Overflow crowd says, ‘close OLF’ Results of public meeting will be shared with Navy

and suggest mitigation strategies. However, the majority of the crowd made clear their feelings about alternative solutions.

By JUSTIN BURNETT

“THIS COMMUNITY, Whidbey Island, has outgrown OLF field, close it,” said Frank Scharwat, earning a round of thunderous applause and cheering. A handful of airstrip supporters were peppered throughout the crowd but they by far numbered in the minority. In fact, of the 150 inside the room, a vote showed that 138 want to see Outlying Field closed. Only 12 said the air field should remain open. One who wants OLF to remain open is Larrie Ford, who retired from the Navy after 20 years and made his home in Coupeville. Wearing sweatpants with

With the crowd numbering more than 200, a rallying cry to close the U.S. Navy’s Outlying Field south of Coupeville spilled into the parking lot Wednesday. Held at the Recreation Hall on Alexander Street, the building’s 150-person fire capacity was quickly reached and entrances blocked. The 60 or so people unable to get inside the Recreation Hall huddled near the tapedoff doorways or peeked in through open windows. The meeting was called by Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard and Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson to identify impacts

Board OK with alcohol at park events By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A proposal to allow alcohol to be served during special events at three Oak Harbor parks took a step forward this week. The Oak Harbor Park Board recommended Wednesday that the Oak Harbor City Council sign off on a proposal to allow the sale of alcohol at approved special events at Windjammer Park, Fort Nugent Park and Catalina Park, which is located near the Oak Harbor Marina. The Park Board voted fourto-one in favor of the proposal. Helen Chatfield-Weeks, Dee Harbour, Mike Wright and Daisy Sapida voted in favor of the proposal. K.C. Pohtilla voted against it. The city council will vote during an upcoming meeting whether to allow the sale of alcohol at specified park events. Chatfield-Weeks noted that the alcohol sales would be carefully monitored by law enforcement and drinking areas would be cordoned off to prevent sales of alcohol to minors. The proposal would last for 12 months and then it will be reviewed by city officials. JoAnn Hellmann, who heads the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County, said she was disappointed by the park board’s

Mayor rebukes councilman for casting vote

Severns maintains vote not a conflict of interest By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley took a council member to task at the close of Tuesday’s meeting,

but the scolding may have been unwarranted. Dudley accused a council member, whom he did not identify by name, of misconduct for failing to recuse himself from an earlier vote concerning city employees and their pay. The mayor then encouraged the council to be more cautious about conflicts of interest in the future and examine their roles and duties before casting votes.

Commissioners consider fireworks rules reform By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

A public hearing on a proposal to shorten the Fourth of July fireworks season in Island County by one day next year will be held in Coupeville Monday. The Board of Commissioners will discuss a plan to bring county code into conformance with state standards. The public is invited to speak at the meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. in the Commissioner’s Hearing Room. “It simply puts us in

line with state standards,” Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said. Existing county code permits the discharge and sale of fireworks from noon on June 28 through noon on July 6. State rules have a similar schedule, but fireworks season ends on July 5 and allows for fewer firing hours. The discrepancy has been known for sometime and was discussed by the board at length in 2012. The rules were never changed, however, as there

was a simultaneous discussion about whether or not to make the county’s rules even more restrictive than the state’s. The issue was raised again this year and a majority of the board, Commissioners Kelly Emerson and Jill Johnson, agreed to proceed only with the plan to align county and state rules. Some residents are still advocating for tighter restrictions and Brown said he will be at the meeting to answer questions from the public.

County seeks public input on L&J tax Island County decision makers will discuss a $2.6 million law and justice tax levy proposal Monday and are seeking public comment. Island County Board of Commissioners recently agreed to hold a series of

community meetings on the Island County Law and Justice Council’s resolution to seek voter approval for the levy on the November ballot. The idea was to get public feedback on the proposal before the board makes a

decision. Three meetings were planned for Whidbey and Camano islands, but the issue has also been added to the board’s Monday agenda. It’s the commissioner’s only evening meeting of the month and begins at 6 p.m.

Oak Harbor City Councilman Bob Severns asks a question Tuesday about a plan to refinance the city’s 2004 water and sewer bonds. The council approved the measure, which will save taxpayers at least $76,300 over the next 10 years.

City saves with bond refinance By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Oak Harbor taxpayers will save at least $76,300 over the next 10 years thanks to a decision this week to refinance the city’s outstanding water and sewer bonds. In 2004, the Oak Harbor City Council authorized the sale of $2.86 million in revenue bonds. It paid for the construction of several infrastructure projects, including repairs to the sewer lagoon liner on the Seaplane Base. Doug Merriman, the city’s finance director, said he

reviews the city’s outstanding bonds annually to see if refinancing is warranted. Rates have been on a steady decline and have never looked better, he said. “We’re at the lowest rates we’ve seen in decades,” Merriman said. Jumping into action, he proposed the council refinance the $1.67 million balance on the 2004 bonds. Annette Sommer, a vice president with Seattle Northwest Securities, gave the council a presentation about the bond market and

the potential savings Tuesday evening. According to her report, the present value of the savings in today’s dollars is $76,300, but the total savings after calculating in inflation could be as high as $146,750. There were a few questions from council members but all were in agreement to proceed. The proposal was approved by unanimous vote. Merriman said it will take up to three months to complete the refinancing, which means the final rate may change slightly.

Raise planned for county employees in 2014 budget By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Years of financial uncertainty in Island County government may finally be coming to an end. One of the first orders of business may be a pay raise. A cost of living increase for county’s approximately 420 year-round employees was one of the few priorities to receive majority support from the Island County Board of Commissioners during its first budget planning meeting of the year. “It’s become a critical issue for our organization and certainly a significant morale issue,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. “Regardless of that, it’s the right thing to do.” Beginning in 2008, the economy began to sour and once healthy revenue flows slowed to a trickle. The board answered by chopping millions from the general fund, and according to Price Johnson, by cutting 100 positions. Employees also negotiated in “good faith” a reduction in benefits, she said. The lean

times last longer than expected, she said, and employee salaries have been frozen since 2008. The county has “stabilized” its revenues, however, and the budget is no longer in “free fall,” she said. “Now, it’s time to get back to our staff and let them know that we are in a place where we can reinstate a COLA, and I’m hopeful we’ll be able to do that this year,” Price Johnson said. Other priorities for the commissioners include the preservation of public safety, justice and health services. She also wants to improve and streamline internal processes and take steps to strengthen economic recovery. Commissioner Jill Johnson said her primary focus is law and justice funding, but that support has limits. “I don’t want to be a county that just offers a sheriff’s office,” she said. She said she favors of giving county employees a cost of living increase, listing it as one of her top priorities. She also wants the county

The commissioners went over their preliminary budget priorities. departments to be open to the public five days a week. “I hate the signs around the county that say, ‘We’re going to provide you with poor service because of budget cuts,’” she said.

The reduction in staff resulted in many departments falling behind, so the board decided to close county offices to the public on Fridays. The idea was to give staff a chance to catch up on

backlogged work. “As the county’s financial position begins to improve, one of our responsibilities is to provide five-day-a-week service to the community,” Johnson said.

Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson expressed concern about constituents, and that she “personally knows people who have or will move off the island if taxes continue to rise.” When asked just what taxes she was referring to, she mentioned the Clean Water Utility, which is technically a fee. She also noted the cumulative impact of other municipalities and junior taxing districts, such as fire and school districts, and the county must do its part to keep taxes affordable. There is also a different expectation from the public about level of service provided by government, she said. This is still a rural county and many people move here for that reason. “What they want is to be left alone, to use their property and do what they want on their property,” Emerson said. “Other people move here and want all the services they had elsewhere. We have to find that balance.” Emerson’s goal is to “make due with what we have.”

Gibbon signs contract for more than $149,200 per year By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times

Lance Gibbon will start his new position as superintendent for Oak Harbor schools July 1.

Lance Gibbon’s first year as Oak Harbor School District superintendent will come with a higher salary than his longtime predecessor’s. Gibbon, who takes the reins as superintendent on July 1, will earn a base salary of $149,209 during his first year on the job, which is roughly $12,000 more than Rick Schulte’s base salary during his final year as superintendent of the Oak Harbor schools. Schulte’s 20-year streak as Oak Harbor schools chief ends June 30. Only three other active superintendents in Washington were in the same district longer. Schulte is leaving for the

Tri-Cities, where he will start as Richland School District superintendent on July 1. Schulte earned an annual base salary of $137,312 over the past three years of his contract. The Oak Harbor School District Board last week approved Gibbon’s threeyear contract as superintendent. Oak Harbor school board president Gary Wallin said that the discrepancy in salaries is a bit misleading because Schulte’s contract was frozen the past five years due to budget constraints. That was about to change, Wallin said. “We were planning on raising Rick’s contract this year also.” When comparing the

contracts, one also should factor in the difference in vacation days, Wallin said. Schulte had 30 annual days of vacation, while Gibbon lost five days of vacation and will have 25. When compared with other school districts of similar size, Oak Harbor superintendent salaries are still well below the average, and Schulte’s was near the bottom. Gibbon’s salary represents at least an upward move, Wallin said. Schulte was planning to leave his position in Oak Harbor at the end of the 2013-14 school year before Richland came calling. He will earn an annual salary of $155,000 in Richland, a school district about twice the size

of Oak Harbor’s with 11,700 students and 1,500 employees. He will be Richland’s third superintendent in three years. Gibbon earned $112,112 as assistant superintendent this past year, ending a string of six years in that capacity. Gibbon, 44, will oversee a school district that is made up of 10 schools, 650 employees and 5,500 students. His contract also calls for the same benefits of other administrators in the district involving sick leave and contributions to insurance plans. Gibbon’s contract will be reviewed by June 30 of each year to consider adjustments in compensation and benefits for the ensuing contract year.

State budget deadline could mean park closures on Whidbey By JERRY CORNFIELD Everett Herald

Closure of state parks could be the result of the state Legislature’s inability to agree on a new budget by July 1. While legislative leaders insist they are nearing a budget agreement, the governor’s office warned that a failure to meet the deadline would result in a partial government shut down. For businesses that rely on tourism to bouy their bottom lines, park closures would be “a very sad state of affairs,” said Linda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. “It would be tragic,” Eccles said. “We’d all be affected, up

and down the whole island. If you look at the number of tourists our parks bring in, it’s amazing.” Deception Pass State Park is the busiest park in Washington state with more than two million visitors each year. Virginia Painter, spokeswoman for state parks, said the affected agencies are doing a sort of “balancing act” until a budget can be reached. “You want to be optimistic, but you also have to be responsible,” Painter said. Still, she said, “many believe they will pass a budget, and we don’t want to create undue concern for our visitors. We really do value the people who come to our parks.” In addition to the closure

of state parks, including the five on Whidbey Island, a shutdown would also halt the lottery, and convicted criminals would be monitored less closely outside prison walls. Those are among the hundreds of programs and services which would be halted or scaled back, according to an analysis released by the Office of Financial Management. In all, 34 state agencies would be shut down and 24 others would incur a partial cessation, said Mary Alice Heuschel, chief of staff for Gov. Jay Inslee. Twenty-five agencies would continue operating because they are funded wholly or in large part from sources other than the

state’s general fund. Meanwhile, the leader of the state Senate predicted the Legislature can be done Sunday, one day before layoff notices are sent to thousands of state workers. “We are going to finish on Sunday and there will be absolutely no shutdown of state government,” said Senate Majority Leader Rodney Tom, D-Medina, who is a member of the Majority Coalition Caucus ruling the Senate. Senate and House budget negotiators said Thursday they are making steady progress but are at least a day away from achieving an agreement in principle that can be written up and voted on. House Speaker Frank Chopp declined to say if he thought a budget could be passed by Sunday. Planning for the shutdown won’t stop until the Legislature acts on a spend-

ing plan for the biennium that runs from July 1 though June 30, 2015. Among those agencies that can expect to be shuttered include the Lottery Commission, Public Disclosure Commission and Liquor Control Board. Washington’s largest agencies, such as the Department of Social and Health Services and Department of Corrections would curtail some activities while community colleges, universities and the court system will stay open. Also, the Washington State Patrol and Washington State Ferries will operate because those are funded through the state transportation budget, which has already been signed into law. Only once before has the legislature come this close to forcing a government shutdown. That occurred in 1991

Fleet Readiness Center earns Whidbey Green Seal By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Fleet Readiness Center Northwest received the Whidbey Green Seal Thursday for efforts in recycling and energy conservation. As the largest command on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, receiving the award was no small feat. “This is the first military facility to earn a Whidbey Green Seal and we are very excited,” said Melody Kuschnereit, coordinator for the Sustainable Whidbey Coalition, which manages the program. Efforts to “green up” the command were spearheaded about a year ago by Aviation Administrationman 2nd Class Stephen Anderson, who made it his personal mission to get his fellow sailors to recycle, earning him the moniker “Captain Planet” at Fleet Readiness. “Anderson and his Green Team have done a lot of work to make this happen,” Kuschnereit said. Noticing that that command’s state-of-the-ar t recycling facilities were untilized, Anderson was able to form a Green Team that now routinely meets to improve sustainability processes, completes cleanups on base and dumpster dives for recyclables. Anderson said his team is very proud of the achieve-

It is his hope to create policies and programs for the Fleet Readiness Center that can then be adapted to other buildings and commands on base.

IN OUR OPINION

Compromise on OLF issue critical Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard and Island County Commissioner Helen Price-Johnson clearly underestimated the number of people who feel strongly about jet noise at Outlying Field Coupeville. Conard and Price Johnson held a public meeting Wednesday evening at Coupeville Recreation Hall. Fire capacity in the building is 150 people. That capacity was reached fairly quickly. Many of those unable to get inside — approximately 60 people — huddled near the open windows and doors trying to hear what was being discussed. What they may have heard coming from the hall is frustration, anger and concern. The intent of the meeting was to come up with mitigating options, not to debate the field’s mission and presence on Central Whidbey, said Conard and Price Johnson. Organizers did an admirable job of staying on task despite the eagerness of many attendees to call for the air field’s closure. The overflow attendance is a revelation — the issue of jet noise in Central Whidbey is a concern much greater than a “few disgruntled people” who live near OLF Coupeville. Even vocal Navy-advocate and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station supporter Joe Kunzler said the highly-charged gathering was an eye-opener for him. Kunzler is correct in his summation that the representation at the meeting was one-sided. It would indeed be constructive for Navy officials to engage in the discussion about OLF Coupeville and its impacts. Conard said base leaders weren’t asked to participate in Wednesday’s meeting, that the intention was to hear from Central Whidbey residents and come up with list of community-supported solutions, not create a back-andforth dialogue. While Navy officials weren’t invited to this meeting, there should be a second meeting at a larger venue. The Navy should be invited and represented. Clearly the anti-noise momentum is building on Central Whidbey rather than receding. Ignoring the issue won’t make it go away. Conard and Price-Johnson are unclear about what will happen next, but they plan to share findings from Wednesday’s meeting with Navy and Congressional representatives. This is a debate where both sides are steadfast that there’s no compromise. That makes reaching a compromise all the more critical.

Babe Ruth baseball team sets sights on state berth By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Heading into the season, one of the goals for the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball team was to qualify for the state tournament. Next week it will see if it can complete that quest. Oak Harbor begins district tournament play against Friday Harbor at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, at Burlington-Edison High School. Oak Harbor will need to finish in the top two at the five-team district to earn a berth in the state tournament in Port Angeles. Oak Harbor is playing in the 14-year-old division, though half of its members are only 13 years old. Also, it enters district play with only 10 players because of injury, transfers and other obligations. But the season isn’t all about a trip to state, according to coach Bill Young. The primary goal is to “prepare every player for the next level in baseball and in life,” he said. In doing so, Young requires each player to man at least three positions during the season and gives everyone a chance to pitch. Growth can be slow at

Dylan Bailey scoops up a grounder in practice this week in preparation for the district tournament. District begins Tuesday, and Oak Harbor will need to finish in the top two to advance. times and this season has been “a roller coaster with regard to performance and

attitude,” he said. He is especially pleased with his youngest players

who are “doing well for the most part” with increased arm strength and power at

the plate. However, “old bad habits die hard,” he added. “Correcting improper throwing mechanics is a frequent problem, and is accentuated on the big diamond.” He added, “Understanding the signals and executing seems to be a constant problem in spite of frequent emphasis. For lack of players initially (conflicts with basketball, wrestling, JV baseball), we got off to a very slow start on situational awareness training which is complicating play now.” Young has worked with the Babe Ruth program for 11 years after nine with North Whidbey Little League. Things are changing in the youth baseball world, he said, and if Oak Harbor wants to field a quality high school team, it needs to keep pace. OHHS has produced some quality players recently (including current college players Yale Rosen, Jay Stout, Josh Evans and David Tillotson), he said, but it is losing ground. “My perception is that the Oak Harbor community is increasingly moving toward individual over team as a matter of emphasis. In reality, when the team does well, then everyone does well as

Malloy wins grand prix Marti Malloy isn’t finished winning medals. The 2004 Oak Harbor High School graduate, who won an Olympic bronze in judo last summer, captured a gold medal at the Miami Grand Prix June 15. The event was the first grand prix held in the United States, and Malloy thrilled the home crowd on the way to winning the 57 kilogram division. Malloy defeated Hungary’s Hedvig Karakas in the title bout. Karakas finished fifth at both the London games and 2013 European championships. “This was the highest level event for judo other than the 1996 Olympics ever held on U.S. soil,” Malloy said, “and I was determined to bring home a gold for my host country. It was an honor and a pleasure to do so while the crowd chanted USA! USA! USA! It was very satisfying, and I couldn’t be happier as my San Jose State University teammate Colton Brown (men’s 90kg) captured the only other American medal for the event by winning a bronze.” Malloy was the only American to win one of

we learned from our state champion football team and subsequent undefeated regular season football team.” He noted that a recent Babe Ruth opponent from Seattle charges over $1,000 to play and has three paid coaches. Young said, “Most have no concept of the costs involved in fielding a quality team and program, not only in time and money, but in personal sacrifice.” Young and assistants Jim Hannahan and Dominique Herring are volunteers. He also pointed out that Oak Harbor, unlike some other communities, does not require its youth league coaches to attend training to ensure consistency of techniques taught. Regardless, Young said, baseball is a great game: “The memories of a gamesaving catch or throw, stealing home, or of a grand slam home run to win a tournament, not to mention graduation from college or military academy, are rewards beyond description and keep us coming back for more.” Now the 2013 Oak Harbor Babe Ruth team hopes to make its own memorable highlights on the way to the state tournament.

Only one other American woman finished in the top seven. The American men picked up a fifth and two sevenths to go along with Brown’s third. Nearly 300 judoka from 37 countries took part in the event.

The next significant match for Malloy is the world championships in Rio De Janeiro at the end of August. She said, “Right now all my attention is going to be focused on being ready to hopefully take a gold medal there as well.”

The annual Deception Pass Challenge mini-triathlon takes off from Cranberry Lake at 8 a.m. today. The race features a half-mile swim in Cranberry Lake, a 13-mile bike ride over roads and trails, and a four-mile run from West Beach to Goose Rock, an elevation of 484 feet, and back. The event is sponsored by Deception Pass Park Foundation to raise money for interpretive services and preservation projects within Deception Pass State Park. Last year the Foundation was able to fund interpretative park signage, CCC facility renovations, an Americorp interpretive staff person, Junior Ranger programs, footpath bridge replacement and new amphitheater seating. A Discover Pass is required to park within Deception Pass State Park. For more information about the Challenge and a course map, visit deceptionpassfoundation.org/challenge

Surrendering can be more powerful than you’d think FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE

The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender. -- William Booth In August of 1912, more than 150,000 British citizens passed by the casket of William Booth. Those who attended his memorial service numbered 40,000 — including then Queen Mary. Born into obscurity and spending his entire adult life serving those challenged by mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, and the complexity of issues stemming from poverty, William Booth died a man greatly respected for his faith, putting his faith in action, and undying dedication. If his name is unfamiliar to you, no doubt you will recognize the organization he founded: The Salvation Army. One hundred years later this world-wide organization is still active, revered, and known for being one of the largest distributors of humanitarian aid. In the beginning, the Salvation Army was much more a movement, with a quasi-military structure and government but never any weaponry. Officers directed their attentions to the daily well-being of people and evangelizing the poor. Order, respect, deep Christian faith and selfless love provided solid foundations for their efforts. Surrendering for a man such as William Booth seems incongruous. It evokes a vision of a military officer, walking toward an enemy line waving a white flag. In such a scenario, we imagine him walking in defeat, expecting to be overtaken by the opposition, incarcerated and perhaps brutalized. We envision brokenness. An abrupt end to a campaign. A future filled with uncertainty. But Booth says something very different. He says that surrender is not about admitting defeat and turning your future over to someone else in response. We live in a society where the pioneer spirit is embraced. We value individualism. So what does surrendering look like in reality? It’s a topic my dear friend Bebe and I tackled over soup and salad this week. It’s frequently a hard-fought process of accepting situations and circumstances you don’t welcome but greatly impact your life. It’s working through grief and fear, dread and uncertainty, anger and unwelcome inconvenience. It’s a choice you make to let go of old plans, expectations and hopes. Surrender involves moving forward. It’s taking on a willingness to adjust your life to fit new realities. It’s taking your energy and searching for peace and gratitude, hope and a future with new plans. It’s taking an intellectual knowledge of God and asking Him to enter into your daily life. It’s asking Him to transform old ideas and habits. Surrendering is agreeing that our life stories will sometimes unfold as we live them. Just because we make plans does not mean that changes to those plans are not going to provide experiences that we value and long for. Surrender is a step toward God and being part of Him. It’s about a bold consideration that there just may be more ahead for us than what we value and have experienced here.

A centennial celebration will be held from 1-3 p.m. today for Neil Barn, an Oak Harbor landmark once part of a dairy farm.

100 years of memories Oak Harbor’s iconic Neil Barn celebrates its centennial anniversary

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Even at 88, Helen ChatfieldWeeks is still known to do a little jig from time to time. It makes her want to dance just knowing that a towering red wooden structure still stands tall in Oak Harbor. The Neil Barn is home to many of her fond memories. “I love to dance,” ChatfieldWeeks said, “and I loved to dance there. It’s really a sign of the olden days, you might say. That’s what people did in town; they had dances on Saturday night. It was what we did on the weekends.” Feet have been pounding the floor boards of the Neil Barn in Oak Harbor for a century. From its beginnings as a dairy farm, to its heydays as a roller rink in the 1950s, 60s and 70s until its current status as a boys and girls club, the Neil Barn has been a center for activity in Oak Harbor for generations. Better known as the Roller Barn, a name it got in 1950,

Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times

Roller skating only takes place at the Roller Barn on Friday nights unless you rent the whole barn for a weekend skate. Volunteer Lexi Jones, in gray sweatshirt, colors with kids during the summer camp program that is being offered by the barn’s tennant, the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor. the towering wooden structure is 100 years old this month. A century after Whidbey Islanders came by boat and horse carriage to dance the night away at the barn’s opening bash in June of 1913, a more mild party by comparison is taking place today to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the historic barn. The Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor is opening the hatches on the barn for a free public celebration from 1-3 p.m. The party will include

a barbecue, roller skating, a bounce house for kids and tour of the barn, which is located at 98 N.E. Barron Drive. Not that Oak Harbor residents can’t spot it. It seems every longtime resident past or present has a memory or story to share about the barn. Sue Karahalios considers it a local icon. “It’s one of the few historic things the city of Oak Harbor has,” said Karahalios, the former state representative and city councilwoman who’s lived

in the city since 1963 and was president of the first youth center at the barn. “Hopefully, we won’t ever lose it. It is our history.” Lots of dirt has been stirred up on the grounds since logger and dairy farmer James Andrew Neil ran a dairy farm on the property in the early 1900s and hired Dutch builder Otto VanDyk to construct what was at the time the largest barn on the West Coast.

es turned to cars and teenagers after the barn was transformed into a roller rink by Soren Rasmussen and Darrell Ellis in 1950, and the barn has been a popular destination for youth ever since. Karahalios, a 1967 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, remembers the teen dances in the summer the most and how they put her town on the map. “KJR radio used to be the only rock and roll channel anybody would listen to,” she said, “and the Oak Harbor Roller Barn was on KJR. They used to talk about Oak Harbor’s Roller Barn. We had people coming from everywhere. “Those dances were incredible.” Over the years, the Neil Barn has survived the threat of a bulldozer and an arson attempt. As portions of the property were sold off and apartments sprung up around it in the early 1990s, the Neil Barn was almost swallowed

by residential development. The way it stands now, the barn is surrounded by apartment complexes, representing a stark contrast from the past and the present. But in 1994, Whidbey developer Bill Massey sold the property to the Partnership with Youth at a generous price with the stipulation that the local landmark remain standing. The building filled a much needed void in the community at the time as a youth center for after-school and summer programs under the direction of staff and volunteers. Partnership with Youth later became the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor, which is a unit of the Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County. On a recent afternoon, dozens of kids were sprawled out at the center watching the movie, “Oz the Great and Powerful,” while others played basketball, foosball, pool and joined the staff in floor games. Some were fast asleep as the group had recently returned from swimming at the nearby John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

The boys and girls club recently began its summer camp program with more than 60 kids enrolled. The camp runs from 6:45 a.m. until 6 p.m. through Aug. 30. Nikki Barone, the Oak Harbor unit’s new director, said between 60-100 kids show up in the afternoons during the school year. “It’s busy,” she said, “but it’s fun.” “I like it here,” said Xander Hodges, 7, who attends summer camp with his little sister Eden. “I wouldn’t like it if it was still a barn.” For about 10 days in October, Neil Barn becomes something all together different. Since 2000, the ground floor of the barn has been transformed into “Frightville,” the most wicked haunted house on Whidbey Island. The door to the haunted house’s entrance is visible as you walk into the Boys & Girls Club but remains locked. Inside the massive, musty basement that once housed cattle are haunted house props, including severed plastic body parts. Volunteers come to Neil Barn as early as March to begin prepara-

tions for the haunted house. “I have been downstairs working in the haunted house all alone and it can be really spooky,” said Duncan Chalfant, who is on club’s board of directors. “It’s big and it’s dark for the most part. There are times when the hair will stand up on the back of my neck.” Chalfant will be on hand for the anniversary celebration and said the tour will include a walk through the area used for the haunted house. On the ceiling near the back of the basement, one can still see the black stains of smoke that occured during a failed arson attempt in 2011. Once upstairs, Chalfant said he plans to open the ceiling hatch above the skating rink so guests may see a unique view of the rounded barn. He said there’s about 30 feet of empty space between the ceiling and roof above it. “There’s nothing there,” Chalfant said. “The roof holds itself up.” Chalfant said the roof was inspected by a structural engineer about seven or eight years ago

and it was deemed to be sound. The engineer told him heavy snow resting on the roof could pose the biggest problem. Chalfant knows there will be a day sometime in the future when the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor will have to look for a new home. The engineer told him costs would exceed $1 million to replace the roof. “We’d like to stay there for as long as we can,” Chalfant said. “It’s the biggest place in town. “It has its drawbacks, too. It’s a barn. It’s kind of cool in the winter time and kind of hot in the summer time. It is a barn. Everybody there really likes the barn. Somewhere in the back of our minds, we realize it’s not going to last forever.” But so far, it’s lasted 100 years and recently landed on the state’s Historic Barn Register. “I am so happy that it is still being used by people,” ChatfieldWeeks said. “It’s the heart, it’s the soul, it’s the spirit of Oak Harbor,” Karahalios said. “That is so important.”

“Navy” emblazoned on them, Ford stood on the steps of the stage and argued against closing the runway. “I’m not going to lecture anyone about doing their homework but I did mine,” Ford said. “Let’s get on with life. I don’t believe in the sound of freedom technically, but freedom is not free.”

decision. She cited arguments of why the alcohol proposal should be rejected. She said most of the people who drive under the influence don’t get caught; Oak Harbor has limited public transportation options; easing restrictions would encourage more alcohol use in parks; and any profits made from alcohol sales won’t matter if someone is injured or killed due to an impaired driver. “It’s sending a message to youth that alcohol is needed to add to events,” Hellmann said Friday. Oak Harbor City Council member Tara Hizon said during a city council meeting earlier in the week that she proposed alcohol sales at park events at the request of Oak Harbor residents and event organizers. Hizon acknowledged during the council meeting that there is a per-

BY THE time a vote was taken, many who were standing outside the Recreation Hall had left. “I felt terrible about it,” said Conard. Conard and Price Johnson scheduled the meeting thinking the Recreation Hall would provide enough space. Promotion of the event by private advocacy groups, however, swelled attendance. By the time Conard and Price Johnson realized just how many people planned to attend, it was too late to change the location, Conard said. To address the limited space, priority seating was given to Central Whidbey residents. THE PREFERENTIAL seating was a source of grumbling from some who were denied access. One the Navy’s most outspoken supporters, Sedro-Woolley resident Joe Kunzler, recorded the event through an open window. It was only at the urging of the crowd that a Whidbey News-Times reporter, who showed up 30 minutes early, was allowed into the hall to cover the meeting. While many of those inside the conard building called for shutting down the air field, the purpose of the meeting was to identify other solutions, Conard said. MODERATOR VALERIE Reuther was commended by the mayor and others for keeping the crowd on task. Separated into groups of about 10, attendees wrote how jet noise is affecting them. A speaker from each group read the greatest impacts to the rest of the room. Kelly Keilwitz cited the effect on children at the nearby ballfields at Rhododendron Park. Glenda Cantrell repeated a story from a teacher who talked about impacts on student learning. Maryon Attwood talked about the negative consequences on business and having to sleep with ear protection. NOISE STUDIES conducted by professionals at her studio registered noise levels of up to 82 decibels inside their sound-proofed home, claimed Attwood, and up to 113 decibels outside. Another woman said young farmers who are rethinking plans to spend their lives on Central Whidbey. Vivian Rodgers Decker, the wife of a Navy man with VAQ-129, was applauded when she spoke out against the airfield and voiced hopes for a retirement with less jet noise. A retired audiologist talked about health impacts and having recorded noise level readings of up to 128 decibels and fourth generation Central Whidbey farmer Georgie Smith discussed the consequences of noise on Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Finally, Larry Richards claimed noise has not only increased, but there appears to be a change in flight paths, which has effected a new contingent of homes. MEETING ATTENDEES were asked to vote on mitigation strategies they would prefer to see imple-

mented. Many reiterated their position that the only option is to close OLF Coupeville, but when pressed by organizers, voted on a list of alternatives. The most popular, with 68 votes, was to move all touch-and-go operations to Oak Harbor. The second highest priority, 47 votes, was to reduce operations to two days a week. While the meeting lasted only about 90 minutes, the debate continued into the next day with many airfield supporters and critics arguing their positions on social media websites, including the Whidbey News-Times website and Facebook page. KUNZLER DESCRIBED the meeting as “onesided,” but somewhat eye-opening in that the landing strip’s impact is more widespread than he initially perceived. “It’s more than just a few noise makers,” Kunzler said. “There’s about a hundred or so and we’re going to have to deal with this and it’s going to be a long haul.” His view on OLF Coupeville, however, remains unchanged. Kunzler said the airfield is needed and must remain intact though “cost effective mitigation” is warranted. KUNZLER CALLED on the Navy to hold its own community forum. It would be an opportunity for base leaders to explain directly the necessity of the air field and address other issues as well. “The Navy needs to communicate with the public,” he said. Conard said base leaders were not asked to participate in Wednesday’s meeting. The intention was to hear from Central Whidbey residents and come up with list of community-supported solutions, not create a back-and-forth dialogue, she said. Conard and Price Johnson said they planned to meet this past Friday and review the information collected. What happens next is unclear, though the general plan is to communicate their findings to Navy and Congressional representatives. REPRESENTATIVES from the offices of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen attended the meeting. Price Johnson said Thursday she’d already heard back from Murray’s and Cantwell’s reps. They want to be kept apprised and involved in the issue. Conard said she hopes the information gathered, particularly a list of mitigation possibilities, will result in options for Central Whidbey residents while the fate of OLF continues to be debated. Asked how the Navy will respond to the anti-air field sentiment expressed at the meeting, Conard said, “I certainly think it will get their attention.”

REBUKE CONTINUED FROM A1 adjourn the meeting without giving Severns a chance to respond. The mayor relented in response to a motion by another councilman to allow Severns to speak. Severns calmly explained that he and his wife have a “premarital agreement” to avoid a potential conflict of interest. That means, Severns said, that he did not participate in a vote benefiting him financially. “You should be aware of that before you start making a comment about this sort of thing,” Severns said. Dudley said his comment directed at Severns still stands, adding he was not aware of a premarital agreement, and neither was the public. “I don’t know what agreement you have; what I’m saying is the appearance,” said Dudley. Councilman Jim Campbell, one of Dudley’s more vocal supporters, then attempted to close the meeting, but other council members wanted to speak out on the mayor’s remarks. “It seems like the comment of the mayor is chastising the council for not getting all the information that we need,” Councilman Danny Paggao said. “I did research on this and also talked to Mr. Severns, and, based on the information I have received, there is no conflict

ception the proposed regulations would lead to an “open season” for alcohol in city parks. “That is absolutely not the case,” she said. Alcohol will only be sold during special events scheduled three or four times a year. Hizon said bringing alcohol to Oak Harbor parks would continue to be against the law. Hizon’s proposal would allow alcohol sales in designated beer gardens and at wine tastings that take place at park events. The Oak Harbor Music Festival last year had two beer gardens located on Pioneer Way, she said. During the three-day festival, there wasn’t any alcohol-related incidents that were reported, according to Hizon. “I think we have a pretty good track record of responsibility going.”

of interest.” Councilman Joel Servatius supported Severns. Servatius said he suspects Dudley’s motives for making the allegations will be clear to the viewing public, though he did not elaborate. “I think the viewing public, as they are made aware of the comments made tonight, will be very aware of why those comments were made,” Servatius said. Servatius added that he believes it is “incredibly inappropriate to discuss a dollar amount that any staff or employee of the city receives.” Earlier in the meeting, the council voted on a proposal to delay the implementation date of a 2 percent cost of living increase and the termination of an “opt-out” provision for non-represented employees. A majority of council members, including Severns, said they had heard from city workers worried about the financial ramifications. Campbell said that some employees told him they would have to move or find second jobs. The council agreed unanimously — Councilwoman Beth Munns was not present — to delay implementing the proposal until January 2014. The intent, council members said, is to examine the financial impacts of the proposal more in depth and look for alternatives.
