OHPD captain hanging it up By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The parade lasted more than an hour with 82 entries traveling along Bayshore Drive, City Beach Street and on to Pioneer Way. Dignitaries such as Scott Dudley, Oak Harbor’s mayor, and Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, walked the stretch behind the street sweepers and a town crier who’ve long been part of the celebration of the city’s Dutch heritage.
It was the sun that finally did it. Capt. Tim Sterkel could have ended his career with the Oak Harbor Police Department at a nice, round 40 years, but he said the lure of sunny days and the prospect of trading an office chair for a saddle on a horse was too much for STERKEL: him.

He leaves with 39 years of institutional knowledge that he gained under seven chiefs of police. Rising through the ranks — he started as a reserve officer — Sterkel helped put away murderers and many other bad guys, but he said he’s most proud of his work investigating drug crimes. “If I made a difference, I bet it was during my years as the drug sergeant,” he said. “I can walk away saying, ‘I think we did pretty good.’” A lot of change is coming to the

Dutch treat By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
The joy of participating in the Holland Happening grand parade was clear from the smile on Sophia Bahner’s face. Bahner, 5, was one of 30 members with Woodward’s Taekwondo Academy in Oak Harbor demonstrating their moves along streets lined with parade watchers in downtown Oak Harbor Saturday.
It was time for crescent kicks and hammer fists. “She was super excited to be able to do some of her kicks in front of the mayor,” said her mother, April Banner. The 45th Holland Happening was highlighted by sunshine during the parade and a firstday crowd estimated at 3,000 people. Wind gusts kept down Sunday’s attendance and played havoc with vendors’ tents.
Annual celebration draws thousands to Oak Harbor
Districts will do county fire inspections By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Fire districts will now perform fire inspections for Island County, a service that was provided infrequently following staffing cuts in 2009. Last week, the county entered into an agreement with the county’s four fire districts allowing them to take over inspections. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who was in office during the 2009
staffing cutbacks, said restoring the county’s ability to perform regular fire inspections is a good step. “This is an opportunity for us to do two things,” Price Johnson said. “One, to connect the fire inspections with the first responders, which I think is a positive thing, and two, it addresses the needs of the Planning Department.” The Planning Department has a backlog of permitting and large-scale state-mandated projects.
Prior to the cutbacks, Island County building official Andy Griffin said, the county conducted more than 800 fire inspections each year. Now, Griffin said he alone performs about two per month, and only when they are required for licensure. In the past, the county took a more active approach in ensuring buildings and new construction were fire safe, he said. SEE COUNTY, A4
Race Week gets new owners By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The nationally recognized sailboat regatta held out of Oak Harbor each July will have new owners next year. Charley and Schelleen Rathkopf of Seattle announced last week that they are purchasing Whidbey Island Race Week from Gary Stuntz of Clear Ahead Marine Production after the event this summer.

Dragon boat race team places third at festival By JIM WALLER Sport editor
You might say Team Tsunami was a little late to the dragon-boat party. Dragon boat racing began in China 2,000 years ago, while the local crew made its debut in competitive racing Saturday, April 26, by placing third out of 12 teams at the ninth annual St. Martin’s University Dragon Boat Festival in Olympia. Actually, the North Puget Sound Dragon Boat Club, which includes members from Oak Harbor, Anacortes, La Conner, Greenbank and Coupeville, has been in existence for “seven or eight years,” according to spokeswoman Catie Harrison. In November of 2013, the club split into two boats, one competitive and one recreational. Sunday’s race was the first for the competitive team. As a recreational team in
the past, the local team took part in several competitions with little success, Harrison said. The St. Martin’s race featured 42 boats, 12 in Oak Harbor’s intermediate division. By dragon boat racing standards, that was a small turnout. The Alcan in Vancouver, B.C., for example, attracts more than 100 boats, Harrison said. The sport is popular in Canada and other parts of the world. Team Tsunami is coached by Jason and Drea Park and is based out of the Oak Harbor Marina. The team practices several times a week, including workouts at John Vanderzicht Pool during the winter months. Each boat has 16 to 20 rowers along with a caller in the front and a tiller/ steersperson. Most races are 500 meters; however, at St. Martin’s all were sprints, or 250 meters.
Team Tsunami qualified for the finals at St. Martin’s by recording the best second-place time in the semifinal heats. In the finals, it placed third, only .02 seconds out of second place. “This was the highest ever finish for the local dragon boat club in the competitive division races,” Harrison said. NPS Dragon Boat Team Tsunami is set to race in Kent and Seattle later this summer. Harrison said the club is “actively recruiting paddlers of all skill and fitness levels.” “If you enjoy being out on the water, looking for a fun way to stay active, a new cross-training regime or love to compete, come check us out,” Harrison said.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR THE FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF THE P-8A MULTI-MISSION MARITIME AIRCRAFT INTO THE U.S. NAVY FLEET In accordance with Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1500), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 United States Code 4321); and Department of the Navy (Navy) procedures for implementing NEPA (32 CFR Part 775), the Navy has completed a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the introduction of the P-8A Multi-Mission Maritime aircraft. The Final Supplemental EIS was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing facilities and functions to dual-site the P-8A at two established maritime patrol home bases. This document supplements the 2008 Final EIS with additional alternatives to provide facilities and functions associated with the proposed home basing action, changes to circumstances at the home base locations, and the latest P-8A project information. In November 2008, the Navy completed the Final EIS for the Introduction of the P-8A aircraft into the U.S. Navy Fleet, which evaluated the environmental impacts of home basing 12 P-8A fleet squadrons (72 aircraft) and one Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) (12 aircraft) at three established maritime patrol home bases. A notice of the Record of Decision was published in the Federal Register (FR) on January 2, 2009 (74 FR 100). Since this decision, the Navy determined that home basing P-8A squadrons at two locations could provide potential cost savings while still meeting current strategic operational objectives. The Navy released the Draft Supplemental EIS for public review and comment on September 20, 2013. In compliance with CEQ NEPA regulations, the Navy held open house meetings regarding the Draft Supplemental EIS on November 7, 2013, for NAS Jacksonville and on November 13, 2013, for NAS Whidbey Island. The public comment period for the Draft Supplemental EIS ended on December 2, 2013. The Final Supplemental EIS addresses comments received on the draft version of the Supplemental EIS and identifies Alternative 1 as the preferred alternative. Alternative 1 home bases 6 fleet squadrons plus the fleet replacement squadron at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL; 6 fleet squadrons in NAS Whidbey Island, WA; a permanent, rotating squadron detachment to Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, HI; and periodic squadron detachments to Naval Base Coronado. Alternative 1 presents the greatest re-use of existing facilities and optimizes manpower, simulators, and facilities at NAS Jacksonville and NAS Whidbey Island. The Notice of Availability was published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2014, beginning a 30-day public waiting period after which the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, or his representative, will sign the Record of Decision. Various federal, state, and local agencies, and other interested individuals and organizations have been notified that the Final Supplemental EIS is available. The Final Supplemental EIS is available for review at www.mmaseis.com and has been distributed for review at the following local libraries: NAS Jacksonville, Florida Webb-Wesconnett Regional Branch Jacksonville Public Library 6887 103rd Street Jacksonville, FL 32210 MCB Hawaii Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii Kaneohe Public Library 45-829 Kamehameha Highway Honolulu, HI 96744 NB Coronado, California Coronado Public Library 640 Orange Avenue Coronado, CA 92118

Tavern plans Oso fundraiser By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. A couple of Seattle-area comedians will be performing at a special event at Oak Harbor Tavern to raise money for an Oso landslide victim with local ties. The fundraiser starts 6 p.m. Saturday. Included in the fundraiser will be a silent auction with items from various restaurants, as well as gift cards for local businesses. Comedians James Alberding and Morgan Preston will attempt to tickle participants’ funny bones. There will music from the band Monkey Hill, from around 7 p.m. until about 11 p.m., according to Steve Despopoulos, organizer of the event. Photo by Michelle Beahm / Whidbey News-Times

Day encourages kids to ride bikes to school By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Oak Harbor drivers should be especially careful May 7 as student and adult bicyclists are taking to the streets en mass in celebration of National Bike to School Day. Whidbey Island Bicycle Club is partnering with a few Oak Harbor schools to participate in the special day of pedaling. The goal is to encourage kids to safely bike or walk to school. Members of the bicycling club will be out to greet bike-riding students from Crescent Harbor Elementary, Broad View Elementary, North Whidbey Middle School and Oak Harbor High School. They will be handing out buttons and flyers about bike safety to those students. National Bike to School Day started in May 2012, in conjunction with the League of American Bicyclists’ National Bike Month. Last year, more than 1,700 schools participated. This is the first year that the Whidbey Island Bicycle
Club and local schools have teamed up to participate in event. In previous years, the club hosted “Bike to Work Day” events, but found coordinating gathering locations for every participant to be challenging, according to Brad Nelson, a coordinator for the event. “We had a club meeting, and I mentioned that we could … focus this year on Bike to School Day and recognizing the kids that bike to school,” Nelson said. Because this is the first year that the club is holding these events, Nelson said that resources were limited, and members of the club will only be at the schools that are officially participating. However, he hopes that next year the event will grow. “It’s definitely with the goal of kind of doing the Bike to School Day district wide,” he said. This year is “like a pilot program,” said Nelson, and the club is using it to try and figure out the best ways to coordinate these events with the schools and getting
enough people to hand out buttons at the schools. “We actually have a large number of students who cycle to school everyday,” said Dwight Lundstrom, principal of Oak Harbor High School. Lundstrom, a member of the bicycle Club, said that many members of the club have children attending the high school, as well. Kate Schreck, principal for Crescent Harbor Elementary School, said that participation next year will depend on how well the event goes this year. “I’ve really been pleased with the support for our community partner,” Schreck said of Nelson. “He’s been really energetic about helping to promote kids riding bikes to school.” To support the event, Schreck said the school district has been providing students with bike safety tips. “We think it’s great because it’s a way to support our kids having healthy habits,” said Schreck. “So we’re thankful for the opportunity.”

Property bought without appraisal By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record
Whidbey General Hospital did not have an appraisal done before it spent $2 million on a property in Bayview valued at $618,000 six years ago, and it turns out they didn’t have to. State officials confirmed this week that while Washington law does require multiple appraisals to be performed before a public agency sells property, there is no such mandate when it comes to buying. “The answer is ‘No, there is no requirement,’” said Thomas Shapley, a spokesman for the Washington State Auditor’s Office. A recent public records request to the hospital district yielded no appraisal in the January 2008 land purchase and a subsequent assertion by hospital staff that one wasn’t legally necessary. When asked to verify the claim, Shapely seemed surprised such a law did not exist and had to check with agency attorneys to be sure. Also surprised was South Whidbey’s state lawmaker. In an interview Monday, Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, said she doesn’t know all the specifics of the hospital’s purchase, but vowed to look into the broader issue concerning the state’s apparent lack of safeguards when it comes to taxpayer-bought properties. “That is definitely something I’ll be taking back and doing some research on, because if that is indeed the case, it needs to be evaluated and a potential legislative remedy found,” Smith said. The property in question concerns a 4.5-acre parcel of undeveloped property in
Bayview. Purchased from Verlane Gabelein, it was meant to be the future building site of a new South Whidbey hospital clinic, replacing an existing facility in Clinton. Changes in the economy, affecting the districts ability to acquire revenue bonds, and laws surrounding critical access hospitals, have put those plans on hold and the commissioners are now considering selling the property. The circumstances surrounding the purchase are somewhat unclear. All the commissioners and leading hospital officials involved in the deal — then chief executive officer Scott Rhine and then chief financial officer Doug Bishop — are no longer with the district. Rhine and Bishop could not be reached for comment. Hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose, who was employed at the district in 2008 but was not involved in the decision-making process, said meeting minutes in 2007 indicate the hospital was initially looking at another property nearby when it stumbled across Gabelein’s land. There wasn’t a lot of land available in the area that fit the hospital’s needs, she said, and the decision was made to buy it. Rose speculated that the board believed this was a good buy at a time when land values were at their peak prior to the real estate crash later that year. “I think they were acting in a very good faith effort to improve service to South Whidbey, which is something we’ve wanted to do for years,” Rose said.

COUNTY CONTINUED FROM A1 “We haven’t been doing the regular inspections since 2008,” Griffin said. “We lost the ability to do that.” South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer said first responders are eager to use the inspection process to help keep buildings fire safe. “Countywide, they have such a small staff,” Palmer said. “The fire departments have greater resources.” Firefighters have seen an increase in fires as a result of the lack of inspections in recent years, Palmer said, but noted he has no hard data to prove it. Still, there is plenty of data supporting the overall efficacy of fire prevention measures, he said. “We’ve proven since the Great Chicago Fire that prevention works.” While most of the fire districts are staffed to accomo-
date the extra work, the South Whidbey district is year or two away from having a dedicated staff inspector. Meanwhile, they will try to provide the service as best they can, starting with additional inspection training for their public safety officer, he said. Palmer said he believes there is a definite advantage to having firefighters perform inspections. They are able to spot fire hazards. Also, it’s helpful when first responders are already familiar with the construction of a burning structure. According to the agreement, fire districts will conduct the inspections under the authority of Island County and receive a portion of fees collected. The county will retain final enforcement and authority. The agreement includes Island County Fire District No. 1 on Camano Island, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, South Whidbey Fire/EMS and Central Whidbey Island Fire and Rescue.
RACE CONTINUED FROM A1 ties, most notably a sailing camp for kids to coincide with the race, according to Charley and Schelleen Rathkopf. Schelleen said many sailboat racers in the region would like to participate, but it means being away from their families for five days. But with a sort of “summer camp” for young sailors, they could become an event for the entire family. “I do believe it can happen,” she said, “and it will definitely bring a new group of racers to the area.” Her husband agreed. “Making it more family friendly is going to help perpetuate the sport,” Charley said, noting that sailboat owners tend to be graying nowadays. Stuntz, an Oak Harbor
resident, said he decided to sell the event after seven years so he could have more time on the water — and race in Race Week again. He said running and promoting the weeklong sailboat-racing event is a year-round job. Plus, he wanted to make sure the regatta continued with owners who have a lot of positive energy. Charley and Schelleen Rathkopf fit that bill. They both said that their individual experiences and backgrounds make them ideal partners for owning a regatta. As members of the race committee, they have been running the race side of Whidbey Island Race Week for 11 years, Charley said. And they both have love sailing. Charley knows the “water side.” Growing up in Florida, he has been sailing and racing most of his life and has been run-

Charley said his wife’s background makes her the perfect person to handle the “shore side” of the event, which is everything besides the races themselves. As Stuntz notes, it takes a lot of promotion and marketing work to make it successful. Charley said he and his wife considered purchasing Race Week when it was up for sale seven years ago, but they had just started a family. Schelleen has been a stay-at-home mom, but now she has some time to dedicate to the endeavor as their two children are in school. Race Week is still one of the largest regattas in the Pacific Northwest and the largest weeklong sailboat racing event in the region. The number of boats has declined in recent years, as they have in regattas across the nation, Charley said. At one time, as many as 150 boats were involved, but the boat count has been in the 80s in the last couple of years. Their goal, the Rathkopfs say, is to return the regatta to its glory days.

AN UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE Oak Harbor grad excels in two sports
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
It is rare to become a national-class athlete in any sport. Molly O’Rourke, a 2001 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, accomplished the feat in two, judo and powerlifting. Her achievements are plentiful and impressive; here are some of the highlights: In judo: •Two-time national champion (2005, under 78kg; 2011, over 78kg). •Former No. 1 ranked judoka in both classes. •2004 Olympic team alternate. •2005 world team member. •2011 Pan American games team member. In powerlifting: •2013 International Powerlifting Federation Classic World Championships silver medalist. •California state record holder in squad (424 pounds), bench press (281 pounds), dead lift (485 pounds) and total (1,190 pounds). O’Rourke, who will turn 31 in a few weeks, began her judo journey just before entering high school in 1997. Five years later she moved to Berkeley, Calif. (where she
still lives), to train with David Matsumoto at the East Bay Judo Institute. By 2003, she was among the best in the United States. She earned a bronze in the senior nationals that year and added a silver the next. She also won a silver medal at an international meet in Montreal in 2003. Those accomplishments lifted her to the No. 1 ranking in her division and earned her an invitation to the 2004 Olympic tryouts, where she placed second. She added a national title in 2005 and competed for the United States in the world championships in Cairo. A knee injury sidelined O’Rourke for eight months, but she bounced back to get third in the national tournament and earned another Olympic trials bid in 2008. “After nationals, I decided to retire from judo competition and try other sports,” O’Rourke said. “I trained for and ran a marathon (4:19:38).” She began powerlifting for fun with a competitive lifter, Ben Autrey, who is now her boyfriend. “(He) just looked at me and thought I could be good,” she said. “Turns out, he was right.” Two years later (2010) she

began competing. In her first tournament she totaled 920 pounds, including a deadlift of 390, which qualified her for her first invitational, the Olympia in Las Vegas. O’Rourke has earned a spot at the Olympia each year since. Bigger and stronger, she decided to give judo another go. Now a super heavyweight, O’Rourke finished second at the senior nationals in 2010 and first in 2011, earning a spot on the Pan American Games team. She finished fifth at the games in Guadalajara, Mexico, one month after winning the Olympia deadlift competition (451 pounds). Once again, she decided to “retire” from judo and focus on qualifying for the 2013 IPF Classic Work Championships in Suzdal, Russia. She earned a spot on the team and excelled at the meet, winning gold in the bench press (270 pounds), silver in total weight (1,150 pounds) and deadlift (474 pounds) and bronze in squat (408 pounds). What’s next? “Breaking 1,200 pounds total and 500 pounds in deadlift will be a huge milestone for me when I get there,” O’Rourke said. “It will be my most proud and significant accomplishment to date.

Vaccinating kids an obligation we all must honor PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
At the elementary school I attended in Anacortes, my classmates and I would line up in the halls for immunizations. There were the shots for measles/ mumps/rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and sugar cubes for polio. We all held a copy of our vaccination records and, when our turn arrived, handed them to the school nurse for updating. It was the culture … you got your shots and you didn’t argue about it. Over the years, my mother talked about two children she knew growing up who were stricken with polio and died. That disease was particularly cruel. Polio can inflame the spinal cord’s grey matter, affect breathing and many who are stricken with the disease suffer permanent spinal paralysis. Vaccinations helped to virtually eradicate polio. I grew up believing that vaccinating our children is a societal obligation. There are some who say they are convinced that vaccinations lead to autism, a claim not supported by scientific studies, but perpetuated by such experts as talk show host and former Playboy model Jenny McCarthy. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC, the World Health Organization, and the Institute of Medicine all agree that there’s probably no relationship between autism and vaccines. As a parent, I understand being concerned about your child and wanting to protect them. As a parent, however, I believed any possible risks that might come from vaccinating my son were far outweighed by the protections it would afford him and others. It was our responsibility. That’s why it’s concerning to hear that diseases like whooping cough (pertussis) and measles — easily prevented with vaccinations — are popping up around us. Whooping cough is a respiratory infection characterized by severe coughing spells, which can sometimes end in a “whooping” sound when the person breathes in. Before a vaccine was available, the disease killed up to 10,000 people in the United States each year. Measles can be serious and potentially fatal for small children. By 2000, the measles vaccine practically eliminated the disease in the United States, but there is a resurgence of the disease, as more people have chosen not to vaccinate their children. As members of society, parents who don’t vaccinate their children need to rethink their position and meet the societal obligation to prevent the spread of potentially fatal diseases.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Research
Thanks
Summit dogs are very well trained
Drug Take Back was a tremendous success
Editor, I read the April 26 paper looking for some clarification of your front page article on April 23, but didn’t find any. I wish Janis Reid had done some research before the story about Summit Assistance Dogs was published. All she had to do was visit www. summitdogs.org to learn Summit Assist Dogs is a nonprofit founded in 2000 to provide highly trained mobility, hearing and therapy dogs for people with disabilities. It is not a business or “commercial or income producing” facility. They provide a wonderful service for people who really need the help. I would be proud to have them move into my neighborhood. Their dogs are better behaved than some people I know.
Editor, I am pleased to announce we just completed another successful “Drug Take Back Day” on Saturday, April 26. My sincere thanks go to the City of Oak Harbor and Town of Coupeville in making this an island-wide event. The Island County Sheriff’s Office, the Coupeville marshal and the Oak Harbor Police Department teamed up with the Drug Enforcement Agency to collect approximately 400 pounds of unused prescription medication and other drugs from local citizens throughout Whidbey Island. Thanks to this team effort, a lot of narcotics with highly addictive potential were taken out of medicine cabinets in our community and will sub-
Karen Bess Oak Harbor
sequently be destroyed in accordance with federal regulations. I would like to once again acknowledge the promotional assistance we received from various media in the area, including the Whidbey NewsTimes, South Whidbey Record, government employees, local businesses and “word of mouth” amongst prior participants. By spreading the message about this program, the result was a very successful collaborative event that not only brings awareness to the inherent danger of “unused” prescription medication, but helps protect the environment of our island as well. Finally, my sincere thanks to the Oak Harbor Police Department, which recently installed a drop-box in its lobby. That box can be used for prescription drug disposal during the interim time between scheduled Drug Take Back events. Mark Brown Island County Sheriff

Live below ‘zero’ before changing public policy GUEST COLUMN
By DON C. BRUNELL Let’s face it. We’re spoiled. Even in our tough economy, most Americans enjoy a myriad of conveniences we take for granted. We awake to a warm house, turn night into day with the flip of a light switch, jump into a hot shower, get dressed and grab a cup of fresh brewed coffee before heading to work in our car or on the bus. On the way home, we stop at the grocery store to pick up a few items from the 40,000 choices offered there. What do all these things have in common? They are made possible by fossil fuels. But we have become so accustomed to these creature comforts that we no longer associate them with fossil fuels. Like the fairytale “Princess and the Pea,” we have the luxury of being discomforted by the smallest things. In that story, the heroine’s royal pedigree is secretly tested by hiding a pea under 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds. She is proven to be of royal blood when she emerges the next morning after a sleepless night, complaining about the uncomfortable bed. That’s us. We have become the Princess and the Pea. We grimace at the mere thought of “dirty” fossil fuels and embrace the idea of “clean” energy. Oil, coal, diesel fuel and even natural gas? Ick. But consider: The paper you’re reading was produced and transported using fossil fuel. Same goes for the clothes you’re wearing and the chair you’re sitting in, your food, your car, your house and your workplace. Look around you. So, when government officials or the Sierra Club talk about eliminating fos-
sil fuel, we should understand what that means. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, more than 90 percent of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels and nuclear power (another energy source the Sierra Club wants to eliminate – and they’re not crazy about hydropower either, which produces most of our electricity in Washington). If we eliminate those energy sources, how will the Princess and the Pea fare without all her creature comforts? How will we? During power outages, newscasts are filled with images of miserable families huddled in cold dark houses. We think it’s terrible to live that way for a few days. Are we willing to live that way permanently? It would be nice if solar and wind power could fill the gap but they can’t – and never will. People who live a subsistence lifestyle have a very different view of fossil fuels. The National Geographic series “Life Below Zero” follows several people who live near the Arctic Circle in Alaska. Some are 100 miles from the nearest town; no roads, no convenience stores, no Home Depot. They haul water from a stream and heat with wood; they fish, trap and hunt for food. But even so, their lives depend on fossil fuel. They cook with wood—sometimes propane — and use gas to run their snowmobiles and the generators that power their lights and emergency radios. Up there, the daily train with its diesel engine isn’t a nuisance, it’s a lifeline – the only way to get fuel, supplies and medicine, the only way to get to a doctor. My point is this: because we have so much, we think little about it. Because we don’t realize how much we depend on fossil fuel, we imagine we can do without it. Before we embrace public policies and campaigns that will eliminate 90 percent of our energy, perhaps we should spend a week living “Life Below Zero” to see how we like it. Hopefully, we can then focus on how to apply our knowledge and technology to use fossil fuels more cleanly and efficiently.

STERKEL RETIRING CONTINUED FROM A1 department as the Sterkel era comes to a close. Chief Ed Green said he picked Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner to replace Sterkel as the new second-in-command. Sgt. Larry Ferguson and Detective Ron Hofkamp also recently retired and a patrol officer took a job with the sheriff’s department. Two new hires start in
May and two more position are open; the department is funded for 39 officers. Two people in the department will be promoted to sergeant. Green said he was very thankful to have Sterkel in the department when he started in fall 2012. “Of course he’s leaving a big hole in the agency, but I do believe Teri Gardner has
the ability to fill it,” he said. Green describes Sterkel as “old school.” He said he was taught by officers of Sterkel’s generation, so they approached law enforcement in the GARDNER same way. Gardner, he said, offers a different perspective and he looks forward to be challenged.
“She brings forth a new way of doing police work,” he said. “It’s the new generation. It’s refreshing.” Gardner has nothing but praise for Sterkel. She also worked her way up the ladder from patrol and worked for Sterkel for 17 of her 18 years on the job. She said his institutional knowledge was “invaluable.” Sterkel came to Whidbey in the Navy and started with the department as a reserve officer in 1972. He was hired full-

time in 1975. At the time, the department had just seven officers. He said there was minimal training and low wages. The first chief he worked under didn’t last long. The officers gave him a vote of noconfidence and he left soon after, Sterkel said. Sterkel said the department steadily improved with each successive chief. The biggest changes he’s seen in law enforcement, he said, is in improved communication — with cell phones and email — and greatly improved training. Sterkel made detective in 1979, just in time to catch some of the serious and bizarre cases that marked the 1980s. One of his most memorable cases involved a man who ingested a large amount of cocaine and then emptied the clip of a machine gun into his roommate, who was lying on a couch. In another case, a woman caught her husband cheating, so she moved east. She bought a gun and bullets and then took a bus all the way back to Oak Harbor and shot her husband, Sterkel said. Sterkel was promoted to sergeant and took over drug investigations in 1998. He delved deep into the city’s drug culture and even went undercover on occasion. He
said he got a lot of drugs and drug dealers off the streets. His biggest bust, he said, came nine years ago when he was supposed to be celebrating his 30th anniversary with the department. Instead, he was tailing a Whidbey man with ties to the Hells Angels motorcycle gang. After he received a tip that the man possessed a large amount of cocaine, Sterkel worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the State Patrol. When it was over, four men were arrested and law enforcement seized 41 kilos of cocaine and 25,000 tablets of the drug Ecstasy. After Wednesday, Sterkel puts all that behind him. He and his wife own horses and they plan to enjoy a lot of trail riding. He said he’s looking forward to possibly becoming a “snow bird” and wintering in a sunnier climate. Undoubtedly, he’ll miss the job … and especially the people. He said there’s a really good group of people in the department. He said he really enjoyed working with Green, whom he describes as “a very progressive, proactive leader.” “I like working for him,” he said, “and I wish I had more time with him.”

And there was no mistaking the mock cannon blasts from the pirate ship float of the Oak Harbor Buccaneers, the philanthropic wing of the Oak Harbor Yacht Club. Bob Mitchell, captain of
the Buccaneers in 2014, was decked out in red pirate attire and handed out necklaces to parade watchers. A bus driver for the Oak Harbor School District, he surprised some of the children in attendance. “They get a kick out of it,” Mitchell said. “At first, I don’t think they believe it.

Forgotten Wish
Employment General
It’s been 6 years now I’m still left with words unspoken With only memories to hold on to And hearts forever broken
Dad, I am who I am today I can’t go back and change the past If I could I would change God’s plan Of how he took you away so fast
With every moment I passed up Each phone call that I missed If I could travel back in time This is what I’d wish
Somewhere up above I can hear footsteps in the clouds I know you’re hard at work On a path to show me how
That I never became an addict And spent more time with my Pops Whether it was on the firing range Or just fishing off the rocks
Oh how to beat my disease of addiction Dad, show me the path to take Until I see a sign from up above At these crossroads I will wait
I was blind to the fact Of the ways you showed you cared It’s too late now And it just doesn’t seem fair
There’s not a day that goes by That you are not forever missed If I could just turn back the clocks of time You would be my only wish
Some days are harder than others Through dreams is our connection It’s those memories I cherish the most And the pictures in my possession
We miss you Dad, Garrett, Corey & JJ

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
