, I ask again, what should we do about it?

I am attempting to use Burger King as an example of a spotlight on a failed system. This has nothing to

do with patriotism, as some people would have you believe. This is an opportunity to affect real change in a tax code that has become too inflated by a litany of politicians, Republican and Democrat, looking to create loopholes for their biggest donors.

If we were to go to a simpler tax code, we could lower rates across the board, save money for every American, encourage companies like Burger King to stay, create jobs and, thus, more taxpayers who would put more money in the hands of both the government and every American.

That is called competition on a global economic scale, and that, Mr. Kosloske, is how a free market economy works.

Pigfest

Support for event is greatly appreciatedEditor,

Saying “thank you” doesn’t seem enough after seeing the outpour of generosity from our community in helping the Pigfest be the success it

was Aug. 10. The committee would like to

thank our major sponsors, Island Thrift, People’s Bank and Oak Harbor Motors. Your support and belief in the success of Oak Harbor’s first sanctioned barbecue contest is greatly appreciated.

It made us want to work harder and allowed us to show our com-munity and the visitors from out of town that not only is Oak Harbor a destination place, but it’s a town that works together as a whole.

We want to give a shoutout to the City of Oak Harbor for being patient to our need for street closures and allowing us to utilize the space needed for the barbecue judges. It made our job easier and showed PNWBA, which had never been to Oak Harbor or experienced the accommodations that isn’t given at other competitions, what a wonder-ful community we have.

How lucky we were to have such great weather. Saar’s Market Place donated more than 60 bags of ice and 3,000 water bottles to help on that hot sunny day. Food Services of America lent a refrigerated truck.

We were able to bring in a new game feature that included balls and water for the kids with Sea-Tac Shuttle’s sponsorship. Whidbey

Tech Solutions helped in sponsor-ing a covered area so we could eat without the sun beating down on us.

Without the BBQ Joint, Seabolt’s and Sho Nuff BBQ, which cooked hundreds of pounds of pork, we wouldn’t have enjoyed the delicious lunch of barbecue pork served by the Soroptimists, who volunteer every year for this fundraising event.

Our other sponsors included Winderemere Real Estate, Whidbey Island Bank, Jet City, Stewart Title, Walmart, Frontier, Whidbey News-Times, Guild Mortgage, Boeing, Les Schwab, New Leaf, P&L Construction and Ace Hardware.

This event was successful because of your help and donations. We could not have done this without you.

We can’t forget the volunteers who worked before and after the event because they believe in the importance of helping and giving back to the community.

Of course, we must also thank the community. Your donations exceeded our expectations.

We look forward to working with you all over again at the next Pigfest, set for Aug. 9, 2015.

Mary Margaret

Freeley SuhyMary Margaret Freeley

Suhy was born Aug. 22, 1922, in England of Irish parents Annie Cashan and Mark Austin Freeley. She died at Careage of Whidbey on Aug. 26, 2014, at the age of 92.

She is survived by her son, Col. John M. Suhy, USMC (Ret.) of Alexandria, Va., and his wife, Patricia. She also leaves behind her grandson, John Mark Suhy Jr., his wife, Dorothee, and three great-grandchildren, Nathan, Benjamin and Emilie Suhy; her grand-daughter, Erin Margaret Suhy, and her husband, Dan Wilke. Mary’s brother, Austin Freely, and sister, Josephine McAtarian, and their families are also left behind. Her husband, John, preceded her in death in 1987.

Mary spent the first 10 years of her life on a farm in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, Ireland, living with her beloved grandparents, Mary and Thomas Freeley. She then moved to live with her parents in New Jersey before moving to Detroit and working in the defense industry as World War II began.

She worked for the Ford Motor Company in the Accounting Department of Ford’s Tractor and Implement Division for 36 years before retirement.

Mary valued education. She completed an associate degree in liberal arts and also obtained her real estate license in Detroit.

She continued to learn by taking classes in fly-fishing, golf, computer science and the French language. She was also an avid reader; she collected books and read at least two newspapers a day to keep up with world events. She followed poli-

Suhy

tics fervently — she was a staunch Democrat, a strong Union advocate and a sup-porter of the common work-ing man all of her life.

Mary’s favorite pastime was gardening; year after year, she spent many hours working and beautifying her yard. She also loved to cook and bake. She left her “joy of cooking” legacy behind with her family.

She moved to Oak Harbor from Detroit in 1988. She was a member of Saint Augustine Catholic Church in Oak Harbor. She volun-teered at the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. She also belonged to Friends of the Library. She studied French with a group of close friends. She enjoyed going on the Senior Center trips. She was known for her week-ly treks to the local farmers’ markets and as a major sup-porter of all local Christmas bazaars. Mary adopted stray animals and had a friend in her dog, Missy, and her cat, Beauregard. We would also hear stories of her Irish animals, which included her dog, Major, her donkey and cows.

There will be a rosary at 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 8, at Saint Augustine Church in Oak Harbor. This will be followed by a 10:30 a.m. Funeral Mass with Rev. Paul R. Pluth, J.C.L. officiat-ing. There will be a recep-tion at the parish hall after Mass.

In lieu of flowers, dona-tions may be made in Mary Suhy’s memory, to either the Wounded Warrior Project (P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675) or the Capuchin Soup Kitchen (1820 Mt. Elliott, Detroit, MI 48207).

She will be remembered lovingly as a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grand-mother, sister and aunt — an unforgettable individual who loved her family very much, indeed!

But most importantly to her, she was extremely proud of her Irish heritage and will be remembered as a true daughter of Ireland.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home, Oak Harbor. To share memories or condo-lences, please visit Mary’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com

SPORTS

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Everybody is in first place on the first day of the season.

With that optimistic vision, let’s take a look at the Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school fall athletic teams and their expectations for this season.

OH SoccerWildcats will lean on seniors

A large senior class and a group of talented newcomers should help the Oak Harbor High School girls soccer team move up the Western Conference standings this fall.

Back are 12 letter win-ners, including nine seniors: Alyssa Eden (midfield), Nalani Gabbert (defender), Jacalyn Hefflefinger (for-ward), Hayley Lundstrom (midfield), Rebecca Pabona (defender), Makenzie Perry (goalkeeper), Lauryn Plush (midfield), Vivien Valles (mid-field) and Paige Waterman (defender).

Also returning are junior Alyssa Cross (defender) and sophomores Jennifer Turnek (midfield) and Lydia Peplinski (forward).

Turnek was a first-team, all-Wesco choice last season, while Pabona earned second-team honors and Cross and Gabbert were honorable mention.

Among the top newcom-ers are juniors Suzanne Kaltenbach (defender) and Ayla Muller (goalie), sopho-more Mary Johnston (for-ward) and freshman Kailey Etherington (defender/mid-field), according to coach Mike Lonborg.

“We are faster this year and we return quite a few defenders and our goalie situ-ation should be solid, but we have to figure out ways to score,” Lonborg said. “Last year we cut our goals against down compared to the pre-vious year by a substantial margin (from 71 to 39), but

we had problems scoring.”The Wildcats scored eight

times in 2013, and four of those came in one match.

Lonborg said the expecta-tions for the year are “pretty basic.”

“We would like to get back to the playoffs,” Lonborg said. “It’s been around 10 years, I think, and we would like to change that this year.

“Our team speed has increased, and we have some good individual players on the team. We just need to figure out how to mesh all the different styles and how to use our individual talents to the best use team wise.”

Oak Harbor begins the season at home against Lakewood at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9.

CV SoccerCoach likes look of team

“What’s not to like?” The reasons for Coupeville

High School girls soccer

coach Troy Cowan’s opti-mistic comment about the upcoming season are plenty.

First, he noted, the move to the Olympic League will allow his team to play against schools more its size.

Second, the Wolves lost only two players to gradu-ation.

Next, Coupeville returns seven seniors, and most are multi-year letter winners.

And, finally, Cowan wel-comes an “extremely tal-ented and gifted freshman class.”

The team’s strengths, Cowan said, are its “experi-ence, leadership,” “a junior with dynamite in her right foot” and “three freshmen with several years of select soccer.”

The senior leadership comes from letter winners Marisa Etzell, Jacquelyn Ginnings, Mickayla LeVine, Ana Luvera, Ivy Luvera, Julia Myers and Erin Rosenkranz.

The explosive junior is Jennifer Spark, and the three freshmen are Mia Littlejohn, Sage Renninger

and McKenzie Meyer.Another key newcomer,

according to Cowan, is senior Christine Fields, a three-time state qualifier in golf.

Depth could be a problem, Cowan said, as well as the unknown element of the new conference.

The goals for 2014, accord-ing to Cowan, are to “make an immediate and profound impact in the new league (to) send a message of arrival, play hard and give 100 per-cent, never quit, no concus-sions or major injuries, show good sportsmanship and conduct ourselves as ambas-sadors from Coupeville High School.”

Cowan said he is “excit-ed” about the move to the Olympic League and playing against “similar-sized schools and being evaluated from these performances.”

“I attended a recent confer-ence with the other school soccer coaches and I was very impressed,” he added. “A tremendous collection of highly respected and experi-enced coaches.”

The biggest challenge from the Olympic League should come from Klahowya, a state qualifier the last five years, and “ourselves ----- we can’t control our competition, but we can control how we play.”

The season begins with a nonleague game against island foe South Whidbey at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, at Mickey Clark Field.

OH VolleyballWildcats aim to repeat finish

The Oak Harbor High School volleyball team hopes this year starts like last year ended.

The Wildcats won only two of their first 12 matches in 2013, then things changed ----they started to win. Although they finished fifth in the Western Conference and entered the district tourna-ment as the seventh seed, they stunned the field by placing second and earning a

trip to the state tournament.At state, the late-season

run continued and Oak Harbor placed sixth, its best finish since taking fifth in 1988.

Gone through gradua-tion is 6’3” scoring machine Kayleigh Harper, but the Wildcats return four starters and nine letter winners.

The veterans include seniors Hailey Beecher (set-ter), Amelia Berner (middle), Kaylee Lamb (right side), Aubrey Lock (outside hit-ter/defensive specialist) and Natalie McVey (setter); and juniors Claire Anderson (outside hitter), Geslynne Barreta (outside hitter), Priya Osborne (defensive special-ist) and AnnaBelle Whitefoot (outside hitter).

Anderson earned all-league honorable mention honors in 2013.

Key newcomers are senior Daranee Soranthum (defen-sive specialist), junior Janae Payne (setter), sophomore Juliann Jansen (middle) and

freshman Hailee Blau (right side), according to coach Kerri Molitor.

Without Harper, the Wildcats will be a different team this year but “very com-petitive,” Molitor said. “(We) are hungry for competition.

“We have a large number on the squad, and we are very flexible. We are deep … and the girls will be chal-lenging each other daily. These can be strengths or weaknesses, depending on how the team reacts to the roles they are asked to play throughout the season. Our leadership is strong and our expectations are high.”

Unlike some Wesco sports, the 3A volleyball teams play in one 13-team league and not two divisions. Molitor called the league “tough” and said her team is looking forward to the competition.

Molitor cited “ourselves” as Oak Harbor’s greatest challenger for the league title. She hopes the lack of confidence and chemistry that plagued the team early last year can be overcome quickly this fall.

“They are working very hard to repeat the success we had at postseason,” Molitor said. “They believe in them-selves and know that it takes

the whole team to make it happen. I’m proud of the girls and look forward to seeing what is ahead of us.”

Oak Harbor hosts a six-team jamboree at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 6. The regu-lar season begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, when the Wildcats travel to Ferndale for a rematch of the two teams that played for the dis-trict title last year.

Oak Harbor entertains Marysville-Pilchuck at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, in the opening league contest.

CV VolleyballHitters return for Coupeville

Although the Coupeville High School volleyball team lost six regulars to gradua-tion, it returns much of its firepower from last season.

Back is junior setter Sydney Autio to steer the ball to hard-hitting seniors Hailey Hammer (middle blocker), Kacie Kiel (outside hitter) and Madeline Strasburg (out-side hitter).

Hammer earned all-Cas-cade Conference honorable mention in 2013.

The quartet will be joined by key newcomers seniors McKayla Bailey (defensive specialist), Monica Vidoni (opposite) and Tiffany Briscoe (defensive special-ist); junior McKenzie Bailey; and sophomore Valen Trujillo (libero/defensive specialist), according to first-year coach Breanne Smedley.

“We have a lot of potential to be competitive this year,” Smedley said. “Once the girls start stepping into their roles and playing as a team, then we can live up to that poten-tial to have a solid season.”

Smedley is pleased with her team’s work ethic and “desire to learn and improve.”

Smedley is the team’s third head coach in three years, and with that comes “some growing pains associated with learning new systems and information.” However, the squad is “doing a great job of working through those.”

The coach’s goal is daily improvement.

“I always ask my players at the end of practice, ‘Are you a better volleyball player and teammate now than when you started practice?’ If they can honestly answer ‘yes’ to that question, then we will be successful this season.”

That desire, she hopes, will lead to a league title, but it will only happen if “we are

working to improve one day at a time.”

Regardless of the number of wins, the season will be a success if “we can be selfless teammates and play together as a team,” Smedley said.

Since Coupeville is enter-ing a new league, it has little information about its oppo-nents. Therefore, the Wolves need to “treat each game as if we are competing against our toughest opponent,” accord-ing to Smedley.

“We cannot afford to rank one team over the next at risk of not playing to our full-est potential in every match,” she added.

The Wolves will take part in the Oak Harbor Jamboree at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, and then head to South Whidbey for a nonleague match at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9. The first home match is 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, with Friday Harbor.

OH Tennis3-year veterans guide Wildcats

Two three-year lettermen will give the Oak Harbor High School boys tennis team a veteran presence and help the Wildcats fill-out their singles lineup this fall.

Seniors Carter Saar and Tom Dale, regulars through-out their high school careers,

will man the second and third singles positions, according to head coach Horace Mells.

Sophomore Jackson Wezeman, who played var-sity singles last season as a freshman, will handle the No. 1 slot, and senior letterman Kyle Martin is set for fourth singles.

Five other lettermen --– juniors Raymond Paraiso, Calib Byers, Jared Hunt, Jared Alano-Gray and Max Van Dam –-- also return and should help fill out the dou-bles spots.

Mells said key newcomers sophomore Adam Nelson and juniors Alexander Smith, Matthew Hallahan and Nathan Magdalera are in line to battle for doubles positions.

Mells said the talent on his team and in the league is “pretty balanced.”

“There is not a big dif-ference in the ability level between players,” he said in regard to his club.

“Based on last season, all of the schools in our league, with the exception of Stanwood, are pretty evenly matched.”

The goal for the year, Mells said, is to win a major-ity of the matches and finish among the top three in the division.

That will happen, he said, if “we are able to peak and maintain our performance

for the majority of the sea-son.”

The matches begin when Mount Vernon visits for a nonleague game at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11.

CV TennisWolves face unknown foes

For Coupeville High School tennis coach Ken Stange, the outlook for his club this fall is a mystery.

He knows the talent of his own team, but doesn’t “quite know what to expect” from his opponents.

Like the other Coupeville teams, Stange’s squad is heading into the Olympic League for the first time. Unlike the other Coupeville teams, the tennis team will face a combined squad from Port Townsend and Chimacum, negating the advantage of playing them ---- schools about their own size ---- separately.

Also on the schedule, along with Olympic League opponent Klahowya, are nonleague matches with always tough South Whidbey and three 2A schools, North Mason, Sequim and Archbishop Murphy.

The new league also brings a new format, three singles

COUPEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL WOLVES

and four doubles matches each contest. In the past, the Wolves played two singles and three doubles matches.

“That creates more oppor-tunities,” Stange said, “but it also means that more players will have to step up.”

With 23 players this year, Stange will not have trouble filling the extra slots.

The three singles spots will be manned by a trio of talented players.

Senior Aaron Curtin, who qualified for state in doubles

last year with then-senior Ben Etzell, will handle No. 1 singles, Stange said.

Junior Sebastian Davis, who placed second in singles at district in 2013, and senior Kyle Bodamer, a regular from last year’s team, will round out the singles roster.

Also back from last year are two juniors who played var-sity part time: Loren Nelson and Connor McCormick.

Key newcomers, Stange said, are sophomores Joseph Wedekind and John

McClarin, who played JV last year.

“They played all winter, rain or shine, and will likely be major contributors this season,” Stange said.

Others who should see varsity time are junior Jared Helmstadter, sophomore Grey Rische and freshmen Joey Lippo and William Nelson.

Stange’s goals for the year are for his players to grow, enjoy the experience and give maximum effort.

The Wolves head to Everett to play former league foe Archbishop Murphy at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10.

The first home and con-ference match is at 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, with Klahowya.

OH CheerWildcats build on tradition

The Oak Harbor High School cheer program is considered one of the best in Washington, and first-year coach Kimberly Cherry will attempt to continue that suc-cess.

The new coach, however, will have to reach that goal with basically a new team.

Only two letter winners, seniors Juliet Aspery and Hailey Williamson, return from last year.

Key newcomers, accord-ing to Cherry, are Arcadia Callahan and Mikhala Gittens, and the pair should help add depth to the inexpe-rienced team.

Cherry, who cheered for Oak Harbor during her school days, said her team is young but has a strong bond: “We are a family and we all get along very well.”

Cherry’s expectations for her team are to “promote

community and school spirit and to continue to volunteer in the community.”

The season will be suc-cessful, Cherry said, if the Wildcats “grow as a squad” and “reach the standard that we set at the beginning of the season to set the bar high and go over it.”

CV CheerChemistry lifts Coupeville

The Coupeville High School cheer team is a fam-ily affair, both literally and

SEE FAL PREP PREVIEW, A12



figuratively.The squad includes three

sets of sisters, but regardless of ancestry, the squad has a tight bond, according to coach Cheridan Eck.

“I feel that we are a strong group of ladies who look out for one another like a fam-ily of sisters,” Eck said. “I constantly express to them about their inner strengths and capabilities, that when they believe in themselves they can do anything.”

Eck wants her athletes to “learn about being a positive role model to not only others but to themselves, learn how to become more disciplined in their daily lives and, most of all, to enjoy the love and success that life will bring them.”

This is Eck’s first year as the head coach during the fall season; she took over for long-time coach Sylvia Arnold last winter.

“It has been extremely rewarding so far, and I am looking forward to a fabulous season,” she said.

Helping smooth the way is a large group of return-ing members: seniors Destiny Bitting (captain), Kylie Burdge (captain), Bella Cedillo, Makayla Clavette, Amanda Foley, Ashlyn Miller, Camilla Rische, Ciera St. Onge and Brittani Wilkinson; juniors Allison Dickson, Jovanah Foote and Sylvia Hurlburt; and sophomores Kiara Burdge, Robin Cedillo, Lainey Dickson and Payton Wilson.

The newcomers are seniors Katie Lovell and Cassidy Rydell; juniors Jamzine Franklin, Maddy Neitzel and Julianne Sem; and freshmen Jessica Bester and Ayanna Jeter.

Eck has some lofty future goals for her team, including a trip to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego.

OH SwimmingWildcats keep on winning

Coaching changes seem to have little negative effect on the Oak Harbor High School girls swim team. Regardless of the turnover, the group keeps churning out wins year-after-year.

Erin Bull, the team’s fourth head coach in five years, can continue that trend with the help of eight returning letter winners.

Among the returnees are two all-conference athletes, senior captain Mollie Briddell and junior Marissa Morris.

Briddell earned first-team honors in the 100 backstroke last fall after picking up first-team honors in the 400 free-style relay as a sophomore.

She was 22nd in the back-stroke in the state 3A meet last year.

Morris has dominated the Wesco North in the longer swims the past two years, picking up first-team honors in the 200 and 500 freestyles as a freshman and sopho-more.

In the 2013 state meet, she placed 13th in the 500 and 17th in the 200.

Elizabeth Brooks and Elise Still are other returning senior letter winners, and the upperclassmen are setting a good example, according to Bull.

“We have a motivating group of seniors who are already leading the team in practices,” Bull said. “I know this will continue throughout the season as the girls push each other to do better and improve with each passing meet. The girls will conquer this season with great suc-cess.”

Juniors Sophia Dickinson and Mariel Empinado and sophomores Sydney Dickinson and Erica Sugatan round out the group of returning letter winners.

As a freshman, Sugatan

finished fifth in the 200 med-ley and seventh in the 100 backstroke in last fall’s dis-trict meet. She and Sophia Dickson were also members on the seventh-place 200 free relay team.

Key newcomers are fresh-men Taliah Black, Jillian Pape, Baelee Whitinger, Anna Kate Fahey, Grace Korsmo, Sierra Thompson and Rachelle Liban.

Bull has three goals for the season: one, for the swim-mers to leave the season enjoying the sport; two, for the athletes to meet their personal and team goals; and three, for them to leave with lifelong friendships and memories.

“We have a strong group of swimmers this year who are dedicated to the sport and committed to improvement,” Bull said.

The team’s greatest weak-ness, she added, is the lack of a diving program.

The season will be a suc-cess, according to Bull, if the “athletes train hard during practice to develop a sense of drive and accountability at the meets.”

Oak Harbor will attend the Wesco North Jamboree at Marysville-Pilchuck at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11. The first regular-season

meet is 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16, at Everett, followed by a 6 p.m. home meet with Monroe Monday, Sept. 22.

OH Cross CountryElite runners pace Wildcats

When building a cross country team, its nice to start with two of the best runners in the state.

Oak Harbor High School returns two stellar athletes, seniors John Rodeheffer and Jonalynn Horn.

Rodeheffer is the defend-ing league and district cham-pion and a three-time state participant. Last fall he placed 11th in the 3A state finals.

He was a first-team, all-Wesco choice the past two seasons after earning second-team honors as a freshman.

Horn finished eighth in the 3A girls state race, the second-best effort ever for an Oak Harbor girl. Debra Vaughn was second in 1994.

Horn was named to the all-Wesco first team in 2013.

The pair will lead Oak Harbor as it tries to add to its most successful sequence in school history.

The Wildcat boys qualified as a team for state three of the past four years and won district titles in 2011 and ‘12.

The girls qualified for state the past five years, a school-best string.

The boys return five let-termen: Rodeheffer, Logan Clark, Sebastian Ceaser, Miguel Guzman and Caleb Peek.

Clark, Ceaser and Guzman joined Rodeheffer among the top 50 runners at last year’s district meet.

Coach Eric Peterson sees this returning group as the team’s strength.

Key newcomers, he said, are Wyatt Pauley and Tyler Grehan.

“We have some really hard working guys that know how to race and what is expected,”

he said.On the girls side, Horn will

be joined by returning letter winners Laura Rodeheffer, Carolyn Wicker and Marisa Sligh.

The trio all competed for the Wildcats in the state meet last year, helping Oak Harbor finish 11th.

The top newcomers, Peterson said, are Meredith Bain, Emma Lerch and Olivia Flack. The three are among a large group of new runners, which is the team’s strength, according to Peterson.

The girls team, Peterson said, seems “excited and eager to improve, which will make for a great season as they develop.”

Overall, Peterson expects

the Wildcats to “have a great season.”

“Our kids always work hard and have fun at practice, which makes coaching a lot of fun,” he added. “With the positive attitudes and work ethic, we plan to finish in the top half of Wesco this season.”

The Wildcats start the sea-son at the Sehome Invitational at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept., 13, at Bellingham’s Civic Stadium. The only home meet is 3:45 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, at Windjammer Park.

n The preview stories for the Oak Harbor and Coupeville football teams appeared in Wednesday’s News-Times.

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

Mike Martin can’t say how many miles his 1914 Cadillac has travelled.

“The odometer doesn’t work,” Martin said. “They tend to break.

“The guy who restored it drove it cross-country three times, we think.”

Martin and his wife Carolyn will put a few more miles on their century-old car when they drive from their home in Stanwood to Whidbey Island this weekend for the start of the Island Navigator Tour.

The Skagit-Snohomish chapter of the Horseless Carriage Club of America picked Oak Harbor as the hub of its once-a-year big getaway, which starts Sunday, Sept. 7 and doesn’t wrap up until Thursday, Sept. 11.

Sixty-seven pre-1916 vehicles are scheduled to hit the streets and highways of Whidbey, requiring patience from resident commuters.

“A comfortable speed is about 35-40 mph,” Martin said. “I’ve had it faster, but it’s not good for it.”

This is the first time the Skagit-Snohomish chapter has based a tour on Whidbey, Martin said.

He and co-chair Pat Farrell, the trip’s organizers, have Oak Harbor roots, though Martin was only in town for a few years when he attended elementary school.

Previous sites of the tour have included Port Townsend, Walla Walla, Bellingham and Vancouver, Wash.

“This is our big tour,” said Steve Hammatt, a member from Mount Vernon. “We’ve done one and two-day things sometimes, but once a year we put on a fall tour and that’s five days and in a different location every year.”

The itinerary calls for different places on the island each day, with a return trip to Oak Harbor each night.

The vehicles will converge on Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor for a barbecue Sunday night. Then there are trips planned for Ebey’s Landing, Fort Casey and downtown Coupeville Monday, Freeland and Langley Tuesday and an off-island trek to La Conner Wednesday.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, parking in downtown Coupeville will be reserved for the club.

This is the 17th tour for the Skagit-Snohomish chapter of the Horseless Carriage Club of America, which has been around since 1937.

On its website, the parent club defines the Horseless Carriage “as

any pioneer gas, steam and electric motor vehicle built or manufac-tured prior to January 1, 1916.”

The club’s mission is to preserve these cars, restore them to their original condition and get them on the road. However, membership only requires an interest in vehicles of this time period, not ownership.

“The very earliest years of them look like horse-drawn wagons but the horse was missing,” Hammatt said. “That was the early nickname for them. Our club decided to use that term and actually define it up to the end of the 1915 production.”

Featured on the tour will be Cadillacs, Ford Model T’s, a Stutz Bearcat, a Pullman and Hudsons, among others. Some of the drivers will be wearing period clothing.

Steam-powered vehicles such as Stanley Steamers also will be a part of the tour, which is being co-hosted by the Steam Automobile Club of America.

When century-old vehicles break down, the drivers tend to be adept at sorting out issues.

“If you take it to somebody all the time, it’s going to be an expen-sive hobby,” Martin said. “Part of the problem is you can’t find any-body to work on it anymore.”

Vehicles with the Skagit-Snohomish chapter of the Horseless Carriage Club of America make a pitstop in Chehalis during a past tour. The club will be sending 67 pre-1916 vehicles from Cadillacs to Hudsons during the Island Navigator Tour on Whidbey Island Sept. 7-11.

Navigator Tourn Sixty-seven pre-1916 vehicles are scheduled to participate in the Island Navigator Tour on Whidbey Island Sept. 7-11. The tour is the annual getaway road trip for the Skagit-Snohomish chapter of the Horseless Car-riage Club of America. The Steam Automobile Club of America is co-hosting the event.

Let’s all sing praises for the summer of 2014, shall we? I must admit I always feel a swell of regret when September rolls around and our days on the island shorten dramatically. But my bedroom windows remain wide open and I’m still wearing flip flops, so I’m still smiling my way into fall, which officially begins at 10:29 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22

It looks like those days when we were sweating and drinking iced coffee have

produced a bumper crop of berries and apples. Eating apple crisp and washing it down with hot coffee sounds like a great antidote to wind and rain, doesn’t it?

I’m not the only one looking back on summer with awe. Adventure, wonder and life-building memories have filled the lives of Whidbey Islanders this summer.

CAROL WALL’s son REID SCHWARTZ and his family opened their dream restaurant, Hot Rock Pizza. Along with her husband Bob, Carol enjoyed caring for their adorable great grandson Daemien while his parents helped establish their dream.

MARY PEFLEY REYNOSO and KATHY STEWART LEMIEUX became grandmas for the very first time, and to say they are both over the moon with joy is an understatement.

LORI SHULOCK and PATRICIA SAPP MARTIN each watched their daughters get married under warm, sunny skies. “Perfect and love-filled” describes both weddings, say these proud mothers.

SARAH KIRBY KONOPIK and CAROL CHAPLIN both thank God for fabulous island events, beautiful summer weather and friends.

ANN ABRAHAMSE enjoyed weekly walks at Oak Harbor’s Windjammer Park, watching families picnic, fly kites, throw Frisbees, push strollers and play on the climbing structures at the park.

Some Whidbey Islanders left the Rock for a time of great adventure...

RYAN LIPSTEIN enjoyed a wonderful family trip to Florida’s Disney World before taking a solo trip to Bozeman, Mont., with her best friend to experience their Sweet Pea Festival.

SYLVIA TOZER enjoyed a Viking river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest with her daughter, son-in-law and his mother.

PAT STENGEL FELGER spent her 16th summer work-ing as a medic at Tall Timber Ranch and her fifth summer with grandson Alex at camp with her. Her best memory includes hanging out with her 91-year-old friend, HARRY CROSBY, the camp volunteer extraordinaire. Pat says Harry can fix anything, repurpose all sorts of things and make the best pies she has ever eaten.

ELLEN CHRISTENSEN went to Spain and France with Oak Harbor High School students and parents.

CATHY THAYER got the call no parent is ever prepared for: “Your son was shot near the door of his home. He’s at the hospital and they’re unable to release information because the shooter is still at large.” She and her husband, GARY THAYER, learned that although evil is still very much alive and well, “there are still very active angels more capable and more prepared than we could ever be. There are also human angels and a spirit of community alive and well, and people who are ready and willing to be supportive and helpful. Sometimes that help comes from the least likely sources, and that those we traditionally think might be there for us actu-ally are not, but instead are replaced by an army of others we least suspect.”

Sometimes we are gifted by sunshine. Sometimes those gifts come amidst a great and unwelcome storm. But for most everyone, summer 2014 has been a stand out and we move toward fall with gratitude.

Cranberry Lake at Deception Pass State Park was a popular destination in the early 1920s, too, as seen in this photograph of a potluck. These lakeside picnics served as fundraisers to maintain the park and for the eventual bridge project. As part of a “Looking Back” series, local author and pioneer descendant Peggy Darst Townsdin is sharing photos with the Whidbey News-Times and its readers. Townsdin’s new photo history book, “Oak Harbor,” has been published. To buy a book or have a book mailed, contact Townsdin at pctowns [email protected] or call 360-678-5970.

submitted a pre-application to build a 4,386-square-foot restaurant on the Berg site.

It would have been the third McDonald’s in the greater Oak Harbor community, but the project didn’t come together.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley noted that Oak Harbor already has a Rite Aid store

in the Safeway complex, but added he has no concerns about it relocating to a new building at the currently vacant property.

A corporate Rite Aid spokeswoman said the company is evaluating its options in the area.

Dudley said it is important for the city to have something in the high-profile site.

Such businesses are important for a com-munity as the baby boomer generation starts to retire, he added.

Just across the street from the property is a Walgreens drugstore.

PROPERTYCONTINUED FROM A1

Photo by Jessie Stensland/Whidbey News-Times

A few weeds grow in an empty lot in the middle of Oak Harbor. It used to be the site of a car lot, but a developer is considering building a Rite Aid and a restaurant there.

order houses are growing sources of competition, and Lind is considering sell-ing portions of the business to a national or Washington-based chain.

“Nothing has happened yet,” Lind said. “They are inquiring and we’re hear-ing what they have to say.”

Interested corporations include Walgreens, with about 8,200 stores nationwide, CVS with about 7,600 loca-tions, Rite Aid with about 4,600 stores and Bartell Drugs, a state chain with about 60 locations throughout the Puget Sound area.

Saratoga Enterprises encompasses Lind’s Coupeville Pharmacy, Lind’s Freeland Pharmacy and Lind’s Jewelry, also located in Freeland.

Any potential sale would likely include the drug store and pharmacy in Freeland. The Coupeville location is probably too small to generate interest from a national chain, Lind said.

Rumors that the entire business was sold or is closing have run rampant for more than a week. Lind said any deal is still at least two months out, and that he wasn’t planning to make an announce-ment until there was something substan-tial to report.

There simply isn’t much to tell yet, he said.

“What I can say is if something does happen, all our employees would be taken care of,” Lind said.

“Number two, Lind’s will continue to exist.”

The Freeland pharmacy might have a different name, but Lind’s Jewelry, the gift, retail, Whidbey artists cards and clothing element of the store would remain.

“It just won’t be Lind’s Pharmacy in Freeland,” he said.

Lind and his wife, Pam, opened their first location in Langley about 40 years ago. They lived for years above the phar-macy and store with their children. The business included a retail/gift element.

The company footprint later grew

to include locations in Freeland and Coupeville. Linds Jewelry, a separate business, is located adjacent the Freeland drug store.

Saratoga Enterprises today is owned by multiple people, but Lind and his wife control the majority of shares. The com-pany employs about 55 people.

Chet Ross, president of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce, said he was aware of the potential sale, calling it “the biggest secret on the street,” in refer-ence to the rumors floating around the community.

Any potential sale would be bitter-sweet, as corporate backing adds a mea-sure of stability but at the price of local ownership, Ross said.

“Sometimes when a large corporate entity takes over, a personal touch is lost,” he said.

“If anyone had a problem, Ron was always available.”

John Norton, spokesman for the National Community Pharmacists Association, confirmed that financial pressures from mail-order houses and reduced reimbursements are increasing-ly common hurdles for the approximate-ly 23,000 independent owners across the country.

“To some people, the changes have been pretty brutal,” Norton said.

In particular, mail-order houses, usu-ally owned by insurance companies, fre-quently offer cheaper pharmaceuticals to consumers. Also, some “preferred phar-macy plans” exclude reimbursements to all but national chains.

“They try to cut us out,” Norton said, adding that he sees it as unfair competi-tion.

Aaron Syring, owner of Island Drug in Oak Harbor, Clinton and LaConner, agrees that the industry is now an uneven playing field.

Due to his North Whidbey location’s proximity to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Syring said he often grapples with Tricare, which has built-in finan-cial incentives directing patients to mail-order houses.

“It’s a federal government plan that’s punishing local businesses,” Syring said. “It’s pretty staggering.”

INDUSTRYCONTINUED FROM A1


A former explosives ord-nance technician and council candidate will be the newest member of the Oak Harbor Planning Commission.

Oak Harbor City Council approved Mayor Scott Dudley’s appointment of Michael Piccone to the com-mission without comment Tuesday.

The council previously ruffled mayoral feathers, and ignited a debate about parliamentary procedure, by refusing to confirm Dudley’s appointment of Cliff Howard to the commission.

Howard is a self-described “politically incorrect” blogger on a conservative website and has been a strong sup-porter of Dudley. The council

members didn’t say during the August meeting why they didn’t want to confirm Howard; Dudley accused them of being politically moti-vated.

Only Councilman Jim Campbell voted against the motion to reject Howard’s appointment.

Several council members said afterward that their decision was not political. Councilwoman Tara Hizon said she welcomes different opinions, but that Howard’s blog showed that he didn’t have a good understand-ing about how government works.

The coming year will be very important for the plan-ning commission, which will be tackling the ongoing update to the city’s compre-

hensive plan.Piccone ran against

Councilman Danny Paggao last year. Dudley made head-lines by campaigning door to door for Piccone and a couple of other candidates he preferred.

In his biography form, Piccone wrote that he is a retired Navy explosives ord-nance disposal technician and is currently a stay-at-home dad.

“Navy Dive School and EOD School taught me what it means to pay attention to detail,” he wrote, “and make correct common sense deci-sions. Even though my dis-abilities prevent me from serving in uniform, I wish to serve my community. I believe the planning commis-sion is a great place to start.”

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

The lawsuit names Island Transit and Rose personally as defendants.

It is the second lawsuit filed against the beleaguered agency this year; financial difficulties forced transit offi-cials to lay off employees and cut routes this summer.

The estate of a woman who died in 2011 filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Island Transit in July.

The woman was injured in a paratransit bus after her wheelchair wasn’t secured and she later suffered a cardiac arrest, the lawsuit alleges.

The newest lawsuit states that Rose fired Lawrence, the only black person in the maintenance division, following a pre-termination hearing in April.

According to the com-plaint, Lawrence explained that, during the meeting with Rose and other rep-resentatives from Island Transit, the concerns about his performance were base-less.

The lawsuit states that Rose later testified at a Washington State Employment Security Department hearing that Lawrence raised his voice and became irate during the meeting.

Lawrence claims that he recorded the meeting on his iPhone and the recording proves that he spoke “in a calm and restrained matter.”

The lawsuit alleges that Rose fired Lawrence because of his race and age; he was replaced by some-one younger who received a lower wage, according to the complaint.

The lawsuit also alleges that Rose wrote a memo about her meeting with Lawrence that included “false and defamatory infor-mation.”

In an interview Friday, Moody said he doesn’t believe it was illegal for Lawrence to secretly record the meeting.

Under state law, people are required to notify others that they are being recorded in certain situations.

Moody said there was no expectation of privacy at the pre-termination hearing because information from the meeting was dissemi-nated outside of the room.

He said Rose dissemi-nated information about the meeting to the Washington State Employment Security Department. She claimed that Lawrence committed misconduct, he said.

The administrative judge found there was no miscon-duct and granted Lawrence unemployment benefits.

two heavy downpours of rain sent sheets of water rolling underneath the front door, down the interior stairs and into the building’s lobby, office and green room.

“It just came down the stairs like a tsunami,” Powell said.

The heavy bursts of rain and ice that hit North and Central Whidbey Island Tuesday afternoon created road hazards and flooding headaches in Oak Harbor.

Pools of standing water slowed traffic on State Highway 20 while it also backed up and overflowed into structures.

Hot Rock Pizza on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor was forced to close for two hours Tuesday because water was entering the kitchen through the ceiling. After a thor-ough cleanup, the restaurant was able to re-open in time for dinner customers, manager Jess Wagner said.

The two rain bursts hit about an hour apart, starting shortly before 2 p.m.

In reality, only about a quarter-inch of precipitation was measured in Coupeville and Oak Harbor Tuesday but the ferocity couldn’t be ignored.

Julia Locke, a longtime playhouse board member, was driving back from Burlington and approaching the Deception Pass Bridge when the second downpour hit, forcing her to pull off the road because of poor visibility.

“We’ve had flooding in the playhouse before,” she said, “so I figured we were going to have some flooding so I went

directly to the playhouse instead of going home.”

By that time, playhouse president Rusty Hendrix had already made a call out for help on the playhouse’s Facebook page and members and supporters responded quickly with Shop-Vacs and high-powered fans.

Before that, Powell, her husband Hector and actor Kevin Wm. Meyer had been using everything in sight to stem the tide of water from under the door, including pieces of carpet, Powell’s sweat-ers, a jacket and pot holders from the kitchen.

A French drain near the playhouse entrance wasn’t able to keep up with

the rapid accumulation of water in the parking lot and eventually the water level raised high enough at the front door to enter the lower-level building.

After holding up well against the first front of rain using everything they could find, Powell said she remembers watch-ing Meyer’s face when they heard the rain pound on the roof again a short time later.

Meyer is known for his comedy at the playhouse, but this was no laughing matter.

“Kevin opened the door again a little bit and said, ‘This doesn’t seem good,’ ” Powell said.


A sign points visitors to an alternate entrance to the Whidbey Playhouse Wednesday, a day after two big downpours flooded the lobby with a couple inches of water.
