Since becoming chief of the Oak Harbor Fire Department, Ray Merrill has pushed to improve the city’s public fire protection classification. Merrill said the fire department has made strides, but that the city should make one big investment to bring the rating down. A new fire department building is needed in the growing southwest area of the city, he said. The ratings, issued by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau, are a comparative measure of fire defenses and building code enforcement in communities throughout the state. Ratings run from 1 to 10 and the lower the better. A lower rating can mean big savings for homeowners and especially businesses in reduced fire insurance premiums, according to the bureau. A lower rating also means that the city is safer from fire risk. Oak Harbor has maintained a rating of 4 since 2007; Merrill characterized it as “very good.” In comparison, North Whidbey has a 6 rating, Central Whidbey a 7, Anacortes a 5, Burlington a 6 and Mount Vernon a 4. “We’ve done a lot already to improve our ratings,” Merrill said, pointing to the department’s extensive training requirements and the city’s investments in the water system. The department tried to improve its rating last year, but missed improving to a 3 by a relatively small number of points. The rating bureau looks at things like

Public Health ailing from uncertain funding By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Island County’s Public Health Department is suffering from symptoms that seem to be part of a statewide condition — unpredictable funding and rising costs.
To help remedy the situation, Island County leadership is taking a closer look at public health programs during upcoming budget talks. “We’ll have a conversation about if we want to have dedicated funds (for Public Health),” said Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson.

Superheroes will be descending upon Oak Harbor for the Fourth of July. Special Needs from the Heart is organizing and hosting a Super Hero 5K fundraiser for the morning of Independence Day to raise awareness — and funds — for Early Childhood Education. To promote the run, the organization held a T-shirt design contest. “It was designed for children all over the island to just draw a picture of their favorite superhero,” said organizer Lonnie Schopen. Brennan Sanchez, a sixth grader at Oak Harbor Middle School, won with his drawing of Iron Man. On Tuesday, June 10, Schopen and Sanchez’s family surprised him at school to let him know the great news. “He worked really hard, so it’s a nice surprise for him,” said Sanchez’s dad Gerardo. Schopen arrived with a basket full of superhero toys, gift certificates from local businesses, balloons and a T-shirt with Sanchez’s drawing on the front. She also brought along a special guest, Iron Man. Sanchez was surprised and excited to meet his favorite superhero. As part of his prize, Brennan gets to kick off
the race by blowing the starting whistle. The T-shirts will be printed with his design and given out at the race. Schopen said there will be other designs that people can purchase, but the majority of them will have Sanchez’s Iron Man drawing on them. Gerardo said he’ll be participating in the race. “With my T-shirt, I’ll be there,” he said. This is the first-ever Superhero 5K Special Needs for the Heart in Oak Harbor. If it goes well, Schopen said, organizers will hold one every year with the recipient of the proceeds changing depending on need. This year’s recipient, Hand in Hand Early Childhood Learning Center, works with children who score low on placement tests for kindergarten so that they won’t be behind their classmates, according to Schopen. She said that funding was low for them, but the need is high. “Anybody can make donations, everybody needs to come out and everybody needs to participate,” Schopen said. Participants are encouraged to dress up as superheroes, but any comfortable running or walking clothes are accepted.

Students dance along with PTA members who performed “What Does the Fox Say” during the Broad View Elementary talent show.
Students prove that Broad View’s got talent By MICHELLE BEAHM
B Staff reporter
road View Elementary students tested their limits Thursday and tackled their fears of performing. “Let it Go,” the popular song from “Frozen,” resulted in a lively audience singalong during the elementary school’s talent show. With about 50 students, 10 Parent Teacher Association members and about 20 staff members participating, “Frozen” was a popular choice for acts, and were some of the biggest hits of the show. With so many different performances, even “Let it Go” couldn’t steal the show, and everyone, from students to parents to staff, were entertained all day. “It’s obviously fun,” said Talent Show organizer Judi Consolver. “It lets them shine, to share their talent. It’s great to see the other students performing.”
Consolver first organized the event last year when her daughter was a student and she was on the PTA. Before that, music teacher Renee Hall organized it for about 12 years. When Hall was unable to do it again, Consolver took over because she couldn’t imagine not having a talent show at the end of the school year. Her favorite part of the show, she said, was “the anticipation in the morning. Just how exciting it is, how excited the kids are. “I love it.” Students weren’t the only performers in the show. A group of 10 PTA members joined together and performed a dance to “What Does the Fox Say,” by Ylvis, a huge hit with the students, who all stood and danced along, helping their PTA out with the noises foxes might make. But it wasn’t until a group of staff members joined together to dance to the song “Happy,” by Pharrell Williams, that the audience
really went wild. “When they see the teachers, they go nuts,” Consolver said. Along with the talent show, there was also an auction to raise money for the school’s art program. Art teacher Nicolette Harrington received pieces of furniture, which the fifth graders painted, and were then auctioned off. These pieces included a “Peace Bookshelf” and a “Stamp Stool.” The total money raised for the art department was $610, more than what was raised last year, said Consolver. Oak Harbor Elementary and Oak Harbor Middle School had talent shows on Friday, and North Whidbey Middle School will be having on their last day of school, Tuesday, June 17.
A portion of Hastie Lake Road will be closed for several weeks this summer to improve visibility in an area with a history of traffic accidents. A stretch of road along Hastie Lake east of Zylstra Road will be lowered to allow west-going drivers to better see oncoming traffic, according to Public Works Director Bill Oakes. Construction is expected to begin June 30, with the road closure starting July 7. Oakes said the crew will need to be completed with the work by Aug. 15, but may finish early. Drivers accustomed to reaching State Highway 20 via Hastie Lake Road will need to take an alternate route during construction, such as Libbey and Fort Nugent roads.

NAS Whidbey partners with Whidbey General for surgery First operation under partnership was April 11 By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Navy surgeons may now perform procedures at nearby civilian hospitals. Oak Harbor Naval Hospital entered into a partnership with Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville and Island Hospital in Anacortes. The Naval Hospital rolled out changes over the past year that included closure of the hospital’s Urgent Care Center, expanding its clinics, upgrading the birthing center and adding a 24-hour nurse hotline. In addition, surgeries are no longer performed on base. Capt. Edward Simmer, the hospital’s commanding officer until August, said partnerships will allow veterans and military personnel to consult and have surgeries performed by military doctors. “We greatly appreciate the partnership we have with Whidbey General and Island Hospitals,” Simmer said in a prepared news release this week. “Together we are ensuring Navy Medicine beneficiaries receive the outstanding care they deserve every day. “This collaboration is a big step toward reaching NHOH’s vision of ‘Build Your
World Class Medical Neighborhood.’” Primary function of this agreement is to allow for general, orthopedic and gynecologic surgeries for Naval Hospital patients in the civilian hospitals, but pre- and post-operative appointments will still occur on base. Whidbey General, located in Coupeville, is one of 34 rural hospitals in Washington state. In November, Island County voters approved a $50 million bond to be used to upgrade and expand Whidbey General. “We are honored by their (the Navy’s) trust in us and look forward to taking on their surgeries, inpatients and emergencies as needed,” said Whidbey General spokesperson Trish Rose in an emailed statement. “We look forward to working collaboratively with their leadership, as well as making every effort to accommodate the needs of our community’s service members and their families. It is the quality of our workforce and the quality of our care that enables them to make this decision with such confidence.” April 9 marked the first partnered surgery at Whidbey General, followed by the initial surgery at Island Hospital April 11. Naval Hospital surgeons are part of a team of staff and nurses at each of the partner facilities and are vetted and certified according to each civilian hospital’s requirements.
Man charged with child molestation By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor man is accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl who was at his home visiting with other children, according to court documents. Myron T. James, 33, pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court March 26
with child molestation in the third degree. A special agent with Naval Criminal Investigative Services investigated the case after the girl reported it to her parents this year. The molestation allegedly occurred last September at a home on base housing. The victim reported that she went over to see some

friends at the home. She said James pulled her into his lap and started to grind himself against her and touched her breasts over her clothing, NCIS reported. James’ wife is in the Navy and was deployed at the time, the report states. During an interview with NCIS, James allegedly admitted the molestation and said the girl tried to get away and he pulled her back, the report states. James also said he later tried to get the girl to talk to him in his car because he wanted to apologize, the agent wrote.

IN OUR OPINION
Don’t take Public Health for granted Public Health is largely misunderstood. This is probably because the face of Public Health, what services it provides and how it pays for services have morphed dramatically over the years. But what hasn’t changed is the need to appreciate and financially support Public Health and its contribution to our community. What began as the military-focused Marine Hospital Service became the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service in 1902 in recognition of its expanding role in public health. The name was shortened to Public Health Service in 1912. This branch of government was charged, in part, to handle the series of contagious outbreaks that plagued the 20th century, a result of growing cities after the industrial revolution. Yellow fever, bubonic plague and typhoid fever are just a few of the illnesses that took hundreds of thousands of lives. As a result, the early role of public health was basic sanitation and distribution of vaccines. With attention turned to health, nurses were assigned to public schools and food inspections were initiated. Resources were dedicated to researching cures for diseases like polio and scientific findings helped shape public policies. Scientists discovered the importance of nutrition and its role in causing diseases like pellegra and rickets. Through the national Public Health Service, which was implemented through local offices, our health as a country improved and our food and water became safer. This is the purpose of Public Health. But its growing efficacy had a down side. Once diseases were controlled and safety measures implemented, national funding sources to local offices have been cut back to almost nothing over the years. The national focus has shifted to pre-emptive programs like the Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and big picture agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration. Still, local offices have found creative ways to continue traditional Public Health services, and have expanded to include septic inspections, aquifer monitoring, HIV/AIDS testing and education, smoking cessation SEE PUBLIC HEALTH, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Schools
Why are we waiting to arm school officials? Editor, What are we waiting for? In Toppenish, Wash., a new policy starting this fall enables kindergarten through 12th grade public school administrators to carry concealed firearms on school property to provide protection. Those who volunteer will be using their own weapons, will receive training from a certified private trainer and receive bullet-resistant vests. So far, 11 administrators have volunteered, including the district superintendent. The stated goal of this program is to place at least one armed, trained administrator in each school building. During the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, it took police only three minutes to respond, yet 20-yearold Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members. The district superintendent in Toppenish has stated, “In a school shooting situation, waiting for the police to come is risky.” It may be an upsetting reality, but
simply having a “gun free” zone policy apparently does nothing to stop people who are intent on reigning violence. As Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association proffered after Sandy Hook, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” So, what are we waiting for? William Burnett Oak Harbor
Clarification
Attributed quotes about defaced bills misleading Editor, Please reference the Whidbey NewsTimes article, “Defaced bill appearing in Oak Harbor,” published on June 11. Reporter Janis Reid called me wanting to know what I knew about the defaced money being passed around protesting the Navy. What I told her was that, “I had received a message from a friend saying something to the effect that money had been showing up at local businesses, the businesses were upset and that if anyone I knew was doing this to tell them to cease and desist as it is illegal.” I told Janis that I did not remember
the exact words of the message and could send a copy of it to her, which I totally forgot to do. I then told Janis that I forwarded the message I got from my friend to Michael Monson. This is a copy of the message that I sent to Michael: “I just got this message from one of my FB friends. Thought I should pass it on to you … The message said, “Becky, someone in the anti-Growler movement stamped an anti-Growler message on a $1 bill and left it in a local business. One, it is illegal to deface money, fed law. Two, it created more anger then other things … be careful … if you know who did it, stop the defacing of money, really working against your message …” This is the only communication I had with Michael Monson concerning the defaced bills. Quotes attributed to me in the article are misleading and I want to clarify that I did not directly say them, but was instead relaying a message I had received. I admit that I should have sent the copy of the message to Janis; it would have clarified what I was saying to her. For now, just know that the exchange identified as between Michael Monson and I as depicted in the article did not SEE SPRAITZAR, A7

occur. I also would like to go on the record as saying there are many people who have issues with the noise and pollution. What individuals do to voice their displeasure with these issues are not always known or condoned by either Concerned Island Citizens or COER, just like the defacing of signs are for the pro-OLF folks. The only thing we can do as a group is inform everyone we know, and hope the “right” person or persons hear and heed the message. Michael has taken a lot of heat, as have I and others, for speaking up for the health, safety and wellbeing of our communities. It is important that quotes published be accurate. I believe that Janis would have been able to accurately quote me had I sent her a copy of the message I forwarded to Michael. Thank you for correcting this error. Becky Spraitzar Oak Harbor
Defaced dollars
It’s only illegal if it can’t be reissued Editor, In response to defacing U.S. currency, it is only illegal when done with intent to render it unfit to be reissued. Anyone who has been passed one of these bills is well aware that they have not been rendered unusable. They are, in fact, very useable and in good shape. Speaking with bank managers specifically about stamping of bills, I have been told that it is perfectly permissible for bills to be stamped and that they have not seen any stamped bills locally, of any persuasion, which had to
be replaced because they were “rendered unusable.” Wendy Campbell deWinter Oak Harbor
Demonstration
Don’t military families get enough services? Editor, According to Mike Welding, Public Affairs Officer at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the base is assigning pilots and military aircraft to an aerial demonstration in the Strait of Juan de Fuca as part of a family day aboard the aircraft carrier the Nimitz on Friday, June 13. Although the types of aircraft are not mentioned, this seems an extravagant use of public military funding to provide entertainment for a picnicking crowd of invited guests barbecuing on the flight deck. Military funding today accounts for well over 50 percent of the federal budget. Fuel consumption rate of the EA-18G Growler is 1,304 gallons per hour, according to the Department of Defense: Selective Acquisition Report, and the pilots make about $120,000 per year and performing for their families is not a part of their regular service. There are groups inside the military that provide exhibitions for the public, including the Blue Angels, who were temporarily grounded during the recent sequester as a non-essential activity. During a time of fiscal constraints on all civilian activities and lack of funding for even our most deserving veterans, C itizens of Ebey’s Reserve believe this a poor use of our public money. COER’s Cate Andrews asked, “Don’t the families already get enough services provided for

them from public funds, such as use of the Navy commissary for all of their shopping needs, and the use of our local hospital and mental health resources?” And member Ken Pickard said, “Puget Sound is not a playground for the Navy and its personnel, and using military equipment for pleasure seems counter-intuitive.” The Navy and its Growler noise expansion is an increasingly destructive and divisive problem on the Islands in Puget Sound, pitting Island communities against each other. COER’s goal is to close the OLF in Coupeville and relocate flight Carrier Landing Practices to locations better suited to the Growler noise with less encroachment.

Class of 2014
Thanks for making Grad Night a success Editor, I would like to extend my congratulations to the Oak Harbor High School graduating class of 2014. Also, kudos to the faculty, parents, individuals, sponsors and anyone who participated in making the Grad Night party a success. This is such an important milestone in a senior’s lifetime and of course celebrating is uppermost in their minds. Parents and grandparents have a peace of mind, knowing their teenager is having fun and enjoying the fellowship of their fellow students in a safe environment. I appreciate the concern of all involved in this event and thank you with sincerity. Joyce New Oak Harbor
programs and many others. This all takes money. And with rising costs and unpredictable revenue sources such as grants and fees for services, the Island County Health Department, like most health departments throughout the state, are struggling. Island County Public Health Director Keith Higman has said that, to continue to provide these services, his department needs dedicated funding from a federal, state or county source. Island County Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson agree that money is needed to fill the gap, but have yet to discuss possible solutions, which might include new county or state funding. As they approach this year’s budget cycle, commissioners need to take a hard look at the role Public Health can and should play in the role of Island County residents. Some might say that Public Health is a waste of money or that scientific advances have eliminated the need for these services. This is not the case. Recent outbreaks of H1N1 and pertussis underline the unpredictability of a public health crisis and the importance of having qualified staff ready to handle CDC recommendations. As many in the world struggle to find clean drinking water, we enjoy the safe and clear product of our water testing programs. Offering assistance to mothers to promote prenatal care and good parenting is an investment in our future. For these reasons, none of us should take our health — or the programs that help us remain healthy — for granted.

William Paul Frank, of Oak Harbor, left his earthly station to put on immortality May 28, 2014. He and his twin brother, Charles, were born on July 14, 1935, to Henry and Bertha Frank in Kokomo, Ind. During his childhood, the family lived in Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Georgia, Alabama and Washington. After graduating from high school in Kokomo, Ind., he attended Purdue University briefly before joining the United States Navy in 1955. While in the Navy, he served on the USS Antietam, USS Kitty Hawk and USS America as an aircraft mechanic. He was

He enjoyed fishing, camping, cooking, with the required eating part, and afternoon naps. He was an avid motorcyclist. He made friends wherever he went. But, most of all, he loved his family dearly and his family loved him dearly! He was a joy to be around, always smiling, positive and he brought people and family together. Everyone was a “sweetie” and a friend to him. And everyone we met would say, “He is so darn cute!” and he was!

Nancy Beal
Nancy Louise (Johnson) Beal, 62, of Gold Bar passed away on Saturday, June 7, at her home. She was taken from us far too soon. Nancy was born to Leon and Virginia Johnson on Feb. 20, 1952, in Oakland, Calif. Nancy grew up in California and graduated from Washington High School in 1970. She met and fell in love with her soulmate, Ron Beal, and the two of them took on the world together. Over the years, they moved their home, living in Pocatello, Idaho; Everett; Whidbey Island; and, for the past several years, Gold Bar. Nancy worked for years with John L. Scott Realty on both Whidbey Island and in Monroe, and in the past few years with Grocery Outlet. She retired in December of last year and sadly did not get to enjoy much of the reward for all those years of hard work. Nancy is preceded in death by her parents and her beloved grandparents, Mae and “Cheech” Lewis. She is survived by her husband, Ron; five children, Paula (Herk) of Sturdevent, Calif., Tracie (Phil) of Martinez, Calif., Tim Beal of Mar ysville, Wash., Jim (Ronna) Beal of Mill Creek, Wash., and Patty Beal, of Marysville, Wash.; 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; her brothers, David (Teri) Johnson, Ronald (Lisa) Humphrey and Thomas Humphrey; and many nephews and nieces.

“They took me to camps and made sure I had everything I needed to succeed,” he said. He also acknowledged his coaches who taught him the “fundamentals to be a successful player.”
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Perhaps in the case of Breeanna Messner and Nick Streubel, the name of the award should be changed. The senior pair were selected Coupeville High School’s Athletes of the Year for 2013-14, but the impression they left on their coaches goes far beyond their success in sports. Messner’s and Streubel’s athletic accomplishments certainly merit the AOY honor. Messner lettered in volleyball (three years), basketball (two years) and softball (four years), earning second-team, all-Cascade Conference honors in softball and honorable mention in volleyball and basketball this season. She was team captain in all three sports, was named the Most Valuable Player on the softball team and received the Wolf Pack Award in basketball and volleyball. Messner also lettered in cheer the past three years, doubling up during the fall season. Streubel received varsity letters in football (four years), basketball (three years) and track (three years). He was a three-time Cascade Conference honorable mention selection in basketball and received that honor in football his sophomore season. The past two seasons, Coupeville played as an independent in football; therefore, Streubel wasn’t eligible for league honors. He, however, trumped any award the conference could bestow by earning second-team, allstate 1A honors as an offensive lineman. His prowess on the football field resulted in a scholarship to play for Central Washington University next fall. MESSNER SAID she was “really surprised” to win the Athlete of the Year award. “There are a lot of great athletes here,” she said. Messner said of all her accomplishments, she is most proud of balancing four sports and school work and being successful in all. “It was kind of difficult,” she said.
ASK MESSNER’S and Streubel’s coaches about their prized pupils, and they are more interested in discussing the athletes’ personal qualities than athletic achievements. Amy King (who first started working with Messner in seventh-grade volleyball): “She paid attention, listened and worked hard. Through the years those things have never changed. She is a great role model for others with her work ethic, great attitude and desire to excel.” David King: “In basketball we gave out an award, it’s called Coupeville Pride. The definition for this award is positive, resilient, inspirational, dedicated, encouraging and team first. This describes Bree and her attitude perfectly. “She always puts team goals above individual goals. Bree has never settled for ‘this is good enough.’ Above all, Breeanna is amazingly humble.” Photo by Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times
Breeanna Messner was team captain in three sports this year. She links her success to her work ethic: “I wasn’t necessarily the best player, but I would work my hardest and never give up. Personally, I don’t like to give up. I just want to be the best I can be.” She credits coach David King with helping mold her as an athlete. King, along with his wife Amy, moved with Messner through the youth ranks. King, assisted by Amy, eventually coached Messner in varsity basketball and the Kings were co-head coaches of Messner’s softball team. “He was always dedicated to us,” Messner said of King. Messner will attend San Diego State University next year and focus on the “medical field.” She does not see herself as a Division I athlete but will take advantage of the
school’s vast club-sports program. “Sports have become a big part of my life,” Messner said. “I am not ready to let go.” STREUBEL SAID he was “blessed” to receive the AOY award and to be associated with all “Coupeville greats who received this award.” His greatest accomplishment, he said, was earning the scholarship to play college football. He also enjoyed the wins during football and basketball season: “I like team sports a lot; you have to rely on others. I like being with people and succeeding together.” His success can be traced back to his parents, David and Nanette Streubel, he said.
KIRSTY CROGHAN (Messner’s volleyball coach): “She has such a high standard of herself, and that translated to her team and program. I am very excited to see where she goes and what she achieves in life.” Tony Maggio (Streubel’s football coach): “I am so proud of his accomplishments, even more so the ones off the football field. What a great young man and well deserving of this honor.” Anthony Smith (Streubel’s basketball coach): “Nick always gave 110 percent. Nick is focused and will be successful at whatever he chooses to do.” Randy King (Streubel’s track coach): “Great guy. He has been great to coach, always positive and enjoying life. He has been willing to share his knowledge with all our younger throwers and has been a great model for others to emulate. His kind of leadership will be hard to

replace.” Athletes of the Year? How about Citizens of the Year. THREE OTHER awards were presented to Coupeville High School athletes this spring. Messner, along with senior football and baseball player Jake Tumblin, received the Cliff Gillies Award. The award is sponsored by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association and is presented to a boy and girl at each Washington high school who stands out in academics, sportsmanship and citizenship. Gillies was a longtime executive director of the WIAA. Senior Ben Etzell and junior Madeline Strasburg were
presented the Distinguished Athlete Award, sponsored by the Marine Corps and selected by school athletic director Lori Stolee. The award is given to good role models who display courage, poise, self-confidence and leadership as varsity athletes. Etzell competed in tennis and baseball, and Strasburg played volleyball, basketball and softball. Seniors Brett Arnold and Amanda Fabrizi received the U.S. Army Reserve National Scholar-Athlete Award, sponsored by the Army and selected by school administrators, for those who excel in both academics and sports. Arnold competed in football and soccer and Fabrizi in volleyball and basketball.

Father shares passion for sports with community High school coach teaches life lessons to local youth
They understood the kids were developing more than a jump shot on our patch of concrete. His love and service, however, went beyond his family, his driveway and his high school teams. When we moved to Oak Harbor, baseball was the only sport offered to the community’s youth. He, with several close friends, began the junior league basketball and football programs in Oak Harbor. Through these opportunities, he provided kids with the chance to enjoy organized sports and the life lessons they teach along the way.
By JIM WALLER Sports edtitor
If you grew up in Oak Harbor at the time of my youth, in some ways, my father was your father. Merton Waller understood the importance of activities in strengthening one’s character, and he made sure the young boys of the community were afforded the chance to develop positive qualities through sports. My family moved to the island in the early 1950s when my father was hired to teach at Coupeville High School. He was also hired as the coach --- of everything. He was head coach of the school’s four varsity sports, football, basketball, baseball and track. He coached the latter two simultaneously in the spring, shouting instructions to the the track athletes conditioning in the outfield during baseball practice. SEVERAL YEARS later we moved to Oak Harbor where my father was head basketball coach for a decade and also served for a time as head track and cross country coach. He had stints as an assistant coach in football and baseball.
Coach Mert Waller, front left, and his son Mike, then 9, are surrounded by the 1958 Oak Harbor High School basketball team. Clockwise, starting in back left: Bill Meche, John Zeilstra, Joe Short, Bob Raymond, Gene Jaeger, Jack Taylor, Mel Zylstra, Dave Nienhuis, Larry Kitchel, Jerry Storey, Harry Rollog and Lynn Weidenbach. When girls sports were introduced in the 1970s, he was the school’s first girls basketball coach; I was his assistant. He eventually coached the softball team as well. And, if that wasn’t enough, he was Oak Harbor High School’s athletic director for about 10 years. Dad was a loving and

nurturing father. He allowed my older brother Mike and me to tag along to his practices, ride the team buses to his away games and sit on his team bench. He taught us how to play, and, more importantly, he taught us about sportsmanship, teamwork, work ethic, integrity and respect. WE WERE the envy of our friends. There were no professional athletic teams in Seattle, and television had yet to saturate the airways with sports. Therefore, for
sports fans, high school sports were a big deal. That, in turn, made my father a big deal. The ‘60s were a simpler and less litigious time, and as Mike and I became teenagers, my father allowed us to take his keys to open the high school gymnasium and play there unsupervised, often with friends in tow. The OHHS gym became our playground. My father wasn’t worried about problems; he taught us well. As long as I can remember, we had a basketball
rim mounted above our carport. Long before I was old enough to heave a ball up to the hoop, older kids in the neighborhood would meet for games in our driveway. They would knock on the door and ask permission to play. When it became dark, they would knock again and ask my father to turn on the porch light. HE NEVER refused. The rambunctious games took place just outside our living room and each thump of the ball on the backboard would reverberate throughout the house, making it difficult for us to watch TV. My father, and my mother, Jeanne, for that matter, never complained. They knew.
I FOLLOWED my father’s career choice, becoming a teacher and coach. It was an easy deision to make. He was happy, and who wouldn’t want that? When my father retired, he became the scorekeeper for my high school baseball team. Now our roles, in a way, were reversed. He followed me to games, joining me on the long bus rides and interacting with the players; they called him Grandpa Waller. He continued to pass along his wisdom intermixed with embarrassing stories about my youth. My father died in 2002. He never had the opportunity to watch his grandsons play college football, something he would have treasured. He missed their games; I miss him. Now, years later, men stop me and tell me about the positive impact my father had on their lives. Each compliment reenforces my belief that I was lucky to be his son. For each touch he had on others’ lives, he had a score on mine. Thank you, Dad. Happy Father’s Day.

Coupeville couple’s garden reveals a passion for poppies and a love for water features By RON NEWBERRY
A Staff reporter
s much as Don and Vickie Sullivan admire the colorful sea of poppies poking from their garden beds, there’s a part of them that wishes nature could have delayed this spectacular show a little while longer. Watching what they guess are 10,000 poppies in near, partial or full bloom is a sight to see, and the Sullivans just hope that a good portion continue to display their beauty two weeks from now. June 28 is show time for Whidbey Island’s garden lovers, with two self-guided garden tours taking place on both ends of the island. The Sullivans of Coupeville are taking part in the Garden Tour & Tea organized by the Oak Harbor Garden Club. This tour features five private gardens in Coupeville and Oak Harbor. On the same day this year, the Whidbey Island Garden Tour will feature five gardens on the island’s south end. The Sullivans had been approached in the past about showcasing their property and opted this year to bite after recently putting their home on the market. What Don and Vickie Sullivan will unveil to the public is the product of a 10-year transformation, turning former farmland they purchased into a spacious Craftsmanstyle home with a grand garden and modern amenities. Don Sullivan, who grew up on a farm in Iowa before going on to become a Navy squadron commander and commercial airline pilot, isn’t one to shy away from ambitious projects. He was his own general contractor on the Coupeville home he custom designed, and did most of the major construction himself,
Garden Tour & Tea The Garden Tour & Tea is a self-guided tour featuring five private gardens in Oak Harbor and Coupeville. The Oak Harbor Garden Club is organizer of the tour, which will take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, June 28. Guests may go on the tour in any order. This year, there are three stops in Coupeville and two in Oak Harbor. One of the Oak Harbor stops is also the site of the tea and will include entertainment from Skinny Tie Jazz. Tickets are a $15 donation, which covers the tour, a map, tea or coffee and a sandwich. Tickets are being sold at various locations, including Mailliard’s Landing Nursery, the Greenhouse Nursery, Hummingbird Farm Nursery and Garden, the Purple Bench Antiques & Garden and Wind & Tide Bookshop in Oak Harbor and bayleaf in Coupeville.

including the large shop and guest apartment where he and his wife lived for two years while he built their house. “He’s very industrious,” Vickie said. Once the house was completed in 2008, attention turned to the landscape and, in the process, another transformation took place. “Until I came out here, I never gardened in my life,” said Vickie, who’s from Chicago. “I had no idea what a weed was.” She recognizes them now, yanking them when she spots them while trying to keep up on their 4.5 acres of land. Her knowledge of plants has grown immensely on Whidbey Island. Their property features three raised garden beds teeming with SEE GARDEN TOUR, A12

The landscape maintains a country feel with open space and hedgerows on its perimeter, but takes on a more formal look closer to the house with tidy beds in the front containing hostas, blue Lithodora and an assortment of trees, including purple smoke, magnolia, plum, weeping mulberry, weeping hemlock and weeping purple beech. The backyard is devoted to water and poppies. The centerpiece is a mas-
sive pond Don built that features a small dock at one end. The pond’s only inhabitants are feeder gold fish that have grown over time. A specially-designed windmill provides the bubbles that aerate the pond. The latest addition is a waterfall that spills into another pond. “I love the water sound,” Don said.

stores in Oak Harbor, wondering where the years have gone. This month, Whidbey Coffee is celebrating its 25-year anniversary, leaving the 44-year-old man who started the company trying to come to grips with how fast those years whizzed by. Recalling his early days behind an espresso cart in front of the Payless grocery store in Freeland, Ollis said he never imagined how his business would grow and expand to 13 retail centers in four counties and include the acquisition of a Seattle roasting facility. “I never would have fathomed it. Never,” Ollis said. “And what an amazing journey.” “And it’s just getting going.” Ollis said he doesn’t like the story of Whidbey Coffee Co. to focus on him. Instead, he points to his family, loyal customers and dedicated employees as the reasons behind the company’s success. “He’s very positive,” said Leah Norton-Gaudreau, manager at Oak Harbor’s store on State Highway 20. “He motivates us.” A 1988 graduate of South Whidbey High School who grew up in Bayview, Ollis’ own loyalty to Whidbey Island is as clear as his company’s name; however, he’s also fervent about providing the same sort of customer service experiences at retail centers in Snohomish, Skagit and King counties. He’s focused on “smart, thought-out growth,” but has no plans to try to become a coffee giant. “We pride ourselves on trying to be the local company for the different communities that we serve,” Ollis said. “I have no ambitions to be at 15,000 stores. I want to do what’s best by our communities and support the
funded by state and federal grants, along with fees for services like immunizations and septic system inspections. But grants are not always issued each year and collecting fees for services can be unpredictable. “The way we’re funded is very complex,” said Public Health Director Keith Higman. “We’ve evolved into a system that is funded by fees, grants and local contributions. One of the things they (commissioners) are getting frustrated with is that it’s unpredictable. Grants go up, go down, or go away.” As the cost of equipment and staff has increased, that has created a budgetary shortfall in recent years. “It is completely frustrating in the sense that you can’t control that funding source on a local level,” said Johnson. “It’s variable and completely out of our control.” During last year’s budget process, the commissioners gave Public Health $415,000 — about 15 percent of its budget — to make up the difference. Like most Island County departments, Public Health experienced deep budget cuts after the 2008 recession. Higman said he cut 37 percent of the budget over an eight-month period, which translated to the loss of eight positions. Two of those positions were reinstated but lack of funding thwarted Higman’s attempts to continue to build back the department. As the county begins its budget process for 2015, Higman and county commissioners are looking at ways they can lend some stability to Public Health. At a recent work session, Higman outlined for commissioners the options of coming up with some type of dedicated funding, such as a per capita amount or a percentage of the current expense fund, or even pushing for help on a state level. Higman said seeking legislative help on a

The company’s second Oak Harbor shop on Pioneer Way is about to undergo an extensive remodel. communities that we serve so that they believe in us. “That recipe works much better for me.” In 2007, Ollis purchased a Seattle-based company, Victrola Coffee. It was a move that gave him two brands, more expertise, more control over quality and a deeper appreciation for the Seattle coffee industry. With that purchase came three Seattle coffee houses and a roasting facility, ending Whidbey Coffee’s reliance on contracted roasters. The move also raised Ollis’ coffee IQ. The Victrola brand, which scored high in a recent rating by Coffee Review, appeals to the more serious coffee aficionado. “Before I acquired Victrola, I thought I knew what I thought I knew but I didn’t have a clue,” Ollis said. Ollis has come far. In 1989, at age 19, he and his partner, Shawn Ogle, started a business called Double O Enterprises. They started that summer selling chicken fajitas from a borrowed concession trailer at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe. Ollis had already dabbled in work as a barista. In 1990, he and Ogle set up an espresso cart in front of Payless in Freeland and started selling coffee drinks. The first Whidbey
Coffee drive-through business opened in Freeland in November 1991, paving the way for more. Ultimately, Ollis would continue on solo and wind up opening 12 more outlets. Along the way, Whidbey Coffee became involved in the communities it served. This year, the coffee company awarded a $5,000 college scholarship to a South Whidbey High School senior and has become the grand sponsor of the Fourth of July fireworks show in Oak Harbor. Ollis, his wife Kristen and their two children live in Mukilteo where he has an office, but he said his Chevy Tahoe is his main office. He estimates that he logs between 18,000-26,000 miles on his vehicle annually and takes the ferry to Clinton two-to-three times per week. Lately, he’s spent more time in Oak Harbor, gearing up for a major expansion of the coffee shop near the corner of Pioneer Way and Midway Boulevard. If things fall into place, work may begin in August. It’s all part of gradual, calculated growth. “This is my hometown area, this region,” Ollis said. “I have no desire to get on a plane and fly to New York and open a store. “I think we can do what we do right here and do a good job.” “I think community is where it’s at.”
RATING CONTINUED FROM A1 the adequacy of the water system, the number and locations of hydrants, mutual aid, fire department training programs, building code enforcements, flow and pump tests, apparatus and alarm systems. Merrill said the city loses points on staffing levels. “We’re fortunate to have such a good relationship between the career staff and paid on-call,” he said, but added that he hopes to increase the career staff in the near future.

state level is not an overnight process. “You need to find a champion in Olympia, a chair of a committee with some seniority, to pitch this,” Higman said. “Timing is everything and sponsorship is everything.” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who has advocated for various county initiatives in Olympia over the years, agrees that the issue is bigger than Island County. “This is not unique to Island County,” Price Johnson said. “It’s a statewide issue. I don’t think it’s something we’re going to be able to solve locally.” She stressed the importance of Public Health programs, especially during unexpected emergencies like the pertussis and swine flu outbreaks in past years. “When public health is needed, there really is no substitute,” Price Johnson said. While Johnson said she agrees with Price Johnson’s push for a statewide change, she believes the short-term solution is going to need to come from a county level. “This is the option we have,” Johnson said. “We need a designated funding source. I feel like you fund it like any other priority. If we want the services Public Health is providing, we need to put money toward that from current expense (fund). That’s how we do every other department.” The county’s Public Health Department is broken up into three divisions. Assessment and Healthy Communities applies for grants, gathers and analyses data, plans and organizes community health activities and programs, and provides staff for citizen health boards. Community and Family Health operates the county’s Women, Infants and Children program, oversees infectious disease control, does HIV/AIDS testing and education, and maintains birth and death records among other services. Environmental Health provides septic system inspection services, monitors the county’s aquifers and wells for quality, maintains the county’s solid waste program, provides shellfish resources, issues outdoor burn permits, and handles pollution control and correction.

If you spot lonely Harbor seal pups look, don’t touch HARBOR HIGHLIGHTS By JOAN BAY KLOPE
Do you watch animal videos online? Yeah, me too. I also gain great joy from taking care of a variety of pets on our property. I’m equally drawn to wildlife and June is particularly fruitful here in the Pacific Northwest. Watching baby birds fledge, “Junior Camper” bunnies hop along the edges of the grass, and marine mammal babies rest along the shoreline pull at my heartstrings. This time each year, my husband, MATT KLOPE, a career biologist and trained volunteer for the Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network, gives me the “Share the Shore” talk regarding the unbelievably cute Harbor seal pups. There are 3,000-5,000 Harbor seal pups born in Washington inland waters June through August each year. Nursing pups remain with their mothers for 4-6 weeks and are then weaned to forage and survive on their own. Pups haul out in the same place for several days or weeks at a time and this means they are not abandoned. These nursing or weaning pups will spend extended hours on the shore resting and regulating their body temperatures. They will often call for their mothers until completely weaned with a sheep-like “ma-a-a-a” and sometimes suck on nearby driftwood or rocks until they become proficient at fishing. Mothers often come ashore and babies nurse at night when there is no human interaction. Up to 50 percent of the pups born will not survive their first year of life due to poor fetal development, premature birth, shoreline predators, dehydration or starvation. Many pups are too young to have developed protective wariness and may not flee when approached while resting or warming. Harbor seal mothers, on the other hand, can likely see you from the water and may not return to nurse their pup if they feel threatened. It is for this reason that curious and big-hearted humans must stay away. Abandoned pups starve to death and it’s gut-wrenching. Thanks to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Harbor seal populations have recovered to healthy numbers. This means the population is now at “carrying capacity” —- the maximum population size our environment can sustain indefinitely. It also means wildlife officials will not intervene in cases of natural mortality. It is equally important to keep in mind that rehabilitation of Harbor seals is difficult and many do not survive. Neither does rehabilitation guarantee the long-term survival of the animal post-release. To act in compliance with this law, we human types must do everything in our power to reduce the chances of human disturbances. This involves staying far away, keeping our dogs leashed and calling the hotline number below only if it appears an animal is seriously injured. It does NOT mean pouring water over a pup, feeding it human food or scooping it up and taking it to your bathtub. While many pups are docile, they gain spunkiness with age and a bite can transmit nasty microorganisms that cause infection. Despite any good intentions, disturbing Harbor seal pups and all other marine mammals is against the law because they deserve the best chance to live into adulthood. If you observe a significantly injured Harbor seal or other marine mammal on Whidbey, you are urged to call 1-866-ORCANET. The Orca Network is dedicated to raising awareness about the whales of the Pacific Northwest and the importance of providing them healthy and safe habitats. It accepts calls from citizens regarding all marine mammals of concern. The information you provide will be referred to area marine mammal stranding network volunteers who will assess the situation and plan a qualified response while working within the law. n Joan Bay Klope may be reached at “Harbor Highlights” at harborhighlights@gmail.com
