Swinomish Tribe lawsuit names job’s contractors
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community filed a class-action lawsuit this week against the city of Oak Harbor and three contractors over the desecration of an ancient burial ground during the Pioneer Way road-construction project two years ago. Nobody was surprised at the lawsuit, which
came after a $9-million complaint for damages and an offer to settle for $3.9 million and a piece of city property. However, the lawsuit’s inclusion of the three contractors — Strider Construction, Perteet and KBA — raises questions about their liability for the first time in the ongoing saga. It also raises another question: Why is the city See lawsuit filed, A14

Meeting planned on OLF concerns
Island biz offers new perspective Business on North Whidbey is reaching new heights this month with the addition of a skydiving drop zone. Long-time Kirkland skydiver Rick Mangan partnered with local businessman Jeremey Jackson to open Jet City Skydiving Center at Oak Harbor Airport, formally known as AJ Eisenberg Airport. Open less than a month, the drop zone offers tandem jumps to the general public. A tandem customer is strapped to a professional, giving him or her the chance to experience the thrill of falling through the air at about 160 mph without having to undergo formal training. “It changes the way you look at the rest of your life,” said Mangan, a skydiver with MANGAN: more than 2,500 jumps under his boots. “In my 35 years of “It has a way of changing your prospecskydiving, I’ve never tive.” Mangan, who works as an American skydived with an eagle sign language teacher at Bellevue before.” College, has owned drop zone businesses before. Jet City was founded in 2010 in Mount Vernon but the company lost its lease and had been on the search for a new home. Partnering up with Jackson, owner of Northwest Granite & Flooring, the team decided to open up shop in Oak Harbor. Jackson could not be reached for comment but Mangan, who owns his own plane, said it was quickly apparent that this was the right place. On one of his first jumps over Whidbey Island, he opened up and found himself flying alongside a bald eagle. Gliding just 50 feet way, Mangan said it was a unique experience. “In my 35 years of skydiving, I’ve never skydived with an eagle before,” said Mangan, recalling the event with an earto-ear grin.

Island County and Coupeville elected officials are meeting next week with citizens to hear concerns about jet noise from operations at the U.S. Navy’s Outlying Field. The meeting is 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 19 at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 N.W. Alexander St. Organized and hosted by Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, the meeting’s objective is to provide a forum for residents to publicly talk about jet noise and how it has changed in recent years. “We just want to provide an opportunity for people to come in person and voice their concerns,” Conard said. Complaints about jet noise over Central Whidbey are nothing new, in fact they are practically a seasonal pastime. This past year was different, however, as operations at the airstrip increase. Also, some residents claim the EA-18G Growler is louder See CONCERNS, A14

At least one Island County commissioner wants to see more money from the county’s clean water utility go to tangible projects. During a recent Island County work session, Commissioner Jill Johnson questioned how money collected through the county’s clean water utility is used. Johnson said she wanted to see more of the dollars raised to go toward projects and less about studying the conditions in Island County. “I think the community has an expectation for results,” Johnson said during the work session noting that the county has about $500,000 available from the clean water utility for capital projects. Island County in 2012 collected $1.46 million through the cleanwater utility, which is funded by a fee property owners pay. The owner of a residential lot will pay a $39.13 bill that will appear on their property tax statement. An owner of agricultural property would pay $29.35.
The fee pays for the county’s surface water monitoring efforts, Island County Critical Areas Ordinance code compliance, on-site sewer inspection and monitoring and the hydrogeology program. Island County Public Works Director Bill Oakes presented a prioritized list of projects that would repair the outfalls at several problem spots throughout Island County. That list accounted for approximately $3 million worth of projects on the two islands. The list presented is by no means complete. Oakes said his staff identified $10 million worth of water quality projects throughout the county. “Our systems are getting very old and we need to start replacing them,” Oakes said after the meeting. County officials are hoping to get one of those projects off the ground this year. An outfall on Maxwelton Road on South Whidbey isn’t functioning and, pending approval from state fish and wildlife along with the Army Corps of Engineers, they hope to undertake a $900,000 project
to replace a tide gate, trunk drain and install a pump station later in 2013. Oakes said the area is prone to winter flooding and the outfall has failed. Other drainage projects on the county hopes to undertake in the coming years will take place on Camano Island, Palmer Court, the Maxwelton Road north outfall and Mutiny Bay. Johnson noted that a significant amount of the money raised through the clean water utility goes toward monitoring. “When do we switch from understanding to finding solutions,” she said. Keith Higman, county health director, noted that Whidbey Island has a dynamic environment an water monitoring efforts will continue. Higman and Oakes presented the report about the clean water utility during the commissioners Wednesday work session. Oakes said staff is required by county code to provide a yearly update of the clean water utility.
IDIPIC gets $5,000 from State Farm State Farm Insurance Companies awarded a $5,000 grant to the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County at the organization’s annual appreciation luncheon in late May. The grant will help to cover some of the cost and materials used in IDIPIC’s work with middle school and driver’s education students. Besides DUI impact panels, IDIPIC offers comprehensive safety classes to
educate youth about the dangers of underage drinking, other drug use and ultimately driving under the influence. Classes range from elementary to high school and beyond. “Think, Don’t Drink, Drug and Drive” has been a popular safety seminar provided to driver’s education classes since 2002. It currently includes an impacting video, discussion on indicators of impairment, walk-the-line with the Fatal Vision impair-
ment goggles, a question and answer session and a verbal quiz. In addition to this instruction, panel attendance is required for all Whidbey driver’s education students by local driving instructors, and they must attend with one of their parents. Students not taught through a driving school are welcome to attend as well with parent. IDIPIC is a nonprofit established in 2000.

Errors threaten future of county’s treatment program By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Another error and new information about Island County Recovery Services spurred strong and decisive action by law-and-justice leaders this week. On Monday, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks, in cooperation with Superior Court judges Alan Hancock and Vickie Churchill, announced the immediate cessation of new defendants to the county’s drug courts. The action came on the heels of yet another error by the drug-and-alcohol treatment provider that nearly led to the unjust incarceration of a patient and the recent revelation that the provider has been under review by state regulators for months. “The latest incident and my knowledge of the (state) reports have pushed me one step closer to terminating the programs,” wrote Banks, in an email to the Board of Commissioners. “I am convinced that we are failing the public and our drug court participants by allowing them into our program with this treatment provider.” Under the umbrella of Island County Human Services, the drug and alcohol recovery center opened its doors in July of 2011. It offers out-patient services and acts as treatment provider for the county’s adult and juvenile drug courts. Human Services Director Jackie Henderson, who is also a Coupeville Town Council member, continued to defended the organization this week and its staff. She, along with Island County Recovery Services Manager Mark MacNaughton, cited a lack of resources — funding and staff — as the primary source of the treatment center’s shortcomings during the board’s Wednesday work session. And, in an unusual and bold move, Henderson also announced she would refuse to seek proposals from alternate treatment providers, even if directed to do so by the commissioners — her bosses. When asked by Commissioner Jill Johnson to clarify that position, Henderson responded, “With all due respect, that means I won’t do it.”
Faulty reports
Last month, drug court leaders made the equally unusual move of publicly charging the treatment center with a slew of allegations before the board. Citing issues from sexual miscon-
duct and the use of abusive language to repeated errors and tardy patient assessments, the group requested the board immediately begin looking for alternate service providers. Perhaps the most serious claims concerned instances when drug court patients were nearly sentenced to undeserved jail time based on incorrect information provided by recovery services professionals. According to Banks, a similar mistake happened again after the Whidbey News-Times ran a story in May that highlighted the many problems at the county treatment center. Banks said Hancock confronted a juvenile in court about missing a scheduled urinal analysis and, choosing to believe information provided by a counselor, ruled against the individual. It was learned at the last minute, however, that the report was false and the juvenile was telling the truth, Banks said. “It is astonishing to me that, after the very recent publicity about repeated occurrences of this identical fact pattern, it has happened again,” wrote Banks, in the Monday email to the board. “One would have thought that the current scrutiny by the public and the (commissioners) would have led to intense efforts at quality control by the Island Recovery staff.”
State oversight It’s also now clear that drug court officials, such as Banks and the Superior Court judges, are not the only ones with concerns. Information provided to the newspaper from a public records request to the state Department of Social and Health Services revealed the county treatment center has been under the close eye of state regulators for at least one year. According to Brian Barr, a certification field services manager with the state agency, new treatment providers are routinely reviewed following their first year of operations. That first look, an on-site technical assistance survey in June of 2012, identified a slew of “deficiencies” — instances in which records or practices did not comply with Washington’s Administrative Code. Recovery services was required to submit a corrective action plan in October, which it did, but subsequent visits by state monitors revealed the plan “has not been successfully implement-
the rest of our treatment.” While attempts are being made to improve some of the ongoing issues, such as investigating the use of an Oak Harbor lab for urine analysis, Henderson said she is willing to seek proposals for the drug court work only.
Last chance

Island County Human Services Director Jackie Henderson listens as Island County Recovery Services Manager Mark MacNaughton addresses the Board of Commissioners Wednesday. ed, or the corrections were not maintained.” For example, 60 percent of patient records last June were found to be in compliance for containing a chemical dependency assessment. By April 23 of this year, that number had only increased by 10 percent. Other areas saw backward progress. In June, 100 percent of patient records reviewed contained an individualized treatment plan but that number fell to 50 percent by April. Henderson said the records reviewed are just a fraction of all client files and that they can be misleading. “We have over 250 clients,” she said, adding that such deficiencies could be found throughout the industry. According to Barr, the problems are “significant” in that they are identified by law as being necessary for proving effective treatment. Recovery services will have to file a new corrective action plan by June 6. He will revisit the organization again a few months later to see if adequate progress has been made. “At that point, we would consider suspending their certification,” Barr said.
‘Make stuff up’ The records request also revealed dialogue between Henderson and MacNaughton’s predecessor, Michael Baird, about treatment center’s internal state of affairs. In an Oct. 26 email between the two, Baird complained about low morale among workers. “So, I don’t have much hope for this place turning any corners. I will work on the SAPT (Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment)
yearly report this weekend, but I wish I could see the ‘strategic plan’ that had to be submitted at or before this biennium.” Henderson responded, “Well, I don’t know what to say or do. I’ll email everyone on Monday and see if they just want to bag it. Pick a date a close up shop. Fire everyone and start over? No guarantees it would be any different. Don’t worry about the report. Make stuff up if you have to.” In an interview Friday, Henderson said the comment was a mistake and one made out of exasperation. She believed Baird had all the information needed and, in a moment of bad judgement, told him to “make stuff up.” “That was a stupid comment I made out of frustration,” Henderson said. “I shouldn’t have said it.” She noted that nothing in the report was falsified, that the state investigated the incident and cleared them of wrongdoing. That could not be verified as of press time, however. It’s unclear whether Baird was fired or quit but the state’s records show his successor, MacNaughton, may be facing his own difficulties, though Henderson said staff morale has improved dramatically since he took over. When Barr visited the treatment center in April, he discovered MacNaughton had been working under an expired credential since March 22. Although the credential was renewed by wire transfer the same day, Barr noted MacNaughton “engaged in unlicensed practice in criminal violation of Revised Code of Washington.”
Budget problems? MacNaughton did not address the issue of his credentials during Wednesday’s work session but he did provide an overview of the treatment center’s rapid growth and demand for services. The organization had just 67 clients when it opened its doors in 2011. By the end of first year, that number had mushroomed to 156 and by March of 2013, the organization was serving about 280 people. “We’ve managed to do this with the addition of just one counselor,” he said. MacNaughton said the organization’s current client load is about 50 per counselor. He claimed criticisms about the time it takes to provide assessments was unfair and that two or three weeks is common in the industry. “If we can increase our staff to nine counselors, we’ll have assessments in a week,” he said. Drug court officials have since challenged the accuracy of the claim as did a representative of the county’s former and private treatment provider. A woman in the crowd whispered loudly, “That’s not true.” Henderson also painted a future of financial uncertainty, citing changes in health care and possible reductions in state funding. She said that’s why she was unwilling to seek bids from other treatment providers. “I don’t think it’s responsible with all of the unknowns, the budget, around the affordable care act and health care reform,” Henderson said. “I know there have been problems with the drug court; there have not been problems with
But according to Banks, Henderson’s suggestion is unrealistic as it would likely yield few if any willing alternative treatment providers. “That’s a poison pill because that’s a case load that’s not big enough to attract a provider,” he said in a later interview. The board did not appear receptive to the idea either and issued no directive to seek bids, despite Henderson’s open challenge. Instead, Commissioner Jill Johnson sought a reconciliation between recovery services and drug court officials, asking that a memorandum of understanding be drafted “This is a relationship that has to work and it’s broken,” Johnson said. She noted that Superior Court judges are elected officials and these “significant inconsistencies” from the treatment provide could unfairly stain their reputations, along with that of the county as a whole. She said she was “unwilling to sacrifice the drug court programs.” Drug court officials voiced little optimism over the prospects of resolution. “We’ve been working with (the organization) for two years. We’ve seen no measurable improvement,” Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock said. “We have no confidence in Island County Recovery Services,” he said. Hancock said drug court leaders believe the board should pursue a request for proposal process immediately and that “we would have to question whether we could continue with our drug court” if recovery services “continues to be our treatment provider.” Similarly, Banks said, “I’m not letting anyone else in drug court until we have a treatment provider we can trust. I just can’t do it in good conscience anymore.” Henderson said the scrutiny of recovery services by the state and drug court officials is one-sided. She questions how well the judges and prosecutor might endure under a similar spotlight. “We’ve been under the microscope and they aren’t. I guess they are perfect.”

Teachers, district reach deal By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Teachers in the Oak Harbor School District are breathing a collective sigh of relief having reached a three-year contract agreement. Tensions were mounting between the Oak Harbor Education Association and school district after a series of negotiations resulted in little progress. But, during the last scheduled meeting June 7, both sides reached agreement on a new deal following seven hours of negotiations. The Oak Harbor School Board voted unanimously to approve the contract Tuesday night, allowing teachers to head into the summer break with a weight off their shoulders. The last day of school in the district for the 2012-13 school year was Friday. “I think the teachers are very pleased and relieved,” said Kathy Ridle, vice president of the OHEA and elementary school literacy coach. “We wanted a settlement so we didn’t have it hanging over us for the summer.” Teachers were seeking a new deal before their one-year contract expires in August. Peter Szalai, president of the OHEA and a history teacher at Oak Harbor Middle School, expressed concerns to the school board in recent months after talks between the two negotiating teams had gained little ground. But compromises began at the June 7 meeting, resulting in the first three-year contract for Oak Harbor teachers since 2005. Out of that agreement, Oak Harbor teachers will receive two new professional days for time spent beyond the classroom and an additional planning day between semesters to wrap up the first semester and get ready for the second. The contract also calls for a day
and a half of professional development focusing on school district initiatives to improve student learning tied to Department of Defense grants. That professional development time won’t start until 2014-15 school year. The new contract also includes reimplementation of 3-1/2 days of student learning time and parentteacher conferences eliminated two years ago when the state legislature cut teacher pay by 1.9 percent. According to the Oak Harbor School District, the state is expected to return that pay to the same level provided three years ago, which will bring a return of the lost classroom and conference time. Cost for the additional days represents a 3 percent salary increase for Oak Harbor teachers over a three-year period. It’s the first contract increase for the school district’s 300-plus teachers in seven years. “Every dollar is associated with work time in the contract,” said Lance Gibbon, who becomes Oak Harbor schools’ new superintendent on July 1. School board member Christine Cribb said that she wants it to be clear that money going toward the teachers’ salary increase is not coming from local levy funds approved by voters this past February; instead it’s coming from state and federal sources. School board members are upholding the promise made during the levy campaign, Cribb said. “The money coming into take care of this contract is coming from state and federal funds, not the local school levy, and that’s really critical,” she said. Kurt Schonberg, human resources director for the Oak Harbor schools and head of the school district’s negotiating team, said agreeing to a three-year contract is beneficial for both parties in many ways.
Oak Harbor schools land experience in No. 2 role By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times
Peter Szalai, president of the Oak Harbor Education Association, had been vocal at recent school board meetings about his concerns over stalled negotiations between the teachers and school district. But that changed June 7 when the district and teachers agreed on a new three-year deal. The negotiating process is demanding on both sides, he said. “Having experienced a oneyear deal and the uncertainty that that brings to the staff and to my bargaining team, it’s a significant time commitment for both,” he said. Ultimately, the main issues centered on time teachers spend outside of the classroom. The district’s early release of students on Mondays will continue, Schonberg said. “Teachers recognized they’ve got a lot of duties they need to fulfill outside the school day,” Schonberg said, “and we have increasing amounts of mandates that must be met.” “Teaching has never fit into a convenient work schedule,” Ridle said. Oak Harbor schools will begin implementing a new state-mandated principal-teacher evaluation system for new teachers beginning in the fall. Principals will be juggling different methods of evaluating new and existing staff while teachers will need to adjust to the new system.
Timing of the agreement made for a happy conclusion to the school year for teachers. Alice Mikos, librarian at Oak Harbor Middle School, attended Tuesday night’s school board meeting to express her gratitude for the contract being resolved. She was one of only a handful of teachers in attendance, a stark contrast to a pair of meetings in late May when teachers crowded the room in a unified effort to remind school board members of the precarious state of negotiations. “I think there’s much relief,” said Jeff Laiblin, a social studies teacher at North Whidbey Middle School who’s part of the teachers union’s negotiating team. “We don’t have to worry about it for three years.” “We have a plan for the next three years that will benefit students, while keeping our costs below the average of other school districts in our region,” Gibbon said. “It’s a good plan that will allow us to focus on academics and keep Oak Harbor moving forward in the right direction for improved learning.”
After Karst Brandsma gets settled into his new role in Oak Harbor, he doesn’t expect it will take too long before he wanders over to Wildcat Memorial Stadium. As the Oak Harbor School District’s new interim assistant superintendent, it’s part of his job to get out of the office, meet new people and develop relationships. As a former college quarterback and ex high school football coach, it’s only natural that he’ll get acquainted with the Brandsma: school district’s athletic Former college programs, and in par- QB and prep ticular, the high school football coach will be district’s football team. “I follow preps a No. 2 guy lot,” Brandsma said. “I spend my Friday nights on the sidelines ... waiting for them to ask me to call a play or two.” Brandsma’s one-year appointment in Oak Harbor was unanimously approved by the Oak Harbor School District Board Tuesday night. Lance Gibbon, Oak Harbor’s new schools superintendent beginning July 1, pursued Brandsma because of his experience with leadership transitions and favorable reviews, figuring he’d be the ideal candidate as the school district faces its first change at the top in two decades. Rick Schulte is moving to the Tri-Cities to tackle the superintendent job in the Richland School District after holding that post for 20 years in Oak Harbor. Brandsma, 59, is taking on his fourth temporary leadership role in a school district since 2009, his last such stint coming as interim superintendent for the Mount Baker School District during the 2011-12 See BRANDSMA, A5

school year. “If you look at my resume, you’d think the guy can’t hold a job,” Brandsma said jokingly. Brandsma has become somewhat of a specialist in the area of transitional leadership. When vacancies occur in superintendent or assistant superintendent positions, retired superintendents such as Brandsma are often called upon through the Northwest Education Service District to fill in for a year to allow more time for more extensive searches for replacements. Brandsma served as assistant superintendent of the Everett School District for seven years before he spent a year as interim superintendent. He later became deputy superintendent of the
Bellingham School District for two years before taking the interim superintendent post at Mount Baker. Brandsma said he has spent the past year as a consultant with an eye on a position that ultimately didn’t materialize. He didn’t want to name the school district but said that he turned down other offers during his wait. Gibbon said that when he started to search for an interim replacement for a position that he’s held for six years, Brandsma seemed to be at the top of everyone’s list. And he knew Brandsma was being sought by others. “His experience and people skills are the two biggest things,” Gibbon told the school board Tuesday night. “This is an assistant superintendent I can give any job to get done and he’s already done it.” Brandsma and Gibbon first chatted about the position in
www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com
May. Then he visited Oak Harbor and talks got more serious. “The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a place I could contribute,” Brandsma said. “My niche the last couple of years, I’ve been able to keep people focused on the real objective, which is to educate kids while they go through the transition of a change in leadership. The fear of the unknown can be a distraction.” Brandsma will start in Oak Harbor on July 1. His contract calls for a salary of $98,800, plus benefits. He and his wife of 39 years, Irene, own a home in Everett. He’s commuted before but is weighing his options more this time around. His contract is only for one year, so they won’t sell their home, he said. He said he’ll likely look for a place to stay on Whidbey Island to avoid
the rigors of a daily commute from Everett. Brandsma was a celebrated athlete at Sunnyside High School, graduating in 1972, before becoming an all-conference quarterback at Eastern Washington University. He started his career in education at Tumwater High School, teaching biology, chemistry and physical education. He also coached football, serving as offensive coordinator for legendary coach Sid Otton. That led to eight years as a teacher and head football coach at Peninsula High School, near Gig Harbor, where Brandsma’s teams won consecutive league titles in 1984, 85 and 86. “I like what high school coaching has to offer,” said Brandsma, a former district athletic director in Tacoma. “The education value is second to none in all avenues.”

IN OUR OPINION
City needs more than Big Macs A regional TV news report about the “supersizing” of Oak Harbor was more than a little premature. Construction of a third McDonald’s restaurant on North Whidbey isn’t imminent and may not happen at all. As the Whidbey News-Times reported weeks ago, the fast-food giant submitted a pre-application for construction of a restaurant at the site of the former Ford dealership, which is the big empty lot at the corner of State Highway 20 and Barrington Drive. A pre-application is only the very preliminary stage of a project. The fast food giant may or may not move forward with a project. It could take years. Maybe there’s time for an alternative to come forward. Maybe the city can create incentives that would encourage a local entrepreneur to build something besides a fast-food joint or big-box store on the highly visible site. A locally owned business that creates local jobs and is involved in the community would be the ideal solution. An aesthetically pleasing building would be a bonus. Mayor Scott Dudley named a planner as the new economic development coordinator and started an ad hoc committee on economic development. They’ve talked about incentives. Perhaps a potential investor or business could be recruited. The News-Times story provoked a big reaction online. Many people complained about the proliferation of fast-food restaurants in the city and the dearth of dining options. Some people want a seafood restaurant, others an upscale burger joint. Nobody, it seems, wants a new McDonald’s. Some people point out that it’s not up to the community or city government to decide what happens in a free market. They suggest the bellyachers will line up at the drive-through if a new McDonald’s is built. Years ago, the community pushed city leaders to stop Walmart from coming in, but lost in court. Now the parking lot is perpetually full. Litigation isn’t the answer. The city and the community should find creative, pro-active solutions to encourage development that offers more than Big Macs and minimum wages.

Letters to the editor Safety
Protect property from fireworks Editor, This is just a reminder about the Fourth of July fireworks. This year will be extremely difficult for our policemen and firemen as there are fewer of them and more citizens with guns and illegal fireworks that go above the tree tops. Please do the right thing and call the police with the house address of where the fireworks are being shot off. Protect your neighbors’ property from going up in flames, which can easily happen when one lands on your roof or trees. Please help protect our homes by telling the police as they start. They can confiscate them
before something bad happens to you or your pets. Thank you. Lola Miller Coupeville
Prayer
Moment of silence more appropriate Editor, I was going to pass on commenting about prayer at the Island County commissioner meetings. I was gratified when its members came to the right decision and avoided it. The GOP has branded itself Christian, and Democrats as morally bankrupt, so it didn’t surprise me when Kelly Emerson wanted to start meetings with a prayer. I also wasn’t surprised when William Burnett slammed Helen Price Johnson.

How dare she, a Democrat, bring Jesus’ words into a debate on Christian prayer? I was surprised by Jill Johnson’s honesty, but not her intolerance — that she wouldn’t be comfortable hearing prayer from other religions and projecting her intolerance onto them. I’m not sure what Price Johnson’s disregard of the facts was. Matthew 6:5-6 is purported to be the words of Jesus admonishing followers to keep prayer private. Section 11 of Washington state’s constitution is pretty clear: “No public property shall be appropriated for any religious exercise” — I’ve paraphrased for clarity using the key words. The Washington State House of Representative does offer opening prayer in an inclusive way that makes it somewhat acceptable.
Ever classy, Republicans made it political and walked out when an Islamic imam offered the prayer. A Republican initiated this prayer kerfuffle so it’s safe to assume we’re talking about Christian prayer to The One True God. No need to muddy the waters with other religious texts. Therein lies the problem with religion in schools and government, how to be inclusive for all. It’s really more trouble than it’s worth. I’d bet that the Supreme Court and atheists could get behind a moment of silence, at least until the GOP tried to put a Christian God brand on it. If we keep religious prayer out of public schools and government Mr. Burnett and I won’t find it necessary to write these letters. Walt Mistler Oak Harbor

What do you think of the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden? Is he a hero or traitor?
“He did have a contract to keep things private. Sounds like he violated that contract. Does that make him a traitor? I guess.”

“I haven’t made a determination yet.” Jo Balda, Oak Harbor

“I’m thinking he’s kinda a hero. Government takes things too far and he sacrificed a lot.” Bryan Funk, Coupeville
More Letters to the editor County
Separation is a part of religious freedom Editor, Thank God! “Civility” in a public forum comes from mutual respect between the parties involved. How can anyone have respect for someone who owes the county more than $30,000 in fines for violating county law? Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson holds the county in contempt and holds the employees of the county in contempt as a result of her actions with regard to her building without permits, and denying access to her property by inspectors. No amount of prayer will overcome this willful disrespect of our county and its laws. It makes it very difficult to have respect for a body of government with such a person as its leader. I applaud commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson for realizing that the separation of church and state is at the very heart of our religious freedom. Art Huffine Oak Harbor
Thank you
New park shelters a community asset Editor, On Friday, June 7 the City of
Oak Harbor held a ribbon cutting for the newest additions to our Parks Division — two picnic shelters at Fort Nugent Park. These shelters are beautiful with large exposed Douglas fir beams and western red cedar posts, along with lights and electrical outlets. They are great for any family outing. I am sure that the community will enjoy these shelters for many years to come. I would be remiss if I did not publicly thank the contractors and suppliers who played such an important role in making these picnic shelters a success. Mayor Scott Dudley Oak Harbor
Dining
Come have breakfast at Oak Harbor VFW Editor, I would like to reply to Mr. Glenn Eckard’s June 12 letter regarding the lack of Sunday brunch establishments. I would like to invite him to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 7392 at 3037 Goldie Road on the last Sunday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon for a brunch that should meet or surpass his expectations. Our volunteers serve a full breakfast from pancakes to biscuits and gravy, eggs to order, even chicken fried steaks in a timely manner at a very reason-
able price, including a discount for seniors. We have been able to serve as many as 60 people in one hour, although that does push us to the max. We just installed a new griddle that has helped speed up our service so I believe he will be satisfied with both the service and the quality of the food. We have a seating area for the general public and they are welcome. Mr. Eckard, we look forward to serving you. Skip Johnson Adjutant, VFW Post No. 7392 Oak Harbor

the island dysfunctional.” These statements are archived on a Scribd website for those in denial. Hopefully those whom support our troops will attend Price Johnson’s community confrontation on this national defense issue. We should testify the patriotic majority supports our troops, supports OLF Coupeville unless a cost-effective alternative truly exists and supports cost-effective mitigation of the OLF’s impacts, whether that be sound-proofing or eminent domain. The event is 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 19 at the Coupeville Rec Hall. Please bring your video cameras in the spirit of Andrew Breitbart.
Show support of OLF at Wednesday meeting Environment Editor, Next week Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has called for a community confrontation to discuss the national need for Outlying Field in Coupeville and the equally important moral need to mitigate the OLF’s impacts. Watching the Island County Commissioners’ video recordings, I know our congressional delegation will have staffers attending. There are individuals like Ken Pickard, who angrily leads an antiOLF caucus of diverse individuals. He has said the Navy is “the biggest bully in the world,” “close the base” and “the NAS base keeps

Think before disposing of hazardous waste Editor, We used to give little thought to taking out the trash. These days we know that papers, plastic resins and metal are resources to recover. We also know that chemicals around the house such as corrosive cleaners, stale gasoline, automotive fluids, garden chemicals, batteries and aerosol products can cause personal injury, start fires and pollute our bays and aquifers when disposed of
improperly. To help residents sort through this maze, Island County has prepared a grant-funded flyer inserted in the Whidbey News-Times that describes hazardous products, where to dispose of them and where one can learn more. I plan to save mine in a kitchen drawer with the phone book. The flyer does not cover everything. For example, taping battery terminals will prevent any residual charge from starting fires like those that have ignited both structures and vehicles. Also, empty containers which contained hazardous materials such as bleach or motor oil should go into the trash and not into the recycle bins. Disposing of household hazardous waste is convenient and free. Do not put it in your trash. For a collection site near you, see the flyer. Workers at county transfer stations are friendly. Ask and they will help. Another great place for household hazardous waste (HHW) disposal information is the Island County HHW Collection Facility, 360-679-7386 or 360-321-5111 ext. 7386. Also, remember to read the label. “Caution,” “warning” or “danger” indicates a potential for harm. Know that you have a free place to safely dispose of unwanted household hazardous waste.

It would be safe to say Dr. Jim Copenhaver is Coupeville’s Dr. Soccer. And while his touch has been felt greatest in Central Whidbey, his reach has covered the entire island. Unfortunately for the soccer community, the Copenhavers are moving to the East Coast this month to be closer to family. Copenhaver’s love for soccer began as a child in south Seattle in the 1970s during the exciting first years of the Seattle Sounders. He played for a select BU-13 team that won the state title in 1974 and then went on to play varsity soccer at Enumclaw High School where he was MVP and captain his junior and senior years. From there he went to the University of Washington on an academic scholarship to pursue a career in medicine. Copenhaver came to Coupeville in 1998 and split his time between family and emergency medicine. His son, Jeremy, began playing soccer in Coupeville in 2001 at age 5. Copenhaver was concerned that the parents and coaches were focused more on winning than the kids simply enjoying and learning the game, so he started coaching his son’s teams in 2003. At that time Coupeville kids played against only each other and did not travel to other communities. Copenhaver said, “Consequently by age 10 most players in Coupeville gave up soccer and moved on to other sports. They simply got tired of playing the same old kids on the same field.” As a result, Copenhaver created boys and girls teams that played exhibition games against teams from Oak Harbor and South Whidbey. “The players from all three communities loved it,” Copenhaver said. “They wanted to play each other every weekend.” He then joined the Whidbey Island Youth Soccer Association, one of about 50 state associations to help develop local soccer play for young players. “In that forum I advocated for the creation of a local youth soccer league on Whidbey Island which had never been tried. In the
spring of 2006 about 150 kids from South Whidbey and Central Whidbey agreed to form teams and play with and against each other.” It was a hit and has been running ever since. Copenhaver has been league commissioner since its inception. Over the past 10 years, Copenhaver has coached more than 40 Whidbey Island teams of all skill levels from U-7 to U-19. “The greatest part about teaching kids soccer is seeing and feeling the excitement they feel when they do something new and special for the first time,” he said. “The most difficult part of leaving is to not have the opportunity to continue to guide young players along that very exciting developmental pathway. Youth soccer has never been about winning games for me. I love the beauty of the play, and when you learn to play it right, it is as beautiful to watch as it is to play.” Copenhaver has been Matthew Kelley’s coach the past three seasons. Matthew’s father, Patrick Kelley, said, “To say my son adores him is an understatement. I could not have asked for a better soccer coach.” Copenhaver said after he leaves he hopes island youth soccer continues to be “more about the freedom to create the beauty of the game and less, much less, about the need to get a win.” His wife’s entire family is in the Boston area, and the Copenhavers will be moving to Wolfeboro, N.H. Copenhaver accepted an emergency medicine position at Huggin’s Hospital. Jeremy Copenhaver recently completed his sophomore soccer season at Coupeville High School and will now attend Brewster Academy. In closing, Copenhaver said, “I would like to thank the many, many families that have volunteered over the years to help give kids the chance to play organized sports. I have been just one of a team of volunteers that enjoy creating interesting physical activities to get kids outside and having fun. “It feels good to work as a team and see 100 kids all chasing soccer balls and having fun.” Coupeville’s Dr. Soccer is also Whidbey Island’s Dr. Soccer. He leaves behind a legacy of love for the game and the kids who play it.

Think of your home as a heartwarming extension of church FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE I have a number of what I call my “go-to” books. I group these books on one shelf in my office and regularly venture their direction when I want to be inspired. Or comforted. Or reminded of a lesson I keep forgetting. This week, while giving thought to my column, I brewed my favorite cup of tea — Tazo’s Wild Sweet Orange with a dribble of honey — and headed for one of my all-time favorites. It’s titled, “Open Heart, Open Home: The Hospitable Way to Make Others Feel Welcomed and Wanted,” and it’s written by Karen Burton Mains. I pulled my first edition copy from the shelf and sat down in a chair that was once my dad’s favorite. As I perused my favorite chapters I took special notice of contents I’ve highlighted over the years: Our homes play an important role in establishing community and enhancing a feeling of family. We must learn to think of the church as being without walls, and use our homes as tools of ministry. Like most writers whose books stay in print and last the test of time, Mains still has a whole lot to say to us even though our world differs greatly from the one she was experiencing in 1976 when she first wrote the book. Today we see each other’s lives through images or comments placed on Facebook. We see a friend’s new baby or funny family vacation photos, or offer comfort when life gets tough and we somehow feel close or connected to each other. Growing numbers of us text, message on Facebook, and share opinions using social media. Yet as close as we may feel when using these various methods, most of us have never set foot in each others’ homes. All of this ran through my mind in rapid fashion this week when a court appointed Guardian ad Litem dropped by to visit our foster daughter. “Oh no!” I uttered out loud as I heard her drive up to the house, “Just look at our windows! They’re filthy! I wish I’d gotten them washed. I don’t want her to think we’re living like cavemen!” It was the look of our 16-year-old that could have been Karen Burton Mains herself. “We just look like normal people, Joan” she replied, shaking her head in amusement. “I mean, we live here, you know?!” Indeed, we do live here: those who are genetically linked and some who are not but are beginning to feel like part of the family. Turning a blind eye to the windows, we invited the ad Litem to sit at our kitchen table across from a warm pile of clothes right out of the dryer. We talked about how life is going. We talked about our hopes for the future. And I was reminded once again that it’s always a matter of the heart, not perfectly clean windows. It’s about understanding what our gifts are and using our homes as a means for welcoming people. Sharing love. Being real. Opening our hearts. Facing uncertainties with others who are committed to you. Experiencing God’s love. n Joan Bay Klope can be reached at faithfulliving@ hotmail.com

Trina Desquitado, center, and her parents Badette and Rex, are back home in Oak Harbor after Trina’s participation in the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., earlier this month. Trina, a fifth grader, was one of 281 competitors nationwide.
Spellbinding experience Oak Harbor fifth grader delights in National Spelling Bee trip to D.C. By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
It’s a lot to soak in for a fifth grader. A national television appearance, radio and TV interviews, a tour of national landmarks she’d only read about in books. But Trina Desquitado took it all in stride in a polite, quiet and respectful manner, never showing too much excitement. Her smile, however, was a mainstay. “I think she was enjoying all the attention,” her mother, Badette Alarkon Desquitado said. Trina recently returned home to Oak Harbor from a dream-like trip to Washington, D.C., where she was one of 281 contestants nationwide competing in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. She was one of three participants from Washington state, earning the trip after winning the Skagit County Regional Spelling Bee in late
March. Trina survived three rounds of the National Spelling Bee competition, but wasn’t among the final 42 contestants who qualified for the semifinals. She didn’t misspell a word, but a computer-based test taken by all participants was used to determine who made the semifinals. That test focused on vocabulary rather than spelling. “It’s not just the spelling of the words, it’s learning the vocabulary,” Badette said. “We felt the strain. We put in long hours (studying) for the regional Spelling Bee. We put in longer hours for nationals because we had to know the vocabulary.” There were some tears for Trina, but they didn’t last long. At 11-years-old and standing 4 feet, 4 inches, the Broad View Elementary School student was one of the youngest, smallest and least experienced competitors at the national event. Some had

Trina Desquitado competed into the third round of the National Spelling Bee. qualified for the event three or four times. Trina was invited to represent Washington on the main stage during championship night, although she did not compete. “At first I felt a little upset about me not advancing to the semifinals,” Trina said, “but after a while I felt really good about it, about how much I did already.” Trina was accompanied by her mother, grandmother Alice Alarkon and older sisters Therese and Tricia to the nation’s capital. The stay
lasted May 26-June 2 with the National Spelling Bee paying for Trina and her mother’s trip. The family was joined in Washington, D.C. by Badette’s husband, Rex Desquitado. He had traveled more than 24 hours to get from Saudia Arabia to Washington, D.C., where he greeted his family. Rex, who is retired from the Navy, is a contractor working security in Riyadh. He was already planning to attend his eldest daughter Therese’s Oak Harbor High School graduation, so he moved up his leave from work so he could catch Trina’s competition on the way home. “I was so amazed at her accomplishment at Broad View,” he said. “My wife is the one teaching her every day. She is practicing long hours, studying, instead of playing or swimming. She didn’t have time for that. “I’m very proud.” Already, Trina is thinking ahead to 2014 and already studying. “I tell her to look for unique words every day,” Badette said.

LEAP CONTINUED FROM A1 Sound, Mangan said he’s convinced this will be a drop zone customers, many likely be tourists, will gravitate to. The company also serves privately licensed skydivers and they are stoked about the new drop zone. “It’s awesome,” said Brian Wright, a
fun-jumper from Bellingham. Wright will be shooting video for tandem customers but also jumping with friends. He characterized the area as “perfect and beautiful.” Chip Laplante, also of Bellingham, agreed. “We’ve been bouncing around the Northwest for a couple of years and this is starting to feel like home,” he said. According to Mangan, the business is open three days a week. For information call 206-351-4269.

than its predecessor, the EA-6B Prowler. Conard said she has noticed only a moderate difference in noise levels at her home in Coupeville, calling the new jets “a little bit louder” by her ears. “But I trust what people are saying,” Conard said. “It sounds like they are (louder) and we need to see what we can do about it.” “I believe the noise is a problem and that the impact is a problem,” she said. Price Johnson said she can’t say whether the new jets are louder or are having adverse health impacts, as some residents assert. Nonetheless, she is encouraging residents who have collected decibel readings to bring their findings to the meeting for discussion. Identifying strategies that might mitigate noise impacts on residents is another focus of the forum. Conard and Price Johnson say the future of OLF will not be decided by base or local elected officials. However, they said, operations are under the control of base leaders, and there may be opportunity to advocate for changes to make the noise tolerable. “What I’m hoping for is a respectful and productive event,” Price Johnson said. “This isn’t about being pro-Navy or anti-Navy.” Central Whidbey farmer Valerie Reuther, who will facilitate the event, agrees. The format is designed to avoid a disputes between airstrip critics and Navy supporters. “The idea is we really want the community to
city and its insurance company to bring the contractors and their insurance companies to the table,” said Michael Withey, a Seattle attorney who’s representing the Swinomish. Jim Gebhardt, president of Strider, said Friday that he wasn’t aware of the lawsuit, but received information earlier relative to the claim for damages. He said the company’s insurance company is investigating the case. He said it “remains to be seen” what the indemnification clause will mean. Withey has experience with similar cases. He represented Lummi Nation when ancient graves were dug up
DON’T GET BURNED
during a project to expand a sewage treatment plant. The case was settled when Golder Associates agreed to pay $4.25 million to the tribe and the city of Blaine paid $1.3 million. Withey said he was also involved in a Lower Elwha lawsuit against the state over the grave yard and ancient village unearthed in the 2004 Hood Canal Bridge project. The state settled that case for $11.5 million. The 30-page lawsuit argues for class action status. Withey said the 900 members of the tribe would divide any award for emotional damages. The Tribal Community would receive
dialogue.” Rather than giving each person a turn at the microphone, attendees will receive a questionnaire. Attendees may be divided into groups and asked to write their comments and suggestions, Reuther said. Those steps may prove wise as the issue of jet noise is highly charged. Sedro Woolley resident Joe Kunzler, a Navy proponent and airstrip supporter, said he plans to attend and confront OLF critics about their motives. Spending “hundreds of millions of dollars” to build a new airstrip to “save their reserve” is unacceptable, he said. In a letter to the editor in the Whidbey NewsTimes, Kunzler characterized the upcoming meeting as a “community confrontation.” “I’m not against solving this but I just think we need to be cost effective,” Kunzler said. On the other side, Michael Monson said he is grateful the event is being organized, but added he believes there is only one solution — to cease all flight operations at the air strip. “There is no possible mitigation,” Monson said. “The only answer is for the carrier-based EA-18Gs to be transferred someplace else.” Conard said the Navy was not invited to participate in an official capacity, but is not barred from attending the meeting. NAS Whidbey spokesman Mike Welding said Wednesday the Navy is not sending an official representative. Staff members from Congressman Rick Larsen’s office and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray’s and Sen. Maria Cantwell’s offices are expected to attend.
compensatory damages related to actual economic loss. The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation would receive any punitive damages for violations of law. Withey said emotional damages for tribal members are very real. “They believe their ancestors are still around and are upset with the current tribal members” for allowing the desecration of their graves, he said. Withey explained that the Swinomish believe their ancestors aren’t “dead and gone,” but reside in a spiritual world that’s not far removed from everyday life. It’s vital

to their beliefs that the bones of their ancestors aren’t removed or scattered. The lawsuit states that dirt containing human remains was scattered among hundreds of piles, some of which were offered to residents as “free dirt.” Withey said one resident found a femur in his yard. The lawsuit begins with the history of the Swinomish people on Whidbey Island. It states that a native village and burial ground was located in the area that’s now downtown Oak Harbor until the native people were forced to leave under a 1855 treaty. The suit claims the archaeological site is well documented. A 1983 Whidbey NewsTimes article reported Indian remains were unearthed during Pioneer Way work. Prior to the 2011 construction, the state Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation warned the city about the likelihood of cultural remains and recommended that the city hire an archeologist and create a plan to deal with inadvertent discoveries of cultural materials. The city promised to follow the recommendation in the State Environmental Policy Act checklist, said the lawsuit. The recommendations, however, were not followed. The lawsuit claims that email exchanges show that city staff members knew about the Indian burial ground on March 8, 2011, but didn’t take any of the necessary steps. The project came to a halt on June 16.

firms to provide Value Engineering (VE) services related to the City’s new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The objectives of VE are to: identify potential changes to the treatment plant design that would satisfy the essential functions of the project at a lower (capital or life cycle) cost while maintaining effluent limitations and operational requirements; identify potential changes to the plant operation and maintenance scheme to reduce labor, chemicals, and energy costs while ensuring proper plant maintenance and reliability; identify potential project construction risks and propose possible mitigation measures to help the City manage costs and construction schedule. 2.0 Background Preliminary design of the City’s new WWTP is currently underway. Carollo Engineers is serving as the City’s planning and design consultant. Preliminary design is scheduled to be complete in the spring of 2014, with final design complete in mid-2015. The facility is anticipated to be constructed and fully operational by late 2017. The City’s wastewater system serves approximately 24,000 people within the City and the Navy Seaplane Base. The new treatment plant will be designed for a 2030 maximum month flow (MMF) of 3.9 million gallons per day (mgd) (including Navy flow). The treatment plant site is planned for future expansion to 6 mgd (MMF). The site for the new facility is in the vicinity of City’s existing Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) plant, near Windjammer Par k and the City’s downtown core, and is adjacent to the Oak Harbor shoreline. The new treatment plant, as currently planned, will include: Diversion structures at major interceptors and influent piping; Influent screening; Influent flow measurement and sampling; Influent pump station; Grit removal; Fine screening; Flow equalization; Aeration basins, aeration bl ow e r s, M B R t a n k s, and associated mechanical equipment; UV Disinfection; Effluent flow measurement and sampling; Marine outfall into Oak Harbor, replacing the City’s existing, failed outfall; Aerated storage for Waste Activated Sludge; Class A Biosolids Production using ther mal drying; and Ancillary and non-process facilities (chemical storage and handling, odor control, administration/operations, maintenance building, laboratory, standby-power gene ra t i o n , S C A DA , a n d electrical). Many of the elements listed above are integral to the Draft Facilities Plan (Plan) which is currently under review by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology). Recommendations that deviate substantially from the current plan will not be considered. A copy of the Plan can be d ow n l o a d e d f r o m t h e project website, www.oakharborcleanwater.org.
