Emerson running for Kitsap Co. auditor By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Kelly Emerson isn’t giving up on politics.
Kelly Emerson hasn’t left politics behind. Emerson surprised many by resigning her position as Island County commissioner earlier this month. She is a Republican and represented District No. 3. Last week, however, she filed in Kitsap County to run for the county auditor position. She is now a Bremerton resident, according to her filing document.
During an interview Monday, Emerson said she found that being a commissioner was a bad fit for her. “Frankly, it was just a slow process for being able to have any reward,” she said. “It took so long to make even the most minor change. “I’m a person who wants quicker results.” Emerson said she didn’t want the “citizens of Island County’s investment” in her to go to waste, so she decided to seek a different office.
Emerson said she’s learned a lot in three years about how county government works. Emerson said she chose to run for Kitsap County auditor because she’s interested in the diverse office, especially the financial division. She wants to ensure transparency and grant compliance. Plus, the current auditor isn’t running again, though there is another candidate in SEE EMERSON, A14

Man rescued from submerged car By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
A bystander jumped in the water to rescue the driver of a car that ran off the road and into a pond at the intersection of State Highway 20 and Keystone Avenue Friday.
The driver, who asked to remain anonymous, was trapped inside the vehicle as it sank. Kris Barski said he witnessed the accident and flagged down passing motorists to help rescue the driver. After arriving at the accident scene,
onlooker Matt Chidsey dove into the water to help free the driver from the submerged vehicle. “People were throwing rocks and sticks, trying to break the windows because the SEE RESCUED, A14
A nursing administrator at Whidbey General Hospital is being investigated for allegedly assaulting a patient last week, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The spokesperson for the hospital said Tuesday she cannot comment on the allegations and wouldn’t say whether the alleged assailant is currently working there. Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said the Coupeville Marshal’s Office initially responded to a report of a patient assaulting a nurse at the hospital May 13. Witnesses at the hospital claimed that a different nurse — not the one who was assaulted — had assaulted the patient, according to Mauck. Marshal Rick Norrie said he’s investigating the case and hasn’t sent it to the prosecutor yet for charging consideration. Trish Rose, the hospital spokeswoman, said the hospital takes any patient complaints seriously and investigates them thoroughly “so that patient care and safety may be improved.” Rose said she could not comment on the specifics of the allegation or the hosSEE ALLEGATIONS, A14

Teacher recovering after bicycle accident By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A science teacher at Oak Harbor Middle School who was seriously injured in a bike-versus-truck accident in Greenbank Saturday is recovering. Christina Bromme, a 56-year-old Coupeville resident, was listed in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle Monday, according to a hospital spokesperson. The driver of the pickup truck, 23-yearold Taylor C. Evans, of Coupeville, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular assault, according to Trooper Mark Francis with the Washington State Patrol. Francis said investigators believe Evans may have been drinking prior to the collision. According to the State Patrol, Evans was westbound in a 1997 Chevrolet S10 pickup

on Bakken Road at about 7:30 Saturday night. He turned left into a private driveway in front of Bromme, who was eastbound on her bicycle. The bicycle struck the passenger-side door of the truck and Bromme slid underneath, Francis said. Maria Bromme, Bromme’s daughter, said her stepfather was bicycling right behind her and was “extremely quick” to jump into action. He asked for a car jack from a nearby residence and jacked up the truck; she was able to scoot herself out. “It was also still light out at the time of the accident (my stepdad has a picture on his iPhone) and my mom had plenty of reflectors and lights on her helmet and neon yellow jacket,” Maria Bromme wrote in a comment to the News-Times. Bromme was wearing a helmet at the time. Evans’ pickup was impounded.

accident occurred just after midnight. She drove the truck across the oncoming lane, went off road, struck a sign, traveled across a driveway and struck a large tree, the report states. A 9-year-old boy in the truck was seriously injured. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was treated for a lacerated spleen, pulmonary contusions and a pneumothorax. A deputy responding to the accident said in his report he found prescrip-
tion pills in the truck and in Campbell’s purse. A sample of Campbell’s blood was taken at the scene and sent to the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab for testing. Toxicology results allegedly showed the presence of Diazapam, Nordiazepam, Oxazepam, Quetiapine, Oxycodone and methadone, the report indicates. If convicted on the charge, Campbell could face from one to nine months in jail under the standard sentencing range.

BRIEFS Agency seeks biz partnerships BUSINESS Hydroplane races still in need of sponsors
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
An agency serving the island’s disabled residents is seeking new partnerships with employers. “We’re about building community,” said Ashley Van Oeveren, area manager for Service Alternatives. “Every community member should have an opportunity to be involved. One of the best ways to be involved is having a job.” Service Alternatives is a human services agency that provides services to the county’s disabled residents through services that include residential care for adults with disabilities, community employment assistance, foster care services, training and development. Van Oeveren said partnerships with potential employers is key to integrating the disabled into the community. “We work with people with disabilities and we hope to find them jobs,” Van Oeveren said. “We don’t want a hand out, we’re looking for an opportunity.” A few Oak Harbor employers already participate in the program. Gary Wallin, owner of Wallin Funeral Home, said in a Service Alternatives promotional flyer that employee Thomas is a “willing worker, looking to finish his tasks completely and on time.” Service Alternatives does not release the last names of

Service Alternatives staffers Mandi Rothman, Ebonie Daniels, Elizabeth Kettlewell, Ashlee Wiley and Heidi Svahn visited the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce this month to encourage partnerships that help the disabled get jobs. its clients. “At the end of his time with us, he reports back to me that he has completed his assignments and shares with me the quality of his work,” Wallin said. Ken Merrell of Best Friend’s Veterinary Center hired Heather and was impressed with her “work ethic, independence and willingness to learn.” “Heather is dependable, cheerful and willing to do whatever is asked of her,” Merrell said. “We are very pleased with our hiring decision and feel fortunate to have Heather on our team.” Service Alternatives,
which was started by former Peace Corps volunteers Fran Einterz and Joyce Peterson in 1983, just celebrated 30 years of service. Service Alternatives started on Whidbey Island with a contract to serve eight adults with developmental disabilities. These services, along with additional employment and family programs, went on to expand into Snohomish and King counties, and now stretch out into most of Western Washington. Today the agency is staffed by more than 550 employees and contracts with more than 100 foster parents, serving
approximately 800 people per day. “They had a dream to make the world a better place through excellent work, as well as to provide opportunity for employees to make a career doing social work,” according to Island County’s Program Manager Ashley Wiley. “We at Service Alternatives are committed to advancing the potential of our communities, customers and ourselves through exceptional service. This vision defines our purpose and is at the heart of our business.”
County to open Fridays in June By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A final approval was made last week to open county offices to the public on Fridays starting the week of June 15. Commissioners approved an ordinance during their May 12 regular meeting that finally rolled back staffing and office hours cutbacks dating back to 2009. “I’m grateful that our economy has come back that we are able to sustain this,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. “I hope it’s helpful
to folks.” “Having access to county services it a important part of renewal and development.” Last year’s budget revealed that the county had started to recover from the recession, and commissioners have been slowly reviving programs and services that have been cut for several years. The closure of the departments such as Planning, Public Health, the Auditor and others was troublesome to real estate brokers and builders who have complained about delays due to
lack of access and delayed permitting. “I agree that this is a good moment for Island County,” said Commissioner Jill Johnson. “It is important for our community to do transactional business five days a week.” “This allows that.” New hours for county administrative services are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, including offices for the treasurer, auditor, assessor and commissioners. The public counters for Public Works, Planning and
Public Health will reopen on Fridays, but the MondayFriday public schedule will be shortened slightly 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. instead of its current 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Department heads have argued that Fridays have provided staff much needed quiet time to complete tasks without public interruption, and the closure during the 3-4:30 p.m. time period each day is intended to allow for that. Camano Annex hours will be 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
n With hydroplane races coming to Oak Harbor in August, organizers are still lining up sponsors and preparing for a boat show.The Show & Shine Boat Show will take place from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 7 at Flyers Restaurant & Brewery in Oak Harbor. A barbecue will be held on the patio and race fans will get a chance to take photos with the boats. A simulator also will be onsite for fans to get a feel of what it’s like to race in a hydroplane. The Oak Harbor Hydro Races are set for Aug. 16-17 with racing starting at noon each day. Organizers are still seeking event sponsors, and “waterfront suites” are for sale for businesses and individuals, event director Michelle Curry said. The
suites are 20 feet by 20 feet patios at the end of the dock at the Oak Harbor Marina, giving fans an unobstructed view. The suite includes meal delivery. “It’s frontrow seating,” Curry said. “Right there in the middle of the action. ”During the event, all ages will be welcome to tour the “hot pit” area for a small fee. Part of the proceeds from the beer garden will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Coupeville. Boats from the Grand Prix class will be participating, Curry said. The class is one step below the giant “unlimited class” at Seafair.For more information, contact Michelle Curry at 360-941-9690 or ivegotmail2@hotmail. com

North Whidbey Middle School holds food drive By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
North Whidbey Middle School is holding a canned food drive to benefit Relay for Life and North Whidbey Help House. The food drive, which started Monday, collects canned food only. Donations will be accepted for two weeks. Relay for Life, an event that started in May 1985 in Tacoma, Wash., is a fundraising event for cancer research, as well as an opportunity to offer support for those whose lives have been affected by cancer. “There’s a lot of positive things that happen at this event that make people feel good,” said Leandra Reuble, 2014 event chairwoman for Relay for Life of Whidbey Island, “and sometimes that’s every bit as important as raising money.” The canned food from the drive will be used to weigh down the Luminaria tributes that are a feature of Relay for Life events. These tributes are personalized lanterns in
honor of someone’s fight with cancer. The luminaries will be lit at 10 p.m. at the Relay for Life event. Relay for Life in Oak Harbor will be at North Whidbey Middle School. It starts at 6 p.m. Friday, May 30. As of Monday afternoon, $72,466.16 was raised for Relay for Life of Whidbey Island. At the Relay for Life, the first lap around the field is a Survivors Lap and is for cancer survivors and their caregivers. They will be led by Oak Harbor High School’s NJROTC, said Reuble. Reuble said there will also be booths selling things, a bouncy house and “a Mr. Relay competition, where the guys dress in drag and try to get donations on the track.” After the relay, all of the food collected from the drives will be donated to the Help House. Donations can be brought to the middle school anytime starting Monday for two weeks.

IN OUR OPINION Cut in athletic fees a welcome step by Oak Harbor schools It’s not often you hear that fees and costs are going down, but that’s exactly what’s happening in the Oak Harbor School District. Starting next school year, a number of athletic fees will be dropping, many of them significantly. The decreases, approved by the Oak Harbor School Board, reverse fee hikes that became necessary over the past few years because of the poor economy and budget cuts. For student athletes, this is very good news. At Oak Harbor’s middle schools, fees are currently $75 for the first sport played, $50 for the second and $25 for the third. Those fees will be descreasing to $25 for the first, second and third sports. At the high school, the $100 fee for the first sport will drop to $80, the second sport will drop from $75 to $55 and the third sport will go from $55 to no fee. “This is just bringing our fees back down to the level they were prior to our fiscal challenges over the last few years,” said schools Superintendent Lance Gibbon. Meanwhile, athletic participation is increasing among middle school students, according to Gibbon. That’s a positive thing. Sports encourage participation and teach teamwork, both important attributes graduates can carry into the work force. School sports can also build self esteem and confidence, valuable life skills. It is imperative for school age children to have access to sports and games, according to Theodore Hesburgh, author of “The Importance of School Sports and Education.” Sports can motivate students, pushing them to earn better grades, especially in schools where maintaining a grade point average is a requirement of participation, according to Hesburgh. Studies back up those claims. In August 2007, “Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise” found that students who were active in sports like soccer, football and even skateboarding performed 10 percent better in core subjects such as math, science, social studies and language arts. By reducing the athletic fees, hopefully more students will be turning out for a sport next school year. We applaud the school district’s steps to make those sports more affordable and accessible.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pioneer Way
Ideas for bringing new life to downtown core Editor, There has been talk about how to revitalize the Pioneer Way shopping. People seem confused as to why shoppers aren’t coming down there to spend time and money. I have traveled to a few tourist towns in my life, partly the product of being and staying married for 32 years. Let me provide some insight into the problems and potential solutions: The architecture – create a zone around Pioneer Way that could only have Dutch style architecture. This would apply to new construction and as old buildings are replaced. This has worked for towns like Solvang and Leavenworth. You must have a distinctive sepa-
ration from the commercial part of town for this to work. You need to deal with the panhandlers. Whether it is through tougher laws against the practice or providing services or housing, it is an issue that must be addressed. Unless, of course, this is something we want to celebrate. The farmers market needs to be moved to Pioneer Way if it is to remain a once-a-week event. I am reminded by one of the best farmers markets located in San Luis Obispo. They shut down Higuera Street on Thursday evenings and the street fills with vendors, restaurants with their barbecues a blaze, and musicians hired to play at intersections. It has turned into a giant event and gathering. There needs to be a committee that approves what type of business can open in the Pioneer district. I don’t go to tourist towns to look for tattoo parlors or bars that I can’t see through the windows. More touristy shops and better
restaurants/delis are needed. The fifth issue is to celebrate the pulse of Oak Harbor – the U.S. Navy. The PBY Memorial Foundation wants to set up its museum on Pioneer. Instead of just setting up shop somewhere, the city should create a building with Dutch architecture down on the vacant lot at Pioneer and Midway down by the water. This museum should be something every Oak Harbor citizen should be proud of and something tourists would like to visit. However, if none of these work, I have one more trick up my sleeve — close Deception Pass Bridge to vehicle traffic and turn it into a bicycle/walking bridge to tie together Deception Pass State Park.Rather than a town that you drive through to get somewhere, Oak Harbor becomes an end of the road destination. People always want to drive to the end of the road — dont’cha know? Thomas Kosloske Oak Harbor

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jet noise
Business park
No one owns county, including the Navy Editor, Reader comments such as, “COER people should just move away if they don’t like jet noise,” so frequently published by the Whidbey News-Times, are very unAmerican. In a democracy, we allow, even encourage, others to have an opinion different from our own. Majority voice should not muffle the minority voice. Both can exist. That’s the American way. We protect the rights of those who may disagree. We don’t tell them to leave. The Navy is indeed very important to all of us. It is the most powerful organization in the world. A strong defense is the best deterrent against aggression. But that does not mean that the Navy can violate noise and pollution standards that all others must obey. In history, the United States government has violated the trust of the people — Agent Orange in Vietnam and nuclear testing for WWII — both caused great harm to innocent American citizens. I appreciate what our Navy does. I appreciate the many fine people working for the Navy. But that’s not a license to cause harm to your neighbors – at this point, a wellproven fact. Those who love jet noise could buy a CD and play it as loudly as they like, hopefully with their windows closed. Or they could live close to a runway. But pollution violations are not as obvious as noise. Jet fuel is a known carcinogen. Let’s all get along — even with those of differing opinions. Just look at the better community spirit of nearby communities like Anacortes and Port Townsend for example. No one owns Island County, not even the Navy. Tim Verschuyl Oak Harbor
Marijuana business bad for Oak Harbor Editor, I returned to my car, stunned. Just a week ago I read how good service drove a car business to success. Now, I learned how the marijuana folks are driving great service businesses ro shut down by forcing seven large buildings in the Goldie Road Business Park to relocate in 30 days if they are unwilling to absorb and pay a 300 percent increase in rent. Yes, seven buildings being turned over to the processing and distribution of marijuana. Oh, how the temptation a substantial rent increase appeals to a landlord — never mind the businesses he damages, the virtually impossible relocation options to the existing businesses forced to move, the interruption in their business, the probable layoffs of employees and the new line of unemployment applicants. Oh, did I fail to mention the influx of drugs to our area, the knockoff potential — surplus production distributed locally — that the seven large buildings suggest a pretty already-organized drug cartel and the increased strain on our already understaffed law enforcement? June 30 is when the businesses — among them Mark’s Auto Repair — will be gone, hoping to relocate, but if unsuccessful, will then go out of business. If public pressure could keep a “gentlemen’s club” from a foothold in Oak Harbor because it’s inappropriate, doesn’t a major marijuana processing and distribution facility fall clearly in the same camp? We all have kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces and friends’ kids. Why let this happen? We may not be able to force the landlord from shockingly raising his rents, but can’t we keep some tenants out? City council, help us on this one — unless what brought people to Oak Harbor is now not as good as being known
as “Oak Harbor, the Drug Haven for Marijuana Business.”

Coupeville
A special place to aways call ‘home’ Editor, Next month I graduate from Coupeville High School and step into the real world with hopes to pursue a higher education. I have been in Coupeville Schools since second grade, and have grown up with those in my senior class, along with growing up with this community. I may have not made an impact on my community, but they have made an impact on me. I do not know where my future lies, but I do know my home is here, and I am grateful that I know where that is. I do not have the best GPA, grades or attitude, but the teachers and staff of Coupeville, along with my parents, have helped guide me rather then pushing me through the system with no care about my future, and I wish to thank them for their help. Being as undecided as I am, I may stay for a couple more years and attend Skagit Valley College or I may leave for an out-of-state college, only to visit my parents during Christmas break and summer, but I know that I will come back to the welcoming place I call home, Coupeville, Wash. Joye Jackson Coupeville
Town perfect place for inside basketball court Editor, My name is Anthony Bergeron and I am student at Coupeville High School. I would like to address Coupeville and why it should consider building a community center that includes an indoor basketball
court with a weight room. Being a basketball player, I have been looking for a place like this so that I am able to practice my skills. The only place that I know that is like this is the Navy base gym in Oak Harbor. Not everyone is military, so a lot of people are not able to go to this gym. Plenty other people at Oak Harbor High School and Coupeville High School are looking for a place like this because all we have are outdoor courts that we are not able to play on a lot of the time because of the weather. The reason Coupeville is the ideal location for this is because it is between Oak Harbor and South Whidbey, so that players and citizens from all three communities have a place they are able to play at. One positive outcome of this would be that it would help the high schools boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, especially because they have struggled for the past three years. This would give kids a place to develop their skills in the off season. Anthony Bergeron Coupeville
Appreciated
Treasurer’s office is thankful for volunteers Editor, I want to thank the group of volunteers in the Island County Treasurer’s Office. They tirelessly appeared week after week during property tax season to assist the staff in opening mail and preparing payments for processing. I was unable to attend this year’s Volunteer Appreciation Brunch on May 16, but nevertheless express heartfelt appreciation to Bob, Beulah, Maddy, Lionel, Betty, Janette, Jean, Margaret and Tom for their time and work on the behalf of the county. I apologize if I omitted anyone. Had it not been for this generous group, tax payment processing would be weeks behind. Everyone in Island County appreciates your volunteer service.

OBITUARIES
Wilborns
Elsie & Cramer Wilborn
Elsie Margaret Hendrix Wilborn, 83, of Oak Harbor, passed away Saturday, April 6, 2013. She was survived by her husband of 61 years, Cramer “Stretch” Wilborn. Elsie Wilborn was born in Knoxville, Tenn., on Dec. 18, 1930, to the late David B. Hendrix and Lida Rule Hendrix. She graduated from Sevier County High School and went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Tennessee. Elsie served as an OB/ GYN nurse for most of her career, 15 years, at the naval hospital at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station before retiring. She had a passionate regard for family planning services, staunchly supported women in having a voice in family planning and a decisive voice in their health. Elsie went back to school in Newark, N.J., in the early 1970s to become one of the country’s first nurse practitioners, pioneering new territory between the roles of doctor and nurse in the treatment of patients and in family planning services. She was married for 61 years to Cramer “Stretch” Wilborn, who recently passed away on March 27, 2014. She is survived by her four children, Michael Kay Wilborn (Katherine Hale) of Woodinville, Wash., Katherine Xina Barnes (David) of Jay, Fla., Linda Kay Fritsch (David) of Bremerton, Wash., and David Cramer Wilborn (Jessica Prince) of Mercer Island, Wash. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Michael Wright (Tracy), Jonathan Fritsch (Vanessa) and Rebecca Cain (Michael), and nine great-
grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, Elsie may be remembered through her life work in Planned Parenthood by way of donations made to International Planned Parenthood Federation/ Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF) — www. ippfwhr.org — a recognized international leader to ensure access to reproductive health care, especially for poor and vulnerable people, or through her passion for sewing by way of donations to Quilts of Valor, whose mission is to “cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing;” Quilts of Valor Foundation, P.O. Box 728 Lebanon, NH 03766. Cramer “Stretch” Wilborn, 92, of Oak Harbor, passed away Thursday, March 27, 2014. Cramer Wilborn was born in Bannister, Va., on March 17, 1922, to the late Zorah Mitchell Wilborn and Florence Virginia Cramer Wilborn. He was married 61 years to the late Elsie Margaret (Hendrix) Wilborn, who passed away last year, April 6, 2013, at age 83. He graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in December 1942. Cramer went on to get his pilot’s license from Feraldo’s Flying Service in August 1948, which shaped his career and life. Fondly known to friends and family as “Stretch,” Cramer started his career in aviation when he joined the Navy in September 1942, serving 20 years as an aircraft mechanic aboard many aircraft carriers during both WWII and the Korean War and served at Whidbey Island under Heavy Attack Squadron Eight (VAH-8), before retiring a chief petty officer in December of 1964. He later served in a civilian capacity at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station as head of the jet mechanics lab from 1967 until his second retirement. Stretch also taught airframes and power-plants at Skagit Valley College. Stretch logged thousands of hours of flight time in dozens of different aircraft. His passion was intoxicating to anyone fortunate enough to share the cockpit with him. He is survived by four children, Michael Kay
Wilborn (Katherine Hale) of Woodinville, Katherine Xina Barnes (David) of Jay, Fla., Linda Kay Fritsch (David) of Bremerton and David Cramer Wilborn (Jessica Prince) of Mercer Island. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Michael Wright (Tracy), Jonathan Fritsch (Vanessa) and Rebecca Cain (Michael), and nine greatgrandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to National Naval Aviation Museum, where a memorial to his name will honor his life achievements in aviation, which he befriended in his last days, keeping his spirits up to the end. https://secure. qgiv.com/for/namfcim Memorial services for Elsie and Cramer are 2 p.m. May 24 at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, 555 S.E.

Overcoming struggles, CHS baseball team qualifies for state tournament
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
At the beginning of the season, the seniors on the Coupeville High School baseball team said, without hesitation, they would win the state 1A championship this spring. That prediction appeared shaky when the Wolves struggled through the regular season. The pledge, however, earned more merit when the Wolves won twice in the tri-district playoffs Saturday, May 17, to qualify for the state tournament. Coupeville won a 1-0 heartpounder over Overlake/Beak Creak in eight innings at Bellingham’s Sehome High School, then claimed third place by stopping Charles Wright/Life Christian Academy 6-3 at Meridian High School later that afternoon. Third was the best Coupeville could accomplish at tri-district after finishing second in the district tournament last week. Two district champions, South Whidbey and Bothell’s Cedar Park Christian, were automatically placed in the tri-district title game. Cedar Park won 5-2 Saturday. By placing third, Coupeville earned its first state trip since 2008 and a short ride to Anacortes, along with Cedar Park. The second and fourth seeds from tri-district (South Whidbey and CW/LCA) travel to Castle Rock, and the fifth seed, Overlake, journeys to Moses Lake. The Wolves (14-10) will play eighth-ranked Evergreen Conference champion Rochester (16-6) at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 24, in a loser-out game. If they win, they will play the winner of Cedar Park (18-2) and Hoquiam (15-8) at about 4 p.m. for the regional title. The regional champ qualifies for the final four in Yakima and will play May 30 and 31. In the bottom of the eighth inning in the thrilling win over Overlake, Kurtis Smith looped a two-out single in front of the Growler right fielder that enabled speedster Jake Tumblin to race home from second base to secure
Coupeville a spot in the state tournament. Smith’s heroics were set up by a gutsy pitching effort by Ben Etzell. Etzell threw a completegame three-hitter, striking out 12 and walking five. Nine of the strikeouts came with runners in scoring position as he pitched out of trouble in each of the final four innings. Overlake’s biggest threat came in the seventh. Three walks, the last intentional, loaded the bases with one out, bring up the top of the Growler order. Etzell then fanned the next two batters, the last on a nail-biting 3-2 pitch. Overlake pitcher Matt Kaiser matched Etzell zerofor-zero until the eighth. He pitched a four-hitter, struck out seven and walked four. Smith and Etzell, who had a double, accounted for Coupeville’s four hits, getting two each. Until the eighth, the Wolves never had a base runner with less than two outs. At one stretch, from the

eighth, Schaef walked again. Tumblin hit a grounder to shortstop, which forced Schaef at second. The late throw to first to try to doubleup Tumblin skipped by the first baseman and allowed Tumblin to advance to second, setting up Smith’s gamewinning hit. Coupeville’s best chance to score earlier in the game came in the third with Smith and Etzell hit back-to-back two-out singles. Smith, however, slipped rounding third on Etzell’s hit and was nailed trying to scramble back to the base. Overlake (16-3) put runners on the corners with two outs in the third, but Etzell stopped the threat with a strike out. In the fifth, the Growlers received a lead-off walk and a one-out single, then a “K” and ground out to shortstop Josh Bayne ended the inning. An error and stolen base put an Overlake runner at second with one out in the sixth, then Etzell fanned the No. 4 and 5 hitters. In the top of the eighth, a lead-off single and error put a runner at second with no outs. Etzell, who threw well over 100 pitches, then
finished his day with three straight strikeouts. The last two with a runner on third after a passed ball. Had the game gone to the ninth inning, Coupeville coach Willie Smith said he would have turned to Aaron Trumbull to finish the game. Etzell admitted after the game he was spent. He also said he wasn’t concerned when he faced the basesloaded, one-out situation in the seventh, even though he put two of the runners on with walks. “I have the mind set that whenever runners get on second or third, I am not going to let them score.” Scoring came quickly for Coupeville in the win over Charles Wright/ Life Christian Academy of Tacoma. The Wolves scored four runs in the first inning. Tumblin led with a single, stole second, moved to third on a bunt and scored on Trumbull’s single. Bayne singled, and a passed ball moved the runners up a base. Aaron Curtin followed with a long double, scoring both. Curtin scored on Cole Payne’s base hit.
Charles Wright trimmed the lead to 4-3 in the sixth, then Coupeville scored two more. Bayne and Curtin singled and Korbin Korzan was hit by a pitch, loading the bases. Wade Schaef followed with a bunt that began a crazy sequence. The bunt scored Bayne and Schaef was safe at first when no one covered the base. On the bunt, Curtin tried to score from second and was thrown out. Schaef bolted for second base, and on the throw to second Korbin scored. Curtin finished 2-for3 with a double and three RBI, Etzell was 2-for-3 and the Wolves finished with nine hits. While the offense was putting up six runs, Coupeville pitcher C.J. Smith threw a complete-game five-hitter. The only trouble he had, according to coach Smith, was in the fifth when a single, walk and double with two outs plated two runs. The Wolves avoided more problems when catcher Tumblin gunned down the hitter at third trying to stretch the double into a triple.

Return engagement: Wolves earn trip to district By JIM WALLER Sports editor
It’s not often people spend Friday and Saturday in Sedro-Woolley trying to ensure a return trip. That’s exactly what the Coupeville High School softball team did, placing fourth in the district 1A playoffs, thus earning a berth in the tri-district tournament, which will also be played at Sedro-Woolley’s Janiki Playfields. After losing 15-7 in the district opener to Lynden Christian Friday, May 16, Coupeville qualified for tri-district by defeating Meridian 6-2 Friday and Nooksack Valley 3-2 Saturday. With a tri-district slot all sewn up and short on pitching, the Wolves dropped the game for third and fourth place 20-4 to Blaine Saturday. At tri-district, Coupeville will play the No. 3 seed out of District 3 at noon Saturday, May 24, in a loserout game. If the Wolves win, they will need to win one of the next two games (2 and 4 p.m.) to advance to the state tournament. In the win over Meridian, Coupeville slugged 12 hits, including four doubles. Emily Coulter finished 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI; Maddi Strasburg was 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run; Hailey Hammer went 2-for-3 with an RBI and run; and Madi Roberts was 2-for-4 with a run. The Wolves’ other hits were Bailey’s double and singles by Haley Sherman and Bree Messner. Pitcher McKayla Bailey threw a complete game seven-hitter, strik-

ing out four and walking none. She retired the final 11 Trojan batters. The win over Nooksack Valley guaranteed Coupeville a tri-district berth, and the Wolves’ defense was the hero. Bailey battled through a sore, weary arm to strand 10 Pioneer base runners and her mates helped by turning three double plays. The game fittingly ended on a twin killing. Nooksack, down 3-1, started the seventh with back-toback singles. A sacrifice fly scored one run and advanced the tying run to second. On the next pitch, the Pioneer hitter lofted a fly ball to right fielder Monica Vidoni. After the catch, Vidoni fired a perfect one-hop strike to third baseman Emily Licence to gun down the runner trying to advance. Game over. Coupeville escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second on a 1-2-3 double play. In the fourth, Nooksack loaded the bases again. This time first baseman Hammer snared a line drive and doubled the runner off first. Hammer led the offense with two hits, including a double and RBI. Messner added two singles and a run batted in, and Coulter had an RBI double. After emotionally draining wins over Meridian and Nooksack Valley, the Wolves ran out of gas against Blaine. Twice in the loss, Coupeville coaches David and Amy King tried to give Bailey a break from the circle, but both times the relief pitchers could not find the strike zone
Students should meet in Wildcat Way with their completed and approved clearance card at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 27, for check in. The athletic office is open on school days from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 360-2795850.

and Bailey was forced to return. To compound matters, Bailey took a line drive off the thigh and another off her left wrist in the middle innings, according to David King. “She was a warrior all weekend,” he said. In all, the Wolves gave up 10 walks. Five came consecutively in the second inning when the Borderittes struck for eight runs. Three walks started Blaine’s six-run fifth inning. Coupeville collected only three hits: a double by Bailey and singles by Hammer and Messner. Against Lynden Christian, Strasburg blasted a bases-loaded home run over the center field fence in the first inning to score Coupeville’s first four runs and more than counter the three runs the Lyncs scored in the top half of the inning. Later in the inning, Licence hit a two-run double in the gap. The first 10 Coupeville batters reached base as the Wolves scored seven runs. From there, the offense inexplicably died and only three of the final 20 batters in the game got aboard. Strasburg singled in the second, Roberts doubled in the third and Bailey singled in the fourth for the only other base runners in the game for the Wolves. The final 11 hitters went down in order. Coupeville still led 7-6 heading into the sixth, then the Lyncs pushed across seven runs on four hits, three walks and two errors to pull away.

Contest captures islands’ scenery Camano Island photographer’s image will adorn cover of calendar By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
A shadowy image of Mount Baker at sunrise was the winning photo in the first annual Whidbey Camano Land Trust Calendar Photo Contest. The image, shot by Camano
Island photographer Kevin English as he looked across Utsalady Bay, was one of 325 submitted by 65 different people for the contest that featured scenic landscapes and wildlife on Whidbey and Camano islands. “It definitely surpassed my expectations,” said Janelle Castro, outreach manager for the land trust who started the photo contest. “For the first year, you never know how it’s going to go.” Thirteen images were selected by a panel of judges to be displayed prominently in the 2015 Whidbey
Camano Land Trust calendar. English’s shot will grace the cover of the calender, while the others will be shown each month of the year. The images capture the seasons and scenic landscapes of Whidbey and Camano islands, as well as some wildlife. “There are three bird photos,” Castro said. English’s shot was picked as the cover photo because it embodied the characteristics of Whidbey and Camano the judges were looking for, Castro said.
“It really captures island life,” she said. “You have water. You have a boat. You have mountains. You have the forest there. It’s sunrise. All of those components capture so much of the natural beauty here on the islands that we all cherish.” The Whidbey Camano Land Trust is celebrating its 30th anniversary year. The plan is for the calendar to be ready in time for the land trust’s anniversary celebration Aug. 16 at the Camp Casey Conference Center in Coupeville.

RESCUED CONTINUED FROM A1 doors wouldn’t open,” Chidsey said. “So I went in … and I swam up, pulled the back door. I was underwater, pulled it open … and all this water and air rushed out, along with him, and he made it.” The driver said he was heading to the Keystone ferry on his way to Port Angeles when he took a sharp turn in the road too fast. “I just went into the water,” he said. “I braked, but didn’t brake that well, and I went straight into the water.” Barski said he was stopped on Keystone Avenue when he saw the driver heading towards the turn at an estimated 40 to 50 mph. Barski said he looked away for a moment, then heard a crash as the car hit the water. When he looked back, Barski said the car was already partially submerged. “When people were coming, I stopped them,” Barski said. “One lady tried to open the door and she couldn’t. Then, that gentleman (Chidsey) came over. The car was already submerged when he came, so he dove and opened the door and got the guy out.” Barski said he tried to help too, but was unable to. “So the guy saved his life,” Barski said. “(The driver) would be ‘done.’ He was completely closed in the water, so … (Chidsey) saved his life.”
The driver will be issued a ticket for $175, said Washington State Patrol Officer Dave Martin, the collision officer in charge of the scene. Martin said the driver will be charged with an infraction for driving at “speed too fast for conditions.” That is the lowest ticket Martin said he could issue. Under similar circumstances, a second-degree negligence infraction could be issued. This is not the first accident of this kind to happen at the intersection of the highway and Keystone Avenue. “This is getting to be a common occurrence,” said Island County Deputy Sheriff Rob Davison, who also responded to the call. Davison said the most recent accident at the scene he is aware of occurred this past winter. Martin added he knows of three or four similar accidents in this area. The driver, Martin said, is lucky there was a witness. The water in the quarry is deep enough that the submerged car was invisible from the road, Martin said, adding it would have taken another accident in that same pond for them to discover what had happened, had there been no witness. The car was pulled from the water Friday afternoon by Christian’s Towing with help from a certified diver, Pete Pehl.

Grone not surprised by firing By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Wanda Grone said she wasn’t surprised when she was fired last week. Grone, a Coupeville resident, was the chief deputy treasurer in Island County for more than three years. Last Monday, she filed to run against her boss in this fall’s election. GRONE: Sure enough, Now’s the time Treasurer Ana for all good Maria Nunez fired men to come to her on Thursday. the aid of their Grone said she was island. called to the human resources office, where Nunez terminated her employment. Grone said she knew she was risking losing her job as a result of her decision. As second-in-command at the office, Grone was an at-will employee and could be fired without cause. Still, she said she felt strongly that a
change needs to be made and that she is the person to do it. “I truly believe that elected officials are there to serve the people,” she said. “They need to be responsive, they need to be hard working and they need to have an attitude that they’re here to serve others. Grone said she was allowed to say goodbye to people in the office before leaving. Nunez is a Democrat and Grone is running as a Republican. Coupeville resident Christa Canell, a Republican, also filed to run for treasurer. She works at Land Title and Escrow. Canell said she also sees a need for change in the treasurer’s office. Nunez said she was shocked to learn that Grone is running against her, and especially that she didn’t warn her beforehand. Nunez said she needs to be able to trust her chief deputy as a confidant and she felt she no longer could. Nunez’s actions were not unprecedented. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks fired his Chief Criminal Deputy Steve Selby in 2006 after Selby filed to
EMERSON CONTINUED FROM A1 the race. Dolores Gilmore, of Port Orchard, is running as a Democrat. Emerson said she and her husband, Ken, currently have houses in Oak Harbor, Camano Island and Bremerton, though they may be looking to reduce their real estate holdings. As a county commissioner, Emerson was controversial from the start. She filed a lawsuit against the county and a former commission-
er after the Island County Planning Department slapped a stop-work order on a backyard project her husband was building without a permit. The Emersons lost their lawsuit. They later settled the $37,000 in fines and fees they owed the county by paying a $5,000 fine. Emerson initially described herself as a leader in the Tea Party movement in Washington state, but

later claimed she was never involved in the Tea Party. While Emerson is apparently distancing herself from her Tea Party roots, a video of the former commissioner speaking at a 2011 Tea Party rally is posted online at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=fqe7h2J2S9k. “It was sad having to have to give up spending so much time with the Tea Party,” Emerson said in the video. Emerson also refers to the Tea Party candidates in the video as “our candidates.” On the board of commissioners, Emerson got into several verbal tussles with her colleagues. She was
stripped of her role as chairwoman after she attended a meeting — thus creating a quorum — in defiance of the commissioners’ agreement. Emerson was also criticized for missing meetings and leaving meetings early. She even left her last meeting early, after announcing her resignation. When asked whether she wanted to hear what her fellow commissioners wanted say, she replied, “I never have.” Yet she still had vocal supporters in the community, including followers of a conservative blog that’s served as her chief defender.

run without telling him. Like Nunez, Banks learned the about the candidacy from a Whidbey News-Times reporter. Banks won the election. Grone said she didn’t warn Nunez ahead of time about her intentions because she didn’t feel it was necessary to notify anyone before exercising her right to run for office. In addition, she said Nunez is “not approachable.” Nunez has been criticized for a backlog of unprocessed property tax supplements in her office. Part of the problem is Nunez’s absence from the office, Grone said. Grone said Nunez took a threemonth leave related to a family issue last year and always takes “at least a week off” for every holiday. “The county and its citizens deserve a full-time treasurer who responds promptly to communication from the public and cooperates with other county departments,” Grone wrote in a statement. Grone said she is a certified public accountant and a certified fraud examiner with more than 30 years of accounting and financial experience.

pital’s response because of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act’s, or HIPAA, protections on patient information. In an email, Rose said the hospital’s employee handbook states that patient and employee information is confidential. Attorney Michele EarlHubbard, a media law attorney with the Allied Law Group and an expert in government transparency, said HIPAA would not prevent the hospital from disclosing information. Earl-Hubbard said the hospital need not reveal patient
information to give the public information about what occurred. Earl-Hubbard said she also questions the confidentiality of employment information. “A hospital would be wise not to draft policies that require it to keep important public issues like this a secret,” Earl-Hubbard said. “And the hospital drafts such policies, so it can un-gag itself with a new policy.” Rose did comment on a separate criminal case eight years ago, when a paramedic was convicted of using hospital computers to hack into his girlfriend’s online accounts.

Island Transit holds grand opening for new shop By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
A little more than two years after breaking ground, Island Transit Main Base Facility held a ribbon-cutting Saturday. The ceremony officially opened the 54,588-squarefoot building. Island Transit hit the island roads in 1987 with five buses and 20 employees. The previous building, which was 6,000 square feet, was large enough at the time, but quickly became too small. Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose began applying for grants in 1996. In 2011, Island Transit was awarded a $17.92 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration State of Good Repairs program. Island Transit provided 20 percent in matching funds toward the $22.4 million project. “It’s really great to see the investment in transportation,” said Joe Downes, congressional staffer for U.S. Sen. Maria Campbell. “Especially in a time when that is becoming more and more of an issue, as gas prices go up, among other things.” Saturday’s opening included tours of the administration building. Decorated with the theme “Melodic Fog,” the administration building includes historical images of Island County, pictures showing the transition from the old building to the new one, construction pictures and furniture made from
six trees that were cut down at the site of the old building because of fungus. Cutting the trees “kind of broke our hearts,” Rose said, but added the trees were honored to the best of their ability. The need for a new transit facility was a pressing one, Rose said, with more than 130 employees and about 200 vehicles all squeezed into the old facility. “We see a lot of situations similar to what we had here at Island Transit,” said Richard Krochalis, the federal transit administrator for Region 10, which includes Island County. “Poor facilities, buses need maintenance.” Island Transit was able to receive the federal grant because of three Ps: “promotion, perseverance and professionalism,” Krochalis said. Island Transit Board of Directors Chairman Bob Clay said people wondered why he was so proud when he spoke about the new facilities being built. “I used to be embarrassed to go to our other facility … and embarrassed that our employees had such terrible, terrible facilities to work in,” Clay said. Now, Island Transit is located partially in Ebey’s Reserve, and its landscape includes many native plants and trees. Clay said green concrete and asphalt was used so that water will permeate through it and into the ground. “Everything here has a reflection of how we want to support our environment,”

he said. “It is very appropriate for this community to gather and support this new facility and celebrate what we’ve created,” said Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. “Island Transit has been a success story for this community for some time, and this new facility is really a testament to that legacy.” Michael Schanche, a representative from Congressman Rick Larsen’s office, read a letter from Larsen at the ceremony. “I’m going to keep working to make sure that transit gets its fair share, and that we keep investing in our roads, highways, bridges and transit,” Larsen said in his letter. “We may have gotten a new facility,” said Clay, “but there are lots of needs throughout our community, and certainly in this region, where other transit systems are having a heck of a hard time.” Clay said that he and others will definitely take Larsen up on his offer of support in future matters. Anyone unable to attend the grand opening, but who
Employees moved into the administration building in June 2013. Now that the administration, maintenance, fuel and wash buildings are all officially open, Rose said it’s “absolutely fabulous.” “Hallelujah. We’re in
