GOP turns in list of potential Emerson successors By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Island County Republicans made their recommendations to replace former county commissioner Kelly Emerson. Emerson gave a one-week notice on May 5 and subsequently filed to run for Kitsap County auditor. With the sudden vacancy, state statute requires that the resigning commissioner’s party — in this case, the GOP —put forth three names for possible selection by the remaining two commissioners, Republican Jill Johnson and Democrat Helen Price Johnson.

North Whidbey resident Becky Moss stands at the edge of property on the private road leading to her home. She says the road and trees would be decimated if a cell tower is raised in the woods behind her. Several trees are already marked with orange dots.
Neighbors making waves in opposition to AT&T cell tower
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Nancyjo Dzubay refuses to allow a 110-foot cell tower to be built in her back yard. “It’s literally going to be out my back door on the property line,” Dzubay said. “I’m super, super pissed.” Contractor SmartLink held a community meeting May 15 on behalf of AT&T Mobility Corporation, which wants to build a cell tower on the back of a property off Sleeper Road and Bottineau Place. Residents in the area received letters on May 8 informing them of the proposal. Dzubay said she’s not only concerned that the cell tower will destroy the scenic nature
of her property, but she also worries how the cell tower will affect the health of her family. “It’s going to radiate my children,” Dzubay said. “They are going to glow in the dark.” Dzubay, who lives under the flight path of aircraft based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, said the jets don’t bother her, but the constant humming from a cell tower will. Dzubay is not alone in her concerns. Nearby resident Becky Moss says she was told that construction of the cell tower would destroy Bottineau Place, the private road to her home, and probably disrupt her water and sewage service. “They said they’d fix it after,” Moss said. “This is my only driveway. I walk my son to
the bus stop along that road.” Several of the trees in the forested location have already been marked with orange dots for razing, which would be a tragedy, Moss said, because the area is home to white spotted owls. “We moved to the country because of the peace,” Moss said. “This is a quiet neighborhood. This affects me. It’s going to be in my front yard.” The location of the proposed cell tower, which would be on property leased from the resident at 505 E. Sleeper Road, falls within the Accident Potential Zone, or APZ II, associated with the Navy’s flight patterns identiSEE CELL TOWER, A15

OH schools get new websites By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Oak Harbor schools are getting an online makeover. The school district launched 10 new websites for itself, the district’s eight schools and HomeConnection. “Improving websites was the number one suggestion we received from our recent communications survey,” said Kellie Tormey, school communications coordinator, who is in charge of this project. It’s been more than eight years passed since the district’s websites were updated. Tormey said they really needed modernizing. “We’ve had numerous comments from families, as well as our own staff and students, that they aren’t user-friendly, that the information is, in many cases, not really relevant,” she said. “The access is difficult, it’s hard to find things. … It was just really important that we get the websites updated.” The new websites, featuring more streamlined designs, have many new and improved features. Highlights include an all-district event calendar, a rotating masthead with
images linking to “major feature” events throughout the district, intranet pages for district staff to share resources and a search option, which the old site did not have, Tormey said. Also new is adaptability for mobile devices. The new sites have a “responsive design” so it “automatically knows what kind of viewing device you’re on, and it will adapt its display and render perfectly with the device you’re using,” Tormey said. “The entire site was designed with feedback from the community,” Tormey said. “We based all of our decisions almost entirely on what we knew our users were looking for.” The school district worked with Schoolwires, a web provider that specializes in helping districts build and manage their websites. This project cost about $1,000 per site, according to Tormey. The money came from the operating budget. There will be an annual fee for Schoolwires to host the district’s new sites, which Tormey described as minimal. The district had not received their final invoice from Schoolwires as of press time Friday.

WIC, other groups relocate off base By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The Women Infants and Children’s program is among the groups who have moved or are being moved off Whidbey Island Naval Air Station as part of a national push. As the result of a Government Accountability Office audit, the federal government decided to stop paying for non-federal agencies to use buildings on base rent and utility free, according to Sheila Murray, public affairs officer for Navy Region Northwest Environmental. “They found that there were a lot of non-federal agencies using facilities on military bases,” Murray said. “People are using the facili-
ties for free and the taxpayer is footing the bill. “It’s a belt tightening measure.” The program, commonly referred to as WIC, faces the biggest challenge in its move off base, because it will be trying to serve an active duty population off base, according to WIC manager Wende Dolstad. While WIC is a federal health program, it is administered through states causing it to be categorized as a nonfederal entity. “WIC is a really helpful program and we want people to continue to participate,” Dolstand said. “We’re concerned some Navy families wouldn’t be as likely to participate.”
The NAS Whidbey WIC office, which is administrated out of Skagit County, serves approximately 800 Navy mothers and babies and the separate Island County WIC office services 970 mothers and babies under the age of 5. Dolstad said that a move off base will not likely change the Navy-centric nature of her clientele, but an off-base location would increase the program’s ability to help nonmilitary families. A recent survey given to her WIC clients about the imminent move revealed that most respondents said they want the office to stay a Navy-related program and if it can’t be located on base, they hoped it would stay near

base, she said. Dolstad said WIC has looked at four different locations off base, but officials have not yet found the right space. The Navy has given them a Sept. 30 deadline. The WIC program is funded on a per-person basis and Dolstad said it would take some creative budgeting to take on the additional overhead costs. Including WIC, four total organizations have moved or will move off base. Two groups that already vacated facilities on NAS Whidbey were the Whidbey Animal’s Improvement Foundation, or WAIF, and the Bowman Club, according to Mike Welding, public affairs officer at NAS Whidbey. Though he wasn’t around for the move last year, WAIF’s new executive director, Charles Vreeland, said that the organization lucked out with its partnership with the City of Oak Harbor. Similar to their arrangement on base, the city is picking up the rent and utility cost for the new location off of Goldie Road. Representatives with the Bowman Club, an archery group, could not be reached for comment. The fourth group, the PBY Memorial Foundation, is in the process of moving to the former Whidbey Furniture location on Pioneer Way with a soft opening planned for June 6.

Housekeeper steals from elderly client
Students simulate DUI accident By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Oak Harbor High School was the site of a mock-drunk driving car accident Friday, May 16. The event, sponsored by Students Against Drunk Driving, otherwise known as SADD, was an education event about the dangers of driving while intoxicated, and it included the Oak Harbor Fire Department, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, Whidbey General Hospital and the Oak Harbor Police Department. This accident was a staged rollover, and used actors with fake injuries created with makeup. “We had one car here laying on its top,” said Sherri Brown, a lieutenant for North Whidbey Fire and a paramedic for the hospital, “and we had one gal laying out in front of all the kids with blood everywhere, and it was fake blood of course ... and then we had two girls in the car that had moulaged injuries and we had a driver staggering around, acting drunk.” Brown said the girls were all students at the high school and very good actors. At the scene, the emergency service personnel treated it as much like a real accident scene as possible, while also making sure everything was visible to the students, she said. “We’ve all been to calls like this, so we all kind of know exactly what, where everybody’s going to be,” she said. This event is a regular event at the high school, according to the high school’s SADD club advisor Cynthia Allen. She said this is the fifth or sixth year it has been done. “We feel it’s important to see the effects of drinking and driving,” Allen said. She also said that SADD

An Oak Harbor housekeeper accused of stealing from her 91-year-old client is facing a list of felony charges, court documents state. Prosecutors charged Marcia D. Selch, 32, in Island County Superior Court May 21 with identity theft, possession of stolen property and 24 counts of forgery. The alleged victim reported that she was missing money from her bank account and suspected her housekeeper was writing checks on her account, according to the report by Office Manuel Silveira with the Oak Harbor Police

This year, the mock crash involved one fatality, two critically injured patients and a drunk driver, according to Brown. Emergency services “extricated them and attempted resuscitation on the patient that was deceased, with no success,” and the driver was arrested by the police and taken offscene, so she could be taken to the hospital for necessary medical attention, then jailed. “Parents are really grateful for it,” Brown said of the event, “and we’ve had reports back from kids who’ve told their parents about it, and then the kids are making good decisions when they do go out and
party, about driving and stuff. So yeah, it’s a good event. It’s a good thing to do.” Brown said this event is something to look forward to. “It’s always fun to be a part of it, it’s always fun to do,” she said. She hopes the outcome is that kids who do go out and drink will be educated enough to make smart decisions about driving. Another benefit, sometimes, is in the career path of a student, who may decide “it would be cool to be a part of that, a part of that crew,” said Brown. Looking forward to the event isn’t just limited to those involved in the scene, but to the students watching, as well, according to Allen. “I had a lot of students thank me Friday,” she said. “They got pretty choked up over it, and it’s definitely very real. It’s very emotional.” Allen said that some parents have given her feedback as well, saying “they’re defi-

The officer found that a total of 21 forged or altered checks, totaling $4,214, were made out to Selch from October of 2013 through January of 2014, Silveira wrote. The victim denied writing the checks and said the writing on the checks were not hers. The victim said she was on a fixed income and that the theft drained her savings. If convicted of the charges against her, Selch could face more than five years in prison.

All of Camano Island lost power between 8:45-11:40 a.m. this Thursday when a tractor knocked over the island’s main transmission pole, according to Neil Neroutsos, spokesperson
for Snohomish Public Utility District. The felled pole, which provides electricity to 10,750 customers on Camano, was located on the eastern side of the Mark Clark bridge.

Festival of arts May 30-31 By CELESTE ERICKSON Whdibey News Group
Creativity is in the air as students from all South Whidbey Schools are diving into new mediums and refining their skills for the upcoming Whidbey Festival of the Arts. Along with visual and literary art, the fourth annual festival will feature live performances from the middle and high school jazz bands. The festival will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 30, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 31. The South Whidbey School District, Whidbey Island Arts Council and South Whidbey Elementary School PTA produce the event. Professional and student work will be on display along with treats such as hot dogs, baked goods and beverages. For the first time, the South Whidbey Elementary School Talent Show will be held at the festival at 2 p.m. Saturday. Frank Rose, chairman of the council, said the program and culminating festival is vital because it exposes students to art they might not get at schools. Rose hopes to further develop the artists-in-residence program at the South Whidbey and Coupeville school districts. The program brings working artists into classrooms to teach lessons. The festival is a way
to showcase the good work the program brings to the school, he said. At South Whidbey High School, Don Wodjenski’s studio art class is hard at work finishing their pieces in time for the festival. The class is independently-driven as students can work on anything from watercolors and oil to clay and photography. He said he hopes students use the class to explore their own abilities. Artist-in-residence coordinator Betsy Gmerek teaches an art class at South Whidbey Elementary School about once a week. One of the projects she led this spring tied in information from another lesson the fifth-grade students were learning about early America. For the art project she taught the students how to make candlestick holders with clay. She waid she wanted to give students an idea of what life was like in the early days. She explained to the class that candles were taken from room to room at night when there was no lighting, and the candlestick holders were made to be functional and not decorative, which limited the students’ color and design choices. She said she hopes lessons that tie in other learning projects help students learn through art and creativity.
“Art is about observation,” she said. “We don’t want to put a lid on creative thinking.” She said she enjoys leading the students in art projects because it brings out a different side of kids that she wouldn’t normally see — some even keep working during recess. Gmerek said she is looking forward to the festival to showcase the skills of each child and to show the younger students that art is for everyone. “Everybody has artistic thinking,” she said. That message resonated with high school senior Joanna Cook when she attended the festival last year for the first time. She said seeing all the different types of artwork at the event inspired her to enter pieces for the first time. Cook said she never thought she was talented at art, but found ways to create pieces she enjoyed making. Cook has previously taken ceramics, drawing, 2-D and 3-D classes. For the festival, she started her clay pieces wanting to make decorative dishes, but became frustrated with the floral patterns. She then decided to focus on individual flowers for each piece and was happy with the result. “I love doing it even though I’m not good. It’s about passion,” she said. “Anybody can do art.”

There will be a guided tour of Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville at 1 p.m. Monday. The cost is $5 per person.
Cemetery tour on Monday By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Sally Straathof knows she has some big shoes to fill as tour guide of the Sunnyside Cemetery Memorial Day Heritage Tour. She is taking the lead on the guided tour this year, filling a role long held by Coupeville historian Roger Sherman. Sherman will be assisting Straathof, but said he’s decided it is time to pass on duties. He has groomed Straathof to be his successor over the years. This year’s tour starts at 1 p.m. Monday, May 26. Cost is $5 with proceeds benefiting the Island County Historical Society Museum. Sunnyside Cemetery is the resting place of many of Whidbey Island’s most influential pioneers. Straathof, a high school teacher and counselor at Concrete High School, has spent the past five summers as a historical inter-
preter for Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. She’s devoted a lot of time researching Whidbey’s early settlers, particularly the family of Isaac Ebey, who in 1850 took out Donation Land Claim and claimed 640 acres overlooking Admiralty Inlet. He become Whidbey Island’s first permanent white settler. During past cemetery tours, Straathof has spoken to visitors about the Ebey and Crockett families at their family plots. “The Ebeys and Crocketts were good friends and lived near each other in Missouri before they ever came out here,” Straathof said. History is all around Straathof at Sunnyside, including the presence of her mentor. For more than 90 years, Sherman’s family was a part of managing Sunnyside Cemetery. “He is very supportive of me and what I do,” Straathof said.

Weekend events remember those who sacrificed Every Memorial Day, speakers at ceremonies across the nation feel they have to explain what the point of the holiday is. Perhaps it’s the nonspecific name of “Memorial Day,” but many people have no idea who or what they are supposed to be commemorating. As the unofficial start of summer, the meaning sometimes gets lost amongst the barbecues and road trips. So let’s be clear. Memorial Day is a day set aside for the nation to remember the men and women who died while serving in the nation’s armed forces. These are the people who risked their lives, and ultimately died, for their comrades and for the entire nation. For you and I. It’s easy to say and hard for most of us to actually comprehend. Originally called “Decoration Day,” the holiday was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor those who died in the many terrible battles. Graves that proliferated across the many cities, towns and hamlets were marked with flowers or other ornaments. On Whidbey Island, the presence of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station means the day holds even greater significance. Last year, three members of Electronic Attack Squadron 129 died when the EA-6B Prowler crashed in Eastern Washington. The pilot, Lt. Valerie Delaney, 26; flight officer, Lt. William Brown McIlvaine III, 24; and instructor, Lt. Cmdr. Alan Patterson, 34, all lost their lives. The Navy community also lost five members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 11 in Iraq. Memorial Day is marked with events both solemn and lively on Whidbey. Coupeville’s Memorial Day parade starts at 11 a.m. Saturday on South Main Street. Central Whidbey Lions will be grilling free hot dogs and also giving away sodas starting at 1 p.m. A Memorial Day service will be held 10 a.m. Monday at Maple Leaf Cemetery in Oak Harbor. It will be followed by another ceremony at historic Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville at noon. The ceremonies are hosted by the American Legion Post 129, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 and the Fleet Reserve. Join us in expressing our gratitude to those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Allegations
Assertions against WGH nurse are ‘unfounded’ Editor, We live on a beautiful island, but that does not protect us against certain harsh realities such as the difficult and sometimes even violent episodes that are becoming increasingly common in health care. Nationally, incidents of combative patients who instigate violence against hospital staff have been on the rise and ,sadly, Whidbey General is not immune from this trend. Violent patients require one-on-one care and may erupt with verbal or physical assault without warning, often requiring physical intervention to protect patient and staff from harm. We believe that allegations against a Whidbey General nurse, reported by the Whidbey News-Times on May 21, are unfounded. The nurse mentioned in the complaint has more than 30 years of experience, has cared for thou-
sands of patients and has never been accused of any inappropriate behavior toward any patient. Because of this, the nurse is currently working. RCW 42.46.230(2) provides that the following personal information is exempt from public inspection and copying under the Public Disclosure Act: Personal information in files maintained for employees, appointees or elected officials of any public agency to the extent that disclosure would violate their right to privacy. Additionally, patient privacy laws prohibit disclosure of any information that includes personal identifying information. Particularly in a small town, even a general description would potentially allow identification of the individual involved. In Washington state, patients are protected both by federal law (HIPAA) and state law. There is no exception under 45 CFR 164.501-534 that allows disclosure of patient medical information because a complaint has been filed. Likewise, there is no exception under RCW 42.56.360. We are willing to cooperate fully with law enforcement, although there
has been no known inquiry from the (Coupeville) Marshal’s Office. While we cannot and will not violate privacy laws to publicly fill out details from this incident, we are confident that our nurse is innocent and that our communications with the press were appropriate and in compliance with all laws. Tom Tomasino Chief Executive Officer Whidbey General Hospital

has never been impaired. I was never afraid of the planes because I was educated they are here to protect us. I never lose sleep when they fly. Having grown up with the planes flying, hearing the sounds comfort me. I have told people who live off the island these things. The ones who do not like the planes tried to tell me no, I have adjusted. Maybe I have, but if you truly love the island you should have adjusted now also. I was speaking to my mom, who is married to a Navy man, about a conversation she had with someone the other day. She had spoken with someone who did not realize my stepdad actually works on the planes that fly out there, and this person didn’t realize that, by taking away OLF, we would be sending pilots away from their families for an unnecessary amount of time. There are very few touch-and-go strips on the West Coast and we should appreciate the fact that we have one and don’t have to send dads, husbands, wives, moms and so on away from their families for more than they already have to be away. This may offend people, but honestly, I think some of you need to hear it from someone who loves this island and all things that come with it. Thank you to all (who are) in the Navy, I appreciate you. Madeline Roberts Coupeville
Flying American Flag upside down is childish Editor, Thank you for the great editorial. There are many, many people in Central Whidbey who welcome the planes flying at Outlying Field Coupeville. It is not just North Whidbey residents and North Whidbey shopkeepers wanting the field to remain open so pilots can get the training they deserve.
The planes go over my home as they have for many years. We want the men and women in all branches of the military, no matter where they are, to have as much training as possible. Our sleep goes on, the deer in our yard pay no attention, eagles sitting on our barn just seem to not care how low the protestors claim they fly, and they certainly do not fly as low as they say. Certainly the COER group had a right to protest about almost anything. That is a right in our country, but flying our flag upside down takes away any respect we had for members of that group. It was very childish. It would have taken just a small amount of knowledge to know that an airstrip means planes, a railroad probably has trains going by blowing whistles and a lake could host personal watercraft and water skiers. Common sense should prevail when purchasing a home. Mary Boyer Coupeville
Retiring
Island Drug owner, wife heading to the desert Editor, With just a little reluctance at leaving the community that has been home for dozens of years, my wife Linda and I begin a new chapter in our lives by moving to the Las Vegas area. We both have worked practically nonstop — Linda at Del Jen and federal service at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and I as the former owner of the best allaround drug store on Whidbey Island, Island Drug. They say we become what we do, and that is absolutely true in my case. Each day I’d go to the store with a fresh commitment to serve the men and women of North Whidbey. A piece of paper signed by a doctor would arrive in my hands. Dozens in a day, in fact. My job as owner/pharmacist of Island Drug was to see prescriptions were prepared exactly as written.
QUESTION
OF THE WEEK:
I counted more than a few birthdays since becoming owner of Island Drug in 1986, so you can truthfully say we have grown older together. But calendars tell only part of the story. Our service benefited folks from various backgrounds who shared the goal of getting better and staying well. Talking one-on-one with thousands of you over the years was reassuring to both sides. The ancient tradition of dispensing medicine demands focus, to the exclusion of any distractions, and when a customer got back on his feet, we were proud to have had a part in his recovery. The population of North Whidbey grew and changed, but customers kept coming back for that nostalgic experience of stepping inside an oldtime drugstore, a place to talk to your neighbors, share laughter and local news. Retirement sure sounds good right about now. As Linda and I head south to live our sunset years in the desert, we will keep our many Whidbey friends in our thoughts. That’s a promise. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. William (Bill) Bulpin, Pharmacist Oak Harbor
Emerson
What descriptive term best fits Kitsap Kelly? Editor, I see that former Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson is going somewhere else to try for another job without finishing her job here.

OBITUARIES
Joki
Judith Joki (Screws) Mrs. James A. Joki
Judi passed away unexpectedly on May 17, 2014. She was born on July 1, 1943 to Commander Frank Screws and Edna Bazemore Screws. She was a proud Navy brat, who was fortunate to have lived in several different states, of which Hawaii was her favorite. Judi graduated from Oak Harbor High and attended Western Washington University. She then moved
to Seattle, where she began her favorite job as secretary and head of camp-development fundraising for the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America. During a summer camp visit at Camp Omache, she met the love of her life, Eagle Scout and aquatics director, James “Jim” A. Joki. They were married in 1965 and spent their honeymoon driving to Texas in their 1965 Ford Mustang, where Jim began his job working for NASA to put the man on the moon. While in Texas, they had their three children, James, Jennifer and Jacqueline. In 1975 Judi and her family moved to Kansas. There Jim completed medical school and residency. In 1979, the family returned to Seattle. Judi was then able to fulfill her dream of returning to college to study geology and participate in geological digs. Judi was happiest with a house full of kids. It didn’t matter if they were her own, familys’, friends’ or neighbors’. She loved being with family, and her grandchildren were a special joy to her. She also treasured time spent traveling and camping with her husband in their RV. Judi was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Trojan; and inlaws, Ole and Beryl Joki. She is survived by her loving husband, James A. Joki; children, James Massond Joki, his daughter Brittany, and her husband, Spencer; Jennifer Christine Joki and her sons, Declan and Nolan and their
father, Christopher Scott; Jacqueline Rene Daane and her husband, Scott and their children, Jacob, Victoria, and Sebastian; her sisters and their husbands, Valera and Sandy Wilson and India and Jim Manwaring; and her sisterin-law and husband, Judy and Alan Hutchison.

Wildcat senior nears end of outstanding Oak Harbor High School golfing career
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
In the backyard of Oak Harbor High School’s Joanna Leete’s home sits a trampoline --- and a golf course. Since the 10th tee at the Whidbey Golf Club is only a long putt from the Leete property, it isn’t surprising the Wildcat senior became a golfer. She, however, didn’t take to the game right away. With her mother, Juli Leete, a good high school golfer during her prep days, continually prodding her daughter to give it a try, Joanna began playing in the eighth grade. Now, five years later, Joanna Leete is perhaps the best female golfer in Oak Harbor High School history. Leete owns a 79-stroke average per 18-hole round this year. Unless disaster strikes at this year’s state meet next week, Leete will break Lisa Wasinger’s 1996 school record of 81 strokes per round. Wasinger (now Johnson) went on to become an allconference golfer at Gonzaga University and is now the University of Idaho’s women’s coach. Leete holds the record for lowest round, shooting a 70 last spring at the district tournament. That wiped away a 39-year-old school record of 74 shot by Eve Patterson in 1974. Leete won the district individual championship earlier this week, becoming the first Wildcat to win multiple titles. Leete hopes to add to her legacy with a strong showing at the state tournament Wednesday and Thursday, May 28 and 29, at the Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland. “My goal this year is to be in the top three,” Leete said. “I hope to shoot in the 70s, maybe in the lower range.” Leete qualified for state all four years, though she didn’t compete in the meet her freshman year while attending her brother’s graduation from the United States Naval Academy. As a sophomore she placed 23rd, and last season she finished ninth, second-best for a Wildcat to Wasinger’s eighth in 1996. When Leete began playing in the eighth grade, she

Oak Harbor’s Joanna Leete stands near the 10th tee box at the Whidbey Golf Club. Leete, whose home sits next to the tee, is nearing the end of her record-setting career at Oak Harbor High School. “picked up the game really fast,” she said. “I started enjoying it more and more as my scores started getting lower,” she added. Leete’s initial sporting love was basketball, but golf took over because “I like being able to control my own destiny,” she said. She didn’t abandon basketball, however. She was a four-year letter winner for the Wildcats and led the team in scoring the past two years. “Being a multiple-sport athlete definitely helps my golf,” she said. She also bristles at the assumption that one doesn’t have to be athletic to be a good golfer: “People underestimate the amount of athleticism it takes to play.” Leete also started for the Oak Harbor soccer team for two years but reluctantly gave up the sport to focus on golf. “I needed to narrow the sports I was going to play. It was hard because I loved all the sports.” Her love for golf, however, wavered last summer. An injury in off-season basketball forced her off the course and her game suffered as a result. She decided to finish up her high school career and not try to play collegiately. She was accepted to
Eastern Washington University and planned to enjoy the student-only experience. She picked Eastern because she became familiar with the campus while attending summer basketball camp there, likes the idea of being near Spokane and likes how the school embraces its athletic programs. “They are into their football team; I want to be enveloped into that atmosphere.” Once her final high school golf season began, the fire for the sport was rekindled. Eastern graduate Justin Ronning, physical educational instructor at Crescent Harbor Elementary and an assistant with the OHHS basketball program, heard Leete was attending EWU and contacted his friend, Eagle women’s golf coach Brenda Howe, letting her know one of the state’s top prep golfers was going to be attending her school. Howe was more than happy to add Leete to her program, but since it was so late in the recruiting process, no scholarship money remained. Howe encouraged Leete to walk on with a chance to win a scholarship in the future. Leete accepted the invitation and is looking forward to the opportunity.
Oak Harbor High School coach Andy Wesley is proud of his pupil: “It’s been fun watching her improve the past four years. “She is really driven to do well. She’s dialed in and should have a good state tournament.” Leete doubts her passion for golf will wane again, but if it does, she can always take up the trampoline.
Leete, Roderos shine at district For the second consecutive spring, Leete easily won the individual title at the 3A District 1 Girls Golf Tournament. This year she led the field by 12 strokes at the Snohomish Golf Course Tuesday and Wednesday, May 20 and 21, to earn her fourth straight state berth. Teammate Bree Roderos also qualified for state, placing fourth at district. She was 52nd at state last year. The first day of the district tournament determined the team champion, and Oak Harbor slipped to fifth out of 11 teams. Ferndale of the Northwest Conference took the team title with 469 strokes. The Wildcats shot 542, finishing
behind three Wesco schools they defeated last week while winning the conference meet. Leete fired rounds of 76 and 75 for a 151. Shorecrest’s Audrey Penner finished second at 163. Roderos carded rounds of 89 and 87 to finish one stroke out of third at 176. Oak Harbor nearly sent three golfers to state, but Resego Mooki lost in a threeway playoff for the 16th and final berth. On the playoff hole, Mooki’s “putt rolled all away around the lip of the cup,” Wesley said. “It was heartbreaking.” Mooki shot a pair of 99s for a 198 and will be an alternate to the state tournament. Marisa Sligh also made the first-day cut and finished 27th with a 208 (108, 100). Hailey Beecher (114) and Tarra Baird (124) did not make the cut after the first round.
Kerfoot earns another state trip Oak Harbor’s Mac Kerfoot has a flair for the dramatic. For the second consecutive year, Kerfoot had to win a playoff at district Tuesday, May 20, to secure a spot in the boys state golf tourna-
ment. District 1 is allocated 14 slots into the state tournament, and Kerfoot and Marysville Getchell’s Gage St. John were tied for the last berth after two days of play at the Everett Golf and Country Club. St. John held a four-stroke lead (78-82) over Kerfoot after Monday’s action, then the Wildcat shot an 83 to St. John’s 87 to force a tie. In the first hole of the sudden death playoff, Kerfoot bogeyed to top St. John, who three-putted the hole. Kerfoot clipped a tree on his approach shot, punched out and then chipped within a foot of the hole to set up the win. Oak Harbor’s Hunter Adams finished 18th, shooting a 168, three shots from qualifying for state. He carded a solid 81 the second day, passing five opponents, but had “too many strokes to make up,” coach David Smith said. Adams shot 87 Monday. Steven Timm finished 23rd with a 173 (84-89), and Mason Dieter was 36th at 189 (93-96). Kerfoot, a junior, placed 46th at state last spring. The 2014 state tournament is Wednesday and Thursday, May 28 and 29, at the TriMountain Golf Course in Ridgefield.
Fields qualifies for state meet Christine Fields continued one trend and would like to reverse another. Fields, Coupeville High School’s only golfer, placed fifth out of 36 at the tri-district 1A golf tournament Tuesday, May 20, at Bremerton’s Golf Mountain Golf Course to continue her run of state tournament appearances. Each year at tri-district, she improved one spot, placing seventh as a freshman and sixth as a sophomore. This spring she shot an 87 to nab fifth. The junior is making her third straight state trip, and it’s there she would like to reverse direction. As a freshman, she finished eighth, but last year she dipped to 15th. The state tournament is Wednesday and Thursday, May 28 and 29, at the Lake Spanaway Golf Course.

Carroll receives Coach of Year honor Leads Snohomish to state semifinals
Saturday, May 24, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times
SPORTS IN BRIEF Rodeheffer earns trip to state meet
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Oak Harbor’s Katie Carroll was named the Washington Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association Coach of the Year Friday, May 16. Carroll led Snohomish to a 12-3 record, the North Sound Conference championship and the state semifinals. Along the way, her club defeated defending state champion Lakeside and traditional powers Bainbridge Island and Mercer Island. The previous two years her team went 10-5 and 9-5 and reached the state quarterfinals. “I am really honored,” Carroll said. “There are some very strong coaches in the group.” Carroll grew up playing lacrosse in Baltimore and then continued at Georgetown University, where she lettered four years and helped the Hoyas to four consecutive Big East Tournament berths and three NCAA trips, reaching the quarterfinals in 2006. The Snohomish team, which includes players from Snohomish, Glacier Peak, Archbishop Murphy and Monroe high schools, is the closest varsity program to Oak Harbor. Although Snohomish is “definitely a ways away,” Carroll said, it gave her a chance to continue to be involved in lacrosse. She learned by “word of mouth” of

Katie Carroll, right, works with one of her players in practice this spring. Carroll was selected the Coach of the Year by the Washington Lacrosse Association. Snohomish and of “a pilot who played club lacrosse at the Naval Academy that was working temporarily with them.” Since her husband was deployed that spring, she had the time to commit to the program, so when the head coaching job opened, she applied. The long drive to Snohomish was “bizarre,” she said. On the East Coast, she added, “In a hour-and-a-half I would be two states and three metropolitan areas away.” This was her third and final year leading Snohomish. Her husband is being transferred and they are moving
out of the area. Carroll said it was a natural time to step down, as well, because her team had 12 seniors she worked with throughout their varsity careers. Carroll isn’t sure if she will pursue a coaching job at her new home. “It’s very time consuming, more than just showing up to practice and just playing,” Carroll said. She said with coaching, commuting and playing in an adult league in Seattle, she didn’t have much free time. “I might just rest instead.”
A Four-Legged Spring
By placing second in the 1,600 meters at the district track meet Wednesday, May 21, at Shoreline Stadium, Oak Harbor High School’s John Rodeheffer earned a return trip to the state meet. Finals in five boys and four girls events, along with a number of preliminaries, were completed Wednesday. The meet concluded Friday, May 23, but results were not available at press time. The top three in each event qualify for the state meet, and the Wildcats’ Taylor Deconzo just missed a spot in the girls javelin, placing fourth with a 110-05. Rodeheffer, who placed sixth in the state 3,200 last spring, ran the 1,600 in 4:24.96, losing to Shorecrest’s Omar Abdulla by three tenths of a second. In other boys finals action, Tyler Adamson placed seventh in the shot put (4401.5) and Diangelo McKinney 13th in the long jump (17-06.5). In the girls finals, Alex Laiblin (5:17.23) and Jonalynn Horn (5:22.09) ran sixth and eighth in the 1,600. Hayley Lundstrom (15-02) was 12th and Priya Osborne (14-11.5) 13th in the long jump.
Stone reaches tri-district finals Makana Stone placed among the top eight in two events at the tri-district track meet preliminaries at King’s Thursday, May 22, and earned spots in the finals. The finals begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 24, at King’s. Stone finished third in the 400 meters (59.48) and sixth
in the 200 (27.06). The first five in each event in the finals qualify for the state meet, which is May 30 and 31 at Eastern Washington University in Cheney. The finals in the tridistrict shot put where held Thursday, and Coupeville freshman Skyler Lawrence placed 13th (28-08).
Wildcats fall in district tennis The Oak Harbor High School entrants in the 3A District 1 Tennis Tournament were eliminated the first day of the competition, Tuesday, May 20, at Stanwood. In singles play, Makenzie Perry dropped her opening match 6-2, 7-6(7-5) to the eventual champion, then lost 6-4, 6-3. Oak Harbor’s doubles team of Faith Franssen and Caterina Amsler fell 6-1, 6-2 in round one and then 6-0, 6-1 in the consolation bracket.
WGC hosts annual Men’s Invitational A local Memorial Day weekend tradition, the 49th annual Whidbey Golf Club Men’s Invitational, returns to Oak Harbor at 7 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25.

It’s been a long winter, but spring is finally here. The weather is warming up and it’s time to get outside. You have probably spent a lot of time inside for the past few months, and so has your dog. While transition from winter to spring may come easy for you, your dog is going to need a little help. Unless you kept your regular workout routine at the gym, you probably packed on a few pounds during the winter. This is probably true for your dog as well. All those days curled up at your feet instead of running in the park have caused Fido to put on some winter fat. It’s easy to open the front door and let
him take off, but like humans, it’s always a good idea to consult a physician before starting any exercise program. A trip the veterinarian is the first step in preparing your pooch for spring. There are many reasons to start spring with a trip to the vet besides concerns over those winter pounds. Heartworm is a serious disease a dog can contract. If the winter was mild and the spring is rainy, mosquitoes can flourish and these little pests can spread the disease. A simple blood test can determine if your dog has heartworm, and if so, treatment can begin right away. A less serious, but very annoying condition is

fleas. Spring is a great time to check for fleas and a trip to the vet will uncover this condition as well. While at the veterinarian, also make sure all of Fido’s vaccinations are up to date. Once the vet has checked your dog’s inside, think about preparing their outside. Spring is the perfect time for a good grooming. Also, check your dog’s collar and lease. Make sure they’re still in good condition and their tags are intact and accurate. Next, give some thought to where your dog will be running. Like humans, a dog that has been spent all winter indoors is ready to run. Make you’re your dog’s excitement doesn’t

get the best of them. Can they be trusted to run free or should they be fenced in until the excitement of spring is over? Many people treat their lawns and gardens in the spring. If you’re among this group, make sure no harmful chemicals exist in the yard or garden that could be toxic to your dog. If you are having your lawn professionally treated, make sure you know how long your dog needs to stay off it until it’s safe. Spring is a great time to be outdoors, and if your dog could talk, they would probably agree. Make sure Fido is ready to enjoy the warm weather by following the suggestions above.

If your pet’s health is ailing, limiting the amount of time that they spend anxious or distressed can keep them more comfortable and can actually prolong their life.

Tent caterpillars munching their way across Whidbey Island

It’s toxic to insects but can be used safely in agricultural applications. Ace Hardware in Oak Harbor is getting plenty of customers coming in seeking caterpillar remedies, said James Schestner, who works in the gardening center. “This year, it’s a lot worse,” Schestner said of the caterpillar outbreak. “I walk to work and just about every fruit tree I see about seven to 10 nests if they’re uncared for. Ones that are cared for, I see two or three.” A popular choice at the store is the Safer Brand Caterpillar spray, a concentrate that contains bacillus thuringiensis. At Home Depot, the product most customers are buying is Sevin, a spray that contains the insecticide carbaryl, Beargeon said. Carol Goldberg, a former biology teacher from Oak Harbor who also speaks on the topic of environmentally-friendly gardening practices, doesn’t like either. “It kills the good insects, too,” she said. “They’re all part of the cycle.” There are some free alternatives to combat-
ing the caterpillars, though Lawrence recommends against burning, and questions the effectiveness of home remedies, such as pouring diluted dish soap around the base of a tree in an attempt to sour the taste of its leaves. “A very good method is the squish method,” Lawrence said with a chuckle. Other than that, there’s not much to do but live with them until the cycle comes to an end, he said. Lawrence said he expects the season will wind down over the next few weeks. Goldberg said that trees will survive the damage. She recommends giving younger trees more water. As for Bell, she’s lived through many past caterpillar invasions and while this one seems exceptionally large, in reality it hasn’t been much more than a headache. She’s had to keep a more careful eye on her outdoor garden displays but there’s been no real negative impact on business, she said. In fact, in some ways it’s actually been a boon. “I’m selling the heck out of my tent caterpillar spray,” she said.

Ryan’s House looking for ‘best fit’ in host families HARBOR HIGHLIGHTS By JOAN BAY KLOPE
In March of 2012, I met LORI CAVENDER, executive director of RYAN’S HOUSE FOR YOUTH. Passionate, articulate, practical and energetic, she works closely with all three Island school districts, meeting regularly with school counselors who identify unaccompanied, homeless youth attending school. To scores of kids, Cavender is the “white van lady,” who provides much needed clothing, toiletries, school supplies and sleeping bags. To my husband and me, she is the woman who upset our happy, quiet, routinely empty nest. Our story began with Cavender’s simple statement, “We have shelters on Whidbey for
dogs and cats, but none for kids.” Returning home after hearing Cavender’s presentation, I sat next to my husband on the couch after a busy day. The house was quiet, as all three of our children had grown up and moved out. With bedrooms empty, good health, a passion for kids and a desire to model love in ways we had never before been brave enough to attempt, I phoned Cavender the following morning. “My husband and I are interested in talking with you about these kids,” I told her. Most people assume that homeless kids are runaways who don’t want to follow rules at home, struggle with substance abuse, get in trouble at school and experience regular run-ins with local law enforcement. To be honest, my husband and I felt ill-equipped to handle these situations. Cavender assured us that the great majority of homeless kids regularly attending school are trying to change their lives by removing themselves from their living situations. The largest percentage of the population have parents too consumed by substance
abuse to serve their children. The next largest group is fleeing physical and emotional abuse. There are a number of students who are homeless because their families, even though stable, do not approve of their lifestyle. The majority are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. A small but growing number are Navy kids who convince their parents that moving late in high school is undesirable and make their own arrangements for alternate housing. Sadly, some of these plans fail in the long run. The Ryan’s House for Youth board of directors is presently looking at several shelter options that include building a home on a tract of land on the south end of the island, as well as purchasing and remodeling housing presently for sale in Central and Northern Whidbey. The task is arduous and lengthy as housing needs continue on a daily basis. For that reason, the agency has expanded their Host Family program. The process begins with a youth requesting placement with a host family. Families willing to provide a bedroom, meals and a home filled with consistent support are interviewed, back-
ground checked and visited as needed. Ryan’s House offers host families support services that include free clothing, toiletries, counseling, mediation and phone support 24/7. The greatest need, according to Cavender, is a variety of host families so they can “find the best fit.” This week alone, there are 10 homeless students faithfully attending school and in urgent need of a place to live. While most kids are 16-18 years of age, the agency serves students into their early twenties, especially those succeeding in college or post-high school training. As the end of the school year approaches, the number of kids identifying themselves as homeless increases.

CANDIDATE LIST CONTINUED FROM A1 Vaughn, of Camano Island, were selected as possible replacements during an Island County Republican Party meeting Tuesday, according to party Chairman Tim Geist. Geist said the names were submitted in alphabetical order without ranking them according to vote totals in order to avoid influencing the commissioners’ decision. The Republican Party recognized that Emerson’s resignation might be a possibility when her husband, Ken, took a job in Kitsap County late last year, according to Geist and Johnson. Rumors circulated that Emerson might resign, causing
members of the Republican Party to approach Geist about the “three names,” he said. “There was an understanding that it was a possibility,” Geist said. “I had enough information to think about what I would do.” “As it worked out, we had the three candidates we needed.” Johnson said she had heard rumors as early as last fall from “reliable sources” within the party that Emerson was planning to resign. When Emerson did not resign at the end of the year, however, Johnson said she assumed the rumors were false. If Johnson and Price Johnson agree on a replacement from the provided list, the appointed com-
COMPLAINT CONTINUED FROM A1 the Public Disclosure Commission through his campaign manager, Tony Wallace. Hennemann alleges that Jacks’ camp is not gathering appropriate donor data for contributions exceeding $100. As of Wednesday, Jacks’ Paypal donation page did not request employer data from donors as required by law. “You have people who have rigorous adherence to the rules, and other people have the best intentions, but both are held to the exact same standards,” Wallace said. “Where else is she going to cut corners? Things do happen, but we’re more likely to find it if we undergo rigorous self audit.” “We’re on the right track, she is not.” Staff with the PDC confirmed Thursday that a complaint was filed, but they said they have not yet reviewed that complaint or made a determination.
Jacks’ spokesman Bill Phillips said that they have been calling donors after donations are made to collect the necessary data. So, he said, Jacks’ campaign is making a good faith effort to obtain the required information. “They don’t care how the data is collected,” Phillips said. That said, he added, “transparency in any campaign is important. This gives us a chance to go back and double check. We welcome the scrutiny. We will accept any feedback they (the PDC) have.” Phillips said Jacks’ staff is in the process of changing the Paypal donation page to collect the required information. “The complaint to the Public Disclosure Commission was filed purely in the interests of transparency in campaign financing,” Hennemann said in an emailed statement. “While I am not an expert in the rules of campaign finance, I am very much in favor of letting the public know who donates to each campaign and how much they give.” “I am certain this is merely an oversight
CELL TOWER CONTINUED FROM A1 fied on Island County maps. Moss said she believes this makes the proposed location of the cell tower a danger to residents and aircraft. “It’s straight up dangerous to put a 110foot cell tower here,” Moss said. Because the cell tower would be near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and aircraft flight patterns, AT&T will have to follow a process and consult with the Federal Aviation Administration, according to NAS Whidbey Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding. Welding said Thursday that he is not aware of any communication from AT&T regarding the pro-
missioner will assume office immediately. If the commissioners cannot agree on an appointee from the list, the decision will be punted VAUGHN to the Gov. Jay Inslee’s Office. Inslee is a Democrat. All three selected candidates filed to run for Emerson’s former seat in November. Republican Kelly Bagley also has filed to run for the office. Bagley’s son, Michael Bagley, also asked to be considered for the appointment, but said he did not want to run for the office in November, according to Geist. Johnson, who serves as commission chairwoman, confirmed
posed cell tower. AT&T officials confirmed Friday that they have filed an application with the FAA, which has yet to make a determination, according to Marianne Bichsel. An Obstruction Evaluation/Airpor t Airspace Analysis must be conducted by the FAA before the cell tower can be approved. A preapplication was also filed with the Island County Planning and Community Development Department, Bichsel said. Depending on the result of the application, AT&T is hoping to be able to file for the necessary permits within 30 days, Bichsel said.

We d n e s d a y that she received a letter from the Island County Republican Party naming the three candidates. Johnson HANNOLD said it is her hope that she and Price Johnson can schedule public interviews as soon as possible to restore stability to the county. Johnson said that questions for the candidates will be solicited from the public before the interviews are conducted. She said those questions will be asked by the commissioners. Hannold is a retired Navy chief who was elected to the Oak Harbor Christian School board. Hannold
on the part of the Jacks campaign, and I have every confidence that the experts on the PDC staff will quickly resolve the issue.” Jacks said Thursday that she believes her campaign is collecting all the necessary data as people make donations, but she will gladly follow any guidance offered by the PDC. “I’m trying to be very transparent, that’s who I am,” Jacks said. “It’s about representing the community of Camano and all of Island County.” A total of five candidates, four Republicans and Jacks, the sole Democrat, filed to run for the District No. 3 seat formerly held by Kelly Emerson. Emerson announced her decision not to seek re-election in December, resigned on May 5, seven months short of the end of her term. She is now running for Kitsap County auditor. Wallace said the Hennemann campaign is scrutinizing Jacks because they believe he will pull ahead of the other Republican candidates and face her in the race for com-
said he plans to use a common sense approach to governing and vote according public feedback. Hennemann served in variHENNEMANN ous capacities in the United States Air Force and holds a master’s degree in public administration. Hennemann said his priorities include public safety and keeping down taxes. Vaughan serves on the Island County Law and Justice Council and is a former supervisor for L-3 Aerospace. Vaughan’s priorities include law enforcement and keeping Island County an affordable place to live.
missioner seat later this year. “It’s not a mistake that we already have Karla Jacks as our opponent in November,” Wallace said. Two of the Republican candidates, Richard Hannold and Aubrey Vauhan, chose the “mini reporting” option, meaning they don’t intend to raise or spend more than $5,000 on their respective campaigns. Wallace said that is evidence that the two candidates are not serious contenders. Jacks and Republican Kelly Bagley both filed for full reporting to the PDC, as did Hennemann. As of press time, only Hennemann and Jacks had reported funds raised for their campaigns. Jacks has raised $10,550 and spent $8,047 so far, and Henneman has raised $770 and spent $78, according the the PDC website. Jacks said her funds have gone toward the paid campaign manager she’s had since December and the purchase of signs, pens and brochures.
Plans for island-length trail may be taking step forward By JUSTIN BURNETT Whidbey News Group
A longterm plan to create a paved trail from the Clinton ferry to Deception Pass Bridge may be taking a step forward. Island County Public Works Director Bill Oakes confirmed plans to fund a $50,000 feasibility study later this year that will examine a proposed path from the Clinton Ferry Terminal to Ken’s Korner in Clinton. “The idea is to have a trail from the ferry to Langley Road,” Oaks said. “We certainly won’t be able to build it all at once, but that’s the idea.” Island County has worked for years on a plan for a paved trail that snakes along state highways 525 and 20, spanning the length of Whidbey Island. The project is funding dependent, meaning segments are completed as money becomes available. So far, portions are built in Coupeville —
Rhododendron and Kettles trails — and work is progressing on a small stretch in Freeland, from Fish to Cameron roads. Oakes said the Clinton path will follow Highway 525, but could snake off in certain areas. The study will identify possible routes, easements needed, timelines, funding sources, and of course cost. “In today’s dollars, the estimate is $2 million,” said Oakes, adding most of that would be paid by state or federal grants. The trail proposal has a wide base of support among elected and community leaders. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a Clinton resident, said it was a priority identified during the Clinton Future Search Conference in 2012, and described the idea as “awesome.” “I think the ability to enhance multimodal accessibility is a

Area leaders are working to slow the constant river of speedy ferry motorists and encourage pedestrian traffic while the Port of South Whidbey is endeavoring to improve off-island commuting
by securing additional commuter parking in Mukilteo. The goal behind both of these efforts is economic development, and improving access to and from the area compliments that overlying objective, he said. “I think the bicycle trail will be an integral part of that and help move this forward,” Craven said. Oakes said a contract for the feasibility study would likely be approved this fall, but that construction would be at least for years away.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA, AND SCORPIO.
Week of May 25 to 31, 2014 ARIES
By calculating and recalculating your budget you realize that you have the means to achieve your ambitions. Emotionally, there are a few details to clear up.
TAURUS
You show a fair bit of initiative. It is important to take the time to negotiate with people before coming to a decision that also involves them.
GEMINI
Your health might require some attention. You may finally discover a more suitable diet or a treatment that improves your quality of life.
CANCER
You have to make some hard choices; love and an active social life are not always compatible. Take another look at your priorities where pleasure and responsibilities are involved.
LEO
You are inspired to rethink your décor and undertake some big jobs at home. What’s more, your friends are going to be very happy to be able to help you with your projects.
VIRGO
You start planning your summer vacation. Don’t hesitate to tighten your belt now, for a while, so you can afford to go on a dream trip or some sort of pilgrimage.
LIBRA
You are a bundle of nerves for a few days. Fortunately, you don’t lose your smile and you succeed in making the people around you laugh.
SCORPIO
At work you are at the centre of some important negotiations. You succeed in using a ruse that allows you to make some important gains, which makes everyone happy.
SAGITTARIUS
One of your colleagues is absent and you inherit his or her workload. You’ll probably fall behind a bit, but this situation is to your advantage; a promotion could be your reward.
CAPRICORN
You’re sure to receive congratulations for some type of exploit. Your loved one is very attentive to your requests and suggests some big projects to work on together.
AQUARIUS
Your young children are rather demanding and you have to devote a lot of time to them. You may have to taxi them around or make some important appointments for them.
PISCES
There seems to be some confusion where communications are concerned. Double check your information, and be attentive to various instructions so you won’t have to redo your work.

VEHICLE DISPOSAL HOURS Thursday-Friday 8am to 8pm Saturday 8am to 7pm Sunday 10am to 6pm Memorial Day 8am to 7pm Tues 27th - Fri 30th 8am to 8pm Saturday May 31st 8am to 7pm
Sales MUST be finalized by 7pm Saturday 5/31/14 per Lender/Property Management Disposal agreement
IN ANACORTES ONLY
Bank ORDERED Inventory Reduction! OVER 300 in stock! 99 MUST Be Sold! Partial List of Available Opportunities!
IN ANACORTES ONLY
ANACORTES, WA – Due to an oversupply of both new and used vehicles in stock, Ron Rennebohm, owner of the Frontier Ford Saleen Superstore, has been asked by both of his lender and property management companies for an IMMEDIATE reduction in Frontier’s entire new and used vehicle inventory levels. Quoting Mr. Rennebohm, “Strong 2013 new Ford sales and ordering of new Ford allocation during the first quarter of 2014 has created an oversupply of both new and used vehicles that has exceeded his dealerships flooring capacity.” He goes on to say, “this has created a problem for the dealership, but at the same time an “opportunity” for the community to help reduce his entire $10,000,000 inventory, while saving thousands of dollars on new vehicles as well as some of the best used vehicles Frontier Ford Saleen Superstore has had in years. We satisfy lender and property management companies request for reduction and customers get great values! We MUST dispose of at least 99 new and used vehicles and therefore Frontier Ford will be passing on huge savings to the community” on each and every vehicle sold during the Memorial Day holiday weekend and the balance of May. Over and above major price reductions, Frontier Ford will pay to enroll every customer that purchases a vehicle, new or used, in Fords exclusive “Owners Advantage” program. “This alone saves customers on each and every service they perform on their fresh vehicle purchase” according to Mr. Rennebohm. All major banks and credit unions have agreed to actively and aggressively HELP buyers arrange the lowest interest rate loans and terms allowed by lending laws. New vehicle finance rates start as low as 0% for up to 60 months and used vehicle finance rates start as low as 1.99% on approval of credit, during this vehicle disposal opportunity. Not all customers or vehicles qualify for these 10 day only low introductory interest rates, but bank and credit union approval will be available directly at the Frontier Ford Saleen Superstore location. Finally, with over 300 new and used vehicles available and the need to dispose of at least 99 by the close of business on Saturday May 31st, there will probably never be a BUYERS opportunity like this again. Fresh trades allowed, paid for or not. NO DEALERS OR WHOLESALERS ALLOWED DURING THESE 10 DAYS. Individual consumers ONLY will be allowed to purchase. Open to the general public ONLY! Maximum of (2) vehicles per household may be purchased.
