Preserved for future generations
Trust buys 113 acres of farmland By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
the land trust, said this was the biggest property preserved to date on the north side of Penn Cove within Ebey’s Landling National Historical Reserve. The Muzzalls’ farm covers 800 acres of property, but the 113 acres
protected serves as the central hub of the family’s farming operation. The Muzzall’s business and their family’s history on Whidbey Island also made their land a good candidate for preservation, she said. “It’s one of the finest working
farms on Whidbey Island and it’s a century farm,” Powell said. According to Ron Muzzall, Jennifer’s father, the deal has been in the works for about eight years and he is relieved all the details were finally hammered out.

10 am 6 pm
A land deal between a longtime farming family and a nonprofit group has resulted in the permanent preservation of 113 acres of pristine North Whidbey farmland. The Whidbey Camano Land Trust announced Wednesday that it reached an agreement with the Muzzall family, owners of 3 Sisters Family Farms, to purchase a farming conservation easement on their property along the north side of Scenic Heights Road overlooking Penn Cove. Terms of the contract allow the family to keep farming the area forever, but leaves the development rights under the control of the land trust. Both sides said they are pleased with the arrangement. “This is huge,” said Jennifer Muzzall-Jones, a fifth-generation Muzzall family member to farm the property. The deal furnished the family with needed capital — the recession has been tough — and provides stability for future Muzzall generations, she said. “We’re preserving farmland, which means we get to keep doing what we love,” she said.

Pizza man’s murder trial delayed until Oct. JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Robert “Al” Baker’s trial will be delayed after all. The 63-year-old pizza man turned accused murderer was set to go to trial Aug. 13. His attorney, Tom Pacher of Coupeville, asked the judge for a continuance last week — citing health problems and toll of litigating another murder trial — but was denied. This week, however, the prosecution and defense were united in a request to delay trial. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said an expert witness wasn’t available to testify this month. Judge Alan Hancock agreed. Trial was reset for
Oct. 1. This was the fifth time the trial was continued since Baker was arrested last summer. Baker, who’s being held in the county jail, appeared at the brief hearing Monday. Baker and wife, Kathie, owned Harbor Pizzeria in Freeland. They met at a scientific research station in Antarctica, where they both had worked for Raytheon Corporation. Kathie Baker was last seen alive June 2, 2012. Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office star ted investigating her disappearance after Kathie’s boss at Raytheon Corporation in Denver reported that he couldn’t
get hold of her. After finding bloody drag marks in the house and getting contradictory stories from Baker about his wife’s whereabouts, detectives obtained a search warrant for the home, according to court documents. Investigators found Kathie’s tarp-wrapped body in a ravine behind their home. Her cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head and ligature strangulation, according to the county coroner. Investigators found a ball-peen hammer with hair stuck to it in a garbage can in the garage, court documents indicate. A detective’s report on the case indicates that the

complaint at a Southeast Barrington Drive residence on the night of July 13 and found Baker and a woman standing in the doorway. Clements said he knew Baker was wanted on several warrants, so he told him to put down the fanny pack he was carrying. Baker put the pack down slowly and suddenly bolted, Clements wrote. Clements caught up to Baker, pushing him against a parked car. Baker abruptly turned to face Clements, who grabbed his wrist, causing something to fall to the ground. Clements said in his report he later realized it was a pocket knife with its blade opened and locked. Baker ran again and Clements was able to quickly stop him. Baker continued to resist until other officers arrived, the report said. Baker told him that he always carries a knife and that it must have fallen out of his pocket, even thought the blade was locked open. Baker said he wasn’t trying to stab the officer. Officers searched Baker and allegedly founds drugs. He faces up to seven years in prison.

Tractor chase suspect pleads not guilty 30th National Night JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A man accused of getting drunk, stealing a John Deere tractor and a shotgun then leading police on a slow-speed chase through Coupeville appeared in court this week. Josiah Blodgett, 24, of Aberdeen pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court to theft of a motor vehicle, attempting to elude police, DUI and illegal possession of a firearm. Blodgett is being held in jail in lieu of $10,000 bail. He could face up to a year in jail if convicted of the charges. A rural Coupeville woman reported to police on July 15 that Blodgett was intoxicated
and took a neighbor’s tractor. She said a shotgun was missing from the home. Island County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Fortin responded to the chase in progress on State Highway 20 near the Island Transit complex. Blodgett was driving the tractor northward at about 15 mph, swerving all over the lane of travel. Fortin stopped on the side of the road and motioned for Blodgett to pull over, but the young man just smiled and waved. Blodgett also waved at occupants of other cars that passed by. Fortin noted in his report that a long gun was leaning, muzzle up, on the side of the
tractor’s rear fender. Three police cars pulled behind the tractor as it passed through the lights at the intersection with Main Street in Coupeville. Deputy William Dennis stopped ahead of the tractor in the southbound lane just north of Broadway Street. Blodgett suddenly swerved the tractor into the southbound lane, forcing Dennis and drivers behind him to back up to avoid being hit, the report said. Blodgett turned back into his lane and continued swerving around as Dennis drove in reverse in front of the tractor. Fortin ordered Blodgett to stop over his PA system and
the young man eventually did. The deputies arrested him after securing the shotgun and showing him how to turn off the tractor. “Blodgett became extremely belligerent, partially resistant and (was) yelling profanities at me,” the deputy wrote. “I could smell a strong odor of intoxicants coming from Blodgett’s voice as he spoke.” Deputies also found a pellet gun on the floor of the tractor. Blodgett was being sought on a felony warrant and several misdemeanor warrants at the time of his arrest, court records said.

Highland Games marking 15 years at Greenbank By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter
Get your cabers ready to toss. A group of Scottishminded people will get their large poles ready for hurling when they participate in the annual Highland Games, which takes place Aug. 10 at the Greenbank Farm. The event opens at 8 a.m. and competitions are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Highland Games is a one-day festival celebrating all things Scottish. The day features athletic competitions, bagpiping, highland dancing and more. Oak Harbor resident Fionna Strong, 15, has danced since she was 4 years old, attended the Oak Harbor
Public Market and the Coupeville Public Market to demonstrate highland dancing and promote the upcoming games. The games were started in 1998 and were organized by Maureen Lee and her family. She said they had just moved to the island and wanted to organize an event that would add to the culture of Whidbey Island. Lee, her husband Angus, and her children Cameron and Callum, are bagpipers. They also own the Tartan Thistle, which distributes bagpipes and supplies online. She said her family’s interest in bagpiping goes back generations.

Veterans receive help at ‘Stand Down’ event at American Legion By JANIS REID Staff reporter
For Gene Berg, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, being able to sign up for the Agent Orange registry through the Veteran’s Administration gives him peace of mind. “It helps me stay on top of any health concerns I may have down the road,” he said. Berg, a volunteer at the Veteran’s Resource Center, is this year’s coordinator of Veteran’s Stand Down, an event aimed at assisting veterans as they return to civilian life and making them aware of the VA benefits to which they are entitled. “Many are eligible for benefits but they’re not aware of that when they leave the military,” Berg said. “When you get out of the military,
you’re just eager to get on with your life and you kind of think you’re already enrolled (in the Veteran’s Administration), but it isn’t automatic.” The Whidbey Island Stand Down is 9 a.m to 5 p.m. today, Aug. 3 at the American Legion Post No. 141 in Bayview. All area veterans and their families are welcome to attend this event. The event this year emphasizes families of veterans, homeless veterans and senior veterans who have never felt the need to enroll, but are now advancing in age and are unaware of the advantages of the enrollment. “If we can help veterans be aware of their benefits, that’s a good thing,” Berg said. Veterans “Stand Down” is a
community-based activity that was started in 1988 in response to the overwhelming number of underserved veterans in America. Since then, the program has been widely replicated nationwide. Today, more than 200 Stand Downs take place across the country every year. Started for veterans, by veterans, the event is designed to help servicemen and women return to a civilian lifestyle after their term of military service is completed. Collaborating community organizations assist in housing, solving legal issues, finding employment opportunities, accessing health services and benefits, enrollment in VA systems and helping them reconnect with their communities. “This special event is designed
to demonstrate support and assistance to our magnificent veterans, regardless of their age or era of service,” said Ret. Col. Greg Stone, the president of the Veteran’s Resource Center board of directors. “We also anticipate representation from community and civic leaders highlighting their support to our amazing veterans.” Right on Highway 525, the event is accessible via free Island County Transit and will have free food, coffee and haircuts. The event is sponsored and supported by a number of area organizations including the Goose Community Grocer, Payless Foods and Whidbey Island Coffee. The event is primarily funded by a fundraising concert each year hosted by Trinity Lutheran Church

Pro-OLF rallies building momentum despite fears By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The first rally supporting the Navy’s use of Outlying Field Coupeville was held July 27, despite fears expressed by some of a negative backlash. Twenty to 30 people attended the event, and a second rally begins at 10 a.m. today, Saturday, Aug. 3 at the intersection of Pioneer Way and State Highway 20. Many of the ralliers said they’re turning out in support of the Navy and in response to a federal lawsuit over jet noise at OLF Coupeville. Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment filed the federal lawsuit in July. In their complaint, members of the group are asking that the Navy conduct a new, indepth environmental impact study due to the aircraft noise. Though a reason wasn’t given, in June the Navy suspended field carrier landing practice at OLF through the end of the calendar year. Alongside a handful of Navy spouses and retired sailors who attended Saturday’s rally, a few city council members and candidates were in attendance. Those who attended pro-OLF Saturday’s rally showed their support with American flags and signs with messages like “I support the sound of freedom” and “honk if you (heart) freedom.” Many refused to talk on the record or give their names, however, and said they’re afraid they’ll be confronted or harassed. Oak Harbor City Councilwoman Beth Munns, who attended the rally, said that for an impromptu event, she felt like the turnout was good. Munns said she attended the event to support the Navy and its integral role on Whidbey Island. “Our pilots need that training,”
Munns said. “It is essential. It’s a little noise here and there, but it’s been there since 1941 and when you buy a property down there you should know what you’re getting yourself into.” Oak Harbor City Council candidate Skip Potilla, who also attended the event, served 20 years in the Navy as a bombadier and navigator, trained at OLF during his time stationed at NAS Whidbey. “The training provided at OLF is invaluable for landing on aircraft carriers,” said Pohtilla. Information about the rallies is being spread via a pro-OLF Facebook page. The site quickly swelled to more than 3,000 “likes.” The creator of the page spoke to the Whidbey News-Times Thursday, but declined to give her name. Organizers of the page, she said, “wouldn’t feel safe releasing their name due to their link to the base.” On Tuesday the site posted a reminder about today’s rally, encouraging attendees to “bring signs, flags and bumper stickers.” By default, Wendy Shingleton, owner of Squadron Spirit Apparel and Gifts on Ault Field Road, has become a public spokesperson for the pro-OLF movement. While Shingleton sells OLF and Navy supportive items, she said she is not involved in organizing rallies or managing the Facebook page. Shingleton said Thursday via email that, since being quoted in an article in the July 27 NewsTimes, along with an appearance on a Seattle-based TV news station Wednesday, she hasn’t received any negative responses. “I’ve had nothing but positive visitors, calls, and comments,” Shingleton wrote. Fear of harassment by OLF opponents may not be completely unfounded. A sailor and his family who lived

Supporters of the Navy and its operations at Outlying Field Coupeville rallied at the corner of Pioneer Way and State Highway 20. A second rally is planned 10 a.m. today, Aug. 3, in the same location. onsite at Outlying Field Coupeville requested a relocation in mid-July in response to “incidents” involving trespassing at the runway. The name of the sailor, who managed OLF’s daily operations, is not being released. Public Affairs Officer for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Mike Welding confirmed that the sailor was relocated July 12 as a result of several disturbances. “The sailor and his family who lived at OLF asked to be relocated due to several incidents where people came onto the facility without permission, including a Seattlebased media outlet,” Welding said in an email statement.
“We would ask that local citizens understand that the Outlying Landing Field in Coupeville is Navy property and that they should refrain from trespassing on the property without obtaining prior permission.” Michael Monson, one the directors of the citizens group who filed a federal lawsuit and objects to the jet noise, said Wednesday that the group still believes that “there is a hazardous noise issue” at OLF, and that the noise is “hurting the health and welfare of South Whidbey residents.” “I grant them all the freedom in the world,” Monson said of the pro-
OLF groups. “I hope it’s a beautiful day and they have a good turn out. But that’s emotion they are responding with. … We deal with facts.” “If only one side had a voice, this would not be a democracy,” he said. “Our (voice) we don’t have to do on a street corner. “Ours will be decided in a court of law.” Asked if he knew of harassment or trespassing at OLF, Monson said, “none of our people would do that.” “We don’t believe in vigilante justice.”

IN OUR OPINION Governor devotes week to farmers markets
Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee proclaimed Aug. 4-10 Washington Farmers Market Week. The popularity in farmers markets continues to increase with an estimated 150-plus markets across the state. Regional news outlets reported there is an increasing trend in consumers wanting fresh, locally grown produce, meats, cheeses and specialty foods. Lucky for Whidbey Island residents, there’s an abundance of options on Whidbey Island, including ones in our own back yard. Four out of seven days a week there’s an outdoor or farmers market to attend somewhere on the island, and shopping at these seasonal markets is a great way to support local vendors. Attending markets is also a great way to try out different produce and learn different ways of preparing fresh foods. One of the best aspects of shopping at the various markets is the ability to talk directly to the vendors and growers. Most are eager to share information about their products. It’s clear they take pride in their work and the quality of their produce and other products. Most readily share cooking methods and ideas. Oak Harbor’s market operates 4-7 p.m. Thursdays and is located on State Highway 20 near the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Make your way down the island and more market fun can be found throughout the rest of the week. Coupeville Farmers Market is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday. The market is located on the community green behind the public library. South Whidbey has four open air markets for residents to attend Thursday through Sunday. Thursdays explore fresh produce, flowers and other wares at the Clinton Market. Whidbey’s newest market also offers music, food and a beer and wine garden. The Clinton market is located off State Highway 525 behind Dairy Queen. On Fridays, Langley holds its Second Street Market 3-7 p.m. The market offers produce, flowers, music and local demonstrations. Bayview Farmers Market, near Bayview Corner, is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday. One of the Whidbey Island’s largest markets, Bayview is a fun, lively gathering that features a wide variety of vendors offering produce, fresh-baked goods, ready-to-eat foods and beverages. If purely organic is your preference, the Tilth Market operates 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays on Highway 525 south of Freeland. If you haven’t visited one of the island’s many markets, Washington Farmers Market Week is a good reason to do so.

Letters to the editor Greenbank Farm
Deal goes against recommendation Editor, With a surprise vote and no public discussion, the Port of Coupeville extended yet another contract with the private Greenbank Farm Management Group. The motion to extend the contract, at a yearly cost to taxpayers of $49,950, was made by Commissioner Marshall Bronson and seconded by Commissioner Michael Diamanti. Commissioner Benye Weber and members of the public were blindsided by the move. Nothing on the agenda indicated a motion or vote would take place and both occurred after the opportunity for public comment passed. Diamanti is filling out the term of Commissioner Laura Blankenship, who resigned from the port after accusing Bronson and the port’s Executive Director Jim Patton of “backroom scheming” to benefit the Greenbank
Farm Management Group. The $49,950 management services agreement is the second contract with the management group to be extended past its expiration date. The first was the lease between the Port of Coupeville and the management group. It required no payment to the port and it allowed the management group to keep money from rentals of port property. Had the lease expired, a holdover clause provided for the port to collect $10,000 in “monthly rent” from the management group. By extending the lease, the port passed on the option of collecting this money. Bronson’s and Diamanti’s recent move to extend the management services agreement, in addition to the lease, is the final thumbing of the nose at an eight-member executive planning group that unanimously recommended against renewal of the two contracts. Those eight citizens, including myself as chairperson, were appointed by the port to evaluate the management group and make recommendations for transitioning to a new arrangement for management of the Greenbank Farm.

six months of interviews and research, all of us, including the three members appointed by Commissioner Bronson, recommended against renewal of the two contracts. We felt that the contracts did not serve the interests of taxpayers. Both contracts would not have expired until March 31, 2014. Now they have been extended until June of 2015. Commissioners Bronson and Diamanti have locked the port and taxpayers into a contractual relationship with the Greenback Farm Management Group well into the future and, conveniently, before this next election.

MORE Letters to the editor Continued from A6
lence, boycotts and an “us vs. them” mentality all cloud the issue and are examples of bullying that have earned the United States a reputation in some parts of the world that is less than favorable. Those voices do not represent the best that our country has to offer. I am a military veteran and I live near the OLF, and often have to deal with the noise generated by the planes. I appreciate the fact that the aviators have to train, and I don’t believe it is practical or wise to spend money to build a new practice facility on the other side of the Cascades, nor do I want to pay for the fuel required for the planes to reach such a facility. On the other hand, I also recognize that the newer planes are louder, the tempo of operations at the OLF seems to have increased, and these factors have combined to change the situation from one of annoyance to one of potential health hazard and certainly affects the lifestyle of those of us living under the planes. Selling T-shirts and bumper stickers with slogans does nothing to resolve the issue on either side — it simply serves to fan the flames of divisiveness and hostility. We are all neighbors — not enemies. It seems it is time for more moderate voices to work together to attempt to resolve the issue at hand. To that end, I suggest the following two proposals for consideration. Park a retired aircraft carrier in Admiralty Inlet or some other nearby location, and use that instead of the OLF. This allows a more realistic simulation for Naval aircrews in training, and moves the primary traffic out over the water — the Navy’s natural environment.
Consider limiting use of the OLF to the winter months only. There are longer periods of darkness then, allowing more time for night carrier landing practice without extending into the wee hours of the morning. The absence of planes in the summer would allow residents to cool their homes with open windows and doors, and encourage all, residents and visitors alike, to be outdoors enjoying all that Central Whidbey has to offer. David Sharpe Coupeville
Do they care about military children? Editor, I believe in everyone’s right to their own opinion. The issue with Outlying Field has gone far beyond people stating their opinion. They have shown time and time again that, when someone tries to explain the necessity of OLF, they only care for themselves. They claim to care about the children of Coupeville. What about military children? Navy families live not only in Coupeville, but around the island. Every time a plane flies at least one family is affected. Do they care about the hardships of the children who have to spend time away from their parents? Yes, we knew a lot of this when we got married and chose to have children, but there is a difference between sacrificing for the needs of the Navy and sacrificing because someone made the wrong choices for themselves. Moving OLF would cause more hardship to our military. Moving the base would only mean that military children would have to listen
Flyers’ lives far more important than eggs
Sunday afternoon soup — something those same young men and women won’t get to taste for a long, long time. To all of you anti-OLF’s, I will have to say the same as I would say to those poor natives who starve to death from living in a barren desert all the time — move! Ginny Weeks Oak Harbor
Editor, When my daughter was a little girl, we lived right under the traffic pattern where the Vigilante — powered by twin Mach 2, loud jet engines — not only practiced carrier landings, but landed and launched all the time on that same airstrip. They were so close that I could wave at my husband when it was his turn to fly by. I fell in love with the sound of jet power, mostly because I knew that each pass the pilots made meant that they were that much closer to a safer landing on the deck of a carrier out at sea. Apparently, the safety of the men and women flying practice landings doesn’t matter to the people on Whidbey Island who are anti-OLF. It appears that their mistakes in buying homes and building play fields under a flight pattern are more important than the lives of these young men and women. Or maybe it’s that a little intermittent noise causes their chickens to lay fewer eggs. If that’s the case, there is a quick stop or grocery store just down the road that would be glad to sell you a couple dozen, I’m sure, and chickens make really good
Editor, We are a self-righteous society. Think about it: someone wants to open a business, but it does not conform to our moral standards, we don’t like the politics of the owner, or its part of a big franchise business so we say “not in our community please.” As a modern society we need landfills to dispose of our garbage, but when a location is being determined we say “not in my neighborhood.” We need sewage treatment plants to process our waste products and when locations are being selected we say “not in my back yard.” As a society we want and need these things, but we don’t want them in locations that inconvenience or are a nuisance to us. We want everything, but with no strings attached, no personal cost or inconvenience. Then there is the weird reasoning of some local folks, that they can buy property knowing full well the property they are buying is in a known military air traffic area.
to the planes in a different location. I have heard people state that Whidbey has outgrown OLF, but I’m trying to figure out how that is the fault of the Navy or taxpayers. Kathy Clark Coupeville
Bring back the ‘Sound of freedom’ billboard
Then, after they’ve been on the property for a while, they utilize freedom of speech to tell the federal government that the jet noise bothers them so the military can no longer use this air space because the “jets are too loud.” You know, the noise those jets make is a testament to the wonderful freedoms we have in this great country. Freedoms of speech and press to be specific in this case, protected and ensured by that “disrupting noise.” Can you imagine what would happen or what the response would be if a citizen in Communist China sent a letter to the editor saying the “military flights are bothering them”? First of all, the letter would never make it into the paper and, even if it did, the party would more than likely never get a chance to write a second letter. Imprisonment or death comes to mind for a Chinese citizen who speaks their mind too much. Personally, I think the Navy should resurrect an old friend, the billboard. Who remembers the huge sign that used to be at the intersection of Ault Field Road and State Highway 20? It had some very nice artwork and the sentence, “Please pardon our noise, it is the sound of freedom.” They should redesign this sign, make it even bigger and put it up on their property at the road going into Outlying Field. If you don’t like this sound of freedom, you are free to leave and go back to whatever noisy city you came from. Marc A. deLeuze Oak Harbor

Christensen joins Coupeville football coaching staff OHHS graduate begins 50th year on sidelines By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Orson Christensen’s nomadic coaching career, which is entering its 50th season, has brought him back home to Whidbey Island. After coaching college football for 26 seasons and high school for 23, Christensen is set to help head coach Tony Maggio at Coupeville High School this fall. Christensen, a 1957 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, and his wife of 53 years, Dianne, always wanted to come back to this area once his “playing days” were over. He’s back, but he is still playing. Christensen stopped coaching several times but never considered it retirement. When the opportunity came to help Maggio, he grabbed his not-very-dusty whistle and accepted the job. This is Christensen’s 15th stop on his coaching carousel: Winlock High School, Avenal (Calif.) High School, Thomas Jefferson High School (Federal Way), W.F. West High School (Chehalis), Olympic Community College, University of Puget Sound, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Eastern Oregon University, Dakota Wesleyan University, Western Washington University, Vashon High School, Aberdeen High School, Rainier Christian High School and Wapato High School.

And, yes, Diana, “is amazing,” he said. Why all the moves? He said there are a variety of reasons, but the most dominant is the positive feeling of rebuilding a shattered program. At each stop, Christensen, 75, took over a program that had not had a winning record in the previous three seasons.
His first stint as a head coach was at Avenal, a school with a history of losing. He helped lift the team to second in the California Interscholastic Federation Central Sectional playoffs. “The reaction of the community was awesome and left me with the motivation to repeat that experience,” he

The 21st annual Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association Rendezvous returns to the plains of Whidbey Island Aug. 16-18. The Rendezvous, which takes place on the CWSA grounds at 397 Safari Road, is a familyoriented history experience of the pre-1840s. The event will include camping, games, archery shoots, blanket traders and knife and hawk, as well as talkin’, braggin’ and shootin’ contests. Two campgrounds will be pro-
and collected 17 other topthree finishes. Five times he was named Coach of the Year. After a successful run at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln from 1982 to 1987, he left for Eastern Oregon University in LaGrande to be closer to an ailing family member. It took just two games to break Eastern’s three-year winless streak, but it took longer to build it into a winning program. “It was the biggest challenge,” Christensen said. “I learned to lose.” Besides losing, the Eastern program and its players had a bad reputation in the community. Christensen eventually elevated both the team’s record and its character. The highlight of his career, he said, is “centered on the many young players and coaches I have worked with over the years.” He added, “It is pleasing to know that you have had some positive influence on the lives of several people.” “As a coach,” he said, “I have endeavored to be a positive moral influence in providing positive direction to my players. My players know I care for them and want the very best for them in their lives after football.” Now that influence has come to Coupeville. Maggio said, “I am always looking to improve our program so I jumped at the opportunity to have him come work with us.” Christensen said, “I am titled ‘passing game coordinator,’ but I think my actual role has been to share my

That’s not what he encountered. “I hear that, but I don’t see that.” Christensen lettered in four sports at Oak Harbor High School and went on to start on both the offensive and defensive lines at Pacific Lutheran University, playing along side another Oak Harbor grad, Mike Teel. His freshman coach was Marv Harshman, who went on to become one of the Northwest’s most successful and admired college basketball coaches. Christensen, like his first college coach, is building quite the legacy. Fifty years he has roamed the sidelines. Will there be a 51st? “Who knows,” he said. Here’s betting there will.

A seal pup swims next to a boat moored at James Island State Park in Rosario Strait. Sealpup season is here and experts are warning the public to keep their distance.
Don’t disturb seal pups By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
They’re cute, they’re fuzzy and they’re 100 percent off limits. Seal-pup season began last month and runs through September. Experts are once again warning the public to keep their distance. Every year, people see pups that seem to be abandoned and make the mistake of “helping,” said Matt Klope, a biologist and member of the Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network. “People are very caring, almost to a fault,” Klope said. “The best thing to do to help the pup is stay away from it, far away so mom will come back and feed it,” he said. According to Klope, it’s not uncommon for mothers to leave their babies behind for two days or more to feed. These are important times for both the mother and pup; mom gets vital nourishment and the
pup gets needed rest. The mother won’t return if the pup is surrounded by well-meaning Good Samaritans, or worse, she has nothing to return to because the animal has been “rescued.” Klope said interfering with a seal pup in any way is a serious offense and a violation of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. Even experts are limited by federal law. Unless the pup is injured, there is very little they can do, Klope said. Even then, interfering isn’t always the best thing. More than half of pups don’t survive their first year. Letting nature takes its course can be difficult, but necessary. The death of a pup, for example, may ensure the survival of another animal, such as a scavenging bald eagle. “Even a dead pup serves a purpose,” Klope said. The public is still encouraged to call the Orca Network at 360-678-3739 with concerns.

Shakespeare in the tent is on for this August and September. Thanks to the support and open wallets of Bard fans, more than $32,000 was raised for Island Shakespeare Festival. However, if passersby missed seeing a 2,400-square foot, 18-foot-high tent behind Langley Middle School, it would be understandable. Delivery of the tent is a few weeks behind schedule and slated for the end of July. “Everyone will know when it goes up because it’s a big, big thing,” said Peggy Juve, the festival board’s president and development director. A delay in raising the tent did not stall the 14-member cast’s preparations. After all, the show must go on. “We’ve always been used to being outdoors,” said Rose Woods, the festival’s founder and director. “Theater, for me, is whereever we are.” “We’re not a tent. We bought a tent.” The festival ran several years at the Chinook Institute’s StoryHouse Theater in Clinton. Rose and the Island Shakespeare Festival moved to Langley this year, lured by what organizers said is easier access, ample parking, their own space and better visibility. Past seasons of the free festival’s performances have maxed out around 300 audience members, a standing-room only crowd at StoryHouse. The tent will be raised at the north edge of the lower field, framed by a green belt behind the stage at Langley Middle School. At the field, the festival is off a main roadway, a short walk from the restaurants and inns in Langley and sur-

An online crowdfunding drive through the service Kickstarter brought in more than $20,000, about $5,000 more than what was originally requested by the festival. Juve, who was in charge of building a donor base, credited large donations from Nancy Nordhoff and Lynn Hayes. Businesses which purchased advertising to underwrite this season’s production of “Much Ado About Nothing.” The tent cost $32,720; production costs were estimated around $18,000; and construction of the stage was $6,000.

location but a permanent setting. A circus-style tent worked because they could perform on fields as long as it fit the 40-by-60 foot tent. Organizers said they believe they can seat 200-300 guests inside the tent, and maybe even more on the fringes. Even though the festival lost the designed acoustics of the amphitheater at StoryHouse, the organizers will not have amplification to the tent, though there will be lighting for the first time. The first row will be within arms reach of the stage. “It’s a very intimate environment,” Juve said. “If you lean over, you’ll be able to touch the stage in the front row.” What began as a twoweekend festival in 2010 has grown into six weekends in its fourth season this year. Since its inception, the festival covered William Shakespeare’s hit plays such as “Romeo and Juliet” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” As an established festival, Woods envisions delving into The Bard’s lesser-performed works such as “Taming the Shrew” and “Richard III.” Organizers hope the festival can expand its run within a six-week period next season.

Pastor’s departure heightens fears but also opens doors FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE
I am a member of a local church that is experiencing great transition. Our longtime pastor, ever-present and reliable beyond measure, a man we trust, love, and respect, has retired. On one hand, we celebrate his decision, for his health is good and he can truly enjoy a new era of life. On the other hand, those of us who remain must re-work our sense of normal. For some members, his parting was especially difficult. Our pastor had stood beside them through many profound and life-changing events. That he would no longer be there for future events was experienced as a substantial loss. For our military members, the change in pastoral leadership has been a routine exercise. They experience changes in commanding officers and hometowns on a regular basis. Their ability to regroup has added nice balance to those who don’t embrace change as comfortably. Our pastor’s exit has prompted a time of self-evaluation. This fall we will, in fact, conduct what is termed a “mission study,” guided by an enthusiastic and welltrained transitional pastor. We will be asked to thoroughly understand who we are as a group of believers as well as who we think God may want us to become. We will respectfully consider our attitudes, common traditions and all of the activities that have to this point built a loving fellowship of friends. And through the process we will pray for our church and for a future, full-time pastor who will feel “called” to join us in ministry. We will pray individuals and regularly as a corporate body of believers each time we gather. Church leaders will make no decisions in haste. Instead, they will bring to the table all views and cover all considerations with prayer. For those of us who have lived through these transitional times in other churches, we positively view the next few months as a time of valued soul searching and growth. Because our pastor left without trauma and our people have training, experience and confidence to lead in their own spheres of interest and influence, our church life continues with few interruptions. All of this gifts us with time for meaningful conversations and prayer. It’s our belief that when people are respected and given opportunities to think out loud, to express aspirations and hopes, to dialogue and converse, God’s plans will be revealed through those conversations and always in public. There are no back-room decisions. We work to witness God’s work together. For me, the experience began in earnest this week when a small group of us found ourselves eating lunch at the same location. A friendly greeting and a wave turned into an impromptu invitation to eat together. Small talk in some minutes turned into fascinating conversations about a number of issues we will face in the coming months. Away from the formality of a worship service and gifted with a few minutes of free time, our ideas flowed. Tasks were clarified. Our words drew us closer. Upcoming changes suddenly seemed workable and exciting. I truly love the people with whom I worship and serve. I thrill at the opportunity to watch God work and lead us through this process.

Mural artist Nancy Hakala, left, is getting an assist from Oak Harbor High School student Kelsey Krueger during the downtown project.
High praise By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Dark skies had threatened before but this time Nancy Hakala was taking no chances. “It looks like it’s going to rain,” she said, standing on a platform high enough to see the rooftops in downtown Oak Harbor. “I think we’re not going to paint anymore.” Hakala pulled on a toggle switch and down she and her apprentice, Kelsey Krueger, went, settling near ground level in time to take care of some quick cleanup work before the raindrops arrived. Wednesday night’s light rain was the first Hakala had experienced since she arrived in Oak Harbor in early July and started the mural painting project along Pioneer Way. She normally arrives in the mornings dressed in more layers, then peels them away as the fog lifts, revealing blue skies, the harbor and surrounding scenic mountain ranges. “I’ve absolutely loved this job,” she said. Hakala, from arid Auburn, Calif., has taken a liking to more than just the weather. She said she’s been overwhelmed by the support she’s received from the Oak
Harbor community. Every day, it seems, a local business or visitor stops by to offer well wishes or a helping hand in the project. One business, Diamond Rentals, donated the aerial lift she uses and sends employees over to check on the machine’s stability and Hakala’s safety. She’s been offered refreshments, lunch and books to learn more about Oak Harbor’s history. The mural will resemble an open book and include seven historic images spanning seven decades, including the construction of Deception Pass Bridge in the 1930s. “You really get to know a place when you paint it,” Hakala said. “People are just wonderful here. You live in a little piece of paradise, for sure. I just love it.” Hakala, whose murals grace hospitals, museums and private homes in the Sacramento area and beyond, learned of the mural project from her sister Julie Hakala, who lives in Greenbank. Nancy Hakala normally enjoys a lengthy stay on Whidbey Island during the summer and jumped at the
Mural artist’s spirits lifted by outpouring of support and help she’s received from community
A look at the mural along Pioneer Way on Wednesday night shows Nancy Hakala’s project nears its halfway point. Hakala hopes to be finished by mid August weather permitting. chance to leave a lasting piece of her work on the island. The idea was a brainchild of Karen Mueller, owner of Wind & Tide Bookshop, who is raising money to pay for the project. Most of the money has been raised; however, Mueller is still seeking help. She is accepting donations at the bookstore on Pioneer Way. Island Thrift has been the project’s biggest sponsor and city councilman Rick Almberg gave a significant contribution. Sherwin-Williams has donated the paint for the mural, which is being illustrated on the sidewall of a
privately-owned building at 841 Pioneer Way. Thanks to the weather, the outpouring of support, and one hands-on helper in particular, the project is progressing well and is roughly at the halfway point. With continued good weather, the mural should be completed by the middle of August, Hakala said. Hakala gives ample credit to Krueger for the progress. Hakala wanted the project to be a “teaching mural” so she could pass on her skills to See Mural, A13

Hakala calls Krueger by her nickname, Milo. “She’s been more like a best friend than a teacher,” Krueger said. “We just gab and talk and all sorts of stuff, and we go out to lunch
sometimes if we’re hungry.” More often than not, they’re not alone for long. Someone offering encouragement or a tip is often passing by. “To take a plain, old wall and have something bright and exciting for the community, it’s just really a lovely thing,” Hakala said. “I’m glad to be a part of it.”

CAR SHOW - AUGUST 10, 2013 AT WINDJAMMER PARK Stop by our Booth for a chance to WIN a "Antique Pedal Car"

The Muzzall family, from left: Shelly, Jessica, Jennifer, Roshel and Ron. The family recently sold a farming easement on 113 acres of property, permanently protecting it as farmland.
FARM CONTINUED FROM A1 will be much easier, and cheaper, to pass on to his three daughters: Jennifer, Jessica and Roshel. “This allows us to transfer the land to our kids without state tax or gifting issues,” he said.
We specialize in Collision Repair and also offer custom and restoration work. We work with ALL Insurance Companies. VIP service with Enterprise Rent-a-Car
Powell said the easement was sold for $920,000. Island County Conser vation Future Fund contributed $400,000 and the land trust put forward $60,000 but the bulk, $460,000, came from federal and state grant funding. The land trust announced last month it had landed $2.2 million in funding from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program.

The accident occurred at about 7:45 p.m. at the Coupeville stoplight. Bagwell was traveling south on North Main Street in a 1993 Infinity J30 when she rear-ended a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck that was stopped at the light. The impact pushed the truck into a third vehicle, a 2007 Volvo XC90, that was stopped at the head of the intersection. “It was a chain reaction of one car hitting another car and that car hitting another car,” said acting Capt. Jerry Helm, of Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue. Helm arrived at the scene and was surprised to recognize the truck as belonging to his brother, Matt Helm, also a firefighter. Matt Helm was OK and assisting the other drivers. Marjory Homan, the driver of the Volvo, was uninjured. Bagwell, however, was reportedly complaining of chest pain. She was transported to Whidbey General Hospital where she was later airlifted to Harborview. According to State Patrol, the cause of the accident remains under investigation though drugs or alcohol have been ruled out as factors in the crash.
