Council nixes mayor’s appointment Questions of procedure, decorum dominate the discussion Wednesday By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
An appointment that’s normally routine turned into a battle over parliamentary procedure during Oak Harbor City Council’s Wednesday meeting.
The next day Councilwoman Tara Hizon said she was “horrified” by Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley’s handling of the meeting. “It was the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen,” she said. Councilman Joel Servatius said he had the same concerns. Dudley doesn’t understand his role at the meetings is one of impartial presider, he said. “Clearly, his judgment was clouded by his emotions and personal agenda,” Servatius wrote in an email. “He then
continues to talk over several council members who make a point of order and identify why he is incorrect. “One of the fundamental laws of parliamentary procedure is the presider is the servant of the group.” DUDLEY, HOWEVER, said he plans to schedule a workshop on parliamentary procedure because he believes council members just don’t get it. The trouble started after Dudley appointed

Pending Island Transit service cuts will hit the community hard, and residents let IT officials know it this week. About 20 people Thursday afternoon showed up to the Freeland Library to voice concerns about route cuts and modifications going into effect Sept. 1. The meeting was one of a series the transportation agency is holding on the upcoming service changes. Many attending said they want more details about the financial crisis but didn’t get any answers. The meeting was run by operational staff only. IT Director Martha Rose was not present. The magnitude of the problem wasn’t made clear to staff until June, they said. Gordon Labuhn, a Langley man, said he’d held leadership roles at small corporations for 30 years and is “astounded” by the claims of being blind to the problem until it was too late. “No matter what position I had, I always knew the budgets of every other department,” he said. Last month, Island Transit leaders announced the transportation service was in the grips of a financial crisis and that the board of directors approved taking an $800,000 bank loan to pay bills. To stay afloat, the agency is laying off 20 percent of its work force — 24 workers — ending Saturday bus service, cutting a number of routes and modifying several others. Rose blamed former financial manager Barbara Savary saying she failed to run monthly cash flow analysis
Elks will take over Whidbey Marathon Members of the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge may have to sprint to organize the next Whidbey Island Marathon after getting off to a late start. Oak Harbor City Council approved Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley’s decision to contract with the group. Only Councilman Danny Paggao voted against the motion. Elks member Melissa Riker will serve as director of the city-owned marathon. Ed Sem, an officer of the lodge, noted the charitable work the group does nationally and locally. Only the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gives more in scholarships nationally, he said. “When this race is successful, the Elks can then turn around and give more back to the community,” Riker told the council. Tamra Sipes, former director of the marathon, warned council that coordinating the

Time to tackle tansy
Primary may result in recounts
By JANIS REID
The winners of two hotly contested county races will be moving on to November’s general election. The primary election results remain very tight. Democrat Karla Jacks led the vote count in the race for District 3 Island County commissioner with 3,103 votes, or 48.79 percent, at the last county Thursday. “We’re very pleased,” said Jacks, of Camano Island. “I was surprised. I thought I would do well, but I didn’t think I’d do as well as I did. I appreciate the confidence they have in me.” Retired Navy Chief Rick Hannold narrowly held the second slot after he pulled ahead by 47 votes after being in a virtual dead heat with fellow Republicans Mark Hennemann and Aubrey Vaughan. As of Thursday’s count, Hannold has 941 votes, or 15.24 percent, Vaughan has 894 votes, or 14.48 percent, Hennemann has 872 votes, or 14.12 percent, and Kelly Bagley, also a Republican, trails with 455 votes, or 7.37 percent. “I’m really happy,” Hannold said. “I think the other candidates ran a good race and are all qualified in their own ways. It was tight, as I expected it to be. But I bring more realworld experience to the table.” Vaughan, who will serve as the appointed District 3 commissioner until the November election, said he is disappointed he won’t be competing in the general election. “I got in so late,” said Vaughan, who was the last candidate to declare his candidacy in May. “I was an unknown and I haven’t lived here very long.” Nevertheless, Vaughan is pleased with how much support he received and said he will be “very happy” if Hannold wins the seat because he ran a good campaign. Only voters within District 3 cast ballots for the commissioner primary, but the winner will be decided by a county-wide vote in the general election.

Tansy ragwort, which appears as a daisy-like bunch of yellow flowers atop a tall stalk, remains one of the county’s most pervasive noxious weeds. Not only does the plant quickly invade newly disturbed areas, but it is poisonous to cattle, horses, sheep, pets and even people, according to the county Noxious Weed Prevention Coordinator Janet Stein. Stein and volunteers from the Washington Conservation Corps Crew out of Mount Vernon pulled 2,240 pounds of tansy ragwort this week, estimating well over 10,000 plants. “It is so important to do as much outreach and education about noxious weeds as possible,” Stein said. “There were several times when we were out pulling this week that we saw landowners that had just left the tansy ragwort

Despite their efforts this week, tansy ragwort will be going to seed within the next two weeks, which means the noxious weed will continue to spread. “It’s important to pull these ASAP,” Stein said. Flowering plants should be sealed in a plastic bag and put in trash — not in your compost or yard waste. Stein said noxious weeds can also be disposed of at the Coupeville transfer station for free. n For more information about noxious weeds, visit www.ext100.wsu/island

Like many others in our community, Charnetta Whitehead arrived to Whidbey Island on orders from the U.S. Navy, but has taken advantage of all of the opportunities our small town has to offer. Born and raised in Ohio, Charnetta had primarily worked with developmentally disabled adults, but her passion for assisting individuals with special needs changed once she realized the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Charnetta Whitehead Disorder within our community. While completing her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Brandman University and focusing her undergraduate degree on Autism, Charnetta was hired at Aptitude Habilitation Services, Inc. as an Educational Interventionist for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. She has since then been accepted to the University of Washington’s Masters in Special Education with emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis, with plans to continue giving back to individuals diagnosed with Autism. “Oak Harbor has exceeded all of my expectations and given me memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. I have completed so much in so little time, in such a small community and I look forward to making a difference in the lives of more families.”

Incumbent Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñez took 45 percent of the vote in the primary. She said she is happy she leads the other candidates but hoped to receive more votes going into the general election. Nuñez said her focus now will be “convincing or assuring” voters that they can continue to have faith in her as treasurer. “I am the best qualified candidate,” Nuñez said. It appears Nuñez’s former deputy treasurer Wanda Grone will be her opponent in November. “I am cautiously hopeful,” said Grone, a Republican. “I’m glad to see it’s so close, it shows a lot of people cared about this race. I’m also encouraged that a lot of Republicans voted.” It appears that Grone defeated escrow manager Christa Canell, also a Republican, by a mere 12 votes as of Thursday’s count. An automatic mandatory recount is required in races that are “less than 150 votes and also less than one-fourth of one percent of the total number of votes cast,” according to state law. The Auditor’s Office said that both the District No. 3 commissioner and treasurer races will require an automatic recount. In other races, Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider won 9,259 votes, or 57 percent, against challenger Rebecca Wagner, who received 6,918 votes, or 42.76 percent. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, Prosecutor Greg Banks, Coroner Robert Bishop and County Clerk Debra Van Pelt all ran uncontested. A total of 18,715 ballots were recorded in the primary election, a nearly 37 percent voter turnout. Crider said Thursday that 32-26 percent is typical turnout for a non-presidential primary election. An updated county vote tally will not be posted until the totals are certified on Aug. 19. Results of any write-in candidacies will also be revealed at certification.

HOWARD CONTINUED FROM A1
Oak Harbor resident Cliff Howard, a self-described “politically incorrect” blogger on a conservative political website, to an empty seat on the city’s planning commission. Like any appointment, the legislative body — in this case the City Council — must vote whether to confirm. Howard’s confirmation was first set on the council’s consent agenda July 1, but Councilman Rick Almberg had it pulled and made a motion to reject it. That motion passed unanimously. NEITHER ALMBERG nor any other council member said in their motion why they voted to reject Howard’s appointment. Almberg said having Howard’s resume, which wasn’t provided, would have been “helpful” in making the decision. Councilman Jim Campbell then made a motion to request Howard’s resume be provided for the next council meeting. As a result, confirmation of Howard’s appointment to the commission, along with his resume, appeared on the consent agenda during Wednesday’s meeting. This time, Servatius asked to have the item pulled from the consent agenda and made a motion to reject Howard’s appointment. Almberg seconded it. Then things got confusing. HIZON POINTED out that a motion was previously made and passed; she argued that the same motion can’t be made more than once under the rules of parliamentary procedure. Dudley said Hizon was wrong because Almberg’s motion was different. But Almberg pointed out that the two motions were exactly the same. Nevertheless, the new motion to reject Howard again passed without explanation by the council members; only Campbell voting against the motion. DUDLEY BERATED the council during the “mayor’s comments” portion of the council meeting. “I would encourage you to at least be articulate and vocal in reference to why you chose to reject somebody.” Councilwoman Beth Munns repeatedly interrupted Dudley. She told him that he was violating parliamentary procedure by discussing a motion after it was voted on. Dudley told Munns she was wrong and he had a right to speak his mind. “I believe the reason this individual was rejected was the fact that he was critical
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
of the City Council,” Dudley said, referring to Howard’s blogs. During the council comment period, Hizon said Munns was correct in her interpretation of procedure. LAST OCTOBER, in a post on his blog, Howard called for council members Danny Paggao, Bob Severns and Joel Servatius be replaced by voters during the November 2013 general election. Campbell was the only sitting member of the council recommended for reelection by Howard. In his 2013 post, Howard said Dudley was in need of a city council supportive of his efforts. In March 2014 blog post, Howard called Whidbey NewsTimes Editor and Publisher Keven R. Graves a “pompous, arrogant ass” for writing an editorial critical of Dudley’s secretive actions leading up to the felling of an historic oak tree at the Oak Harbor Post Office. ON THURSDAY, Hizon said she and the mayor attended the same workshop on parliamentary procedure and she can’t understand how he doesn’t know how to run meetings correctly. “His role as chair is to act professionally and according to procedure,” she said. “Neither of those things happened.” The City Council adopted the Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, often referred to as Sturgis, as the guide governing meetings. It’s considered to be a simpler form of Robert’s Rules of Order, but parlia-
THE
mentarians still debate many of the nuances, according to documents on the Municipal Research website. Sturgis makes it clear that it is up to the presiding officer, in this case the mayor, to keep the meetings professional and ensure there are no personal attacks. Yet it also appears that a motion can be brought back before council more than once under certain circumstances. “WHEN A main motion has been acted on and defeated, it cannot be renewed in the same or substantially the same words at the same meeting or convention, but it may be reconsidered at the same meeting or convention and presented as a new motion at a later meeting or convention,” Sturgis states. As for interruptions, it says that a member of the body may do so if he or she feels that procedure isn’t being followed. But council members should say, “point of order,” which Munns did not do. Then Dudley, as the presiding officer, should rule on the point of order. STURGIS ITSELF warns against nitpicking over parliamentary rules, as did former Oak Harbor City Attorney Bill Hawkins after the rules were adopted. “When you adopt Sturgis, it does not mean you follow it blindly,” he said. “You should make it work for you.” “There is room for common sense and negotiation.” Howard said Thursday he is troubled by the “obstructionism” of the City Council. He said Dudley asked him to consider a seat on the

planning commission and he agreed because he cares deeply about the community and wants to make a difference. HOWARD CLAIMS the council’s decision to reject him is political because he supports Dudley and believes he’s trying to do the right thing. “I’m very vocal politically,” he said. “The council and I don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things.” An IT director at a building supply chain, Howard said the planning commis-

He said he would like council members to explain why they rejected him, even if they are critical of him. “I’m used to hearing mean things,” he said. “I’ve lived in Oak Harbor all my life.” HIZON SAID she doesn’t feel comfortable discussing reasons for rejecting Howard’s appointment publicly, but that her decision wasn’t politically motivated. Hizon said she welcomes a diversity of opinions in gov-
ernment. However, Hizon said she’s read some of Howard’s blogs and believes he misstated and misunderstood decisions made by the city. “There’s a lack of understanding of the process,” she said. Almberg said he also doesn’t have anything against Howard. “I think that there are several potential candidates out there and the mayor has the opportunity to make a better selection.”

IN OUR OPINION
Citizens shouldn’t be left to speculate on reasons why Members of the Oak Harbor City Council twice rejected Oak Harbor resident and conservative blogger Cliff Howard for a position on the city’s planning commission. Trouble is, none of the council members have said why they don’t want him on the volunteer board, leaving voters — and the mayor — to speculate on the reasons. For that matter, Mayor Scott Dudley should explain why he thinks Howard, who is highly critical of most council members and a champion of the mayor, is the best choice for the planning commissioner. It might be awkward or uncomfortable sometimes, but elected leaders owe it to constituents to explain their decisions publicly. Dudley chose to appoint Howard to the commission, the most important board in the city. It can be a stepping stone for people with political aspirations. As Councilwoman Tara Hizon recently pointed out, the commission has important work ahead next year as the city updates its comprehensive plan. It’s a huge task that will have a very real impact on development and growth. It makes some sense that the council wants strong candidates to the position. At the same time, it is rare for the council to block such an appointment. Dudley was clearly not happy with the council’s action Wednesday night. He strayed from his role as non-biased, keeper-of-order at the meeting. He publicly criticized the council’s decision and allowed the meeting to descend into a situation in which people were talking over one another. It’s not Dudley’s place to question the motives of the council in rejecting his candidate. But they lent to the chaos by not citing a reason. Howard told the Whidbey News-Times that he would like an explanation, even if it meant that they criticized him publicly. He said he understood that part of the public process is that elected officials may discuss his qualifications. After the meeting, Hizon explained that she read some of Howard’s blogs and didn’t believe he understands some key issues facing the city. Councilman Rick Almberg said he thinks there are better candidates. Dudley must now find another candidate to appoint to the commission. Hopefully, he chooses a candidate who understands land use and isn’t a political statement.

Dudley in no position to be casting stones Editor, I would like to address something specific within the article regarding county leaders calling for the resignation of Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose and others pursuant to the recent discovery of financial mismanagement at the agency. I am referring to that which was attributed to Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley. According to the article, Dudley said, “I’m all about accountability” and stated that he would resign under similar circumstances. While it is inarguable that Rose’s accomplishments at Island Transit are quite laudable, inasmuch as the breach of public trust is indefensible, the best thing for Rose to do for Island Transit is to step down. Her continued presence will only serve to distract from and inhibit the process of recovering and moving forward
from this matter. However, that Dudley would expect anyone to believe that he is “all about accountability” is as laughable in its ludicrousness as it is vexatious in its hypocrisy. Dudley’s claim, taking into account his rather storied record, is representative of what is becoming all too frequent from our elected leaders — forgetting that they are accountable to the voters, assuming that they know better than anyone else what is best for their constituents, and lastly, forgetting to take a long, hard look in the mirror prior to questioning — let alone publicly decrying — the behavior of others. In failing to accept any accountability for his past transgressions and unilateral, closed-door decision making, arrogantly assuming he knows what is best, and for subsequently judging others for the very behavior and traits that he is wont to display, all Dudley has accomplished by weighing in on the matter is to portray an air of hypocrisy and advertise that his claim to accountability is little more than lip service. Richard Johnston Douglas, Ariz.
Rose’s third child is Island Transit Editor, I have known Martha Rose for almost 20 years. I’ve worked with her on the Steering Committee of the Sustainable Whidbey Coalition for several years and know her to be a person of integrity with a deep passion and commitment to Island Transit. I can also vouch for her husband and two beautiful, adopted children. I recognize that this is a crisis that should never have happened. As a user and promoter of mass transit, I know its importance to the community and to our future. Island Transit is a joy, a great asset and a model for others. I am deeply troubled by this catastrophe. She is not the only person who missed this snafu. Having served on many boards, I understand that, ultimately, it is the board of directors that should be providing the fiscal oversight. SEE PIAZZON, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6
To miss an accounting error this huge by all these dedicated, responsible people indicates to me that there was some very sly accounting manipulations similar to those used by ENRON and our unregulated banking industry that brought us the 2008 fiscal collapse, which almost resulted in another Great Depression. Before we throw this serviceoriented servant under the bus, we ought to get the big picture. I can imagine how Martha feels. You see, she has three children. Her third is Island Transit. Gary Piazzon Coupeville
Letter
President is ‘much loved?’ By whom? Editor, Although I certainly can agree that posters or pictures of the president in the local post office should not be defaced, I have some quarrel with the writer of the letter to the editor in the
Aug. 6 Whidbey News-Times. The first comment about Barack Obama being “much loved” begs the question, by whom? Certainly not by me and many of my friends and lovers of this great country. “Much loved” is a total misrepresentation. Our nation has seven or eight areas of major concern, both foreign and domestic, in which he seems to be totally detached. Just where is the president on these issues? I’ll enlighten you — he is nowhere to be seen unless it’s playing pool, basketball or golf. He is the most detached leader we have ever had, in my memory. And as to the need to “respect the office,” since Hitler was mentioned, I ask would the writer “respect” his office, for he was chancellor of Germany. Or how about Saddam Hussein, president of Iraq — for a time — or Benito Mussolini, il Duce of Italy? No, I don’t think the writer would respect those “offices” if she lived in those countries. Our “president” needed to earn our respect, but time for that has long passed. His presence in the Oval Office is a travesty and neither he, nor his office, deserves respect, at least not from me.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
The writer also mentioned being a member of a group that pickets for peace, and that is commendable, for we all want peace. However, I would suggest that the picketing be moved to areas controlled by Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas or, better yet, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Here we all want peace, but I think we’re in the minority, so maybe that effort might well be directed to those who don’t. Fred Stilwell Oak Harbor
Perhaps mustache on signs deserved Editor, I read with amusement in the Aug. 6, 2014 Whidbey News-Times a letter bemoaning disrespect of our “muchloved” president. But how do we protest when our mail is read and answered by staffers for the president, our senators and representatives and they never see them? Few papers print anti-Obama letters. The writer does not like people drawing mustaches on the president who has a “pen and phone” to rule.
I do not like people who burn the American flag, but both are protected under the First Amendment. She has yet to figure out that the truth to President Barack Obama is anathema. One of his very first promises — which, of course, he broke — was that his administration’s touchstones were transparency and the rule of law. The opposite is true. His list of prevarications are seamless while a litany of scandals are swept under the rug. The IRS is now auditing churches, not mosques, for political speech. Obama does not lift a finger to protect Christians in Asia and Africa who are being slaughtered, crucified and beheaded, nor will he take 10 minutes to call the president of Mexico to release a Marine who has been in jail for months, although he insists “no man will be left behind.” Finally, our “much-loved” president has issued through the secretary of defense “rules of engagement” that have favored the enemy and have accounted for the blood of thousands of American servicemen and women killed and wounded. Perhaps the mustache is, at least, a little deserved. Bill Schoonover Oak Harbor

She was born March 27, 1927, in Oak Harbor to Frank and Gertrude Lampers, one of nine children, including five sisters and three brothers, and attended Oak Harbor Christian Grade School. Theresa married Harold Faber in 1946 and enjoyed 44 wonderful years together. Theresa was a wonderful, devoted wife to Harold and mother to her three children, Beverly Wilson (Charley) of Peoria, Ariz.; Marvin Faber (Carol) of Phoenix; and Nancy Van Dam (Ron) of Oak Harbor. Two sisters, Myrtle Balster of Oak Harbor and Nell Donovan of Auburn, Wash., and one brother, Calvin Lampers of Lacey, Wash., also survive. Six grandchildren, Jessica Noriega, Andrea Morrison, Tyson Van Dam, Nicole Hache, Lacey Lang and Aaron Faber, and six great-grandchildren, Brooke, Braydie and Bryce Noriega, Connor and Savannah Lang and Colby Van
Dam also survive. Theresa enjoyed gardening and was known for her beautiful yard and flowers. She loved working in her kitchen making her famous homemade breads and delicious soup. We will all miss her amazing warm cinnamon rolls. Hospitality was also her gift, hosting many dinners for family and friends. She shared her food with many people. Theresa was a member of the Christian Reformed Church of Oak Harbor. She was very involved with Coffee Break Bible Study, Mission Circle and bringing her homemade bread to those who visited the church. She loved playing games and always looked forward to Friday afternoon card playing. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Gertrude Lampers; her loving husband, Harold; her sisters, Marie Lampers, Gertrude Sullivan and Anna VanderPol; and brothers Jake Lampers and Martin Lampers. We will miss her lively conversations and quick wit. Visitation for Theresa will be held 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, 2014, at Wallin Funeral Home.

Parkhurst
Pamela Jane Parkhurst
Pamela Jane Parkhurst was born May 16, 1956, to the late John and Marie Parkhurst of Coupeville. She grew up as the little sister to Jack Parkhurst, the late Jerry Parkhurst, the late Don Parkhurst, Jimmy Parkhurst, the late Joanie Stolt and Robby Parkhurst and the big sister to Paul Parkhurst, Rosie Ferguson and Lori Kalac. She was Aunt Pam to many beloved nieces and nephews. On June 1, 1977, Pam was blessed with her greatest joy — her one and only child, son David John Tyrrell. An avid lover of the water and beaches, she spent her childhood enjoying the beauty of Oak Harbor and those memories have stayed with her throughout life. Pam attended school in the
Oak Harbor School District and had many friends during those years. Pam spent the majority of her career as a restaurateur. Some of her favorite activities she enjoyed were all spent outside boating, hiking, bicycling, camping or eating oysters in the Northwest sunshine on Hope Island. Her greatest accomplishment and one of her fondest memories is the three-day cycle over Cayuse Pass with her son encouraging her as he pulled the 50-pound trailer uphill. She cycled over the Golden Gate and walked over the Brooklyn Bridge as well. Pam found the man she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with in September 2004. She wed John Rene Lateste on Oct. 2, 2010. Pam has a flood of memories of their many road trips across the U.S. Some of her fondest include the East Coast — a trip that satisfied her palate with the abundant seafood she reluctantly admits surpasses the West Coast seafood she grew up on, with the exception of oysters, of course. Lobster being her favorite; she couldn’t get enough of it. The Sierra Mountains in California and Colorado’s mountain ranges also top the list. With family in Southern California, a day at the happiest place on earth brought a smile to her face. Hiking miles down a mountain and farther down a canyon to beautiful turquoise water, Havasu Falls took her breath away. Pam passed on Friday, July 18, 2014, in Madras, Ore., surrounded by nature’s beauty. Her smile, laugh and spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014, at Flintstone Park in Oak Harbor.

Our beloved mother, Ruth Elizabeth Oldenburg Kirk, passed away July 28, 2014, from natural causes. She was born Sept. 5, 1923, in Oak Harbor, Wash., to John and Cressie Oldenburg. Her early childhood was spent on the Oldenburg family farm, which is 40 acres adjacent to Deception Pass Park on North Whidbey Island. She grew up with five older brothers who all preceeded her in death. Her mother and father died when she was still a child. Following the death of her parents, she was raised by her brothers and their wives. After graduation from Oak Harbor High School, she attended Washington State College for a year. During World War II, she worked in Seattle and married David Bettles Kirk on Jan. 30, 1943. They raised three children, James David Kirk, Gig Harbor; Steven George Kirk, Woodinville; and Alice Leona Kirk Anderson, Post Falls, Idaho. Ruth was preceded in death by her beloved David, her husband of 66 years. She is survived by her children and their spouses, six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Ruth loved spending time with her family and watching her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She worked for the Oak Harbor School District as a school secretary for many years until her retirement in 1980. She loved to fish and travel with her husband and friends.

Former Wildcat returns to lead OHHS cheer team By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Kimberly Cherry is going back to step one. And, in this case, she has no problem with that. Cherry is the new Oak Harbor High School cheer coach, returning to where she began her cheer career, then as Kimberly Boon, as a Wildcat freshman in 1999. She closed out her high school years by finishing ninth in the National Cheerleader of the Year competition in 2002. “I wanted to be the OHHS coach since I was on the team myself,” Cherry said. “The amazing coaching that I had from Pam (Headridge) and Robin (Gohn) led me to have such a passion for the sport of cheerleading.” Cherry replaces Crista Carlson, who coached one year. The Oak Harbor program was highly successful under the guidance of Headridge and Gohn, and Cherry will lean on what she was taught from the pair as she begins her own OHHS coaching tenure.
“Part of what I will do is to continually try to build this program to be bigger and better,” Cherry said. To do that, she will be “a teacher first, coach second.” To continue the program’s success, Cherry said, she will focus on the fundamentals. “On top of the basics, I want to get the squad learning the new and much more advanced parts of stunting and cheer,” she said. “I have high expectations and standards for my cheerleaders and know that with hard work, we can bring back a successful program.” Her goals for her athletes are for them to grow as individuals and teammates and for the squad to be community oriented. “I would like everyone on my team to strive to become outstanding cheerleaders, students, community members and teammates,” Cherry said. “We will represent OHHS to the highest degree, whether at games, performances, events or out in the community. Each cheerleader is required to be passing at all times, and I set

New Oak Harbor High School cheer coach Kimberly Cherry meets with her squad during a summer workout. a high expectation to do the best they can in each class, as they are students as well as athletes.” Once the athletes have left her program, Cherry hopes they will have learned to “never give up.” “I would like my athletes to learn to be good teammates, learn what it is like to be a leader and strive to give 100 percent, 100 percent of the time,” she added.
“I want them to go home at the end of practice or the game and be happy that they chose to be a part of the team,” she said. The Wildcats, in addition to cheering for Oak Harbor High School, will be involved in community events (such as parades and the Rotary Challenge), hold a youth cheer camp in July and volunteer with the youth football cheerleaders.
After Cherry’s four-year high school cheer career, she coached the Liberty Cheer All-Stars for two years, volunteered to help the OHYFL cheerleaders for three years and served as a volunteer assistant coach for Headridge at OHHS in 2007-8. Cherry also became a judge for cheer competitions, winning the Washington State Cheer Judges Association Rookie of the Year Award in
2009. She is now the WSCJA treasure. Always a Wildcat at heart, Cherry is “super excited” to return to where it all began 15 years ago. “I want to continue to teach the students in the community the sport and hope that they also get as much fulfillment and pride from being a Wildcat cheerleader as I did,” she said.

Sanctioned BBQ contest brings seasoned pros to Oak Harbor to battle some of community’s best By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Roger Anglum swears by his mop and special sauce. Not barbecue sauce from the store, mind you. That’s for backyard amateurs. Anglum considers the light sauce he makes himself and mops on to flavor his ribs while they’re cooking the key component to quality barbecue. Approaching 73, the Oak Harbor grandfather of eight will bring his barbecue secrets into the revamped Oak Harbor Pigfest Sunday and see how he stacks up against some smokin’ competition. Anglum is among a handful of Oak Harbor barbecuers in a field of 20 that will compete in the Oak Harbor event’s first Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association-sanctioned BBQ Competition. Barbecue professionals from the Seattle area and other parts of Washington and Canada will converge on Pioneer Way to go after thousands of dollars of cash prizes, including $1,000 for first place. The big-time barbecue competition is one of the major changes to a community festival that has also changed its name and location. Formerly known as the Fidalgo Avenue Pig Roast, the event is now called the Oak Harbor Pigfest and will take place noon–5 p.m. Aug. 10 in a more visible location on Pioneer Way within sight of traffic from State Highway 20. Access from the highway to Pioneer Way will be closed to make way for activities that will stretch from Wells Fargo Bank to City Beach Street. “It’s a lot different planning the event. It’s more complicated when you move,” said Scott Fraser, owner of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway, who started the Pigfest in 2008 as a way to
Food and fun The centerpiece of the Oak Harbor Pigfest, from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday in downtown, is a free buffet lunch, but the event features several activities and contests for children and adults. Among the events is a barbecue competition for the pros and hot dog and pie-eating contests for the amateurs. There also will be a large climbing wall and water activities for kids and comedy and juggling acts by Coupeville’s Marcus Raymond and Seattle’s Eric Haines. Roughly $75,000 has been donated to local charities in the Pig Roast’s past six years. This year, Pigfest proceeds will benefit the North Whidbey Help House, Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse and the Safety Net of Oak Harbor.

say thank you to the community. “We have more of everything. More kids’ stuff. More food.” The event’s biggest draw is the large free meal cooked for the public. This year, 3,000 pounds of pork will be served up — 1,000 pounds more than last year. Donations will be accepted on site. “We’re expecting another 2,000 people,” Fraser said, pointing to better visibility from the highway. “We’re hoping to feed 5,000 to 6,000 people this year. We’ll have to see how the food line can handle it.” The barbecue competition isn’t new; however, this is the first time is it sanctioned, with the majority of participants coming from outside Whidbey Island, including four from Canada. Judges will be grading the results and about $7,000 will be awarded. “It’s going to be a whole different ballgame,” Anglum said.

Anglum mixes his own seasonings and spices to rub on the meat and creates his own sauce to mop on while it’s grilling over charcoal and apple wood. He’ll spray the meat with apple juice to crystalize the rub on it. “It keeps the ribs and chicken nice and moist,”
Anglum said. “That’s the secret. Don’t cook too hot and don’t let it dry out on you.” The secrets vary by participant. Brian Adams, who manages the lounge at the Fleet Reserve Association Branch 97 in Oak Harbor, took top
honors at last year’s Pig Roast competition, which landed him his second giant pig trophy. He’s a fast learner, barbecuing for less than three years while following the guidance of friend Billy SEE BARBECUE, A11

Boshears, who learned the craft while living in Texas. “He’s my Mr. Miyagi,” Adams said. Adams does his cooking on a barbecue grill he calls the “rusty bucket,” which he rescued from a field behind the building. He believes it was made in the 1980s. “If you want to be on our cooking team, you’ve got to have your tetanus shots up to date,” Adams joked. Adams mixes up his own rubs and barbecues with fruit wood and sometimes a little mesquite. Vitto Ferrara, a barbecue caterer from Marysville who’s been competing in professional barbecue com-

This iconic Oak Harbor Victorian home was built in 1912 by Berend ‘Ben’ Loers for his wife, Aaltje DeVries.
The home was later sold. It remains a visible reminder of Oak Harbor’s past perched above State Highway 20 near the south entrance into town and is surrounded by apartments and condominiums. As part of a “Looking Back” series, local author and pioneer descendant Peggy Darst Townsdin is sharing photos with the Whidbey News-Times and its readers. Townsdin’s photo history book, “Oak Harbor,” was published by Arcadia Publishing earlier this year.

petitions in the Northwest and beyond for three years, learned how to barbecue while growing up in Florida and uses wood from citrus trees to add a different flavor. Competitors are trying all sorts of things to gain an edge, including flying in longtime mentors for assistance. That’s what Jackie Stoneham did. As owner and chef of a mobile business based in Oak Harbor, Orlando’s Fish and Grill, Stoneham and her family have become known for their barbecue across Whidbey Island and took second place at the Pig Roast competition last year. With the stakes higher this year, she bought a plane ticket for her father,

Alphesia Thomas, to fly in from Arizona and join their team Sunday. Thomas, from Mobile, Ala., taught his daughter a lot about barbecuing while she grew up. She laughed about flying in her dad, but knows this competition is serious business. “The biggest thing is we want people to know who we are,” Stoneham said. Participants in the competition will begin firing up their charcoal grills just before midnight Saturday and will get little to no sleep as they prepare for Sunday morning’s judging, which starts at 11 a.m. “It’s mostly an all-night project,” Anglum said.

On each hour, they will have only 10 minutes to prepare their dishes and present them to the judges.. “If somebody comes by to talk to me and I don’t talk to them, I’m not trying to be rude,” Anglum said. “Presentation is a big part of the points, besides flavor and texture of it.” Adams said he thinks Oak Harbor barbecuers stack up well against the competition. “Some guys want to show what Oak Harbor’s got,” he said. “I want to show what Oak Harbor’s got. I want to win this thing. You’re in it to win it. We might as well keep it in our own backyard.”

Arts & Crafts Fest Saturday, Sunday This year, Benye Webber says she is going to kick back and let someone else run the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival. This year’s festival is Saturday and Sunday. It’s held along Coupeville’s historic waterfront. “We’re going to do some shopping, see what’s there,” Webber said. “We’re excited about it and thrilled to see where it’s gone.” Webber, who has been involved in the festival in one way or another since 1965, said that while specifics of the festival have changed, its goal hasn’t. “The vision hasn’t changed,” Webber said. “I can see it going on for another 50 years. Webber was chairwoman of the information booth since she was president roughly a dozen years ago. “It’s the heart and soul of many of us,” Webber said. “When I came here, I felt like I had come home.” Though the festival now takes place on the street, the first Arts and Crafts Festival took place mostly inside the buildings, according to Mike Dessert, current festival president. Dessert has taken on the role of festival historian and has gathered as much historical information as he could. For the first festival, Albert Heath worked out a color scheme for painting the buildings so they would contrast with Penn Cove as a background; thus, blue was not used, Dessert said. History was as important
then as it is now to the community, and local historian Jimmie Jean Cook gave talks on the history of Front Street buildings. The festival included children’s activities, displays of local artists’ work, and the first art gallery in Coupeville. Art was collected from both the Coupeville and Oak Harbor school districts and displayed in Races’ drug store as the “Children’s Gallery.” It was rumored to be very popular, Dessert said. Grace and Alexander streets were unpaved, as was the Coupeville Recreation Hall parking lot. The areas weren’t paved until the 1970s, Webber said. “It was all about saving Front Street,” Webber said. “I was simply enthralled with that.” According to her, there were about 25 artists in the first festival, and according to newspaper reports of the day, it drew roughly 2,000 people. Today, the festival features hundreds of artists and artisans, drawing more than 10,000 people to the event each year. “It really draws people,” Webber said. “It’s because they’re so friendly and so giving. We were so welcomed by so many people.” “From the start, the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival has been all about the community and its volunteers,” according to Dessert. “This great festival had its very beginning rooted in the community and its willingness to come together and do something to make their community a better place.”

MISSING CONTINUED FROM A1 reports for years. Savary was fired in May. Several people at the meeting asked why Rose, or other financial administrators, weren’t present to answer financial questions. “Where’s the leadership?” asked an unidentified woman. According to Shawn Harris, opera-
ELKS CONTINUED FROM A1 event takes a huge commitment of time and skills only a professional can bring. “This is a huge undertaking,” she said. “And I would beg you to at least consider someone who could pull this off, especially given the short period of time.” Earlier this year, Sipes, who’s been director since the city purchased the event years ago, sent an email to the council urging them to make a decision about this year’s contract as soon as possible. She noted that lining up sponsors and vendors takes up to a year in advance. Several council members tried to push a contract forward — and emphasized how successful it had become under Sipes’ watch — but
tions manager for Island Transit, it was a decision to staff the community meetings with operational staff only. The purpose was to get feedback from the public about the service changes, and attendance by leading agency officials would be a distraction. “It’s just two different meetings,” said Harris, adding that just such a gathering will likely happen at some point. Gary Bluhm, a Langley resident, is legally blind and regularly relies on public transportation. He said cuts could be more evenly distributed throughout
Dudley resisted. As mayor, it is his responsibility to decide who will fill the role. The mayor said he isn’t happy with Sipes’ work and looked into other options. He said participation steadily declined until this year, when it skyrocketed due to a decision to cut runners’ fees. As a result, Sipes received a $23,000 bonus for increased participation on top of her $28,000 contract amount. At the same time, the event was a money loser for the city. The finance director estimates it cost $37,000. However, it was Dudley’s decision to add a clause in Sipes’ contract awarding her a bonus for increased participation. Dudley put out a call for proposals to run the marathon and received five responses. He said he chose the Elks partly because the

the system, that he pays taxes like Oak Harbor residents, but will be without service for at least one year. “Go find the money,” Bluhm said. “It’s out there, go find it.” Transit staff at the meeting expressed personal heartache over the cuts, and acknowledged the organization has a tough job ahead. “We’ve definitely lost a trust, and we’re going to work as hard as we can to earn that back,” Harris said. “Hopefully we can get past what has to happen right now.”
profits will go back into the community. Wednesday, several council members said they appreciate all that Sipes did to make the marathon a success. Councilman Rick Almberg asked Dudley why he wanted the change. “Once again, it’s a question of seeing what we can do to continue to improve,” he said. Thursday, Sipes said she’s concerned about the future of an event she worked so hard to improve. She’s also upset that Dudley doesn’t understand or appreciate all she did. “Apparently the award
I received from the Washington State Festival and Events Association last year placing the marathon second to Seafair and Bumbershoot needs improving,” she said. “Maybe I was fired because it was singled out as the marathon to run in Washington State on Flipkey’s 50 states of marathons to run. Or maybe it was the press the marathon received in Runner’s World Magazine and Men’s Fitness Magazine this past year as ‘One of the Best Marathons’ along with other media and international attention.” “Maybe it was just too successful for the mayor.”
DROP
CONTINUED FROM A1 Nowadays, Barb Williams is director of the camp for children with physical disabilities, sponsored by the North Seattle Kiwanis Club, and she and her husband have a summer home in Coupeville. The camp concluded last week in Coupeville, but not without another magical moment for Williams and the large group of campers, counselors and club members on hand. Williams worked with Jet City Skydiving of Oak Harbor to set up a surprise air drop to present the 2014 camp T-shirts. Campers gathered outside in the early afternoon Aug. 1, believing they were going to take part in an outdoor activity unaware
of Williams’ surprise. Counselors started a chant about T-shirts as a plane approached overhead, then unloaded three skydivers who landed on the grassy field with bags of T-shirts in tow. The idea was a hit to the campers, who cheered as they spotted the skydivers high in the sky. Kiwanis Club raised about $45,000 to put on the one-week camp, which has been taking place at Camp Casey for about 80 years and is the annual focus of the club’s fundraising efforts. Normally, 60 counselors attend to work closely with the children. The air drop was a first for Williams, in her fifth year as the club’s director. “She is the heartbeat,” said David Little, president of the Lynnwood Kiwanis Club who came to volunteer his help.
