Unexpected prayer policy tabled by council Servatius: ‘We took a pretty good beating out there’ By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An attempt to clarify a policy regarding prayer at the start of Oak Harbor City Council meetings transformed into a political hot potato. News of a new policy restricting what should be said during council invocations spread quickly over the
weekend, upsetting many who argue a change would violated people’s freedom of religion and speech. At least a dozen people attended Tuesday night’s council meeting to speak out on the issue; some said they are specifically upset the proposals state that speakers should not invoke the name of a deity. “When I read the proposed resolution I was deeply disturbed to find wording that would dictate to which God I may pray when offering an invocation here in the council chambers,” said Ron Lawler, pastor for Family Bible Church. Several council members said they are upset that the
mayor placed the item on the agenda without their foreknowledge and that they are being unfairly criticized for something they have nothing to do with. “We took a pretty good beating out there,” Councilman Joel Servatius said after the meeting. “I feel like we were ambushed.” Nobody got any answers, however, as council members quickly tabled the proposal. Concern about the invocation was first raised this past February by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. See prayer policy, A13

Young Samaritan honored for his honesty, tenacity By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Sometimes being honest can lead to a lot of pedaling. Jonathan McLaughlin, a junior at Oak Harbor High School, discovered that after trying to return a woman’s purse last month. It meant biking all over North Whidbey to locate her. McLaughlin’s remarkable — and strenuous — act of honesty earned him the firstever Caught in the Act Award from the Oak Harbor Youth Commission. He was honored during recent meetings of the Oak Harbor School Board and Oak Harbor City Council. OHHS Principal Dwight Lundstrom praised McLaughlin’s good deed during the council meeting Tuesday night. McLaughlin found a purse containing $800 and located a pay stub inside belonging to Jessica Muzzall. He later learned Muzzall had her pay-
check and tip money from a restaurant job in the purse, which she dropped in a parking lot. McLaughlin rode his bike from Oak Harbor to the 3 Sisters Farm, owned by the Muzzall family, hoping to find Jessica. Nobody was home McLaughlin rode his bicycle back to the Oak Harbor Police Department. It was a Sunday, however, and again, nobody was home. The young man rode his bicycle back to the farm and, this time, Ron Muzzall answered the door. McLaughlin handed the purse to him and Muzzall was so appreciative he gave McLaughlin a ride home. Muzzall also offered McLaughlin a reward, but the young man simply asked him to “pay it forward.” Lundstrom said Shelly Muzzall, whom he knows well, came to his office soon See honest, A14

The MV Kennewick sails through morning fog into Keystone Harbor Friday. A recent meeting with ferry officials and legislators resulted in several changes for the new boats.
Leaning Coupeville ferry balanced By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
The signature list of the state’s new 64-car ferries was corrected on the MV Salish with 80 tons of ballast recently. The other two boats in the class are expected to
receive the same improvement later this summer. Also, the state Department of Transporation, Ferries Division, has created a vessel improvement team that will begin meeting quarterly next week in an ongoing effort to tackle issues with the new boats. See ferry, A14

Filing period is next week
County may shorten fireworks season By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Fourth of July fireworks season in Island County may be one day shorter next year. The Board of Commissioners agreed last week to hold a public hearing on a measure designed to bring county rules into conformance with state law, which is slightly more restrictive. The hearing will be held June 24 at the board’s monthly nighttime meeting, beginning at 6 pm in Coupeville. “Basically, all we’re doing is aligning with state law,” Commissioner Kelly Emerson said at a work session earlier this month. Existing county code permits the discharge and sale of fireworks from noon on June 28 to noon on July 6. State rules have a similar
schedule but it ends on July 5 and allows fewer hours. The discrepancy has been known for sometime and was discussed by the board at length in 2012. The rules were never changed, however, as there was simultaneous discussion about whether or not to make the county’s rules even more restrictive than the state’s. Former District 2 commissioner Angie Homola led the charge, advocating on behalf of constituents who were voicing complaints about long hours and frightened pets. Although Homola was unseated in November, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson picked up the torch at the meeting last week. “People are asking that we please reduce the days so I wanted to put that back out on the table to see if there was any interest,” Price Johnson said. She emphasized the negative impact on pets and livestock and added that Camano Island residents are complaining about the flood of Snohomish County resi-

Filing period is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, Monday, May 13 through Friday, May 17. Four positions on the Oak Harbor City Council are up for election this year. They are the seats currently held by Bob Severns, Joel Servatius, Jim Campbell and Danny Paggao. In Coupeville, Dianne Binder and Larry Cort’s positions on Town Council are up for reelection. Other positions up for reelection include two seats on the Oak Harbor School Board, four seats on the Coupeville school board, two seats on the Whidbey General Hospital board, two seats on the Port of Coupeville, one on the North Whidbey Fire and Rescue board, one on the Central Whidbey Fire board and four seats on North Whidbey Park and Recreation board.

Man faces 10 years for allegedly selling cocaine By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor man with a history of drug-related crimes was recently arrested for allegedly dealing cocaine, according to Island County Court documents. Prosecutors charged Odie J. Cook, Jr., 31, in Superior Court April 30 with possession with intent to deliver cocaine. He could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the charge. A report by a community corrections officer states that Cook was under the supervisor of the Department of Corrections after getting out of prison in October. He served time on a drugrelated charge. Detective Carl Seim with the Oak Harbor Police Department obtained a search warrant on Cook’s Jeep Grand Cherokee last month. Oak Harbor police, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Department of Corrections served the search warrant April 25 after Cook drove into the park-
ing lot in front of Whidbey Furniture. The Jeep was towed to the police department and searched. Seim’s report stated that the officers discovered a plastic bag containing 3.3 grams of suspected cocaine inside a towel that was under the hood. A few plastic bags containing suspected marijuana and a couple of digital scales were also found in the vehicle, Seim said in his report. On the same day, police and community corrections officers searched Cook’s home. They allegedly found a plastic bag containing suspected marijuana and another containing suspected psilocybin mushrooms inside a closet, according to the report by a corrections officer. On April 29, Cook made a preliminary appearance in court on a case related to the search of his home. Cook criminal history includes convictions for seven drug-related felonies, according to Seim’s report.

Driver injured after crashing into tree Woman fell asleep at wheel, state patrol says By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
A Clinton resident was transported to Whidbey General Hospital Friday morning after her car struck a tree along State Highway 20 near Libbey Road. At approximately 9:20 a.m., 30-year-old Clinton resident Piper Travis was driving a 1991 Toyota Corolla north on Highway 20. She was reportedly going down a hill heading toward the Libbey Road intersection on Central Whidbey. Sgt. Bruce Maier with Washington State Patrol said witnesses noticed the car was swerving in the lane prior to the accident. Eventually she veered off the highway, drove about 300 feet along an embankment parallel with the highway before hitting a tree. The car ended up in the woods just outside the view of passing motorists.

A Toyota Corolla crashed into a tree off State Highway 20 Friday morning. A Clinton woman was transported to Whidbey General Hospital as the result of the accident. She was reported in stable condition. Emergency personnel transported Travis to nearby Whidbey General Hospital. A hospital spokeswoman reported at press time that Travis was being treated and
was in stable condition. A press memo from the Washington State Patrol alleges that Travis fell asleep at the wheel. Motorists driving on
Highway 20 Friday morning encountered a slight delay because one lane of the roadway was closed while emergency personnel treated Travis.

Island Thrift scholarship named in honor of long-time volunteer By Ron Newberry Staff reporter
It was clear that the members in the room were pleased with the choice of Micaiah Davis as the first recipient of a community service scholarship. They nodded in approval and smiled as the Oak Harbor High School senior spoke about what inspired her to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor. What was even more clear, however, was the awe in the room when Helen Ludvigson got her chance to speak. She had sat quietly for a half hour in a waiting area before the meeting, never uttering a word. Then she joined Davis in a room with members of the Island Thrift board of directors who sat around a large conference table. They were invited Wednesday to both be recognized for the first Helen Ludvigson Island Thrift Scholarship for Community Service. After waiting politely and patiently, it was Ludvigson’s
turn to talk, which began with an inquiry of how she was doing. “Wonderful,” Ludvigson said warmly. “I am 93 and still going to church, keeping the books for the farm and volunteering as needed where needed. “I’ve lived a beautiful life. I’ve lived all over the world but my very favorite place (is) Whidbey Island. I’m very happy here and I’m very happy working and doing for others. I was raised in a big farm family that always did for other people. It’s my life and I’m very happy. And I’m very honored that you would recognize my work. Thank you.” Wednesday’s meeting, which was held at attorney Jim Kotschwar’s office on Kettle Street, was more than an opportunity to honor both the recipient of the scholarship and the person for which the award was named. It also became a moment of mutual admiration by two people at opposite stages of their lives bonded by a common passion. Ludvigson, who turns 93 next month, has worked as

a volunteer at Island Thrift for 33 continuous years since coming to Whidbey Island. Davis, 19, started volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor in middle school before landing a job there in high school. “It’s pretty inspiring to be around someone who puts so much into an organization,” Davis said. Davis is about to start her college journey at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, where she will pursue a degree in visual arts. She’s earned a 3.5 gradepoint average at Oak Harbor and will graduate next month, using the $1,000 Island Thrift scholarship to help with college expenses. “I want to do something involved with art,” she said. “I don’t really know what. I want to experience a lot of things. I want to learn a lot of languages. I want to travel.” Davis said life at home hasn’t been easy with her parents divorcing, so she’s ready to venture out on her own and begin a new chapter in life. She’s found the Boys & Girls Club to be a place to escape those problems and focus her efforts on helping others. Even after her work shift ends, she stays and helps. She teaches arts and crafts,

The first recipient was Oak Harbor High School senior Micaiah Davis. drawing and painting and helps run other activities. She said the club helped her when she started going there in the third grade. “I remember coming here in the summer a lot,” Davis said. “The volunteers I thought were so cool. I kind of wanted to be like them.” Island Thrift recently passed the $4 million mark in funds provided for community projects and programs. The community service scholarship was designed to inspire volunteering. Sandee Oehring, career and technical education director at Oak Harbor High School, said there roughly 20 applicants for the Helen Ludvigson scholarship, and that list was pared to four or firve for interviews. “Micaiah really rose to the top because she took the ini-

tiative herselft to give back to the organization that gave to her when she was a young person,” Oehring said. “She just goes out and volunteers and that’s what we felt was really an outstanding spirit in our community.” Ludvigson, who was born and raised in Texas, said she enjoys helping out anyway she can and has been involved with volunteering of some sort for most of her adult life. She said the progression of age has made it difficult for her to stand for long and use her hands as well as she used to, but she still travels from her home in Coupeville to Island Thrift in Oak Harbor on Wednesdays to help sort items, place price tags or help in anyway she is able. “It’s the best store in town and I get a lot of pleasure in going and doing,” she said. “I get more from volunteering
than I give. I’m very happy to have wound up my life in such a beautiful place. Other places in the world are beautiful three months a year. But the other nine months, forget it. Whidbey Island is beautiful. I live in a beautiful home, with the animals and flowers. I could not ask for a more beautiful place at the end of my life.” Before Davis left the attorney’s office Wednesday, Ludvigson offered some parting words. “I hope you have a wonderful life,” she told her. “I hope your life will be as beautiful as mine has been. I’ve worked all my life and I’ve gained happiness from work.” “It’s fun to work. It’s good to work. And my heart goes with you. I know you will do your best. Just put your best foot forward and keep walking.’ “Ignore everybody else.”

A fire discovered around noon Friday damaged a home between Oak Harbor and Coupeville. Firefighters responded to a call of a home ablaze on Williams Road located off Hastie Lake Road southwest of Oak Harbor. It turned out a storage room adjacent to the home’s garage had caught fire. Joel Zimmermann, one of three people inside the home at the time of the incident, opened the door to the storage shed to see the problem. It slammed back shut and flames started shooting out of a vent. “It was insane,” said Zimmermann. He emptied two fire extinguishers to douse the blaze by the time firefighters from North Whidbey Fire and Rescue arrived. Once the blaze was extinguished, firefighters looked for potential hotspots, investigated the

Window clings would help businesses keep away the pesky gays PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
Senate Bill 5927, being co-sponsored by state Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, is seriously flawed. Not so much because it flies in the face of anti-discrimination laws that the majority of society supports and subscribes to, but because it’s just so darn hard sometimes to tell who the gays and lesbians are. SB 5927 would allow business owners a legal right to refuse goods or services to gays, lesbians and anyone else based on religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs or the more vague, “matters of conscience.” Here’s the problem — unless gays or lesbians sashay into a business arm-in-arm or are wearing pink triangles on their chests like they were required in Nazi Germany, it can be confusing for a concerned business owner to ferret them out. Gays have gotten tricky — some wear the same clothes and exhibit the same mannerisms as those people who made the decision to be straight at an early age. These days, some gays blend right into the fabric of mainstream America. Some gay men don’t speak with lisps or gesture with limp wrists. Some lesbians don’t sport severe mullets, and some wear makeup and carry purses. You know the stereotypes. Heck, with the demise of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” apparently some gays and lesbians proudly wear military uniforms and are allowed to fight and die to protect the rights and freedoms of people of conscience like Sen. Bailey. Every business owner has the right to hold true to their religious and moral values. And Freedom of Speech protects their right to voice their disapproval for gays and lesbians. Unfortunately, there are people who chose to be straight who could be caught in the web of Bailey’s law. Women with short haircuts shopping together and metrosexual ladies’ men with waxed eyebrows and perfect tans might be wrongly labeled as gay and denied service. Where would the law fall in those cases of mistaken sexual identities? SEE GRAVES, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bill
Bailey is watching out for businesses Editor, Thank you, Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor. As our elected state senator, we appreciate the efforts that you are making to protect the rights of business owners in Washington state. While the Consumer Protection Act was created to protect against discrimination based on gender, race, religion, disability or sexual orientation, there needs to be some consideration of the rights of business owners in cases that violate “sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs or matters of conscience.” Harry Anderson wrote that the rights of business owners that involve person-
al religious freedoms that allow us to worship as we please and to associate with whomever we choose stops at the cash register. He cites his own ideas about religious expression. He says religious freedom inspired Jim Crow laws against the South. Anderson should recognize that religious expression inspired the abolitionist and civil rights movements as well. Remember, Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist preacher. Mr. Anderson says scripture references to a woman’s place denied women equal opportunities. Scripture references can be misused if misunderstood. Scripture references to the equality of women have allowed women to excel. As a Christian woman, I can say it is not the Bible

that holds women back, but those who misrepresent it. He suggests that it would be insidious to grant permission for someone to discriminate based on philosophical beliefs and matters of conscience. What is insidious is for the 52 percent who voted for same-sex marriage to force the 48 percent who disagreed to violate their conscience in matters that are of a moral — not just legal — nature. It is one thing to go into a florist shop and purchase flowers from the shelf, it is quite another to force the florist to service a wedding with which she is in moral disagreement. A nurse who works in an office that dispenses contraception is not forced to perform abortions if it’s against her personal conscience. Can she say “no” to a

As gun shop owner who sells ammunition is not required to meet a customer with a semi-automatic outside a local school with a fresh batch of ammo. If the person with the gun is homosexual, can that shop owner say “no” without risk of legal action? Business owners can already refuse service — “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” Bartenders can be legally held responsible if they choose to serve someone who is intoxicated. That bartender must use some level of discrimination/judgment in making that call. Society will hold him responsible for his lack of SEE LETTERS, A7

Tell county you support recycling Editor, A political cartoon in Saturday’s paper shows a broken down car, a shack and part of a truck and said they are not really a car, a house and a truck. The last panel shows a small recycle bin — no glass — and asks readers if we con-
sider this a recycle program. Recycling using allin-one carts was started years ago throughout much of Washington state. Co-mingled recycling is a convenient way to make landfills last longer, reduce trips to drop off stations and allow customers to choose lesser garbage service than they have now. While there is a cost to create a recycling program to pay for trucks, employees and carts, you can partially or completely offset this by reducing garbage service, usually a reduction of 30 percent or more. This allows a household to go from two garbage cans to one, or even better to choose every-otherweek or monthly service. Island Disposal has worked with the county to start a curbside recycle program for the past seven years. The proposed plan would use a wheeled 96-gallon cart, not a small bin, provided by Island Disposal, or smaller if you don’t have the room. It’s picked up every other week and all of the recycling goes in the same container, no need to separate anything. Glass would not be included because processors are less willing to accept paper coated with broken glass. Those that do process glass have little or no market to truly recycle what’s broken in the trucks and broken at the recycle plant. Glass becomes a PR fix instead of real recycling. Island County commissioners recently voted 2-1
“It would create jobs. At least people would be guaranteed to have jobs for another year.” Clint Copeland, Coupeville
to rescind an ordinance for mandatory combined recycle and garbage services which is the only way to keep recycling costs low. In response to the recent “no” vote and comments by the board of commissioners that residents are against this recycling program, we encourage residents to e-mail and call the county commissioners representing District No. 2 and District No. 3 showing support for recycling. If those commissioners hear that you want recycling, hopefully we can start now and not wait indefinitely. Kent Kovalenko District Manager Island Disposal
Politics
Administration lied about Benghazi Editor, It is now abundantly clear that the Obama Administration lied to the American public about the Benghazi Consulate terrorist attack and engaged in a preelection cover-up. Abundantly clear to those of us who still care about truth in government that is. From the lies about a YouTube video causing a spontaneous demonstration which went out of control to the lies about how nothing could have been done during the attack and the lies about how engaged President Obama was, we see that the Benghazi matter was a huge
failure in American leadership and honesty. We now know that state department and Intel personnel were very aware while it was happening that it was a calculated Islamic Jihadist terrorist attack on American interests on the 9/11 anniversary. Ambassador Stevens last known words were “we are under attack.” The subsequent cover-up of that fact is shameful. The problem now is getting the High Emotion, Low Information Obama (HELIO) voters to care about the fact that their federal government conspired to mislead them in order for a sitting president to get re-elected. I am not optimistic about this endeavor. Getting the HELIO voter to pay attention beyond Dancing with the American Idol Stars, the latest prurient sex scandal or exactly how much their “free” government entitlements are will be difficult at best. Everything Santa Claus Obama gave them to buy their vote last November was laced through and through with a very powerful narcotic called Largesse and they have all since returned to their slumber. One bright note — Hillary Clinton will possibly, finally, be held to account for the some of the deaths she is linked to. Also, I wonder who the Democrats will run now in 2016? Dr. Kermit Gosnell? That would be a good choice
for them as he embodies the Democratic National Convention platform. Republican Dr. Ben Carson will run circles around him. Does anyone know how much money President Obama made at his fundraiser in Vegas that he went to the next day after 9/11/12 instead of staying in Washington, D.C. and handling the Benghazi cover-up personally?

Schools
Gibbons should be next schools chief Editor, Twenty years ago I wrote a letter to the Whidbey NewsTimes in support of Rick Schulte for school superintendent. Having attended the Oak Harbor schools from first grade through high school, and receiving graduate degrees from Whitworth University, I have known and worked with Dr. Schulte these past 20 years. I also came to know and work with assistant Superintendent Lance Gibbons, whom I now recommend to fill the superintendent position. Dr. Gibbons, is highly qualified, understands the local school system and the community, and is a perfect match for the job. Jim Bailey Oak Harbor
Graves CONTINUED FROM 6
This would violate the rights of good, upstanding straight folks. While Bailey’s bill will likely die this session, it will undoubtedly be reintroduced in some form down the road. I would suggest some revisions are in order. Rather than force business owners to try and determine who might be gay and lesbian or — even more embarrassing, ask people — merchants who don’t want to accept money from gay and lesbian customers should be required to put a special cling on their front door. It could be a pink triangle pointed downward. This would send a loud and clear message to gays, lesbians and their friends, family and children: Take your business to someone who wants it. n Keven R.

County puts Noble Creek on hold
ObituarY James Allen Gatto
February 6, 1935 – March 24, 2013 Son, Husband, Father, Friend, Brother, Uncle and Papa Born in Tacoma to Pete and Alice Gatto, Jim was the 2nd of 4 children (Lauretta, John and Frank). Jim was educated in the Highline School District, starting with Sunnydale Elementary. He played football while attending Puget Sound Jr. High and Highline High School. At the age of 19, he married Sharon West, and their daughter Esther was born in November 1955. Jim was drafted into the US Army at the age of 23, serving as a tank mechanic from May 1958 until June 1960. While in the Army, he met and married RuthAnn Kantzer in June of 1959. After his discharge, he returned to his job at Fruehauf Truck and Trailer in Seattle. He was employed as a mechanic, eventually working his way up to foreman. Jim was instrumental in developing the tilt bed trailer. Jim loved the outdoors – fishing, hunting and mountain climbing (all the major peaks in Washington). His proudest climb was to the top of Mt. Rainer, where he sat and drank the last of his dad’s Diego Red homemade wine, and having Jim Whittaker pick out the ice axe he used for the climb. Because of his love of the outdoors, Jim was asked to be scout master for Boy Scout Troop 399, which he did with great enthusiasm for five years. He was a member of the Burien Elks Lodge #2143 for 51 years, during which time he helped install the sign in front of the building on 1st Avenue, where it remains to this day. In 1962, Jim and RuthAnn built a new house together in Burien, where they lived and raised six children. He always had a garden, growing vegetables for the dinner table, and beautiful roses for all to enjoy. Jim retired from Fruehauf in October of 1986 and they moved to Whidbey Island at Greenbank in 1990. Here he became a gentleman farmer raising a crazy

James Allen Gatto menagerie of farm animals and Polled Hereford cattle. Raising the grandchildren and great-grandchildren on “The Farm” was one of his profound joys. Jim and the family spent many happy days at the cabin in the Cascade River Park, where he was known as a champion fisherman. Hunting and hiking in the North Cascades was one of his passions. He also enjoyed spending time at the ocean, digging razor clams, hunting, picking blackberries and mushrooms, and fishing on his daughter’s charter boat “Blue Eyes.” On Sunday, March 24 while at Providence Hospital in Everett where he was being treated for several ailments related to a life of hard work and play, surrounded by his family, Jim moved on to greener pastures.

Island County put the brakes on a plan to help Langley pay for an eight-acre conservation easement this week. On Monday, the Board of Commissioners was scheduled to vote on a contract that would have provided the city with $175,000 in conservation futures funding for the Noble Creek project. It was the last step in the funding process as the conservation futures funding allocations were approved last year. Instead of approving the contract, the board tabled the issue until June. District 1 Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said details changed from the original funding proposal and expressed concern about the property’s value. To be safe, she asked to hold off making a decision until those questions could be answered. “I would feel more confident if we had an appraisal review,” Price Johnson said. “I just want to double check.” Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson
Price Johnson
was not present – she was out of state – and Commissioner Jill Johnson voiced no objection to postponing the decision until after more information is gathered. “I think it would best … so everyone is confident when we make the decision,” Johnson said. Last year, city officials sought $600,000 in Conservation Futures Funding to buy 11.4 acres of undeveloped property along Noble Creek, east of Camano Avenue. The idea was to preserve the area as open space, create trail connectivity and provide public access to the waterfront. Program funding requests are reviewed by two advisory groups before being forwarded to the commissioners for final approval. One of the committees, the technical advisory group, recommended Langley instead pursue a $175,000 conservation easement on eight of the 11 acres.

The remaining property would remain open for development with as many as 20 new homes, according to Langley officials. The commissioners Monday pondered holding the contract until Langley has the property appraised, but opted instead to discuss the issue during a future weekly work session. Jeff Arango, planning director for Langley, said the delay is frustrating as conditions for an appraisal were hammered out last year during the funding review process. An appraisal would be done, but after the contract was signed. Half of the $7,000 would be paid by the county, the other by the property owner. The project is on a shoestring budget and the City of Langley wasn’t planning to cover the cost out of pocket, Arango said. “If they are telling us we have to have that done before they approve the contract, we’ll have to rethink that.” Arango said he doubts that the issue will be much of an obstacle and that he is hopeful the confusion can be worked out by the time the board hears the issue again. “I’m pretty confident we’ll get it worked out one way or another,” he said. Once the issue is hammered out and contract approved, the city is expected to move quickly to purchase the easement, he said.

Wildcats win tie-breaker, earn district berth By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Oak Harbor High School will make its first trip to the district softball tournament in at least 10 years thanks to a 7-4 win in eight innings in a tie-breaker game at MarysvilleGetchell Thursday. Oak Harbor ended up in a tie for third in the Wesco 3A North with Getchell after losing the final conference game 14-2 to visiting Marysville-Pilchuck Wednesday. The Wildcats’ reward for making district? An opening round match with the Western Conference’s top team, Meadowdale (13-0, 17-2), at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, at Everett’s Phil Johnson Fields. Oak Harbor (4-9, 6-15) will play again Tuesday at 6 p.m. against the winner or loser from Glacier Peak (12-8) and Ferndale (13-7) in the double-elimination tournament. In the loss to Marysville-Pilchuck, Oak Harbor picked up only one hit off a pair of Tomahawk pitchers. Morgan Young hit an RBI single; Lexie Findley collected the second RBI. Oak Harbor committed eight

Save call kicks Oak Harbor out
A disputed call brought an abrupt end to the Oak Harbor High School baseball season as the Wildcats lost 4-3 at Marysville-Pilchuck in a loserout district tournament game Tuesday With one out in the bottom of the seventh and the score tied at 3, Marysville-Pilchuck’s Kyle Nobach stole home for the winning run. The play started as a suicide bunt. Nobach broke for the plate as pitcher Grant Schroeder began his windup. The Tomahawk hitter whiffed the bunt on a low pitch that skipped to Oak Harbor catcher Mike Maletto. Maletto dove and appeared to tag the sliding Nobach out, but Nobach was called safe. After the game the plate umpire explained to Oak Harbor coach Tyson VanDam that Nobach popped up from his slide and stepped over Maletto’s tag. The game finished badly for the Wildcats but began every well. The first three batters all reached base and all scored; however, that would be it as M-P pitcher Cody Anderson continually wriggled out of trouble and blanked Oak Harbor over the final six innings. Anderson struck out nine, six with runners in scoring position. In all, Oak Harbor left 10 on base. The Wildcats had only four hits, singles by Jack Richter, Cory Cameron, Austyn Walker and Mike Maletto. Maryville-Pilchuck (17-5) won the Wesco North and defeated Oak Harbor (11-11) three times by a combined score of 23-4 during the regular season. VanDam said, “We played well on defense; Grant pitched well…I feel bad for our seniors.” It was a tough way for Oak Harbor to end its season after reboundng from a 2-7 start.
errors in the game, leading to nine unearned runs off starter Emily Saar. That loss set up the tie-breaker game with the Chargers. The Wildcats made a habit this year of letting leads slip away but avoided another meltdown in the win over Getchell with the help of a big eighth inning. Oak Harbor led 3-0 until the Chargers scored three in the bottom of the third inning. The Wildcats took a 4-3 lead into the seventh, but Getchell pushed across a run to force extra innings. Shawna Steele was the power behind the Wildcat win. After Findley singled in the first, Steele blasted a home run over the left fielder’s head to give Oak Harbor the early lead. In the third, Steele’s deep fly ball to center was misplayed and a second error on the same play allowed her to circle the bases. Four consecutive singles and an error helped Marysville-Getchell tie the game at 3 in the bottom of the third inning. Steele started the sixth with an
infield single, stole second and scored on an error off the bat of Young. A triple and single by the Chargers in the seventh nudged the game to extra innings. In the top of the eighth, Natalie Fiallos got things going with a single and stolen base. Steele was intentionally walked. A pair of passed balls enabled Fiallos to score and put Steele on third. Emily Saar walked and courtesy runner Riley Thompson stole second. Young lined a two-run single to finish the scoring. Getchell didn’t threaten in the seventh as pitcher Saar finished with a complete-game seven-hitter, striking out seven, walking four and giving up two earned runs. Steele scored four runs to go along with her two hits. Findley also finished with two hits, and Nikki Vogt added a single. Coach Jess Boswell said, “We were focused from the beginning; it started on the bus.” And that focus earned another bus trip — to district.
‘Great year’ ends with soccer playoff loss By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Oak Harbor High School soccer coach Brian Thompson emphasized the positive after his team was eliminated from the district tournament with a 4-1 loss at Stanwood Thursday. Thompson said, “It was a great year, we peaked at the right time.” That peak led to a 2-1 win over Shorecrest in the opening round of district and a tough 1-0 loss to fifth-ranked and South Division champion Shorewood. Thompson added, “I am really happy with what the kids did this year. It was a great run.” Stanwood (13-4-2) ended the run with a dominating win Thursday. The Spartans controlled play throughout and forced Oak Harbor keeper Kevin Silveira to make five save before the Wildcats attempted a shot. Ironically, that first shot was the match’s first score and Oak Harbor took an improbable 1-0 lead. Alex Krantz’s perfectly placed header in the upper right corner of the net off a long pass from Garth Westcott gave Oak Harbor the lead 11 minutes into the match. The Spartan onslaught con-
tinued as they peppered away at the goal, eventually scoring in the 32th minute. It took Stanwood just 30 seconds into the second half to take the lead when it scored on a free kick from the top of the goalie box. The Spartans struck again in 57th and 73rd minutes. Oak Harbor (8-10-1), meanwhile, managed only three quality shots against the stingy Stanwood defense. Stanwood is coached by Oak Harbor graduate Kyle Veach, who played on the Wildcats’ last playoff team in 2002. If Stanwood defeats Shorecrest Saturday, it will earn the school’s first trip to the state soccer tournament. Shorewood, which beat the Wildcats handily 4-1 during the regular, received a spirited fight from Oak Harbor. The Wildcats dominated play in the second half but couldn’t punch in the tying goal. Their best chance came with five minutes left when Gavin Stewart rocketed a shot that was saved by Thunderbird goalie Calvin Crawford. Crawford, however, could not hang on to the bullet, giving Dakota Powers a chance on the rebound.

Gavin Stewart flies for a header at Stanwood Thursday. Crawford recovered to deflect that shot as well and save the game for the T-birds. Shorewood, 15-1-1 and the defending district champions, scored in the 13th minute.
Thompson said a defensive breakdown allowed the score. Silveira sparkled in the match, keeping the Wildcats within one with four saves on Shorewood breakaways.

Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times
Coupeville’s Brandon Kelley flies over a hurdle on the way to qualifying fourth at the district preliminaries Wednesday.
Madison Tisa-McPhee recorded the fastest qualifying time in the 100-meter hurdles to lead the efforts of the Coupeville High School track team at the district preliminaries Wednesday at Lynden Christian High School. Finals were held in four events, the girls 3,200 and triple jump and the boys 1,600 and long jump. Coupeville’s Erin Rosenkranz placed 11th in the 3,200 in 13:27.3. The Wolves had no entries in the other finals. Preliminaries were held in only the individual running events. The district finals were last night; results were not available at press time. Tisa-McPhee topped the field in the 100 hurdles in 16.49 and was second in the 300 hurdles in 49.23. Makana Stone (26.91) and
Sylvia Hurlburt (27.62) finished 2-5 in the girls 200. Marisa Etzell was 10th in the 100 (13.8) and Courtney Allard 15th in the 100 hurdles (20.88).

to earn the top spot and carry Oak Harbor to second place in the team standings. Glacier Peak won the meet with 480 strokes; Oak Harbor finished with 488 in the 10-team field. The effort by Leete also wrapped up the individual league point title for the junior and a berth on the allconference first team. Each golfer and team received
points after the six conference matches and the league tournament. Leete totaled 166; Penner was second with 159. As a team, Oak Harbor placed third with 24 league points.

Remember that we’re key players in human drama FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE I like simple things, like slathering homemade bread with butter moments after it has been pulled out of the oven. I also like stirring a pot of sourdough starter. While others may see a creamy yellow, bubbling concoction with a distinctive smell, I imagine pancakes and bread. I anticipate quiet conversations, pleasure, and heavenly life lessons. Lest you think I’m a bit odd, a Google search of the word “sourdough” produces more than 6.5 million sites. A whole lot of us have more than a passing interest, it seems. Our American history books tell us that pioneers understood the great value of sourdough and took extreme care to protect their starters because they were a cheap, dependable and served as a neverending source of pancakes, biscuits and breads. In her book, Alaska Sourdough, chef Ruth Allman writes that Alaskan prospectors were unaware of laboratory tests revealing that sourdough contains the greatest amount of protein for its weight and size of comparable foods. They understood that a 50-pound sack of flour and a sourdough pot could help sustain them through a miserable winter. Feed your starter and it can live for decades. Share it and it will feed countless people. There’s more to this story than the satisfaction gained from stirring and baking. When I look at my starter, I see goodness resulting from simplicity and attentiveness. It represents a willingness my husband and I are developing to walk through fear and worries in order to share the most basic elements of our lives. As I contemplate this Mother’s Day I feel soulful satisfaction, awe, and the growing joy of expanding love as I celebrate being mother to three natural children and a fourth “bonus” child who joins us this year. “How did this happen?” we regularly ask ourselves. We thought we had the big plan of our lives all figured out. We’d have children, raise them, and enjoy careers. We’d retire someday. Travel. Love our grandchildren. Then we heard about a girl people called remarkable. We learned that she longed to live in Oak Harbor, attend high school, and to be loved by a family. We looked at our simple life plan — as well as the simple ingredients we have used to create a home and parent our kids — and we realized very quickly that God was presenting us with a profound question we never imagined answering: “If not you, then who?” This Mother’s Day I’m learning to trust God in deeper ways when He says we are never to discount the value of our work or our place in the world. We are to do something good for someone and watch for the ways He will use it.

Golf club on new course New name, new offerings part of major changes at Whidbey Golf Club By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
A thick stack of scorecards and piles of green pencils still bear the old name. As the inventory thins and eventually vanishes, though, the transformation of a halfcentury old golf course in Oak Harbor will be complete. Whidbey Golf Club is the new name of the 18-hole course formerly known as Whidbey Golf & Country Club. The new name reflects the biggest changes at the course since the club, opened in 1961. The club is veering from its private course image by offering a variety of membership options geared toward casual, military and seasonal golfers, and is marketing itself as a “semi-private” course. The changes are an attempt to reinvigorate interest in the course by peeling off its exclusivity label. Eric Schelling, the club’s general manager, said big changes were necessary to keep the club viable after a decline in the game’s popularity and economic recession led to a significant reduction in membership over two decades.
Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times
Whidbey Golf Club general manager Eric Schelling, right, worked to persuade the golf club’s board that some shifts in memberships and branding would be beneficial the club and the public. Shareholder membership that reached 450 during the height of the Tiger Woods craze in the mid 1990s had dipped to 200. Schelling started pushing for changes shortly after joining the club’s staff in 2006 when he began seeing statistics that alarmed him. Of the club’s members, there were 75 members over the age of 75 and one under age 40. “I was looking at the next generation,” Schelling said. “I saw some huge red flags.” Modifications were made to
membership offerings to attract younger golfers, resulting in new “under 40” category. In a year, membership in that age group rose from one to 30, Schelling said. That success laid the foundation for the sweeping changes that the board of directors approved in late February, Schelling said. In April, the new Whidbey Golf Club moniker was unveiled, offering seven additional customized membership options. Among them are memberships targeted toward people unique to Whidbey Island,
including the military and part-time island residents. Other new memberships were designed for juniors, executives and casual golfers. While a traditional club member pays $2,805 a year for membership, an active duty military member is now able to play for $110 monthly on a per-month basis. Whidbey Golf Club offered a “Military Appreciation Day” on May 4, drawing about 100 service members who played for free. Military memberships at See GOLF CLUB, A12

the golf course rose from two under the former slightly-discounted format to 50 under the new one. “Their lifestyle is one of transition,” Schelling said. “They would be less apt to join something they’d probably have to quit.” Schelling also took a long look at the number of Whidbey Island residents who live on the island only during the warmer, golf-playing months and made a bold suggestion to offer a discounted rate during peak season. From April to September, a “seasonal” member can play for $855 less than a traditional premium annual member. The fear would be that all members would gravitate toward that category, but Schelling argued that their welldrained course and “rain shadow” it rests under makes Whidbey Golf Club a desirable place to play 12 months of the year. “We said, ‘Let’s not act out of fear. Let’s act out of opportunity,’” Schelling said. Schelling said he hasn’t heard any negative feedback about the changes, which are still in progress. A new logo was designed featuring a red barn, which serves as a reminder to the days when cows roamed on the land that was once the Loerland Dairy Farm. Steve Anderson, one of the club’s board members, is building a new sign that will rest near the club’s entrance.

Couple plan June nuptials
Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times
Whidbey Golf Club has been open for public play in the afternoons since the late 1990s but the course’s old ‘country club’ name and lack of marketing that opportunity kept most golfers in the community unaware. “It’ll look barnish,” Schelling said. The pro shop already features black caps and polos in seven different colors that boast the new logo. “I like it,” pro shop employee Brandon Kenworthy said. “It goes back to our roots.” Taking “country” out of the club’s name was important to let golfers in the community know they can play on the course, Schelling said. He said there has been public play in the afternoons at the club since the late 1990s but “we didn’t tell anybody
about it.” Schelling is busy getting word out now about the many new changes in 2013, including the community’s new website at www.whidbeygolfclub. com. He’s also gearing up for the club’s biggest annual event, the Men’s Invitational, May 25-26. He’s hoping the new sign is up by then. “I don’t know of any other golf courses doing this,” Schelling said. “I think it’s a little progressive thinking, and so far, it’s going pretty well.”

PRAYER POLICY CONTINUED FROM A1 The organization sent a letter to the city of Oak Harbor demanding the end of prayers before council meetings. “Local government should not be in the business of performing religious rituals, or exhorting all citizens, regardless of beliefs to participate in a Christian prayer, or even asking citizens to show deference or obeisance to the ritual,” Stephanie Schmitt, staff attorney for the group. In response, Bill Hawkins, the city’s attorney at the time, and Renee Rucker, the mayor’s executive assistant, drafted an informal policy which is sent to everyone who’s invitied to give the opening prayer. Those giving invocations are asked to be nondenominational, not invoke a particular faith and not to mention a deity. The policy is not always followed as speakers regularly invoke the Lord’s name. City Administrator Larry Cort said the administration asked interim city attorney, Grant Weed, to draft a formal policy for the council to adopt.
Cort said “the administration” decided to put the draft on the agenda once they received the document from Weed. Dudley said that it’s his decision to keep the opening prayer since he sets the agenda. “We should be praying all the time,” he said. “We need all the help we can get.” Dudley added, however, he takes the advice of the city’s legal counsel seriously and doesn’t want to create a liability for the taxpayers. “I’m in favor of keeping the invocation,” he said. “I’m also in favor of ensuring the city of Oak Harbor doesn’t get sued.” Cort said the proposed policy is virtually the same as one adopted by the city of Marysville, where Weed also serves as a city attorney. “The conclusion of the prayer should embrace the collective prayerful thoughts of all present in an ecumenical manner rather than ‘in the name of ...’ a particular deity,” Oak Harbor’s draft policy stated. The gist of the draft is the
same as the informal policy in place in Oak Harbor for the past year. Councilwoman Tara Hizon made a motion Tuesday to table the draft resolution; the council members weren’t able to discuss the issue because the rules governing Tuesday’s meeting prevent debate on such motions. After the meeting, Hizon said she didn’t want to take up the discussion because of the length of the council’s agenda and because she wasn’t fully prepared. Council members didn’t know anything about the proposal until they received their agenda packets Friday, she said. “It came out of the blue,” Hizon said. Servatius agreed. The council wasn’t responsible for the resolution, he said. “There was not one council person’s thumb print on that.” Dudley and Councilman Jim Campbell said they weren’t happy that the council balked on the issue. Only Campbell voted against the motion to table the proposal.

Dudley invited the people who attend the council meeting specifically to address the proposal to speak during the public comment period. “We have a constitutional right to say and to pray to whatever God we deem worthy,” Oak Harbor resident James Stone said, “and to violate that would be to infringe upon our First Amendment rights.” Several people quoted from a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recent ruling, Rubin v City of Lancaster, which states that it is not unconstitutional for the city to open a council meeting with a prayer
mentioning Jesus Christ. Tim Geist, a pastor at Bible Baptist Church, said that the city attorney wouldn’t have written the policy had he first read the Ninth Circuit ruling. Geist suggested that either the offending paragraph be deleted, or the entire matter tabled indefinitely “in the name of religious freedom.” Oak Harbor resident Tom Smith asked the council to stop opening the meetings with a prayer to Jesus Christ. Smith said he’s a member of the group Whidbey Island Freethinkers.
“I have no problem with the prayer itself as it is protected free speech,” he said. “But it becomes unconstitutional when you mention the name of a specific deity, in this case Jesus Christ.” Smith noted that the Lancaster case is under appeal and that other courts of appeal have ruled differently. It’s unclear if and when the proposed prayer policy will return to the council. Cort said he hopes to have a workshop at which the council can discuss the proposal with Weed, who was absent this week.

afterward and told him the story. He wanted to do something to recognize McLaughlin and remembered the Oak Harbor Youth Commission had started the Caught in the Act Award. “Jonathan is certainly a shining example of what is good about our community, an example of and for our youth, and an outstanding individual,” Mcclaughlin Lundstrom said. Lundstrom explained that McLaughlin is active in the school’s Career and Technical Education program and is very polite and well thought of by his teachers. Lundstrom also noted that McLaughlin is looking for a summer job. “I tell you what, this would be a kid I’d be looking for,” he said. Oak Harbor Councilwoman Tara Hizon, a member of the Youth Commission, explained the rationale behind the award. “Youth and teenagers in particular are constantly being told what they are doing wrong,” she said, “And so we thought that when we see someone doing something right that they should get ‘caught in the act’ for that as well.” McLaughlin spoke briefly before the meeting was recessed so that city officials could get their photos taken with him. “I’m very glad to be part of the honest people in society and I really have my dad to thank for that,” he said.
Both measures got the green light at a meeting late last month, involving vessel operators, senior-level agency management, and state two state lawmakers, Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor and Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton. One of 15 legislators who were dogging ferry leaders over design and cost issues with the Kwa-di Tabil class ferries since 2012, Smith called the meeting both “productive” and “respectful.” “It was such an encouragement to be part of something that will make a difference — and this will make a difference,” Smith said. The meeting was also unusual as senior agency officials don’t often meet with vessel operators. David Moseley, assistant chief of Ferries Division, said he suggested the idea as a means of getting the “experts” — designers and operators — together to address some of the issues surrounding the vessels. He added he also considers the meeting a success. “I think we laid a good foundation for moving forward,” Moseley said. In February, the agency announced that it would be adding ballast to all three vessels at once. The modifications would cost about $300,000 to complete. The extra weight would offset a designed list of about two degrees. Although ferry officials have maintained the ferry lists go away once the

“It might even save a little fuel because it will be more efficient.” David Moseley, Assistant chief of Ferries Division
vessels are loaded with cars, the characteristic proved unpopular following the 2010 launching of the first vessel in the class, the $83.6 million MV Chetzemoka. According to Moseley, fixing the ferries’ lists would not only address the aesthetic issue, it may also improve handling by causing the vessel to sit lower in the water. “It might even save a little fuel because it will be more efficient,” Moseley said. The plan to address the lists on all three boats at once was postponed, largely out of lawmaker concern, Moseley said. It was decided during the April meeting to see if the benefits of adding ballast to one vessel would really pencil out before making the investment on the remaining two. Moseley said he is confident the improvements will be worthwhile, and that the ballast will be added to the MV Kennewick and MV Chetzemoka at the end of the summer. The new ferries have other problems as well, however, and the job of the improvement team is to identify and come up with solutions for the bugs. Some of the issues that may be dis-
cussed include propellor characteristics and protocols that will lead to fuel savings, elevator performance and a “mystery” vibration problem. South Whidbey resident Dave Hoogerwerf, chairman of the Clinton Ferry Advisory Committee and co-chair of the state Ferry Advisory Committee, was at last month’s meeting. He said the issue was initially discounted as nothing more than rumor. Later in the meeting, a mate said the issue is in fact real and occurs at random. Hoogerwerf said the vibration is so “radical” that it may be causing metal fatigue in railings. “Everybody had a sneaking suspicion that (the vibration) was real but it had been discounted until that came up,” Hoogerwerf said. “It’s worthwhile having meetings like this,” he said. Moseley said it’s hard to track down a problem that occurs at random so a log is being created that will provide more details about when it happens, where and for how long. Moseley said new boats always have bugs and the improvement team will meet as long as is needed. It’s a great idea and is one he expects to implement again for the 144-car Olympic-class ferries when the first goes into service in 2014, he said. Four are planned but, so far, funding has only been secured for two.
