Navy says it will limit OLF touch-n-goes COER: Field is not as essential as claimed
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A Coupeville-based group that sued the Navy in July over jet noise is claiming that Outlying Field Coupeville is not as essential as the Navy claims. The Navy suspended touch-and-go operations at OLF Coupeville in May, but plans to resume in January in a more limited capacity than in recent years. The landing practice field is part of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
After temporarily suspending practices at OLF Coupeville, the Navy shifted some training for the EA-18G Growler to Ault Field and El Centro Naval Air Facility in California. “Although the Navy has insisted that its outlying field next to Ebey’s National Reserve in Coupeville is an ‘essential adjunct’ of Whidbey Island’s Naval Air Station, the controversial World War II runway is not as essential as the Navy claims,” Michael Monson said in a news release this week on behalf of the Coupeville-
based Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, the group that filed the lawsuit. “Clearly, the Navy can conduct its noisy practicing at an ‘elsewhere’ OLF.” The Navy is in the beginning stages of conducting a new environmental study on the impacts of the Growler, which is replacing the Navy’s EA-6B Prowler. Public meetings started Tuesday night in Coupeville, and continue 4-8 p.m. tonight at the Oak Harbor High School Student Union Building, and 4-8 p.m. Thursday at Anacortes Middle School. COER members say that the Growler is louder than See olf coupeville, A16

Stores on Pioneer Way stayed open later so community members could get a start on their holiday shopping. See story on page A16.
Partners who built a development that includes the new Island Drug store have filed a $499,000 claim for damages against the city of Oak Harbor. Dry Lake Land Stewardship, LLC, alleges in a Nov. 18 claim that city staff misapplied state and city laws, resulting in a delay of the project and the alleged damages. The claim documents identify Oak Harbor residents Chris Anderson and Aaron Syring, owner of Island Drug, as members of Dry Lake Land Stewardship. In a phone interview, Anderson said the main obstacle in the development was that city staff members refused to recognize the company’s purchase of a portion of a lot from Kenneth Manni in 2006. “We definitely had quite a time with the city,” he said. “The bright side is, we got our project done.” The 91-page claim for damages states that the company sustained damages from holding costs from the

A time when planning, purchases and brainstorming come together in the form of elaborately decorated Christmas trees. Mollie Anthony is the chairperson in charge of tree
decorating for the Festival of Trees in Oak Harbor. Each year, she’ll decorate one or two trees and make sure there are plenty of ornaments and lights on hand to transform 7-foot tall Noble firs. Each of the larger trees are wrapped with more than 1,000 lights and are auctioned off at a black-tie dinner that benefits the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County. The event is at 5 p.m., Friday, Dec. 6 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. It is nearly sold out at $85 a seat. Those interested in tickets may call 360-279-0644. For kids, there is a Teddy Bear and Character breakfast Saturday morning with sessions at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the Elks Lodge with tickets ranging from $5-$10. The fundraising event culminates with a community tree viewing and open house at the Elks Lodge from 1-4 p.m. Saturday. Ten large trees will be on display, each at or just over 7 feet tall. There also will be four table-top-sized trees. The trees are from two North Whidbey tree farms -- Pacific Winds Farm off Torpedo Road and Hennrich Tree Farm on Hastie Lake Road. Some arrived Tuesday morning fresh from a flocking inside a garage at Gail and Chuck Jaeger’s home in Oak Harbor. “The community sort of sees it as the opening of the holiday season,” Mollie Anthony said.

She’s held that title each year since the event started in Oak Harbor 15 years ago. “She is really a sweet, sweet person,” said Penny Perka, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County. “She’s done it so graciously.” The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to pair kids facing adversity with caring adults. The Festival of Trees, sponsored by Island Thrift, is the organization’s biggest
fundraiser, raising $132,000 last year. Trees typically are auctioned off from $1,000 to $2,000; however, Anthony remembers one year a bidding war resulted in a $6,500 donation.

Oak Harbor man arrested in online sting operation By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor man was arrested as part of the Anacortes Police Department’s online sting operation targeting sexual predators. Detectives with the Anacortes police posed as a 13-year-old girl on a social networking site during the operations, which was a collaboration with the Skagit County Prosecutor’s Office and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, according to Capt. Lou D’Amelio with the Anacortes Police Department. During the first week of November, an ad placed on the website for about 12 hours generated more than 100 responses. “Many of the people responding to the
ad almost immediately began to ask sexual questions and several wanted to meet with the girl for the purpose of a sexual contact,” D’Amelio wrote in a statement. A 24-year-old Oak Harbor man was arrested and booked into Skagit County Jail. He allegedly texted numerous times describing sex acts he wished to perform with the would-be 13-year-old child and requested that she send nude photos of herself, according to the statement. A 49-year-old Mount Vernon man traveled to Anacortes to meet with the girl; evidence found on him confirmed his intent to have sex with her, police allege. D’Amelio reported that additional arrests are expected.
Fight over UFC leads to assault By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor man is accused of choking his wife and restraining her from leaving after fighting about whether he should drink while watching Ultimate Fighting Championship, court documents show. Erik Selvidge, 25, was ordered held in Island County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill ruled at a Nov. 18 hearing that there was probable cause to hold him on suspicion of kidnapping and assault. Prosecutors charged Selvidge Nov. 20 with assault in the second degree and unlawful imprisonment in the second degree. Police responded to a report of a domestic assault
at Navy housing Nov. 11 after a neighbor saw a man, later identified as Selvidge, holding a woman on the ground, according to a report by Oak Harbor Police Officer Mike Clements. The alleged victim later said she and her husband, Erik Selvidge, were arguing because she didn’t want him to go to a friend’s house to watch UFC. She told police that he drinks and becomes “very aggressive,” the report states. She said Selvidge became upset by the way she was speaking to him, saying he is not a woman and “demanded respect as a man.” He allegedly tackled her, choked her until she was “seeing stars,” the report says. She tried to leave through the front door, but he slammed it shut and locked it. He threw her down and
choked her again until she couldn’t breathe, the report states. The woman was able to get out through the garage and ran down the block; she said she thought she was free until Selvidge tackled her in a neighbor’s yard, the officer wrote. Selvidge allegedly choked her and told her “tap out for your life.” The woman said she couldn’t breathe and thought she was going to die. He released her after she tapped him on the shoulder, said the report. Selvidge told the officer that they had been arguing and he didn’t want his wife to leave, but she “escaped” out of the garage; he admitted to tackling her in a neighbor’s yard and wrapping his arm around her neck, but he described it as “not necessarily a choke,” Clements wrote.

Crews of the Royal Australian Air Force will train on Growlers at NAS Whidbey over three years.
Aussies ‘invade’ NAS Whidbey By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Over the next three years, six crews of the Royal Australian Air Force will train to fly the new EA-18G Growler at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The pilots will join the base’s Fleet Replacement Squadron and Electronic Attack Squadron 129. As part of the U.S. government’s Foreign Military Sales program, the Australian government is purchasing 12 of the Boeing-made Growlers. Australia is the first foreign customer of the Growler, and will start taking delivery of this platform in 2017. The U.S. started using the Growler in 2008 and is replacing all of its various electronic attack aircraft platforms with this particular aircraft. Overseeing this joint U.S. and Australian venture is the FA-18 and EA-18G Program Management Office at Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Md. NAS Whidbey’s Electronic Attack Wing, U.S. Pacific
Fleet, commanded by Capt. John Springett, provides direct training support. “Training with CVWP is essential to our ability to establish a credible AEA (airborne electronic attack) capability,” said RAAF Wing Commander Paul Jarvis, Deputy Director for EA-18G Growler Transition in a news release. “We’ve started early as there is an awful lot to learn between now and when we begin flying our own EA-18Gs in 2017,” said Jarvis. “The support that we have had from the U.S. Navy, particularly from Capt. Springett and his team here at NAS Whidbey Island has been truly magnificent.” Each of the six Australian teams will consist of one pilot and one electronic warfare officer. The 12 Australian aviators will learn land-based Growler operations exclusively, and will not be performing field carrier landing practice as required of the U.S. pilots. FLTLT Sean Rutledge, who arrived in Oak Harbor Sept.
18, will become the Australian instructor for the Growler. He said the first of the his teams will begin their nine-month training cycle in January. “I’m pretty well aligned with American fliers,” said Rutledge, who has several multi-national exercises under his belt. He spent three years flying F-111s, and another three years flying FA-18F Super Hornets. Rutledge is from Far North Queensland. He came stateside with his wife and family dog. “It’s a great spot with plenty of outdoor things to do,” he said, “but I’ll have to ‘transition’ from surfing to snow skiing to fit in with the very welcoming people here in the Northwest.” “Growler is a game changer for the Royal Australian Air Force,” said Jarvis. “With its unique mix of capabilities it provides multiple options to commanders, all of which reduce the risk to supported Australian Defense Force or coalition forces whilst increasing their lethality.”

Holiday Market features local vendors, products and, maybe, Santa Claus

hose stopping by the Holiday Market on Pioneer Way in downtown Oak Harbor might see some familiar faces from the farmers’ markets during the summer. “It’s nice to have something to do in the off season,” said Lisa Phillips, beekeeper and Round Tuit Farms owner. Phillips is selling honey at the market. She has six hives that she looks after on Whidbey Island. If anyone has questions about honey, Phillips is the person to ask. She has plenty of samples to make sure people can find the right honey for them. She also sells honey from four other beekeepers, so there is a variety of honey to try. Other local products include soaps. Both Scott Thomas, owner of Oak Harbor Soap Company, and Fabiola Tercero, owner of True Soap Company, make their products locally. Thomas’ daughter used to buy him local soaps wherever she went. When he came to Oak Harbor, he wanted to do the same for her. Since he couldn’t find any at the time, he decided to make soap himself. Tercero learned how to makes soap because her oldest son has autism and sensitive skin. She started making soap for him, and the practice evolved into a business. Her soaps range from shaving soap with mustache designs, to unscented soap for people with sensitive skin. “I like to make it fun and pretty without compromising the ingredients,” Tercero said. All the vendors selling fabric-made items agreed that the Seahawks-themed products are selling fast. Peggy Davenport, Peggy’s Creations owner, said her Seahawks purses are popular
this year. Last year she sold more Washington State Cougars and University of Washington Huskies purses. “You can’t buy the fabric — it’s simply out of stock.” said Mary Fyfe, Blanket Creations owner. Fyfe sews fleece blankets and has a little Seahawks fabric left. Unless a client has some more, she can’t get any for a while. Other vendors are family-run operations. Sarah Seelow, S&G Plates co-owner, works with her mother Gail Seelow to make decorative glass plates by gluing and spraying fabric to make designs. The plates also can be used as serving platters. “It’s good mother-daughter quality time,” Seelow said. Others have picked up their crafts from hobbies. Chuck Reffitt started his hobby two years ago. “Stumbled into it when I retired,” said Reffitt, Chuck’s Pens owner. He found it as a creative and fun way to spend his time and began making pens and pepper grinders. Kent Sanders found it as a way to pass time at his job. Sanders mines for gold in the Bering Sea and finds beach glass in his down time. He started Au Sum Jewelry to use the beach glass for jewelry. He also works with silver and will do custom work for clients. The market is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 7-8. Santa will also be around at certain times during Friday and Saturday. It will also be open the next two weekends. A few of the vendors will be changing over the next couple weeks, so people are encouraged to come back and see the new products.

If fundraising goes as expected, stray animals caught on Whidbey Island could have a new home. Officials with the Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation are raising money and constructing a new campus. Nearly $2 million has been raised and leaders are looking to collect another $1.8 million to pay for construction of a new 8,700-squarefoot-building on 9.8 acres of land located across the street from the current shelter near Coupeville. WAIF’s current home is only 2,200 square feet in size, lacks potable water and is located on a former landfill that vents methane. “It’s a pretty minimal space,” said Bob Rupp, WAIF board president who is also helping manage the project. “We’re grateful the county has let us use the building for as long as we have.” He added the countyowned building was never designed to be a shelter and it’s a challenge for staff to meet health standards. Officials announced the public portion of the fundraising campaign in August. The public portion of the campaign features a “Tag the Wall” medallion. Donors pay

Shelly Burton, animal care technician at the shelter, holds an affectionate kitty while cleaning out the stalls in the facility located near Coupeville. $50 for a custom engraved dog or cat medallion, which will be placed on a wall that will be located in the new shelter. In the months since the public announcement, approximately $150,000 has been raised. Rupp said a “friendly competition” is underway to see whether more dog lovers or cat lovers purchase a medallion. Rupp described WAIF as a minimal kill shelter, where dogs and cats, which are either too sick or too incorrigible, are euthanized. He added that approximately 60 percent of the dogs and cats are eventually returned to their owners. In 2012, 320 dogs and 173
cats came through the WAIF shelter near Coupeville. For the dogs, 141 were adopted, 132 were returned to their owners, four were transferred to other shelters and 14 were put to sleep. For cats, 123 were adopted and 14 were put to sleep while the others remain in WAIF custody, according to information provided by the organization. The new shelter would feature more room to house animals. Plus, the nearly 10-acre property would provide space for the animals to exercise. Expanding the facility would also allow the nonprofit organization to expand services such as the spay-andneuter program.

IN OUR OPINION
Big Brothers Big Sisters is making a difference for kids Members of the Whidbey Island community will gather Friday in the spirit of the holidays and for a very worthwhile cause. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County is holding its annual Festival of Trees Auction and Gala. It is the nonprofit organization’s largest fundraiser of the year. Every year, the auction features an assortment of beautifully decorated trees available for purchase at auction. A great deal of planning and work goes into the event, including tree decorating. Tree decorators sometimes begin planning a year in advance to take advantage of post-holiday decoration sales. Each tree is sponsored by donation with all proceeds from the auction going to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Other donated items are auctioned off each year, including jewelry and trips. Last year, even a dog went up for bid. Nearly $100,000 was raised during last year’s Festival of Trees auction, approximately 50 percent of the Island County chapter’s annual operating budget. The organization is one of many located across the United States and in countries across the world. Carefully screened adults are paired with children who may not have the most stable home life or, for that matter, any home life. Compared to youths not involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters, the national organization said researchers found that after 18 months of spending time with their siblings, the Little Brothers and Little Sisters were 46 percent less likely to begin using illegal drugs; 27 percent less likely to begin using alcohol; 52 percent less likely to skip school; 37 percent less likely to skip a class and 33 percent less likely to hit someone. The Island County Chapter was founded 15 years ago and started making matches in February 1999. Matches are a combined effort between the community and schools. Island County’s chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters averages about 250 matches each year. While everyone may not be able to attend an event such as Festival of Trees, there are other ways to contribute to this worthwhile program.

Letters to the editor Waste
How many workers need to stand around? Editor, I am wondering where Island County gets the enormous funding to pay the salaries of the 20 or so people and the line of county vehicles parked along Reservation Road to stand around and watch an excavator burst a new drainage pipe under the road? In my 30 years of supervising construction projects I never saw this many people gawking and taking photos of a couple guys doing their job. My initial thought was that this was a huge design team working on plans for some much-needed guard rails, then I realized what was really happening. Utter waste! Most of the citizens who pay the higher tax rate to live on the island expect that our county officials would be a little more frugal with our hardearned tax dollars than the waste that I witnessed the last two days along the same area of Reservation Road. Next time the county has a need for this or any other type of construction service, how about sending out an RFP to the local contractors to get
the best-qualified bid and contract with them. That should reduce the amount of unnecessary county employees to one person, a county inspector, and save the taxpayers some major dough. Fact: a professional contractor will perform tasks with a higher-quality standard, complete the project in less time, leave the roads clean because this is what they do each and every day, not occasionally, and they actively use best management practices plus the county will have a firm fixed price without any overtime or extra costs that county officials may have missed while doing this work in house. Also, bring the road sweeper out because you have a muddy mess in the road you failed to clean up to prevent incurring additional costs associated with DOE fines for not following state ecology guidelines.

Act with the construction of its “supposedly planned” wall of jersey barriers tied together with heavy steel cable. One federal agency cannot disregard the policies of another federal agency – not even Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. If the wall really was planned for a long time as part of maintenance, then there would have been time to follow these federal policies. I urge property owners and taxpayers of Whidbey Island to request that the Navy comply with federal law regarding its communication with another federal entity and remove the cement block eyesore from the southern scenic entrance into the Reserve and Central Whidbey. Send an email to michael.nortier@ navy.mil, commander NAS Whidbey, and request removal of the cement wall. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties and afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment. The Navy is not above the law. Maryon Attwood Coupeville

Preserve affordable health insurance in Washington state guest column
By Don brunell
Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler made national news when he quickly rejected President Obama’s call for insurers to extend individual health insurance policies which were cancelled because of the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, also referred to as Obamacare. While five million insurance policies have been cancelled to date, the Obama administration estimates that as many as 18 million of these policies will be cancelled because of the ACA. Here in Washington state, some 290,000 people have already received cancellation notices. While Kreidler and Obamacare supporters say the coverage was substandard anyway, those policies were all accepted by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner. In the wake of his announcement, Kreidler sought to reassure consumers, saying that the cancelled individual poli-
cies are just a small part of the market and suggesting that most people aren’t affected because they’re insured through their employer. Many others have an opposite view. In fact, in 2010, the Obama administration estimated that half of all employerbased policies would be illegal under the ACA. And just a few weeks ago, the Justice Department reiterated in federal court documents that a majority of employerbased health plans are expected to be cancelled because of the ACA. How many people could that affect? The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 156 million Americans — more than half the population — are covered by employer-sponsored insurance. In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Kreidler said he rejected the president’s call to extend cancelled policies because it could cause confusion and destabilize the state insurance market. But months ago, the commissioner stopped insurers in our state from renewing their employer-based policies early — before they expired — even though nothing in state or federal law prohibits it. The early renewals would have caused no market confusion or destabilization, yet they were stopped.
The commissioner has also repeatedly moved against a popular category of comprehensive and affordable employer-based health plans enjoyed by nearly 500,000 people in Washington who depend on their small business jobs for health insurance. They’re called Association Health Plans, or AHPs. Association Health Plans were approved under Gov. Mike Lowry in 1995 as a way to help small employers provide high quality, more affordable health coverage for their workers. A strong majority of Democrat and Republican lawmakers voted for the bill. In 2007, Kreidler tried to change the rules on AHPs, even though he had no authority under state law to do so. This would have restricted the ability of small employers to purchase coverage through Association Health Plans — but he didn’t ask the Legislature for the authority to make those changes. A Spokane court found that, in acting unilaterally, Kreidler had disregarded the separation of powers doctrine, violating both state law and the state constitution. The court ruling allowed small employers to continue purchasing more affordable, comprehensive coverage for their workers and families. As a result, Washington’s small employ-
ers have had access to some of the best coverage and rates in the nation. Kreidler is again trying to strip small employers of their access to Association Health Plans — this time suggesting that AHPs don’t comply with Obamacare. But state law makes it clear that AHPs can continue, even under federal programs like Obamacare. And, of course, President Obama made it clear that states could allow you to keep your plan if you like it. Needless to say, this is causing uncertainty and confusion in Washington’s private health insurance market — the very thing Kreidler says he wants to avoid. Kreidler says he’s doing everything he can to implement the federal Affordable Care Act. But, as Washington’s Insurance Commissioner, his first duty is to comply with state law — and that means defending and preserving Association Health Plans for the half million people who depend on them. n Don Brunell is president of the Association of Washington Business. The association is Washington state’s oldest and largest statewide business association, and includes more than 8,100 members.
more Letters to the editor EIS
Confident Navy will hear all concerns The following is an open letter written by Congressman Rick Larsen to Navy Admiral William “Bill” Gortney, commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command: Dear Admiral Gortney, I am pleased that Fleet Forces Command has chosen to go forward with a full Environmental Impact Statement for EA-18G operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and the Outlying Field, Coupeville. I have long been committed to ensuring that NAS Whidbey Island remains one of the preeminent military installations used by our armed forces, while also ensuring that those who live near the base are not negatively impacted by base operations, a commitment I know I share with the Navy. The transition from the EA-6B Prowler fleet to the EA-18G Growlers, and the decision to base all expeditionary squadrons of Growlers at NAS Whidbey, may change the operational tempo at the base and training fields with a possible impact on the surrounding community. With a change in operations and with the number of proposed aircraft increasing since the 2005 and 2012 environmental assessments, this EIS is necessary to ensure all impacts to the base and community are considered. This week brings the public scoping meetings for the EIS, and with
them the opportunity for the community to present the Navy with its thoughts on operations at NAS Whidbey. I know that, based on years of positive relations between the community, NAS Whidbey and the Navy, all concerns will be considered and respected. Thank you for your continued service to our nation and I look forward to working with you in the future to ensure that NAS Whidbeyremains the best military air station throughout the Navy. Sincerely, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen Second District
Attend a meeting in your community Editor, During this season, a time of renewal, when we all look toward a new year, we would like to take a moment to look back in time in anticipation of the future. The United States of America, the first democracy in the modern world. By the Civil War there were only six democratic countries. Now with 130-plus democracies worldwide, we remain the template by which others define and grow. To hold this example true to its roots we have our moral responsibility as citizens to voice our rights to be heard. We have a duty to make sure our government hears and upholds the laws and rights of the citizens it serves. With this in mind we urge you to attend meetings in your community
concerning the coming increases in military aircraft activity over North and Central Whidbey as well as Anacortes, La Conner, the San Juan Islands and Port Townsend. Our concerns are noise, pollution and safety. We have an obligation as taxpaying citizens to ask the hard questions. It is up to us to protect our children, families, environment, our islands, our future — this uniquely beautiful place we call home. Please get involved. This may be your last chance to bring about a new dialogue and save a quality of life we may have taken for granted for too long. We hope your holiday season brings peace and goodwill to all. Becky Spraitzar, Garrett Newkirk and Shannon Stone Representatives, Concerned Island Citizens
Disclosure form
Home buyers need more information Editor, Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard and the Island County commissioners know there is a growing realization that the county and Navy have a problem — what to do about the jet noise disclosure statement. The current statement is obviously written to provide homebuyers with the least possible information so they aren’t discouraged from buying. Its intent — to sustain business and Navy interests while heavily
discounting impacts on homebuyers — can no longer be justified or sustained. Island County must act now to provide real information about the OLF Coupeville impacts and, in so doing, protect itself from further actionable misrepresentation. Remembering that past reprehensible and transparent back room processes have produced this problem, I recommend the political and business leaders and Navy reps not be re-charged with the disclosure revision. Rather, this is a citizen-homeowner issue and concern, so their input is paramount to creating a contemporary, credible, and real disclosure. That in mind, I suggest that the commissioners solicit names and, from those, appoint a cross-sectional citizens advisory committee charged with preparing and detailing a list of the impacts that should be revealed and a draft disclosure for the county to massage and promulgate into law. While this suggestion may not be particularly welcome, it is likely the best in the spectrum of bad options. Even heads-in-the-ground ostriches need to occasionally come up for a breath of fresh air and it seems that time is now theirs. Of course there is a better option. The commissioners could get with the movement to move the Growlers to California and thereby preserve Whidbey Island Naval Air Station well into the future, neuter the growing likelihood of legal action against the county, preserve and enhance the economy of Island County, and eliminate the moral
and ethical conflicts that must keep them awake trying to rationalize. And while at that, they could get another win — turn the OLF into a historic monument open for varied public uses and without the cement block enshrinements, which the Navy could likely give away for bulkheading.

with three starters graduating, this season will be “somewhat of a rebuilding year.” “We will play small but plan to try and get up and down a little bit more than we typically do,” he said. “Our motto this year is ‘Unity in Adversity,’” Washington said. “We have to remember that during times of struggles we must stay unified.” Brett McLeod, who had a successful run as the Oak Harbor girls varsity coach, returns to basketball after several years off as Washington’s assistant. “I am extremely happy and lucky to have him come aboard,” Washington said.

Winter prep preview: Oak Harbor, Coupeville athletes shoot for success in 2013-14 season By JIM WALLER Sports editor
The Oak Harbor High School 2013-14 boys and girls basketball teams are built around similar players, marksmen Drew Washington and Annie Leete. Both seniors are threeyear letter winners, secondteam all-Wesco selections and deadly long-range shooters with itchy trigger fingers zeroing in on leading their teams to the postseason. The Wildcat wrestling and swim teams return enough talent and depth to nail their targets, matching last year’s Wesco 3A North championships. In Coupeville, the boys and
girls basketball teams will rely on balanced scoring and athleticism to hit their bullseye, a jump up the Cascade Conference standings.
OHHS Girls B-ball Wildcats will fire often from arc The Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team won’t be shy about shooting, according to first-year coach Jon Atkins. “We have a lot of great shooters,” Atkins said. “We hope to lead the league in three-pointers made.” At the front of the three-

point parade will be threeyear starter Leete, one of Wesco’s top players, and an experienced point guard, senior Natalie Fiallos, who can get her the ball. “We are also a very fast team and will use that to our advantage to create havoc on defense and pushing the ball on offense,” Atkins said. Seven letter winners return, but Atkins sees lack of experience as one of his team’s weaknesses. “We just need to play more basketball,” he said. “We don’t have a ton of experience at the varsity level; it will take some time to adjust to the speed of the game at that level for some of the girls.” Along with 5-7 Leete and 4-10 Fiallos, letter winners include 5-9 senior post Liz Lym, 5-10 junior post Hailey Lundstrom, 5-6 sophomore guard Jinai Guzman, 5-8 sophomore guard Deja Bunch and 5-8 sophomore guard AnnaBelle Whitefoot. Others who should contribute, according to Atkins, are four juniors: 5-9 post Brook Peplinski, 5-8 guard Kenna Prosch, 5-2 guard Jamie Estrella and 5-10 post Sierra Southwick. Atkins said he expects his players to “learn how to play tough all the time” and “continue to grow and learn how to play and practice at a championship level.” The Wesco North is loaded this year, Atkins said. Last year’s division champion Stanwood and district champion Everett return a bundle of talented players, and both of the Marysville schools return most of their starters. Oak Harbor, 3-11 and 6-14 last winter, started the season on the road at Anacortes last night; results were not available at press time. The Wildcats host Mount Baker at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6.

Drew Washington (3) is Oak Harbor’s top returning scorer. ball season for Oak Harbor High School is whether the Wildcats can continue the success of last winter. Oak Harbor qualified for its third consecutive district tournament and posted its best record (7-6, good for second in the Wesco 3A North, 13-11 overall) in years. The Wildcats also came within one game of qualifying for the state tournament, winning twice at district and finishing fourth. To continue the momentum, Oak Harbor coach Mike Washington will look to four lettermen: Drew Washington, a 6-3 senior guard; Gabe Groenig, a 6-2 senior wing; Dyllan Harris, a 6-1 sophomore guard; and Zach Jones, a 6-0 junior guard. Washington and Groenig were full-time starters last year. The Wildcats received a lift when Zach Gibbs, a 6-1 senior wing, transferred back to Oak Harbor. Gibbs, however, may not be eligible for the first few games, coach
Washington said. Washington called Gibbs, who lettered for Oak Harbor as a sophomore, “very athletic and a great defender.” Another newcomer who should contribute is 5-8 sophomore guard Elijah Smith, who “has some skills and is a solid defender,” according to Washington. The key to the Wildcat attack is Drew Washington, the coach’s son, who recently committed to play for the Air Force Academy in the future. Drew Washington averaged 13.6 points per game in 2012-13. A long-range threat, Washington sank 57 threepointers and finished second on the team with 20 assists. Groenig averaged 4.5 points per game and pulled down 99 rebounds. Harris, who saw his minutes increase as the his freshman season progressed, averaged 5.45 points per game. Coach Washington said Harris will take over the point guard spot. Coach Washington said,
A strong competitive spirit and work ethic should help the Coupeville High School girls basketball team challenge for a spot in the first division in the Cascade Conference this season, according to coach David King. Coupeville was 6-16 last winter after winning only six games the previous two years combined and looks to post its first winning record since going 12-11 in 2009-10. The Wolves lost six players through graduation but return five letter winners with plenty of experience: 5-5 senior wings Amanda Fabrizi and Breeanna Messner, 5-5 junior wing Madeline Strasburg, 5-8 junior post Hailey Hammer and 5-11 sophomore post Makana Stone. A trio of juniors, King said, are the key newcomers: 5-7 wing/post Kacie Kiel, 5-9 wing/post Julia Myers and 5-8 post Wynter Thorne. The future looks bright, King said, with six incoming freshman who “work hard and have good basketball instincts.” King likes the makeup of his players: “They are willing to put in extra time and effort to compete and win. This was evident with the time put into See preview, A10

preview CONTINUED FROM A9 summer open gym, camp, fall ball and open gyms before basketball season. “We have speed throughout and athletic players. Each one is willing to put the team first.” “Our basketball IQ has improved and we are making smarter decisions on the court,” he added. Depth could be an issue, King said, noting the Wolves will have a short bench to start the season, not ideal for a tough schedule that begins with three games in five days. “We have challenged some JV players to step up and show why they should be splitting time on JV and varsity.” Another uncertainty is shooting, which the Wolves struggled with last season. It should be improved, King said, because of “the work this group has put in.” Spreading the floor and having patience should help improve the offense, as well, according to King. King expects his team to improve as the season progresses and to be consistent and competitive for “the full 32 minutes.” “We are building on what we started last year, commitment and hard work,” King said. “Athletically we are improved and more skilled throughout. “This team really has come

together and is playing well on both ends of the court. Our communication is outstanding. This team will be a fun one to watch as the season progresses. I’m expecting good things all year.” Those good things start with two home games: Cedar Park Christian at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, and Meridian at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7.

Experience to help Wolves get wins The Coupeville High School boys basketball team has more experience and greater depth than the past few seasons. The question is, will that result in more wins? The Wolves went winless in 2012 and picked up only one win last winter, but Coupeville should add more marks to the the victory column this season, according to coach Anthony Smith. “In the past we came to play,” Smith said. “This year we will be more competitive. If the other teams look the wrong way, we will get them.” “The kids will play hard. We just need to show up every night to play,” he added. In order to be successful, the Wolves will need to make good decisions, which will cut down on turnovers, and play “organized chaos,” which should result in opponents’ turnovers and easy transition shots for the Wolves, Smith said.

The Vester brothers, Jeremy, top, and Jahleel, are among a talented group of returning wrestlers. Coupeville made progress in the off season and at camp, Smith said. Coupeville returns five lettermen: posts Nick Streubel and Carson Risner (who is currently out with an injury), forward Anthony Bergeron, guard/for ward Aaron Trumbull and guard Morgan Payne. Key newcomers are guard/forwards Joel Walstad and Wiley Hesselgrave and transfer forward Matt Shank. The Wolves don’t have great size -- Streubel is 6-4, Bergeron 6-3 and Shank 6-2 -- but the team jumps well, Smith said. Bergeron, who was new to organized basketball last winter, “has made great strides,” Smith said. The Wolves will be hurt by the loss of Ben Etzell, last year’s leading scorer, and Aaron Curtin, a two-year starter, who chose not to turn out. Coupeville will get a “huge lift,” Smith said, when Gavin O’Keefe returns from a foot injury. O’Keefe, who started as a sophomore, broke his foot in the second game last season and then again this summer. He should be back after the first of the year, Smith said, and will give the Wolves a proven hall handler and scorer. Until O’Keefe returns, the point position will be handled by committee, Smith said. Another boost for the team, according to Smith, is the return of Coupeville graduate Jason Bagby to help coach after two years of play-
ing college basketball. Bagby is working with the posts to improve the Wolves’ inside game. Smith sees King’s and Archbishop Murphy as the teams to beat in the fight for the Cascade Conference crown. He added, “South Whidbey is always respectable.” Coupeville starts its season at Blaine at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7. Four straight home games follow, and the first is the league opener with Cedarcrest at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10.
OHHS Wrestling Talented team looks to repeat With five state qualifiers returning and a deep senior class, it is not unreasonable to think the Oak Harbor High School boys wrestling team can equal its lofty performance of last winter. The Wildcats placed 10th in the state 3A tournament after going 15-2 during the regular season and winning the Wesco North title. Topping the talent list is senior captain Jahleel Vester (138/145 pounds), a threetime state qualifier who placed eighth twice. Also returning with state experience are Christian Bertram (113), Jeremy Vester (132/138), Mark Johnston (145/152) and Jackson Constant (285). Seven other returning let-
ter winners add to the talent pool: Ray Quinday (195), who qualified for the regional; captain Nate Stanford (152/160), who missed much of last year with an injury; Garrett Stahl (106); Sebastian Ceaser (145/152); Jacob Dugin (195); Kenny King (220) and Kekai Tarrant (152/160). Bertram, Constant and the Vester brothers placed second at the regional meet in 2013, and Johnston was fourth. Tarrant and Dugin placed in the top six at the subregional. Jeremy Vester was a firstteam all-Wesco selection. Key newcomers, according to first-year coach Peter Esvelt, are Gage Eccleston (170), Stephen Dixon (160), Matt Zafra (182), Mike Laningham (182/190) and Blaine Coleman (220). The girls team returns four letter winners: captain Becca Holloman, Tricia Desquitado, Olivia Hunt and Alexia Mobley. Hunt finished fifth and Desquitado sixth in the subregional last winter. Key newcomers are Meredith Bain, Amber Cramsey-Behnke and Caitlin Woodworth. Cramsey-Behnke, a transfer, qualified for state last year for Nooksack Valley. Oak Harbor’s strengths, Esvelt said, are the “great group of senior leaders” and depth. “(The seniors) have experience in regionals and state and a strong sense of team,” Esvelt said.
“We have big numbers (73 at the end of week one), with a ton of ninth graders to build on in the future,” he added. One of the problems, according to Esvelt, is finding enough room for his large team. The current mat room is too small, so practice spills over to the cafeteria. The club needs as much mat time as possible to “get the new wrestlers up to speed,” Esvelt said. Esvelt’s expectations include seeing “young men and women challenge themselves and become better and stronger people for it.” He also expects his boys team to compete for the league, subregional and regional titles and be competitive at the state tournament. None will be easy, Esvelt pointed out, because Marysville-Pilchuck and Stanwood have “a lot of tough returners” and Everett and Marysville Getchell are competitive each year. A rugged schedule won’t help matters as the Wildcats are on the road for the first 12 competitions. They won’t host a match until the final two, Jan. 28 and 30. They open the season at Arlington at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10. An intrasquad scrimmage is set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5; admission is free.
OHHS Swimming Depth to carry ‘Cats this year The Oak Harbor High School swim team finished with a 9-1 record in 201213, and coach Alex Thierry doesn’t see why the Wildcats can’t meet that mark again this winter. Behind three returning state qualifiers and excellent depth with a 40-man team, the Wildcats should continue as one of the Western Conference’s top 3A teams. Caley Powers, a veteran of two state meets, leads a list of 10 returning lettermen. Others include Cedric Cabigting and Toren Wood, relay members who qualified for state last season, and Joe Gorman, Erik Jensen, Clayton Livermore, Jake Nelson, Raymond Paraiso and Derek Volk. Powers was first-team allWesco three relays; Wood earned first-team honors with the medley relay team; and Gorman was first team in the 500 freestyle. Key newcomers, according to Thierry, are Dakota Powers, a state qualifier in 2012 who rejoins the team See preview, A12

Caley Powers swam the 100 butterfly at the state championships last year and joined Cabigting on the seventh-place 200 medley relay team. “Our team’s strength right now is numbers,” Thierry said. “We have some additional space in practice so I am trying to keep as many as I can by rearranging how some of the practices will function after the Thanksgiving break.” Thierry said he is trying to fill spots left by graduates, but doesn’t “see it being a problem because these guys want to work hard and push each other.” “It will be a successful season if our guys keep pushing each other at practice while building a good bonding connection,” he added. To be the best in the North, Thierry said, his club will need to “go out and beat Lake Stevens.” He added, “It would be great to put up more points against Kamiak.” “We really just need to stay healthy and injury free for the entirety of the season,” Thierry said. “I am anxious to see who steps up. Even in this first week of practice, these guys are working really hard.” Oak Harbor begins the season at 6 p.m. at home Wednesday, Dec. 11, with Snohomish and Glacier Peak.

If the Wildcats’ competitive squad hopes to match last year’s second place finish in the state tournament, it will have to accomplish it with a bevy of new parts. Only two letter winners return and Oak Harbor is being directed by a new coach, Crista Carlson. The veterans are juniors Juliet Aspery and Hailey Williamson. Oak Harbor missed out on the state title last year by just two points. The runnerup finish was the fourth in six years for the Wildcats. Aspery and Williamson will receive help from key newcomers Sydney Harrington, Jessica Aguilar, Zoe White, Candis Aborqui and Shaniya Murphy, according to Carlson. Though inexperienced, the team is “enthusiastic” and full of “fast learners,” “great dancers” and “strong girls,” Carlson said. Most of the sideline team is also new this season, Carlson said. Her expectations are “to build a great new team for competition and to support teams for sideline.” The season will be a success, Carlson said, “If we are able to help foster school spirit at Oak Harbor High School and achieve our own physical goals as well.” The competition season
“LEAD Strong” is the motto of this winter’s Coupeville High School cheer squad, tying into the traditional family feeling the team has built over the years. “We call it a sisterhood that takes care of one another, and when anyone is feeling down, we lift them back up with positive words of encouragement,” said coach Cheridan Eck. “LEAD,” Eck said, stands for “Love Everyone Always, Duh.” The team includes only two seniors and three returning members (junior Destiny Bitting and sophomores Sylvia Hurlburt and Jovanah Foote). The squad has 12 newcomers, including eight freshmen, with senior Emilie Crichton returning after taking last basketball season off. Crichton and Bitting will serve as captains. Although the team is young and inexperienced, it has quickly “bonded and worked hard to learn new routines, cheers and stunts,” Eck said. Her expectation for her team, she said, is “to keep ever y fan in the crowd energized for our teams with our positive, loving attitudes.”

or Re McClung, watching toys pile up in her garage is a joy to see. In a way, it’s therapy. McClung said she is pleased to still be involved with the Toys for Tots donations program on Whidbey Island this holiday season. She knows what the sight of those toys would have meant to her daughter Megan McClung, a former U.S. Marine killed in Iraq in 2006. And she knows what they would have meant to her husband Michael McClung, also a former Marine who died of natural causes in July. Both had giving hearts and held soft spots for children.

I just thought I should move forward with this.” Toys for Tots is keeping McClung busy overseeing the collection and distribution of the toys, while Gabelein focuses on the finances and bookkeeping. McClung, who lives in Coupeville, and Gabelein, from Langley, both take satisfaction in bringing joy to children from families who are in need.

Re McClung, co-chair of Whidbey Island’s Toys for Tots program, and her grandchildren Nolan, 4, and Gabrielle, 6, visit her Coupeville garage where she stores toys that will be delivered to organizations that handle distribution to families. The Oak Harbor Walmart is holding the inaugural “Fill the Truck” campaign over the next two weekends. Toys collected end up going to five different agencies for distribution, including Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor’ “Tree of Hope” and Holiday House on South Whidbey. Toys also come from the Toys for Tots national foundation in Washington, D.C. “We deliver the toys to them,” McClung said of the agencies. “They give us the number of children they’re serving, their genders and ages so we can match the toys.” Navy Federal Credit Union also is raising money to purchase bicycles through Walmart for Toys for Tots. To also help fill children’s wish lists, members of the local Marine Corps League will be at the ferry terminal in Clinton Dec. 7-8 to accept cash donations to purchase toys.

Hundreds help ring in holidays By SARA HANSEN Staff Reporter
Even with dark gray clouds overhead, fate refused to rain on the holiday happenings Saturday. Community members came together in downtown Oak Harbor for the annual Tree Lighting and Santa’s Arrival Nov. 30. Marisa LaRue traveled from Freeland with her granddaughter to do some shopping and watch the lighting. “I’m glad it’s not raining,” she said. As the hour drew closer, a growing number of people began gathering around the tree in anticipation. Then, the sound of a fire truck could be heard in the distance. “Oh, I hear something,” said Margaret Livermore, Downtown Merchants Association president. “You might want to keep an eye down the street — it could be Santa.” Oak Harbor Fire Department escorted Santa Claus down Pioneer Way to light the tree. Santa said his

reindeer needed to rest for the big day and that it was nice for the department to give him a lift. After Santa counted down the tree lighting, caroling began with “Jingle Bells.” But the children were eager to get to the next part of the Photo by Sara Hansen/Whidbey News-Times evening — talking with Santa. Parents took many photos of their children with Santa on Saturday. Santa made his way to his chair and children followed said she didn’t want a toy this that fear. him all the way. The line year.

Claim CONTINUED FROM A1 delay, lost opportunity costs, legal costs, additional expenses from winter construction and engineering fees. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley defended city staff, say-
ing the document trail clearly shows that the company was the cause of the delay. In an Oct. 31 letter that city Development Director Steve Powers wrote to Dry Lake Land Stewardship, he puts the blame squarely on the developers and accuses them of attempting “to pressure the City to prematurely issue a ‘Notice of Decision’

and building permits.” Powers points to “a cloud on title” and errors in the developers’ documents. He also said in the letter that documents “clearly demonstrate that any delays and difficulties associated with your development were not a function of the City code or development process, but rather, the illegal segregation and sale of a portion of the Manni Lot … and the drafting of documents which were riddled with mistakes.” Island Drug, a longtime Oak Harbor business, opened in the new building this past spring. Dudley said the claim for damages was sent to the city’s insurance provider. Anderson said he will wait to see the city’s response before deciding whether to follow up the claim with a lawsuit.
its predecessor. Navy representatives said Monday that the noise from the two aircraft is similar, but may seem louder due to differing frequency levels. Critics also say the Navy exceeded the number of operations it estimated would be needed at OLF. Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer at NAS Whidbey, conceded Monday the Navy did exceed its projections during 2011 and 2012. According to Environmental Assessments completed in 2005 and 2012, the Navy anticipated flying about 6,120 operations at OLF and 18,282 at Ault Field. Because of mission requirements, however, the Navy performed 9,378 at OLF Coupeville in 2011, and 9,668 in 2012, Nortier said. Nortier said NAS Whidbey suspended operations at the outlying field in May 2013 because it again exceeded the estimate with 6,972 operations completed. Moving forward, it is the Navy’s intention to stay within the 6,120 operations annually at OLF until the current environmental study is completed in 2016, Nortier said. While the Navy met some of its Growler training needs at other locations, “that’s not sustainable for the long term,” said Rick Meyer with U.S. Fleet Forces Aviation Shore Readiness. Growler pilots are only trained at El Centro if they happened to be deployed there, he said. It is unlikely that a complete closure of OLF Coupeville will be considered in the environmental study, Meyer said. COER members say they are unconvinced that the Navy will keep operations to the estimated 6,120 and will not be satisfied until land practices are moved elsewhere. “These people are not trustworthy,” Monson said of the Navy. “Why should we believe them? During this period they have proven we don’t need OLF. If they say otherwise, it’s hogwash.” Monson said there was a time when his group would have accepted the 6,120 operations, but that the Navy has already had “three strikes.” “If they had stuck with their 2005 projections, this stick would not have been raised,” Monson said. The new Growler study aims to evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing EA-18G Growler airfield operations at NAS Whidbey’s Ault Field and OLF Coupeville, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary electronic attack squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the fleet replacement squadron. Lisa Padgett, U.S. Fleet Forces Command project manager for the study, said Growler study is “very early in the process” and that the public will have opportunity to give input now, and again in 2015 when the scoping period nears its conclusion. The purpose of these meetings is for the Navy to listen to the community, she said, adding all feedback will be compiled into the 2015 document for review. “This document will provide that comprehensive look at all the comments and impacts.” The scoping process will be used to identify community concerns and local issues to be addressed in the EIS. As part of the public involvement during scoping the Navy will host three open house information sessions. n Scoping comments will be accepted at the public meetings. Comments may also be mailed to EA-18G EIS Project Manager (Code EV21/SS), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508 or submitted via the project website at www.whidbeyeis.com. Comments will be accepted until Jan. 3.
