Federal suit filed; OLF practices suspended By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
A Central Whidbey community group aiming to close Outlying Field Coupeville has taken its fight to federal court. Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe & Peaceful Environment filed a lawsuit Monday. Capt. Mike Nortier, commander of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and Adm. Bill Gortney, Commander Fleet Forces Command, are both named as parties in the suit. In a Thursday statement, the Navy declined to comment on details of the suit, but it did reveal a major change of airfield operations.
“It would be inappropriate for the Navy to comment on the specifics of pending litigation. “Last month, however, the Navy decided to temporarily suspend field carrier landing practice (FCLP) operations at OLF Coupeville until the end of the calendar year. “This decision will create operational impacts, and is not considered to be sustainable for the long term. Conducting all FCLPs at Ault Field will interfere with other necessary operations, entailing delays and operational conflicts.” EFFORTS TO engage Navy leaders about jet noise concerns have failed and legal action was the last recourse, said representatives of the citizens
group. “The only way we could get them to talk to us was to file a suit,” said Maryon Attwood, a member of the group’s board of directors. In June, the organization’s attorneys, Seattlebased Gendler & Mann, gave the Navy 30 days to begin an in-depth review of operations at the airfield based on National Environmental Protection Act standards. The letter also included a privately funded noise study that claimed aircraft performing touch-and-go maneuvers at the airfield are so loud they represent a health risk. See LAWSUIT, A14

Cort named interim reserve manager By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Saturday, July 20, 2013 • Whidbey News-Times
Vehicle decals no longer required on Navy bases By JANIS REID
Coupeville resident Lisbeth Cort has been selected to serve as interim manager of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. She will be filling in for the next three months as Reserve Manager Mark Preiss is leaving for a job in Montana. His last day is July 26. “I think we are very fortunate to have (Cort) apply for the job,” said Jan Pickard, a trust board member. “She has great knowledge of the reserve and preservation.” “She has professional experience that makes us feel very confident about making the transition to a permanent hire.” Before opening an interior decorating firm in 2011, Cort had a 30-year nonprofit career, primarily in the field of historic preservation. She served as executive director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and Utah Heritage Foundation as well as assistant director of the Western Regional Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Lisbeth Cort, a Coupeville resident with a background in non-profit and historic preservation work, has been named interim director of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Cort is also a former Trust Board member, has served as communications consultant for Ebey’s Forever Conference, technical editor of the design review guidelines and trainer for the first series of Historic Preservation Commission workshops last year.
Given her background, Cort said she decided to apply for the job because it was a way to help the reserve through the transition. “They have so many things going on,” Cort said. “It’s basically just to keep the momentum going and
not miss a beat.” Her tenure will include assisting with several field school projects but be largely dominated by helping with the search for a permanent replacement. Her contract ends at the end of October.
Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, along with Navy bases across the country, no longer requires vehicles to have permanent installationaccess decals as of July 1. Instead, gate security will rely on electronic credentialing and increased scrutiny in verifying identification cards manually, according to a Navy news release. Officials suggest personnel with current decals maintain them on their vehicles through the expiration dates so they have more time to register vehicles in the Consolidated Law Enforcement Operations Center system at the pass and identification office, which is a continued requirement. Originally, the decal program was created to ensure that vehicle owners traveling on base were complying with state regulations for registration and insurance. As state programs have become more uniform and efficient, it has eliminated the need for a base decal program. In addition, elimination of
the decal program should result in costs saving and a reduction of administrative tasks, according to the news release. Those using privately owned vehicles on NAS Whidbey will still be required to meet state and local requirements including valid insurance, vehicle safety inspections, registration, proof of motorcycle safety training and vehicle emissions compliance where applicable. Rental vehicles are considered privately owned vehicles for purposes of base entry and access control. The vehicle rental contract will suffice as proper licensing, registration, and proof of insurance for base access. Parking enforcement will be maintained according to existing NAS Whidbey parking plans. In efforts to ensure that vehicles meet state regulations, base security will conduct random administrative checks, and will also continue to rely on the assistance of the military community to report suspicious or abandoned cars.
Man arrested for having items from suspected murderer’s home By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A Greenbank man was caught with an industrial meat slicer, a washer and dryer and a TV allegedly stolen from the vacant home of a murder suspect, according to court records. Prosecutors charged Curtis Farrow, 35, in Island County Superior Court July
18 with possession of stolen property in the first degree, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of an unlawful firearm. Robert “Al” Baker is being held in the Island County jail and was charged with firstdegree murder in the death of his wife, Kathie Baker. The Greenbank home they once shared is a crime scene and has been vacant
for the past year. The property manager reported three times in the past three months that the house was burglarized. On July 15, the landlord of a different house, located on Shoreline Drive, reported that someone may have been living in it, though it was supposed to be vacant. He reported that a door was open and the hot tub
was filled. The man also reported that his partner’s Jeep was stolen. Deputy Darren Crownover with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated with another deputy. They reported they found an assortment of belongings on the property which were not supposed to be there. The items included a meat
slicer, a 50-inch flat-screen TV, a washer, a dryer, a license plate belonging to Baker and black bag with the name Baker on it. The items were all reported stolen from the Baker residence, Crownover wrote in his report of the incident. In addition, the deputies found a sawed-off .22-caliber rifle and a .357 Ruger, which were stolen from other
Whidbey Island residents. The deputy interviewed a woman who said she had been living at the Shoreline Drive home with Farrow and others. The woman and Farrow had rented the house previously, but were no longer supposed to be living there, the report indicates. The Jeep was found parked at the Bayview Park and Ride.

New programs aiming to curb rising Navy suicides By JANIS REID Staff reporter
With U.S. Navy suicides on the rise, nationwide and local efforts are being made to increase soldier resiliency. While Navy suicide rates are historically lower than national and Department of Defense rates, they have trended upward over the past three years “indicating a problem,” according to a report released by the Navy in April. With the death of 59 active duty and six reservists, 2012 marked the highest number of Navy suicides in 17 years. The suicide rate reached its peak in 1995, with 69 active-duty suicides. According to the Navy report, leadership’s approach to preventing suicide is to increase sailor resiliency, defined by the Navy as “the process of preparing for, recovering from, and adjusting to life in the face of stress, adversity, trauma, or tragedy.” Locally, the Fleet Readiness Center Northwest at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station conducted a “Life is Worth Living” photograph contest, with four images selected as winners out of more than 30 entries. Created this year by NAS Whidbey’s
See the August Whidbey Crosswind for publication of all the winning photographs in the “Life is Worth Living” contest. own Suicide Prevention Team, the contest aims to boost morale and remind sailors what is important in their lives. At a national level, the Navy established the 21st Century Sailor office in June, with a mission to prevent suicide as well as provide resources for sailors and their families to help with other Navy concerns such as hazing, substance abuse, sexual assault, physical readiness and transition assistance. “The goal of 21st Century Sailor office is to provide our sailors with the support network, programs, resources, training, and skills needed to overcome adversity and thrive,” Rear Adm. Walter Carter, director of the 21st Century Sailor office, said in a July news release. “Resilience is not one program or initiative, but a comprehensive effort to build life skills that not only ensure Navy readiness, but also fully develop the personal and professional talent of
our force.” The 21st Century Sailor office was created as part of Task Force Resilient, which was chartered in January to review Navy resiliency efforts and suicides, and make recommendations for suicide prevention. “There is much work to be done, but the 21st Century Sailor office establishment is an important step toward supporting life skills programs that our sailors will want to better themselves and improve our readiness,” Carter said. The 21st Century Sailor office will comprise six individual policy branches: Total Sailor Fitness, Suicide Prevention, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, Sexual Harassment Prevention and Equal Opportunity and the Office of Hazing Prevention. The creation of the Navy 21st Century Sailor Office began June 1 and will be completed prior to January 2014.

A voter-approved initiative proved to be the death knell for a small Coupeville business. Nearly two years after a voter initiative privatized liquor sales in Washington state, Coupeville Liquor Store will shut its doors in the coming months. “The writing has been on the wall for quite a while,” said Pam Smith, who has owned Coupeville Liquor Store for more than 18 years. She is planning to close her business sometime in September. Voters approved Initiative 1183 in November 2011. It pushed the state out of the liquor business. By the time privatization became effective in June 2102, the state had auctioned off its liquor stores and laid out the regulations that allowed hard liquor to be sold in large retail stores. Only businesses greater than 10,000 square feet in size are able to sell liquor in Washington state, unless someone has one of the
licenses that were grandfathered in. Small contract stores like Smith’s were grandfathered in and allowed to continue selling spirits. Once liquor became available at large retail stores, Smith said her business rapidly declined. She estimates her business dropped by about 60 percent. She noted several other barriers that got in the way of her business. Because her shop is so small, she had trouble with distributors and a quirk in the initiative interfered with her ability to sell to restaurants. Smith said she had several reliable restaurant accounts that provided a steady flow of income for the liquor store. Once the initiative became effective, she was forced to add a 17 percent fee, which is the same fee charged to consumers. Because of that, she said, restaurants went to distributors who didn’t have to tack on such a charge. The liquor store in Oak Harbor closed in late 2012. Smith opened Coupeville Liquor Store in 1995.

One property, valued at $2.7 million, has a 8,000-square-foot, rustic-style house with timber and stone siding. The assessor’s database shows that Ballmer purchased the small, 1965-built beach house for $250,000 in 2007. Forbes reports that Ballmer listed it for $189,500 and sold it for $169,500. The house has three bedrooms, a water-facing deck and access to the community pool and tennis court. The Ballmers’ primary residence is “a large house at Hunt’s Point, across Lake Washington from Seattle.” Its estimated value is $10 million. Steve Ballmer is listed as No. 19 in the Forbes 400 wealthiest people. His net worth is estimated at $15.2 billion.

Coupeville, but recently sold a 1,144-square-foot beach house for $169,500. “All of the properties lie close together, creating a sizable compound on the bluff above the beach, except for the small, previously mentioned beach cabin, which is separated by another parcel from the Ballmer estate,” the Forbes story states. It’s no secret that Ballmer owns a vacation home not far from Greenbank Farm. He caused a ruckus a few years ago by landing a helicopter at the farm. Ballmer’s property is close to, but was unaffected by, the massive landslide at Ledgewood earlier this year. The Island County assessor’s database details the properties owned by the Ballmers. Two of the properties have appraised values of more than $1 million.

Oak Harbor Wants To Know... I think we all experience conflict/s in our lives, in one way or another. It could be a simple disagreement between husband and wife or a not-so-simple family feud. Two people or groups of people coming together cannot be expected to agree on everything. People tend to respond to conflicts based on their perceptions influenced by their own beliefs, culture or values. The Danny Paggao strategy is usually to win the game. Losing is not in the vocabulary. City Councilman In the City Council meetings, we experiPosition 7 ence conflict/s all the time - a clash of opinions dealing with municipal issues. One example is the “Rehabilitation of Downtown Oak Harbor”. We communicated with each other our individual beliefs and reasons through a respectable and healthy debate. After the smoke disappeared, I lost the battle. However, as one of the leaders of our City, I supported the democratic process and the wishes of the majority. I collaborated with the majority with the rehabilitation of downtown Oak Harbor because I believed that the underlying benefits on the improvement of infrastructures on Pioneer Way outweighed the chosen route. Therefore, I believe that respect, communication and collaboration are the core values in achieving satisfactory resolution, “a win-win for everyone”.
What is the greatest conflict you’ve experienced and how did you resolve it? –Terica Taylor Resident of Oak Harbor
Paid for by The Committee to Re-elect Councilman Danny Paggao 688 NW Ensign Drive, Oak Harbor, 98277
Although the volatility of the building industry and the conflicts associated with running a heavily regulated business have certainly been challenging, the greatest conflict I have faced is that of war and the difficulties that come with a wartime injury. Fully aware of the conflicts I would encounter and the sacrifices I would Lucas Yonkman make, I felt called to join the army in 2006. As an infantry Sergeant I City Councilman dreamed of becoming a helicopPosition 4 ter pilot and was headed that way when, on deployment to Afghanistan, my Striker Combat Vehicle was struck by an IED. Physically unfit for continued service, I was abruptly forced to find another career. Battle torn but undeterred, I returned home to Oak Harbor to begin work as a project manager for the family business, Yonkman Construction. Soon thereafter I seized an opportunity to become part owner of a general contracting company. Through this struggle I’ve learned that although we are faced with challenges, if dealt with properly we can turn any conflict into an opportunity. Following the devastating end to a career that I loved, I’ve made a new life for myself. I have returned home to run a business and will continue to serve my community.

IN OUR OPINION
Questioning the need for Navy ‘DUI Days’ Some Whidbey Island Naval Air Station squadrons have an incentive program that rewards sailors for not getting behind the wheel after drinking. Simply put, the program says, avoid alcoholrelated incidents and the whole squadron gets a day off. The goal — responsible drinking — is desirable. The result — fewer alcohol-related accidents and injuries — is desirable. The necessity for such a program, however, is dubious. Dubbed DUI Days, the program began at NAS Whidbey about a year and a half ago as a means of curbing alcohol-related incidents. The incentive program works by rewarding entire commands, rather than individuals. If the squadron goes without an incident for three months, they all get one day off. Some squadrons have worked hard to earn a four-day leave, according to Chris Phillips, the base’s executive officer. While not all squadrons participate, those that do say they’ve achieved impressive results. In 2012, 50 active-duty service members were caught driving while under the influence. This calendar year, which ends Sept. 30, saw just 18. This is a commendable improvement and sailors, and all others who drink responsibly, should be congratulated for this vastly-improved statistic. But not with days off of work. Military life is undoubtedly tough. Service members are away from home, doing difficult jobs and are asked to put their lives on the line. However, drinking responsibly is a basic responsibility, something we expect of all adults. Not getting behind the wheel of a car after having a few too many is worthy of praise, congratulations and appreciation. But giving a day off of work for what amounts to a social obligation shouldn’t be necessary.

Letters to the editor
OLF
Navy could be using field 365 days a year Editor, In response to Michael Monson’s opinion in the July 17 edition of the Whidbey News-Times, perhaps the Navy knowing this is the prime tourist season is being a good neighbor and allowing the merchants, artists and all the other folk that make a good dime this time of the year and enjoy the good weather. And keep in mind, regardless of what some think, in the event of need as authorized by Congress, they could use the field 24-7, 365 days a year. Personally, the jets don’t bother me. Perhaps instead of talking about things you may be totally unaware of, perhaps you should thank them (and offer) empathy and understanding. Yeah, yeah, I know, “they closed the base in Maryland.” They may close this OLF also, but, if needed, they can go for it again. Also, to Kelly Emerson, my God what a load — pay your fine prior to continued pontification, thank you.

We need to speak out on privacy concerns Editor, There were a lot of noises and flashes on the Fourth of July, just as there was a lot of news coverage of Edward Snowden. The focus of both events seems to be on the sensational instead of focusing on the substance. What does Independence Day mean to us today? In 1776, it meant being free from the oppressive government of England which denied many rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech and privacy. Has the sensational news coverage of Edward Snowden masked the devastating invasions taking place on our freedom of speech and rights to privacy by both corporations and government? Whether you consider Snowden a traitor, information thief, whistleblower or hero, his leaks revealed the shocking nature of surveillance that is taking place in the United States today.

According to leaked top secret documents, the National Security Agency obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and other Internet giants in the United States. U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, of Colorado, said, “I don’t think the American public knows the extent to which they were being surveilled and their data was being collected. “I think we ought to reopen the Patriot Act and put some limits on the amount of data that the National Security Agency is collecting. It ought to remain sacred, and there’s got to be a balance here.” Personally, I’d like to continue to email letters to the editor concerning any topic without fear of being monitored by the government. If you’d like to join me in speaking out, write to our members of Congress and president to let them know you want strict limits and regulations put on the surveillance and collection of data from the American public. Also, there needs to be Congressional involvement with full access to oversee the activities of the National Security Agency. Bob Effertz Clinton

GUEST COMMENTARY
Washington Business Week offers unlimited potential By Don Brunell
Each summer for the past 38 years, students and adult leaders from across our state have gathered at university campuses for week-long free enterprise “boot camps” called Business Week. Brunell There are other summer youth camps and school programs that focus on potential business careers, so what’s so special about Business Week? What happens in Business Week is different. It has a magical quality that transforms the lives of both the students and the adults who mentor them. I’ve been involved as an adult leader in Business Week since 1980. From the beginning, we wanted to ensure ethnic and economic diversity among the students, and we wanted to involve teachers as leaders and mentors. To make that possible, we asked employers and service clubs to subsidize the program and provide scholarships so high
school juniors and seniors from all backgrounds could attend. It worked. At Business Week, students cover the spectrum of economic backgrounds. Some participants have never been on a college campus, while others are world travelers. Kids that are sometimes shunned in school interact with star athletes and student leaders. Skin color and the size of bank accounts simply don’t matter at Business Week. When they first arrive, many of the students are unsure and skeptical, but by the second day, the magic has begun. By Friday — graduation day — hesitant strangers are transformed into confident enthusiastic friends who have a difficult time saying goodbye. How does that magic work? First, friends who arrive together are separated. Any clique, relationship or history that previously defined a student — in their eyes or the eyes of their peers — is gone, replaced by an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to remake yourself. At Business Week, students are placed in groups of 10. Each group forms a company,
creates an innovative product, figures out how to produce it efficiently, and crafts a marketing strategy. The teams live together, eat together, work together and learn together. Students are encouraged to share their experiences, to listen and understand. They learn how to work in teams, but they also learn how to lead. At week’s end, the teams participate in a trade show where they sell their ideas to “investors” — business, educators and community leaders from across the state who donate their time to Business Week. Seeing these young people come together, to watch as their confidence grows, to see them transform into self-assured, enthusiastic, imaginative people — often surprising themselves in the process — is a phenomenon that is difficult to describe. It happens with the adults too, as major business leaders bond with teachers and students they’ve never met and may never see again. So what transforms people? First, the program is about learning life skills. It’s more than just being tops in the business simulation program. It is the real-
ization that you have untapped ability and potential. Second, it is unconventional because students are challenged to be grounded and creative at the same time. Innovation is the order of the day. Third, Business Week offers students firsthand experience with risk and responsibility. Adults provide guiding hands, but the students develop their companies, find solutions to problems and create something the world has never seen before. Finally, it is about bringing disparate people together to work, live and have fun. Traditional class, ethnic and economic barriers evaporate for a week. Diversity, creativity and unlimited potential have drawn generations of immigrants to America’s shores for over 200 years. All of that is compressed into just one week at Washington Business Week. That’s the magic of Business Week. n Don Brunell is president of the nonfprofit Association of Washington Business in Olympia. AWB is the state’s oldest and largest statewide business association.

Jon Matthew Rubin
Jon was born to Patricia and Seymour Rubin on Nov. 24, 1958 in Tacoma Wash. He attended Sherman Elementary School, Mason Junior High School, and Stadium High School. After high school he worked different odd jobs before joining the United States Navy on February 8th 1979. He was an electrician in the SEABEES for 11 and a half years. During that time he traveled around the world. In 1979 he was stationed in Adak, Alaska, 1,200 miles west of Anchorage. In 1981 he was stationed at Port Hueneme, Calif. On June 27, 1981 he married Teri Edwards; four days later he left for Europe. He toured Rota Spain, Signorelli Sicily, and Souda Bay Greece. Jon often referred to Souflaki as Greece’s hamburger.
In December 1981 he returned to Port Hueneme, where he reenlisted on Jan. 28, 1982. Spring of 1982 through spring of 1984 he was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 1984 through summer of 1986 he was stationed at Sand Point in Seattle. June 1986 Jon returned to Adak until May of 1990 when he separated from the Navy and returned home to Tacoma, Wash. In 1990 he moved to Whidbey Island and worked as an electrician for Dakota Creek boat yard in Anacortes. On Feb. 6, 1992 he was divorced from Teri Edwards. After divorcing he moved back to Tacoma and spent four years working for Patricia and Al Turner at A&P Carpet Cleaning. In December 1996 Jon was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.). Not long after, he moved back to Whidbey Island and went back to work at the boat yard until he was laid off in 2000. Aug. 5, 2000 he was remarried. In 2002 he began using a wheelchair which he used until his death in 2013. Jon had wishes to die in his sleep. That wish came true July 11, 2013 when he passed away while sleeping in his bed.

Legion starts tourney by splitting tight games By JIM WALLER Sports editor
The Oak Harbor Legion baseball team opened the district tournament in Mount Vernon with two thrillers, one an extra-inning loss and the other a last-inning comeback win. Oak Harbor fell 8-7 to Anacortes Wednesday in eight innings, and then scored three runs in the seventh to defeat Stanwood 4-3 Thursday. Oak Harbor played Bellingham in a loser-out game yesterday; results were not available at press time. If Oak Harbor won, it will play today, July 20, at either 11:30 a.m. or 2 p.m., depending on the outcome of other Friday games, at Mount Vernon’s Skagit Dream Field at Skagit Valley College.

four-inning stretch. Oak Harbor missed four grounders, resulting in errors and five unearned runs.
And Oak Harbor missed assignments, failing to cover first twice on bunts. Oak Harbor and Anacortes
finished the summer league season tied in fourth with 9-7 records, but the Steamers were the only club in the nine-team league Oak Harbor didn’t beat at least once during the regular season. Again Anacortes escaped with a win over Oak Harbor, this time coming from three runs down heading into the bottom of the sixth. Anacortes scored an unearned run in the bottom of the first to go up 1-0. Oak Harbor took the lead with two runs in the top of the second. In the second, the Wildcats loaded the bases (walks to Clay Doughty, Anthony Stewart and Rhys Mattila), but it appeared Oak Harbor might squander the opportunity. However, with two down and two strikes, Brent Mertins ripped a two-run double. Anacortes regained the lead with two in the bottom of the third, then Oak Harbor, after leaving two on in the third and fourth, scored four in the fifth.
The start of the inning was similar to the second. Doughty singled and Stewart and Mattila walked to load the bases. And again Mertins hit a two-out, two-run double. Teddy Peterschmidt walked, Jack Richter was hit by a pitch and Brandon Bailey singled to add two more runs. In the sixth, Mattila doubled in Stewart to push the Oak Harbor lead to 7-4. Anacortes knotted the score with three unearned runs in the sixth. While the Oak Harbor defense was sloppy at times, it turned a double play to erase a threat in the bottom of the seventh. The bottom of the eighth started with an odd play. Richter took a bad-hop grounder off his face, recovered the ball and threw to first baseman Mattila. The throw pulled Mattila off the base toward home and into a collision with the runner. See legion, A10
Lacey hoops it up with region’s top basketball players By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Oak Harbor graduate Mike Lacey is rubbing elbows with some of the country’s best basketball players this summer. Make that trading elbows. Lacey, a 2003 OHHS grad, is playing in the Jamal Crawford Seattle Summer Pro-Am League, a basketball curcuit formed in 1996 by then pro Doug Christie. Christie, a Seattle native, wanted to provide a competitive avenue for the city’s best high school, college and professional players to grow and continue Seattle’s illustrious basketball tradition. Current professional player Crawford, another Seattle native, now sponsors the league. The talent in the league is dispersed evenly with at least one current NBA player on each of the eight teams. The idea is to create competition and for the top players to set a standard of play for the others on the team. The league includes area NBA players Crawford, Nate Robinson, Spencer Hawes, Isaiah Thomas, Tony Wroten and Lacey’s teammate Brandon Roy. Throughout the summer other NBA stars make guest appear-
ances. This year Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, LaMarcus Aldridge, John Wall and Brandon Jennings are slated to drop in. The purpose of the league is to create competition and not publicity. The league’s original name was “All Hoop, No Hype.” In the past games were played at the Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club, but it has outgrown that venue and now plays at Seattle Pacific University’s Brougham Pavilion. Games are generally played every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the first of several contests usually beginning at 1 p.m. The league runs through Aug. 11. Besides playing in the pro-am league, Lacey competes for the Seattle Mountaineers, members of the American Basketball Association. ABA scouting director Randy Redwine also coaches in the Crawford league and selected Lacey for his club, the Vandals. The Vandals, along with Roy, include former University of Washington stars Will Conroy and Mike Jensen. Lacey, who played at Central Washington University in 2005, said, “Playing with guys like Jamal Crawford and Mike Jensen, guys I grew up watching play at

Mike Lacey, left, is playing in a basketball league sponsored by NBA player Jamal Crawford, right, this summer. The league features many of the region’s best players, including professional players from the Seattle area. Rainier Beach and the University of Washington, is kind of surreal. I
have found myself at times wondering what I’m doing on the court
with these guys, but after a few trips up and down the court I’m thinking more about the game than the people that I am playing with. “The most impressive thing about playing with these guys is the way they make everyone around them better.” The first time Lacey played with Crawford, he was “nervous and excited at the same time.” During the game Lacey passed up a few shots, and afterward Crawford told him to “shoot the ball; you got this, don’t worry about passing it back to us.” This surprised Lacey. He said he thought all the NBA players would want to dominate the ball; however, he found them “very humble and willing to help others succeed.” He added, “These guys give back so much to the community of Seattle and to the state of Washington; they are always willing to take pictures and sign autographs.” Lacey lives in the Magnolia district of Seattle and is an instructional assistant in special education at Overlake Specialty School through Overlake Hospital of Bellevue. Lacey may live in Magnolia, but his hoop dreams are taking shape at Brougham Pavilion.

Mattila was able to tag the runner during the pileup before crashing to the ground. The umpire inexplicably called the runner safe. The game was halted for a few minutes while Richter was treated and Mattila recovered. Two bunt singles, one with no defender at first, loaded the bases. After a force out at the plate, a single to right ended the game. Mertins finished 3-for-5. Peterschmidt, Bailey, Doughty and C.J. Meders sinPhoto by Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

Things looked dreary for Oak Harbor as it trailed 3-1 heading into its final at bat. Mertins continued his hot hitting in the tournament with a rally-starting single. Peterschmidt worked to a full count, fouled off a pitch and then walked. An error allowed Mertins to move up. Bailey’s fly ball to centerfield scored Mertins, and Richter reached on an error. Doughty, like Peterschmidt, battled to a full count. After fighting off two more pitches, he walked to load the bases. Rhys Mattila walked to force in the tying run, setting up Stewart’s heroics. Stewart singled sharply off a defend-

Stewart, the centerfileder, ran down a line drive in the gap late in the game to save two runs. Oak Harbor’s other run came in the first inning when Mertins opened with a double, went to third on Bailey’s single and scored on a passed ball. Stanwood scored single runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings, two coming via squeeze bunts and another off Oak Harbor’s only error. Danny Wolfe pitched the first five-anda-third innings and received strong relief from Tyler Snavely. The pair combined for a six hitter and struck out six.

HUMPIES CONTINUED FROM A1 anglers out in force along the beaches and on the water. Pink salmon, or humpies as they’re commonly known, only return to Puget Sound in odd-numbered years, historically arriving in their greatest numbers in August, peaking by the middle of the month. The pinks, however, are already trickling into the Sound and are legal to catch in Marine Area 9, encompassing Admiralty Inlet, on the west side of the island. That means that popular shore fishing areas along the beaches at Keystone, Lagoon Point and Bush Point are fair game for anglers, who are able to keep two pinks and a combination of four salmon overall as a daily limit. CHINOOK ALSO are being caught. That fishery opened July 16 in Admiralty Inlet with boat anglers raving about early success near Fort Casey for that deeper water type of fishing. Salmon fishing around the rest of Whidbey Island opens Aug. 1, just in time for the expected slam of pinks. Ryan Lothrop, Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said this year’s pink run will rank in the top three historically in the state since they’ve been keeping such records. The largest return to Puget Sound, according to department data, was in 2009 when between 9 and 10 million pinks passed through, which was nearly double the expected forecast of 5.2 million. “There’s going to be pretty good fishing up in that region,” Lothrop said. TO BRACE for fishery, sporting goods departments from Clinton to Oak Harbor are stocking up on fishing gear, filling the shelves with pink artificial lures and jars of smelly lotions. Popular lures for pinks are Buzz Bombs (as long as you remove the the treble hook and replace with a single, barbless hook) and Rotators. Among other devices anglers try are Gibbs Blizzards and Flutter Jigs, a creation of Whidbey Island’s own Chris Brooks. The lure Kyle Eckles used to harness his humpy was a pink Crippled Herring within 15 feet of shore. “Humpies like the color pink,” said Bob Crouch, a sporting goods employee at Sebo’s hardware store in Bayview. “It has a lot to do with shrimp. They eat shrimp and creel.” SEBO’S HAS a huge display of pink fishing gear near the entrance of the store. Pink lures, even pink hooks. Anglers in South Whidbey like to glean bits of wisdom from

Not only are humpies attracted to fluttering flashes of pink, scent also plays a role, he said. He advises lathering up a lure with the lotion using a pastry brush, not one’s fingers. The primary aim is to hide the human scent from the salmon. Anglers believe in all sorts of quirks. JOHN RUDD, of Clinton uses his own unique method, butting two pink beads against a pink Buzz Bomb. He fished the shores of Bush Point Wednesday night. “I think it makes a little audible sound that makes my luck a little better,” Rudd said. At the Ace Hardware store in Oak Harbor, at least one employee swears by pink Rotators. There is a large cardboard arrow that points to a tray stuffed with Rotators to make it easy for anglers to find the lure. “Two years ago, it just exploded,” said John Hetherington, who works in the sporting goods department at Oak Harbor’s Ace Hardware. “People were calling us from boats, ‘Got any Rotators in?’” “We were all sold out.” PINK FEVER is unlike any other fishery on Whidbey Island. It’s a popular fishery because of the abundance of salmon and the ability for a novice angler to stand a good

chance of catching one from shore with the proper gear. Crouch said a beginning angler can get set up with a rod, reel and gear for under $50. Anglers also must purchase a state saltwater fishing license, which can cost about $32 when you include dealer fees. The investment can reap pink salmon that average between 3-6 pounds.
But it is important to remember to use a single barbless hook, Crouch warned. Barbed hooks can be made legal by pinching off the barb with needle nose pliers. SOME ANGLERS turn their noses up at pink salmon, complaining that the meat softens too quickly after being caught. Others defend the pinks, saying as long as you “bleed out” the fish after they’re caught

and throw them on ice, the meat holds up fine. Crouch is one who sings the praises of pink salmon. It’s possible he might even do a dance if necessary. He knows a nice downpour of rain is often the trigger that drives salmon to their freshwater destinations. Often after a rain this time of year, pink salmon enter Puget Sound in greater numbers. “I thought I felt a sprinkle,” Crouch said as he walked out of Sebo’s Wednesday night. Then he raised his arms to the sky. “Come on rain!”

Harley riders travel down Pioneer Way as part of a parade for the Washington H.O.G. Rally.
Shannon Olson watched with envious eyes as a parade of Harley-Davidson motorcycles rolled out of the parking lot of the Coachman Inn & Suites Thursday night. Olson, a front desk clerk, got to see the start of a motorcycle parade that traveled through downtown Oak Harbor. Dozens of Harleys rode by her. “I have been on bikes since I was 4 years old,” Olson said. “If anything, I was jealous.
A rider waits during staging for the parade at the Coachman Inn & Suites. “I’m familiar with the culture. It’s nice to see American made stuff rolling out of

Extreme makeover
Real estate company devotes day to sprucing up elementary school By RON NEWBERRY
W Staff reporter
ith a paint brush in one hand and a smile on his face, Steve Olson bore a look of contentment as he spread a fresh coat of red paint on a guard rail at Oak Harbor’s Olympic View Elementary School. Around him were five dozen associates working toward a common goal. “It’s awesome giving back to the community,” Olson said. Olson was one of 65 employees from Forest City Enterprises participating in the real estate management and development company’s annual nationwide “community day” Wednesday, July 17. Every year, Forest City targets a site in the communities in which it is based for service projects. This year, the designated site in Puget Sound was Olympic View Elementary School in Oak Harbor. Forest City is a property
management partner at the three U.S. Naval bases in Puget Sound. The company built 359 units for military housing at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 2009 as part of a public-private venture with the Navy and still manages the property. As part of a rotation between the naval communities, this time it was Oak Harbor’s turn for the community day event. Scott Corley, maintenance superviser at Forest City, said he and many employees drive by Olympic View Elementary School along Regatta Drive multiple times a day and noticed it could use a little help with curb appeal. He knew the majority of the children at the school were from military families. It turns out, nearly 80 percent are, according to Joe Hunt, communications director for the Oak Harbor School District. “I saw an opportunity,” Corley said. With an army of help, and generosity from vendors, that opportunity turned into a

tackle 11 different projects at Olympic View. Projects ranged from repainting a mural of the United States
map on the courtyard to rebuilding a playground wall for games to pruning juniper bushes. Workers also dug into the earth and carved out base paths on the baseball diamond, pressure-washed and painted. Sherwin-Williams donated paint. Brickman landscaping company gave truckloads of beauty bark. Maillards Landing nursery and Home Depot also contributed to the project. New Oak Harbor schools superintendent Lance Gibbon came out to watch the transformation. “The way a school looks
really makes a difference in how students, staff, and community feel about their school,” Gibbon said. “Forest City’s work at Olympic View Elementary looks great and is really going to make a positive difference for our kids.” Crescent Harbor Elementary School’s playground got a makover in 2009 the last time Forest City tackled a community day project in Oak Harbor.

“They’re a blast,” she said. “They’re probably some of the most pleasant guests we’ve had.” Approximately 370 riders were expected for the H.O.G. Rally with maybe half of that number arriving in time to participate in the parade. A police motorcycle escort led riders across Highway 20, down Midway Boulevard, along Pioneer Way and back up Ely Street to complete the route. The parade was over in less than 15 minutes. “I think it was probably the fastest parade I’ve ever seen,” said Julie Rosenthal, who stepped outside of her workplace at the UnSizeMe yoga studio on Pioneer Way to watch the event. “I wished it was longer,” said Tammy Theriault, who watched from across the street with her husband, four children and both parents. Her dad, Mike Connell, a retired motorcycle patrolman from El Paso, Texas, came to see the Harleys. He rides a 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King Peace Officer Special Edition. “The only thing close to this is the Oyster Run in Anacortes,” Connell said of the Northwest event that takes place Sept. 22 this year, sending riders through Whidbey Island’s interior.

Theriault said she was struck by the number of women riding Harleys in the parade. “There were almost more women than men,” she said. The H.O.G Rally itinerary included several scenic rides on and off Whidbey Island, bike games, dinners and social hours. It was a gathering of riders as well as an occasion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the North Cascade Washington chapter of H.O.G., which covers Skagit and Island counties. Among those who attended were Woody West and Terry Werderitz, who rode to Oak Harbor from Oconomowac, Wis. They are part of Wisconsin’s Rock River H.O.G. chapter. Their trek is part of a 15-day, 6,000-mile ride through western states to honor veterans and first responders and raise awareness for Remember Rally, a nonprofit organization that is trying to raise money to build a specialized health facility and retreat for those adversely affected by exposure to toxins. By the time they’re done riding for this cause over four years, they will have traveled to 48 states. “A lot of veterans are coming back with Post Traumatic Distress Disorder,” said West, who served in Vietnam. “It seems like it’s more serious now.” Read about their mission at www.rememberrally.com Corley liked the idea of helping Olympic View and walked the grounds with school principal Laura Aesoph to identify areas of most need. “With my job as a maintenance manager, I was trying to find places where if you put some resources you can make a difference,” Corley said. “I thought all this needed was a little bit of resources.”

LAWSUIT CONTINUED FROM A1 According to Attwood, the Navy did not respond. THOUGH SPECIFICALLY named in the lawsuit, Nortier declined to comment, saying it would be inappropriate to talk about pending litigation. Congressman Rick Larsen, a Second District Democrat and member of the Armed Forces Committee, also declined to weigh in. “As a member of Congress, Rep. Larsen does not weigh in on pending lawsuits so he will not be commenting,” wrote an aide, in an email to the Whidbey News-Times. The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington in Seattle, alleges that the Navy failed to meet requirements outlined in the National Environmental Protection Act. The group is asking a federal judge to intervene and force the commission of an in depth review, known as environmental impact statement. “Basically, we’re trying to get them to do what they should have done in 2005,” Attwood said. THE NAVY completed an environmental
Churchill CONTINUED FROM A1 the stand and accused him of lying about the shape of a stab wound on one of the victims. “He has lost his right, through his behavior, to represent himself,” Churchill said. Lambert’s standby attorney, Tom Pacher, will take over Monday. Pacher took the position late last month after a previous standby attorney left Pacher’s firm. Lambert is charged with the Oct. 3, 2011 murder of his two grandfathers, August Eisner and George Lambert, and the kidnapping of his great aunt. He is asserting an insanity defense. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks rested his case Monday afternoon and Lambert started presenting his defense Wednesday. During his opening remarks, Lambert went through the evidence he hopes to present. He focused on his history of “really extreme, odd behavior” and talking to himself. “The evidence will show I got a history of not-very-well-documented mental episodes,” he said. He pointed out that he had “no normal motive” for committing the crimes. He said the voices in his head drove him to kill the elderly men during a mission to save his son. Lambert then called a series of guards from the jail to testify about him talking to himself. He became upset when the prosecutor objected to his questioning of the jail administrator. “I was under the impression that the prosecutor has been to law school,” he said sarcastically after the jury was excused. Lambert called his mother to the stand and questioned her about his troubled childhood. She explained that he got into trouble for truancy and running away from home, as well as other bad behavior. She sent him to a “boy’s home” in Mississippi when he was in eighth grade and a couple of years later sent him to a special camp for troubled youth in Samoa. She testified that he was different after

assessment in 2005 that examined the base’s planned transition from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler aircrafts. The lawsuit contends the new planes are not only louder than the Navy’s assessment claims, but the jets are flying more frequently than predicted. “(The group) and its membership have been significantly harmed by a significant increase in flight operations at OLF Coupeville,” the complaint said. “Members suffer a variety of health impacts, including a loss of hearing, loss of sleep and loss of ability to focus or work.” According to the lawsuit, the 2005 study estimated flight operations would fall 20 percent, from 7,682 in 2003 to 6,120 in 2013. The group alleges, however, that operations have exceeded that prediction since 2010, topping out at nearly 9,670 last year. Also, the organization’s recently funded noise study asserts that recorded noise levels that are “well above the levels requiring hearing protection and are high enough to potentially result in permanent hearing loss.” The noise study is one of the cornerstones of the lawsuit but not everyone is sold on its conclusions.
referring to the anti-OLF group’s findings. “I grew up under a flight path and I hear just fine,” she said. Like many who believe the noise complaints are superfluous, Johnson called the lawsuit “unfortunate” and said that it puts the base’s future in jeopardy. During a recent meeting with Navy leadership, Johnson said she learned that airbases with carrier-based squadrons need an outlying field within 50 miles or two parallel runways. “We don’t have two parallel runways,” Johnson said. “The linkage between OLF and NAS Whidbey makes this conversation dangerous for the future economy of Whidbey Island,” she said.
“I QUESTION the validity of any study commissioned by a special interest group,” Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson,
ISLAND COUNTY Commissioner Helen Price Johnson’s position on the issue is less clear. Asked to comment on the lawsuit during an interview Wednesday, she said it’s a separate matter from her efforts to find immediate solutions. “I want to stay focused on what I think I can do,” Price Johnson said. She and Mayor Nancy Conard recently hosted a community meeting in Coupeville in an attempt to generate mitigation strategies. They contend the airfield fate is not in their hands, but that they can work with Navy leadership to reduce the impact while the matter
returning home. “You were very paranoid,” she said. “You always slept with some kind of weapon, like a bat or a bar.” She described his other odd behavior: He called in the middle of the night and warned “to get out because they were coming to get us;” he talked to himself often; he spoke in different voices. Lambert then called himself to the stand. He asked himself questions and testified from the defense table. He spoke at length about the events surrounding an assault he committed in Alaska years ago. He said voices told him that a man had raped his ex-girlfriend and that his toddler daughter confirmed it by speaking with him telepathically and in encoded messages. He said people spoke to him through “aura body language.” Lambert eventually described the murders. He said the hallucinations started two days before; the voices threatened that his son would be killed if he didn’t complete a mission that involved getting guns to kill a bad FBI agent who kidnapped the boy. Lambert said the dominant voice, “a judgetype person,” told him he was legally authorized to kill certain people. “He said he had authority over the government, the police and the military,” he said. Lambert’s testimony was temporarily put on hold so he could interview other witnesses Thursday. The day started out well for Lambert. He called Dr. Lawrence Wilson, who was originally a prosecution witness, to testify about his competency evaluation. Wilson found that Lambert was competent to stand trial and also offered a diagnosis that included amphetamine abuse and the possibility of psychosis, schizophrenia and malingering, which he said could mean faked or embellished symptoms. Wilson said he considered the possibility that Lambert may be exaggerating his schizophrenic symptoms, though he said he placed it last on the list of possibilities. He admitted that accounts from Alaskan jail guards that Lambert “held court” by himself for hours in his cell adds credence to the possibility that Lambert is schizophrenic.
Lambert, however, became upset when Wilson said he meant to write in a report that it’s “possible” Lambert may suffer from a psychotic disorder, instead of a definitive diagnosis. He argued with the judge and made sarcastic comments after she sustained objections about his questions, prompting her to remove the jury and warn Lambert about his behavior once again. “The next time you do this is the last time,” she said. “I will not put up with this disruptive behavior any longer.” Lambert agreed to follow the rules and called a former friend, Misty Mann, to testify. She described his odd behavior years ago. She said he spoke to a person who wasn’t there and thought he could read her mind. “I just remember you saying you had people in your head and you couldn’t be around other people,” she said. Under cross examination, Mann admitted that Lambert and his ex-girlfriend used meth frequently; under redirect, she said Lambert seemed to have delusional thoughts both on and off meth. Bishop was the last witness called Thursday. Lambert quickly became frustrated by the coroner’s answers to questions about one of the victim’s wounds. He repeatedly asked to interview Bishop in private, but the judge refused to allow it. Churchill sent the jury out of the room and even helped Lambert by sorting through autopsy photos. Lambert continued questioning Bishop but quickly became upset. “I see what you’re doing. I see what you’re doing,” he said aloud, earning a warning from the judge. Lambert asked Bishop why he doesn’t remember any details that support his case. Banks objected, saying he was harassing the witness. Churchill sustained the objection and again warned Lambert. Lambert, clearly angry, asked Bishop if he knows what perjury is. Churchill immediately excused the jurors and announced that Pacher would take over as defense attorney. “What did I do?” Lambert asked before the judge left the courtroom.

is being decided. Price Johnson did say, however, that the reality of flight operations is not what was outlined in the Navy’s 2005 study. “It is different than what was expected.” THE CITIZENS of the Ebey’s Reserve’s lawsuit is seeking a “temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction” that would require the cessation of flight operations at the airfield until the study is completed. Joe Kunzler, a Navy and OLF supporter, said he favors having an additional study, but called the group’s request “over the top.” “I’m just outraged,” Kunzler said. “That’s not a solution.” Environmental impact studies can take years to perform and pilots can’t go without a place to train for so long, he said. Kunzler said he launched an online petition to save the airfield. The Navy 60 days to respond to the lawsuit. The Navy confirmed in its statement this week that it is already looking at “the need for further NEPA action for Growler operations at NAS Whidbey Island and OLF Coupeville.” Navy officials promise to keep the community informed of study plans. “The Navy will notify the public if and when any further NEPA action commences.”
Murder suspect attacks jail mgr. By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Accused killer Joshua Lambert attacked the jail administrator Thursday after a judge took away his right to act as his own attorney during the ongoing trial, according to Island County Sheriff Mark Brown. Brown said De Dennis, the jail administrator, and two corrections deputies went into Lambert’s cell late Thursday to explain to him that his privileges as a pro se defendant were being revoked. That meant Lambert could no longer have his boxes of paperwork or any other trial-related materials. Lambert allegedly became angry and attacked Dennis. Brown said the deputies took Lambert to the ground and secured him. He spent the night in the padded “blue room.” Brown said Dennis suffered minor injuries, but was at work Friday. The Coupeville Marshal’s Office is investigating the incident as a possible third-degree assault, according to the sheriff. Lambert has been acting as his own attorney over the last 20 months. He is alone in a small cell block. One of the cells is filled with boxes of his paperwork. Judge Vickie Churchill ruled Thursday afternoon that Lambert can no longer act as his own attorney because of his outburst and inappropriate questions during the trial. Lambert is charged with the Oct. 3, 2011 murder of his two grandfathers, August Eisner and George Lambert, and the kidnapping of his great aunt. He argues that he is not guilty by reason of insanity.
