Filing Week yields early surprises

City of OH entering into lease for new animal shelter By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

With days to go, more than 40 seeking offices By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Filing Week for open public offices in Island County began Monday and the first 24 hours yielded a few surprises. With days to go, the following are among the candidates to file so far. OAK HARBOR Arts Commission member William “Skip” Pohtilla quietly filed for Position 6 on the City Council. The seat is held by Jim Campbell, who is wrapping up his second term. “Yeah, I thought I’d throw my hat into the ring,” Pohtilla said. Choosing to run against Campbell, who confirmed plans to file for reelection Thursday, was a bit of a coin toss, Pohtilla said. Pohtilla said he’d heard other races would be contested so he chose Position 6. Pohtilla said he has nothing against Campbell. “I’m just interested in what’s going on and making Oak Harbor a better place,” Pohtilla said. This would be Pohtilla’s second attempt at winning a seat on the council. He sought appointment to Position 5 last year — the seat vacated by Scott Dudley when he was elected mayor — but it went to Joel Servatius. See FILING WEEK, A23

Lucas Yonkman, a candidate for Oak Harbor City Council, was among more than 40 people to file for an open public office in Island County this week. Filing Week ends Friday.

Kratos will lose his yard with the beautiful view of the water — not that he cares about that sort of thing — but he will gain spacious living quarters in a spot that’s more convenient for people to visit. That is, unless someone adopts the sweet, giant-headed pit bull before the big move, planned for September. Oak Harbor officials finally found a new site for the city animal shelter. Last week, Oak Harbor City Council members approved a lease agreement with an option to purchase the Freedom Kennels on Goldie Road. The acquisition will cost the city $2,500 a month, plus an additional $10,000 for the option to purchase. If all goes well, the city expects to remodel the kennels at a cost of up to $20,000 prior to the move. “It would be really nice to be off the base and somewhere that has better access,” said Shari Bibich, shelter manager for Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation. The group, commonly called WAIF, manages the city’s current dog-and-cat pound. The city has struggled with the animalshelter issue for years. The city’s current shelter is housed in a decrepit building on the Navy’s Seaplane base. The facility has inadequate space, See ANIMAL SHELTER, A15

Archaeological consultant to help decide plant’s location By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Two consulting firms will help the city of Oak Harbor decide where to build the new $93.5-million wastewater treatment plant. Oak Harbor City Council approved separate professional services agreements last week with an archaeological firm and a company that provides real estate and property services.

City officials are concerned about the possibility of finding cultural resources while building the treatment plant. Workers unearthed a Native American burial ground during construction on Pioneer Way two years ago, which has cost the city millions of dollars. Site of the new wastewater treatment plant is just blocks away. Last year, the City Council voted to site the plant in the gen-

Three on the hook for Cart leads to theft suspect’s arrest theft of fishing rod, Amateur sleuth tracks laundromat burglary followed from burglary By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Three people are suspected in an April 23 laundromat burglary and a car prowl in Langley. An officer with the Langley Police Department arrested the three suspects as they were driving around town with a fishing rod that was allegedly stolen from a car, according to the police report. The suspects are identified as Susan C. Soley, 29, of Everett; Jerry F. Goodwill, 46, of Marysville; and Steven J. Rodger, 31, of Clinton. Prosecutors charged each suspect in Island County Superior Court April 25 with burglary in the second degree, vehicle prowl in the second degree and theft in the third degree. A resident of Second Street

reportedly saw the suspects’ vehicle pull up next to her parked car. A person in a hoodie got out of the car and broke into her vehicle. The resident told police she yelled at the suspects, who drove away. The woman reported that multiple items were stolen, including a Shakespeare fishing rod. The officer stopped the suspects’ car about 10 minutes after receiving the 9-1-1 call from the victim. The officer found the fishing rod in the suspects’ car, according to the report. After arresting the three suspects, the officer discovered that the All Washed Up laundromat was burglarized. A security video showed three people matching the suspects burglarizing the laundromat, the report states.

Woman beats two men with bamboo By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A Clinton woman was arrested for seriously injuring two men by beating them with a bamboo cane last week, according to Island County Superior Court documents. Prosecutors charged Stefany J. Cornett in Superior Court on May 7 with two counts of assault in the second degree. On May 3, Judge Alan Hancock set Cornett’s bail at $10,000. Cornett, 21, allegedly attacked her two roommates

as they walked down the driveway of the Hideaway Lane home, according to the report by Deputy Scott Davis with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. She called one of the men “a backstabber” before attacking him, according to police reports. Cornett struck both men numerous times with the 4-foot stick. One of the men suffered a serious fracture to his cheek and eye socket; the other sustained head lacerations and a possible broken hand, according to the report.

A cart track led an amateur investigator to the home of an alleged South Whidbey burglar, court documents indicate. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown sent out a press release last month, asking for the public’s help in locating Robert Burns. Burns, 25, was identified as a suspect in a Scatchet Head burglary, the sheriff said. Burns was taken into cus-

tody a few days later. Prosecutors charged Burns in Island County Superior Court April 30 with possession of stolen property. If convicted of the charge, Burns could face from two to five months in jail under the standard sentencing range. A burglary at a Swede Hill Road home was reported on Jan. 15. A shotgun, a .22 rifle, a computer, a TV, an antique spyglass, a rug, beer and a prescription pad were among the items stolen, according to the report by Lt. Evan Tinsgstad with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. According to the deputy’s report, the home was bur-

Robert Burns glarized three times previously. The last time, the burglar used a wooded garden cart to haul the loot away, deer wandering near the intersection of Highway 20 and Southwest Barrington Drive. At 11 a.m., a North Oak Harbor Street resident reported someone punctured the tires on her vehicle.

but the cart was left behind. Tingstad checked the garage and found that the cart was missing, but didn’t find any cart trails. A couple of days later, a girl was horseback riding and saw the cart trail in the thick frost. Her mother followed the trail to a Scatchet Head neighborhood and found the stolen cart next to a house.

Unexplained blaze destroys Langley home By Jim Larsen Record editor

Nobody may ever know the exact cause of a fire that destroyed a home in Langley late Friday afternoon. The next day there was little but charred, crumbled remains of the home at 460 Anthes Ave. The garage where the blaze started was attacked using a backhoe that was employed during the firefighting effort, possibly eliminating evidence of where the fire originated. Three people, four dogs and a number of cats escaped before the garage erupted into flames. A downstairs tenant was outside at the time of the fire. “We don’t know if we’ll ever know the cause due to the extent of the damage,” said Paul Busch, South Whidbey Fire/EMS assistant chief, on Monday. It is known that the fire started in the garage, and it was hard to extinguish because the structure was filled with books. The fire crawled across an open causeway to reach the house, which also went up in flames. The fire was reported at about 6:30 p.m. and the first firefighters arrived nine minutes later, Busch said. “The garage was already collapsing,” he said. “We had to get a car fire out to get close enough to work.” Firefighters sprayed a hose directly into the burned car to prevent a gasoline explosion. Busch called the response time “about average.” He’s

Jim Larsen / Record Editor

This was the scene moments after the first firefighters arrived to fight a house fire on Anthes Avenue in Langley late Friday afternoon. The house appeared to be a total loss by 7 p.m. but a woman and her two grandchildren got out unharmed. heard complaints the response was slow, but he said the response time is “electronically stamped.” A private insurance investigator was due to be on the scene Monday, Busch said. South Whidbey Fire/EMS investigations are conducted by Chief Rusty Palmer, who was on vacation in Mexico when the fire broke out. He was due to be home Tuesday. South Whidbey Fire/ EMS threw everything it had at the stubborn blaze, but even after 20 minutes of

battle flames were still licking above the roof of the house, located about block up the hill from the United Methodist Church. Homeowner Maralie Johnson stood on the edge of the street with her grandchildren by her side as she watched everything she owned go up in a haze of smoke and flames. “We don’t know,” she said, when asked how the fire started. “It started in the garage and my grandson said ‘the house is on fire!’” Her grandson, Ryan

Russell, 14, said he smelled smoke and told everyone to leave. He dialed 9-1-1. Emmalee Russell, 8, ran outside with her grandmother and brother. Downstairs tenant Vicki Lanning said she was outside weeding the garden. She was too shaken to talk much about it. Johnson said there were a number of cats in the house and she was not certain they were all accounted for. “I hope they’re all out,” she said. Assistant Chief Busch laster said all but one cat had

been accounted for. “It probably ran for the hills,” he said. Johnson appeared to take in the scene rather calmly. “I believe God will take care of me but I tell you I’m upset,” she said. Already two people had offered the family a place to spend the night. Anthes Avenue was lined with at least four fire engines, a couple of tankers, rescue vans, and ambulance and miscellaneous equipment. Two firefighters on top of a fire trucks trained high arcs of water from water cannon on the house as others hosed

it down from the ground. Ladders were brought in to gain entry to the upper level. Reserve Langley Police Officer Leif Erickson, who is an Island County Sheriff’s deputy in his full-time job, was the first emergency responder to arrive. He said the occupants were already outside but he helped get some animals out. “The smoke was coming out of the garage,” he said. The roof of the garage soon caved in as the rest of the house was smoldering. Townsfolk lined the avenue by the dozen, chatting, hugging and taking pictures. Marci Wiley, a Langley resident, said she had just come home from the mainland when saw “a huge black cloud,” hovering. She couldn’t resist stopping to see what was going on. By 7:30 p.m. firefighters were still dealing with billowing steam and smoke. There was no doubt they had a long night ahead of them. A rehab area was established for firefighters who had gone through one tank of oxygen. Law requires that they are checked out before going back to firefighting, Busch said. He was appreciative of Mo’s Pub, which brought hot dogs to the famished firefighters. “They brought down a whole bunch at the end,” he said. “Those hot dogs didn’t last long.” Busch said the firefighting effort ended at about 10:30 p.m. and it took firefighters until midnight to stow away their gear and head for home. He estimated the damage at $250,000, emphasizing that was only “wild guess.”

Water festival honors tribe history Biz Expo expands The Penn Cove Water Festival welcomes Native American canoe clubs to race on Saturday, May 18, for the 22nd annual celebration at the Coupeville Wharf. Held in downtown Coupeville, the festival allows guests to relive history while honoring ancestors and those who first hosted the festival in the 1930s. The event was an annual affair until it was cancelled during World War II and then resumed 21 years ago. “The festival celebrates Native American canoe races and is a Whidbey legacy,” said operations manager Teresa Ellis. The races are reminiscent of native competitions of the past, fostering a spirit of neighborliness throughout history. Tribal people living on Whidbey Island enjoyed the camaraderie of racing against neighboring tribes. The Water Festival pro-

Lavender farmer appointed to county board By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Central Whidbey farmer Sarah Richards was appointed to the Conservation Futures Citizen Advisory Board this week. Richards was selected by unanimous 2-0 vote of the Island County Board of Commissioners Monday to fill one of two positions within the Coupeville School District boundaries. Richards was not present at the meeting but said later that she was excited about the appointment “I’m really looking forward to serving with the board and continuing the good work that’s on gone before,” she said. The Conservation Futures Fund is a state-authorized and optional property tax. The fund is used to purchase open space, farmland, agricultural land, and timberland for purposes of conservation. Richards owns and operates a lavender farm just north of Coupeville as

well as a store in Coupeville. She currently serves on the Whidbey Island Conservation District’s board and is former member of the Northwest Agricultural Business Center’s board of directors and a past president of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. Coupeville resident Gary Wray also applied for the position. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson thanked him for his interest, but cast her vote for Richards largely, she explained, because of Richards’ farming experience. “It is with that agricultural background that has moved me to recommend her as the appointee for that position,” Price Johnson said. Wray, at times a vocal critic of board proposals, including 2010’s failed Proposition 1, is president of the Skagit Island Counties Building Association, past president of Island County Habitat for Humanity and a member of the Island County Housing Authority and Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers.

“A high percentage of Island County taxpayers would like to see conservation futures tax sun-setted or eliminated, Wray said in his letter of interest. “I would be the voice for these citizens on the board.” Commissioner Jill Johnson said she leaned toward supporting Wray for the appointment. Experience in the development industry and a perspective on the future uses of protected lands is something Johnson said she would like to see more of on the advisory committee. Johnson added, however, that Richards is an excellent candidate too, and agreed to support Price Johnson’s recommendation as the seat represents a geographical area within the District No. 1 boundaries. “I respect your choice,” Johnson said. “I think Sarah Richards brings a lot to the table.” Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson was out of state and did not participate in the meeting.

HANGING BASKETS

An annual event showcasing the businesses operating on Whidbey Island is changing its name and expanding its focus. The Biz Expo, which takes place in the fall and organized by the Island County Economic Development Council, will now be known as the “Explore Whidbey: Business and Home Show.” Sami Postma, executive assistant at the Island County Economic Development Council, said the name change is necessary because of a perception in the community that the former Biz Expo was a business-tobusiness event even though the public was invited to the event. She said organizers want to expand the event to include nonprofit and community groups. The 2013 incarnation of the event will feature a large demonstration area for the participating nonprofits an businesses to utilize. The Explore Whidbey: Business and Home Show has gone through several name changes over the years. The two-day event was known at the Uniquely Whidbey Biz Expo eventually became the Biz Expo before organizers changed the name this year. The goal of the expo

It also provides vendors with a chance to connect with potential customers they normally wouldn’t outside the event, Postma said. Last year around 60 businesses participated in the event that took place at Oak Harbor High School. The expo for years had been one of the featured events in Coupeville during the fall and took place in the Coupeville Middle and High School gymnasium. Postma said that changed last year when it moved to Oak Harbor High School. She cited several reasons for the move. The Oak Harbor area offers a larger population and it provided a better connection with the transient Navy population. Oak Harbor High School offers more room for growth and easier access off island.

IN OUR OPINION

Hang on to those moments as long as you can, parents publisher’s column

By Keven R. Graves

Watching my son play rugby this past weekend, suffering his first loss of an otherwise perfect season, was bittersweet in many ways. Aside from the loss, which took the team out of the state playoffs, it was the culmination of many years of trekking to games all over the state to cheer on my son. Liam will be 18 in a couple of weeks, and he walks down the aisle at graduation about a week later. From age 4, when Liam showed promise in Tee-ball, the die was cast. While the Little League and Cal Ripken League games were held in town, what quickly followed were years of weekends planned around baseball games and tournaments. For three or four months out of the year, our social circle centered around the other parents and grandparents in the bleachers and along the sides of the baseball diamonds. We quickly learned to keep the car packed with all of the supplies necessary to not be miserable in the event of extreme cold or rain. We had the folding chairs, blankets for sitting on and covering up, hand warmers, gloves, hats, case of water. Preparation is the key to comfort. There were countless meals of chewy hamburgers, overcooked hot dogs, horrible tasting coffee and ball park popcorn. Sometimes the boys played on perfectly manicured fields, sometimes they had to be careful not to stumble over rocks and into holes. We were the kind of parents who told our son to play his best and not focus on position or the amount of time he got to play. “It’s a game,” I would tell him. “The point is to have fun and be part of a team.” Of course, there were other parents along the field who believed differently, and they made sure their voices See Graves, A7

Clings would help target spending Editor, In reference to the idea that businesses should be able to refuse service to whomever they choose, I’m sorry to say I agree. They should be able to pick to whom they offer their services. I also wholeheartedly agree that there should be some way to readily identify those businesses. I love the idea of window cling or something similar that they can proudly display to show their views. It will help me readily identify which stores in town will get my dollars and which will not.

Editor; I thank Mr. Van Voorst for his letter asking (for) more boisterous support of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. There was one point that Mr. Van Voorst raised that I feel needs empathizing, namely the NAS Whidbey encroachers’ desire to close NAS Whidbey Island. One only need Google, “Repeated calls to the base and the liaison there are

a total waste of time. I’m so glad to be spending my summer in Canada, out of the Evil Empire. Besides, those planes and pilots are obsolete in the Drone Age. Close the Base.” That’s Ken Pickard last summer stating his agenda being to “close the base” because, as Pickard said later in the comment thread, “The NAS Base keeps the island dysfunctional.” Perhaps if Mr. Pickard and his compatriots would like to receive eminent domain, then by all means, keep complaining. Those of us who live in Sedro Woolley, Seattle, Springfield, Mass. and Sarasota, Fla. really do not want to spend hundreds of millions in taxes on a new outlying field instead of tens of millions removSee MORE Letters, A7

were heard by the coaches and their children. Liam grew eventually grew tired of baseball. Like us, he was worn down by the parental politics that hung over every practice and game like a storm cloud. Four years ago, a rugby team formed where we were living. I told Liam I would pay him $100 to play and complete the season. A bonafide bribe. I told Liam that, if he didn’t like the sport after the first season, he wouldn’t have to play again. Since that first year, Liam has practiced and played rugby more than half of the year, and the “brotherhood” embodied by the sport has appealed to his sense of loyalty and teamwork. I attended most of Liam’s practices and rugby games, but that waned as he started driving, and even more after I accepted this job on Whidbey Island. After Saturday’s loss, I joined other parents and supporters in forming a tunnel through which the players would pass and give high fives. Liam came through the line first. I was proud that he had played his heart out, but I could see the disappointment in his face and body language. I was toward the end of the line. Liam came over to me, threw his arms around me and held me tight. For just one more moment before venturing into the real world, he was my little boy. I cherish that moment, as I do all of the times spent at countless sports field in the rain, wind and blistering summer heat. Those are the moments that parents would hang on to forever if they could.

ular business of running the city’s government. Theocracy has been abolished in the United States when the founders wrote the Constitution. Religion and government do not mix well. We may need all the help we can get to maintain our democracy, but disrespecting the nonreligious in a public forum is not one of them. It is merely divisive and undermines a sense of community.

The decision to sue City of Oak Harbor is not Cladoosby’s alone Editor, Regarding the letter by Rollanda Sitko in the Whidbey News-Times on May 1 entitled “Can’t afford to support tribal casino suing city,” the City of Oak Harbor was warned by archaeologists that there is a burial ground in the area of Pioneer Way. You can’t expect the tribe to know where all their ancestors are buried. Remember, this was once their land, and I mean all of it. The city failed to heed this very important issue and warning.

How would you feel if the grave site of your loved ones was moved or vandalized without your permission? I would be livid if it happened to me. So, you’re going to punish yourself by not taking advantage of the Swinomish’s fine restaurant which, by the way, is usually a losing entity of the operation. When you revealed that you did not know there was a burial ground, I took that to mean you must have selective reading as it was reported that the site was there. I have known Brian Cladoosby as a good man as well as the other council members. What happened is not Cladoosby’s sole decision. There is the entire council. Being a sovereign nation means a government within a government. The tribes try to be self-sufficient with their entities. People like you have absolutely no knowledge of tribal affairs. What you don’t understand is the casino employees are probably 60 percent non-Native American. Employees are most likely 20 percent from Oak Harbor, at least under my administration. Should they dismiss those employees that would be a real problem. I know this because I was their general manager for four years. I am a caucasian from Las Vegas who retired to Oak Harbor.

Items lawmakers should include in the 2013-15 budget By Jason Mercier

Governor Inslee has called a 30-day Special Session to begin on May 13th so that lawmakers Mercier can complete their unfinished work on the 2013-15 state budget. One of the major sticking points in ongoing budget negotiations is the House’s controversial decision to propose more than $1 billion in job killing tax increases. This despite an estimated $2 billion increase in forecasted revenue growth, voters’ 64 percent statewide approval for the fifth time of the requirement for tax increases to receive a 2/3 vote, and Governor Inslee’s campaign promise that he would not seek tax increases. With that in mind, here are five things lawmakers should focus on as they work to finish the budget:

1. Keep the promise that “temporary” taxes will be temporary. Lawmakers promised taxpayers in 2010 that several “temporary” tax increases they enacted would expire on June 30, 2013. Business owners across the state have built this into their financial planning and expect our political leaders to keep their word. Though Governor Inslee has sought to redefine the definition of “tax increase” to exclude breaking the promise of allowing temporary tax increases to expire, at a minimum making “temporary” taxes permanent breaks faith with Washingtonians and should be avoided. 2. Listen to the clear will of voters on taxes. On five separate occasions over the past 20 years the people of Washington have consistently said they want lawmakers to agree on a broad-based bipartisan supermajority vote to raise taxes, or they should send proposed tax increases to the voters for approval. Regardless of the Supreme Court’s action

striking down that restriction, the Legislature should at a minimum refer any tax increases that can’t secure a supermajority vote to the people for approval.

revenue growth and a still-tentative economy, now is not the time to raid the state’s small emergency reserve fund. Leave the emergency reserve for a true emergency.

3. Avoid budget gimmicks. To avoid the possibility of further action needed to re-balance the budget in the near future and to protect the state’s credit rating, lawmakers should avoid relying on budget moves like dedicated fund raids, agency reversions, and a small unrestricted ending fund balance. The focus should be on aligning ongoing increases in state spending with ongoing increases in forecasted tax revenue.

5. Adopt a performance-based budget that really balances over four years. The 2013-15 state budget is the first one that is subject to the state’s new four-year balanced budget requirement. Past budgets projected shortfalls the day after the regular two-year budget period ended. Along with linking spending to real performance outcomes (as several provisos in the House and Senate budgets currently do), lawmakers should ensure the final 2013-15 budget has a “clean” balance sheet with no gimmicks, defensible revenue assumptions and enough reserves to be truly in balance for four-years.

4. Save the protected emergency reserve for a true budget emergency. Voters wisely created a constitutionally protected emergency budget reserve in 2007 because lawmakers were unable to restrain themselves from using it for non-emergency spending. With more than $2 billion in forecasted

D’Almeida places 3rd in district tournament Coupeville High School’s Amanda d’Almeida finished third in the 1A Northwest District tennis tournament Thursday and Saturday at South Whidbey High School, just missing a berth in the tri-district tournament. Coupeville’s three other district entries were eliminated after round two of the double-elimination tournament. D’Almeida, who previously won three consecutive district doubles

titles, competed in singles this spring and fell to South Whidbey’s Newman sisters, Hayley and Carly. She opened the competition with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Blaine’s Elizabeth Berry. She then lost to eventual champion Hayley Newman 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals. Dropped into the consolation bracket, d’Almeida stopped Abbi Steele of Nooksack Valley 6-1, 6-0 and Blaine’s Saskia Dolk 6-1, 7-5. That put d’Almeida in the match for second place with Carly Newman; Newman won 6-1, 7-6(7-3). Coupeville coach Ken Stange called the win over Dolk “perhaps Amanda’s best win of the season.” Dolk defeated d’Almeida earlier in the season. In the rematch, d’Almeida dominated the first set and then was forced to adjust as Dolk changed strategy in the second. When the second set went into a tie-breaker, d’Almeida “did what she has always done well,” Stange said. “She played each shot like it was a move in a game of chess.” D’Almeida fell behind early in the match with Carly Newman, then recovered to push the second set to a tie-breaker. In other singles action, senior Iris Rychaert lost 6-1, 6-0 to Carly Newman and 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 to Steele.

Offense returns in time to give Coupeville win at district By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Coupeville High School softball team’s offense returned from vacation just in time to help the Wolves pick up a win in the district tournament at Sedro-Woolley’s Janiki Fields Friday and Saturday. The Wolves entered the tournament after producing only one run and seven hits in their final two regular season games. The bats continued to be on leave in the tournament opener as Coupeville slapped just two hits in a 2-0 loss to Lynden Christian. When Meridian scored four runs in the first inning of the second round, loser-out game, the Wolves looked to be in deep trouble. But the offense finally returned back to work, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to pull out a 5-4 win. Coupeville, needing to win one more game to earn a tri-district berth, generated some offense against No. 1 seeded Blaine but couldn’t slow the Borderites, losing 9-5 Saturday. Against Lynden Christian, Madi

Roberts led off the fourth with a single, but three ground outs ended the threat. Bessie Walstad started the next inning with Coupeville’ other hit, but she was erased on a double play. Those were the Wolves’ only base runners as Lyncs’ pitcher Bridget Kruck faced only one hitter over the minimum. LC, which had only four hits itself off pitchers McKayla Bailey and Maria Rockwell, scored in the fifth on a leadoff walk and two-out single. A walk, sacrifice and a wild pitch produced the run in the seventh. In Friday’s second game, Meridian exploded for four runs in the first inning. After three runs had crossed, Bailey took over in the circle for Coupeville and blanked the Trojans from the second inning on. Meanwhile, Coupeville’s offense continued to put zeros on the board until the fifth. The inning started with a strikeout, then Haley Sherman boarded on an error. Chevy Reyes and Roberts singled to load the bases. After a force out at the plate,

first two hitters aboard in the fourth but again failed to score. Blaine took command with a four-run fourth, going up 7-2. The damage could have been worse but the Wolves’ leftfielder Roberts, third baseman Hammer and catcher Messner turned an unusual 7-5-2-52-5 double play to stop the rally. In the fifth, Walstad and Hammer singled, but once again Coupeville failed to get the clutch hit to drive in the runners. In the sixth, Sherman singled and Roberts finally gave Coupeville a big hit, a two-run home run with two outs. Blaine, however, used two walks and two hits to score two more runs. In the seventh, senior Walstad collected her third hit of the game. (She went 7-for-9 for the tournament.) Rockwell, the Wolves’ only other senior, walked. After an out, Bailey singled in Walstad for the final run. Co-coach David King said, “This team never gave up...and battled to the very end.’”

Statues of children point to blank markers at Prowler Memorial Park at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Among the 52 Naval aviators’ names etched in stone who lost their lives aboard EA-6B Prowlers is Cdr. Peter Rodrick, whose plane crashed into the Indian Ocean in 1979, leaving behind his family in Oak Harbor.

Reluctant return It took Stephen Rodrick 30 years to face his past in Oak Harbor. His homecoming evoked deep emotions — and his first book

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

When Stephen Rodrick returned to Oak Harbor and started unpeeling layers from his past, part of him became a frightened 13-year-old boy again. He’d always dreaded the idea of coming back, avoiding such a return for three decades. But on this occasion, in July of 2009, he was back by invitation, facing his fears head on, and his feelings were hard to contain. “The whole trip back was very emotional,” Rodrick said. “It was not easy to go back to places where some of my family’s darkest memories took place.” Rodrick is now 46 and an accomplished magazine writer and editor living in Los Angeles. He recently finished the book, “The Magical Stranger,” and will read passages from it at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at one of his old childhood hangouts, the Oak Harbor Library. The public is invited.

‘The Magical Stranger’ is the first book by Stephen Rodrick, who was 13 and living in Oak Harbor with his two sisters and mother when his father died. Rodrick will speak at the Oak Harbor Library Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Rodrick is comfortable again on Whidbey Island and is “falling back in love with the area,” the result of spending several months around

Oak Harbor and Anacortes doing research for his book over three years. But to get to this stage, he had to

be brave enough to revisit the past. Rodrick’s world, and that of his See Author, A12

mother, two sisters, and three other families, were forever altered when his father’s Naval aircraft flew into the Indian Ocean on Nov. 28, 1979, killing all four aviators aboard. Cdr. Peter Rodrick was 36 at the time and had been a squadron commander of the VAQ-135 “WorldFamous Black Ravens” for 127 days when the accident occurred. Stephen Rodrick’s profession is to craft captivating stories as a contributing writer for New York Times Magazine and contributing editor at Men’s Journal, however, he has spent much of his career avoiding the idea of chronicling his family’s own personal heartache. That changed after he got an invitation to attend a change of command ceremony for VAQ-135 at the Whidbey base on July 2, 2009, two days shy of his dad’s 30-year anniversary of taking command of that very same squadron. The invitation was in response to an email inquiry he made to order VAQ-135 coffee mugs for his mother to replace the worn, discolored cup she had kept and still used for nearly 30 years. Cdr. Brent “Doogie” Breining, commander of VAQ-135 at the time, invited Rodrick to come to the ceremony that would lead to James Hunter “Tupper” Ware III taking over command of the squadron.

He reluctantly agreed, attended the ceremony, met members of the “Black Ravens” and started on a path that would cover multiple visits to Whidbey Island over three years and lead to his first book. Ware invited Rodrick to spend 18 months with RODRICK: the squadron Author will be as it toured guest at Oak Harbor Library the world aboard the Thursday at USS Nimitz. 6:30 p.m. Rodrick traveled to Hawaii, Okinawa and the Persian Gulf, stood on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, and survived survival training as well as upside down trips in the cockpit of an EA-6B Prowler over the Cascade Mountains. Rodrick’s craving to learn more about his father and better understand his love for the Navy was the impetus of the book. However, he didn’t want to write the book based on his own faded memories of the “Magical Stranger” who was gone so often during his youth. He followed Ware to offer a parallel, modern-day account of Navy life that reflected similar themes. “That’s why I wanted to follow

Peter Rodrick died while piloting a Naval aircraft in the Indian Ocean in November, 1979. Remains of Rodrick and three other aviators were never found; all that was visible at the crash site was an oil slick and floating helmet. the modern squadron,” Rodrick said. “I didn’t want it to be just about my recollections. I wanted it to be a more universal look at what happens when heroes are gone for six months, or in my situation, how do we cope when heroes don’t come home? “The book is mostly about the squadron, and it concentrates on Hunter’s career and reaching the pinnacle of a Navy career by becoming commander of a squadron, yet is still kind of heartbroken

about it because it means missing another entire school year.” Rodrick called the experience of returning to Oak Harbor and facing difficult memories as cathartic. Other than a quick drive-through town following a sportswriting assignment to cover former Washington State University quarterback Ryan Leaf’s NFL audition called “Pro Day” in Pullman in 1998, Rodrick hadn’t been back to Oak Harbor since the spring of 1980. That’s when his mother packed up and moved the family to Flint, Mich., to be near relatives. In the book, Rodrick said his mother never dated again after her husband’s accident. At Prowler Memorial Park on the Whidbey Island base, there are markers of the four killed in the EA-6B Prowler crash in 1979. The park is a short walk across the street from the VAQ-135 hangar. Stephen Rodrick remembers the emotions he felt when he placed his hand for the first time on his dad’s marker in 2009, 30 years after his dad’s death. During that visit, he also went back and sat on a bench at the Roller Barn, the place where he roller-skated during his five years growing up in Oak Harbor. He was sitting on that bench when he was told of his father’s accident in 1979. Though painful, these were necessary experiences for Rodrick. He is relieved he came back to

Whidbey Island to face the past. And he is grateful to VAQ-135 for the chance he got to retrace his dad’s footsteps and understand his passion for the Navy. There also is a passage in his book dedicated to the four Whidbey-based Naval aviators from VAQ-129 who lost their lives in a Prowler about 50 miles west of Spokane in March. The book proved to be healing for the author who for years had fantasized that his father was just on an extended leave and would magically return one day. “It brought me to a much greater understanding of him as a flesh and blood human being,” Rodrick said. “After my father died, his picture was in our house. We had the flag from a grateful nation. He seemed other-worldly. “Walking a little bit in his footsteps and following the squadron gave me a little better understanding about what his day-to-day life was like. I’m very grateful.” A website for the book, including a video interview with Stephen Rodrick, and photo gallery may be seen at www.themagicalstranger.com Reach Whidbey News-Times staff reporter Ron Newberry at 360-6756611 (ext. 5070), or rnewberry@ whidbeynewsgroup.com

Town turns purple

Ribbons, bows mean Relay for Life event not far away By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

This purple thing can be a little confusing. Saturday’s “Paint Whidbey Purple” event was not a tribute to the Oak Harbor High School Wildcats, who bear the same colors. It’s a reminder that Whidbey Island’s Relay for Life is fast approaching. The overnight event that benefits the American Cancer Society is May 31 through June 1 at North Whidbey Middle School in Oak Harbor. On Saturday, teams were holding fundraising rummage sales and dressing up

Oak Harbor with 650 purple ribbons and bows. The largest and most visible bazaar was held in the Oak Harbor School District parking lot along Highway 20. “We are amazed how many people are unaware what it is,” said Christine Cribb, Oak Harbor School District board member who also is part of the Relay for Life planning committee. “The problem is the high school colors are purple,” said Leandra Reuble, co-chair for Whidbey Island Relay for Life. Cribb and her three children, Dylan, Lexy and Lauren

are in their sixth year of Relay for Life involvement. Dylan and Lexy joined fellow Oak Harbor High School student Sonia DeMarsh in decorating the town purple Saturday, tying ribbons on to light poles and other objects. The OHHS Wildcats Relay for Life team has joined forces with Midway High School, the alternate high school, for one combined massive team. So far, 73 teams have signed up for Whidbey’s Relay for Life event with more than $87,000 raised. Karla Sharkey, event co-chair, said the goal was for 95 teams and $210,000 raised.

Field of county planner candidates narrowed to four Island County may have a new planning chief as soon as next week. The Board of Commissioners interviewed four finalists during two closed-door interviews Monday. The commissioners are expected to hold two more later this week. If all goes well, the commissioners said they hope to make a selection during their next regular business meeting, Monday, May 20. However, a decision will not be rushed, said Commissioner Kelly Emerson, board chairwoman. “We would all like to see this happen sooner rather than later,” Emerson said. “We’ve been stretched pretty thin. But we’re not going to act in haste; it’s too important of a decision.”

The board may opt to hold additional interviews, if required, she said. That decision would also be decided during next week’s meeting. Bob Pederson, former director of Island County Planning and Community Development, resigned in March. Keith Higman, who leads the health and natural resources departments, has filled in ever since. According to Melanie Bacon, director of Island County Human Resources, a total of 29 applications were received. That list was whittled to 10 candidates by the commissioners and further reduced to four finalists by an advisory committee. The group consists of Higman, Public Works Director Bill Oakes, Dan Mitchell, of the Island County Prosecutor’s

Office, and South Whidbey resident Jack Lynch, a retired planning chief for King County. “Clearly a very competent and engaged group of people,” Bacon said. While appointing replacements for elected positions is a very open process, with interviews conducted in public, the hiring of department heads is generally more closed. The decision is made in open session but interviews and the names of other applicants are not released. Emerson said that all four finalists have planning experience in Washington state and have comparable skill sets. “I think it’s a real good list,” she said. “I feel confident that we will see our next planning director come out of this group.”

Animal shelter CONTINUED FROM A1 improper ventilation and no bathroom for workers. It’s hidden away next to a beach on the Seaplane Base. With tightened base security measures, access to the current animal shelter is a perennial problem for both workers and those looking to adopt pets. Under an agreement with the city, the Navy provided the shelter in exchange for animal control services. The Navy acknowledges problems with the building and announced last year that is closing down the shelter. The city has until the end of September to relocate. The city has sought an alternative facility for years. In December, city officials issued a request for proposals for animal control management and operations services. City officials said they were looking for someone to both provide and operate an

animal shelter. Instead, officials decided that purchasing the Freedom Kennels may be the solution to their facility problem. City Administrator Larry Cort said the three-year lease with option to purchase gives the city time to evaluate the facility. “This could be our longterm solution,” he said. Freedom Kennels has been in use since 1976 and “has been reasonably well maintained given the building’s age,” said Cort. It has 40 heated spaces for dogs, offers access to short outdoor runs. A small doggrooming room will be converted into a cat room. Cort said city officials have worked with people from WAIF — the likely contractor to operate the facility ‚Äî and identified modifications necessary to convert the building into a public animal shelter.

Cort said the work will likely cost an estimated $15,000 to $20,000. The lease will cost $2,500 a month, plus the city will pay half the property taxes and all the utilities bills. The city secured the option for purchase for $10,000. If the city ends up purchasing the property, the $10,000 will be used towards the sale price. The agreed-upon price for the property is $267,000, which is the assessed value. The kennel is on 7.2 acres, most of which is wooded. Cort explained that the city won’t have access to the woods during the lease period, but it would be part of the purchase. He said he’s not sure what the city may do with the woods beyond creating dog-walking trails. As for Kratos, the move may be a godsend given the near-constant traffic of potential adoptive families

since arriving as a stray in August of 2012, which makes him the longest resident of

the facility. He’s more than ready for a permanent home.

FILING WEEK CONTINUED FROM A1 SERVATIUS confirmed Tuesday morning his intention to file later this week. He is being challenged by Sandi Peterson, who filed Monday morning. The race for Position 4 is also contested. Lucas Yonkman is challenging incumbent Bob Severns. Both men filed for the position Monday. Danny Paggao, who has held a seat on the council for more than 20 years, also filed for reelection to Position 7. It’s now the only race on the council with no known challengers.

term. He was appointed in 2011 to fill a vacancy left by Tom Tack, who resigned. Cort’s job in Oak Harbor changed, however, and the two positions are just too much, he said. “A lot of regret in the decision but one I felt I had to make,” Cort Said. The only other Coupeville seat up for grabs is Position 4, which is currently held by Dianne Binder. As of end of day Monday, she was the only person to file for the position.

WHIDBEY CAMANO Land Trust Director Pat Powell was another unexpected filer. She put in a bid for Position 5 on the Coupeville Town Council. The seat is held by Larry Cort, who also wears the hat of Oak Harbor City Administrator. Powell could not be reached for comment but she did say in an email that she moved into town last year and has been looking for a way to give back. She decided to run after learning that Cort was not seeking reelection. “I really admire the work of the Mayor and Town Council and thought perhaps I could add value to the council with my background in land use planning, legal documents, contracts and budgets,” Powell wrote. Cort confirmed Tuesday morning that he is not running for another

PORT OF Coupeville Executive Director Jim Patton offered another surprise. He filed for the District 2 seat on the port’s board of commissioners. It’s currently held by long-time Commissioner Benye Weber. “I’ve got no political aspirations, but I’ve got my teeth into this thing,” said Patton, referring to the many past and present projects at the port. “We’ve got some unfinished business,” he said. Weber is finishing her second sixyear term and decided not to seek re-election this November. Patton confirmed plans to step down as executive director this December, regardless of the election results. The port’s District 3 seat is also open and is being pursued by Mike Diamanti. The position was formerly held by Laura Blankenship, who

resigned in April. NORTH WHIDBEY Park and Recreation District may also be an office to watch this November. Of the five seats on the board, four are up for election: Position 2, Position 3, Position 4 and Position 5. David Walton was the only person to have filed as of Monday. According to Michele Reagan with the Island County Auditor’s Office, Washington law exempts both cemetery and parks districts from the state’s top-two primary system. “It means they (candidates) all go to the November ballot, whether there is one or 30,” Reagan said. ON THE Oak Harbor School Board, two of five seats are up for election. Incumbents Corey Johnson, Position 4, and Gary Wallin, Position 5, have both filed but were uncontested Monday. Finally, in fire districts incumbent Bruce Carman will seek to retain Position 2 on North Whidbey Fire and Rescue’s board of commissioners as will Cheryl Engle for Position 2 with Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue. County wide, including cemetery districts, more than 40 people filed for open offices Monday. To keep tabs on who is running, visit www.islandcounty.net and click on the Island County Auditor’s web page. For candidates, the deadline for submitting declarations of candidacy, either online or in person, is 4 p.m. Friday, May 17.

Oak Harbor officials plan to build the sewage treatment plant in the vicinity of Windjammer Park.

MAP CONTINUED FROM A1 The contract is for $14,000, with a management reserve of $2,000. City Engineer Joe Stowell said the firm will develop a “sensitivity map” of the area based on existing studies, archival research and a pedestrian survey. The company will also screen sediments from excavations at four test areas, two for each proposed site. In addition, the council also approved a contract with Fullerton and Associates at a cost of $16,500, plus a management reserve of $3,500. The firm specializes in right-of-way acquisition and

relocation services. City officials decided to hire the real-estate experts because the sites being considered are all privately owned; council members have said they want to avoid using eminent domain to force property owners to sell. Stowell said the firm will review maps and property data; coordinate with an appraiser; prepare a “fair offer letter” to begin negotiations; and other work related to the identification and purchase of the preferred site. Stowell said the city plans to hold a charette with stakeholders and the community this summer to help identify the right property. Under the current timeline, the site is supposed to be finalize by the end of September.
