Navy forum on P-8A squadrons set for October By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The Navy will hold a public forum in response to its announcement about the arrival of additional P-8A squadrons at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The meeting will help the Navy determine how the squadrons will be divided between NAS Whidbey and NAS Jacksonville, Fla.
An open house is set for 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8 at Oak Harbor High School’s Student Union Building. The meeting will be conducted in an open house format with informational displays and materials available for public review. There will be no formal presentations. Navy staff will be present to answer general questions on the proposed action and the EIS process. The public will be allowed to review the supplemental EIS to be attached to the original 2008 document which had deter-
mined that the squadrons would be rotated between three bases. Now the Navy is considering two alternatives which will translate to six or seven squadrons home-basing at NAS Whidbey. This EIS process is unrelated to the one the Navy said this month it will conduct to study the environmental impacts of the EA-18G Growlers and the EA-6B Prowlers at both Ault See P-8A forum, A11
Loud boom remains a N. Whidbey mystery By JANIS REID and RON NEWBERRY

Staff reporters
A loud sound, described by many who heard it as a “boom,” occurred around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday in the Crescent Harbor area. The source of the noise remains undetermined. On the Whidbey News-Times’ Facebook page, some speculated it was aircraft operations in the area or an unintended sonic boom. While air operations were being conducted that morning, representatives at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station said that they weren’t doing any sort of training or operations that would have caused the noise. The boom sent some Oak Harbor residents rushing outside to look up to the sky. Aircraft could be heard flying overhead in Oak Harbor at the time of the boom. Troy Taylor and Mike Harris were working at Jiffy Lube on State Highway 20 in Oak Harbor when they heard a sound that Taylor compares to a gun-

Robert “Al” Baker will go on trial for murder in Island County Superior Court despite publicity surrounding a case involving a pizza joint and an Antarctic romance gone horribly wrong. Baker, a 62-year-old Greenbank resident, appeared in court Friday morning with his attorney, Tom Pacher of Coupeville. Baker is accused of murdering his wife, Kathie Baker, 53, and dumping her tarp-wrapped body in a ravine behind their home last summer. Pacher filed a motion for change of venue based on pre-trial publicity. He argued that the trial should be moved to Snohomish County because news stories may make it difficult to find impartial jurors. Pacher presented 12 stories that have appeared in the Whidbey News-Times in the 18 months since the alleged murder. He pointed out that many of the stories also appeared in the South Whidbey Record. “There’s more than just one part of the county that’s been saturated with publicity,” he said. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said the motion is premature and should be considered only if the attorneys have trouble empaneling a jury. Ohme pointed out that
“I will ensure that care will be taken in jury selection.” Alan Hancock, Island County Superior Court Judge
knowledge about a case from news coverage doesn’t disqualify a potential juror from serving. Under case law, jurors are only disqualified if “their opinions are so fixed so that they cannot be impartial.” Judge Alan Hancock agreed with the prosecution and denied the motion. “The articles in question are factual, good articles that are not inflammatory in any way,” he said. “It was good, factual reporting about a case involving matters of public record,” he added. Hancock said there’s no evidence that they will have any trouble finding jurors to serve. He said any impartial jurors will be weeded out during the jury selection process. “I will ensure that care will be taken in jury selection,” he said. The attorneys also discussed the upcoming trial, which is set for Oct. 1. Pacher said he won’t be calling any character witnesses because it might open the door to evidence about Baker’s prior conviction of a sex crime.
According to court documents, Baker and his late wife met when they were working at a research station in Antarctica. They lived in a home in Greenbank and owned a pizza joint in Freeland. A detective’s report on the case indicates that the motive for the murder may have been another woman. A woman from Alaska — whom he met in Antarctica — was staying with Al Baker at his Greenbank home after Kathie was killed, court documents state. Kathie was last seen alive June 2. 2012. Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office started investigating her disappearance after her 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 Al Baker about his wife’s whereabouts, detectives obtained a search warrant for the home and called in the state patrol’s Crime Scene Response Team to help process the scene, according to court documents. Kathie’s body was found June 9, 2012. Cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head and ligature strangulation. Investigators found a ball-peen hammer with hair stuck to it in a garbage can in the garage.

increase. Challenger Mike Piccone said he supports the chamber, but would be willing to explore “every creative idea” when it comes to the lodging tax dollars. He said only 400 of the 1,500 businesses in the city are members of the chamber; he suggested that the chamber could get more funding by encouraging the remaining businesses to join and pay membership fees. “They can probably contribute more than the city can,” he said. In an interview after the meeting, Chamber Director Kathy Reed said Piccone’s numbers may be misleading. Dudley announced at the council meeting Tuesday
that there are 1,500 businesses in the city, but Reed said that’s actually the number of business licenses. Any businesses from across the country that do business in the city have to get a business license, she said. Reed said the Oak Harbor chamber has about the same number of members as the chamber in the city of Burlington, which is a commercial center in the state. “Our numbers are very healthy,” she said. Reed said the people will get the chance to hear more from the candidates during a more in-depth breakfast forum at 7:30 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 3, at the Best Western.
Oak Harbor council candidates talk chamber funding at voter forum By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Only Jim Campbell stood in front of members of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce and said that he would not vote to increase city funding to the group. Joel Servatius was the only one who said he would. All eight candidates running for seats on the City Council took the stage during a packed chamber luncheon at the Elks Club Thursday. They each had four minutes to talk about themselves and answer one question posed by Jason McFadyen, chamber president. “Specifically yes or no, would you vote to continue funding or actually increasing the funding for the Chamber of Commerce?” He explained, as part of the question, that the funding of the chamber has been questioned by “the city,” referring to Mayor Scott Dudley’s earlier comments to the Whidbey News-Times. The mayor said he would like the council to reconsider
chamber funding because he wants the money to be used for more special events. The chamber received $72,000 this year in lodging taxes, also known as hotelmotel taxes, under a contract in which the chamber runs the visitor information center in Oak Harbor and the “welcome wagon” at Deception Pass. The taxes can only be used for tourism-related activities and capital projects. Campbell, an incumbent councilman, said he supports the current level of funding for the chamber. But the question about increasing the funding, he said, puts him in “a very, very awkward spot.” He said he’s on the board for the countywide tourism program which competes for the same dollars and had its funding cut a few years ago. He said he supports increasing funding for the countywide effort instead. Campbell’s opponent, longtime city volunteer Skip Pohtilla, said he supports funding for the chamber; he said the group’s role in the
community is more important than ever with the personnel increasing at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Pohtilla didn’t address the idea of an increase in funding. Incumbent Councilman Joel Servatius, however, said he supports “expanding” chamber funding. He said he was on the chamber board for 12 years and realizes the important work the nonprofit group does. As a businessman, he said the chamber was one of his first stops when his family moved to the city. His challenger, Sandi Pederson, said she would vote to support the contract for next year because the chamber is counting on the money. She said she would want to study the issue in future years. “Before new budgets are wrought, we should look at every aspect we can and make sure we are giving the citizens the most bang for the buck,” she said. She also didn’t address the part of the question about
increased funding. Councilman Bob Severns pointed out that the chamber runs the city’s visitor information center, which the city can’t afford to do on its own. “You do it cheaper than we can do it and you do it a lot better,” he said. He said he’s definitely in favor of continuing the current level of chamber funding, but said he didn’t know about increasing the amount. Lucas Yonkman, who’s challenging Severns, said he would have to study the issue and see if there’s an adequate return on investment before making a decision. Councilman Danny Paggao, who serves as the mayor pro tem, said he appreciates how the chamber works with the Navy base, especially in welcoming new personnel. He said an adequately funded chamber is more important than even with the impending increase in Navy personnel. Paggao said he supports funding the chamber, but didn’t say if he would like an

Speakers voice their support for Oak Harbor Chamber By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Renewal of a contract that’s turned into an unlikely political squabble will be settled the day after the November general election. Citizens lined up to voice support of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce during a regular council meeting Tuesday night. The chamber director gave a PowerPoint presentation about all the work done by the organization to promote tourism. Council members spoke glowingly about the chamber. All this focus on the non-
profit group came about after Councilman Rick Almberg asked his colleagues to consider the city’s contract with the chamber earlier than usual. Almberg explained he wanted the chamber to have certainty with its budget so it can focus on an effort to encourage new Navy personnel to live in Oak Harbor. Mayor Scott Dudley, however, interpreted it as a political move. He suggested that the council members wanted to settle the contract early in case the composition of the council changes as a result of the upcoming election.
The city has long contracted with the chamber for the operation of the visitors’ center in State Highway 20 and the “welcome wagon” at Deception Pass. This year, the city awarded the chamber $72,000 in 2 percent lodging tax revenues, money that can only be used to boost tourism; the tax money pays for less than half of the actual expenses. In her presentation, Chamber Executive Director Kathy Reed highlighted the diverse range of the group’s business-boosting efforts, from helping visitors, to advertising the city in Canada
and other places, to putting on the city’s two major events each year. And much more. Reed said the $72,000 in lodging tax money from the city leverages additional funds and volunteer hours from the chamber. “The total return on investment is $250,000,” she said. “That’s not a bad investment.” Reed also announced that the chamber plans to start a new fall event next year. The “Oaktober Feast” will feature beer and sausages. All of the council members said they support continuing the contract with the cham-
ber, but the question was how much and how long. Councilwoman Beth Munns and Councilman Bon Severns suggested a twoyear budget be adopted to coincide with the city’s biennial budget. Following the comment period, Almberg made a motion that delays the council’s decision. The motion called for council to make its decision during the Nov. 6 meeting. As part of the motion, Almberg said the council may or may not increase the funding or extend the contract beyond one year.
The rationale, he said, is that he wants to see the city’s third quarter financial report before making any decisions. The motion passed unanimously. After the meeting, Dudley told the Whidbey News-Times that he questions whether the visitors’ center brings tourists to town; he said the purpose of the lodging tax is to fill more rooms at local hotels and motels. Dudley said he wants to hear from people who run hotels and motels. “I will defer to those from the industry,” he said. “I will listen to them.”
Filmmaker negotiates use of Oak Harbor pool with NW Parks & Rec By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Kids on the Oak Harbor swim team may appear on the silver screen someday. Bill Walker, director of the North Whidbey Parks and Recreation District, announced at a board meet-
ing Thursday night that a movie producer has asked to rent the pool to shoot a pivotal scene in a film. The catch, Walker said, is that he wants to close the pool to the public while he films during a weekday. And the producer is requesting a break on the
regular $100-per-hour rate for renting the pool. Joseph Itaya, a graduate of South Whidbey High School, has returned to the island in hopes of filming an independent movie currently titled “Lost & Found.” He wrote the story of two brothers visiting their uncle on a remote,

mysterious island. Itaya told the Whidbey News-Times recently that there may be two “prominent Hollywood actors” and some notable child television stars on the set. Most of the scenes are slated to be filmed in the Coupeville area, and Itaya’s already obtained permission from the Coupeville Port District to film at the historic wharf. But he also needs a swimming pool. Walker said Itaya plans to employ as extras in the pool
scene members of the swim team and people from the community. “Personally I think it would be a great idea to be part of this,” Walker said. But several members of the park district board were hesitant to close the pool during the busy weekdays, which is when the pool is used by swimming teams, people taking classes, lap swimmers and others. “I don’t want to take away a program for someone who isn’t a regular user,” said
Sean Merrill, chairman of the parks district. Commissioner Lori Clark, however, said being involved in the movie would give the pool the opportunity for good press. The board ended up passing a motion allowing the filmmaker to use the pool only on a Sunday morning, which is when it is normally closed. The parks district is offering the director a reduced rate of $500 for eight hours of shooting.

Coupeville resident charged in 2-year-old motorcycle accident By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A Coupeville man is accused of causing a collision with a motorcyclist and driving away without stopping. The incident happened two years ago, according to court documents. Prosecutors charged Randy L. Thiesfeld, 54, in Island County Superior Court Sept. 4 with hit and run. He could face up to 14 months in prison if convicted of the charge. Detective Charles Sletten with the Washington State Patrol investigated the collision near Coupeville on Sept. 7, 2011. Sletten’s report states that Gary Kelly was driving a Harley Davidson motorcycle south on Engle Road when Thiesfeld, who was driving a Jeep Cherokee, failed to yield the right-ofway and turned in front of
the motorcycle. The motorcycle struck the rear of the Jeep. Kelly suffered a broken bone in his foot in the crash. Thiesfeld didn’t stop after the collision and drove home, the report states. Deputies were able to identify Thiesfeld from a description of the Jeep and found him at his home. Thiesfeld said he was driving home from fishing and didn’t realize that he had been struck. He admitted drinking a small amount of beer prior to the accident, but drank more when he got home. A blood test showed that he was intoxicated two hours and forty minutes after the collision, according to the report. The filing of a charge against Thiesfeld was delayed due to civil litigation between the two parties, according to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office.

IN OUR OPINION Take the six months, but get new marijuana regulations figured out Island County Commissioners will likely be following in the footsteps of the Oak Harbor City Council in instituting a moratorium on new marijuana production and sales. It is a “watch-and-see” approach many other counties and cities are taking while the state fine-tunes the recently approved marijuana law. While we agree that there’s no need for Island County or Oak Harbor to be “trailblazers” in this new, uncharted age of marijuana acceptance, six months should be plenty of time for both the county and city to come up with plans that address concerns while implementing the wishes of Washington state’s voters. The Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington, which is providing moratorium and regulation templates to local governments, estimates that Island County will likely see four new marijuana production and distribution businesses as a result of the new marijuana law. During a moratorium, the commissioners said they would discuss how to regulate marijuana production and distribution, including whether or not to simply treat it as just another agricultural product. The commissioners said they may also look at some type of buffer regulations because marijuana producers tend to have very high fences, heightened security, bright lights and guard dogs which might be disruptive to neighbors. Oak Harbor approved its six-month moratorium on the opening of both recreational and medical marijuana businesses earlier this month. City officials raised the possibility of extending its moratorium if necessary. The moratorium would only affect the opening of new marijuana-related businesses. The commissioners haven’t decided yet whether or not to adopt a moratorium on both recreational and medical use. Existing medical marijuana users on the island have other options for addressing their medical concerns. The county and city should go ahead and put a hold on the opening of any new marijuana businesses, determine the issues and adopt the regulations that fit our community. They need to do that in six months and move forward without extending their moratoriums.

Letters to the editor Hospital Bond
Letter writer perhaps got his ‘inos’ confused Editor, In response to a letter in Wednesday Sept. 18 Whidbey News-Times regarding the proposed hospital bond on the November ballot, I must clarify the misstatements of the letter writer. Tom Tomasino is the CEO of Whidbey General Hospital and does not work for Windermere Real Estate. I am Joseph Mosolino, owner of the Freeland and Langley Windermere offices, and I am acting chairman of the Friends of Whidbey General Hospital Bond campaign. Perhaps the confusion comes from the “ino” in both of our names — we “inos” tend to all look alike! I had not met Mr. Tomasino prior to accepting a role in the campaign efforts and have been in his company only a handful of times — where I have been in awe of his leadership, character and dedication to Whidbey General. As a realtor making my living over the past 16 years selling real estate, the
quality of the hospital is paramount in the decision-making process. In the last decade, a large number of incoming home buyers are retirees and the availability of services and the proximity to those services is a driving force in where they choose to live. The strength of schools, hospital, and emergency services in a rural area such as Whidbey Island is critical to sustaining property values. In January 2012 I was an inpatient at Whidbey General. Though fairly new to Whidbey Island, an orthopedic surgeon with incredible talents and demeanor that one would expect to find in a large, heavily funded, private metropolitan hospital performed remarkable surgery that dramatically changed the quality of my life. The nursing care was exceptional and continued with follow up calls for several days after my release. The fact is the quality of my health care did not match the physical surroundings of my hospital stay. In 2009, my family was on the receiving end of Whidbey General‘s palliative/end of life/hospice care when my wife and mother to our three children was dying from cancer. There is not

enough space to explain the extraordinary care my wife and our family received. The need for the bond is made exceptionally clear if one goes to the Whidbey General Hospital web page and views the video the hospital prepared. As for the Mosolinos, we are indebted to Whidbey General and refer to it as “our hospital.” Heck yeah, we’re supporters of the bond! Joseph Mosolino Owner-broker Windermere Real Estate Freeland and Langley
Taxpayers don’t need bond added to tax load Editor, Yes, it’s time to be wary and weary of another levy to up our property taxes for the benefit of your hospital. Yet, Tom Tomasino, chief executive officer of Whidbey General Hospital originally stated the upcoming levy is the same levy as the one voted on two short years ago. See more Letters, A7

More letters to the editor CONTINUED FROM A6
Until the population on Whidbey shows a significant increase, thereby truly needing a hospital and not a first aid station, this levy should not even be placed on the ballot. In 10 years or so, population increases may warrant a hospital supported by the people, but currently our population is not sufficient to support the size of hospital the board envisions. I doubt many voters could be swayed into thinking this levy is going to solve anything the board proposes, and most certainly does not need another $50 million levy added to their tax burden and their children’s health. Enough is enough. Vote “no” on the Whidbey General Hospital levy. Al Bowers Coupeville
WGH is much more than first-aid station
Editor, As a registered nurse for 27 years and an emergency room nurse for 20, I take offense to the frequently read and heard statement that Whidbey General Hospital is a “firstaid station.” I was employed by Whidbey General for 11 years, exclusively in the emergency department. Unfortunately, I suffered a work injury and, sadly, was terminated a couple months ago after I exhausted my FMLA. I had worked in big city hospitals my whole career and found rural nursing more exciting and challenging than at a level I facility. Unlike the main land, we often do not have the necessary resources
available. However, I never worked with a physician-nursing team as competent as the one currently at Whidbey General. WGH, as in any hospital ER, sees many clinic-type patients. However, when the traumas, strokes, heart attacks and other potentially life-threatening situations arrive, WGH is able to treat, stabilize and transfer, if necessary, any member of our community to the appropriate “higher-level of care” facility. Imagine your life if WGH is not here when you need them. Traveling off island means a delay in treatment and it could cost you your life. Bottom line — Whidbey General Hospital saves lives. If you have ever been a patient in any hospital with double rooms, you know how difficult that can be. Sharing a room with a stranger deprives you of your privacy, ability to rest when you need it, and let’s not even get into the single TV and your roommates’ visitors. It’s like having to share your hotel room with a stranger while you’re sicker than a dog. If you have never seen WGH’s 210-square-foot double patient rooms, perhaps the hospital would be willing to post some pictures of them. Whidbey General Hospital’s administrative politics aside, singlepatient rooms are the standard for 21st century health care and will probably be government mandated in the near future. Patricia Nathan-Ulloa Coupeville

Hospital bond issue is an easy ‘yes’ vote Editor, I have examined the facts and I will vote yes on the bond for Whidbey General Hospital. It could not be more plain. We on Whidbey want and deserve the improvements that the bond would provide. Vote “yes” on the bond for Whidbey General Hospital. Pamela Hawley Oak Harbor

Can’t beat Severn’s wealth of experience Editor, Lucas Yonkman is making statements saying his lack of business experience and little education should be ignored when running against Bob Severns, all because he is younger. I am closer to Lucas Yonkman’s age, but I know there is no substitute for Bob’s education and proven experience. I question Yonkman’s decision to run against Bob when two other incumbents are up for re-election who are several years older then Bob. It seems Yonkman is Mayor Scott Dudley’s choice, where education and experience doesn’t seem to be important for your vote. Yonkman has made statements regarding Bob Severns input on gun control.
Page A7
It has been made clear where you stand, Mr. Yonkman. However it concerns me that you have failed to do your research and noticed Bob Severns is, too, an NRA member and believes in the same rights that you do. If this is what we are to expect with your election it concerns me greatly just how much you are going to do with this community as an individual and not at the shirttails of Mayor Dudley. I am proud to say I am a Bob Severns supporter and plan on reelecting him because of his proved education and business sense. Michelle Tull Oak Harbor
City of Oak Harbor. Their collective knowledge and opinions are invaluable as a balance to the mayor’s single-minded viewpoint. If the mayor succeeds in transforming the council into clones of himself who will “rubber-stamp” his every idea, what is the point in having a city council? Fear of opposing ideas and attempting to silence all who disagree is not characteristic of a good leader serving the people. In fact, it is remarkably like a dictator attempting to maintain control of his power over the people. Judy Smith Oak Harbor
Don’t give mayor a ‘rubber stamp’ council Imagine OH if Slowik was re-elected mayor Editor, First, the mass firings of department heads, then the exodus of staff unable to endure the hostile pressure, and now, Mayor Scott Dudley “makes no apology” for going door-to-door in an attempt to replace city council members with candidates whose qualification for office is “being supportive of the mayor and his policies.” As you consider your voting choices, ask yourself why the mayor would go to such lengths to eliminate anyone with an opinion contrary to his own. If his agenda has merit, wouldn’t it stand up to honest and open debate from folks with diverse experience, perspective and opinions? The current council members all work diligently and do extensive research to be fully informed on the issues, certainly not for the paltry pay, but in the interest of making the best possible decisions for the
Editor, In response to the comments made online to Robert Wallin’s letter to the editor and the article on chamber of commerce funding, I feel the need to comment to those that seem to be blinded by our mayor. I live just outside of city limits and am therefore a victim to the plights of our city just as much any voter, yet my voice was not able to say “NO I don’t want Scott Dudley” in the last election. Every time I read the newspaper, I can’t help but imagine how very different things would be had Jim Slowik stayed in office. Yet, I acknowledge the time to change that has passed, so don’t bother with the “Dudley won, get over it” comments. Miko Delafield Oak Harbor

Port of Coupeville
Port needs to start eliminating waste Editor, This is no time for the Port of Coupeville to be wasteful with taxpayers’ money, especially given the economic hardships faced by citizens and government agencies. Port records reflect more than $12,000 in payments to its retained

attorney in the first six months of 2013. That’s four times the $3,000 budgeted for the entire year. It’s also more than Port of South Whidbey spent on legal fees over the last three years. Maybe some of the port’s expenses, most of which related to the Greenbank Farm, were necessary. Clearly, some were not. Some involved attorney review of simple requests for records that are clearly in the public domain. These included bills for reviewing communications from the port’s executive director, Jim Patton, such as a list of documents I requested and detailed reports on my visits to look at them — at a cost to taxpayers of $300 an hour for the attorney and $50 an hour for Mr. Patton. Other wasted money relates to Commissioner Marshall Bronson’s and Benye Weber’s defamatory statements in February that concerned this taxpayer’s lawful review of public records. Those false and
reckless statements were retracted, but only after the port paid its lawyer to “advise” them. Taxpayers footed the bill and the commissioners won’t respond to a request to pay the money back. As of end of June, the amount paid to the port’s attorney on calls, meetings, and other matters identifying me by name totaled $1,560. This is in addition to a portion of $1,050 billed for unspecified communications in March. At last check, the port’s attorney insisted on marking his invoices “confidential.” The law is clear that we have a right to know how our tax dollars are spent, even on lawyers. The port and its staff needs to welcome public scrutiny and spend our tax money like it was their own. If they did so, they might be less wasteful. Rick Abraham Greenbank

Gina graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1980 and then attended Skagit Valley College where she received an Associates degree. Her professional career included working for Snohomish Transit as well as Island Transit. Gina moved to San Diego where she worked with the school district for quite a few years and returned to Oak Harbor two years ago. Up until her death, she worked in a supervisory capacity at New Leaf, Inc. Gina had many interests in life that brought her joy. She
had an avid love of exploring lighthouses, reading, singing karaoke, competing in video game challenges, shopping for fashions, especially shoes. She dearly loved dogs, especially her malamute, Luke, who was her baby. Gina’s most cherished memories, however, were spending time with family and friends. She was a very thoughtful and compassionate woman who was frequently guilty of random acts of kindness. Gina could brighten up any occasion with her warm smile.

Cleone Webster
Cleone was born on June 29, 1916, in Coupeville, Wash. She was from a pioneer family. Her grandfather Emerson Mitchell arrived on Whidbey Island in 1862. She is survived by one son Kenneth and a daughter Karen, six grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. She will be remembered
A very bright light was extinguished on Sunday, Sept. 8 when our beloved Jerry left this earth after a courageous fight against cancer. This extraordinary man left his mark in so many ways that will live in our hearts and memories. Jerry was born April 17, 1962, in Camp Lejeune, N.C. to Cdr. Lonnie V. and Luanne Zimmerman and joined his older brother and sister. Our favorite pictures of him from childhood show him smiling with his cute impish grim and covered
with dirt. We are sure that his affinity for soil instilled his life-long love of the outdoors and he became an avid fisherman and hunter and enjoyed epic camping trips with his family and friends. Being of Navy offspring, he moved with his family to Rockville, Md., at age 2 and moved to the west coast at age 9 and landed in Oak Harbor. Jerry graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1980 and continued his education at Washington State University and Chapman University graduating with a degree in business managment. He was a rabid fan of the WSU Cougs. Jerry settled in Port Angeles in 1990 and worked for the Payless Corporation for 10 years and with Sterling Management until his retirement earlier this year. In 1984, he married Carolee Ditwell and became the father of his “two beautiful girls who were his greatest accomplishment,” Leanna, 25, and Lynnea, 22. Jerry was additionally blessed by the birth of this grandson Easton, 2, who was the best present he ever received. Jerry married Lynnea Tucker in August 2011 and although their time together was far too brief, it was remarkable. Jerry leaves behind his heartbroken family — his adoring parents, Lon and Luanne; his loving wife, Lynnea Tucker
Zimmerman; daughters Leanna Schlichting and Lynnea Zimmerman; and grandon Easton. Also Leanna’s husband, Bill Schlichting, who he considered a son; brother, Mike, and his wife, Nursim, in Izmir, Turkey; and sister, Kristy Pelle, and husband, Dan, and nephews, Sam and Ben, in Spokane. His niece and nephews thought he was the coolest uncle ever. Included in his extended family are close friends Gary and Edna Hurst and Doug and Tammy Toczek, his best friends since junior high school. He was preceded in death by his niece Jessica and his grandparents Jean and Curt Curtis. Although his life was far too short, we are so thankful for the time we had with Jerry and we have no doubt that we will reunite with him again. He was the greatest son, brother, father, husband and grandfather and led by shining example. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice of Port Angeles for their wonderful care of Jerry in his last days. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to Hospice of Port Angeles or the American Cancer Society. A private family service will be held in Port Angeles, and a Celebration of Life will be held in October.

Coupeville coach Kirsty Croghan said her club pulled out the second-game win against Lakewood because the players did “a great job of eliminating their own errors.” The set win wasn’t the highlight for Croghan, however: “My favorite part of the night wasn’t the set we won but rather to see that the stuff the girls have been working on at practice is starting to click. Nothing is more rewarding for a coach than to see their players starting to understand the stuff they previously were struggling with.” Hailey Hammer led the offense with nine kills; MadSee preps, A10

CHS soccer tumbles twice Cedarcrest had a big half and Lakewood a big game as each put away the Coupeville soccer team this week. Cedarcrest scored four second-half goals to win 4-1 Tuesday in Coupeville, and Lakewood rolled by the host Wolves 7-0 Thursday. Against Cedarcrest, Coupeville led 1-0 at the break behind Marissa Etzell’s first career goal. The Red Wolves four-goal onslaught in the second half put the match away. Coupeville coach Troy Cowan said, “At halftime we made a formation change to increase our opportunities on offense and the Red Wolves made us pay with several outstanding counter attack goals.”
The result could have been worse but keeper Julia Myers “made countless, heroic saves,” according to Cowen. Lakewood was led by a hat trick by Shantel St. Jean Cowen said, “We just fundamentally broke down and were never mentally into the game. I take full responsibility for not having the girls mentally prepared and for not having them ready to play.” He said the Wolves struggled with the Cougars’ (1-1, 1-3) pressure and were outplayed in the battle for 50/50 balls. Coupeville (0-2, 0-3) plays at South Whidbey (0-2, 0-3) at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24.

County discusses moratorium on marijuana
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Island County commissioners have set in motion plans for a moratorium on new marijuana production and sales. Commissioners were responding to a survey from the Washington State Liquor Control Board in reference to the law created by I-502, a measure approved by voters that allows the use of recreational marijuana. The state is requesting information about how the county plans to proceed as a jurisdiction in its handling of the new law. While the commissioners agreed to inform the state of their plans for a moratorium, they have yet to review draft moratoriums or talk about specific regulatory options. Planning Director David Wechner pointed out that the Oak Harbor City Council passed a six-month moratorium on the opening of both recreational and medical marijuana businesses earlier this month and that this could be used as a guide for county. Commissioner Jill Johnson said that she would be in favor of keeping the moratorium consistent with one
Johnson said that she supports a moratorium because she believes the county needs to “get their hands around it” before moving forward. However, she said, “this is an industry I think our community will have some interest in. If you go early, you take advantage of the entrepreneurial aspect of this. But if you do it wrong, it’s hard to reel it back.” The Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington, which is providing moratorium and regulation templates to local governments, estimates that Island County will likely see four new marijuana production and distribution businesses as a result of the new law. Commissioner Kelly Emerson said she wants the county to work in conjunction with Northwest Clean Air Agency, which has been called to medical marijuana farms due to the smell, she said. It’s necessary to take into account the possible concerns of families with children who may live in proximity of marijuana production or storage areas, Emerson said. Emerson said a representative from the clean air authority told her that the smell can get quite strong. “I wondered, ‘can you get a contact
recently adopted by Oak Harbor. “There may be some advantage to following the same model,” Johnson said. “My feeling is that sticking with the moratorium approach that Oak Harbor took might be the best for us at this phase.” Wechner agreed with Johnson. “If you have two jurisdictions and they are right next to each other and they are approaching it in a different way, it’s going to be confusing for people,” he said. There might be some wisdom in waiting to see what some of the “bigger, richer” counties end up doing before moving forward, Johnson added. “I don’t think we need to be the first county out of the gate,” Johnson said. “I’d like to pick up some of their ideas and learn from their initial mistakes before we become trailblazers on this one.” While attending a recent state planning directors conference, Wechner said he found that many jurisdictions were using the “wait-and-see approach” as well. “I think it’s a big game of chicken, frankly, to see who’s going to go first,” Wechner said. Commissioner Helen Price
high from that?’ We were asking her if she went out and bought Doritos,” Emerson said jokingly. Price Johnson said she agrees that the health aspects should be considered. During a moratorium, the commissioners said they would discuss how to regulate marijuana production and distribution, including whether or not to simply treat it as just another agricultural product. The commissioners may also want to consider some type of buffering regulation because marijuana producers tend to have very high fences, heightened security, bright lights and guard dogs which might be disruptive to neighbors, Wechner said. “Some really take a military compound approach,” Wechner said. While the commissioners agreed to address the medical and recreational marijuana issues separately, they have not yet determined whether to adopt a moratorium on both uses. County staff was asked to gather draft moratoriums from other jurisdictions so the issue can be revisited at a future meeting.
mystery CONTINUED FROM A1 shot or car backfiring. “I thought he fell down the stairs,” Taylor said, pointing to Harris. “That’s what it sounded like.” “He would have been making noise if it was that.” Owners of Dogwood Pet Resort John and Rita Cline reported that the noise was so loud at the Taylor Road location it sounded like something fell on the roof. Skip Potilla, city council
candidate and Navy veteran, said that his first thought after an aircraft was that maybe a meteorite had passed through the atmosphere. “It shook the house,” Potilla said. “It was almost like something had hit the house.” The Island County Sheriff Department and Oak Harbor Police Department reported receiving hundreds of calls
about the noise, though they remain unsure of the source. The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, which monitors earthquake activity throughout Puget Sound, said they recorded no ground disturbances that day. Puget Sound Energy said that none of its transformer had exploded and there was no power outages in the area of the boom.
A public affairs officer with the Federal Aviation Administration said “our air traffic people have gone through the radar data for that date - before and after
10:30 - and nothing showed up that was even close to breaking the speed of sound.”

Painting mural helped artist heal from loss of son By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Healing can take place in unusual places. For Nancy Hakala, that place was on a mechanical lift hovering over a strange town. Painting a mural in downtown Oak Harbor, nearly 1,000 miles from her home, Hakala was able to escape the constant reminders of a life event that turned her world upside down. One brush stroke at a time, she added new life to a bare wall while also trying to build herself back up from personal devastation. “I needed to heal to find a way to continue with my life,” Hakala said. “In the big picture of things, the mural was sort of a life-saver for me.” Three weeks after leaving Whidbey Island, Hakala is back home in Auburn, Calif., feeling a renewed sense of purpose. New art projects have started and the future is looking up again. Just a few months ago, none of this seemed possible. “I literally didn’t even want to go outside,” she said. Hakala lost her only child in December when her son suddenly and unexpectedly died in his sleep. David Potter, 42, left behind his wife, two young daughters and one griefstricken mother unable to come to grips with the new reality. Hakala had raised her son alone. Their bond was special as they constantly stayed in touch. She was so proud of her son, who worked with lighting on the sets of movies and television shows in Los Angeles. “I just can’t believe how much I counted on him for everything,” Hakala said. A well-known Sacramentoarea mural artist, Hakala shut down after her son died, withdrew from her work and became depressed. It wasn’t until her sister in Greenbank told her in April about a mural project on Whidbey Island that was seeking an artist that she decided that a change in venue could be a healthy idea. Hakala was hired to paint a massive mural on the side wall of a Pioneer Way building that depicted Oak Harbor’s history. Karen Mueller, owner of Wind & Tide Bookshop, spearheaded the mural project and began a fundraising campaign. With her husband’s

The finished mural by artist Nancy Hakala is located on Pioneer Way in downtown Oak Harbor. blessing, Hakala traveled to Whidbey Island and began work on the 9,000-square-foot mural in July. It was her first mural since her son’s passing. For seven weeks, she worked on the project, finishing on Sept. 1. “I think it gave my emotions time to rest while I concentrated on doing the work at hand,” Hakala said. “I don’t think people realize, painting is really hard work. You really have to concentrate on what you’re doing. I think it let me put my mind on one thing and allowed my emotions to rest from the sorrow. As I continued to do that, it built me back up and took me to a better, stronger place. It made me grateful for all the people who came by. I couldn’t believe the kindness that was all around me every single day. It was so healing for me. People don’t know what the words meant to me. It really made a difference.”
Hakala said she was lifted by the people of Oak Harbor’s generosity and daily acts of kindness. Employees from Diamond Rentals, which donated the aerial lifts, and members of the Oak Harbor Fire Department routinely checked on her safety. Ron Hancock, chaplain for the fire department, was a constant presence, bringing her water and introducing her to others who made her feel welcome. Hakala said Diamond Rentals owners Jeff and Mary Jo Lambert “went above and beyond” acts of generosity by letting her use the aerial lifts required to do the mural project for nearly two months. She said that paint and supplies were donated by Sherwin-Williams, Home Depot and Island Paint and Glass. Hakala said she also benefited greatly from the wisdom of local historian Peggy Darst
Townsdin, PBY Memorial Foundation Museum members Will Stein and Wil Shellenberger, librarians, tribal archivists and others who aided in her education of local history. “Everybody that I met knew the history and loved Oak Harbor so much,” Hakala said. The mural resembles an open book resting on a wooden table. Included are seven historic images spanning seven decades, including the construction of Deception Pass Bridge in the 1930s. Jamie’s Signs, a boat painting and lettering company in La Conner, was hired to do the finishing touches on the mural, including a banner that reads “Historic Downtown Oak Harbor” and a dedication to the community. The mural has been warmly embraced in the downtown. “Cars slow down,” Mueller

said. “I feel really blessed to have the opportunity to paint
a prominent wall for such a beautiful town,” Hakala said. “I hope I set a new trend in town. I hope that there will be many more murals that will employ artists in the area. There are such great artists on Whidbey Island, many people with great ideas.” Hakala said she was approached by other business owners on Whidbey Island about future mural projects, so she expects to return. But she doesn’t expect those projects to hold the sort of meaning she feels for this one. She allowed Oak Harbor High School art students she mentored to add some special touches on the mural. But she reserved one special touch for herself. In one image of a downtown scene, a solitary figure stands in front of a blue wall beneath a blue sky with his hands in his pockets. It’s someone dear to Hakala. “That’s him,” she said.

Organizers of “Frightville 13” have urge to scare people in their blood, and they’re always finding new ways By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
With a rumble of busy feet overhead and a tub full of decapitated and limbless dolls beside him, Brian Boyle stands in a dank, chilly basement and marvels at his surroundings. The organizer of Whidbey Island’s scariest haunted house, Boyle couldn’t ask for a better setting to scare people than the ground floor of the 100-year-old Neal barn. “Those cobwebs are real,” Boyle said proudly. Since August, Boyle has made the basement of Neal barn, better known as the Roller Barn, his second home. He and a crew have been busy rigging the place to get ready for “Frightville 13,” which opens Oct. 11. The event is a major fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor, based upstairs at the Roller Barn. Boyle is currently search-

utilized to create tight hallways and rooms, sliding doors that slam shut and a sliding device that hangs from the ceiling and allows an actor to lunge at guests from above. Since March, a “Frightville” committee has been brainstorming new ways to scare people. “The ideas come from horror movies and people’s fears,” Boyle said. “People don’t like tight spaces and low ceilings. They don’t like dolls, spiders and clowns.” Ah, clowns. Boyle dresses up as the clown “Mr. Giggles” during Frightville. He and his wife, Johanna Boyle, the Frightville receptionist, take this fright business seriously. They attended the West Coast Haunters Convention in Portland in May. Chalfant’s brainstorm resulted in this year’s “Hotel Hellena” theme. It’s important to note that the “ena” gets crossed out, creating “Hotel Hell.” This year, no tour guides will be used to direct guest through the 20 rooms that cover roughly two-thirds of the barn’s 4,000-square foot basement. Guests will enter in small groups and be on their own. Organizers experimented with a lights-out “Witching

Hour” last year in the final hour of the show. With stage lights turned off and guests armed with only a small flashlight, it was wildly popular and will be brought back. Chalfant compared Frightville to a “PG-13” rated event. “This is not for little kids,” Boyle said. For those not wanting to be startled as much, there is a “Pumpkin Hour” tour of the haunted house with no actors. For younger kids, there is a lights-on “Kids Matinee.” “Frightville 13” will run Oct. 11, 12, 18 and 19 from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. On Oct. 25, 26 and 31, it will go until midnight. The cost is $10 for the
regular tour and “Pumpkin Hour,” $15 for the “Witching Hour” and $3 for the “Kids Matinee.” Last year, Frightville raised more than $14,000 with all proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Club. Boyle, who retired from the Navy last year after 20 years of service, doesn’t mind coming to the barn after his construction job to let his imagination run wild. He said his wife calls herself a “Frightville widow,” even though she’s a horror movie buff and shares his passion. “It’s a good cause,” Boyle said. “What you hear upstairs is why I do this. The kids having somewhere to go after school. “Plus, it’s fun as hell.”

people author Gary Thomas calls, “Ascetics.” In his book, “Sacred Pathways: Discovering Your Soul’s Path to God,” Thomas writes that people with an ascetic temperament find that their souls awaken to God’s presence in places of solitude and austerity, simplicity and deep commitment. Thomas goes as far as to describe ascetics as enigmatic individuals and it is that very word our friends used to describe their beloved daughter, then a college student contemplating her next move as graduation neared. “She’s beautiful and smart,” her mom reported with pride, “and amazingly organized, somehow finding time to blend school work with community service.” Their only daughter, they envi-

I saw eyes filled with love and pride and sadness. Their daughter, they explained, had recently announced she felt called to join a convent shortly after graduating. During that first year there would be no contact as their daughter would be called to focus solely on her new life.

Friends and family will need to learn that ascetics need a certain amount of time alone, perhaps every day. Ascetics are frequently distract-

Their choice to spend time, either late at night or early morning, in their beloved simplicity and solitude builds within them a great capacity to care beyond their own needs. In stillness they anticipate God’s presence and stand vigil for a world longing to know God is near. n Joan Bay Klope can be reached at faithfulliving@hotmail.com.

WEEK OF SEPTEMBRE 22 TO 28, 2013
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA, AND SCORPIO.
ARIES
You should be able to extricate yourself from a complicated financial situation with some skill. You’re very articulate and you succeed in winning everyone over to your side. TAURUS
You have to make a choice, even though you don’t necessarily have all the information to hand. Try to rely on your good judgement, and avoid long-term payments. GEMINI
You could very well receive a proposition concerning your career. Take the time to discuss it with your loved ones before accepting, even if it’s the job you’ve always dreamed of. CANCER
You feel the need to maintain a fairly busy social life. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to include the one you love in your different activities in order to rediscover the passion you feel for each other. LEO
Your telephone won’t stop ringing — it’s either your customers or clients who really need you or friends who are looking for you. You are a popular and charismatic individual! VIRGO
You could decide to change your car on the spur of the moment. If you’re patient enough to negotiate a good price, the salesperson will end up making an offer you can’t refuse.
PUZZLE NO. 686
4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
LIBRA
After calculating your budget, you realize that you have the means to treat yourself to a trip south during your next vacation. It might be a golden opportunity for a romantic trip for two. SCORPIO
A few changes are required in your love relationship as well as at home or at work. Give yourself a few days to think about these decisions before taking action. SAGITTARIUS
Your friends try to persuade you to spoil yourself. You decide to get a makeover and follow the advice of a good friend on how to take care of yourself. CAPRICORN
You find yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another. You look after a group of people who could very well pay tribute to you, or at least congratulate you. AQUARIUS
You think about buying a house, especially if there’s even the smallest of changes in the family. You may hear a hint about a birth within your entourage. PISCES
You have lots to talk about. Even at work, you continually find yourself in the middle of some interesting discussions. This will also allow you to extend your network of contacts.
