Hospital will sell land on south island
Raises for co.’s elected officials on table
THE DRIVE TO SURVIVE
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
By JUSTIN BURNETT
Oak Harbor Motors has survived and grown while other businesses have come and gone. They are celebrating their 35th year this August. The key to their success, the Horrobins say, is pretty straightforward. “We try to treat people like we want to be treated,” Mike Horrobin said, “and we’ve tried to instill that in our employees.” “It’s the people you have working for you,” Cathy added. “That’s the secret. We’ve been fortunate to have great employees.” The Horrobins said they believe that the Oak Harbor community is at a crossroads and they see reason for optimism. Mike Horrobin said the city’s plans for a sewage treat-
Should raises for elected officials be a budget priority? That’s one of the questions facing Island County commissioners as they begin the budget process for next year and decide where to invest tax dollars that are slowly accumulating as the recession fades into history. Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson met with other elected officials Monday afternoon to kick-off the budget process with a discussion about countywide priorities. Johnson noted that the county is in the midst of a salary study on certain staff positions and asked whether the county should plan for possible wage increases for those who may earn less than average. The elected officials, however, focused instead on their own salaries. Island County Prosector Greg Banks noted that elected officials haven’t had a pay raise since 2009, while members of two unions received cost of living adjustments. “Most elected officials feel we are falling way behind,” he said. Indeed, a study by Budget Director Elaine Marlow shows that most county officials’ salaries are near the

Whidbey General Hospital will move forward with the sale of a 4.5-acre lot in Bayview. The board of commissioners agreed in an unanimous 5-0 vote at it’s regularly scheduled 7 a.m. meeting Monday that the property was no longer compatible with the designs of the hospital, and that selling the property was the best decision. “It seems to me to hold the property really doesn’t make sense,” said Commissioner Grethe Cammermeyer, who represents South Whidbey. She added that she had not heard negative feedback from the community about selling the undeveloped lot, only about the circumstances surrounding its original purchase six years ago. “It’s been about how we got it, the process that took place,” she said. Located across Highway 525 from The Goose Community Grocer, the undeveloped lot was bought from a private landowner for $1.98 million in January, 2008, as the site of a future South Whidbey clinic. The board at the time didn’t get an appraisal, but Island County property SEE SELLING, A14

Key to success no secret at all, say dealership’s owners

hen Mike and Cathy Horrobin moved to Oak Harbor in 1979, the city had four car dealerships and seven furniture stores. Now the Horrobins own the only remaining car dealership in the city — the only dealership in Island County. Oak Harbor Motors sits alive and well at the busy intersection of State Highway 20 and Pioneer Way, but yet just across the highway looms the empty lot that was once Frontier Ford. The large, empty building that once housed the Whidbey Furniture Store sits across Pioneer Way; only one furniture store remains in the city limits.

Suspected burglar left behind cell phone, blood By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 27-year-old Clinton man got caught chatting on a phone while in the middle of burglarizing a home, and ended up tussling with the homeowner last summer, court documents state. The burglar got away, but not before leaving behind his phone and some blood, which were used
residence on Wilkenson Road in Langley in the early morning hours of July 2013 to find someone had kicked in the door to his garage. The homeowner entered his kitchen to find a stranger standing in the kitchen, talking on a cell phone. The resident yelled and then started struggling with the burglar, who tried to escape. The burglar managed to get away after a fight,
to tie the suspect to the scene. Prosecutors charged the alleged burglar, Michael S. Downey, in Island County Superior Court May 9 with first-degree robbery and firstdegree burglary. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to five years in prison under the standard sentencing range. According to the police report, a 49-year-old man returned to his
but left his cell phone behind, the report states. Both men were injured and were bleeding as a result of the fight. The resident reported that property worth more than $5,000 was stolen from his house. Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office completed a forensic analysis of the phone. He found photographs of Downey’s pay stubs as well as pho-
tos of him on the phone; he was also able to confirm that Downey had used the phone on a regular basis, the report indicates. Based on the cell phone analysis, a deputy secured a search warrant for a sample of Downey’s blood. The sample and blood from the burglary were sent to the Washington State Patrol crime lab for analysis; the lab determined the DNA matched, according to the deputy’s report.

Langley steps in to prevent Dog House demolition By BEN WATANABE Whidbey News Group
Responding to an inquiry about demolishing the Dog House Tavern by its owner, the Langley City Council approved an emergency moratorium on destruction of historic buildings Monday night. Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango proposed the six-month ban, which was unanimously approved by the city council in a 4-0 vote May 5. Councilman Bruce Allen was absent while tending to a family matter, but the council still had its necessary supermajority for the emergency ordinance. “I think it’s a really great interim thing to do,” said Councilwoman Rene Neff. “We bank on our historic charm. When anybody puts that at risk, there’s financial risk too.” Charlie Kleiner, who owns the building with his wife Janice, emailed Arango in late April asking about the process to tear down the building. In an interview with The South Whidbey Record last week, Kleiner said he felt he was not being helped or supported by the city after his request for a partial street vacation for part of Anthes Avenue was denied. Instead, the city offered to continue the existing arrangement, which allows the building to use an easement for the area under the famous stairs and deck that overlooks Saratoga Passage. Arango also offered the Kleiners a land swap that would give them the two areas in exchange for a similarly-sized area closest to the water above Seawall Park. Subsequently, the owners withdrew their request and Kleiner said he thought it was a bad deal to give up land closest to the shore. “I think the city’s dem-
onstrated a lot of support for this issue,” Arango said. Mayor Fred McCarthy added, “We have been looking at anything short of a gift of public funds.” Some of the issue is related to restrictions Langley faces when dealing with public property that includes a right of way and shoreline access. Per state law, the city cannot give away a public asset, such as property, without receiving a public benefit, Arango said. Now, the city and the Kleiners have six months to work on a new deal. Arango said the moratorium will give Langley time to come up with a set of standards about tearing down a historic building and gather public input. “The intent here is not to say under no circumstance can you demolish a historic building,” Arango said. News of the moratorium caught Kleiner by surprise Tuesday morning. He had not been notified by the city of the demolition application freeze, but said at this point, his plan remained the same: the Dog House Tavern will come down. But while he is eager to begin talking about new construction, Kleiner said he was open to discussing “viable renovation.” “I’m really at a point with the renovation concept where I was kind of salivating over new construction.” Kleiner said he was willing to speak with city leaders about the building and his plan, and added that the mayor had his phone number. “We just want to be part of the community, and we want to make everybody happy,” he said. “But we can’t do it at our own peril.” Janet Ploof, president of Langley Main Street Association, asked the city for its approval to try to repair the relationship with

The Dog House sits vacant on First Street. The owners recently announced plans to demolish the building, but Langley City Council passed a six-month ban last week prohibiting the destruction of historic buildings. the Kleiners. She proposed inviting them to town to discuss their options and make them feel like Langley supports them and their original request to renovate the century-old building. “It’s the cornerstone to our historic presence, and our historic presence is the cornerstone to our identity,” Ploof said. “We’re hoping to bring back some of the feelings they had when they first came here,” she added. Arango said he had experience drafting a sim-
ilar ordinance to protect historic buildings from becoming vacant lots, or “pits” and that he had run it by the city’s contracted attorney, Jeff Taraday of the Lighthouse Law Group. One of the standing issues in the permit process was the lack of an official engineer’s plan for the renovated or new building provided by the Kleiners to the city for review, Arango said. Having heard some of the reactions to the news, Langley resident and businessman Fred

Lundahl spoke in support of the Kleiners’ reputation.

Franchisee tutors corporate transition Co-owner of Oak Harbor’s Sylvan Learning center teaches corporate office how to embrace technology By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Before Sylvan Learning made a major financial investment into a digital-based curriculum, it set up an advisory group to test the waters and provide feedback. One of the advisors, Kathleen Casprowitz, dove right in. To Casprowitz, the idea of using an iPad to help facilitate teaching, testing and studying in the digital era made perfect sense. As owner of 17 Sylvan franchises, including one in Oak Harbor, she felt she could gain keen insight by experimenting with iPads in all of her centers in Washington, Arizona and British Columbia and provide unique feedback to the corporate office. “I got to sit on a board and brought a perspective very
different than most people,” Casprowitz said. “No. 1, I had international experience. I had a major metro. I had rural and I had urban. I’ve seen it all. I also was the largest franchisee in the system.” Three years after beta testing, Sylvan is deep into its digital conversion. The company acknowledged the insight it received from Casprowitz by awarding her as Franchisee of the Year for 2013 in November. It was the crowning moment of a 27-year career with the personal learning provider. Casprowitz, 58, from Surrey, B.C., was flattered by the honor. “I didn’t expect it,” she said. “It was quite a surprise for me. It’s probably the highest honor you can get at Sylvan and I felt pretty darn good
about it.” Casprowitz started her first Sylvan Learning center in Richmond, B.C., in 1987 before opening 10 more in Canada, three in Washington and three in Arizona. She sold her Canadian centers last year and now lives in Gilbert, Ariz., “semi-retired” and running businesses in Mesa, Chandler and Phoenix. She co-owns the centers in Oak Harbor, Bellingham and Mount Vernon with her brother-in-law Chris Maki. Casprowitz said she opened the Oak Harbor center, which is located on Pioneer Way, about 10 years ago. It was memorable. “I remember we had a grand opening and the mayor came out,” she said, referring to Patty Cohen. “You don’t normally get that. In smaller communities, you do. She

said, ‘We’re so thankful you’re here.’” Setting the direction and tone of her franchises, Casprowitz oversees a network that has delivered many heartfelt rewards. She said being a part of the difference her teachers make in helping children learn better has been heartwarming. Casprowitz said the new “SylvanSync” technology on the iPad was “easily embraced” at her centers, where students now use iPads as a tool to receive lessons and write answers. The interaction between a teacher and student is still at the heart of what Sylvan does, Casprowitz said. “The core essence of what we do is helping kids do better in school,” she said. “We’re just doing it differently now. “It’s a very powerful system. Kids love it.” Communicating the technology’s impact on her centers helped pave the way to Sylvan embracing it corporate-wide. “Kathleen Casprowitz has contributed to the success of our entire system not only by providing exceptional service to Sylvan customers in her communities, but through her many contributions to our franchisee advisory groups,” said Barbara Timm-Brock, Sylvan’s chief development officer. “Kathleen brings pas-

Program aims to Island Transit to hold open house make alcohol less available to teens By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff Reporter
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
While Oak Harbor teens know that drinking regularly carries risk, they also think that alcohol is easy to get, according to a recent survey. For that reason, the Oak Harbor Youth Commission is participating in the Let’s Draw the Line program, supported by a $1,000 state grant aimed at limiting teen access to alcohol. “As a community we are to be reminded that underage drinking is associated with greater risk for addiction, traffic crashes, violence, school failure, risky sexual behavior, depression and suicide,” said Susan Strom, substance abuse prevention coordinator for the county. Island County Human Services is working with the Oak Harbor Youth Commission to administer the program. The commission reached out to all of Oak Harbor alcohol retailers to ensure their commitment to checking identification. The Washington State Healthy Youth Survey is a comprehensive questionnaire that identifies health and well-being trends of a given community. It’s administered every two years in the public schools. Data from the 2012 survey in Oak Harbor shows that while some youth drink alcohol, the largest majority of Oak Harbor youth think “regular drinking isn’t cool” and understand that “regular drinking is risky.” Still, the majority of students perceive that alcohol “is easy to get,” according to the survey. Strom said even though students are facing tough choices, the community can help them make responsible ones. “We should not lose sight

of the fact that the youth of Oak Harbor are leaders, creative, athletic, smart, spirited, resilient and trying hard to walk a path that has meaning to them,” Strom said. “It is the intention and commitment of the Oak Harbor Youth Commission, local law enforcement and local retailers, through these grants, to making that path a bit safer.” Ten retailers are participating in the program: 7-Eleven North, 7-Eleven South, Albertson’s, AM/PM, DK Market, Liberty Market, SAARs, Walgreens, Walmart and Westview Mart. The stores are displaying a blue Let’s Draw the Line window cling to show their support. Employees at these retailers will receive regular training on responsible alcohol sales, and appropriate placement of products and advertisement of alcohol will also be considered. Youth who drink before the age of 15 are four times more likely to have alcohol problems when they are adults, according to the Washington State Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking. It is illegal to sell, give or provide alcohol to minors or allow them to consume alcohol on one’s premises or any premises under ones control — including vehicles and watercraft -— according to the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Providing alcohol to minors could result in up to $5,000 in fines and a year in jail. Minors found in possession could be fined $5,000 and receive up to one year in jail; using a fake ID could result in $1,000 fine and up to 90 days in jail, and buying or attempting to purchase alcohol could result in $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail.

Island Transit will celebrate the opening of its new Main Base Facility in Coupeville Saturday, May 17. The grand opening event will start 10:30 a.m., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony starting at 11 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. This new facility is the result of Island Transit receiving a State of Good Repair grant, which “is dedicated to repairing and upgrading the nation’s rail transit systems along with highintensity motor bus systems that use high-occupancy vehicle lanes, including bus rapid transit,” according to the Federal Transit Administration’s website. Island Transit started in December 1987, in a 6,000 square foot building, according to Executive Director Martha Rose. “It was just really horrendous conditions we had been working in,” Rose said, “but we kept a smile on our faces because we’re a great group.” The new base, which includes administration, maintenance, fuel and wash buildings, is located on 13.84 acres, more than seven of which are in Ebey’s Landing National Historic

The new buildings, a combined total of 54,588 square feet, are larger than Island Transit currently needs, which means there plenty of room to grow. “One of the requirements when you receive … federal funds is that you have to build the facility as if you are 20 years out,” said Rose. “This building will last 40 to 50 years.

Ridle takes over Oak Harbor Education Assoc. By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Peter Szalai, president of the Oak Harbor Education Association for 11 years, officially stepped down from his leadership position last week, passing the title to the vice president, Kathy Ridle. Szalai said he was leaving his role as president because he accepted a job as the director of teaching and learning with the school district administration, meaning he is no longer a
member of the union. “I’ve enjoyed representing the members and I think they’re being left in good hands with Kathy, who is a seasoned professional who is widely respected both as a teacher and advocate for members,” Szalai said. The title of presidency was passed to Ridle, who has been a member of OHEA since she was first hired by the school district about 20 years ago. “I think he did a fabulous job,” she said, of Szalai’s ten-

ure as president. Now that she is the president, she said, “it’s exciting and stressful at the same time.” Her day-to-day job is mostly answering concerns from members and working with the area representation, she said. OHEA is also working with Washington’s Education Association to get an initiative for smaller class sizes on November’s voting ballot. “There should be a
smooth transition,” said Szalai. “Kathy Ridle, the new president, has been vice president for several years, and she is fully informed on the major issues that we’re advocating for members.” Her position as president of OHEA is a temporary one, though, as it was automatically passed to her when Szalai stepped down. Ridle said that the association will be holding an election next month to officially fill the position.

Just because you can doesn’t mean that you should PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
In a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the justices ruled 8-1 that the Westboro Baptist Church and its congregation are protected under the First Amendment when they held a mocking protest at the funeral of an American soldier. That ruling was handed down despite the fact that any reasonable person viewed the messages of hate spewed by picketing members of the Westboro Church as cruel, disgusting and offensive. The key word is “reasonable.” The Westboro case was a test of the great power of the American Constitution and the understanding that our right to free speech isn’t always pretty. “Speech is powerful,” said Chief Justice John Roberts. “It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.” Enter the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve. While certainly not comparable to the Westboro congregation, COER has the knack for doing and saying things to get under the skin of those who disagree with their position. For that matter, each side does its fair share of taking jabs at the other. Such is the nature of public discourse. COER is clear in its mission — to end landing practices at Outlying Field Coupeville and eliminate the Growler presence on Whidbey Island. Understandably, this doesn’t sit well with those in the Navy and those who rely on the Navy presence to survive. Members of COER have the right to call for the practice field to be closed, and it was their right to protest this past Friday at OLF Coupeville. It was also within their constitutionally-protected right to display an American flag upside down during their rally. However, in doing so, COER was unnecessarily offensive. Perhaps that was the intention, but hopefully it was not. SEE GRAVES, A7

COER out of touch with how real world works Editor, Let me see if I got this right: the entire United States naval aviation force stops flying for a safety stand down, and the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve rabble think it was because they were at Outlying Field Coupeville demonstrating? They really are out of touch with the real world. They should not plan on it happening again. And bring ear plugs next time. Bill Simons, commander, USN (Ret.) Oak Harbor
Costume works against group’s ‘serious’ claims Editor, I’m not going to address the rhetoric of the “anti-noise” group talking about the health and well-being of the citi-
zens of Whidbey Island, or the laughable idea that the Navy not notifying the public of their touch-and-gos was, as Michael Monson said, “unconscionable.” Instead, I’d rather offer a little bit of advice: If you are going to protest — and you want to be taken seriously — don’t go wearing a purple cape and Paul Revere hat standing next to an individual holding an American flag upside down. Jimmy Sloan Oak Harbor
COER’s use of American flag was inappropriate Editor, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve got front page coverage for their protest at OLF. I cannot state loudly enough that they do not represent myself or my views on anything. A close look at the front page picture accompanying the article shows a protester displaying an American flag inappropriately. It is truly now the time for these folks
to move. Somewhere like the Ukraine may be nice for them. In the meantime, do their actions not upset anyone else? Doesn’t anyone else feel that they have stepped over a line here? Isn’t anyone else tired of catering to the minority? Does anyone else wonder at the level of media coverage these malcontents are given? Come on, people. Gary Raster Oak Harbor
Anti-OLF folks need to find a new place to live Editor, Michael Monson and the Citzens of Ebey’s Reserve often misspeak and misrepresent. They are sometimes amusing and, up until now, have not been intentionally malicious. To hold the flag upside down demonstrates a level of ignorance that is unacceptable and unconscionable. It is offensive in the extreme. Perhaps it would be best if the COER SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

GRAVES CONTINUED FROM A6
Flying the American flag upside down is an officially recognized signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. An upside down flag is not meant to be a sign of disrespect. Last Friday, however, holding the upside down flag was perceived as a slap in the face to the Navy com-

munity and all Navy supporters on North Whidbey. Whether we have the right as citizens to set out to anger those who disagree with us, sometimes there’s greater reward in taking a higher road. That did not happen in this instance. By holding the flag upside down, COER
came across as insensitive and antagonizing to fellow islanders, and that is an unfortunate choice that will long be associated with the group. n Keven R. Graves is executive editor and publisher of the Whidbey News-Times. He can be reached at kgraves@ whidbeynewsgroup.com

Downtown
Need more kid-friendly activities on Pioneer Editor, Let me offer a few suggestions on how to get people downtown to Pioneer Way. 1. Get rid of the one way; it’s too narrow, and the two days per year you get people downtown during Holland Happening, more than 30 vendors can’t set up on Pioneer Way. And the Fourth of July Parade cannot go down Pioneer Way because of public safety, kids too close to parade, floats, etc. 2. Most visitors to Oak Harbor have kids; there is absolutely nothing for kids to do in Oak Harbor — what go look at some art work downtown? I have three kids and they would say “boring.” 3. There is no eating establishment downtown; some are too expensive for most people with children. We need a Bob’s Burgers, Sonic or Red Robin in conjunction with a motel/ hotel. 4. I do agree with a recent letter writer that we need a free public boat dock for water travelers. Needless to say, you need something to draw residents and visitors to the downtown area, and putting up art work is not going to do it. Randy McClaskey Oak Harbor
Would spend money if they had what I want Editor, I’ve read an awful lot of speculation and opinion about why people don’t spend money in downtown Oak Harbor as much as they used to. I can only speak for myself. I don’t spend money downtown because there’s nothing down there I need or want, and parking is truly a hassle.
Some people have written that we need to “support” the businesses that are down there. What, pray tell, does this mean? Is it your intention that I spend my very limited, discretionary income on things I don’t want or need because someone else wants my money? I believe it was one of the county commissioners who said that a lot of the establishments were playing at running a business. I agree. I’ll “support” a business or establishment when they offer something I want or need. Ron Hewitt Oak Harbor
Waterfront needs to be looked at with new eyes Editor, I have had 40 years of commercial construction experience around the West Coast of the United States and many projects I was involved in were waterfront communities revitalizing their old town areas to attract more business. Astoria, Ore. has a maritime museum which attracts a lot of tourists and locals alike. In Alaska, it’s the cruise ship industry. Astoria also has an indoor water park for everyone to enjoy and very good hotels on the Columbia River. No better place to be in Astoria when it’s raining than in an 80-degree indoor water park. But you not only have to draw people, you have to keep them around a while. The piece of land on Bayshore Drive where Oak Harbor sets up the carnivals twice a year, and otherwise sits empty, would be the perfect place for a large indoor water park. It is low enough from Pioneer Way that it would have minimal impact on the view of the water from downtown. It could be three stories tall and still only be one story above Pioneer Way. You could have stairways connecting Pioneer Way with this area. But you also need to keep people downtown so where the old Piston Service store used to be could be a nice hotel with decks on the rooms so people could enjoy the view of the marina and

Maylor Point. It would give visitors an easy access to the water park, and they have to shop and eat somewhere, so there you go. If the city can spend $93 million on a sewage plant, take a little and invest in your citizens and businesses too. There are plenty of young families that need things to do winter and summer. I grew up in Oak Harbor and there wasn’t anything for kids to do then and I don’t see anything now. Plus all ages like a nice wave pool and water slide especially in the winter. No brainer. Coupeville got the Victoria Clipper and that could easily have happened here. Stop thinking like a small town and get into the 21st century. A facility like that would bring people from Skagit County year-round and all over Island County. Think outside the box. Or get the Maylor Point property from the Navy for a convention center and hotel, and have the Victoria Clipper come in to the area in the summer; they have a great advertising budget you could ride on the back of. We have to start looking at our waterfront like it’s the first time you have ever seen it. I think a lot of people are so used to seeing it they really don’t see it anymore. There are no hotels with a view of the water and I think Oak Harbor is missing a great opportunity after all the things I have seen other small towns do and be successful at. If I was mayor I would make it so. Good luck, Oak Harbor. Roger Baker Oak Harbor Honorable

Month shines light on foster care programs Editor, It is no surprise that May is the month that is chosen as National Foster Care Appreciation Month. By May, we are well into springtime — the season that embodies the promise of life renewed. Communities across the nation are stepping up to show their appre-
ciation to foster and relative parents, family members, child welfare professionals, volunteers and policy makers for their effort on behalf of children who are in foster care. The same is true in Island County. To Island County social workers, CASA’s, Judiciary and all others who are stepping up for local children who are in foster care, thank you for your compassionate and tireless efforts. To Island County foster and relative parents, your community is grateful to you. You are the ones who follow the rules, keep the records, attend the appointments, get children to school, wash the clothes, heal the wounds, celebrate the joys, wake up at night to comfort and soothe restless children. You are the normal in children’s lives. You hold the tender hearts of family in your hands. Your selfless commitment embodies the protective graces of community for children. To all who are giving their time, their love and their commitment on behalf of Island County children who are in foster care, your communities stand tall in your honor. Patti Carroll Kids First Team Clinton
Thanks
Will always remember Coupeville warmly Editor, I would just like to take a few moments to say “thank you” to my friends, family and teachers. As my graduation date approaches, I am starting to think more and more about the past. To my mom, Amie, and my dad, Sam, I just want to say “thank you so much.” I can never express how grateful I am to you for always supporting me through my years here at Coupeville High School. To my friends, thank you for always being there to help me make the right choices. I will always remember my times here. Nick Weatherford Coupeville

Kerfoot wins Wesco title, ’Cats 3rd Kerfoot was in a second tier of golfers who could challenge Davis with a good round, and Kerfoot responded with a career-best effort and beat Davis on his home course. “Mac was really stoked,” coach David Smith said. “When I saw him walking up to the 18th green, he had a big smile on his face.” Kerfoot finished the Wesco season with 192 match points, good for second in the North to Davis (209). Kerfoot also earned first-team, all-league honors by placing among the division’s top six. Oak Harbor’s Hunter Adams, who placed 15th in the Wesco tournament with an 83, earned second-team honors by ending the year ranked ninth in the North. Raiden Poe, who tied Adams in the Wesco tournament, finished 13th in season points and one spot from second-team honors. Aaron Kelley (88, 26th place), Steven Timm (94, 42nd) and Mason Dieter (95, 46th) also competed for Oak Harbor in the Wesco tournament. In season points, Kelley placed 15th, Timm 17th and Dieter 20th in the North. “I was really impressed,” Smith said. “It is a really hard course; if you don’t hit it straight, you will be in the trees all day. The kids stepped up big time.” Wesco 3A tournament team totals: 1, Stanwood, 403; 2, Meadowdale, 414; 3, Oak Harbor, 423; 4, Mountlake Terrace, 435; 5, Marysville Getchell, 440; 6, Shorewood, 441; 7, Glacier Peak, 447; 8, Everett, 457; 9, Shorecrest, 463; 10, MarysvillePilchuck, 521.

Mac Kerfoot and the Oak Harbor High School boys golf team surprised the field in the Western Conference 3A Championship Tournament at Kayak Point Golf Course in Stanwood Monday, May 12. Kerfoot shot a three-over 75 to win the individual title over 58 other golfers. That effort and a strong showing by the remainder of the Wildcat squad lifted Oak Harbor to third in the final team standings of the 10-team tournament. Oak Harbor came into the match ranked fifth in overall team points and third in the Wesco North. The Wildcats skipped over Marysville Getchell, which placed fifth in the tournament, to finish second in the final North standings behind Stanwood. Stanwood won the tournament with 403 strokes, followed by Meadowdale (414) and Oak Harbor (423). The top two teams in each division qualified their entire teams for next week’s district tournament, which is noon Monday and Tuesday, May 19 and 20, at the Everett Golf and Country Club. Kerfoot trailed by two strokes after the front nine, but fired a 36 over the back side to win by two strokes over a group of four tied at 77. In that group was the golfer who dominated Wesco play this spring, Halen Davis of Stanwood, who hadn’t lost a Wesco North match this season. Photo by Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

PREP ROUNDUP
Oak Harbor falls in soccer playoffs There was no upset this time around. Last year, Oak Harbor High School shocked Shorecrest in the opening round of the district soccer tournament. The Scots made sure that didn’t happen this spring, defeating the Wildcats 3-0 at Shoreline Stadium Saturday, May 10. Oak Harbor (6-10-1) will now have to string together three wins in the consolation bracket of the tournament to nab the third and final District 1 seed into the next round of the playoffs. In the first two matches, and possibly the third, the Wildcats will challenge a team they lost to during the regular season. Step one was Tuesday when Meadowdale visited Wildcat Memorial Stadium; results were not available at press time. The Mavericks (9-6-2) defeated host Oak Harbor 3-1 last week (May 5). If Oak Harbor won, it will travel to the loser of Glacier Peak (13-2-2) and Shorewood (10-3-4) at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15. Glacier Peak topped Oak Harbor 2-0 April 9, and Shorewood stopped the Wildcats 3-0 April 21. In Oak Harbor’s loss to Shorecrest (14-3) Saturday, the Scots led 1-0 at the break. “We played real well the first half,” said Oak Harbor coach Brian Thompson. “Our injured players gave it their all as long as they could. (Shorecrest’s) defense did a good job of stopping our attack.”

Coupeville finishes 2nd in district By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Pboto by Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times
Coupeville’s Ben Etzell, right, pops up from a slide, trying to avoid Lynden Christian pitcher Jamie Heystek, who was covering the plate on a wild pitch and then turned to check another runner. Etzell scored on the play.
Though the Coupeville High School baseball team fell 4-0 to South Whidbey in the 1A district tournament championship game at Kamiak High School Saturday, May 10, its goal of a deep run in the state tournament is still alive. Coupeville reached the title game by defeating Lynden Christian 5-2 in the semifinals in Blaine Friday, May 9. By finishing second in the district, Coupeville qualified for the tri-district tournament and avoided tri-district’s first two rounds, which are loser out. The Wolves will need to win one of two games at tri-district to advance to the state’s regional tournament round of 32. Tri-district began yesterday when Eatonville (12-8) met Nocksack Valley (11-12). The winner faces Overlake/Bear Creek of Redmond (14-1) Thursday, May 15. That winner challenges Coupeville (12-10) at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 17, at Bellingham’s Sehome High School. If Coupeville wins, it qualifies for state and plays in another tri-district game at 4 p.m. Saturday at Meridian High School to determine the third and fourth seeds heading to the state round of 32. If it loses, it plays either Meridian (11-12), Seattle Christian (14-6) or
Tacoma’s Life Christian Academy (5-5) at 4 p.m. Saturday at Sehome in a game for the fifth and final berth into the state tournament. The state’s regional tournament begins Saturday, May 24. In Coupeville’s loss in the district championship game, the Wolves simply did not play very well, according to coach Willie Smith. “Not a lot of positives to talk about,” Smith said. South Whidbey scored two runs in the third inning off two errors, a dropped relay at the plate, a walk and a single. In the fourth, the Falcons added two runs with the help of two Coupeville errors. The Wolves threatened in the third, fifth and sixth innings, but always with two outs, Smith said, limiting their chances to score. One bright spot was the relief pitching of Aaron Trumbull, who blanked South Whidbey over the final two innings. In the win over Lynden Christian, Coupeville pitcher C.J. Smith stranded 10 base runners as the Lyncs put runners into scoring position in five of the first six innings before finally pushing across runs in the seventh. Four times Lynden Christian had a runner at second or third with only one out and failed to score. Much of the pressure Smith faced wasn’t his own doing: the Wolves made four errors.
Whidbey golfers compete in Winter Series Four Oak Harbor golfers put in strong showings in the Washington State Golfers Association Winter Series. The series featured four matches, one each month January through April. In other golf action, Oak Harbor’s Sue Sapp teamed with Mount Vernon’s

When a Lync hitter blooped a two-run, two-out single in the seventh, coach Smith brought in ace Ben Etzell to get the final out. Coupeville’s offensive revival the last nine games was ignited by Tumblin. During that span, the senior hit well over .500 with three doubles, two home runs, 10 runs and eight stolen bases. Friday he was 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs, an RBI and stolen base. “It’s like this every year,” Tumblin said after the game. Once he finally starts hitting, the season ends. His bat, however, is helping keep this season alive. The Wolves scored their first run in the second inning. Korbin Korzan singled with one out. C.J. Smith bunted and the Lyncs threw the ball down the right field line, allowing Korzan to score. Tumblin led off the third by tucking a home run just inside the left field foul pole. After an out, Etzell was hit by a pitch, stole second, moved to third on Josh Bayne’s single and scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-0. Wade Schaef singled in the fourth and was driven home by Tumblin’s base hit. Tumblin led off the seventh with a walk and scored on Kurtis Smith’s single. Aaron Curtin also collected a hit for the Wolves.

Peter Case-Smith engages in a little play time with his mother Sheila Case-Smith at the Case farm in Oak Harbor Monday. ‘Rhubarb make great protective devices,’ Sheila joked.
OH Market opening for 20th year By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
T
he land on which Sheila Case-Smith grows tomatoes, rhubarb and other produce has been farmed in her family since 1898. Yet, despite more than a century worth of tilling the soil, a familiar problem still continues to surface on occasion. “Even after 116 years, we still are growing a great crop of rocks,” she joked Monday. Case-Smith will be among a group of Whidbey Island farmers who will be appearing at the Oak Harbor Farmers Market season opener from 4-7 p.m. Thursday in the park next to the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce visitor center. It’s the 20th consecutive year of the market, which the Case-Smith family helped get off the ground, along with other farmers.
The market is going back to its roots with a name change more representative of what the non-profit vendor member cooperative wants it to symbolize. “Membership voted this year to change the name to Oak Harbor Farmers Market so we can be clear to what we are,” said Peg Tennant, manager of the Oak Harbor and Coupeville farmers markets. The former name, the Oak Harbor Public Market, didn’t properly represent that, Tennant said. “A lot of folks think it’s a flea market or a food market,” Tennant said. “We wanted to get the word out that we are a farmers market.” That means products for sale are required to be “homemade, home grown or handmade,” Tennant said. She expects local farmers, crafters and some new vendors to be on hand. She anticipates some new

crops, such as leafy greens to be available and suggests customers make inquiries if they don’t see them out because new regulations require them to be kept in cool temperatures. “They have to be kept at 41 degrees,” Tennant said. “Just because there won’t be a table full does not necessarily mean a farmer is sold out. It just means they are being kept cool.” Case-Smith, her husband
Michael and son Peter have been working their farm to get ready for the opener. Peter, 19, said he’s been going to the market “since I was born.” He was busy planting heirloom tomatoes on a portion of the family’s 90-acre farm, yet also managed to take time to sword fight with his mother with a stalk of rhubarb on a warm, sunny afternoon. “The rhubarb make great protective devices,” Sheila Case-Smith said. She planned to bring rhubarb to the market, along with a variety of young heirloom tomato plants that she grew in her greenhouse and has been “hardening off,” or getting them acclimated to cooler outdoor temperatures. The Case-Smiths have been farming the family property on Case Road since 1976. The warm summer last year resulted in an excellent tomato crop and Sheila Case-
As an experiment to hold in more heat, Peter Case-Smith places protective covers over a variety of heirloom tomatoes called Mortgage Lifter. The Case-Smiths were part of the founding group that helped establish the Oak Harbor’ Farmers Market 20 years ago. Smith is hoping for a repeat this year. “Last year was a real tomato summer,” she said. “We estimated that we took over a half ton of tomatoes to market over six to seven weeks. “This year looks good.” The Oak Harbor Farmers
Market will run every Thursday from 4-7 p.m. through September. Tennant said strawberries are about six weeks away from coming to market. “We just need constant sunshine,” she said.

Penn Cove Gallery in Coupeville has welcomed a new artist, sculptor DEBORAH FRANCIS. Francis’ relief sculptures are made with polymer clay, wire and found objects. After many years of working as an artist and teacher in stoneware, earthenware and Raku, Deborah discovered polymer clay. Francis describes her process of working as a “tactile dialogue.” The direction the work takes is guided by remaining open to numerous and unexpected possibilities along the way to a final form. After conditioning the clay, custom colors may be blended. Textures, shapes and embellishments such as wire, metal, beads and found objects are added to give the work dimension. After baking, components are assembled, mounted and generally framed. Penn Cove Gallery is located at 9 N.E. Front St. For more information, go to www.penncovegallery.com Penn Cove Gallery also has added the wood sculptures of artist PAT COLLINS to its collection of local talent. Collins has been sculpting wood for over 30 years. He calls his art “Stylized sculpture.” His aim is first to showcase the beauty and natural figure of fine hardwoods and second to draw viewers into his creations giving them the opportunity to interpret what they see.

SUCCESS CONTINUED FROM A1 ment plant on Pioneer Way is a great opportunity, if done right. He sees a lot of potential for the adjacent Windjammer Park. City officials and many members of the community want to see something special incorporated into the project, whether it’s extending Bayshore Drive or building such amenities as an amphitheater or small-scale retail space. In addition, the city purchased the former Whidbey Island Bank building on the site, which people have talked about converting into a City Hall or a library. “It would bring some life back to the area and we need that,” Mike Horrobin said. “We need the area upgraded. The park is a tremendous spot.” The Horrobins have seen a lot of change during their years in business. They both grew up in the Tri-Cities. While Cathy was raised on a dairy farm, Mike cut his teeth at his father’s Ford dealership. They were both relatively young and had just started a family when they purchased Oak Harbor Garage, which was then known as the Dodge Garage. Cathy said they were lucky to have Elsie Balda to help them run the business for so many years. In fact, many of the employees had a habit of staying around for a
long time, which helped make the business a success. “It’s been good to us. The store, the community,” Cathy said. They’ve also been good to the community. Cathy served on the school board for years. They currently have 28 employees and generate about $1 million a month in sales. “I still feel we are a good generator of money for the community,” Mike said. When the Horrobins first arrived, the city was bustling with family-owned businesses. But that has changed as many mom-andpop stores — and even corporate giants like Kmart — fell by the wayside. They said they even miss their car-business competitors. “A lot of the people were friends,” Mike Horrobin said. “They are not enemies.” Mike Horrobin points out that small cities and towns were struggling all over the nation, even before the recession struck. Oak Harbor is not immune to the problems. Census Bureau statistics show that median household incomes have fallen in Oak Harbor when adjusted for inflation. The median household income in 2012 was $48,809; it was $36,641 in 1999, which is $50,495 in 2012 dollars, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ inflation calculator. A recent economic profile created by Ethan Spoo, economic

and recreate it, nor do I want to.” Tarrant and a hospital spokeswoman initially told The Record in April that it was unclear why the land was purchased for so much because property acquisitions are discussed in executive sessions, which are closed to the public. A later public records request filed by The South Whidbey Record revealed that much of the board’s discussion about buying property for a new South Whidbey clinic was, in fact, done in open session, but that it did retire behind closed doors Sept. 10, 2007, to talk about the purchase. The board reconvened and authorized then CEO Scott Rhine and then CFO Doug Bishop to begin negotiating with the owner. Later minutes do not reflect any detailed conversations about the purchase price, other than in November to limit the total project cost to $12 million. Tarrant agreed with the other hospital commissioners Monday, saying there was nothing that could be done about the situation and that selling the property was the logical choice, The Dog House sits vacant on First Street. The owners recently announced plans to demolish the building, but city officials passed a six-month ban prohibiting the destruction of historic buildings last week. as it is no longer consistent with the hospital’s strategic plan. “Looking forward and at our strategic plan, that property really does not fit,” she said.
CONTINUED FROM A1
Mike Horrobin appears in an ad published in the Whidbey NewsTimes during the early 1980s development coordinator, points out that the city’s economic weaknesses include high unemployment; slowing population growth; a lower-than-average proportion of people with college degrees; and a dearth of housing that matches local incomes. But still, Spoo recognized the city’s strengths as economic growth in construction, transportation and warehousing; average tax rates; and higher-than-average per capita sales tax collection. Of course, the biggest economic driver of all is Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, which is healthy and growing. As the Horrobins look to the city’s future with hope, they plan on continuing business as usual, though that may mean more trips to the golf course than Mike could manage in younger years.

records list its value at the time at $618,000 — a $1.36 million difference from the purchase price. Island County recorded the property value at $595,890 in 2013. The property was never developed, however, due to changes in the economy, affecting the districts ability to acquire revenue bonds, and laws surrounding critical access hospitals that reduced reimbursements for out- patient services. “I understand there is a negative history on this, but there is nothing we can do to go back and change it,” said Commissioner Georgia Gardner, who represents Central Whidbey. “I’m not in favor of holding onto something that we can’t use, so I think we need to sell it,” she said. Gardner proposed putting revenue from the sale into existing programs that do “produce results” for the hospital and its outlying facilities. Board President Anne Tarrant also addressed the background of the purchase, saying that a recent examination of board minutes indicate the property was discussed in open session. “Whether people like the price or not, it was 2007,” Tarrant said. “Prices were extremely inflated, but none of us were on the board at that time, and I can’t go back

Filing Week yields Student artwork on display at treasurer candidate Oak Hall until Friday afternoon
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Candidate filing week only garnered one surprise in local Island County elections by midday Tuesday. Coupeville resident Wanda Grone, a Republican, filed to run for county treasurer. She is currently the chief deputy treasurer and will go up against her boss, Democrat Ana Maria Nunez, if she also runs. Nunez hasn’t filed yet, though the deadline is the end of the day Friday. She did, however, file her intention to run with the state Public Disclosure Commission. The other candidates aren’t shockers as they have already announced or previously filed with the state Public Disclosure Commission. Sheriff Mark Brown, a Republican, was the first to file. In addition, Auditor Sheilah Crider, a Republican, filed to keep her seat. Karla Jacks, a Camano Island Democrat, was the first to file for the District 3 commissioner seat. None of the four Republicans who have announced their candidacy has filed so far.
Bill Hawkins, a Coupeville resident, filed for the district court judge seat. He was appointed to the nonpartisan position last year. In the legislative races, Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and Dave Hayes, R-Camano, both filed to run again, but neither of their challengers has as of yet. So far, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Arlington, has one challenger. Mike Lapointe, an Independent from Everett, filed to run against him. Candidates may file electronically, through the U.S. mail or in person at the Elections Office in Coupeville, which is at 400 North Main St. The Elections Office will be open Monday, May 12 through Friday, May 16, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To file electronically, candidates can go to www.islandcounty.net select “elections” in the green menu bar at the top of the page and follow the prompts for online filing. The Auditor’s Office suggests that candidates retain copies of their online filings. n For election-related questions, call 360-679-7366 or email to elections@co.island. wa.us
By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
A college building in Oak Harbor will be jazzed up for a week with a smorgasbord of artwork, including one giant purple unicorn. Lowell Sipes, art teacher at North Whidbey Middle School, has arranged an art show for students from kindergarten through 12th grade at Skagit Valley Community College’s Oak Hall. The school district has a few shows throughout the year for artists, including the elementary art walk recently decorating Pioneer Way, but Sipes wanted something a little more formal for the students when he started teaching in the district last year. He started this show last year, and it’s grown now in its second. “I wanted there to be an opportunity for something that was a little more like a gallery feel,” he said. “Something off campus, so it felt a little bit more important to the students.” The 150 or so art pieces were chosen from all the schools in the district. The show includes drawings, paintings, sculptures, jewelry and more. Sipes said he wished they could display everybody’s work, but there was limited space available in Oak Hall, not enough time to put everyone’s art up and “a smaller show gives more importance to each piece.” “Everybody’s work deserves to be seen,” he said, “particularly if they put effort into it, and they do.” A highlight for Sipes is art that came from a few students who felt like they didn’t belong in an art class. He used the example of a few students who told him that they didn’t do art, they did sports. “Each of these guys and girl found a way to express
themselves artistically,” Sipes said. One student made a baseball-themed piece, one a basketball-themed piece and another expressed her opinion that “girls can play sports, too.” “That’s important,” said Sipes. “That’s what it’s all about. And that’s why it’s hard not to take everyone’s work.” The show is open for everybody to come and see the pieces. Sipes said he thinks everybody should come and see it, not just to support the students, but for themselves. “I would encourage them to get out and see beauty again,” he said. But the most important thing is the students. “I think it’s important to show our youth that we are there to back them,” said Sipes. “If our standard is high, well, why don’t we show them how high it is by being the ones to display their work in an appropriate way?” The community has played a huge role in making this show possible, according to Sipes. WAIF donated frames to the show last year, and offered a really good discount on them this year, according to Sipes. Habitat for Humanity donated doors, which Sipes turned into display walls for art, for the show. But he’s grateful to Oak Harbor as a whole, for being so supportive of the art programs in the schools. Because of all the support, art shows for the schools are possible. This show officially opened last Friday evening and is scheduled to be taken down after school this Friday. “We want it to be about the kids, we want it to be about their work,” Sipes said. “Just being a part of something that just feels so special, because only so many pieces can go in, I think is really the primary purpose.”
BUDGET CONTINUED FROM A1 bottom when compared to seven similarsized counties. The salaries for most county elected officials are based on a percentage of the District 3 commissioner’s salary, which is currently $78,496. The assessor, auditor, treasurer, clerk and coroner each make 90 percent, which is $70,647 a year. The judges and the prosecutor’s salaries are set by the state. Marlow found that only Mason County officials make less among the seven similar counties. The sheriff earns 110 percent of the commissioner’s salary, or $86,350 a year, which is near the median for the eight counties. The prosecutor earns $128,889 a year, but the county only pays $52,985 of that. The state pays $75,904. By comparison, the Skagit County prosecutor earns $138,305 a year. For most of the positions, any salary increases would go into effect next year for whoever is successful in the upcoming election. The District 1 and 2 commissioners would have to wait until after the next election in two years. A 5 percent salary increase every other year for county commissioners was written into county code until the recession hit. The Board of County Commissioners repealed the pay increase grid in county
code and cancelled elected officials salary increases set for 2009. Due to state law, they were unable to legally cut salaries for District 1 and 2 commissioners until after the 2010 election, so the two commissioners donated back part of their salaries for those two years; the salary was officially decreased in 2011. Price Johnson said she would not be in favor of increasing elected officials’ salaries by 5 percent. She noted that represented employees only received 2 percent cost of living adjustments. “I want to make sure we don’t exceed the increase we have made available to the unions,” she said. Price Johnson said she would prefer that the county set up a salary commission, which is a group of citizens who set elected officials’ salaries. Banks said he also likes the salary commission format, since it tends to take politics out of the issue, but he was concerned that there wasn’t enough time to set up a commission this year. Price Johnson said she would look into the issue. Beyond salaries, much of the discussion Monday focused on technological and security improvements, such as adding a panic button to the clerk’s office, updating the county website and digitizing records. There were plenty of complaints about

Commissioners Jill Johnson, at left, and Helen Price Johnson, shown during a previous commissioners’ meeting, will decide whether raises for elected officials is a budget priority. county facilities, particularly what elected officials characterized as absurd heating and cooling problems in the administrative building and the Law and Justice Center. “You could hang meat in my office and it would stay for a long time,” Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said. Banks and Undersheriff Kelly Mauck also grumbled about the lack of space in the Law and Justice Center. Elected officials immediately complained about the lack of space when it was opened just 13 years ago, though it stopped being a
concern because of staff cuts during the recession. But now that the county is returning to pre-recession staffing levels, the crowding will become a problem again, Banks predicted. He pointed out that past commissioners claimed that the facility was built so that adding more space would be easy. In the end, Price Johnson emphasized that the discussion was just a starting point and that budget decisions will be made after in-depth meetings with each elected official and department heads.

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.
