Woman and father accused of evidence tampering in Mont. By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor woman and her father are accused of trying to conceal evidence after they ran over the body of a pedestrian who was hit and killed by a semi truck in Montana, according to court documents. Wryan V. Young, 31, and her father, Westley L. Young, 50, were both charged in Park County with tampering with
physical evidence for allegedly washing blood and human remains off their truck at a car wash, according to Park County Attorney Brett Linneweber. Wryan Young was also charged in Sweet Grass County with failure to remain at the scene of a fatal accident. Linneweber said Wryan Young is not accused of striking and killing the pedestrian, just See Montana, A12

Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson’s chair sits empty during a regular meeting of the board. Commissioners Jill Johnson, left, and Helen Price Johnson say Emerson’s frequent absences are a concern.

Cmdr. Dan Worra, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station operations officer discusses the proposed new P-8A squadrons with residents.
Support broad for P-8A move to NAS Whidbey By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Despite an ongoing debate about jet noise, particularly at Outlying Field Coupeville, residents expressed broad support at a forum on the possible installation of several additional P-8A squadrons at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
The squadrons would be in place by 2016. Even members of the Coupeville-based group Citizen’s of Ebeys Reserve, which filed a federal lawsuit over jet noise at OLF Coupeville, expressed support for relocation of the P-8A squadrons to Whidbey. See Forum, A12
When the Island County Board of Commissioners approved a moratorium on recreational marijuana this week, Commissioner Kelly Emerson said she would make herself available by phone to vote on the controversial issue. That phone call never came, and the action passed 2-0. Emerson, who represents Camano Island, has been increasingly absent or non-participatory at public meetings in recent months. Throughout her term, she has been criticized for her work ethic, has missed meetings, abstained from votes and simply remained silent. During a brief telephone interview Thursday, Emerson said she attends many regional meetings and serves on boards off island, which keeps her from spending time in Coupeville. Emerson added she considers it to
be unfair to characterize her as not fulfilling requirements of her job. Since Jan. 1, Emerson has missed at least seven regular meetings and work sessions, according to meeting minutes. In comparison, during that time, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson missed one regular meeting and one work session, and Commissioner Jill Johnson missed one regular meeting. Emerson attended a couple meetings via speakerphone, and every meeting since Oct. 1 Emerson has either been absent or attended via teleconferencing from Camano Island. Using the teleconferencing technology seems to be problematic, however. Several times Emerson has complained of not being able to hear the meeting. The result at times has been a lack of response to promptings for a comment or vote. See emerson, A24
Moratorium imposed on recreational businesses By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A moratorium on new recreational marijuana businesses was passed Wednesday despite residents concerns that the action would put them strategically behind other counties. Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson voted 2-0 to approve the six-month moratorium while they take additional public comment and review potential policies and ordinances. Commissioner Kelly Emerson was absent. The moratorium is a response to state law created last year by Initiative 502, which legalized See moratorium, A24

A former bookkeeper accused of stealing more than $200,000 from two North Whidbey community organizations was charged with two felonies. Wendy Murphy, 50, of Oak Harbor, allegedly stole from Rolling Hills-Glencairn Community Service and Hillcrest Village Water Co. during a three-year period. She was sued by the two entities after the theft was discovered early this year. Prosecutors charged Murphy Nov. 4 in Island County Superior Court with two counts of first-degree theft with aggravating circumstances. Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case. Hawley’s report indicates that Murphy gambled with the money she allegedly stole. She made more than $50,000 in authorized credit card charges on the Rolling Hill’s Visa card between 2009 and 2012, Hawley wrote. According to Hawley’s report, officials at the Hillcrest Village Water Community reported the suspected theft in March.
The board members fired Murphy, the longtime bookkeeper, on March 1 after the “probable embezzlement” was discovered, according to the report. A new bookkeeper audited the financial records back to 2009 and found that $168,000 was missing. The report states that Murphy wrote a series of unauthorized checks from the Hillcrest account to her husband, herself and the Rolling Hills-Glencairn account, apparently to hide some of her theft from Rolling Hills. Hawley contacted the Rolling Hills officials and learned they had started an investigation into Murphy. The board president sent out a letter to members in March which states that officials believe that individual accounts were not affected. The Rolling Hills-Glencairn Community Service filed a lawsuit against Murphy earlier this year. Murphy didn’t contest it and the judge ordered a judgment against her for $57,000. Hillcrest Village Water Co. also filed a lawsuit, claiming that Murphy stole more than $168,000. The litigation is unresolved.

Council pay, benefit cuts back on table
Typhoon relief Coupeville man heading to Philippines as volunteer By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Eric Tremblay isn’t sure what to expect when he touches down in the Philippines next week. When he signed up to help with disaster relief work, his job was to help salvage and take down structures damaged by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake that hit the islands on Oct. 15. That was before a massive typhoon struck the Philippines three weeks later, leaving thousands dead and creating more widespread devastation. Tremblay, a 60-year-old retired Boeing worker, will be joining forces with an organization called All Hands Volunteers, which provides hands-on assistance to communities around the world impacted by natural disasters. It’s the Coupeville man’s first venture into relief work and his first time in the Philippines. “I was already planning a trip to the Philippines,” Tremblay said. “This just seemed like a good way to repurpose the first portion of the trip to helping people who really need it and don’t have a lot of resources.” Tremblay is handy at building things. He spent his career at Boeing fabricating and installing interiors in planes and even built his own house. He’s bringing with him some construction tools that
are currently hard to come by in the Philippines, including a spirit level and spool of braided mason line, and taking a tent and other staples. “They’re begging for good coffee,” he said, “so I’m bringing good coffee over there.” Tremblay will be a part of “Project Bohol,” a team that is focusing its efforts on helping the central Philippines’ province hit hardest by the earthquake. Bohol also was impacted by the typhoon but escaped most of the severe damage suffered in other parts of the Philippines from the tropical storm, Tremblay said. Tremblay said that he will be extending his stay after the relief work and had originally planned to spend some leisure time on a more remote tourism spot, but now isn’t sure what he’ll face. He finds it ironic that a few months ago he purchased a 19th century woodblock print by Japanese artist Yoshitoshi titled “Clinging to a rock.” It depicts a man holding on to a rock with swirling waves all around him. The painting is on his living room wall. “It looks like a tsunami or typhoon is going on,” Tremblay said. Tremblay is bracing himself for Bohol. He doesn’t expect to arrive until the middle of next week. “I really don’t know what to expect,” he said. “They’re suffering from the effects of two disasters.”

The mayor’s proposal to cut salaries and benefits for elected officials is returning to the Oak Harbor City Council. During a meeting in May, the council members unanimously voted to table the controversial resolutions to the second meeting in November. That meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 19. Only Councilman Jim Campbell expressed support for the mayor’s proposal. Councilman Rick Almberg made the motion to table the issues after accusing Mayor Scott Dudley of trying to create a controversy during an election year. Dudley said he believes it’s an issue of fairness and accountability. He maintains that he and the council members are part-time employees and shouldn’t
receive the city’s health care insurance. Dudley said few other cities provide health care benefits to elected officials. He also pointed to the financial emergency declared by the council. Council members earn approximately $7,200 a year, plus health insurance. Statistics from the Association of Washington Cities show that the Oak Harbor council members earn just slightly above average for similar-sized cities, without factoring in the cost of health care insurance. The mayor earns about $50,000 a year, but gives back 20 percent of his paycheck to the city. The $50,000 salary, set by the council years ago, is twice the average amount among cities of a similar size, according to Association of Washington Cities statistics.

Island businesses among the Best of Western Washington By SARA HANSEN Staff Reporter
Several Whidbey Island businesses made their mark in KING-5’s Evening Magazine The Best of Western Washington awards. El Cazador Mexican Grill and Catina won Best Mexican in the Great Meals category, and owner Natasha Rodriguez said she couldn’t be happier. She attributed the success to all the customers who’ve supported the restaurant all these years. “Our long-time customers who are like family to us helped spread the word,” Natasha Rodriguez said. El Cazador had one of the most competitive categories because 198 Mexican restaurants were vying for the title, she said. “As an owner, seeing my dad’s vision come together is amazing,” said owner Jose Rodriguez. This year, the restaurant partnered with Toppins, Blue Fox Drive-In and The BBQ Joint to make sure customers voted for their establishments. Blue Fox Drive-In won for Best Indie

Man pleads guilty to assault that resulted in brain injury By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 32-year-old man has pleaded guilty in an assault that left a well-known Oak Harbor youth football coach with a serious brain injury. Trevor J. Fleming, of Langley, pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court last week to assault in the third degree. As part of a plea bargain, both the prosecution and defense will recommend a three-month sentence at a Dec. 9 meeting. Fleming will agree to pay restitution to the victim, Tyson Boon, in an amount to be determined at a later hearing. In addition, Fleming will receive a drug-and-alcohol evaluation and comply with any recommendations from a counselor. BreAnna Boon, Tyson’s wife, said the family wanted Fleming to be convicted of second-degree assault, as he was originally charged, but decided they wanted to get the case over with and focus

BreAnna Boon said they hoped to make sure Fleming spends the holidays in jail so he gains a better understanding of how his actions hurt their family. “Tyson was having brain surgery 10 days before last Thanksgiving,” she said. Tyson Boon said he got out of the hospital after the assault only to suffer from a brain bleed. He was airlifted back to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for emergency surgery.
Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said the plea agreement avoids the risk of going to trial and having an acquittal. He pointed out that Boon doesn’t remember the assault and that witnesses had different versions of events. Plus, Fleming was claiming self defense, which means Ohme had the difficult task of proving otherwise. The police report in the case states that Fleming
bumped into Boon outside Mi Pueblo restaurant Sept. 9, 2012, and then punched him. Boon fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious. The assault broke the back of Boon’s skull and caused bleeding in his brain. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and remained in intensive care for five days. BreAnna Boon said her husband had trouble speaking, performing simple tasks and walking after the assault. He was eventually able to get back to work and returned to coaching youth football after intensive physical therapy. Tyson Boon said he still has memory problems and no longer has a sense of smell; he thinks the problems are probably permanent. “Our house is covered with Post-It notes and calendars to remind him of things,” BreAnna Boon said.
Oak Harbor man imprisoned for rape By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor man who raped an unconscious woman earlier this year was sentenced to prison. Mark E. Shawley, 44, pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court Aug. 30 to second-degree rape. Wednesday, Judge Alan Hancock handed him an indeterminate sentence of seven years to life in prison. Shawley will have to serve the mini-
mum of seven years in prison, and then a special review board will decide if he should be released. The 22-year-old victim reported to police that she woke on April 2 to find Shawley raping her, court documents state. She had been drinking the prior night and fell sleep feeling like she was going to throw up. The victim said that Shawley had been inappropriately touching and sexually harassing her for years.
The victim’s mother and others claimed that Shawley had been obsessed with her since she was a child, according to a pre-sentence report by the Department of Corrections. Shawley, who doesn’t have a criminal record, admitted to committing the crime immediately. “He has admitted that he did and is sorry for what he did and knows it is a crime,” defense attorney Jennifer Bouwens wrote in response to the report.

North Whidbey Fire and Rescue Chief Marv Koorn shows off one of the new 2013 Toyota RAV4s the district purchased to replace older emergency response vehicles.
N. Whidbey Fire gets fuel efficient wheels By SARA HANSEN Staff Reporter
North Whidbey Fire and Rescue has a new ride in town. The district bought four 2013 Toyota RAV4s as emergency medical response vehicles. So far, the district received one of the Toyotas, and will have the others within three weeks, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue Chief Marv Koorn said. “The goal is to be more efficient and keep our costs down, and respond like we need to respond,” he said. To purchase the vehicles, the district sold their 2004 Ford Expedition and Explorer and two of their 2001 Pierce rescue trucks. The Pierce trucks averaged three miles per gallon, and the Toyotas are estimated to get 25 miles per gallon. About two-thirds of all calls received are medical response calls, Koorn said. Currently the department has responded to 1,603 total calls this year — about 1,249 being medical responses. Koorn anticipates the fuel cost will go down with
the new vehicles, and also because the price of fuel is decreasing. For 2013 the district budgeted for $52,500 for fuel, and for 2014 they have $50,500. According to AAA, the average price for regular unleaded gas in Washington state on Thursday, Nov. 14 was $3.327 per gallon and diesel was $3.975 per gallon. The national average is currently at $3.194 per gallon for regular, which is less than the average a year ago at $3.443 per gallon. Koorn said they’ve set themselves up well for replacing equipment. The district also upgraded two of its 1997 engines for two 2009 models. The two engines together are estimated to be worth $500,000 to $600,000 each, but Koorn said they paid $450,000 for both. Because some other fire districts around the country are going through hard times and can’t afford some of their engines, other departments are able to buy the vehicles at a discounted price, Koorn said.

IN OUR OPINION
Time for Emerson to put an end to fighting, lawsuits over permit Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson has, for the second time in three years, filed a lawsuit against the county Planning Department concerning the same issue — the dispute over a building permit. It’s unfortunate that the fires of this seemingly endless debate are relit under the banner of righteousness. This long-drawn-out controversy began in 2010 during Emerson’s campaign to unseat former District No. 3 Democrat Commissioner John Dean. Word got out that Emerson and her husband, Kenneth, were building a deck at their Camano Island home without first obtaining a county permit. It became a campaign issue and Emerson was quick to cast the blame on Dean, former county planning director Bob Pederson and others. The Emersons even took them to court, but a Superior Court judge did not see it their way. But the debate didn’t end there. The Emersons started battling it out with the county — that time over the existence of an alleged wetland on the property. Earlier this year it appeared a resolution was reached and peace finally achieved. It came after Pederson ended the stalemate by ordering the Emersons to pay $37,000 in fines or face the prospects of a lien gainst their property. It was one of Pederson’s last acts as planning director before he resigned. The county, which obtained special legal representation from Snohomish County due to conflict of interest issues, brokered a deal with the Emersons’ lawyers in which the couple would only have to pay a fraction of the original fine — $5,000 — but only after the county returned $2,000 in filing fees. While the details of the ongoing dispute are somewhat complicated, having to do with wetland requirements, the Emersons’ argument is based on an idea that government has overstepped its power and might inexcusably infringe on their constitutional rights. There are times when one must stick to their ideals and fight for what they believe, but that time has long since passed for the Emersons. The issue was debated in court, by lawyers in private discussion, and by county and state regulators, and none but a few paid consultants and a handful of constituents have sided with the Emersons. By continuing the argument by filing yet another lawsuit, the Emersons aren’t being the self-sacrificing soldiers of liberty they portray themselves to be. Rather, they are acting more like children throwing a tantrum because they aren’t getting their way. Emerson was elected by the people to spend taxpayers’ money wisely, not sue the county. The time has come to end this issue. Put aside your righteousness, Commissioner Emerson, and show your constituents what it really means to lead by example.

Letters to the editor Tribute
Grateful
Vets Day program was heartwarming
Veterans of Foreign Wars There are good people Oak Harbor willing to help others Ala Spit
Editor, My wife and I, along with friends, attended the “Musical Tribute to Veterans” program sponsored by the Navy League, at the Oak Harbor High School on Veterans Day. Thanks to all who made this such a heartwarming, moving, patriotic event. Of special note were all the letters written by third and fourth graders expressing their gratitude to their military parents, loved ones and veterans in general. Broadview teacher Renee Hall guided this beautiful and touching project. What a great example she has set for all children. Let us always remember our veterans especially the fallen and remember, “All Gave Some, Some Gave All.”
Editor, A few weeks ago, I wrote a letter regarding the theft of recyclable wiring from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The letter generated interest beyond our expectations. Whitehead-Muzzall Post No. 7392, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S., would like to extend a public thank you to Blue Mountain Electric and Burley’s Funeral Chapel, Inc. for their generous donations to help offset our loss. This money was totally unexpected, but sincerely welcomed. It warms our hearts to know that there are companies that do remember veterans and the sacrifices they made for this country. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for these people and hope that this letter to the editor will help make the public aware that there are still a number of good-

More Letters to the editor What concerns me is with the removal of the top of the old portion of the dike, down to high tide line, it will soon be a similar problem. Being third generation on this property, I know the tides and currents as they affect this area, and can say that what they are planning is another Ala Spit disaster in progress.

Fund
Cutting conservation futures shortsighted Editor’s note: The following was submitted to the Whidbey News-Times as an open letter to the Island County Board of Commissioners: We are organizations that work on behalf of public recreation, habitat conservation, shore access and animal welfare. We urge the commissioners to continue funding the Conservation Futures Fund at its current level, and not reduce funding or freeze acquisitions. Conser vation Futures preserves open space and farm land through a small tax paid by every property owner. It costs the owner of a $250,000 house less than $13 per year. The proposed action will reduce that by about one-third. This is “penny wise and pound foolish.” Through Conservation Futures everyone, rich or poor, gets access to extensive open space lands for less than one-half the price of a State Parks Discover Pass.
By state law, the Conservation Futures program may only be used to “protect, preserve, maintain, improve, restore, limit the future use of, or otherwise conserve, selected open space land, farm and agricultural land, and timber land … for public use or enjoyment.” Conservation Futures works on the “willing seller, willing buyer‚“ principle. These lands provide recreation, protect watersheds, conserve wildlife, recharge aquifers, sequester carbon and assure that prime farmland stays farmland. Since Island County began using this statewide program in 1992, Conservation Futures has preserved and created public beach access; forest parks; offleash dog areas; wildlife habitat of regional significance; miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Double Bluff County Park, Ala Spit, Greenbank Farm, Freund Marsh, Davis Slough Heron Rookery, Trillium Forest, Iverson Spit, Four Springs Preserve, and the Three Sisters farmland are just a few of the many important open spaces conserved throughout Island County with the help of Conservation Futures. The money raised locally through the Conser vation Futures tax is highly leveraged, providing the funds required to obtain matching state, federal and nonprofit organizational dollars, saving far more open space than could possibly be accomplished with local funding alone. And because many of these places are next to other protected lands, they help create a system of open space lands that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Double Bluff County Park pro-

vides access to two miles of stateowned beach that would otherwise be inaccessible to the public. The Hoypus Hill addition connects to, and enlarges, Deception Pass State Park. The Conser vation Futures Fund made these and other acquisitions possible. These lands are not only vital for residents, but attract tourists who visit our local businesses. Those tourists come here because there are no longer miles of public beach and forest trails where they live. We should not repeat that mistake. The open space lands that we conserve now will help attract new residents in the future who value the high quality of life these lands help provide. Conservation Futures is conservation now for the future. The Conser vation Futures Fund has never been able to raise enough to fill the demand. In the 21 years of its existence, no Board of Commissioners has ever reduced Conservation Futures. Yet the Island County commissioners are considering reducing this small tax by about one-third, as well as freezing new acquisitions. And the fund would not be saving up money for future acquisitions. We urge the county commissioners to reject this shortsighted proposal. The most important part of this program is right in its name. By saving open space now, we are conserving our future and our childrens’ childrens’ futures. Please keep the Conservation
Futures program at its current level.

Cost in lost resources likely tremendous Editor, I served as your county commissioner because I cared not just about today, but about the long-term future of our islands and their people. There is no future without cropyielding farms, food and oxygen producing oceans and forests and clean and plentiful water. Over and over again, you made it clear that you place a high value on preserving these life sustaining necessities, which is why our legislators gave counties a tool to set conservation lands aside with the Conservation Futures Fund program. In Island County this program began with Republican commissioners in 1991 and was supported by every board of county commissioners since, only one of which has been led by Democrats. Not only has it remained in place, it has been increased on average 1 percent per year. The fund is provided through a very small property tax, assessed
exclusively for conservation purposes. It costs the average property owner in Island County about $12.50 per year or $1.04 each month. It currently raises about $680,000 annually, a modest amount when considering land purchase. Dismissing the visionary planning desires of the populace and under the guise of “tax cuts,” Tea Party Commissioner Kelly Emerson has been hell bent on demolishing this fund since she took office. Commissioner Jill Johnson has now joined this crusade in support of a halt on further preservation acquisitions and a one-third assessment reduction. These two commissioners are opposing sound judgments of their own party and our community’s long-standing preservation values. Their proposed reduction would save the average property owner a whopping 35 cents a month. What it would cost in lost resources is priceless. The conservation fund typically provides the foundational dollars required to obtain match funding from other sources, without which we could never locally raise the money needed to set these lands aside. Reducing this tiny fund is shortsighted, fiscally irresponsible and unjust to future generations. Tell our county commissioners that you support having your conservation dollars applied where they count, toward the future. Together our small contributions yield generational dividends.

Eleanore Stone Lewis
Eleanore Stone Lewis went quietly in her sleep to be with our Lord at the age of 94 on Oct. 18, 2013, in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was living with her daughter. She was born on July 20, 1919, in Staten Island, N.Y., where she also attended school. She graduated from Presbyterian Hospital nursing school in Pennsylvania. Eleanore served in the Army during WWII as a nurse in England and Wales, earning the rank of First Lieutenant. Besides hospitals and the Army, she also worked in private practice. Eleanore, Ellie to those who knew her, moved with
her family to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1955 where she and her husband, Walt, raised their family. She also lived in Nome and Wasilla for a period of time. Later Ellie and Walt built a home in Oak Harbor and retired there in 1975. They attended the United Methodist church in Oak Harbor. Ellie worked at the Native Service Hospital in Anchorage as well as volunteering with “Navy Mothers” and working at the airport in the Armed Forces room. She enjoyed working at the elections and helping people in many different capacities. Ellie enjoyed bowling, playing bridge, working outside and especially traveling the world, which she did extensively. She loved her family and her many friends, recalling happy memories spent with each and everyone of them. She was preceded in death by her husband Walter I. Lewis. She is survived by her children A. Wayne Lewis of Coupeville; Mark W. Lewis of Anchorage; Jay D. Lewis of Eagle River, Alaska; and Susan Lewis Swindells of Wasilla.

Leonidas Stell Jordan, 85, died of colon cancer on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at his home in Coupeville. His death was marked by the same pragmatism, humor and sense of adventure with which he had approached everything in his life. Leo lived a rich, full, active life. Born on July 17, 1928, in Butte, Mont., Leo was the fourth of nine children born to Stell and Doris Jordan. Always very independent, he left Butte at 13 with a dime in his pocket and headed west. For a short time he held a variety of odd jobs, including a stint as a cow hand on a Montana ranch, before beginning a lifelong career as a merchant seaman. He worked his way from ordinary seaman to become the youngest captain working for American Mail Line, a distinction he held for many years. In 1950 he married Joanne Little. They settled in Edmonds, and raised four children. The couple relocated to Depoe Bay, Ore., where they lived until her death in 1988. Having retired during his wife’s illness, Leo spent the

next several years traveling in his motorhome. In 1993, he married Billie Jean Cubbage (Bartle) and they moved to Coupeville. He loved his waterfront setting and often referred to it as the “perfect anchorage.” Never idle, he worked hard at his retirement. He loved to help people and was always willing to donate his time, money and skills. He was an active volunteer for many years with the Coupeville Museum and the Coupeville Arts Festival. He also found time to help many friends, neighbors and family members with remodeling or other projects. Leo was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, brother and friend. Many were made better by having him in their life. Leo often stated that he wanted to live, not just exist. Those left behind would agree that he did just that. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife Billie Jean; daughters Sharon Smith (Tom), Kim Jordan (Ted) and Pam Ainsley (Keith); and stepdaughters Carrie Cubbage and Rebecca Noble (Mark).

Everyone finds different ways to get close to God FAITHFUL LIVING By JOAN BAY KLOPE During the last few weeks we have taken a look at various things people do to connect with God in personal and sustained ways. I’ve been using Gary Thomas’ book, “Sacred Pathways: Discovering Your Soul’s Path to God,” as a reference and I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this series. The diversity of people with whom we live — and the ways they naturally interact with God as well as friends and family — explains in great part why we behave the way we do; why we make the choices we make; how we process information and respond to life as it unfolds. This week we take a look at people Thomas calls “Intellectuals.” These are people who are energized, filling with awe and love, when they learn something new about God and His ways. Just as caregivers can spend hours planning ways to better serve those who are shut-in and no longer living independently as they once did, so the intellectual can spend time happily contemplating a challenging Bible verse or spiritual concept. If Intellectuals are not learning new things about God, they feel bored and stagnant. And while church folks often talk about “transforming hearts,” in Scripture we see that people were urged to use their mind wisely. Jesus himself called each follower to love God with all their heart, soul and mind. True Intellectuals broaden their faith by gaining understanding of basic disciplines that include church history, Bible studies, theology, ethics and apologetics. These are the people with vast libraries, scheduled Bible studies and fully loaded eReaders. Ask them what they’ve been
doing with their spare time and you just may get an ear full about the Christian movement in America. You might also hear some scripture recently memorized. Or better yet, you might be asked your opinion of the Heidelberg Catechism. Lofty stuff? It sure can be. But Intellectuals have a way of incorporating such knowledge into everyday life. They read the headlines and are energized by asking these kinds of questions: When does life begin? How do we know when natural life ends? Can nuclear war ever be considered a “just” war? How do we live responsibly in a worldwhere there are so many people in need? A Christian Intellectual will warn you that those who don’t know what they believe lose their ability to make right decisions. They delight in such contemplations and believe they serve God best when explaining what the Christian faith is all about and how it can be demonstrated in their everyday lives. These past couple of weeks our community has suffered right alongside the Goheen family and everyone involved in that horrendous Halloween night car accident. In response, people have chosen to take many different paths in their efforts to be helpful and offer comfort. There are those who have cooked and cleaned. Some have prayed like warriors. Others are organizing. The Intellectuals are offering soothing and hopeful Scripture. God uses them all, offering everyone involved a measure of healing and hope, strength and growth. When life involves untouchable sorrow and pain, God draws near to us. You’ll see Him, and hopefully experience Him, by simply looking around Oak Harbor.

Washington accepts offer to play hoops for Air Force By JIM WALLER Sports editor
The Air Force is getting a new long range bomber. Oak Harbor High School senior Drew Washington agreed Wednesday, Nov. 13, to play basketball for the United States Air Force Academy. Washington, a noted three-point marksman, said he always wanted to play Division I basketball: “It has been a goal of mine since I was little.” When Air Force first started recruiting Washington, he “wasn’t so sure” he wanted to attend the Academy. But the more he got to know the coaching staff and the Falcons’ playing style, he realized it was the place for him. “They shoot a lot of threes,” Washington said. “They play my type of game.” Washington, a 6-3 shooting guard, was recruited by a number of smaller schools and was leaning toward signing with the University of New England, a Division III school in Maine. The smaller schools, he said, “could not provide for me what the Air Force could” – a chance to play college basketball at the highest level

Washington agreed to play baskeball for the Air Force Academy and Harper will play volleyball at Western Wasnington University. and a guaranteed job upon graduation. Even though Air Force is the only major college to recruit Washington, he doesn’t have concerns about playing at that level: “I have always had a lot of confi-
dence; I don’t doubt myself.” The Air Force Academy doesn’t redshirt athletes, so Washington will attend the Air Force Prep School next year to further develop physically and prove he can handle the rigorous academic chal-
lenge of the Academy. Military academies do not offer athletic scholarships, only appointments. Even though the Air Force Academy recruited Washington and he agreed to play for them, he still needs
to be accepted into the institution. Washington understands that the demands of academy life can be daunting and admitted “it will be tough.” He added with a laugh, “I don’t like people yelling at
me.” But just like his belief in his basketball abilities, he is confident he can handle the stress of Academy life. Washington said Jace Chacon of Everett High School also agreed to play basketball for Air Force, and having a good friend there should help the transition into military-college life. Washington and Chacon play for the same AAU and fall ball teams. Washington is the son of Mike and Rebecca Washington, and his brother, Mike Jr., is a sophomore guard on the Princeton University basketball team. Washington Sr. is also Drew’s high school coach at Oak Harbor. Washington Sr. said, “I am very happy for Drew and the opportunity to attend the Air Force Academy. It won’t be easy, but I think he is ready for the challenge. Having two kids play basketball at two of the most prestigious schools in the country is an outstanding feeling.” (A story featuring Kayleigh Harper appeared in the Nov. 2 issue of the Whidbey NewsTimes.)
Crebbin steps down as Oak Harbor wrestling coach By JIM WALLER Sports editor
When Oak Harbor wrestlers return to the mat room Monday to begin another season, the man normally greeting them at the door, Mike Crebbin, will be missing. Crebbin, after eight years of leading the Wildcat program, decided to step down after last season. “It was a matter of priorities and time,” Crebbin said. “It was a difficult decision, but I couldn’t figure out a way to be the best coach I could be for OHHS and still be the best Dad I must be for my daughters.” Crebbin said, however, he is stepping down and not out of coaching: “Coaching/teaching is what I do. I will never be done. I will return as soon as I can. It may be in the areas that my daughters are involved (soccer, gymnastics, swim, basketball, etc.) or I might choose to wrestling.” Crebbin and wife Toni, who resigned from coaching the
Coupeville High School volleyball team last fall, have two college-aged sons, Kelley and Joshua, and daughters Kaia and Jaelyn, both 9. Crebbin’s coaching career began in California where he coached football and softball for two years. That was followed by a five-year stint as wrestling coach at South Whidbey prior to moving to Oak Harbor. He was an assistant wrestling coach at Oak Harbor for two years before taking over the team. He has also been an assistant track coach at Oak Harbor off and on the past five years. Crebbin considers last wrestling season as the most successful when his club went 15-1, captured the Wesco 3A North title and finished 10th at state. He was named Wesco 3A and Region 1 3A Coach of the Year, and was Oak Harbor High School’s Coach of the Year. The highlights of his career include seeing Ben Pralle earn his first win and his dad running out of See crebbin, A11

competition. “Most of all, I hope they knew that I loved them,” Crebbin said. Over the years he saw several changes in wrestling. He found that modern athletes “respond less to external motivations, positive or negative,” and a coach needs to get his athletes to “internalize and want to work harder.”

The sport also has grown more technical and takes an athlete about one season just to understand the basics. Coaching at Oak Harbor High School was made easier by the support of Athletic Director Nicki Luper and Principal Dwight Lundstrom, Crebbin said. Peter Esvelt, one of Crebbin’s assistants the past
eight years, is the new head coach. “Peter will be great,” Crebbin said. “He has been a major part of the program’s success.” “He has the vision, energy, experience and skill for the job.” “Hopefully he learned from all my mistakes.”

“I want to see all the P-8s here and the Growlers to go somewhere else,” said COER member Paula Spina. “P-8s are people friendly.” This EIS process is unrelated to the one that will study the environmental impacts of the EA-18G Growlers and the EA-6B Prowlers at both Ault Field and Outlying Field Coupeville. Those forums will be held Dec. 3-5 in Coupeville, Oak Harbor and Anacortes. The EIS dealing with the P-8A squadrons are considering two alternatives resulting in either six or seven new fleet squadrons. The new P-8A jets will replace the existing three P-3 squadrons currently stationed at NAS Whidbey. “We’ve been flying the P-3 since the early 1960s and it’s been a great work horse for the Navy,” said Capt. Vince Segars, commander of one of NAS Whidbey’s P-3 squadrons. “Everybody in the place is excited to fly a new aircraft. Its performance is going to be better.” According to the EIS, the P-8A emits fewer harmful emissions than the P-3, and is able to ascend faster, decreasing noise impact. Rick Meyer, with U.S. Fleet Forces Aviation Shore Readiness, said the P-8A is “slightly” louder than the P-3, but that it will be performing fewer operations. Currently, about 25 percent of P-3 training operations are done via aircraft simulators, Meyer said. With the transition to the P-8A, about 75 percent of operations will be performed
running over the remains. Nobody is charged in the apparent hit-and-run. Elgie Bedford, 81, of Wasilla, Alaska, was struck and killed near Big Timber in Montana. His body was found on a highway in the morning of Sept. 30. Later that day, a resident reported finding a body part, later identified as belonging to Bedford, at a Livingston car wash, according to the affidavit of probable cause. A clerk at a gas station reported that the driver of a black pickup pulling a trailer asked for the location of a car wash in the early morning hours. The driver, later identified as Wryan Young, said she ran over furniture and that material was hanging underneath the truck, the court document states. A trooper with the Montana State Patrol was able to obtain the license plate number of the truck from security video and identified the Youngs from department of motor vehicle records. The trooper asked Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office to contact the Youngs at their Oak Harbor home last month. “Lt. Hawley observed that terror crossed Wryan’s face” when he showed up at the house, the trooper wrote in the report. She went into the house and yelled, “Mom, Dad, the police are here about Montana.” Wryan Young allegedly admitted she was driving the truck in Montana, court documents state. Westley Young told Hawley that a semi truck ahead of them “hit the guy first,” the report alleges. The Washington State Patrol seized Young’s truck for testing. Court documents allege that human tissue and bone were found on the undercarriage. The Youngs were given summons on Tuesday to appear at a Dec. 9 court hearing, Linneweber said.

Rick Meyer, with U.S. Fleet Forces Aviation Shore Readiness, explains the impact of P-8A jet noise to those who attended the Navy’s EIS forum Wednesday. with simulators. For that reason, Meyer said, even though the number of operations will increase, the impact on the community will be very low. A few in attendance seemed concerned that the sound level reporting by the Navy was done by modeling and not actual recorded sound levels. Meyer responded that modeling provides more accurate data because it allows the Navy to factor in variables such as weather. Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer for NAS Whidbey, who was in attendance to field resident questions, said that, while the P8-A transition is still a few years away, the new squadrons and their support staffs will provide stimulus to the Whidbey Island economy. “There will be more active-duty sailors and next spring we’ll get a decision from leaders on the scope of new construction,” Nortier said. Becky Spraitzar, a member of anoth-
er group, Concerned Citizens of Island County, said the forum offered a good way for residents to voice concerns about the impacts of the aircraft on the community. “Let’s make NAS Whidbey the poster child for how the Navy and the community can work together,” Spraitzar said. “I honestly believe we can work together.” Copies of the draft supplemental EIS concerning the P8-As are available for public review at the following libraries: Oak Harbor City Library, 1000 S.E. Regatta Dr.; Anacortes Public Library, 1220 10th St.; La Conner Regional Library, 614 Morris St.; Coupeville Library, 788 N.W.

ISLAND LIVING
house of memories & history
Saturday, November 16, 2013 • The Whidbey News-Times
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
T
here’s a house on Midway Boulevard filled with the memories of when Oak Harbor was a small town filled with oak trees, tracts of open land were used as ballfields by neighborhood children and just about everybody knew one another or was related. The little, yellow house doesn’t have a name, like many other historic homes on Whidbey Island, but its history tells the story of a family, as well as a community. Family members are holding an open house Sunday, Nov. 17, to allow the community to tour the recently renovated home. The gathering is 1-3:30 p.m. at 580 S.E. Midway Blvd. Oak Harbor resident Michael Dougliss, who has lived most of his life in the house, and his cousin Loann Gulick, the new owner, will display photos and artifacts from the city’s history, museum-style. Anyone with questions about Oak Harbor’s past, or who likes to hear good stories, should spend time with Dougliss during the open house. He’s a fountain of knowledge and memories. “I can still see grandma making Thanksgiving dinner,” Dougliss said, motioning toward the small kitchen. “I remember I could smell the food cooking from my bedroom.” As caretaker of Maple Leaf Cemetery, Dougliss has years of experience talking to people about the past. Gulick, who grew up in Central
Whidbey, said she has fond memories of coming to the home for holidays. “The house has so many memories for us,” she said. “By taking care of it, we can keep the memories alive.” According to Dougliss, P.P. Custer originally lived in the home, which was built in 1924. He was a state legislator and a judge. He said the house was likely built by Otto Van Dyke, an Oak Harbor architect who built the Roller Barn. Dougliss said his grandparents, Theodore and Mary Dougliss, purchased the home in 1955 for $9,995. He explained that his grandmother didn’t think they could afford the house at first. She needed a $1,000 down payment, but had only half, so she made an offer to a local bachelor for whom she often cooked. If he put in the second $500, she told him she would repay him in meals. He agreed. It was a crowded but happy home, Dougliss recalled. He was 5 years old when the extended family of eight moved to the two-bedroom abode. He lived there with his grandparents, his mother, his sister, two uncles and an aunt. “We were the Waltons before the Waltons,” he said. Dougliss is brimming with stories about the city’s history and his family’s connection to it. His family has deep roots in Oak Harbor. His relatives first came to the island in 1874 and he counts among his relations such wellknown families as the Barringtons, the O’Learys and the Nunans. His great-grandfather, Bill Dougliss, became Oak Harbor’s first town marshal in the 1930s.

From left, Loann Gulick, Joan Dougliss and Michael Dougliss prepare the family’s historic home in Oak Harbor for an open house this Sunday.
“This town has lost a lot of history,” he said. “You see so much in this town that gets torn down and nobody seems to care.” Michael Dougliss
His great-grandmother Everdina Dougliss and her daughter, Elizabeth Dougliss, were on the ferry Calista when it famously sank near Seattle in 1922. His uncle Albert Dougliss, known affectionately as “Uncle Brick,” lost four fingers on one hand in a saw-related accident during construction of Deception Pass Bridge. That didn’t stop him from either working or duck hunting on North Whidbey. He remembers playing as a child
in the haystacks of a barn that used to sit not far from where the police department currently is. He said his grandfather used to shoot pheasants out of oak trees that used to populate the city in groves. Dougliss lived in the house until he married his wife, Joan, in 1999. Instead of tearing down the old house, Gulick offered to buy it and renovate it. The sheetrock had to be torn off walls so that new wiring and plumbing could be installed. The house

got new flooring. Much of the work, Gulick said, was done by family members. She also renovated the Coupeville house where she still lives; and a family house across the road from the Midway Boulevard. “It’s in our blood to save old houses,” she said. “History is our thing.” Yet Dougliss said he’s dismayed that so few people in Oak Harbor seem to care about the city’s past. “This town has lost a lot of history,” he said. “You see so much in this town that gets torn down and nobody seems to care.” He hopes that a little history lesson may help change attitudes.

Moratorium CONTINUED FROM A1 recreational marijuana and comes with many restrictions. Production and distribution of medical marijuana is already legal. Several local medical marijuana growers and prospective business people told the board during a recent public hearing they were upset about the proposed moratorium. John Youngblood, who spoke against the moratorium at the public hearing, said Thursday that he believes the move will force businesses to set up shop in other counties. Youngblood owns 22 acres near Strawberry Point and said he was hoping to start a growing business under the new law. “If I get it by Jan. 1, I won’t be able to start doing anything until May,” Youngblood said. “For anyone who wants to participate … they are coming in at the end of things.” Youngblood said the commissioner’s actions will cause businesses to start up in other counties in order to maintain a competitive edge, losing valuable tax revenue. Youngblood said he also owns property in King County and is considering applying for a license there instead. Price Johnson, who advocated for a moratorium shorter than six months, suggested handing the issue over to the Planning Commission with a charge to expedite the process.

“I do feel a sense of urgency in moving forward,” Price Johnson said. “There’s a perception that we’re just going to kick the can down the road.” Many of the questions posed by local entrepreneurs were answered by county Planning Director David Wechner during Wednesday’s meeting. Wechner said that licensed medical marijuana dispensaries can also apply for a recreational license. Growers can produce both types of marijuana on a single property but the to operations have to be completely separate, Wechner said. The same is true for businesses who want to process marijuana for distribution, the operations must be separate, he said. One of the largest concerns that was voiced was whether or not the state would approve licenses in counties with moratoriums. Wecher responded that, yes, the state will still approve licenses under a moratorium and the allotted four dispensaries slotted for Island County will not go to other counties. Currently, the state is allowing for one dispensary in Oak Harbor and three islandwide. Johnson, who was a proponant of the moratorium, said she thought it was important to involve the public in deciding where these businesses can exist. “The answers to these questions make me more certain it’s the right thing to do,” Johnson said. “We’re talking about how we’re using our land and how we zone.” “We need time to go through that public process.”

emerson CONTINUED FROM A1 In those situations, votes are simply taken without her unless a tie breaker is necessary The other commisioners are visibly frustrated. Emerson said Thursday that she has complained about the technology for years, but didn’t say why she cannot attend meetings in person as a remedy. Her fellow commissioners agree that Emerson’s lack of participation in the process is straining the board and how it operates. “This form of government depends on all three being participants,” Price Johnson said. “It’s difficult when one member decides to disengage.” “It’s unfortunate for the residents of Camano.” Most recently, the vote on the recreational marijuana moratorium was key for Camano residents, many of whom opposed it during the public hearing. Emerson’s views on rural issues like this one are key to ensuring the county moves in the right direction, said Jill Johnson, who serves as the board’s chairwoman. Johnson concedes Emerson’s commute is longer — an hour and a half from Camano — but contends that shouldn’t keep her from regularly attending meetings in person. “It’s two days out of a work week,” said Johnson. “You have to show up.” During this year’s budget process, Emerson, while physically present, rarely commented or offered suggestions. While she did find a win in paying off one of the county’s conservation futures loan, she ultimately voted against the budget. Emerson said she abstained from a debate over budgetary decisions because she
believed she would not be able to gain support from either commissioner and didn’t want to waste taxpayers’ time. Fellow Republican Johnson said Emerson has a voice that needs to be heard. “I understand its frustrating,” Johnson said. “But the bigger issue is that I value her opinion. She represents a different thought process than I do. Without her participation, we’re not having a full view.” Emerson was elected and has supporters who deserve representation, Johnson said. EMERSon: “She’s gotta pull her Says work on boards off island seat up to the table.” One result of keeps her from county commis- Emerson’s absences is that it forces Johnson and sion meetings. Price Johnson to compromise more than they’d like in order to move actions forward. “There are times I don’t want to have to compromise as far as I do,” Johnson said. “Helen and I care about the county, but we have ideological differences.” Emerson’s absences and lack of participation in commissioner meetings seems to come in the wake of her removal as chairwoman of the board in July. Emerson and her husband, Ken, have also been embroiled in lawsuits against Island County over an unissued building permit, the most recent filed by the couple on Nov. 4. According to former clerk of the board Elaine Marlow, the county has not established specific job requirements for county commissioners, deferring to state law. RCW 36.32, which outlines the makeup and function of county commissions, but does not specify job requirements either.
