Sheriff: Break-in suspect choked woman
Early tax revenues showing uptick for county
Departments look to reverse cutbacks By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Island County Sheriff’s Office said the 27-year-old woman didn’t know Byars very well before giving him a ride Sunday morning from her workplace in Everett to Whidbey Island. “He was a friend of a friend,” he said. “She didn’t know his name,
As Island County enters its annual budget cycle, preliminary numbers show rebounding tax revenue. Growing revenues over the last couple of years will likely allow the county to slowly add back services that were cut during the economic recession that began in 2008. Sales tax revenues are strong, mainly because of an increase in the house construction and remodel industry, said Budget Director Elaine Marlow. As a result, permit revenue is above estimates. In addition, sales tax the county receives from the City of Oak Harbor

Larry Byars appears in Island County Superior Court Monday after allegedly assaulting a woman on North Whidbey. The judge ordered him held on $100,000 bail. on suspicion of second-degree assault, two counts of residential burglary, attempted car theft and malicious mischief in the third degree. Island County Deputy Prosecutor David Carman asked the judge to set Byars’ bail at $100,000, based on his danger to the community and potential
flight risk. Churchill agreed. Carman said Byars’ mailing address is listed as being in Baton Rouge, La. He has a “significant criminal history” in several states, including a sexual assault in Texas, according to the prosecutor. Detective Ed Wallace with the

County to pay $30,000 for fairground repairs By JANIS REID Staff reporter
E
Y, SET, G D O A !!!

The county is forking out nearly $30,000 to repair “potentially” dangerous electrical problems at the Island County fairgrounds. Facilities Director Larry Van Horn asked Island County commissioners for emergency funding during Wednesday’s work session, and the contract was approved at Monday’s regular meeting. “Violations of this magnitude” needed to be repaired right away, said Van Horn. Inspectors conducted a routine check of the fairgrounds prior to this year’s fair, but the problems found did not come to Van Horn’s attention until after the fair was over. “He found a number of code corrections that are required, but it didn’t prevent the fair from going forward,” Van Horn said. Asked if holding this past year’s county fair was dangerous knowing that problems existed, he said, “Potentially, yes, to be frank about it. “That’s the purpose of having the electrical inspection.” Once the problems were identified, the county had a few weeks to work with inspectors and electricians to develop a plan of action. Van Horn said the problems are both lack of updated electrical wiring and hardware, as well as failure to meet grounding regulations. Some of this stuff “should have been replaced years and years ago,” Van Horn said. Van Horn assumed his new role as facilities director in May, after the previous
director was out for nearly two years with an injury. “It’s been a lack of focus that has let things get where they are today,” Van Horn said. The $29,338 contract was awarded to Clinton-based electrical contractor Jerry Beck and Company Inc. Van Horn said, if approved Monday, work should begin immediately and will take a few weeks to complete. “We have to do it,” said Commissioner Jill Johnson. Johnson said the commissioners were notified by Van Horn a couple weeks ago the extent of the electrical problems and that they had been cited by the state’s Department of Labor and Industries. While it was unclear who is ultimately responsible for lack of maintenance, Johnson said she thinks because of a lack of funding and electrical expertise, the Island County Fair Association, which has been maintaining the property, has been doing repairs “piecemeal to keep it going.” “The county was not engaged in the maintenance of the property, so it sat on the side and was neglected,” Johnson said. “Nobody wanted to take ownership of the problem.” The Fair Association has for years asked the county for assistance with the property and has been consistently ignored, according to Sandey Brandon, director of the Island County Fair Association. Brandon concedes that part of the problem has been the lack of a facilities director, but that the county deprioritized the problems as well.

The county is having to pay $29,338 in electrical repairs for the aging county fairground property. The Island County Fair Association said they have repeatedly warned the county that the buildings are falling into disrepair. “Larry Van Horn is trying to play catch up,” Brandon said. “The problems are nothing new and nothing the county didn’t know about.” Brandon said the Fair Association is in a sort of catch-22 because some of facilities are not at a high enough standard to rent out and get a return on an investment for capital improvements. “We can’t give them what they want so they’re unhappy,” Brandon said. Johnson, who has been hesitant to fund the Fair Association’s maintenance of the property, said Wednesday that she has “hit a wall” and will likely push to cut back future funding for the property. “It highlights how many county resources are going to this facility,” Johnson said. “I know the fair is valuable… but in terms of all the things the county is tasked to do with limited resources, this conversation is getting more serious all the time. This ben-
efits one part of the county.” “This whole thing reeks with failing to maintain Island County facilities,” said Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan Wednesday. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who has been a champion for the fairgrounds that lay in her district, said the fairgrounds are important not just for the annual county fair, but for the programs and businesses that use the facility year round. “The property highlights how expensive some basic maintenance can be,” Price Johnson said Friday. “The downside is without adequate revenues this is the kind of thing that happens.” Vaughan and Price Johnson made the point that because small investments have not been made over the years, the county is now having to make some large, more costly repairs now. “It will only cost more the longer we wait,” Price Johnson said. The Fair Association told
the county earlier this year that they need additional funding to properly maintain the facility. Commissioners approved $30,000 in July for mainte-
nance of the Island County Fairgrounds through next year, although they are looking at finding a new management company for the property.

Oak Harbor man charged with child molestation
Fish and wildlife rules fail to please anyone By JANIS REID Staff reporter
No one is happy with fish and wildlife protection regulations approved Monday, but Island County commissioners are saying they’re a starting point. “I understand people’s frustration with this,” said Commissioner Jill Johnson. “I straight up get it.” The ordinance update was required as part of the state’s Growth Management Act, and the county has held a total of 30 public meetings over the last year. Its aim is to protect the state’s fish and wildlife such as salmonbearing streams and wetlands. Farmers have been unhappy with the update because they need to be able to maintain irrigation ditches that may also require strict governmental oversight due to the presence of crucial wetlands or animal habitat. Farmers pressed commissioners to provide an exemption for existing and ongoing agriculture, but county staff said such an exemption would run afoul of the state requirements. “I can’t believe you guys are trying to regulate the ongoing and existing agriculture so much,” said Central Whidbey farmer Len Engle Monday. Steve Erickson, a representative of Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, said that the ordinance was a step in the right direction, but there are still short-
comings. WEAN members made it clear that, if the document were adopted in its current state, they would appeal the decision to the GMA hearings board. Johnson pointed out that the policy decisions were made on the state level and the counties are simply required to implement them. She called out what she described as overly protective environmentalists “who are not looking for compromise at all” and warned that when things become too strict, “people will start to circumvent the compliance process.” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson stressed that this update begins the larger process of updating the county’s Comprehensive Plan when the issues raised can be reviewed and updated if needed. Even though the county missed its deadline with the state by a few weeks, Price Johnson said she was glad they took the extra time for public comment. “Taking the extra time made for a better ordinance,” Price Johnson said. “It’s going to be a complex issue for us,” she said. “Our critical areas are vital, and it’s incumbent on us to do this right.” Price Johnson also expressed her frustration with environmentalists like Erickson who have threatened to file law suits if the regulations are not protective enough. Price Johnson said the county needed to be able

Protecting critical areas such as salmon bearing creeks and wetlands is the aim of the fish and wildlife regulations county commissioners adopted Monday. Farmers are concerned that the environmental requirements will be overly costly. to go through this process “without having to position ourselves against potential litigation.” South Whidbey farmer Ray Gabelein said he believes the ordinance will put farmers out of busi-
ness and create a “domino effect” where ditches will not be maintained, wetland-creating floods will occur and more regulation will be required. “This will absolutely drive people out of busi-
An Oak Harbor man is facing a felony charge and the possibility of a prison sentence for allegedly molesting a 12-year-old girl last month, according to court documents. Prosecutors charged Leavell C. Hagan Jr. in Island County Superior Court Sept. 3 with one count of child molestation in the second degree. During interviews with police and a CPS worker, the victim described three incidents in which Leavall allegedly molested her at an Oak Harbor home, according to the police report. The girl told investigators that Hagan showed her a pornographic video on his computer, according to the report. During an interview with police, Hagan allegedly admitted that he “might have gotten excited” when the girl was sitting on his lap, the report said. If convicted of child molestation, Hagan could face up to a year and eight months in prison under the standard sentencing range; he would also be required to register as a sex offender.

Happy homecoming Physical therapy clinic opens in familiar setting for owners By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
When Jeremy Cornwell got word that the first patient at his new physical therapy clinic in Oak Harbor was about to arrive, he knew the moment wouldn’t be right unless he shared it with his wife. So he grabbed his cell phone and texted her. Brooke Cornwell was sitting in her car waiting to pick up her daughter from kindergarten class when the text came in. “I cried,” she said. The opening of IRG Oak Harbor Physical Therapy in Oak Harbor this month was a momentous occasion for the Cornwells. It’s the second clinic Jeremy Cornwell co-owns

with Integrated Rehabilitation Group, joining a practice in Mukilteo that he continues to run. But the new clinic on Cabot Drive in Oak Harbor holds sentimental meaning. Oak Harbor is the city that Brooke Cornwell was raised, attended high school and holds the deepest community
connections. Her parents, Mark and Merrie Burley, operated Burley Funeral Chapel for 30 years before selling the business and retiring. Opening IRG Oak Harbor Physical Therapy is sort like coming home. “It means everything to us,” Brooke said. “It feels right to be here. We love Oak Harbor.” It was through the relationships Jeremy developed on North Whidbey that got him thinking of expanding his business to Oak Harbor. Jeremy, 36, worked for two years as a physical therapist at Whidbey General Hospital’s North Community Clinic before he became a partner at the IRG Mukilteo clinic in 2013. He felt because of the high demand for services on North Whidbey, a new clinic could give patients another option and an opportunity to see a therapist more quickly. Through his experiences,

Jeremy Cornwell and his wife Brooke stand in front of the new IRG Oak Harbor Physical Therapy Clinic that opened this month. Jeremy is a physical therapist and co-owner of the clinic with Integrated Rehabilitation Group. Brooke grew up in Oak Harbor. he said he’s found “the faster you get in to see a therapist, the better the longterm outcome will be.” Cornwell said through the physical therapy he and others who work for him provide, the focus is getting patients back to more functional movement. The new 2,300-square foot clinic at 275 SE Cabot Drive, near The Home Depot, is designed for that. Formerly the home of Navy Federal Credit Union, the space underwent a major renovation by Eagle Building Company of Freeland. Cornwell saw the first patient Sept. 12. “She was so excited to be the first one,” he said. Although he oversees both clinics, Cornwell is still involved in hands-on, full-time patient care as a therapist. Since he’s established in Mukilteo, he will be working from that venue; however, he also will treat patients in Oak
Harbor depending on need. Heading up physical therapist duties in Oak Harbor is Andrea Wood, who, like Cornwell, is a doctor of physical therapy. She specializes in musculoskeletal injuries and joint mobilization. Wood, who lives on Fidalgo Island, began seeing patients last week. Amber Walker, a physical therapist who also lives on Fidalgo, will be available in Oak Harbor on a limited basis, however, it is Cornwell’s hope for her to join Wood full-time at the clinic within a year. In the meantime, Cornwell will be racking up more miles on his vehicle than usual. He and Brooke live in Clinton, where they raise two children, Baylee, 6, and Boden, 4. They’ve been married for 11 years after initially meeting in a geology class at Washington State University in the fall of 1999.
Jeremy remembers the day he met Brooke while walking down the aisle of a large classroom and searching for a place to sit down. He first sat across from her, then eventually chose the seat next to her. “He said, ‘This is silly. Why don’t I just sit next to you?’” Brooke recalled. A friendship eventually turned into a partnership and a life back on Whidbey Island. They live in Brooke’s father’s childhood home built by her grandfather. And now, like her parents once did, they have a business on the island. “There’s been tremendous support,” Jeremy said. An official ribbon cutting will take place at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, and the clinic will celebrate with an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27.

WSU presses port on plan By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A plan to revamp Greenbank Farm and increase its economic viability won’t be considered by the Port of Coupeville until next year. The plan, presented by Washington State University, aims to push the struggling farm further into the world of “edu-tourism” providing an active educational facility that could be used by students and visitors alike. Port officials said they are bound by their current management agreement, but want to discuss the plan in the future. WSU staff said they believe the port should be more excited about the proposal. “I was disappointed in the response,” said Island County WSU Extension Director Tim Lawrence. “It seems they left the door open, but not very wide.” The port is juggling budgetary priorities under their ever-tightening funding constraints. Greenbank Farm has a problematic sewage system that will need an overhaul, and the Coupeville Wharf has been wracked with storm- and age-relat-
ed maintenance problems over the last year. The port has only $180,000 in its undedicated fund, which it needs to last the next three years until the current bond for Greenbank Farm is repaid. Currently the port pays approximately $106,000 annually on the bond. Lawrence said that WSU’s vision for Greenbank Farm will likely take several years to realize, so getting started soon is key. “They don’t see a vision,” Lawrence said. The WSU vision includes expansion of the school’s curriculums in agriculture, food systems and hospitality to Greenback farm. Students could attend courses in on-site classrooms, receive valuable hands-on experience, complete internships and earn small farming certifications, according to Lawrence. “I think it’s a great opportunity for Whidbey Island to have a permanent four-year school here,” said Port of Coupeville Executive Director Tim McDonald. However, he said, the port is not in a position to discuss the WSU
proposal until their current lease agreement with the Greenbank Farm Management Group expires in June 2015 and a new farm manager is selected. “It’s really not the time,” McDonald said. McDonald said the port is accepting management applications through Sept. 24, but hasn’t received any applications as of press time Friday. McDonald said he thinks the port commissioners’ response to WSU, written by Commissioner Mike Diamanti, was positive. “I think the port board is enthusiastic about working with WSU to establish a significant presence at Greenbank Farm,” McDonald said. “But there are business issues that need to be taken care of first.” Island County Economic Development Council Director Ron Nelson said that these type of educational positions would inject good, professional-wage jobs into the county that fit with its rural character and charm. Making Greenbank Farm more of an educational facility would create revenue during the island’s nontourist months, Nelson said. Plus it

Washington State University’s extension office is interested in making the farm into an educational facility. would diversify the types of revenue coming into the local economy, which currently balances precariously between the Navy base and home construction. “We really need to diversify,” Nelson said. Nelson said he understands the port’s hesitance to jump on the bandwagon. “They have a fiscal responsibility,” Nelson said. “They’re saying ‘we have a money problem,’ and that’s fair. However, we have other opportunities. How do we make this
a win-win for the current tenants, the county and Greenbank Farm?” For example, the port could use rural development funds to assist Greenbank in building necessary infrastructure and fix the sewage problems currently faced by the farm, Nelson said. “There’s a lot of positive potential.” “It is so tough to grow the appropriate businesses in Island County,” Nelson said. “It’s very, very hard, but this fits.”
Whidbey General undergoing changes in leadership By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
There’s big leadership changes on the horizon for Whidbey General Hospital. As the hospital moves forward with a $50-million expansion project, both the CEO and the CFO announced their plans to leave. Chief Operations Officer Hank Hanigan’s last day with the hospital will be Oct. 11. He is leaving to become the chief executive officer of Whitman Hospital in Eastern Washington. Tom Tomasino, CEO of the hospital, said earlier that he will not be renewing his contract with the hospital when it ends in 2015. And the hospital has a new interim chief financial officer, Frank Hemeon. Anne Tarrant, president of the hospital board, said she doesn’t think the leadership changes will result in a hardship. “Tom’s got a good plan in place and I think the hospital will be fine,” she said. Tomasino has put the hospital in “a very good position,” she said. Hanigan said he jumped at his chance to work as the CEO in a similar hospital to Whidbey General; Whitman Hospital is also a critical access and public district
hospital, the working environment he’s used to. But the real deciding factor for him was the proximity to his children. “My daughter has just started school in Spokane, and my son is going to be moving to Spokane,” Hanigan said. “I like my kids; I want to be near them.” Hanigan has been with Whidbey General Hospital since February 2010, and since then, there have been many changes for the better. “I have had the opportu-
nity to get involved and really improve the facility in so many ways that, career-wise, it’s just been a magnificent experience,” Hanigan said. Some of the accomplishments he listed included updating medical equipment and helping to bring patients back to the hospital. Hanigan said that a few years ago, patients seemed to “drift off island,” but they’ve “done a lot to bring them back.” “It’s kind of exciting,” Hanigan said of his career move to Whitman. “It’s sad to
leave, because I do like this place a lot, but it’s also exciting. I’ve been able to reach a goal that I’ve wanted, which is good for my family.” Tarrant said the board will likely allow the new CEO to choose a replacement for Hanigan. Tomasino told board members at a June meeting that he plans to retire in October 2015. The board is currently working with an agency to do a nationwide search for candidates. “As Tom prepares to leave in late 2015, we are
experiencing high patient volumes, exceptional quality scores and improving patient satisfaction,” wrote Public Disclosure Officer Trish Rose in an email. She credits Tomasino with helping with that improvement. “As I prepare to leave Whidbey General next year after nearly 15 years of service, I could not be prouder of our team’s efforts to meet the community’s growing healthcare challenges,” Tomasino said in a written statement. In his resignation notice
to the board of commissioners, Tomasino wrote that, while he was CEO, “we have accomplished most of what we set down in our strategic plan, and much that we had not even considered.” Hemeon stared as the interim financial officer this summer. “I definitely think it’s going in the right direction,” Hanigan said of the hospital’s changes. “One of the things that I really feel so good about is the community support that we now have.”

IN OUR OPINION Consider applying to serve on park board The North Whidbey Park and Recreation District has been treading in turbulent waters and dysfunction for some time. The best way to change directions is for civic-minded citizens to get involved in the park commission. The district’s problems go back more than two decades. In the 1990s, a swim coach mysteriously skipped town amidst rumors of sexual abuse. He is currently held in a California prison and the district recently settled lawsuits with his victims for millions of dollars. In 2003, in-fighting on the board led to a recall effort against two commissioners. In 2012, the then-director jumped in the deep end by firing a swim coach and an office manager after they refused to provide him the password to the swim club’s books. Swim club parents were outraged. The coach and office manager filed wrongful termination lawsuits. Meanwhile, the state Auditor’s Office was called in to investigate the club’s books. The director and several commissioners quit for various reasons. More recently, the new director, and then the park board, fired the new swim coach in a convoluted series of decisions. Last month, the park board inadvertently broke several public meetings rules by appointing the aforementioned former office manager to an impending vacancy on the board. After the Whidbey News-Times alerted the chairman to their mistake, the board rescinded that appointment. District leaders are now looking for candidates to fill the open seat. Next year, four of the five positions will be on the ballot. The best thing for the park district now is for citizens without agendas or axes to grind to become involved by applying to fill the vacant seat. After all, the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool is a great amenity for a wide range of folks — from children just learning to swim and swim teams to Navy personnel. Many older folks rely on the pool for low-impact exercise. This is not to criticize the current board members. It’s not uncommon for small, special-purpose districts to run into trouble with the complexities of state law or personnel matters. They are volunteering their time and investing sweat and tears into an endeavor that, sometimes, might feel thankless. The community should be appreciative of the park board members’ dedication, even when mistakes are made. However, it’s time for others to step up to the plate and help manage the district.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Transit
Disgusted with board’s self-serving decision Editor, Friday I witnessed a vigilante mob lynch an outstanding public servant. Scott Dudley and his dopes spewed bitter half-truths and intimidated our elected board officials to fire Martha Rose. Bob Clay, Helen Price Johnson, Jim Campbell and the rest of you board members, do you really think making Martha a scapegoat and bowing to McCarthyism is going to make the silent majority vote for you next goaround? The answer is … oh no. You and the state auditors saw the same false information that Martha did, and none of you raised a red flag either. This error was so hidden that nobody, including the state auditors, to whom we pay tens of thousands of dollars every year to catch this type of an error, recognized it. Most of us who worked with Martha over the years are all angry and shocked that this type of a lynching
was approved by the board, especially before even getting the audit report. Martha built this organization into a national award–winning agency and worked for years getting the grants to build this much-needed facility. The angry “employees” that write letters to the editor are 90 percent disgruntled ex-employees who were fired for not doing their jobs. Martha has given her heart to this community and fell prey to an incompetent finance manager. Once she recognized the problem, she took strong action to pull our agency out of a financial nose dive. And she developed a financial plan that could do it. We couldn’t be in a more precarious point in our recovery to lose her guidance now. We, and I speak for most of the employees of Island Transit, are heartbroken, disillusioned and disgusted at you self-serving politicians. What is the world coming to where McCarthyism is allowed to be practiced? Sandra Kuykendall Acting Financial Manager, Island Transit
Editor’s Note: Per our Saturday story, Martha Rose submitted a letter of resignation and told the News-Times she was retiring, not resigning.
Politics
Obama’s failures are due to GOP roadblocks Editor, There’s a metaphor for the current state of our government that seems to capture how things are. Imagine a freeway and an overpass. The government controls traffic on the freeway. When everything runs well, traffic travels at the speed limit and all are content. Republican leadership is on the overpass and needs to control traffic. The easiest way is to toss concrete blocks off the overpass. Success: The traffic is stopped. Republicans complain about the state of government and how poorly it’s run. This seems like a fair metaphor, considering GOP leadership convened the day of Obama’s inauguration and decided they would do anything necessary for him to fail. Walt Mistler Oak Harbor

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6
Analysis backs up 51-percent figure on popular vote Editor, I would like to address two things in Robert Brown’s Aug. 30 letter to the editor. First, Brown stated, “Terr y Ann Gallagher and Johnston referred to President Barack Obama as being ‘much loved.’” This was not the case. I said that Obama was elected twice in a row with more than 51 percent of the popular vote, which indicated a majority of the populace preferred him over the alternatives. The distinction is considerable. That leads me to my second, and final, point. Brown wondered what math system I used to determine that Obama was the first president in more than five decades to win the election twice in a row with more than 51 percent of the popular vote. The systems I used were comparative analysis and basic subtraction, both of which are commonly taught in the first grade. Since Brown stated that I might be right in my stipulation that Obama is the only president in more than five decades to win two terms with more than 51 percent of the popular vote if we do not count Presidents Reagan or Clinton, I will use their results as an example of how I came to that determination. Popular Vote, by percentage, by election year, per president: President Ronald Reagan 1980 election: 50.8 percent 1984 election: 58.8 percent President William Jefferson Clinton 1992 election: 43 percent 1996 election: 49.2 percent President Barack Obama 2008 election: 52.9 percent 2012 election: 51.1 percent Using comparative analysis, we see that since Reagan won 50.8 percent of the popular vote in 1992, an amount less than 51 percent, and Bill Clinton never won with more than 49.2 percent of the vote, also
an amount less than the 51 percent mentioned, neither won twice in a row with greater than 51 percent of the popular vote. Using subtraction, the difference between 1956 — when Dwight D. Eisenhower won election to his second term with greater than 51 percent of the popular vote — and 2012 (first or second grade subtraction), is 56 years. Comparative analysis shows us that 56 years is greater than five decades. Ergo, Obama is the only U.S. president in more than five decades to win by more than 51 percent in both terms. Hopefully, this provides the clarification Mr. Brown sought. Richard Johnston Douglas, Ariz.
Gun initiative won’t do much for prevention Editor, On the surface, it appears that Initiative 594 is both simple and reasonable. After all, most of us are in favor of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mentally incompetent persons. But wait, this initiative, crafted and funded by rich and powerful out-ofstate social manipulators (Michael Bloomberg, et al) is neither simple (18 pages) nor sensible and will do virtually nothing to deter illegal gun trafficking, reduce crime or prevent unlawful possession and use of firearms. There are much better and more practical ways to accomplish these goals, like firearm identification cards similar to a driver’s license. Among the provisions of this initiative, written to make criminals out of many of those who now enjoy safe and legal recreational use of firearms, are these: No firearms may be loaned without a papered and taxed federal transfer, which would also include transfer fees both when the gun is loaned and when it is returned, regardless of the length of time involved. Want to shoot your neighbors new gun at the range or on a hunting trip? Want to coach a new shooter or give or take safety classes with firearms provided by the instruc-
THEY REPRESENT YOU tors? Leave your gun with a friend for repair or cleaning? Let your buddy borrow your extra gun during the hunt because he’s broke? Let anyone borrow your car with a firearm safely stowed in the trunk? None of these would be legal, and violations would all be serious crimes with second offenses being class C felonies. Space limitations won’t permit me to list all the bad provisions of this ill-conceived initiative, so Google it, read it for yourself and you will see that I-594 is not designed to keep guns from criminals or reduce crime. It is intended to create over whelming obstacles to private possession and use of firearms. I-594 targets recreational shooters, competitors, hobbyists and collectors. Don’t be manipulated. The more-than-4,300 members of the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs oppose this initiative and you should too. Michael McInerney Langley
Larsen should state stance on war powers Editor, As we get closer to the November elections, voters must ask candidates if they believe endless war should come to an end. Congressman Rick Larsen should clearly state his position on the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force. The Authorization provided two presidents unchecked power to wage war without congressional authorization. Many constituents believe that the authorization must be cleanly repealed — and not replaced — because it not only gives the president — and any future presidents — unchecked power to wage military action, it also allows the president to use lethal drone strikes that have killed civilians and unfettered sur veillance, including U.S. citizens. Congress must take back its authority to oversee the president’s use of military force. It is their constitutional duty to do so. Micki Jackson Bellingham

Her childhood years were spent on the family farm in Asker and in the towns of Ponoka, Alberta and Haney, British Columbia. After high school, she attended Edmonton General Hospital School of Nursing, graduating as a registered nurse in 1948. She traveled with friends to the great state of Texas in 1952, later moving to San Diego, where she met and married the love of her life, her “Sailor Man,” Floyd K. Solum. Married in 1957, she lived through several moves and deployments, including a two-year tour in San Miguel, Republic of the Philippines. She returned and settled in Oak Harbor in 1968 after Floyd retired from the U.S. Navy as a Master Chief Radioman. Gwen was an active member of Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, with the altar guild holding a special place in her heart. After her active nursing days, she was appointed and enrolled as an American Red Cross Nurse and volunteer first-aid instructor.

Oak Harbor teen earns Eagle Scout distinction Eighteen-year-old Oak Harbor resident Ryan Hughes recently received his Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts of America program. Hughes has been in the program since 2003, when he started Cub Scouts. One of the requirements in earning the Eagle Scout rank is to plan, develop and lead a service project that benefits a school, church or the community. After weeks of planning, Hughes decided that with
the help of the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, he would work on their Oak’s House, which is a house they rent out to people who are having economic problems. Hughes and his team redid the back porch of the Oak’s House, which included updating the structure, replacing the deck and creating a garden that stretched along the side of the house. The project took place April 27 to May 10.

Midway businesses hit by BB guns By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Two businesses on Midway Boulevard were vandalized with BB guns over the weekend. Martin’s Auto Electric was shot at Saturday afternoon. BBs left a hole in one of the windows and shattered panes of glass at the front of the building. “I got a phone call that the windows were shattered,” said Steve Abrahamse, one of the owners of Martin’s Auto Electric. “(I) called the police, they showed up, found a BB laying on the ground.” Abrahamse said he received the call sometime mid-afternoon. It was strange that the vandalism occurred during the day, said Jennifer Yzaguirre,
an officer with the Oak Harbor Police Department. Similar events have been happening every few weeks, including paintball damage done to cars and lawn ornaments over the summer, Yzaguirre said. Those incidents usually happened at night, she said. “It’s real easy to shoot a car and just drive away,” Yzaguirre said. Oak Harbor police have no leads or suspect vehicles at this time. Michael Salmons said his truck was shot at between 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday morning. “We get there about 7 in the morning, and we come to see there’s this nice little hole in the rear passenger window,” Salmons said. The truck, used by
ATTACK CONTINUED FROM A1 but knew his face.” The woman was driving along West Beach Road when Byars told her to pull into the driveway of a home. He allegedly claimed he lived there. Deputies subsequently determined that the house is vacant and for sale. The woman claims Byars suddenly grabbed her and tried to place her into a headlock. “There was no warning before the attack,” Deputy Robert Davison wrote in his report. The woman told investigators she tried to escape from the car, but Byars went around to the other side and dragged her out, putting her into a rear choke hold. The woman later said
she could not breathe and felt herself passing out, the report states. The woman screamed, fought and honked her horn. At one point, Byars allegedly threatened to “break her neck,” the report staid. The commotion alerted a neighbor, who called 911. Byars eventually calmed down and the woman got back into the car; Byars tried to climb in, but she was able to drive away from the scene without him. The alleged victim also called 911. Responding deputies said they observed that the woman was “hysterical” and sustained visible injuries. Byars ran away from the scene on foot. He later told a reserve deputy that his

Lourdes Asian store on Midway Boulevard, was packed with care packages that were going to be sent to the Philippines. Salmons said he was planning to take the packages to Seattle for delivery on Saturday. At first, he said he thought someone tried to break into the car to steal the boxes. A BB was found at the scene, however. Salmons said he was told these BB shootings happened a lot over the summer, but they weren’t expected to continue after school started. “It’s irritating that kids just go off and damage people’s property,” Salmons said. “There’s a lot of ways to keep yourself entertained. When you got to go blow up people’s stuff, it’s kind of messed up.”
plan was to steal a car, lead deputies on a chase and “kill everybody,” Davison wrote in his report. The report indicates that Byars broke into one house by throwing a large rock through a window. He cut himself on the glass. Investigators said Byars went to another house, where a homeowner saw him trying to open doors on the deck and then went inside the garage. Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie arrived just as the garage door was opening. Norrie said Byars was standing inside the garage next to a car’s open driver’sside door; the key was in the ignition and the car was running, the report states.
Salmons said the police told him they expected that his was probably the first of many calls about BB gun damage over the weekend. Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said he doesn’t think these shootings will continue. “It appears that it was just a one-time incident, maybe two,” Green said. “We had a truck get damaged, we had a business get damaged. “I didn’t find a pattern.” Green said he encourages anyone with any information about the vandalism to contact the police department. n Anyone with information about these or other crimes, call the Oak Harbor Police Department at 360279-4600.

Wolves shove aside Chimacum in Oly opener By JIM WALLER Sports editor
The Coupeville High School football team found what it was looking for. Chimacum, not so much. The two schools left their respective conferences and joined the Olympic League this fall in search of a more equitable situation; in other words, a chance to win more games. In the first Olympic League contest for both teams, Coupeville walloped the Cowboys 48-24 at Mickey Clark Field Friday, Sept. 19. From midway through the first quarter, it wasn’t if Coupeville would win, but by how much. The Wolves recovered an onside kick and two fumbles and turned them into touchdowns, resulting in leads of 27-0 and 41-0 after the first two quarters. With a 40-point lead, the mercy rule was triggered and the second half was played with a running clock. Chimacum’s offense picked up in the second half as Coupeville sprinkled in a heavy dose of substitutes. The two teams traded punts to start, then the rout began. The Wolves marched 50 yards and scored on a oneyard quarterback sneak by Joel Walstad with 5:37 left in the quarter. Walstad’s pointafter kick was blocked. Coupeville then recovered
a Cowboy fumble, which began a sequence where the Wolves would score 21 points in two minutes and 14 seconds. Set up by a 43-yard Wiley Hesselgrave run, Walstad scored again from the 1-yard line. The PAT pass failed, and it was 12-0. The Wolves recovered an onside kick and began at the Chimacum 33. On the first play, Walstad passed to Bayne for a touchdown, and Walstad followed the TD by throwing to Ryan Griggs for a two-point conversion. Chimacum, again, lost a fumble. This time Bayne went 31 yards on the first play, and two plays later, scored from the 5. Walstad kicked his first of four straight PAT’s to made it 27-0. After a Cowboy punt, C.J. Smith made a nice grab on a 37-yard pass from Walstad that put the ball at the 1. Bayne scored from there. Chimacum went backward on its next possession, thanks to two Coupeville sacks. After the punt, Hesselgrave ran for 18 yards and Walstad hit Smith with a 20-yard scoring strike. Walstad’s PAT kick made it 41-0 at the break. The Cowboys finally scored with just under three minutes left in the third quarter. It took the Wolves only two minutes to counter when Bayne scored from 35 yards out.

Winners in doubles: 1, Raymond Paraiso/Jared Alano-Gray, 6-3, 6-1; 2, Max Van Dam/Nathan Magdalera, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0; 3, Matthew Hallahan/Calib Byers, 6-2, 6-3. Oak Harbor (1-1, 1-3) goes to Marysville-Pilchuck (0-2, 1-5) at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25.
Cross Country Oak Harbor took its yearly trip to Seaside, Ore., for the Three Course Challenge Saturday and returned with its usual impressive medal haul. The boys and girls teams both finished second in Division I (the
top division), John Rodeheffer was the overall boys champion and Jonalynn Horn placed second among Division I girls (fourth overall). The meet, which is run at Camp Rilea, is divided into three 5,000meter races (hard, moderate and easy) and features unusual obstacles like mud and sand pits. One hundred-seventeen teams and more than 2,000 runners competed. Rodeheffer defended his hard course title, running 19:02 to defeat 426 participants and earn the meet’s overall individual championship. Horn, also running the hard course, posted a 25:01 among the 247 runners. Sebastian Ceaser (16:32) was the top Oak Harbor boy in the easy race, placing 16th overall. Olivia Flack (21:18) was 25th among the girls.
In the moderate races, Logan Clark (21:11) ran 33rd and Emma Lerch (27:33) 55th to lead the Wildcat teams. Oak Harbor returns to Wesco action when it meets host Shorecrest, Lake Stevens and Monroe at 3:45 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25, at Hamlin Park.
Volleyball Coupeville finished eighth out of 16 teams at the South Whidbey Invitational Tournament Saturday, and Oak Harbor lost 3-2 at Arlington Monday. Highlights for Coupeville were shutout wins over Lopez and Seattle Christian. In the win over Seattle Christian, Coupeville scooted to a 13-1 lead as Kyla Briscoe served 12 straight points. “We had a great tournament,” coach Breanne Smedley said. “I’m really pleased in the direction this team is headed as we continue to work hard and play
together.” Smedley was pleased with the defensive effort in the two wins, as Lopez and Seattle Christian failed to reach 14 points in any games. “Our defense really started to step up when Valen Trujillo (defensive specialist) had to sit out of the playoff games due to knee pain,” Smedley said. “Madeline Strasburg was a spark plug defensively and at the net,” Smedley added. “Lauren Rose grew a lot as she set the entire day.” Coupeville (0-3) hosts Mount Vernon Christian (2-1) at 6:15 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25, in a nonleague match. Arlington defeated Oak Harbor 26-24, 25-27, 25-12, 18-25, 15-5. Claire Anderson registered 23 kills and 14 digs; Hailey Beecher had 15 assists and three aces; and Natalie McVey collected 11 assists and 13 digs. Oak Harbor (1-1, 1-3) hosts Shorecrest (1-1, 3-1) at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24.
Chimacum broke off a 44-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Coupeville committed turnovers on its final two possessions, and the Cowboys used a short field to score with 4:18 left in the game. Coupeville piled up 312 rushing yards as Bayne, Hesselgrave and Lathom Kelley all averaged over 10 yards per carry. Bayne led the way with 172 yards on 13 carries; Hesselgrave had 94 yards on seven carries; and Kelley 47 on four. Walstad hit six of 11 passes for 128 yards with one interception and two touchdowns. Bayne caught three passes for 57 yards, and Smith grabbed two for 57. Bayne topped his typical all-around solid game by leading the Wolves on defense with 10 tackles and a fumble recovery. Matt Shank had nine tackles (eight solo), Kelley eight (seven solo) and Aaron Wright seven. Isaac Vargas recovered a fumble. “It was a great win,” coach Tony Maggio said. “It was nice to get the young guys some time. A great effort.” Next up is Port Townsend, the preseason favorite to win the 1A division of the Olympic League. The Redhawks (2-1), who opened league play with a 22-9 win over Klahowya, will visit Coupeville (2-1) at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26.

Dentist gives away $18,900 smile ‘Dream Makeover’ contest lands Oak Harbor woman free services By RON NEWBERRY
A Staff reporter
ndrew Lai was listening to the radio nearly four months ago when an advertisement caught his attention. The ad described a contest for a $10,000 home makeover. As a dentist in Oak Harbor, Lai started thinking about how offering a $10,000 dental makeover could impact a patient. “I started thinking, ‘What’s that really going to do?’ ” he said of the home makeover contest. “You might be able to renovate a kitchen.
“We might be able to change somebody’s life.” So Lai got together with his staff at Platinum Dental and a contest was born. He launched the “$10,000 Dream Smile Makeover Contest” on June 2 on a social media website. Last week, the contest winner was revealed after she arrived for her first appointment to let Lai determine the scope of the dental makeover. The name that was drawn belonged to Nicoyia Martinez, 20, of Oak Harbor. She arrived at the dental clinic on Barrington Drive with her boyfriend
Lai takes a photograph of Martinez’s front teeth after doing an initial exam at his Barrington Drive office last week. Christopher Lintz last Wednesday to meet Lai and his staff and see for herself if the dental clinic and its contest were for real. “I’ve never won anything in my life before,” she said. “This is too big to win for the first time.”
“I told a lot of people about it too,” Lintz said. “They said, ‘It’s probably fake.’ ” They soon learned the contest not only was legitimate, it would go beyond what was promised. After examining X-rays
and taking his own look at Martinez’s teeth and gums, Lai explained to his client what his course of action would be. He went over a treatment plan that would require seven appointments (one with oral surgeon Prabhjot
Singh) and include teeth whitening, the removal of four wisdom teeth, the filling of five cavities and installation of 12 crowns with a newer, harder, more translucent material to improve her bite, as well SEE MAKEOVER, A13

as the appearance of her teeth cosmetically. Lai said the crowns will allow Martinez’s teeth to align correctly, taking pressure off of her upper and lower incisors when she bites down. They also will correct the appearance of any crooked and crowded front teeth. “When she’s done, it’s going to look like a Hollywood smile,” Lai said. To be exact, it’s going to be an $18,940.64 smile. But Lai isn’t charging Martinez for his services, nor was he planning to worry about the work exceeding the original $10,000 contest limit. “It shows what we can do as a dental clinic,” he said. “It’s also helping people out.” “It’s going to change a smile.” A bad experience with a previous dentist three years ago, coupled with a lack of dental insurance, has kept Martinez from returning to a dentist’s chair until this contest came about. She almost didn’t have a chance. The original winner was Oak Harbor’s Jamie Dawson, but she declined

She said she didn’t feel nervous with the 36-yearold Lai, who has been in practice for 11 years, including the past three in Oak Harbor. “It feels too good to be true,” Martinez said. “I don’t think I could be more grateful.” The idea of making a profound difference in a person’s life appealed to Lai. He said the social media experiment is turning out
the prize because of the dental coverage she already was receiving through the Navy. Platinum Dental’s social media following went from 120 people to more than 1,000 over the course of the contest, according to Evelyn Chandra, the office manager. Martinez, who works at Donut Master, was glad she begain following the page and was happy with her first trip back to see a

COUNTY CONTINUED FROM A1

Wendy Shingleton, left, and Sean Merrill, members of the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District, approved a selection committee for the district’s head coach applicants, as well as a timetable for filling the vacant board seat, at the Thursday board meeting.
REDO
CONTINUED FROM A1 vacancy is official, which wasn’t until later that night. State law also stipulates that a departing board member cannot vote on his or her replacement. During the park board’s Sept. 18 meeting, McDougall read a statement acknowledging the appointment was illegal. The board also rescinded its appointment of Robinson and established a process and timetable for officially filling the seat. McDougall said that the park board relies on Robert’s Rules of Order to run its meetings, and that inconsistencies between Roberts Rules and state law led to the mishap. “If you do Robert’s Rules, everything works out one way,” McDougall said. “There’s only one minor problem — state law works out a very different way, and state law wins.” Later in the meeting, Commissioner Sean Merrill moved to extend the acceptance of board applications until Oct. 17, after which the director, Gino Wolfe, will forward the applications to the existing board members for individual review. Then, during the board’s regular Oct. 23 meeting, the commission will vote to fill the vacant position. “The reason I made the motion that way is we can give everybody, including those that have applied in the past, the chance to still be in the running for the commissioner four spot,” Merrill said. “This is consistent with how we’ve always done it in the past,” Hoffmire said. “Historically, when we’ve appointed someone, we’ve left it open for a window,” he
said. “We’ve allowed people to be a part of the process. “That consistency factor, going forward, is the thing I really think we should always strive to do.” Merrill’s motion passed unanimously. Also created during the Sept. 18 meeting was a selection committee for the head coach position. Wolfe, director of the district, proposed that a committee be comprised of himself, Merrill, Lisa Phillips, Don Brown and Jillian Pape. The committee will begin work right away and review resumes for the head coach of the North Whidbey Aquatic Club position. Wolfe said he hopes they will make a hiring recommendation during the Oct. 23 meeting. “I’d like to get them done as soon as possible,” Wolfe said. Hoffmire, who was a part of the selection committee for former head coach Bill
Patterson, said he is concerned about what the committee might be looking for in a coach. “I know when we had a meeting with the parents, the one thing that came up was a qualified guy or a qualified coach. A good mentor. All these things,” Hoffmire said. “We have to get this so right this time.” Hoffmire said he hopes that the new swim coach will not only focus on teaching the older kids on the team, but also will draw more participation from younger swimmers. “The only way you’re ever going to get the numbers where we want it to be is if you inspire little kids to continue coming back,” Hoffmire said. Hof fmire suggested that there be clear, defined points of evaluation for the candidates. Merrill said he agreed.

are also showing steady increases. “That’s good news, not only for the county but for the local economy,” Marlow said. “When we have a strong local economy, the county is able to provide more services.” Marlow said the “big unknown” moving forward is what state revenues will be available to counties, which rely heavily on the state to help provide funding for law and justice, human services and public health. The McCleary supreme court decision requiring the state to fully fund education may result in a shifting around of state monies, Marlow said. This year’s “wish list” of supplemental budget requests from department heads total just over $2 million from the current expense fund and another $800,000 from other funding sources. Last year’s supplemental requests were almost half that amount at $1.2 million from current expense. This week, the county begins discussions about which of these requests will be funded. Over the past few weeks, county commissioners held preliminary budget meetings with department directors to build their perspective on the county’s overall needs, Marlow said. Nearly every department is asking for additional ongoing funding, something they

Budget Director Elaine Marlow, left, works with county Commissioners Helen Price Johnson, center, and Jill Johnson during a recent county commission meeting. haven’t been able to do for a while, Marlow said. Because early returns are positives, she said, the county is seeing requests they haven’t seen before. “The board has always had to prioritize where they put supplemental finances,” Marlow said. “Last year, the big push was law and justice.” The board reversed a decision to place a lawand-justice levy on the November ballot after discovering they had accumulated a fund balance that would allow them to pay for new sheriff’s deputies. In keeping with promises from county commissioners to restore 2009 staffing levels, the sheriff’s department is asking for $107,760 ongoing for two additional deputies. The sheriff had four deputy positions funded last year. Other big ticket requests include a one-time $300,000 allotment to upgrade the county’s emergency response radio system
to simulcast, allowing law enforcement and county public works staff to be on the same frequency. Human services is requesting $294,000 onetime for a three-year contracted labor relations specialist to assist the county in negotiating with the county’s seven unions. Commissioners have stated their desire to update the county’s website and internet capabilities, so central services is requesting $120,000 one-time for a website upgrade. Central services is also requesting ongoing funds for a data manager, a help desk manager and an intranet developer, totaling $288,000. Facilities is requesting a one-time $50,000 to develop a facilities master plan, the last of which was done in 1995. Public works is requesting a total of $130,000 for the development of a Geographic Information System and a staffed coordinator.
