Oops! Parks board rescinds appointment Commissioners jump the gun in seating former office manager
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Commissioners with the North Whidbey Park and Recreation plan to rescind the recent appointment of one of two commissioners to the elected board. It’s not because of their choice of candidates, though one of the commissioners admits he’s concerned by the other com-
missioners’ selection of the former office manager, who was fired, filed a lawsuit against the district and was accused of questionable bookkeeping by the state Auditor’s Office. Rather, the problems arose in the process followed in making the appointment, according to Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider. The board has had veritable musical chairs of commissioners over the last few years. Only one of the current commis-
sioners was actually elected; the others were appointed. This summer, Commissioner Kirk Huffer resigned because he was moving out of state. He was appointed to the board the prior year after another commissioner resigned. The district advertised the open position and received four “viable” applicants, said commission Chairman Allan SEE PARKS BOARD, A10
Island Transit study to look at charging fares By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Island Transit Director Martha Rose discusses financial problems at the agency during a special meeting of the transit board of directors Friday morning.
Island Transit will hire an outside consultant to conduct a study on whether it makes sense to charge fares on the island’s buses. When that study will happen and how it will be funded are unanswered questions, but members of IT’s board of directors made it clear during a special meeting Friday that the study will happen. “I think the community deserves to have this study,” said Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a member of the transit board. Price Johnson requested the special meeting in order to discuss the ongoing financial problems that forced the agency to take out loans, cut routes and lay off employees. She is going to be absent from the regular meeting next Friday. Board members and Rose briefly discussed the state audit. SEE BUS FARES, A10
Patriots honored during Sept. 11 ceremony at NAS Whidbey By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Service members, firefighters and first responders bowed their heads in silence at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Thursday as a show of respect
for the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. “We are warriors, whether we are civilians or military,” said Ron Hancock, chaplain for the Oak Harbor Fire Department. During his prayer, Hancock said that
he has toured the site where the Twin Towers fell and his impression was that those who died would say “to live our lives in a worthy way” that would make them proud. Navy Region Northwest Fire and
Emergency Services Chief Sean Merrill thanked the Oak Harbor community for being inclusive of the military personnel. “This is a premier military community,” Merrill said. “There’s no line drawn; SEE PATRIOTS, A10

Christian school writes cards to honor first responders on 9/11 By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Oak Harbor Christian School honored the men and women who serve last Thursday in observance of Patriot Day. Ann Jaques and her fourth- and fifth-grade class let local firefighters and police officers know how they are appreciated. The class wrote about 20 thank-you cards to give to the Oak Harbor Fire Department and Oak Harbor Police Department on Sept. 11. “It was just an opportunity for us to express our thankfulness for their service,” Jaques said, “and just to remember how they put
their lives on the line for us, and to reflect on that. “Make sure that they know we appreciate them.” The cards were picked up by the end of the day by Ted Diamond, father of fourth grader Colin Diamond. The pair personally delivered the cards to the police and fire departments. Jaques said the project came about after she read a book to her class about Sept. 11. She then talked with her students “about what it means to be a hero.” “And then we wrote some cards for some of our first responders to just thank them for protecting us,” Jaques said.
Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kathy Reed was fired suddenly Friday. The chamber’s Board of Directors released a twoparagraph statement Friday afternoon to announce the termination. The press releases stated that the board wishes Reed “best of luck in her future endeavors.” Chamber President Jason McFadyen said the board voted unanimously Friday to make the leadership change effective the same day, and that all the board members were present. McFadyen would not say why the decision was made. When asked, board members referred to McFadyen for questions. “The board of directors decided to go in a different direction,” McFadyen said. “We thank her for the year and a half she put in.” Reed was the editor of the Whidbey Crosswind when she was selected to fill the role of chamber director.
Kathy Reed She replaced Jill Johnson, who was elected as an Island County commissioner. Reed spearheaded the chamber’s “Jets equal Jobs” campaign and has been outspoken in her support of the Navy. But her tenure hasn’t been without controversy. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley raised concerns with the chamber and suggested that some of the lodging tax revenues that the organization receives should be directed elsewhere. Oak Harbor council members continued their financial support of the
chamber, however. On Friday, Dudley suggested that the chamber board made the wrong choice when they selected Reed in the first place. He said only one candidate for the position made a point of reaching out to the city to see what could be done to improve the relationship. “Did we get that from Kathy Reed?” he said. “Absolutely not.” Most recently, Reed wrote a letter of recommendation for Melissa Riker, an Elks Lodge member who applied to become the director of the Oak Harbor Marathon. McFadyen sent emails to all the council members explaining that Reed should not have used chamber of commerce letterhead in making such a recommendation, and that the chamber had no opinion on the position. McFadyen also attended a City Council meeting and reiterated that message. “I read into that, that things were not going well,” Dudley said. Reed could not be reached Friday for comment.

deck fire in Oak Harbor Thursday afternoon. The fire was caused by discarded smoking materials, according to Oak Harbor Fire Department Chief Ray Merrill. The small deck fire originated in a metal bucket on the porch of an apartment off of Mulberry Street. The resident, who was not at home at the time of the fire, had put a wooden panel inside the bucket where cigarette butts were discarded. As residents of the building were evacuating, the fire alarm was pulled, alerting
fire departments. The sprinkler system also went off and extinguished the fire before it could get inside the apartment complex. “The fire sprinkler system did its job,” Merrill said. Damage to the deck was minor. Merrill said there was some water damage to the lower levels of the building as a result of the sprinklers going off. The Oak Harbor Fire Department and the Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services responded to the alarm.

A Ride two Remember aims to beat Alzheimer’s MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
An Oak Harbor care facility employee took a “Ride Two Remember” Monday in an effort to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. The tandem bike ride was completed by Ami Timm and riding partner Mike Merickel. Timm is the Life Enrichment Coordinator for HomePlace Special Care Center in Oak Harbor, a facility that takes care of residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia. HomePlace is also participating in a Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Sept. 13, in Burlington. They’ve been fundraising for the event for a while, including having a bake sale during the Music Festival. They raised hundreds of dollars
before the bike ride Monday. Timm raised $1,424 with the bike ride. “What started out as … a silly kind of idea, which I didn’t think would go that far, has earned probably more money than I ever imagined,” Timm said. “I’m really humbled by the amount of people that have donated.” The idea came about while Merickel’s mother, Mary Lou Reilly Merickel, who had Alzheimer’s, was a resident at HomePlace. Timm said she had always wanted to ride a tandem bike, and when she discovered that Merickel and his wife Nancy tandem ride nearly every day, an opportunity arose for her to cross off an item on her bucket list. Merickel is one of 13 children. Her mother died about a week ago after her fight
with Alzheimer’s. Timm decided to dedicate the ride to Mary Lou and bought three purple balloons to release before the ride. Purple is the color for Alzheimer’s. “I have three (balloons), one for her, one for people that have died from Alzheimer’s and one for those that suffer from it,” Timm said. At 10:30 a.m. Monday, just before taking off for the ride, Timm, Merickel, together with his wife, and Missy Merickel each released a balloon into the air. “This is really about Alzheimer’s awareness,” Timm said. “And it’s really near and dear to Nancy and Mike and their family.” “They were big supporters, and a lot of their family also sent me donations. “Without them, this

Bookkeeper sentenced to 21 months in prison By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A former bookkeeper who stole from two North Whidbey community organizations was recently sentenced to prison. Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock also ordered Wendy Murphy, a 51-year-old Oak Harbor resident, to pay $230,000 in restitution. Murphy pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to two counts of theft in the first degree with aggravated circumstances. Hancock agreed with the recommended exceptional sentence worked out in a plea bargain. He handed down a 21-month prison term, which will commence Sept. 24. Murphy was working as the bookkeeper for Rolling Hills-Glencairn Community Service and Hillcrest Village Water Co. when she stole
funds from the organizations over a three-year period. The thefts were discovered last year. Both groups fired Murphy and filed lawsuits against her. Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case and found that Murphy gambled away the money she stole, his report indicates. Murphy made thousands of dollars of unauthorized charges on the Rolling Hills’ Visa. Murphy also wrote a series of unauthorized checks from the Hillcrest account to her husband, herself and the Rolling Hills-Glencairn account, apparently to hide some of her theft from Rolling Hills. At the sentencing hearing, Hancock ordered Murphy to pay $49,000 to Rolling Hills and $181,000 to Hillcrest Village Water Company.
Fish, wildlife hearing extended to Sept. 22 Island County commissioners voted to extend the public hearing on the fish and wildlife update another few weeks. The public hearing will be at 6:15 p.m. Sept. 22 in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room. Since the update began, the county has held 28 public meetings on the update and asked the state for at least one extension. Farmers and environmen-
talists have clashed on the update, which is required by the Growth Management Act to protect critical areas. Regulated streams that often serve as agricultural drainage ditches would be subject to more strict governmental oversight due to the presence of crucial wetlands or animal habitat. The most current ordinance updates can be found at www.islandcounty.net

IN OUR OPINION
Parks board needs to go extra mile to regain public trust There are some conclusions to be drawn from the latest head-scratcher out of the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District. The trouble-ridden district, which oversees the operation of John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, has egg on its face after being forced to rescind an appointment on the district’s elected board because board members failed to follow the legally proper process. That the park board made such a preventable gaffe indicates that there’s either a total lack of understanding of the law or, worse yet, a complete disregard for the legal process. Neither excuse is acceptable. The board failed to advertise the position properly, and the outgoing parks commissioner voted to fill his own seat — neither of which is allowed under state law governing such appointments. That the appointee was a former staffer who was terminated in 2012 speaks poorly of the commissioners’ respect for the taxpayers.
The commissioners appointed Victoria Robinson, a former office manager for the district and treasurer of the swim team. A state audit that followed her termination found more than $18,000 in unexplained adjustments made to swim club members’ accounts. The audit report alleges that Robinson posted $2,738 to her own family’s account on her last day as treasurer for the swim team without making an actual payment. The money was paid before the audit was completed. Robinson and another terminated Park District employee filed lawsuits against the district alleging wrongful termination. The district settled with the terminated employees, paying them about $20,000 each. That should have been the end of the matter — an agreement to part ways. The park district commissioners need to be more cognizant of their role in protecting the public interests and preventing even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Rebuilding the trust of taxpayers must be job No. 1. Whomever the parks board ultimately hires to fill the commissioner position should be someone without significant ties to the Park District or pool. Don’t appoint former employees. Don’t appoint aquatic club parents. Appoint a candidate who has a strong set of skills that could be useful on the board. Keep everything transparent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Election
League offers forums to help educate voters Editor, With summer on Whidbey Island a fading memory, it’s time to pay attention to the candidates who are running for elected office and ballot measures that will be before us in the Nov. 4 general election. Once again, the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island will give the voting public a chance to meet the candidates, hear their positions and listen to their answers to challenging questions. The League takes great pride in presenting forums with an objective, non-partisan format and considers it one of the most important services that we provide to our members and the community at large. The League and the Sno-Isle Libraries will co-sponsor two forums this upcoming general election season: The first one will be held 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Freeland and will feature the candidates running for
Legislative District No. 10 representative, Position No. 2, Island County commissioner, District No. 3 and Island County treasurer. Panels representing “yes” and “no” on Initiatives 594 and 591 are also planned. The second one will be held 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Elks Club in Oak Harbor and will highlight the candidates running for United States representative for the Second Congressional District, 10th Legislative District representative, positions No. 1 and No. 2, Island County commissioner, District No. 3, Island County auditor and Island County treasurer. Although written questions for the candidates will come from League members, the general public is invited to submit questions for our consideration through the contact page of our website at lwvwhidbey.org no later than Monday, Oct. 6. Since there are so few opportunities to see both candidates vying for a position in person, we strongly urge Island County voters to attend one or both of these forums. Joyce Peterson and Marshall Goldberg, Co-Presidents, League of Women Voters, Whidbey Island
Noise
Editor should blaze path to compromise Editor, I hate the extremist Washington, D.C., politics — be they Left or Right — that are driving our nation into the ground. What happened to doing those things that are in the best interest of the country as a whole, as opposed to a rich contributor or a self-serving corporation? These people are only acting in their best interests and not looking out for the rest of us. Well, folks, I see the same thing happening right here on Whidbey Island concerning the Outlying Field Coupeville. On one side, we have those who want all flights stopped. On the other side, we have those who want them to continue with no restrictions. Neither view is in the best interest of the residents of this fine island. This newspaper provides a forum for the extremists but allows no voice for the vast majority of Whidbey citizens. SEE LETTERS, A7

I count myself in this group. I think we want to live within an environment that allows for Navy flights but at the same time protects the health of our citizens. Guess what? It is going to take working together rather than being at each other’s throats to solve it — this includes the Navy. I would humbly suggest that this newspaper and its Editor/Publisher Keven Graves lead the cause to do what is right for all of Whidbey, be it retirees, farmers, working families or the Navy. I believe community newspapers have a duty to impartially search out the solutions to community problems and issues and not just act as an events billboard or forum for extremists. Why can’t this newspaper investigate whether there is a middle ground?
Maybe there is a simple solution, like flying higher after take-off, limiting the initiation of afterburners or changing the patterns to fly over the water rather than 500 feet above people’s houses and livestock. Maybe it is going back to alternating take-offs to the east and west on consecutive days. I am sure there are other possible changes that could be a win/win for everyone. Perhaps the Navy could be proactive now in making changes that will possibly allow them to be in compliance with the long-postponed Environmental Impact Statement. Come on, Keven Graves,
you run a newspaper and have an obligation to this community. I don’t think you will be chastised for seeking out the truth and doing some in-depth reporting on this issue. Become the voice for the majority of your current and potential readers. Greg Meredith Coupeville
Island Transit
Taxpayers are on the hook despite broken promises Editor, The only bond measure I
have voted for since establishing residence on this island was the transportation bond of a few years ago. If I’m not mistaken, the promise to the bond payers — us — was that, if the bond passed, service would remain the same. However, this has not occurred, with the cancelation of routes or shortening of routes like the 411 to Mount Vernon. So, apparently, the other taxpayers and I have to keep our end of the bargain and
still pay the same taxes on the bond, yet Island County Transit is not required to keep its end of the bargain. Wouldn’t this be a breach of contract that would allow the taxpayers to also not have to uphold their end of the deal? Apparently it’s not. I sure wish something legally could be done to punish Island Transit. Or perhaps a civil lawsuit from the taxpayers is in order for failure to provide the services promised.

OBITUARIES
Cope
Paul Ripley Cope Sr.
Nov. 16, 1918 – Aug. 17, 2014 One week following his 72nd wedding anniversary celebration with his wife Helen, his family and many friends, Paul R. Cope Sr. passed away peacefully at his home Aug. 17, 2014. Born in Topeka, Kan., to Ruth Kennison and Roy Cope, Paul was the second of three sons. He graduated from the University of Colorado as a member of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity and a distinguished high hurdler. Captain Cope served stateside in the United States Air Force during WWII and married Helen E. Youngblood in 1942. He and Helen moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1951 to raise their two young boys, settling in Oak Harbor. Paul seldom sat still. In Oak Harbor he served on the Oak Harbor School Board as well as occupying an influential founder’s seat on the Board of Directors of Island Savings and Loan. He was involved in building and operating Cornet Bay Marina near Deception Pass. In addition, Paul had a successful insurance career. Paul loved to travel, includ-
ing taking a trip around the world with his family in 1964. He enjoyed boating, fishing, golfing and watching his sons participate in their school sporting events. He believed in the power of a firm handshake. Once he met you, he always remembered your name, and he made friends everywhere he went. After leaving Oak Harbor, Paul and Helen lived in Seattle, Bainbridge Island and Palm Desert, Calif., eventually returning to Seattle, taking residence at the Horizon House. Paul thrived at the Horizon House. His goal was to get to know everyone who lived there. He was a consummate learner, always curious and an active participant on the World Concerns Committee. Paul Sr. lost his youngest son, Jim Cope, to a sudden, unexpected death. Paul is survived by his wife, Helen; sons, Paul Jr. (Pam) and Ole Carlson (Sue Ann); eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren, who affectionately referred to him as “Popo.” A celebration of Paul’s extraordinary life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Horizon House.
Peter Frederick Wezeman Peter Frederick Wezeman passed away Saturday, Aug. 30 in Lake Havasu, Ariz., after a series of congestive heart failures and stroke. He was 66 years old. Peter is survived by his two sons, Peter Arron and Scott; brothers Paul and Tim; and sister Lois. Peter was born in Springfield, Ill., Oct. 16,
1947, and shortly afterward moved with his family to Bellflower, Calif. In 1956, the family moved to Oak Harbor, where Peter graduated from high school. After a year in college, Peter served two tours of duty as a Marine in the Vietnam War and was decorated for his service to our country. Following his honorable discharge, he earned a doctorate of law from Gonzaga University and went on to partner in several computer business and counseling services. Peter Frederick Wezeman, our brother, brother-in-law, father, uncle, grandfather and friend, will long be remembered for his bravery, his sense of humor and his enduring tenacity. At his request, no service is planned; however, his remains will rest in peace at a family gravesite in Oak Harbor.

Wellman
Lucille ‘Lou’ Wellman My mom passed away Aug. 1, 2014. She passed away after 89 years and is now with my dad, James
Wellman Sr. and my sister, Linda (Raley) Wellman. She rejoined her parents Julia and Canada. Lucille (Lou) started her life in Kentucky and then spent her early years in Columbus, Ohio. If you asked her where she was from, she would probably say Whidbey Island — then ask you if you’d ever been there. She loved Whidbey and thought there was no place more beautiful. She was the eldest of 13 children. She wove her way through depressions, recessions, wars and numerous heart-wrenching losses. During all of that, she loved her Lord Jesus and sang his praises. She was a member of the First Baptist Church, a faithful tither and supporter of the needs brought before her. She opened her home for church luncheons. She volunteered at the senior center and worked with children who had special needs. Her heart was always pointed to the ones most in need. Her family grew with grandchildren (Jimmy, Adam, Matthew and Vicki); great-grandchildren (Abby, Tricna, Alex, Brandan and Sophia); and even a greatgreat-grandchild (Chance). Maybe you remember her from walking her beloved Boston Terriers (Reggie, Willie and Rocky) on West Beach. Or maybe you golfed with her at Duffers Cove. Maybe she helped you find the right children’s clothes at the Navy Exchange or you bought a Christmas wreath she made at the Boy Scout Hall Troop 59. Her home on West Beach looked like a park. Tucked away in the woods, your eyes would be delighted by
the beautiful landscaping. As you came up the driveway in the summer, you could smell the sweet fragrance of her rose garden. She would sit on the porch, greet you with a smile and bring out a cup of coffee and slice of banana bread. Only four of her siblings are left: Eddie, Judy, Beverly and Carolyn. Her family will tell you she was a role model and testimony to the provisions God provides to those who love him with all their heart, all their soul and all their might. The world will tell you she died from complications of a broken hip and being old. Those of us who knew her will tell you the Lord called her home. She ran the good race and she claimed her prize. Her last six years were spent with me and my wife Diana in Kent. When Diana passed away last year, she was everything she always was — a tireless prayer warrior and a rock to hold onto in stormy seas. She left me a blueprint for life and a love for our Lord God. I’m so proud of her. We’re going to gather at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation in Oak Harbor to celebrate this remarkable journey. Consider this a personal invite, and thank you for your expressions of love. God bless you, Jim Wellman Jr. Please visit Lucille’s page in the Book of Memories hosted at www.wallinfuner alhome.com to share memories and condolences.

Volleyball teams tipped in openers By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Both the Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school volleyball teams opened the season with a pair of losses.
Wildcats suffer rugged start It’s been a tough start times two for Oak Harbor. First, the Wildcats faced a tough team, Ferndale, Tuesday, Sept. 9, in a rematch of the two teams that squared off for the district title last fall. The host Golden Eagles, who return most of their 2013 squad and are ranked seventh in the Seattle Times’ 3A state poll, prevailed again by the same 3-1 score (25-15, 25-13, 24-26, 25-18). Next, Oak Harbor suffered a tough-to-take 3-2 loss to visiting MarysvillePilchuck Thursday, Sept. 11. The Wildcats lost a lackluster first game 25-14, then stormed back to take the next two, 25-22, 25-21. The Tomahawks (1-0) rebounded to grab the final two games, 25-22, 15-5. Ferndale was “faster than the teams we faced at the jamboree,” coach Kerri Molitor said, and her team was slow to adjust. Claire Anderson led the Wildcats with 19 kills and 11 digs. Natalie McVey chipped in with 15 assists and 11 digs, and Hailey Beecher recorded 11 assists. Speed, again, was a problem against MarysvillePilchuck, Molitor said. “We have too many players playing at different speeds. We play fast and slow, fast and slow,” she said.

Oak Harbor’s Amelia Berner tips past Marysville-Pilchuck’s Kyla Morrison’s block Thursday. “If we pick up the speed we will be okay. If we don’t, it will be a long season.” Anderson finished with 17 kills, 19 digs and three aces. Hailee Blau had nine kills and Amelia Berner seven. McVey dished out 19 assists and collected eight digs. Beecher had 17 assists. AnnaBelle Whitefoot posted 11 digs, and Aubrey Lock
PREP ROUNDUP Wolves fall in tennis
Archbishop Murphy stopped the Coupeville High School tennis team 5-0 in the nonleague season opener in Everett Wednesday, Sept. 10. “The day was difficult,” coach Ken Stange said. “The one bright spot was Aaron Curtin’s match.” Curtin fell in first singles 6-3, 6-3 to Houston Schmutz. “He was matched up against a former South Whidbey kid,” Stange said. “They battled hard, both hitting shots in excess of 100 miles

Coupeville loses to FH, Falcons
Coupeville won its first set of the season Thursday, Sept. 11, but the one win was not enough as visiting Friday Harbor took the nonleague match 3-1. After being blanked 3-0 (25-8, 25-17, 25-10) at South
Jackson Wezeman (5-7, 6-4, 10-7) in first singles and Kyle Martin (67[6], 7-6[6], 10-3) in fourth singles. In those two matches, a super tie-breaker was used instead of a third set because the team contest had already been decided, according to Oak Harbor coach Horace Mells. Oak Harbor goes to Snohomish to face Glacier Peak at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15.
Wildcats win 3 events Oak Harbor High School won three events in the eight-team North Swim Jamboree at Marysville-Pilchuck High School Thurs-
Whidbey Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Wolves dropped the first two sets to the Wolverines, 25-10, 25-14, before posting a thrilling 33-31 win in the third game. Friday Harbor (2-0) secured the win with a 25-18 victory in the fourth set. In its 33-31 win, Coupeville faced match point five times but rallied to take the set. Coach Breanne Smedley said her team’s play improved from the opener with South Whidbey: “We were fighting, fighting every single play. I thought we played with some heart.” She also praised the defensive play of Kacie Kiel and Valen Trujillo: “Kacie was moving all over the court; Valen was the same way. They held down the court.” On offense, Hailey Hammer “did a good job of executing,” Smedley said. “She was hitting spots.” Hammer recorded nine kills and four aces; Kiel had four kills, two blocks and 13 digs; McKenzie Bailey added four kills; Trujillo had 13 digs; Miranda Engle served two aces; and Sydney Autio had nine assists. Smedley called the loss to South Whidbey “a good learning experience.” She added, “We gave away points with unforced errors and not being able to execute plays.” Hammer led the Coupeville offense with five kills and Kiel added three. Kiel topped the Wolves in digs with six; Trujillo had five. Tiffany Briscoe fired two aces. Coupeville travels to Orcas Island for a 2:30 p.m. match Thursday, Sept. 18.
day, Sept. 11. The preseason event featured 11 relays and a diving competition. In the 150-yard backstroke relay, Mollie Briddell, Erica Sugatan and Michelle Robinson won in 1:35.46. In 150-yard breaststroke relay, Elise Still, Maddy Harstad and Taliah Black grabbed first in 1:57.14. The Wildcats also won the 800yard freestyle sprint relay as Jillian Pape, Sophie Dickinson, Mariel Empinado and Lauren Vagt clocked a 9:26.44. The Wildcats’ first regular season meet is at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at Everett’s Forest Park Pool.
Coupeville, ’Cats open with wins Significant wins highlighted the beginning of the girls soccer season for Coupeville and Oak Harbor high schools.
Wolves clip SW The eight seniors on the Coupeville soccer team finally earned bragging rights over South Whidbey, defeating the visiting Falcons 2-1 Tuesday, Sept. 9, in the season opener. The win broke the Wolves’ four-year losing streak to South Whidbey. One of Coupeville’s youngest players, freshman Mia Littlejohn, scored both goals to do her part in helping the seniors snap the losing string. Coupeville coach Troy Cowan praised the play of his entire team, especially Jennifer Spark, who had the “defensive play of the match”; Erin Rosenkranz, who “played the best match I have ever seen her play”; and Julia Myers, who “played the match of her career.” The Wolves journey to Sequim for a 12:45 p.m. nonleague match Saturday, Sept. 13.
Wildcats score big Coming into the season, Oak Harbor coach Mike Lonborg was concerned about his team’s ability to score; the Wildcats tallied just eight goals in 2013. Scoring goals wasn’t a problem in the season opener with visiting Lakewood Tuesday, Sept. 9, as the Wildcats rolled to a 6-1 win. Sophomore Mary Johnston, making her OHHS debut, riddled the Cougars for four goals. Another newcomer, freshman Caylie Etherington, also scored, as did sophomore Lydia Peplinski. Peplinski also registered two assists; Hayley Lundstrom, Suzanne Kaltenbach and Lauryn Plush had one each. “It was a total team effort,” Lonborg said. “We were solid across the board. We made the right decisions overall; now we just have to make them faster, both mentally and physically.” The Wildcats host Ferndale in a nonleague match at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13.

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station staff, local firefighters, first responders and active duty Navy personnel gathered to pay tribute to those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
CONTINUED FROM A1
PATRIOTS CONTINUED FROM A1 we’re all one community.” The best way to memorialize the first responders that were lost Sept. 11 is to do their jobs, and do it well, he said. “It’s about what we say we do,” Merrill said. “We honor them by preparing, and when that 911 call comes in, we go out and do what we say we do.” The annual Patriot Day event included a moment of silence for the fallen, a single bagpipe and the traditional ringing of the bell. The bell ringing is a tradition of the fire service that reflects respect and honor to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. The ringing of the bell represents the return to quarters, comprising three rings of the bell, three times. Capt. Mike Nortier, NAS
Whidbey commanding officer, said the reason Sept. 11 was designated by U.S. Congress as “Patriot Day” was to ensure that those who sacrifice their lives in service to their country are honored and remembered as patriots. “Why the word patriot?” Nortier asked. “Patriot,” he explained, is defined as “one who loves his country” and who “zealously” protects its authority and interests. The attacks not only failed to break the country’s spirit, but Americans united against a common enemy in solidarity, he said. “America certainly rallied after 9/11.” The tragedy served to “unite us against them, not just for one day, but for a generation,” Nortier said. Nortier encouraged those in attendance to not only remember those who died Sept. 11, but to remember “all the patriots, across America and across the world.”
PARKS BOARD CONTINUED FROM A1 McDougall. Then, Commissioner Dave Walton submitted his letter of resignation at the Aug. 28 meeting. Commissioner Sean Merrill was absent from the
meeting. The three commissioners appointed Wendy Shingleton, former entertainment chairwoman of the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, to the seat
Rose explained that she and staff members are scrambling to find all the necessary paperwork for state auditors, who are doing an accountability audit. Chairman Bob Clay said he authorized auditors to spend an extra 100 hours on the accountability audit to get to the bottom of the unforeseen financial problems; it will cost IT an extra $8,400. Thomas Shapley, spokesman for the state Auditor’s Office, said he expects the audit report to be completed in mid-October. The board also decided to have monthly workshops, in addition to regular meetings, for the rest of the year. They created a new finance subcommittee and appointed Island County Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan and Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg to it. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said Councilman Jim Campbell, the council’s representative on the IT board, is on vacation for six weeks. He asked if an alternate can be appointed to ensure the city is represented on the board; the board said staff will research the issues and work with the mayor. The board entered executive session at the end of the meeting to discuss potential litigation and the performance of a public employee. Director Martha Rose has come under fire for her role in the finan-
left open by Huffer’s departure. McDougall said the three commissioners also decided to immediately appoint someone to Walton’s position from among the applicants for Huffer’s seat. The three men unanimously appointed Victoria
Fidalgo Rehabilitation Center 1105 27th street, Anacortes 360-293-3174 I had surgery at Island Hospital for a bone spur removal. My Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Stacia Smith recommended that I have inpatient rehabilitation services. The discharge planning team from Island Hospital understood my needs and were able to refer me to Fidalgo Rehabilitation Center. I have had this type of surgery before but it is never routine. The pain and rehab is always tough. I was discharged from the hospital on a Sunday and was happily greeted at Fidalgo by Travis the Physical Therapist. He did an assessment and started my therapy that same day. Since then I have had physical and occupational therapy twice a day. The rehab team not only encourage me to keep going but they are always problem solving. I have worked with Jesse (Physical Therapist), who has introduced a new technique for amputees called “mirror therapy”. I appreciate his kindness, humor and creativity. Mary (Occupational Therapist), has also been wonderful to work with she makes everything positive and pleasant. I am also impressed with the RN staff. They are proactive in helping me control my pain and are very competent in working with Dr. Llewellyn and Diane, the Nurse Practitioner, regarding my status. My appreciation continues for the entire staff who never lack smiles or offers to help. Everyone has been patient and genuinely kind. I would like to recognize Jericka, CNA, she is phenomenal and always aware I need something before I ask. She always brightens my day. Zack, morning CNA, is very considerate and caring. He even comes to visit on his days off. Brian, night shift CNA is also exceptional. His physical strength matches his big heart. This team has given me and my family the confidence that I will leave Fidalgo Rehab with the ability to independently continue my daily routines.

cial mismanagement. Rose earns $118,000 a year and has been with Island Transit for 26 years. The meeting became tense when the board discussed new financial statements Rose presented. She said the budget numbers on one report aren’t accurate because of amendments, but she was presenting them just to show the board the format. Board members were clearly upset, asking why the budget would show a $1.2-million deficit and why the numbers aren’t accurate. Price Johnson and Clay, a Coupeville councilman, maintained they didn’t approve a budget with a $1.2-million deficit. Rose countered that they did. Price Johnson and Clay appeared confused by the response. Rose said the budget called for the agency to spend its reserve account on the facility project. The problem, she said, was that the reserve account was depleted by operating expenses, “unbeknownst” to her and board members. Rose said she relied on the former finance manager, who has been fired, to report any cash-flow problems. “My mistake was trusting the finance manager,” she said. Her comment drew groans from members of the audience. Price Johnson said she appreciates that the financial statements now clearly separate capital and operation costs. “It’s one of the issues that lead
Robinson, the former office manager for the district and treasurer of the swim team, to the position being vacated by Walton. The commissioner made three errors in appointing Robinson, Crider explained. First, Walton’s letter stated that his resignation wasn’t effective immediately. A replacement can’t be appointed until after he actually resigns. Second, an official can’t vote for his or her own replacement, per state law. Walton shouldn’t have voted; there was no quorum if he didn’t vote. Finally, the district must advertise the open position and seek applicants. McDougall said the commissioners will correct their mistake at the next meeting. They plan to rescind the appointment of Robinson and advertise the position. Robinson still hopes to be appointed to the position. “I trust that the Board will honor the decision they already made and act quickly to appoint me to the now open seat,” she wrote in an email. “I believe that I can be a great help to North Whidbey Park and Recreation District and provide valuable leadership in building a District that serves the public needs and honors the public trust, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve the people of the District.” Her appointment, however,
to the problem,” she said. “The differences weren’t clearly defined between the two.” Price Johnson and Vaughan stressed the toll service cuts are having on families and paratransit riders, especially on South Whidbey. Rose said staff members are restructuring routes to fill as many gaps as possible. She said the changes must go through the public, so she doesn’t expect changes for three months. Price Johnson suggested smaller or temporary changes as quickly as possible to help those in need. As for the study, Rose suggested that the agency hired an outside consultant to study whether it makes financial sense to charge fares on buses. In the past, Rose insisted it doesn’t make financial sense to collect money because of the cost of training and infrastructure, as well as potential loss of ridership. Rose said she plans to apply for a grant to fund the study, though it would require matching funds from the struggling agency. She estimates the cost at $75,000. Price Johnson insisted that the study be done, even if it means waiting until Island Transit’s books are in order. The agency will pay off its loan, which board members took out to cover operating costs, next June. At that point, Island Transit should be on stronger financial footing. Rose is also applying for an operations grant that could solve the financial problems sooner.
might not go as smoothly the second time. Merrill said he’s not in favor of appointing her to the board. “I have a lot of concerns,” he said. “No, I would not have voted for her.” Bill Walker, the former director of the district, fired Robinson and former swim coach Neil Romney in 2012 after they refused to give him the password to the swim team’s financial information. Robinson and Romney both filed lawsuits against the district, alleging wrongful termination. The district settled with them, paying both about $20,000 each. Walker said he discovered irregularities in the swim team’s finances after he fired the two employees and asked the state Auditor’s Office to look at the books. The state Auditor’s Office found a long list of problems, including missing money, in the fund set up for the aquatics club. According to the report, the auditors said they found more than $18,000 in adjustments made to club members’ accounts without explanation. The report didn’t include names, but referred to people by their positions. The report indicates that Robinson allegedly posted $2,738 to her own family’s account without making an actual payment on her last day off as treasurer for the swim team; Robinson is a “swim parent.”
The account of another swim club member who owed more than $8,000 was reduced to zero without any payment, the audit report states. The report said that Robinson explained that she moved the accounts to a paper file. However, the auditors were unable to find those reports. Robinson and the other club member paid the owed balance in full before the report was released. Robinson’s attorney told the Whidbey News-Times last year that the information Walker provided to the auditors “was either negligent or intentionally misleading.” The state Auditor’s Office recommended that the district recover the cost of the audit, nearly $8,000, from the two former employees or its insurance company. The district opted not to attempt to recover the funds. The state auditor also sent the report to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutor Greg Banks said he sent it to the Oak Harbor Police Department because he felt they “should look at it.” Capt. Teri Gardner said she has no recollection of the case. Crider said four of the five commissioner positions will be on the ballot next year. The next parks board meeting is Sept. 18.

Win a winter Whidbey wedding Contest aims to promote island as a year-round destination
By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
During spring, summer and fall, Whidbey Island is a popular choice for weddings. Sherrye Wyatt, with Whidbey and Camano Islands Tourism, says the island is known as a wedding destination. Now, she and other participants in the annual Whidbey Wedding and Events Tour want to show prospective brides and grooms just how magical a winter wedding on the island can be. The Wedding Tour, set for Nov. 8, is a showcase for all that Whidbey Island has to offer — from caterers to photographers, deejays to florists. Many vendors who participate in the Wedding Tour are coming together to throw a dream winter wedding on Whidbey for one lucky couple. All for free. “It’s a new way to showcase the region,” Wyatt said. Kim Winjum, associate publisher of Whidbey News Group and a member of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce board of directors, came up with the idea of holding a contest to help promote the island as a wedding and event destination. “I thought this was a win-win, so I went to them and I pitched the idea of having this contest,” Winjum said. “They loved it.” “One of the benefits of promoting weddings and having weddings come to our island is they do stay longer and spend more than many other tourists, and come back again and again,” Wyatt said.
How to enter n Go to winawhidbeywedding.com and submit a photo and your story in 250 words or fewer. Voting ends Friday, Oct. 31, and a winner will be chosen Saturday, Nov. 8. Whidbey News Group is a co-sponsor of the contest, involved in advertising and promotion. Winner of the contest will receive a wedding to be held Jan. 17, 2015. The prize includes a venue, photographer, music, make-up, wedding planner, invitations and more. Anyone over the age of 18 who is eligible to marry in the state of Washington is allowed to enter. Entrants must tell their story in 250 words or fewer. Deadline for entries is Oct. 31. All of the entries will then be subject to online voting by the public. The voters will decide the top 10 couples. From the top 10, the winning couple will be picked randomly during the Whidbey Weddings and Events Tour. The first 100 couples to enter the contest will receive a free general admission ticket for November’s Wedding Tour. Everyone who votes will be entered for a chance to win a weekend trip to Whidbey Island, the winner of which will also be randomly chosen during the tour. Gloria Mickunas, a wedding planner who is
offering her services to the winning couple, was involved in the creation of the contest. Mickunas said she is most looking forward to reading the stories submitted. “You have to encapsulate why people should care and vote for you to win your winter wedding on Whidbey,” she said. Wyatt agrees. “It will be interesting to see what kinds of people enter, where they live and what connection they already have to the island, or if they are interested because they want the wedding,” she said. Vendors involved in the tour were approached and asked if they wanted to see if they wanted to participate in the contest. Many said “yes.” One of the main reasons given by those who declined was because they were already booked for weddings in January. “It’s a wonderful idea, and it shows the generosity people on the island have to offer,” Wyatt said. “That’s what’s so great about Whidbey Island,” Mickunas said. “We have this sense of community and belonging and we want to support one another, and that’s what the tour’s all about … and promoting Whidbey Island for year-round weddings and events.” n For information about the tour, go to wed dingsonwhidbey.net or for contest information, go to winawhidbeywedding.com

THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO EACH OF THE ABOVE-NAMED DEFENDANTS, and to all other persons or parties unknown claiming any right, title, estate, lien or interest in or to the real property described in this Notice and Summons of foreclosure of tax liens: YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that Island County, a duly organized and existing county of the State of Washington, is the owner and holder of Certificate of Delinquency No. 14-2-00483-9 dated the 4th day of August, 2014; that said Certificate was issued to Island County on that date by the Treasurer of Island County, pursuant to law, for real property taxes and interest due, unpaid and delinquent for three or more years for which no Certificate of Delinquency had previously been issued; that the description of the several lots, tracts and parcels of real property included and described in said Certificate of Delinquency, the names of the several reputed owners as appear on the rolls of the Island County Treasurer and/or a title report, the amounts of 2011 and prior years delinquent taxes on each of said lots, tracts and parcels of said real property, including interest thereon at 12 percent per annum on the balance of unpaid taxes, computed on the 4th day of August, 2014, and the years for which the same are due and unpaid as they appear, are set forth and described in said Certificate of Delinquency on file in this cause and incorporated herein by reference. The Certificate of Delinquency is on file with the Clerk of the above-entitled Court. Publication of a Notice and Summons will be accomplished following receipt of title reports to determine the owner(s) and any person having a recorded interest in or lien of record upon the affected properties. Copies of the Notice and Summons, mailed or personally served, will have appended the Certificate of Delinquency in which each particular defendant is named. YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that the Plaintiff, Island County, will apply to the Superior Court of the State of Washington in and for the County of Island for judgment foreclosing its lien for taxes and other amounts due against the lots, parcels and tracts of real property in the Notice and Summons described, and you and each of you are summoned to appear in the above-entitled Court and state your defense in writing and serve a copy upon the undersigned attorney for the Plaintiff within the earlier date of (1) 30 days after the date of personal service upon you of the Notice and Summons, exclusive of the date of personal service, or (2) 30 days after the date of the publication of the Notice and Summons, exclusive of the dates of publication, which dates of publication will be the 9th day of September, 2014 in the Stanwood/Camano News; and the 13th day of September, 2014 in the Whidbey News-Times and The South Whidbey Record, and defend this action or pay the amount due, plus allowable costs (including the cost of title search and advertising), and in case of your failure to do so, a default judgment will be rendered in this action, without additional notice to you, foreclosing the lien of Island County in the several amounts shown to be due against each of said lots, parcels and tracts, as described in Certificate of Delinquency No. 14-2-00483-9 filed herein, plus allowable costs, and public sale of the property will be authorized. A default judgment is one where the Plaintiff is entitled to what it asks for because you have not responded. If you serve a notice of appearance upon the undersigned, you are entitled to notice before default judgment can be entered. Should judgment be entered foreclosing the lien against the property, you will still retain the right to redeem your property by payment of delinquent amounts set forth in the Certificate of Delinquency, together with interest and costs that have accrued up until the date of payment; however, the right to redeem will expire at the close of business on the day before the sale. The sale has been tentatively set for December 11, 2014 at 2:00 p.m., at the Island County Annex Building, Basement Meeting Room, 1 NE Sixth Street, Coupeville, Washington, but is subject to change. Formal notice of sale will be posted in three public places in Island County for 10 successive days prior to sale. Though not a statutory requirement, you may request a courtesy copy of the Notice of Sale, which will set forth a date, place and time of sale, by filing with the Court and serving the Island County Treasurer with a written request setting forth your request for notice and the address to which notice may be sent; and an effort will be made to mail notice prior to sale. Any money received from the sale which exceeds the amount due Island County, including interest and costs to the date of sale, will be held by the county for the benefit of the record owner and must be properly claimed by the record owner within three years from the date of sale or it will be paid to the county general fund. Persons 60 years of age or older, retired physically disabled persons, and 57 years old or older surviving spouses of those deceased persons who were receiving a deferral at the time of their death, may be eligible to defer the payment of taxes (under chapter 84.38 RCW) and avoid sale of their property in this foreclosure action. The declaration to defer taxes must be filed with the Island County Assessor, Courthouse Administration Building, Coupeville, WA 98239, not later than 30 days after notice of this Amended Notice and Summons or as otherwise provided by RCW 84.38.040(1). If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your written response, if any, may be served on time. All pleadings and process in this foreclosure action shall be served upon the undersigned at the address stated below. Dated at Coupeville, Washington, this 4TH day of August, 2014.

DEVISEES OF METTIE A. WOOD; and also all other persons or parties unknown claiming any right, title, or ownership interest or lien in or to the real property described in the Notice of Application for Judgment Foreclosing Tax Liens and Summons, Defendants. COMES NOW the Plaintiff, Island County, and for cause of action alleges as follows: I. That the Plaintiff now is, and at all times herein mentioned was, a duly organized and existing county and political subdivision of the State of Washington. II. That on the 4th day of August, 2014, the Treasurer of said Island County filed with the Clerk of the Island County Superior Court a Certificate of Delinquency, bound in book form as required by law, and issued to the Plaintiff under the date of August 4, 2014, for delinquent taxes for the year 2011, and in certain cases for years prior thereto, upon and including all property on the tax rolls of said County for said years upon which taxes for the said year 2011 and/or certain prior years remained unpaid and upon which no Certificate of Delinquency had previously been issued. A title search of each property was done to determine record owners and those with recorded interests and recorded liens. From this information, the Certificate of Delinquency was prepared which was filed with the Clerk of the Island County Superior Court on the 4th day of August, 2014. That said general Certificate of Delinquency, bound in book form as aforesaid, is by reference thereto herein made a part of this Complaint, as fully as though set forth herein. III. That in addition to the taxes, including those set forth in said Certificate of Delinquency, there is due to the Plaintiff certain costs, penalties, and interest as provided by law; that the aggregate amount of all taxes referred to on each parcel of real property therein described, including costs, penalties, and interest to the 4th day of August, 2014, together with the names of persons to whom assessed, if known, and so stated if unknown, on the tax rolls of said County Treasurer’s Office, and also including names of persons having a recorded interest in or lien of record upon the property, and the year or years of delinquency are as stated and set forth in said Certificate of Delinquency. IV. That the taxes in said Certificate of Delinquency are all taxes due, delinquent, unpaid and unredeemed upon and against the real property described in said Certificate of Delinquency for the year(s) herein stated, and that more than three years have elapsed since the original date of delinquency of the taxes included in said Certificate of Delinquency. V. That the said real property mentioned and described in said Certificate of Delinquency and each and every portion thereof was duly listed for taxation and the assessment, levy and equalization of the taxes thereon for the years named in said certificate, and that all other acts required to be done to make said taxes a first lien upon said property were duly and regularly, timely and properly done, and that the lien of the Plaintiff is a first and prior lien superior to any claim, title or estate (including claims of homestead exemption) to or upon or in said real property by the Defendants or any of them. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment, order and decree against each lot, tract and parcel of property listed in said Certificate of Delinquency for the amount of taxes, interest, penalties, and costs due thereon, together with accruing interest thereafter as by law provided, and that said taxes, interest, costs, penalties, and accruing interest be declared a first and prior lien against each lot, tract, and parcel of said real property (including being declared superior to any claim of homestead exemption). Plaintiff further prays that said lien be foreclosed and that said Defendants, and each of them, be forever barred and estopped from having or claiming any right, title, interest, or lien or estate in or to said property, or any part thereof (except for public utility easements as described in RCW 84.20.030, easements as described in RCW 84.36.210 and 36.35.290, subject to the State’s reservation of mineral rights as contained in RCW 79.11.210 as applicable, subject to LID liens as provided by law, subject to nuisance special assessment liens as provided by RCW 36.32.120(10), and subject to any other interests preserved as a matter of law), adverse to the right, title or claim of the plaintiff; that an order of sale be entered herein ordering and directing the Treasurer of Island County, State of Washington, to sell each of said tracts, lots and parcels of real property, or so much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the judgment, interest and cost against the same, and to issue a deed or deeds therefor to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale; and that the Plaintiff have such other and further relief as is deemed just and proper in the premises.

If there’s some kind of problem at home, you take the time to correct the situation permanently. You also take this opportunity to brighten up your decor.
TAURUS
Try to have your car checked, as you may be in for some type of breakdown. Your telephone and computer may suffer the same fate, and don’t forget to recharge your batteries.
GEMINI
An active social life incurs a lot of expenses, so you should try to build a more precise budget for yourself. Even at work, money matters take up a lot of room.

CANCER
You could be given some new, demanding responsibilities. In the face of fatigue and stress, you need some patience and lots of perseverance to help you meet your obligations.
LEO
You might suffer from a few nights of insomnia. Your mind is racing, so get some exercise to spend any excess energy and restore a proper balance.
VIRGO
There’s a good chance that you might decide to drop some people from your circle of friends. Some of them tend to suck a lot of energy from you.
LIBRA
If you have young children, you have to restore a bit of discipline and enforce a few basic rules. There are some people close to you that you have to treat with kid gloves.
SCORPIO
You begin to look at vacation possibilities for next winter. At work, you will have to deal with some people in a language you can’t speak very well.
SAGITTARIUS
If you have recently started to eat healthier and get more regular exercise, you finally see some encouraging results; this achievement encourages you to stick with it.
CAPRICORN
One of your friends may very well inspire you to undertake an adventure. The need for some adrenalin leads you to break out of your routine. This activity makes you feel much more alive.
AQUARIUS
You won’t have any choice but to make use of your leadership qualities. You have to speak up and express your opinions with more authority. Slowly but surely, you’ll rise through the ranks.
PISCES
You soon give in to the temptation of going shopping and treating yourself to a bit of luxury. Sometimes it’s necessary to renew your wardrobe when taking on new responsibilities at work.
