Anti-OLF group claiming public records victory
By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
A Central Whidbey community group that formed last year in opposition to jet-noise at Outlying Field Coupeville is ramping up its efforts to curb flights at the practice airstrip. Ken Pickard, a founding member of the Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe, Peaceful, Environment,
confirmed Friday that the group has an attorney and has been busy in recent months preparing for legal action. “I’ve never felt this frustrated,” Pickard said. He declined to elaborate on the group’s long-term goals but said it’s immediate plans are to reopen a 2005 Environmental Assessment on the Navy’s transition from See pickard, A5
Committee expansion proposal baffles some By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Christon Skinner testifies on a proposal to increase the size of the group’s membership.
A proposal by Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley to change the makeup of the Marina Advisory Committee is taking on water fast and may sink under the weight of an unswayed City Council. “I haven’t heard any compelling reason to change the formula,” Councilman Rick Almberg said. Last month, Dudley proposed increasing the size of the group from five to seven
members saying he hoped it might bolster input and effectiveness. The idea received a lukewarm response at best and didn’t fair much better in a followup discussion Tuesday evening at Oak Harbor City Hall. Following on comments from committee members, Councilman Joel Servatius said he also doesn’t believe an increase in members is warranted. See Marina, A8
In one of his final acts as Island County’s planning chief, Bob Pederson ordered Commissioner Kelly Emerson to pay $37,000 in fines or face action. In a second supplemental enforcement order signed March 28, Pederson gave the commissioner, his former boss, and her husband, Ken Emerson, a tight deadline of 14 days to pay the fines. “If you fail to pay this fine and civil penalty, Island County will initiate the process to file a lien against the subject property,” the enforcement order said. The order added that the Island County Planning Department “may institute any appropriate action to collect the civil penalty,” including prosecution under provisions of county code. Pederson simultaneously denied the Emersons’ application for a building permit. The decision, according to the order, was based on grounds that not enough information was submitted to complete the application. Pederson submitted his resignation last month stating he wants to pursue other interests. His last day on the job was March 29. Emerson said this week that she was “thankful” action was finally been taken, maintaining as she has for some time that the
Johnson
Price-Johnson
next steps, and resolution, were in Pederson’s hands. “We’ve been waiting for over two years now,” Emerson said. It was during a highlycharged 2010 campaign battle with her predecessor that planning department officials learned the Emersons were building a patio without first obtaining a permit. The Emersons live on Camano Island. Planning department officers issued a stop-work order in a visit to the property. There, officials said they found evidence of a wetland, which makes acquiring a building permit more onerous because it adds critical areas requirements. Over the past two years, the hot-button issue was fought in court – the Emersons sued Island County, Pederson and Dean – wetland studies were performed and contested by local, state and private experts, and the issue was a source of heated public debate. With a decision made, however, the next steps are relatively straight forward, according to Justin Kasting, a special deputy prosecutor with Snohomish County. Specializing in land-use See FINED, A8

Twins premier film at OHHS By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Movie-making twins talked with Oak Harbor High School students this past week about the process of making a feature film. Jemily and Jeremy Jayme spent the better part of two years making a one-hour long film titled, “Imagination Thief.” The identical twins told the students what went into conceptualizing, designing, scouting and filming their feature. Whidbey Island residents viewed the film during its premier Friday in Oak Harbor High School’s Student Union Building. “Imagination Thief” is about a man who has the unusual ability to duplicate the talents of other people. In the process, the character discovers a darker side of such talents, explained Jeremy. The concept started out as one of a 100 ideas the siblings brainstormed while they were attending the University of Washington, Bothell. Just before graduating in 2011 with degrees in media and communication, they started developing ideas for their movie. Being introverted, creating a movie ‚Äî which involves directing actors ‚Äî proved to be challenging, according to the duo. “It was a very good learning experience, Jemily told the high school students. The Jaymes were joined by fellow Oak Harbor graduate Jeff Opdyke and Rolando Harris, who were on hand to share their insights about filmmaking. The filmmakers explained various aspects of the production process during the nearly
hour-long class. They touched on topics such as developing an idea, creating storyboards and the challenges they encountered during the filming of “Imagination Thief.” As an example of the challenges, they were preparing to film a scene in a home where one of the cast members lived. Unfortunately the home flooded and that left the twins scrambling to find an alternate location while still keeping their schedule. Friday’s viewing at Oak Harbor High School marked the first time the public has viewed “Imagination Thief.” Jemily and Jeremy said they are scheduling several showings of their film at the historic Everett Theatre. Dates aren’t yet set, but will be held in July. They applied to enter “Imagination Thief” in the Seattle International Film Festival and Seattle True Independent Film Festival. They haven’t yet learned if their film was accepted. Meanwhile, the Jaymes are busy working on other projects. Jemily and Jeremy started their own business, Dead Ringer Productions, where they complete their freelance work as artists. They said they are planning to produce a graphic novel. They also visit Oak Harbor High School’s video production class, is taught by Chris Douthitt, every year. They remarked that their experiences in high school focused on the process of producing films. In 2012, Jemily and Jeremy even helped students film “Thrill the Island,” which was an island-wide project remaking a Michael Jackson video.

Wildcat alumnus perishes in wrong-way collision By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
A tight-knit group of Oak Harbor High School alumni are reeling this week after learning one of their former classmates was killed in a car crash Thursday morning on State Highway 520 in Seattle. Morgan Fick Williams, 58, was driving a Mazda Protege east near the Montlake Boulevard exit when a Ford Explorer being driven the wrong way on the highway collided with her. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle where she later died. Williams was a 1973 graduate of Oak Harbor High School where she served as student body president. She still kept up with a group of classmates long after she graduated from high school. “Morgan always maintained her friendships in Oak Harbor. She never left the class,” said Mark Funk, who graduated with Williams. He noted that Williams, who often rode the bus to work, drove from her Seattle home to her job at Eddie Bauer Thursday morning. She was planning to visit a former high school classmate who is in a hospice in Bellingham. Pamela Marriott, who has known Williams since they were third-graders, was going to join her Thursday to visit their classmate. Plans changed once she, along with everyone else close to Williams, learned of the crash. “It’s been horrible to say the least,” Marriott said Friday morning. Marriott, Williams and others were planning the 40th reunion for the class of 1973. Marriott was a classmate of Williams at the former Clover Valley Elementary School and attended Oak Harbor High School when is was located on State Highway 20. They served on student council together. She noted Williams eventually married the man who served as vice president. Williams and her husband had two children and remained close even after they divorced. Williams graduated from the University of Washington with an accounting degree and spent more than 30 years working at Eddie Bauer. She was living in North Seattle at the time of the accident. Marriott said Williams had a “world view” and had recently enjoyed trips to Morrocco and Turkey with a group of friends.

The Kennewick was taken out of service for several hours Friday while repairs were made to the Kwa-di Tabil class ferry. Without any ferry service across Admiralty Inlet, motorists were left with a lengthy journey to and from the Olympic Peninsula. They had to take ferries at Mukilteo/Clinton and Edmonds/Kingston to make the trip around.

Morgan Fick Williams, a 1973 Oak Harbor High School graduate, perished in a car crash Thursday morning when an SUV headed the wrong way on Highway 520 in Seattle collided with her car. “She had a big soul,” Marriott said. The Washington State Patrol is investigating the car crash. Trooper George Englebright said it’s not clear how the Ford Explorer, driven by 25-year-old Tacoma resident Michael Anthony Robertson, ended up driving the wrong way on Highway 520. He could have either entered from an exit ramp, but he may have made a U-turn on the busy highway. Robertson was also transported to Harborview, where he was treated for a leg injury. He admitted to troopers that he had been drinking and, as of Friday morning, he is facing a charge of vehicular homicide, Englebright said. Funeral arrangements for Williams weren’t available as of press time. Please check a future edition of the Whidbey News-Times.
Pt. Townsend-Coupeville ferry knocked out of service Friday By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
The Port TownsendCoupeville ferry was out of service for much of Friday while repairs were being made to the Kennewick. A steering alarm sounded on the Kwa-di Tabil class ferry for some time, Marta Coursey, spokeswoman for the Washington State Department of Transportation’s Ferries Division, said in an email. She said electricians and engine room staff worked on the problem while the ferry was tied up at Port Townsend. The issue related to the bow handles on the Kennewick, which would have affected the maneuverability of the vessel. At press time, she said the United States Coast
Guard had cleared the ferry to return to service, and service was expected to resume no later than the 2:15 p.m. sailing from Port Townsend. Ferry service on the route, which normally operates on a reservation system, was offered on a first-come, first-served basis throughout Friday. Ferry officials also looked at activating the Salish in case it must be put into service in place of the Kennewick. The Salish is currently located at the ferry system’s maintenance facility at Eagle Harbor. Coursey said replacement is standard procedure whenever there is a service disruption. “Our senior port captains, senior port engineers, dis-
patch operators, communications and senior management evaluate the situation and devise an operating plan based on the system and customer needs, and a real time assessment of the repair issue,” Coursey said in an email. Washington State Ferries has three vessels capable of navigating the difficult entry into Keystone Harbor on Central Whidbey — the Salish, Kennewick and Chetzemoka, which is currently serving the Point Defiance-Talequah ferry route. With the run across Admiralty Inlet out of service, motorists were left with the lengthy journey of taking the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry and the Edmonds-Kingston ferry to travel to and from

Navy prepares for 2013 marathon For the safety of runners participating in the 2013 Whidbey Island Marathon and Half Marathon, NAS Whidbey traffic on the Seaplane Base will limited Sunday, April 14. More than 1,500 runners and walkers are expected. Race organizers expect runners to arrive on base at 8:30 a.m. with normal traffic flow resuming shortly after 1:30 p.m. The route enters the Crescent Harbor Housing area at Forest Drive, then turning left on Forest Lane, then a right on Western Drive and then a final right onto Larch Drive.
From Larch Drive, runners enter the base at the Solomon Gate – between Crescent Harbor Housing and the Penfold Pond – and continue down Solomon Road to turn right on East Pioneer Way. From there, runners will continue down E. Pioneer Way crossing over Torpedo Road and exiting the base at Gate 2, adjacent to PBY Museum. Once off the Seaplane Base, runners will cross over Pioneer Way to the Whidbey Island Yacht Club then continue down the oncoming lane towards City Beach.
Traffic will be limited to inbound and outbound vehicles through Torpedo Gate and Maui Gate will be secured until the marathon is over. Personnel departing the Seaplane Base during this time should use extreme caution when encountering Torpedo and East Pioneer Way intersection. Residents living in Saratoga Heights, Victory Park, and Rockhill Terrace housing areas that exit onto Regatta Drive will be restricted to “right turn only” traffic revisions on both Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14, from 8 to 9:30 a.m. to accommodate marathon participants. Access to Western Drive and Larch Drive in Crescent Harbor Housing will be limited to residents only on Sunday, April 14.

Standing committee suspended By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Oak Harbor City Council is suspending its regular scheduled standing committee meetings for the next three months. Instead, the council will hold monthly workshops to discuss emerging issues, works in progress and pending action items. The decision was approved by unanimous vote during Tuesday’s regular council meeting. The workshops are scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. April 24 and May 22, both Wednesdays, and June 18, a Tuesday. The meetings will be held at City Hall, 865 S.E. Barrington Dr. The temporary suspension is meant as a trial to determine if workshops might be
more effective and encourage greater public participation than the existing format. The city’s four standing committees — Public Works and Utilities, Government Services, Public Safety and Finance — meet on different days at City Hall. “I’m happy to see this coming forward to try out,” said Councilman Bob Severns. Councilman Joel Servatius echoed Severns’ support, though he encouraged members of the public to weigh in on the effectiveness of the temporary change. Standing committees used to meet at different times and different locations, but that was changed last year to encourage citizen participation. Servatius said he believes the workshops format will be more efficient, but it will be important to determine if the new format is better or worse for the public.
Coupeville market season starts Coupeville Farmers Market kicks off its market season today. It is the 35th consecutive year for the market, said Peg Tennant, market manager. The market is held every Saturday through mid October, with the exception of Aug. 10. Markets run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Community Green behind the Coupeville library. As one of the longest running markets in one of the oldest towns in Washington state, the Coupeville Farmers Market continues to be a reliable source of farm fresh produce, locally made baked goods, soaps, lotions, teas,
handmade crafts, unique art, and ready to eat hot food, Tennant said. Last year the market averaged 49 vendors each week. Tennant said she expects about the same this season. Many of last year’s vendors have already signed on including 5 Acre Farm, Hot Rock Pizza and Brett’s Breads. A new bakery, Coyote Bakery will join the market with a naturally leavened sour dough. 5 Acre Farm will be returning with other local farms in June. Two regular vendors, however, passed away during the off season.
Pete Pescador from Pescado Farms, passed away in January and Lois Clauson from Nana’s Closet passed away in November. There will be opportunity for customers and friends to add to the messages of love and support to Pescador’s widow Kathy and his family, Tennant said. Customers and friends who like to be “in the know” can go to the market’s Facebook page for the latest in news and crop readiness information. The market is also working on a website, which should be up and running soon, Tennant said.

Audubon member keeps beloved bird-killer on tight leash By Jim Larsen for the Whidbey News-Times
As a bird lover and cat lover who’s allergic to cats, Linda Bainbridge must make some unusual adjustments in her life. The dedicated Whidbey Audubon Society member hates what cats do best — kill birds and small mammals — but loves the furry little killers anyway. With help from husband, Gordon, she takes special precautions to protect her beloved birds from her equally beloved cats. Of her two cats, a male stray who happened upon their property several years is the most enthusiastic killer. Percy will boldly stare down a deer until it runs off and chases after anything smaller. Once, Gordon Bainbridge watched Perry stalk a rabbit in the herb garden at their home near Honeymoon Lake, assuming the rabbit was too big to be serious prey. Wrong. “Perry caught that rabbit in 10 bounds.” Another time a low-flying bird made the mistake of passing over Percy. “He jumped up and grabbed that bird like a center fielder,” he said.
Birds and rabbits are much safer now on the Bainbridges’ five acres, but mice are still at risk. “Yesterday he caught two,” Gordon said. “He ate one. I try to limit him.” Every morning Gordon and Linda walk their two cats, the other being Isabel, attached by harness and leash. Gordon reads books on the long, 45-minute walks, while Linda is more likely to keep a sharp eye on the cat she’s walking. “I’ve read 17 or 18 books the last year and a half. It’s amazing how many books you can read while walking a cat,” Gordon said. Linda listens with acceptance, although she’d prefer that Gordon keep his eyes squarely on Percy or Isbel rather than in the pages of a book. Besides letting the cats outdoors only when on a leash, the Bainbridges have done some imaginative remodeling to appease the cats’ desire to be outdoors. In Linda’s office is a carpeted cat staircase; hopping from one level to another, the cat can enter a hole in the wall about two feet below the ceiling. From there, a catwalk surrounded by wire snakes its way outside the house, above a sidewalk and along a garage until it opens into a pen. The cats walk down a steeply declined plank and are free to roam around a spacious
outdoor cage, covered with netting so birds can’t provide temptation. Linda went to all this effort because she’s read up on cats, both feral and domestic, and how many birds they kill. It’s more than a billion, perhaps 4 billion, in the United States alone, in addition to billions more small mammals, like mice and shrews. “They’re non-native invasive predators,” is how she coolly describes her beloved pets. “They just kill, and it’s not just to eat. That’s all they try to do, even on a leash.” She’s working on starting a group she calls “Cats Indoors,” to educate islanders to keep their cats inside. None of the myths about how to protect birds from cats are true, she said. Belled cats kill birds, declawed cats kill birds and well-fed cats kill birds. Protective cat “bibs” don’t work either, as she’s tried them. Additionally, birds that escape the grasp of a cat aren’t necessarily lucky. “A bird is more likely to survive a bullet than an infection from a cat’s teeth or claws,” she said. When expressing such alarming thoughts, she thinks nothing of reaching out to stroke Isabel and express the wish she were more
of a “lap cat,” which she was hoping for when she picked it out at WAIF. “I love my cats obsessively,” she said. “But my cats are killers.” Her yard is a veritable picnic spread for cats, and even on a leash they’re dangerous if not watched closely. “They were able to catch and kill Douglas squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, song sparrows, dark-eyed juncos, a spotted towhee, a robin, a Bewick’s wren, a northern flicker and a golden-crowned kinglet,” she said, adding that all the animals mentioned met their demise when the cats were in their open pen or on a leash with her standing only a few feet away. The pen was made more secure and now she’s ever watchful when walking them, unlike Gordon, who likes books too much to just watch a cat. Still, he keeps Percy and Isabel’s killer instincts in check. Linda’s simple message is that the only way to own a cat and protect wildlife is to keep the cat indoors and walk it on a leash. And she has proof that she’s a cat lover despite their inborn desire for the thrill of a kill. “I am very allergic to cats and am in my second year of allergy shots. I obviously love my cats,” she said.
PICKARD CONTINUED FROM A1 the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler aircraft with a challenge in U.S. District Court. By reopening the assessment, new factual data could be considered and ultimately result in the Navy having to conduct a full environmental impact statement. The group, which Pickard said is comprised of a board of directors and has about 100 at-large members, is in the process of hiring a auditory engineer to gather decibel information for the case. Paula Spina, a group board member and owner of the historic Crockett Farm, claims the Growler is louder than its predecessor and has a real impact on the health of people who live under the flight path. The hope is that auditory proof of decibel levels and a subsequent environmental impact statement by the Navy will ultimately lead to change, she said. “Once the public sees the true impact on the community, there is persuasive power that will show it’s not appropriate here,” Spina said. “It’s not safe.” The group’s attorney, David Mann of the Seattle-based law firm Gendler & Mann, has also been busy in recent months acquiring information about the base’s electronic attack jets. In December, Mann submitted a massive public records request under the Freedom of Information Act, asking for everything from information about the planned transition between the two aircraft — the Growler is replacing the Prowler — and noise studies to the number of jets at the airbase and the number of touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field. Three weeks later, a staff judge advocate for the Navy, Lt. Cmdr. D.E. Rieke, sent Mann a letter stating that the request was “unperfected” and that the 20-day statutory time frame had not yet started. A revised records request was submitted, but when another 20 days had passed with no response, Mann filed an administrative
appeal with the Navy’s Office of the General Counsel in Washington, D.C. “I write on behalf of (the citizen’s group) and appeal the failure of the Department of the Navy to respond to a Jan. 11, 2013, revised FOIA request,” Mann wrote. Attempts to reach Mann Friday were unsuccessful, but Pickard said the appeal appears to be successful as the group was recently Pickard informed the records would be sent in CD format. Pickard said, however, an appeal should never have had to been made in the first place. Exasperated and angry, he said it was just another example of an unresponsive Navy. “They blew off the request until we filed an administrative appeal,” Pickard said. Sean Hughes, public affairs officer for Navy Region Northwest, said a lawsuit may actually be counterproductive to ongoing efforts to mitigate noise impacts on Central Whidbey as the Navy’s policy is to limit communication on an issue when litigation is involved. “It would be extremely limited at best,” Hughes said. Mike Welding, public information officer for NAS Whidbey, declined to speculate on potential litigation or any long-range impacts it might have on base or flight operations. He reiterated, however, the importance of the airfield to the Navy. “The Navy’s Outlying Field at Coupeville is a critical national security asset that provides essential training for Navy pilots based at NAS Whidbey Island so they can conduct safe and effective aircraft carrier flight operations around the world,” Welding said. Important or not, Pickard and Spina say noise from the Growler is intolerable. “The reality is the strip has to go,” he said. “We’re not going to settle for anything less than shutting OLF down,” Spina said.

IN OUR OPINION
Community should encourage business Two former Navy men are bringing some of their world travels to Oak Harbor. This past Wednesday the Whidbey News-Times published a story about a new hookah lounge opening this month on Pioneer Way. The new business is generating quite a bit of response online at www.whidbeynewstimes.com Some of the response is good, some not so good. Many of the negative responses to the article seem to be geared toward a misconception that hookahs are specifically related to illicit drugs. In fact, if you read the story, owners James Ryan and Charles Morgan say none of the products available to smoke in the lounge contain tobacco and they will not allow customers to bring in outside products. The hookah is a Middle Eastern water pipe normally used to smoke shisha, a flavored tobacco mixed with molasses. It’s a tradition that goes back centuries in a wide swath of the world, from the Middle East to India and Pakistan. It has caught on in Europe and the United States in recent decades. Ryan said he first encountered hookah culture when he was guarding “third country nationals” in Qatar in 2004. He said the men would smoke hookahs in the back of an old pickup. These men are bringing this culture home in a different way, offering a glycerine concoction available, which they compared to a flavored vaporizer. While one online commentor pointed out that drawing anything into the lungs can be harmful, others pointed out that the business is open to adults only and they can make their own choices. Whidbey Island Naval Air Station brings a lot of people with a lot of life experiences to this island. These guys are bringing something they experienced while traveling overseas home to share with their community. For people who don’t get to travel, it’s great they have the opportunity to learn about other cultures and maybe experience something new. Oak Harbor has the opportunity to learn from these world travelers and if trying some flavored vapor isn’t your cup of tea, hopefully there will be more cultural businesses starting up in the future. We, as a community, should be encouraging and welcoming the start up of new business and enterprise to the area.

Alternative to OLF must be found Editor, A recent letter dismissed concerns over Coupeville OLF with the same old arguments, such as there are no alternative locations or, if OLF Coupeville closes down, then NAS Whidbey will be closed — so be careful what you wish for. These OLF clichés are not givens, nor are they inescapable realities that cannot be overcome by wise and determined leadership, which we must have to adjust to today’s need to care, not just for the Navy, but also for the health and well-being of our growing citizenry and increasingly diverse economy. So, yes, we need a new location for the OLF, just as in Virginia Beach a Growler crash into a housing complex prompted efforts to
move the Navy OLF to low-density swamplands in North Carolina and buyout the affected property owners within the 65-plus decibel noise contour and accident protection zones — meaning “crash zones.” Instead of recognizing a similar need here, our county and congressional leaders have been a bit too cozy with the Navy. They knew that establishing crash zones would thwart development, and hence strengthen and expand resolve to move the OLF. So, the county has instead ignored Navy guidelines for establishing OLF crash zones, putting the Navy first while sweeping the safety and health of the island’s residents under the political carpet. Development should have been throttled down long ago within the less than 65 decibel noise contours and crash zones. Failures of our parents and grandparents to foresee

and avoid the problems created by the OLF of today is forgivable; that our leadership of today is unwilling to confront this problem is not, and it certainly is not reason to perpetuate past ignorance. It is time for us to reboot to today for our children and grandchildren. The threats of a crash into a Coupeville neighborhood and the palatable constancy of touch-and-go noise demand that an alternative for OLF be found.

Good luck finding new OLF location Editor, In response to Ken Pickard and Robert Wilbur’s letters to the editor about the OLF Coupeville, according to the Norfolk newspa-
per the Virginia Pilot, the Outlying Field they are talking about in North Carolina is for NAS Norfolk based turboprop E2C/C2 aircraft, not FA-18s. The Navy started its search for such a facility in 2003 and has been unable to locate a suitable site as of 2012. The Navy is now investigating using the former landing field at Wallops Island, Virgina. According to the Virginia Pilot, the Navy just completed a $19 million improvement to the runway and lighting at the field. It is located about seven miles southwest of Oceana Naval Air Station in Chesepeak, Va. This will be the field carrier landing practice site for many years. If they cannot locate a field carrier landing practice site for much quieter turboprops, good luck in locating a site for jets. Carl Smith Oak Harbor

OBITUARY Marion Fowler
Marion (Brooks) Fowler passed away in her sleep on 2 April 2013, shortly after her 98th birthday. Marion was born in Providence, Rhode Island on 6 March, 1915, the eldest daughter of Ethel and Gilbert Brooks. After attending high school at the Lincoln School for Girls she went on to graduate from Katherine Gibbs Secretarial and Business College. She then worked for two years for the American Automobile Insurance Company. Marion met Herschel (Hal) Fowler of Houlton, ME, when he was attending Brown University and they were married on February 26, 1938. The Fowlers had three sons, Vernon, John and William (Bill). Hal and Marion lived first in North Quincy, MA. and then moved to Flushing, Queens, New York City, until their retirement to Houlton. Prior to the time she retired, Marion worked 10 years for a General Contractor as assistant to the office manager and 15 years as the executive secretary to the president. She loved hunting, fishing, knitting and reading. Marion and Hal, with their boys, had fun vacation trips to their camp on Upper Shin Pond in Maine. When the two retired and returned to Houlton they often motored across the lake to spend time enjoying the scenery, wild life, and fishing before Hal was no longer able to make the crossing. Marion was a wonderful story teller with a marvelous memory, and could tell some great tales of those times, as can the boys. It was an important part of all of their lives. Hal died in March of 1986 so Marion moved from Houlton to Oak Harbor, WA to be near two of her sons and their families. She had an apartment with a view of the Harbor, made many good friends and thoroughly enjoyed being here. She didn’t mind the weather and “didn’t miss the snow plows and zero degree tempera-
Marion Fowler tures of Maine one bit”. She bowled three times a week and then cut back to two in her 90s. When she first got to Oak Harbor she worked in the high school library and joined the Friends of the Oak Harbor Library, often helping with their book sales. In addition she belonged to the New England Club and a book club until her eyes prevented her from reading books but only listening to them on talking books. Marion was also an honorary member of the Retired Officer’s Wives Club and an avid Mariner’s fan, no matter what! She is survived by her three sons, Vern Fowler, Col, USAF (Ret), and wife Dani, of Oak Harbor, John Fowler, Col, USAF (Ret) and wife Marie, of Merced, CA, and Bill Fowler, Col, USAF (Ret), and wife Eileen who is deceased, of Oak Harbor. The three sons were Air Force Colonels, on active duty, at the same time and Marion was very, very proud of that. Marion had 10 grandchildren (one is deceased), 14 great grandchildren, and 4 great, great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Dorothy Kunz of St. Paul, MN, as well as a number of nieces and nephews. A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday April 9, 2013 at the Burley Funeral Chapel, 30 SE Ely Street in Oak Harbor and Marion will be buried beside her husband in Houlton, Maine. Donations in her memory can be made to Friends of The Oak Harbor Library.

Friends may go online at www.burleyfuneralchapel.com to sign a guestbook and leave memories for the family
as legal counsel for the planning department and the county in the Emerson case. “It’s a pretty clear conflict of interest for me,” Banks said during a recent interview. The service is being done for free as a courtesy between departments. Concerning the fines, the Emersons have three choices. They can pay the bill, ending the issue outright; they can appeal the order to the county’s hearing examiner; or they can simply not respond. If the order is ignored, one additional step is required to ratify Pederson’s decision — the board of commissioners must vote to file it with the auditor’s office, Kasting confirmed. When asked what her plans are, Emerson said no decisions is made, but indicated it’s unlikely she and her husband will cave in and end the issue by paying the $37,000. “We have no wetland and we have damaged nothing so why should we be fined?” Emerson asked. She indicated she and her husband won’t let the 14-day deadline pass without contesting the order. “We didn’t wait two years to do nothing,” she said. Should the Emersons appeal, and the hearing examiner to side with the county, then the issue may eventually end up back
before the board of commissioners. “That’s where the question gets interesting, because Commissioner Emerson is a member of the board,” Kasting said. He declined to say whether or not Emerson should recuse herself from the decision-making process, and it’s unclear if the state’s appearance of fairness doctrine, would prohibit her from legally participating, despite her financial interest in the matter. Even if she recuses herself, she may still have an opportunity to vote on the issue. If the two other board members vote a split decision, state law indicates that Emerson would have a legal right to break the tie, even is she were to disclose a conflict of interest. Emerson said she didn’t “expect it would be considered appropriate” to be part of the decision-making process but declined to confirm her plans until she had conferred with her attorney. “I’m going to wait and talk with our legal counsel before making any decisions,” she said. Neither of Emerson’s fellow commissioners said they would actively call for her to step away from the issue, but both suggested it might be the right course to take. “If it comes to that point, I think everyone would
expect that,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said. “The ethics of our elected office is to recuse ourselves when appropriate,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. The same potential conflict could arise should the Emersons decide to appeal the denied building permit. Unlike the enforcement order, an appeal would not be heard by the hearing examiner but by the board of commissioners. Neither commissioner will say how they would vote, saying it would be premature and speculative to announce a predetermined judgment. Johnson was clear, however, that she will not be giving preferential treatment to her Republican colleague Johnson said she “would do for the Emersons like I would do for any other couple.” “I don’t care what the outcome is, I just want this resolved,” Johnson said. “It’s a cloud hanging over the county and has been for two and a half years.” Johnson said it was “mind-boggling” how long the issue was allowed to “fester” and questioned the delay. Johnson said she’s personally worked to end the issue since taking office, speaking with various county officials, including Pederson, and pushed for progress to be made.
Price Johnson voiced similar sentiments “I would hope the Emersons would take the proper action to resolve this as soon as possible,” Price Johnson said. Price Johnson said she purposely kept her distance from the issue because she’s wants to give the Emersons “the opportunity to address this as private citizens.” Blame for a lack of progress can’t be laid solely at the planning departments feet, Price Johnson added, however. The Emersons could have decided to settle this issue long ago, she said. “It’s always been in their ability to resolve it.” With Pederson’s resignation, some of the responsibility of shepherding the next steps falls to Keith Higman, who was recently appointed interim director of the planning department. Higman said he expects the Emersons to appeal the enforcement order, which may take the issue out of his hands. If it does come back to the commissioners while he’s in charge, Higman said he was unsure exactly how he might proceed, but added he would not make any big decisions without board support as he is a temporary leader. “The clock is ticking and we are anxiously awaiting to see how the Emerson’s respond,” he said.
membership might facilitate too much discussion, which potentially could result in delayed action and even a decline in member participation. “Our concern is, if we add two more members for no compelling reason, it’s just going to take us longer to do what we already think we’re doing very efficiently,” he said. Ken Hulett, also a member of the committee, expressed similar reservations. He said it was a surprise to learn about the mayor’s proposal, and committee members are scratching their heads as to why it was pitched at all. “Our first question was, ‘why?’” he said. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” City Council members
voiced similar concerns last month. Their decision was to table the matter until the advisory group had a chance to weigh in. The committee was not consulted by the mayor or city staff at the time of the original proposal. Dudley didn’t attend Tuesday’s council meeting, but his proposal wasn’t without any support. Councilman Jim Campbell said he believes additional committee members would be an advantage. Councilwoman Tara Hizon indicated she is not opposed to the idea. There was general consensus, however, about other changes in the proposed ordinance. One change suggested that three of the seven
members could live anywhere in Washington state, and another that three of the seven need not be marina patrons. Council members seemed in agreement that membership should not be open statewide, but limited to Island County for the at large positions. Also, only one non-customer should be allowed to serve, whether the committee is composed of seven members or five. The council opted instead to table the issue again. City staff was directed to bring back two versions of the ordinance, one with seven members and the other with five. Both would contain the other residency and customer requirements discussed.
MARINA CONTINUED FROM A1 “I agree, if it isn’t broke, it doesn’t necessarily need fixed,” Servatius said. As an advisory committee, the group makes recommendations to the mayor and council on matters affecting the marina, from issues of occupancy and moorage rates to capital projects and improvements. The marina operates as an enterprise fund, which means it’s self supporting. The facility, which also rents out storage units and parking for trailers, receives no money from the city’s general fund. Christon Skinner, chairman of the advisory group, was in attendance Tuesday and testified against the proposed expansion of the committee. Skinner said additional

Oak Harbor baseball team rebounds to top Getchell By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Missed opportunities sunk the Oak Harbor High School baseball team in a 6-4 home loss to Marysville Getchell Tuesday, but the Wildcats bounced back to blank the Chargers 6-0 Wednesday. Tuesday’s loss was full of “what-ifs” for the Wildcats. Oak Harbor had a runner on third with no outs in the first and fifth innings but couldn’t score. It also failed to take advantage of a twoon, one out situation in the second. Finally, it loaded the bases with no outs in the third and managed only one run. Marysville Getchell scored on a sacrifice fly in the first after a hit and two walks loaded the bases. It took Oak Harbor only two pitches to tie the game in the bottom half. Grant Schroeder laced the first pitch up the middle for a base hit, then Brent Mertins drilled the second pitch over the left fielder’s head for a triple. Oak Harbor didn’t get another hit in the game, and Mertins became the first stranded runner. Though Oak Harbor had only two hits, it had plenty
of runners as three Charger pitchers combined to walk 10 and hit two. Getchell scored two in the second and three in the third to lead 6-1. Relief pitcher Daniel Wolfe, who entered in the second, faced the minimum number of hitters over the final four innings. The only baserunner, who walked in the sixth, was erased trying to steal. Oak Harbor scored one in the third when it loaded the bases with no outs. Jack Richter was hit by a pitch and Cory Cameron and Mike Maletto walked. David Kusnick drove a sacrifice fly to right for the run. The Wildcats added two more in the seventh. Richter walked, Maletto was hit by a pitch and Kusnick walked to fill the bases. One run scored on Andrew Snavely’s ground out and the other on a wild pitch. In Wednesday’s win, the highlight was a gem pitched by Richter. The senior right hander blanked Marysville Getchell (2-5, 3-5) with a five hitter, striking out two and walking none. He yielded only one hit after the third inning. He also led the offense with three hits. Oak Harbor scored the

it was still in the match at halftime, down only 1-0. The Wildcats’ (4-0, 5-0-1) relentless attack, however, struck twice in the second half and the Wolves couldn’t convert on its few opportunities. Mendes said, “We created a few more scoring chances in the second half with some dangerous shots on goal and three corner kicks, but could not break through.” He added, “Archbishop Murphy showed why they are undefeated with an impressive all-around display. Their offense and ball possession kept us busy most of the night.” Coupeville’s effort was good, Mendes said, and “playing a team of this caliber will speed up our growth as we approach the second half of the season.” The Wolves (0-5, 0-6) play King’s (2-3, 2-4-1) at home at 6 p.m. Monday.
only run it needed in the top of the first thanks to the wildness of the Charger starter. With one out, Mertins was hit by a pitch, Richter singled, Maletto walked and Cameron was hit by a pitch to force in a run. The Wildcats added single runs in the third and fourth. Mertins boarded on an error in the third, moved to third on Richter single and scored on Maletto’s ground out. In the fourth, Anthony Stewart singled, Snavely was hit by a pitch and Schroeder singled in Stewart. Singles by Richter, Maletto and Kusnick loaded the bases in the sixth. Clay Doughty walked, pushing in a run, and Stewart hit a sacrifice fly for another. Oak Harbor finished the scoring in the seventh when Stewart doubled in Kusnick, who singled. Schroeder, Mertins, Kusnick and Stewart each collected two hits. Oak Harbor (2-5, 3-7) plays a three-game series with Stanwood (4-3, 4-6) next week, going to Stanwood Tuesday and Friday and playing at home at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Cougars take 2 from Coupeville By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Excuse the Coupeville High School softball team if it doesn’t care to see Lakewood’s Hailey Malakowski again. Malakowski picked up two pitching wins and smacked a pair of two-run home runs as the first-place Cougars (6-1, 7-2) took two, 14-4 and 6-5, from visiting Coupeville Tuesday. Malakowski pitched a five-inning four hitter in the opening game as the Wolves struggled to get their offense going. Coupeville finally put together a rally in the fifth, plating three runs. Madeline Roberts and McKayla Bailey walked and Hailey Hammer singled to load the bases. Bessie Walstad’s fielder’s choice scored one run, then Madi Strasburg singled in two more. Strasburg had two of the Wolves’ four hits, Hammer and Haley Sherman singled and Bree Messner walked three times. While Malakowski was holding down the Coupeville attack, the Cougars thumped 13 hits, including two doubles, a triple and two home runs. The second game was as close as the first
won was a rout. A few missed opportunities and a few questionable calls hurt the Wolves in their attempt to pull off the split. Co-coach Amy King said, “We took a deep breath, got more focused and came out fighting.” Singles by Roberts and Walstad helped the Wolves get two runs in the first inning, but Coupeville left the bases loaded. Stranded runners would haunt the Wolves the entire game. The Cougars got one run back in the bottom of the first, then Coupeville scored again in the second. Roberts singled and eventually scored on a passed ball. The Wolves left two more on base. Lakewood scored one in the second to make it 3-2, then each team scored one in the fourth. Hammer crushed a home run get Coupeville’s run. It looked like the rally would continue with runners at the corners and one out. Messner bunted and was out at first on a call that could have gone either way. On the throw to first, the runner at third broke for home and was cut down on a suspect call to complete the double play. See Softball, A13

Tending to your soul may require some time for reflecting FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes‚ from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss. -- Salman Rushdie While few of us would be characterized as purely extroverted or introverted, most of us fit into one category more often than the other. I’m willing to bet that Mr. Rushdie, the well-known writer of this week’s quote, is primarily an introvert. In order to experience happiness and feel productive, Rushdie must schedule into his day adequate time to process facts, conversations, and events. He’d probably tell us he feels stressed and off balance if he can’t find time in his day to think private thoughts. And, most likely, he prefers social engagements that include small numbers of people, enabling him to experience deeper conversations. The faster our world processes information and the more connected we become to music and information, texting and public discourse, the more I see the value in learning how to create quiet environments, to find value in quieting our thoughts, and scheduling regular quiet time by unhooking from media at some point each day. There is also great value in training yourself to focus on the sacred and the spiritual — on God, Himself. He promises that if we learn how to enter His very presence, He’ll gift us with genuine rest. A growing number of medical experts have begun touting a similar message: Get plenty of rest! Aim for seven to eight hours of nightly sleep. They point to studies indicating improved relationships and increased weight loss for those who are dieting. The rest our bodies require is much different than the rest needed by our souls. One of my favorite books is “Simple Abundance” by Sarah Ban Breathnach. Her book includes an outstanding list of ways to rest your soul. This list includes things like cultivating an attitude of gratitude. Keeping your house picked up. Breathing deeply and often. Learning how to say, “no.” Savoring the beauty around you. Not answering the phone during dinner. Surrendering expectations. I’m all in favor of this list. It’s appropriate for men and women, young and old. Good stuff, I say! But how can you allow beauty to calm your soul if you’re experiencing deep emotional and spiritual pain? Your spouse has just died. You are at odds with a family member. You feel guilty about an unresolved situation. You can’t see God’s work in your life or feel His touch. You cannot seem to find gainful employment. These are the things that tire our souls and the very things God is there to soothe. But we must take some steps. We must be willing to get quiet. Read about God to understand the ways He demonstrates His love for us. Choose a mentor who has experiences with God, can listen to our frustrations, pray for us and offer helpful suggestions. Learn how to worship. It’s a lifetime of discovery. But it’s time well spent for it will nurture a relationship that will rest our souls.

Karen Mueller, owner of Wind & Tide Bookshop, shows her idea of a storybook mural design for the bare wall in the background.
Plea for painters Merchant leads effort to beautify wall By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
When Karen Mueller stares out of her storefront window, she sees signs of progress downtown. From the street and sidewalks that were part of a major downtown Oak Harbor improvement project to a bronze statue of a mermaid just up the street, Mueller is surrounded by recent upgrades. However, in the one and half years since she’s owned the Wind & Tide Bookshop on Pioneer Way, Mueller has also endured a direct view of what she calls a “graceless eyesore.” She decided to do something about it. Mueller is spearheading a project to beautify the bare side wall of a building that sits across the street from her business. And she is searching for local artists to put on their
own creative touches. For the past month, she’s worked to get the approval and support to make the “Pioneer Way Muralization Project” a reality. The project would spruce up the side wall of a privately owned building at 841 Pioneer Way, which houses Allure Salon & Spa. So far, she hasn’t run into hurdles to beautify the wall. “It’s very unattractive,” Mueller said. “Because we’re a one-way street, obviously that’s the wall you see when you’re going down the street.” Mueller said she’s gotten approval from owners of the building and adjacent lot. She checked with the city of Oak Harbor and learned that a permit wasn’t required as long as the mural was art and not an advertisement, which would then classify it as a sign. “We tell them to keep it as art, to leave the business name

Then that becomes something the city becomes involved in.” Because the mural will appear on a privately owned building, the mural isn’t required to follow the theme of public art downtown. Nevertheless, Mueller is interested in ideas that range from “historical to nautical, from botanical to Navy inspired.” Mueller envisions a mural that reflects Oak Harbor’s history. Her idea is for the painting to be of an open book with snapshots of the city’s history with captions near the images. “It’s a place to put a really beautiful depiction of our town,” Mueller said. That sort of concept is appealing to Dianne Varshock, co-owner of Kakies Bakery on Pioneer Way. She said it reminds her of what she’s seen and enjoyed while visiting Anacortes.
“It does sound really nice,” Varshock said. Several businesses have already pledged their support of the mural project, Mueller said. Jet City Rentals is donating the power washing of the wall. Diamond Rentals will donate the scaffolding. Paint and painting supplies will be donated by Sherwin-Williams Paint, Island Paint and Glass and The Home Depot. Other businesses and groups that are pledging their support of the project include Key Bank, Toppings Frozen Yogurt and Oak Harbor Garden Club. The push now is to find an artist. Those interested in submitting designs may call Mueller at 360-675-1342. She also is looking for others interested in participating or making donations. Mueller views the mural as another reason to visit downtown. And not just the completed project. “Watching people paint the wall would be way cool.”

Holland Happening has big shoes to fill
Page A11
Gardeners get chance to learn at Greenbank event
Event will be missing popular shoe carver, other staples remain By Ron Newberry Staff reporter
Katie Salinas doesn’t see herself carving wooden shoes any time soon. “I couldn’t imagine ever having to do it,” she said. Salinas is the director of Holland Happening, one of Oak Harbor’s biggest annual festivals. The 44th celebration of Oak Harbor’s Dutch heritage is April 27-28 downtown but will be missing one of its most popular attractions. For the first time in more than 20 years, shoe carver Elmer Veldheer will not be making the trip from Holland, Mich., to Oak Harbor. “We will not have a shoe carver this year,” Salinas said. “There are only three in the United States who even do it.” “Having one come out is
pretty much out of our budget.” Veldheer, 83, informed festival officials last year that it would be his last due to worsening arthritis. “His last year was actually 2011 but we begged him to come back in 2012 and he did,” Salinas said. Jan Ellis called Veldheer’s absence a shame but knows the festival will go on with lots to offer the community. She should know. She’s been a part of the Holland Happening committee every year since the first one in 1970. Ellis served as chair or cochair of the festival’s entertainment for 23 of the first 25 festivals. “I kept wanting to retire from entertainment,” said Ellis, who turns 81 in July. “I was finally able to retire from that but I’ve kept on with

Shoe carver Elmer Veldheer will be absent from Holland Happening on April 27-28. the committee as Holland Happening historian. I figure by now I am a figure head who walks around in a costume.” Ellis will don an authentic Dutch costume from the province of Zeeland at the festival. She and other members of a Holland-American Koffie Klets group she recently formed will staff a booth that will display costumes, tiles and wooden “klompen” shoes. Ellis said the group out-
grew its first meeting location and will hold its next meeting at San Remo Restaurant on Midway Boulevard from 2:30-4 p.m. on April 25. Those interested to join the group may call Ellis at 360-675-2552. Planning for the 44th Holland Happening is going well, Salinas said, noting booth spaces filled up “very, very fast. Faster than last year.” Salinas said the configuration of the booths downtown will be different, allowing for
additional booths and more space for walking. The carnival will be set up in time for rides to start on April 25. The parade isSaturday morning, April 27. Salinas said the number of parade entries is similar to last year when there were roughly 100. Salinas said Holland Happening carnival tickets, tiles, T-shirts and shoes already are on sale at Oak Harbor’s Chamber of Commerce office.

Coupeville challenges conference’s best baseball teams the three-game series and pushed the Red Wolves (9-1, 9-2) to the limit in another. That push came Wednesday when Coupeville’s Aaron Curtin hooked up with Cedarcrest ace Colton Sandhofer in an “old fashioned pitchers duel,” according to Smith. Curtin struck out six, walked two and gave up seven hits and only two earned runs. The sophomore righthander blanked the powerful Red Wolves until the fifth. His teammates countered with their first run in the bottom half. Korbin Korzan led with a single, stole second, moved to third on Jake Tumblin’s sacrifice and scored on Drew Chan’s suicide bunt. The Red Wolves put up the final two runs in the sixth when Coupeville committed its only mistakes. After a single by Adam Davenport, back-to-back errors on pickoff attempts

Although the Coupeville High School baseball team lost 3-1 to visiting Cedarcrest Wednesday, it is letting the rest of the Cascade Conference know it is no longer an easy mark. Coach Willie Smith fielded very young teams the past two years, and the wins were few and the growing pains plentiful. Now experienced, though still young with one senior, the Wolves are fighting toe-totoe with the league powers. Coupeville took one game from Cedarcrest (the Red Wolves’ only league loss) in

With the score tied at 2, Oak Harbor’s Isaiah Trower, heading the ball out of the penalty area, was undercut and taken down, according to coach Wildcat Brian Thompson. Trower, however, was

Coupeville scored its final run in the fifth. Bailey singled and eventually scored on Hammer’s ground out. The Wolves played stout defense during the double header, but an error in the fifth was costly. With two out an error put a runner on, then Malakowski – who else – drilled a two-run home run to tie the game at 5. The Wolves were unable to score in the seventh, leaving runners at second and third. Lakewood’s leadoff hitter singled and stole second. With two outs, she scored on another disputed call.

third baseman. Although the ball appeared to be foul, according to the Coupeville faithful, it was ruled fair and drove in the winning run. Bailey “pitched one of her best games all year,” King said, and Strasburg led the offense with a double and two singles. Hammer had a single to go along with the homer, Roberts recorded two singles and Walstad and Bailey had one single each. Strasburg finished the day 5-for-6 and Messner had five walks and two sacrifice bunts. King said, “The great thing is the team came out and played with confidence in the second game. They didn’t let the first game affect them, and this will help us as the season progresses.” Coupeville (3-4) welcomes South Whidbey (0-7) at 4 p.m. Monday.

pushed him to third where he scored on a base hit by Max Thomas. On the hit, the ball was misplayed in the outfield and Thomas scooted into third. He scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Nick Bowersock, beating a strong throw home by Korzan. Smith said, “In spite of that inning, I really felt it was a well-played game and our hitters made some good adjustments after the first inning. After three first-inning strike outs, we only struck out twice more and hit some balls hard that went for outs. “Overall, I was very pleased with the series and especially our pitching and defense in games one and three.” Now that Coupeville (4-5, 5-5) knocked Cedarcrest out of first, it will face the new top team, Archbishop Murphy (8-0, 9-1) next week. The teams meet at 4 p.m. in Coupeville Monday and Friday, and in Everett Wednesday.
