Whidbey News-Times, September 19, 2012

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

P atches of prairie on Central Whidbey last week were once again ablaze with the

fires of science.For the third year in a row,

researchers and land managers with various organizations from around the state conducted con-trolled burns of grasslands at Ebey’s Bluff and the Pacific Rim Institute of Environmental Stewardship.

The specific goals and objectives of each group vary, but all are essentially looking at how the regular use of fire can affect prai-rie ecosys-tems and its applications for land management.

“We’re definitely finding that fire is an important and effective tool,” said Eric Delvin, a community conserva-tion coordinator with The Nature Conservancy and a graduate student at the University of Washington.

Delvin is working on his doctor-ate in ecology and has been study-ing techniques to rapidly restore prairies to their native state. His project, which spanned three cal-endar years, was funded by about $220,000 in grants from U.S. Fish and Wildlife.

The hope is that his research will pave the way for the reintroduction of five species of butterflies. They include Taylor’s checkerspot, the island marble, the Mardon skip-per, the Puget blue and the valley silverspot.

Once common in areas around Puget Sound, they thrived on spe-

cies of vegetation such as camas lily and golden paintbrush. Golden paintbrush is a federally listed spe-cies and, of just 12 remaining wild populations in the world, three are located on Whidbey Island, accord-ing to Devlin.

“Right now we have the larg-est population in existence,” agreed Robert Pelant, director of the Pacific Rim Institute of Environmental Stewardship.

Native prairie species have largely been replaced by European grasses

introduced by farmers over the past 150 years. Pelant clas-sifies all the areas involved in the study as “severely degraded.”

A l o n g with fire, Delvin has studied two other techniques for restoring prai-rie habitat. Solarization, the prac-tice of using sheets of plastic to foster growth, has been tried as has simply seeding an area to see if the native species dominate by themselves.

This year marked the end of Delvin’s research and the results were not what he expected. With a personal background in agriculture, he suspected that solarization would be the most effective, but it was fire that proved the most successful.

Golden paintbrush appeared to flourish in areas that were burned, or particularly, were heavily sub-jected to smoke, he said. Other native species also appear to favor the burned areas, he said.

“They are really adapted to fire ecosystems,” Delvin said.

It’s believed that Whidbey’s prai-

ries were created by glaciation but maintained over the millennia by Native Americans, who used fire for both agricultural purposes and hunting.

If it weren’t for those practices, along with fires started from natu-ral lightning strikes, many of the prairies would have long ago been reclaimed by Whidbey’s forests or dominated by shrubs, Pelant said.

A team from the Center for Natural Lands Management, a non-profit group that has taken over The Nature Conservancy’s South Sound Program for prairie conservation, was also present.

While they are studying fire as a land management tool in areas

around Puget Sound, they were in Central Whidbey largely to plan and conduct the burn safely, according to Mason McKinley, ecological fire manager for the group.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials attended as well. Delvin said the agency is looking at using fire as a land management tool on Protection Island, a national wildlife refuge in Discovery Bay.

Although Delvin’s work is now complete, the burns are expected to continue next year. Pelant said the institute will certainly continue burning to restore native prairie habitat and may also experiment with limited and controlled grazing by livestock such as goats.

The 24-hour patrol services provided by the Coupeville Marshal’s Office may have come to an end – at least for awhile.

Within a three-month period, the town will lose 75 percent of its deputy force. Two members of the town’s police force have already left, and one has given notice that he will leave in mid-October.

To deal with the short staffing, one option town officials may look into is contracting out policing services with the Island County Sheriff’s Office or even the Oak Harbor Police Department.

Deputy James Covert’s last work day was on Aug. 24, while Deputy Adrian Kuschnereit departed on Sept. 1 and Deputy Chris Peabody will leave next month.

“I have spoken with all three and there is no indicator that there is a problem in the depart-ment,” Marshal Lance Davenport said. “I have heard directly that the department is moving in the right direction.”

According to Davenport, Kuschnereit accepted a posi-tion with the Burlington Police Department because of the

The Navy has announced Maylor’s Point Trail in Oak Harbor has been temporar-ily closed.

The trail, which runs through the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Seaplane Base along the north beach

of Maylor’s Point in Oak Harbor and connects with the city’s waterfront trail, was closed this month and will remain closed until December.

The closure is necessary to allow a contractor to use

the trail for equipment and access to truck in sand and gravel, which will be placed on the beach to promote fish spawning. The trail will be closed from where it enters Seaplane Base next to the City of Oak Harbor Marina to the westernmost point.

Questions can be direct-ed to the City Parks and Recreation Department at 360-279-4752 or NAS Whidbey Island Public Affairs Office at 360-257-2286.

Oak Harbor’s first Veter-ans Day Parade is shaping up nicely, say organizers.

The parade is set to be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, according to Terry Lacey, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392, who came up with the idea. He said registrations for the event are starting to pick up as it draws closer and re-sponse from the community has been very positive.

“They basically just won-der why it’s taken this long to do it,” he said. “And they don’t seem to see weather as being a factor. So hopefully we’ll have good weather.”

Anyone that is a veteran, any veteran’s group or or-ganization or any organiza-tion that serves veterans is welcome to participate in the parade, which will follow the traditional route down Pio-neer Way to Bayshore Drive and back onto Pioneer Way. Lacey encourages people from all over Whidbey Is-land to take part.

So far, Lacey said the Ma-rine Corps League, several

Pearl Harbor survivors, the Navy Junior Reserve Offi-cer Training Corps and even the Oak Harbor High School Band have signed up to par-ticipate, among others.

“The band jumped right on board with it,” Lacey said. “They’ll be playing patriotic music so it’s really good that we got them.”

The parade should be quite an impressive proces-sion. According to Lacey, there will be people car-rying the flags from all 50 states, the 27 versions of the official American flag used

since our nation’s birth, and at least 60 fallen warrior ban-ners will be carried by either active duty military mem-bers or veterans.

In addition to several vet-erans groups and organiza-tions, members of the Cana-dian contingent stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station are also planning to show their support by marching.

“We’re all in this together,” said Lacey. “I think it’s just a common cause in all of us.”

Anyone interested in par-ticipating can call Lacey at 672-8339 for information. Applications to participate will be accepted up until just before the parade, but Lacey does urge people to sign up in advance. Applications are available at www.ohvetsday parade.com along with other information about the event. There is no cost to partici-pate.

“It makes you feel good as a vet,” Lacey said. “You know, you’re trying to do something good for the com-munity and when asked, ev-eryone is willing to do what they need to do.”

Organizers of the latest community solar project are one investor away from being able to start install-ing panels on the last part of the arrays at the Green-bank Farm.

Hans Fredrickson, owner of Fredrickson Electric, is rounding up 16 Puget Sound Energy customers to invest in the latest com-munity solar energy project at the publicly owned farm. He visited the Greenbank Farm during the Farm Tour last weekend to con-vince potential investors. He said he hopes to have the last one on board in the next day or so. Once that is finished, installation of the panels can begin.

Fredrickson Electric is a Port Townsend company contracted by Newport Eq-uity Fund — Greenbank Farm — LLC, to round up investors and install the panels of three arrays at the publicly owned farm.

Once complete, the Greenbank community solar project will be one of the largest in the state, Fredrickson said.

Three lines of racks awaiting panels are cur-rently standing at Green-bank Farm between the farm buildings and High-way 525. Those racks were installed earlier in the summer.

Fredrickson said prog-ress in finding investors was slowed a bit because Puget Sound Energy wanted to validate the list of investors to make sure they were separate customers. Appar-ently in similar community

solar projects throughout the state, some of the inves-tors were married but in-vesting separately. He said all of the investors partici-pating in the Newport proj-ect at the Greenbank Farm meet requirements.

There are three groups who have installed solar ar-rays that comprise one acre of land at the Greenbank Farm. Island Community Solar has two arrays that went into operation last year while Cascade Com-munity Wind has one array that became operational earlier in the summer. The Newport project will take up the remaining space for three arrays, which will fill

the space allotted for solar energy. In all, the commu-nity solar projects at the Greenbank Farm will pro-duce around 150,000 kilo-watt hours per year.

The community solar projects sprang up because of recent legislation that provides up to $1.08 per kilowatt hour incentive, which is scheduled to ex-pire in 2020.

Jim Patton, executive director for the Port of

Coupeville, which owns the Greenbank Farm, said that once the project is complete, the solar energy will offset the power con-sumed by the Greenbank Farm. The port will receive compensation through the leases it has with the three groups, which will bring in about $3,000 a year.

Fredrickson needed 16 investors because it allows a maximum return of in-vestment under the legisla-

tion, which is $5,000. The three panels are expected to generate 75,000 kilowatt hours, which would bring in about $80,000.

Once complete, Fre-drickson said it’s unlikely many more similar solar projects will be built be-cause of the expiration of the incentive. As that 2020 date draws near, the return on investment will dimin-ish.

The racks stand awaiting solar panels at the Greenbank Farm, which will soon be installed.

The Coupeville Festival Association is looking for applicants for the organiza-tion’s yearly grants.

All proceeds from the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, which takes place in early August, go back into the community within the 98239 zip code. Those proceeds are divvied up in the form of grants and schol-arships. The association has awarded more than $500,000 since 1964.

Check the festival associa-tion website, www.coupeville festival.com and click “grants” to see if a request qualifies.

Last year, the Coupeville Festival Association awarded grants to the Giant Pumpkin Contest, Coupeville Schools Juvenile Detention Center, the Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce, Sno-Isle Libraries, Island County Museum, Penn Cove Water Festival, Pacific Northwest Art School, Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, WSU Island County Extension, the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club, and Coupeville History Day, according to the Coupeville Festival Association website.

Fill out an application and mail it to P.O. Box 611, Coupeville, WA, 98239. Deadline is Oct. 21.

increase in pay and opportunities for professional development and advancement.

Davenport declined to comment on Covert’s departure, but said it was not performance related.

Peabody has signed a conditional offer of employment with the Oak Harbor Police Department and expects to begin his new job around Nov. 1. Davenport said police pay in Oak Harbor is significantly higher than in Coupeville.

The town of Coupeville pays its deputies significantly less than all other surrounding jurisdictions, Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said.

A full-time Coupeville deputy is paid between $43,720 to $49,170 per year, plus benefits. The marshal’s annual salary is $63,752 per year, with payment in lieu of benefits. The pay range for an Oak Harbor police officer is $57,792 to $72,240 per year, plus benefits.

Coupeville recently created a posi-tion for a higher-paid sergeant to serve as a mid-tier position with addi-tional responsibilities beyond that of a deputy. Once filled, the position would replace a deputy position.

As a result of the unprecedent-ed turnover, the Coupeville Town Council will begin discussing several options for law enforcement: reor-ganize the department, raise taxes to pay for higher deputy salaries, or contract out for services from Island County or even Oak Harbor.

“It’s really disappointing because we’ve got some folks who really like our community and like being here, but they’re in places in their career and families where they need to make more money than what we can afford to pay them,” Conard said.

Finding new deputiesThe town began the process

of filling two deputy vacancies in August when it announced the posi-tion online and in the local papers. Of the 15 individuals who applied, five – three who are new to police work and two with prior experience

– are being considered for employ-ment following screening by the town’s Civil Service Commission.

Davenport said that he supports hiring a lateral-entry applicant because preparing such a candidate for patrol work takes less time than for a recruit new to police work.

If an entry-level deputy is hired, he or she would first need to attend an academy class, which takes about 18 weeks, followed by about 12 weeks of field training. The next academy class does not begin until mid-December and a new recruit would not be ready for independent duty for seven to eight months.

The hiring process itself could take between six to eight weeks to complete, Davenport said.

The near futureBecause of the departures and

the length of time involved in hiring replacements, there will be a signifi-cant amount of time in which only one or two deputies will be on duty.

“The shortage of personnel will require a mix of active patrol duties along with periods of on-

call time which will ensure 24-hour response,” Davenport wrote in a memo to the council.

Conard said the schedule of when the deputies are on-call or on patrol will vary.

The town will also invite officers from the Island County Sheriff’s Office and the Oak Harbor Police Department to pick up shifts in Coupeville outside of their regular duties. The regular hourly rate for a town deputy is $23.64 plus ben-efits, and if they pick up an extra shift they are paid time and a half. Officers brought in from outside are paid $30 per hour.

“While not ideal, we are fortunate to have established strong relation-ships with both the Sheriff’s Office and Oak Harbor, both of which have allowed their personnel to serve as reserve officers for the Marshal’s Office,” Davenport said.

Several sheriff’s deputies and Oak Harbor officers already have offered their services. Most live in Coupeville, and some are former Coupeville deputies, Davenport said.

Reorganization?Conard said that of the options

available, the best would be reorga-nization of the department.

That could involve permanently eliminating one deputy position. The salary and benefits would then be reallocated to the remaining three deputies and make the posi-tions more competitive with other agencies in Island County.

“There simply is not enough money in the budget to get on par with other agencies (and keep all four positions),” Davenport said.

Like the short-term plan, some shifts would be covered by an on-call deputy or a reserve deputy, and 24-hour patrol services would become a thing of the past.

However, Davenport said, devel-opment of the town’s reserve pro-gram and the inclusion of officers from other agencies would help shore up patrol services.

“We can measure it, try it and see how it works,” Conard said.

Daniel L. Torget died in the early hours Sunday morning after his car col-lided with a power pole on Fish Road. He was 21 years old.

Torget was a half-mile from his mother’s house near the intersection of Fish Road and Garden Lane. His 2007 Mazda 6, a black four-door sedan, went off the road at about 2 a.m. and slammed into a power pole, with impact on the front passenger side of the car. The cause of the crash was unknown, and Island County Coroner Robert Bishop said the blood toxicology report will take between three and four weeks.

“There’s so many things from fatigue to messing with the radio,” Bishop said.

“Who knows?” Bishop added: “He didn’t

drive straight into it. He lost control of the car.”

According to the Washington State Patrol inci-dent report, Torget was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Torget was driving west on Fish Road away from Highway 525 when the crash occurred. Washington State Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash and will determine the speed of impact. Bishop said the car’s airbags deployed, but were not enough to pre-vent blunt force trauma to Torget’s abdomen.

“There was significant intrusion on the passenger’s side,” said South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jon Beck. “At least 18 inches.”

On Monday morning, a roadside memorial was set up around the power pole

Torget crashed into. Gouges in the wooden pole with splinters still poking out served as a grim headstone surrounded by flowers, can-dles and one hand-written card.

“It’s just really, really sad,” Bishop said. “He’s way too young.”

Torget is not alone in being a young man to die in

a speeding-related car crash in Washington.

The Washington Traffic Safety Commission report-ed most speeding-related deaths from 2006 to 2010 were men between 21 and 25 years old, with 192 fatalities. Of the total fatalities in that time period, 37 percent were on county roads, like Fish Road in Freeland.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS, with headquarters on nearby Cameron Road, was one of the first responders to the scene, shortly after a Whidbey General EMS crew. Beck was the duty officer that morning and drove from the Bayview station five min-utes after the dispatch was heard. Attempts were made to save Torget’s life, includ-ing cardiopulmonary resus-citation (CPR) by Whidbey General Hospital emergency medical technicians and

South Whidbey Fire/EMS responders, though they were unsuccessful. Torget was declared dead at the scene, and Bishop notified his mother, Debbie Torget.

Fish Road is a familiar site to South Whidbey Fire/EMS. Beck said there have been at least five major car crashes there since he’s been with the fire district.

“We’ve had several acci-dents on that corner, cars just going way too fast at that intersection,” Beck said.

“Fish Road comes off a 55

mph road, it’s a nice condi-tion road and people just fly through there.”

The impact of the crash knocked some of the power lines and the cross arm loose. Puget Sound Energy was called in to repair the lines.

On the South Whidbey Record’s website, comment-ers posted their sympathies and well wishes for Torget and his family. His family is organizing and will announce plans for a public celebration of Torget’s life.

Freeland man dies in car crash on Fish RoadFatalities increase as summer ends

September was the third-highest month for fatalities in a five-year study from 2006 to 2010, behind August (112) and July (111). More speeding-related fatalities occur on Sunday than any other day of the week with 242 in that time, also with an overwhelming majority (235) occur-ring between midnight and 3 a.m.

Letters to the editorNoise,�safety�issues�persist�near�field

After a recent tour of the Navy’s Ault Field, I was impressed with the enthusi-asm and training operation I was allowed to see.

It must be a tremendous challenge to keep ahead of potential enemies in technol-ogy, equipment and the per-sonnel to effectively use it.

But noise and safety issues for the Navy’s neighbors do concern me. After the recent Navy Hornet crash in Virginia Beach, I realize that risk is ever present, if rare.

And I believe that the Navy could find a better compromise with risk and noise to be more consider-ate of us civilian neighbors.

Three out of four Ault Field runways terminate at or near water. The fourth extends predominantly over low density government land until Crescent Harbor.

The Navy could make a better effort to fly over water to decrease risk and noise. Yet their aircraft con-

trollers seem to direct air traffic without consideration of Whidbey’s population below.

Their radar screens don’t even indicate Whidbey’s land mass, just the runways. They do direct traffic clear of the Navy hospital and kids’ school. But what about the rest of us?

The P3s (propeller planes) deploy sub listening devices while flying 200 feet above water. So skimming North Whidbey’s treetops is sec-ond nature to these talented pilots. But it’s noisier and riskier to those below.

Prowlers and Growlers practice carrier landings, cir-cling above Whidbey Island land to repeat touch-and-gos. These planes could follow a larger loop, flying over water before returning to Base.

They could “stack” above the runway, flying in cir-cles like layers of a cake, descending in turn to land, just as they do with aircraft carriers at sea.

This “stack” could be at higher altitude, predomi-nantly over government

land, and quieter with less risk to us neighbors.

Why isn’t the Navy more considerate of us neighbors? Because it would be slightly less convenient. Because they are preoccupied with training. Because they have the power to do so.

With a genuine effort to respect the civilian neigh-bors nearby, I’m convinced that the Navy could do much to reduce risk and noise.

The sound of freedom has become more like the deaf-ening roar of war. It doesn’t have to be that way.

The�real�meaning�of�change

As an older person, I have seen many changes take place. Politically, eco-nomically, socially and in too many other ways to list.

Maybe it’s just senil-ity setting in, but I can’t sit back and watch the country lose grasp of our founders’ efforts that made America

the greatest nation in the world.

Maybe it’s normal for older people to resist change, but when I see younger folks with adornments on their face, I can’t help but won-der if they just want to be noticed, or feel they must accept the mentality of the herd in order to fit in.

Tattoos are the “in” thing now. Not just a simple “Mom” in a heart, but a whole tapes-try covering a good portion of what’s visible.

Tattooed grandmothers were nonexistent when I was young. Hair styles have changed too. From shaved heads to multi-colored rooster combs, even twisted ropes and pigtails.

I recall a saying, “a wom-an’s hair is her flory and a man’s hair is his shame.” I think that’s true in many cases.

If what goes around comes around, maybe we’ll see judges wearing wigs again.

Navy officials have given the city until next summer to move all the animals out of the dilapidated building that has served as the city’s

animal shelter for much too long. The small building is woefully inadequate to house

a dog-and-cat pound for a city the size of Oak Harbor. Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation, or WAIF, has done an admirable job running the shelter under a contract with the city, but the situation is untenable. Cages of cats are literally stacked like cordwood inside the shelter. It doesn’t have proper ventilation or sewage service. In the summer the building gets oppressively hot. It’s located on the Seaplane Base, which can cause access problems for members of the public and WAIF staff.

Closing the building was the right move on the Navy’s part and hopefully will spur city leaders to make a deci-sion on an issue that’s been put off for years. City officials plan, unfortunately, to put out a request for proposals in the hopes that a business or group will somehow provide a shelter. The idea is a misguided attempt to save money.

Oak Harbor needs its own animal shelter. With less than a year to go, city officials should look seriously at the options now, and decide whether WAIF or another group will manage the facility in the future.

Years ago, a city committee looked into building a new animal shelter on city-owned land off of Goldie Road. The idea went nowhere because of the cost, and that same concern persists today – especially with the economic climate.

Yet the shelter doesn’t need to be an expensive, new structure. It could be located in an unused, empty build-ing or even rented space. The facility just needs to be something that can provide lost and abandoned pets a proper, healthy home. It should be easy to find and a pleasant place to visit. Perhaps the Navy base and the city can continue to partner in the venture to offset costs.

Oak Harbor residents love their dogs and cats. They would certainly support a plan to adequately care for homeless pets.

CorrectionA letter to the editor, “Navy looking into it,” was erro-

neously attributed to the wrong Navy official. The letter was written by Capt. Jay Johnston, commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. We regret the error.


Touch-and-go should just go

Outlying Field in Coupeville is a totally inappropriate loca-tion to conduct jet touch-and-go landings because it is situated in the midst of a suburban area. A decision long overdue should have ter-minated this operation and located it elsewhere.

The expectation to feel safe and secure in one’s home is not served by embrac-ing such juvenile gibberish as “sound of freedom” while the constant shriek and roar of low-flying jets rattles your windows and destroys quality of life. Freedom involves the ability to voice grievances, the necessity of media to inform the public, and the obligation of government to ensure citi-zens’ “right to the pursuit of happiness.”

I witnessed the terrifying dislocations of life in that zone when I visited with friends at a home underlying a segment of the touch-and-go traffic pat-tern. Children and pets can-not remain outdoors for fear of being crazed by the sound levels beyond the threshold of tolerance. Conversation indoors is a tableau of inco-herence.

Over the years, we have witnessed the often surpris-ing willingness of the military and FAA to accommodate the public from whom they draw legitimacy and support. In order to lower hazard-ous noise levels, they have required the use of quieter engines, changed flight pat-terns, altitudes and hours of operation. But when neces-sary, they have terminated and relocated offending oper-ations.

During an overseas tour, I was directed to fly my min-ions to a more remote loca-tion to practice our military arts because our training operations had caused off-site damage and a civilian death. This was smart, compassion-ate and cost conscious. The new location was a prepared facility on a U.S. government site.

About 15 years ago I was looking for an ideal place in Cascadia to spend our advanc-ing years. Coupeville was high on the list. But when my duti-ful real estate agent showed me a map of the area with the mandatory noise hazard over-lays, I immediately excluded certain areas but wondered: What of the people who live under that pall now? When they came, did they know? When did they find out? Why are they still there now?

They may be prisoners of progress. As the buzzy WWII

recips were replaced in the fleet air arm by single, then twin-engine turbines, noise levels unacceptable for resi-dential habitation trapped many families in their legacy homes. Frogs endure in water being heated to the boil, until they boil. Unlike frogs, people cry out when limits of toler-ance are reached.

Only an enlightened inter-vention will end this deba-cle. Although the Defense Department owns millions of acres of desert land with airfields and restricted air-space within the totality of our western states, do not be surprised if Coupeville’s con-tagion of noise is relocated to Ault Field!

Not very enlightened has been some of the com-mentary responding to the gentle remonstrance of the Coupeville sufferer. The hid-eous imprecations of the igno-rant and (threat of?) vigilante patrols at her home are mat-ters that must be addressed by appropriate authorities, military and civilian.

Another published com-mentary reflects the patriotic resignation of a family whose home is under or near one of the access corridors of Ault Field. They bravely endure and “get on with life.” But I would assure them that while their exposure to departure and arrival noise levels is a bloody nuisance, exposure under the OLF pattern is a world apart. Now if one has foreknowledge of noise hazards and relocates to that environment, little remedia-tion is available unless safety matters are also an issue.

But who can gainsay the regal, reassuring thrum of P-3s as they go about busi-ness in the local area? As for the OLF, give model enthusi-asts a piece of it, then tear up the rest and plant lavender.

Newspaper editors deserve applause

In 1776, the United States was born by denouncing the tyranny of a government that lost sight of, didn’t care for and ignored its people.

It took 11 years to get orga-nized, but in 1787 the first Constitutional convention convened and a new democ-racy was born. But in spite of concentrated efforts, they still overlooked one important thing: their people.

So two years later in 1791, 10 amendments were ratified, becoming known as the “Bill of Rights.” The first was to secure the rights of citizens to voice their concerns in public. The next three were protec-

tion against the aggressive arrogance of the new nation’s military or “militia.”

The Second Amendment makes it clear that the situa-tion had grown so grievous that to keep the militia “well regulated” it was considered essential to allow the citizenry to bear arms.

One of our most revered and knowledgeable presi-dents and revered military General Eisenhower, warned of the tendency for military arrogance to rise up like a monster from the deep.

But his warnings have been out shouted and lost in the cacophony of those clamor-ing for the need for greater and more powerful defense as if that were the only path to peace.

Over 100 years ago, Mark Twain wrote prophetically about it in “The Victory of the Loud Little Handful” who “thank God for the better sleep he (they) enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.”

During the Republican debates, candidate Ron Paul significantly said, “What if we just treated other nations like we would like to be treated?” Where did that idea come from? Think of the money we’d save and better economy we’d have.

In the spirit of our most cherished freedoms, Whidbey News-Times editorial staff wrote to defend a lady who voiced her feelings about increased noise at the Navy’s Outlying Field.

The editorial staff deserve our hearty applause and support. The validity of the alleged military quest for peace is justifiably questioned when it drives people from their homes.

Sure, the Navy has been here longer than most resi-dents, but through their vet-erans and affiliates, they also support government that promotes population growth, commercial urbanization, and housing development (so long as theirs is tax free).

Our business community aggressively invites people to buy homes here. The vicious outcry against the citizen who exercised her right of free speech not only is an egre-gious violation of our nation’s Constitution, it is a despicably callous hypocrisy.

Like the events creating the need for the Second, Third and Fourth Constitutional amendments, some military enthusiasts have forgotten the need (and right) of the people to be secure in their homes.

Why not have a little more reason, thoughtfulness and effort to reach a rational understanding to the prob-lems instead of thoughtlessly angry threats and retorts?

It’s been proposed that

Sept. 17 be Constitution Day in honor of the day the origi-nal was signed in 1787. It’s a good time for us all to spend a few moments reading our nation’s Constitution begin-ning with its Preamble.

A little meeting of the minds where both sides listen more than shout can solve a lot more than wild hip-shot angry words: Proverbs 15:1 (the Bible).

No surprises from Romney

It was the smirk that got to me.

I’m not surprised that Mitt Romney would criticize President Obama while our embassy in Benghazi was burning and our ambas-sador to Libya and three other diplomats lay dead. I’m not surprised that he didn’t wait to find out that the statement he called an “apology” for provoking the attacks was made before the attacks occurred. I was sur-prised that after he did find out, he still insisted on his illogical — indeed impos-sible — accusation. If we didn’t already know it, we now have proof positive that his hindsight is worse than his foresight.

But more alarming than Romney’s quick trigger, more arrogant than his refus-al to admit a mistake, more crass than his attempt to make political hay out of an attack on the United States, was the satisfied smile that kept flickering across his face as he spoke about these horrifying events. That’s what got to me.

island needs helen Price Johnson

There seem to be a lot of reasons that drive people to run for political office. Sadly, these reasons often do not include any concern for the general well-being of Island County and its residents nor, in some cases, any under-standing of the responsibili-ties of the office for which they are running.

Some candidates run so they can represent the inter-ests of a few supporters who have a personal agenda they want implemented. Some candidates run because they like the attention. Some can-didates run because they love creating chaos out of order.

Yet sometimes a candidate shows up who truly wishes to serve the best interests of Island County, a candi-date who doesn’t have a per-sonal agenda. A candidate who will review and analyze each issue and proposal to determine its value to all Island County, not just a few special interests; a candidate who has proven herself a capable and conscientious manager and leader right here in Island County.

That candidate is Helen Price Johnson and she has been a truly dedicated and tireless public servant with-in the highest definition of the term. She worked many years on the South Whidbey School Board bringing reason and logic to an oft times difficult and adver-sarial environment. She has served Island County as a commissioner for the past four years representing all the people not just some of the special interests. She

has managed to reduce the county’s operating expenses within the current financial limitations and has made the tough decisions necessary to protect our critical water supplies. She has shown her-self to be a leader in tough times and to be able to make the tough decisions. And, like many of the rest of us, she also has raised a fam-ily, nurtured a marriage and managed a business, again, here in Island County. I urge all my neighbors and fellow community members to fol-low me in re-electing her to County Commissioner, District One. Island County needs people like Helen Price Johnson.

Navy man cancels subscription

I am active duty military serving overseas. I own prop-erty in Oak Harbor, and I have seen the comments by Caralyn Haglund that the Whidbey News-Times pub-lished. The approach that WNT has taken is unaccept-able. I have canceled sub-scriptions to WNT and I am urging the plethora of active duty Navy that serve with and for me to do the same. Contrary to Caralyn Haglund’s comments, I pay a significant amount of Island County and Oak Harbor spe-cific taxes. Supporting those comments are not selling newspapers for an establish-ment that is hanging by a thread.

Romney�sacrifices�all�for�ambition

A not so trivial quiz — Who said: 1) “Those who think we are powerless to do anything about the greenhouse effect forget about the White House effect; as president I intend to do something about it!”

2) “The science of cli-mate change is definitive as spelled out by many reports by the National Academy of Sciences. … In addition to reducing pollution, moving away from fossil fuels creates national security and econom-ic benefits.”

3) “The growing possibility of our destroying ourselves and the world with our own neglect and excess is tragic and very real.”

Apparently Mitt Romney will sacrifice everything to his ambition. Not only does he ignore the impacts of burn-ing fossil fuels but his energy plan calls for more burning. If you were informed that the bridge was out ahead would you speed up?

If 98 cardiologists tell you to stop smoking or there is a 90 percent certainty that you’ll die but you find two dentists who disagree, what would a reasonable person do? That is the consensus of opinion among the world’s cli-matologists and leading orga-nizations like the American Meteorological Society which recently said, “There is unequivocal evidence that Earth’s lower atmosphere, ocean and land surface are warming; sea level is rising; and snow cover, mountain glaciers and Arctic sea ice are shrinking. The dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities.” (AMS 8/20/12)

When he pits the dire impacts of climate change and environmental degrada-

tion against the “family” does he really believe families can flourish without enough food, potable water and resources on a increasingly overharvested world domi-nated by severe weather like we’ve seen the past several years and shared by an ever increasing world population now above 7 billion? Why does he choose to ignore the fact that an economy, based on fuels from Heaven versus fuels from Hell, has been shown in studies and prac-tice, to produce more jobs of higher quality and better pay then those from mining dan-gerous, obsolete fossil fuels. Or is it his blind ambition, which ignores facts and the necessity to evolve sustain-able solutions? It is past time to move from the fossil fuel age to a clean, sustainable future.

Quiz answers: 1) H. W. Bush, 1988; 2) John W. Rowe Chairman and Ceo, Exon Corp; 3) Billy Graham, evan-gelical.

homola an asset to island county

I moved to Whidbey Island in 1992. I had come yearly to teach workshops for the Coupeville Arts Center since the mid 1980s and fell in love with Whidbey. All of us who live here are aware of how lucky we are to have clean air and water, farmland and ocean vistas, low levels of crime and traffic congestion, and a constructive, involved, caring community. I have watched Island County gov-ernment wrestle with the con-flict between growth and con-servation, and I know there are no easy answers. While I would like to keep every free space from being devel-oped so that we all continue to enjoy every resource we currently enjoy, I know that is not possible.

For this reason, I am extremely grateful for the work that Angie Homola has done to balance economic and

environmental issues. In diffi-cult times, she has succeeded in achieving a balanced bud-get, increasing employment opportunities, and promoting energy and resource conser-vation.

Knowing that Angie has been on the Board of Commissioners has given me new optimism about the future of Island County. We need to keep her there.

Madelyn van der HoogtCoupeville

Resident�fan� of�Homola

I am a diehard Angie Homola fan. But this didn’t happen as a result of being inundated with a barrage of signs. It happened as a result of a comparison of the can-didates running for Island County Commisioner District 2.

What impressed me most — right after her effective work on the current Island County Board of Commissioners — is that Angie states her first priority is the need to “create local business and living-wage job opportunities.

Angie has already proven her ability to cope with and reduce the county budget in spite of the economic down-turn and the fact that the “Rainy Day” fund had already been decimated before she took office. Today, Island County has an upgraded bond rating, as well as a bal-anced budget. At the same time, Angie pays responsible attention to land use and development.

And what does her oppo-nent have to offer the commu-nity? More temper outbursts and no proven record of lead-ership? In today’s recessive economy and volatile world, I will vote for the candidate who has walked the walk — not just talked the talk. I will vote for Angie Homola for Island County Commissioner District 2. After you have made your own comparison of the candi-dates, I hope you will join me.

Two separate fundraisers to benefit the Coupeville pas-tor injured in a fall brought in more than $25,000 to help with expenses related to the accident and his recovery.

Garrett Arnold, the pastor of Living Hope Foursquare Church in Coupeville, suf-fered a spinal cord injury that will force him to use a wheelchair.

The Whidbey Island com-munity has rallied around Arnold and his family, hold-ing the first of two fundrais-ers Friday, Sept. 7 at the CPO Club in Oak Harbor.

“It was very successful. The community was very generous,” said Suzanne Zettle, treasurer and director of women’s ministries at the church. “The silent auction and dance raised $23,000. It is beyond awesome.”

Zettle said 200 tickets to the benefit dance and auc-tion sold out in a matter of days and businesses from all over Whidbey Island and even as far as Seattle donat-ed items for the auction.

Music was provided by Coupeville band Johnny Bulldog, led by John Tristao, a former member of the group Creedence Clearwater Revival.

The band even auctioned off another concert appear-ance to raise money.

“That band — their gener-osity is over the top,” Zettle said. “They rose to the occa-sion and poured their all into it.”

Other auction items included dinners at area res-taurants, entertainment and spa packages and “anything that you can think of,” Zettle said.

But the community’s gen-erosity didn’t end there. A

car wash held Saturday in the parking lot at Windermere Real Estate in Coupeville raised another $3,000 for the Arnold family.

“There was a line before the car wash even started,” said Shelli Trumbull of Cascade Insurance, who helped organize the event.

“We were washing three to four cars at a time — and that continued the entire time,” she said. “It was awe-some.”

Trumbull said there were at least 17 volunteers there at all times, although many stayed the entire day. She said generations of people have been touched by the Arnold family in one way or another and wanted to give back.

“The community really came out to support the Arnold family,” she said. “People donated what they could and some people were walking up to us handing us $100 bills. It was great.”

Windermere in Coupeville donated the water for the car wash — which in Coupeville is no small expense — and Coupeville Coffee and Bistro donated refreshments for the volunteers.

“People came out of the woodwork to help,” Trumbull said.

Zettle said the Arnold fam-ily is grateful for the support shown by so many people.

“The family is just over-whelmed with the outpour-ing of love from the com-munity,” she said. “It’s phe-nomenal.”

“We are completely over-whelmed and really blessed,” agreed Sarah Viers, Garrett Arnold’s sister-in-law, who is acting as a family spokes-person.

Arnold, who continues to recover at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, is

doing well, Viers said.“He is in the midst of

some really intense occupa-tional and physical therapy,” she said. “They work him to his maximum every day.”

While an exact date has not been set for Arnold’s homecoming, Viers said the family is hoping he will be allowed to return in early- to mid-autumn.

In the meantime, another fundraiser is being planned at Applebee’s restaurant in Oak Harbor on Wednesday, Sept. 19.

Also, prayer services at the church that began to pray for Arnold and his fam-ily will continue from 7 to 8 p.m. every Wednesday through September, accord-ing to Zettle, who said the scope of the service has changed.

“It’s grown from praying for healing and provision for the pastor and his family to anyone else who needed prayer,” she said.

“Several different church-es have been represented and we’re all coming togeth-er and praying for the needs of the community.”

Game of the week Oak Harbor holds its only home cross country meet of the season at 3:45 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at Windjammer Park.SPORTS

Whidbey

By JIM WALLERSports editor

About the only thing that could stop Lake Stevens was Lake Stevens.

The Vikings overcame four turn-overs to defeat the Oak Harbor foot-ball team 41-28 at Wildcat Memorial Stadium Friday.

Lake Stevens, which punted only once, rolled up over 500 yards of offense when it could hold onto the ball.

Oak Harbor had its own prob-lems, committing three turnovers and failing to convert on fourth down twice, but could not match the Vikings’ offensive output when given the chance.

The game featured two of the area’s top teams. After starting the season with two big nonleague wins over 4A teams, Oak Harbor moved into the state polls this week, sitting in the top-10 in at least three 3A rankings. Lake Stevens, now 2-1 (it lost to powerful Glacier Peak), is considered the favorite to win the Wesco 4A North division.

Both teams were inconsistent early. Lake Stevens had three turn-overs and a punt in its first five pos-sessions while the Wildcats began with two turnovers and three punts in its first six.

Lake Stevens scored in its sec-ond possession when Gavin O’Neal hit Conner Coleman on a 46-yard bomb.

As the offenses sputtered with inconsistency, the game remained 7-0 until Oak Harbor defensive line-

man Quinton Wallace intercepted a pass and returned it to the Lake 32 to set up the Wildcats’ first score, one 1-yard run by Fred Webster. Frank Grecco kicked the PAT.

The Vikings came right back and covered 62 yards in just over two minutes to take a 14-7 lead at the half.

Oak Harbor tied the score late in the third period when Webster rum-bled in from 11 yards. The drive was kept alive by a pass interference call on a fourth down play.

Three plays later, Lake Stevens regained the lead when Coleman took a pass over the middle, broke three tackles and raced 81 yards for a TD.

After the Wildcats came up a half yard short on a fake punt, Lake Stevens took over at the Wildcat 39 and marched in for a score and a 28-14 lead.

Oak Harbor responded. Quarterback Ian Kolste, who strug-gled early while missing on all seven of his first-half passes, which includ-ed two interceptions, came up big late. On fourth-and-22 he split two defenders as Andre Cumberbatch wrestled the DBs for the ball and came away with a 32-yard touch-down grab. Grecco’s kick cut the lead to seven, 28-21.

A 37-yard pass play and major penalty gave Lake Stevens the ball at the 6. Tthe Vikings scored on the next play to make it 35-21 with 5:13 left.

Hope for an Oak Harbor come-back slipped away when the Wildcats fumbled on their first play

after the Lake score. A 40-yard pass after the turnover set up the last Lake Stevens’ TD.

The Wildcats weren’t finished. Kolste hit JoJo Webster for gains of 19, 13 and 38 yards, the final com-pletion a lunging, finger-tip grab for a score as Webster kept his balance long enough to dive into the end zone.

Lake Stevens’ Tanner Krenz led all rushers with 119 yards on 10 carries. The Vikings rotated junior O’Neil and freshman Jacob Eason at quarterback, and the two finished a combined 12-for-25 for 273 yards.

Fred Webster had 73 yards on 19 carries for Oak Harbor. Kolste, with a strong second half, was 8-for-20 for 170 yards. JoJo Webster had six receptions for 103 yards.

(All statistics are unofficial.)Wildcat coach Jay Turner said,

“We knew they were physical; a good, well-coached team. This was a learning experience for us. The kids didn’t quit; they kept competing. We will look at the film and make some corrections.”

Oak Harbor (2-1) opens Wesco 3A North play at home with Everett (0-3) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Is there a silver lining in a 51-14 football loss?

Yes. All was not a mess in

Coupeville’s setback at Lynden Christian Friday.

First, the Wolves contin-ued to power the ball on the ground, chewing up almost 300 yards. Coach Tony Maggio said, “We rushed for a chunk again. We were jam-ming it down their throats; they couldn’t stop us.”

Unfortunetly, the Wolves found ways to stop them-selves, surrendering a touch-down off a blocked punt and two more on fumble returns.

Second, the Wolves didn’t fold after a tough start. Down 21-0, Coupeville pushed across a score just before half

and on its first possession of the third quarter to trim the gap to 21-14.

“The kids fought hard; they fought back,” Maggio said.

A that point, the Wolves lost four players to injuries, including their starting cen-ter, long snapper and leading rusher. With a new center the Wolves had trouble with the QB exchange, and it turned into “Turnover Central,” according to Maggio. Without its long snapper, Coupeville became more aggressive on fourth down and failed to convert several times.

Third, Coupeville had its best passing day of the young season. Gunnar Langvold was 8-for-22 for a season-high 81 yards.

Maggio said he knows his

team can run the ball and the coaching staff may sac-rifice success on the ground by focusing on the passing game. They cannot win con-sistently in the long run, he said, unless they can throw.

Things did not go well for Coupeville early. The Wolves came up short on a fourth-down play on their first pos-session. Moments later the Lyncs scored on a long pass play.

The next Coupeville pos-session ended with a block punt that LC returned for a touchdown, and just five minutes into the game the Wolves found themselves down 14-0.

Coupeville regrouped and steadily got back into the game. Langvold scored on a quarterback sneak just

before half. Then he added a 19-yard run for a score early in the third and the Wolves were right back in it.

The Lyncs countered with two long drives. The first ended with a TD and LC led 28-14.

On the second the Coupeville defense stiffened with a goal-line stand and a fourth down stop inside the 5-yard line early in the fourth quarter. That momentum was quickly lost when the Wolves fumbled on their first play and Lynden Christian recovered in the end zone for a score.

The Wolves (0-3) look to get into the win column when they meet Nooksack Valley (2-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Mickey Clark Field.

Not all bad in Wolves’ loss to LyncsIt was the “Hailey Hammer Show,” according to coach

Toni Crebbin, as Coupeville earned a 3-1 nonleague vol-leyball win at Port Townsend Saturday.

Hammer, a sophomore middle, ripped 18 kills and three aces against the Redskins, then helped the defense with two stuff blocks.

Crebbin said Hammer “did a good job” making adjust-ments reading Port Townsend blockers.

Hammer’s efforts helped lead the Wolves to the 21-25, 25-15, 25-15, 25-20 win.

Hammer wasn’t the only offensive weapon as Megan Oakes dished out 30 assists and Madeline Strasburg added seven kills.

Crebbin said, “It felt good to see us run our offense.”She added, “We ran a lot of quick stuff off free balls. It was

nice to see us execute what we worked on in practice.”Bessie Walstad paced the defense with 30 digs.After losing the first game, the Wolves dominated the

remainder of the match, Crebbin said.“Everyone played,” she said, “and helped pull out the

win.”Coupeville (0-3, 1-3) plays Archbishop Murphy (1-2, 1-3)

at home at 7 p.m. Thursday.

In a steady performance, the Oak Harbor High School volleyball team methodically put away visiting Arlington 3-0 Monday.

The Wildcats never trailed in the 25-17, 25-16, 25-18 win over the Eagles (1-4).

Oak Harbor (2-2) now faces one more 4A foe before starting Wesco 3A North action next week. Thursday, 3-1 Lake Stevens comes to Oak Harbor at 7 p.m.

In game one against Arlington, two aces and a kill by Roshel Muzzall helped Oak Harbor spurt to a 7-1 lead.

In the second set, the two teams were tied at 8, then with a 16-12 lead, Clair Anderson chipped in with an ace and kill to spur a 5-0 run that put the game away.

Oak Harbor raced to a 14-5 lead in game three before the Eagles narrowed the gap to 17-14. The Wildcats scored six straight points behind two aces and two kills by Kayleigh Harper to regain control.

Muzzall finished with eight kills, 11 digs and three aces; Harper eight kills and 10 digs; Taylor Nienhuis 28 assists; and Stephanie Milliron seven digs.

Oak Harbor displayed its

depth as coach Kerri Molitor started a different lineup in each game and used her entire squad throughout the match. Nine different players recorded kills.

Molitor liked the team’s flexibility and continuity of play despite the lineup shuf-fling.

She admitted it is tough for the players to get com-fortable when there is no set lineup and it can hamper each player’s confidence.

“That’s what we are work-ing on, trying to build confi-dence,” Molitor said. “We are starting to jell.”

Late�goal�sinks�WolvesPort Townsend scored very early and

very late to pull out a 2-1 soccer win over visiting Coupeville Saturday.

The Redskins converted just three min-utes into the match, and that goal stood up until Coupeville freshman Makana Stone tied it up 15 minutes into the sec-ond half.

Stone’s goal was Coupeville’s first this season in four matches.

Port Townsend squeaked in a goal with only two minutes left to earn the win.

Coupeville coach Dan d’Almeida said his club, which was missing four starters, “was really undermanned” and “missing its front line.”

He added, “However, the young players played well and I am pretty happy with our play.”

The Wolves travel to Sultan (1-3) for a 7 p.m. match Thursday.

Wildcat�swimmers�now�5-0The Oak Harbor swim team upped its

record to 5-0 with a sweep of the visiting Snohomish schools Monday.

The Wildcats drubbed both, topping Snohomish 104-66 and Glacier Peak 118-52.

The Wildcats picked up two state quali-fying times when Emily Huffer won the 50-meter freestyle (28.04) and 100 back-stroke (1:06.63).

Huffer, Akasha Trisler, Marissa Morris and Irysh Concepcion won the 200 free relay in 1:59.16; Trisler the 100 breast in 1:21.48; and Morris the 400 free in 4:54.86.

Oak Harbor collected seven seconds: Trisler, 200 IM, 2:40.21; Concepcion, 50 free, 29.58, 100 free, 1:05.35; Lauren Vagt, 100 fly, 1:14.91; Hannah Schroeder, 400 free, 5:10.88; 200 medley relay, Huffer, Trisler, Vagt, Concepcion, 2:12.7; 400 free relay, Morris, Mollie Briddell, Vagt, Ther-ese Desquitado, 4:39.58.

Wildcat wins came in fourth singles from Harrison Miller (6-4, 6-3) and third doubles from Tom Dale and Jacob Nelson (2-6, 7-6[6], [10-6]). Dale and Nelson played a super tie breaker instead of a third set because the team outcome of the match had already been decided.

Mells said, “Mount Vernon has a very good tennis team…We played them well, and players are finally implementing what’s being taught during practices.”

While manning the North Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association’s booth at Oak Harbor’s National Night Out in August, John Hellmann asked two teenaged girls what they would do if the child they were babysitting came out of the parents’ bedroom carrying a gun.

“One was dumbfounded,” Hellmann said. “We feel like there are enough firearms in our society that people should feel safe enough to handle one, even if they don’t own one.”

NWSA will offer monthly fire-arm safety classes by National Rifle Association certified instructors. Classes cost $25 for shooting classes and $20 for non-shooting classes and include a book.

The first class will run Friday, Sept. 28 and Saturday, Sept. 29, with others following monthly.

Classes include NRA First Steps Pistol Orientation, which includes shooting and will be offered by request. New firearm owners are encouraged to take this “first step” of obtaining training in this hands-on introduction to the safe handling of a pistol.

NRA Home Firearms Safety pres-ents the basic knowledge and skills for safe handling and storing of guns in the home; this is a non-firing course.

NRA Basic Pistol Shooting intro-duces students to the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for owning and using a pistol safely. Students will learn about pistol parts, ammunition, safety and more,

and the course includes shooting at the range.

“We just feel there’s an awful lot of interest out there, especially with recent things happening around the country,” said Hellmann, NWSA training coordinator and NRA certi-fied instructor.

The classes are meant to be a community service, Hellmann said. While he said he’d prefer that the association didn’t have to charge people to attend, they tried to keep the prices down. The association strives to be active in the commu-nity. One example is by purchas-ing lumber for Boy Scouts to make targets, which they sell back to the association for $5 each.

NWSA has been asked to do these classes for a long time, Hellmann said, but only recently was the asso-ciation able to pay NRA staff to edu-cate local instructors so they could become NRA certified.

NWSA was established in 1937 and moved to its current location at 886 Gun Club Road in Oak Harbor in 1944. The association encourages membership with monthly family potlucks in the clubhouse, a room adorned with antlers and sporting a number of trophy plaques. More than 300 members take part in asso-ciation activities and Hellmann said there’s someone out shooting nearly every day.

“The club in general just has kind of a family feel about it. People are open to welcoming new members and doing some teaching… There’s a very nice sense of camaraderie,” Hellmann said.

Surrounded by forest, the associa-tion’s property features an archery

range, rifle range, two trap ranges and two pistol bays. Oak Harbor police and Navy employees train there because the areas are more realistic, Hellmann said.

Hellmann, Navy retired and now a self-employed computer repairman, shoots at the range often. As he practiced a few rounds with his .22 pistol, he recalled his time on the Atlantic Fleet Pistol Team in 1984, a competitive Navy shooting team.

“I got to shoot at Uncle Sam’s expense,” Hellmann said. “All in all very neat. It was a lot of fun.”

Hellmann’s days of teaching pistol shooting began in the early 1980s. He wanted to participate in intra-mural shooting on the Navy base in Maryland and asked the team to save him a space for the upcom-ing captain’s cup competition. They didn’t save him a place, but that didn’t stop Hellmann.

“I went out and found seven peo-ple who had never shot before or had hardly shot,” Hellmann said. And that was just the way he wanted it because that meant they hadn’t been practicing the same mistakes for years. Hellmann taught them the correct way to shoot from the begin-ning and they won the competition.

“My non-shooting team beat them all,” Hellmann said.

While safety always comes first with shooting, Hellmann empha-sized that recreational shooting should be fun.

“You should enjoy what you’re doing,” Hellmann said.

When Hillcrest Elementary School students started school Sept. 6, fel-low students weren’t the only new faces at the school. A new principal, Paula Seaman, greeted students and staff, all smiles as she directed kids to their classrooms and asked how teachers’ summer vaca-tions went.

“It’s just a wonderful place to work!” Seaman exclaimed, her high energy, personable disposition obvious as she pointed out the flowering courtyard cleared by Navy personnel over the summer and the new flooring installed in hallways and classrooms.

This is Seaman’s ninth year working for the Oak Harbor School District. She worked at Crescent Harbor Elementary School as a Title I teacher for six years, then worked as an administrator at Broad View Elementary School for one year. Last year, she acted as project manager for the Department of Defense grant to improve literacy skills at the elemen-

tary level. She spent some of that time working as a literacy coach at Hillcrest Elementary School.

Becoming a principal has been on Seaman’s mind for years. The position at Hillcrest opened up after Laura Schonberg, the princi-pal for four years, requested a transfer to become assistant principal at North Whidbey Middle School. She wanted to return to the challenges found at the secondary level in a position similar to the one she’d held before com-ing to Oak Harbor, according to Joe Hunt, school district communications director.

“The opportunity came up at the right time for me and I wanted to stay in this com-munity,” Seaman said, adding that she loves Oak Harbor and its Navy presence.

Hillcrest has 603 stu-dents enrolled this year and Seaman said the school will give them a wonderful edu-cation.

“The staff is absolutely amazing. They’re very focused on children. It’s just a great place for kids and

everybody is so focused on what’s important,” Seaman said.

Her focus as principal this year will be on differentiated instruction, a model that emphasizes giving students instruction in the areas indi-vidually needed, and sup-porting teachers and staff so that everyone works togeth-er better.

“We’re all going to move forward together,” Seaman said.

She also plans to educate the community about the levy to ensure it will pass.

“I’ll make sure the com-munity knows how impor-tant it is,” Seaman said.

The excitement of the first day of school continued for Seaman even as children entered their classrooms.

“It feels like home,” she said. “It’s just a great place to be. I love coming to work everyday. I get up in the morning and look forward to coming to work.

“Hillcrest is unstoppable this year!”

Hillcrest Elementary School welcomes new principal

Rebecca�Olson�/�Whidbey�News-Times

Paula Seaman, new principal at Hillcrest Elementary School, takes a moment to greet second-grade student Shawn Owens on the first day of school.

The Whidbey Sounders Toastmasters Club held its biannual speech contest on Tuesday, Aug. 25 at San Remos restaurant.

This was the third con-test the club has held since the founding of the club in 2010 and it was the best competition to date, accord-ing to a club press release.

There were three con-testants in the humorous speech contest and four contestants in the table top-ics contest.

“Our club is very proud to recognize James Jolly as the double winner. James won first place in the humorous speech contest and then followed that up by taking first place in the table topics contest,” said Reid Schwartz, public rela-tions, in a press release.

Jolly will move on to com-pete at the Toastmasters Area 12 speech contest on Sept. 22 where he will face challengers from Toastmasters clubs from Anacortes, Mount Vernon and Burlington.

Jolly retired after 30 years in the Navy and is

employed with Skagit Valley College as a pro-gram coordinator as well as serving as VP Education of the Whidbey Sounders.

Toastmasters meets at San Remos on the second, fourth and fifth Tuesdays of each month from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The public is wel-come.

“Every meeting is fun and interesting, you see the three prepared speeches given at each meeting are

about a topic of the speak-ers choice and most often something they are pas-sionate about. Most people would rather die than get up in front of a group and speak. We work together to become better and more comfortable public speak-ers and leaders in our com-munity,” Schwartz said.

For more informa-tion, visit www.whidbey sounders.org.

James Jolly won first place in two speech contests, thanks to what he learned through the Whidbey Sounders Toastmasters Club.

Nonprofit organizations can find fundraising oppor-tunities at the Whidbey Playhouse while assisting their local theater by pur-chasing a buy-out for the Playhouse.

The cost of the house and production is $900 for a non-musical and $1,100 for a musical. A deposit of $250 is required to hold the space requested and must be paid within two weeks of confir-mation by the Playhouse. There are 128 seats available for each show. The organiza-tion sells tickets for whatever price it wants above what it paid the Playhouse.

Requests for specific shows will be honored in the order in which they are received.

Available shows for 2012-2013 are:

“Fruitcakes,” the holi-day special, will run Nov. 30 through Dec. 22 and is directed by Anita Rich. Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, three dozen Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor Christmas lights, a chicken pox epidem-ic, two southern spinsters, an estranged old man, a lost cat named Tutti Frutti and a Christmas hog named Buster

and you’ve got the recipe for a fun and touching evening filled with holiday cheer. Into this world comes Jamie, a kid who has run away from home and come as far as his money will take him. At first he thinks this town’s inhabit-ants are “nuttier than fruit-cakes,” but soon he comes to admire, appreciate and adore the nutty town. A mov-ing story of alienation, under-standing and reconciliation, “Fruitcakes” provides audi-ences with a heaping helping of holiday warmth.

“It Runs in the Family,” a comedy directed by Bob Hendrix, runs Feb. 1 through 17. Set in a hospital, this British comedy contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex-wife, a punkish daughter and other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver a lecture in an international conference.

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” by Shakespeare and directed by Stephen Anderson, runs April 26 through May 19. “A Midsummer Night’s

Dream” portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fair-ies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. This is the Playhouse’s first venture into Shakespeare as he wrote it.

“Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class,” a Nunsense musical, stars Sue Riney accompanied by Gaye Litka and runs June 14 through 30. In this newest of the smash-hit Nunsense musicals, Brooklyn born and street smart Sister Robert Anne storms onto the stage, clicker and note cards in hand, to teach her students — the audience — how to put together a cabaret act, mixing monologue with a celebration of songs from the Nunsense series while reminiscing about her past juvenile delin-quent behavior and salvation at a strict Catholic school.

By MARIBETH CRANDELLSpecial to the News-Times

The city of Oak Harbor revived its Adopt-A-Street Program with 25 designated streets within city limits. Picking up litter along the road isn’t what some people think of as a good time. If people show interest it is usually for a one time event like Earth Day or clean up the fireworks after July 4. Still, I was hoping I could generate some interest while staffing the city information table at the Oak Harbor Public Market.

After noticing my display, a man approached me to offer his volunteer services. He came in the next week

to sign the papers and get started. He’s not with a club, business group or church. He doesn’t need to earn community service hours. He and his wife do this out of the goodness of their hearts and they’ve been doing it for years near Dugualla Bay as part of the State Adopt-A-Highway Program.

Norvin Stanley and his wife Eileen Ryan are the best kind of volunteers to sign up for a new program like this. They came with experi-ence, made helpful sugges-tions and best of all they’re undaunted by the paperwork needed to get started. We have registration forms, safety information, release

and consent forms — the stack could be intimidating. But Stanley and Ryan sailed through the forms, anxious to begin. They “adopted” two streets and even asked to extend one of them.

Stanley and Ryan are active. They walk regularly and stay in shape. At a walk-ing pace they couldn’t help but notice the unsightly litter, especially on the desig-nated streets in the program. They chose to adopt streets close to home. Stanley recently retired so has more time to give to the program. As the first to actually go out and do a street clean up, they won two donated tickets to the Whidbey Playhouse production of “Murder at the Howard Johnsons.”

Much like the state pro-gram, the city program asks for a two-year commitment of cleaning up designated streets at least four times a year. These veterans didn’t hesitate. The city provides Adopt-A-Street kits for check-out before the clean-up. The kit includes caution signs, gloves, hats, bright vests, lit-ter grabbing sticks and bags. Safety is the highest priority and participants are asked to watch a safety video online before they start. If teams find hazardous materials or items too heavy to move, they can report the location

of such items to the solid waste crew for pick up. After the clean-up, the bags will be collected by the city crew and disposed of properly. Participants must be at least 15 years old and have ade-quate adult supervision.

I met Ryan and Stanley on their first day at work pick-ing up litter on Barrington Drive behind Walmart. They had no trouble filling six garbage bags and dragged a half sheet of plywood and some two by fours out of the tall grass. They want to request that businesses like Wallmart, Safeway or the fast food restaurants in town

keep litter picked up in their own parking lots. That way less would blow out onto the street.

I asked if they had any advice for others considering “adoption.”

“You don’t need a group. It doesn’t take much time,” Stanley said.

Ryan added, “Just do it.”As she was picking up

other people’s litter, Ryan said she thinks about what she’d say if she could speak to them directly. “I know where you live. I know what you eat and what you drink. I know what kind of car you drive and what you’re teach-

ing your kids.”When asked what moti-

vates them, “It doesn’t pay much,” Stanley said with a grin, then added, “Civic pride.”

Ryan agreed. “Oak Harbor is never going to become anything unless people care. We care.”

More information is avail-able at www.oakharbor.org under “links” or call 279-4762.

Maribeth Crandell is Oak Harbor’s environmental edu-cator.

Oak Harbor streets are up for adoption

Eileen Ryan and Norvin Stanley are hard at work cleaning up other people’s litter in order to better their hometown. Streets are still available for adoption.

Robert and Martha Seppi will celebrate their 50th anniversa-ry on Oct. 5, 2012. They met while they were both stationed at Naval Station Norfolk and married in Elizabeth City, N.C. in 1962. They have lived in Oak Harbor for the last 42 years. Robert retired from the Navy in 1974 and the Navy Exchange in 1996. Martha chose to leave the Navy short-ly after they married. She became a homemaker and mother to their three daugh-ters and worked for a few years at the Navy Exchange. They are the parents of Bobbi, Jodi and Sharon and the proud grandparents of Chantal, Zac, Jordan, Brady, Hunter, Shanyn, Daryl and Ian and recently became great-grandparents to Avery.

SEPPiS cELEBRATE 50 YEARS ToGEThER

Eileen Ryan and Norvin Stanley adopted two streets and pledged to clean up litter there. “Oak Harbor is never going to become anything unless people care. We care,” Ryan said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County kicks off its annual fundraiser “Mayor of Whidbey Island.”

Your cat has shown to be the leader of the household. It’s time to nominate your pet to be the newest Mayor of Whidbey Island for 2013.

Mayor of Whidbey polls are now open. The polls will remain open until the official election day Nov. 6.

Once a pet has been nom-inated, he/she will have the chance to gain votes online for $1 per vote during the race. Last year, a total of 1,448 votes were cast, 30 percent of which went to Ziggy, the popular and lov-able corgi from Oak Harbor.

“Mayor of Whidbey is a fun way to bring the whole community together in support of a positive future for our kids,” said Peggy Dyer, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County. “Every dol-lar raised through Mayor

of Whidbey directly funds our mentoring programs in Island County and helps to maintain and sustain our mentoring relationships, increasing kids’ chances for success.”

To nominate a pet, take the first step and get started making an impact in the community, visit bbbsislandcounty.org or call 360-279-0644 for more infor-mation.

Pets line up for mayoral election

Ziggy Jones won last year’s Mayor of Whidbey Island election.

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.
