Mayor is taking case for IT board changes on road By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is taking his criticism of the board of Island Transit to other elected officials across the island, though his message may not be well received. Dudley, who may be seeking re-election next year, is making Island Transit his personal crusade. Dudley said Monday that he plans to attend council meetings next month in Langley and Coupeville to ask mayors and council members “to take a look at SEE DUDLEY, A13

Doing the right thing Wildcat forfeit gains unforeseen attention

t was the right thing to do.” That is what Oak Harbor High School football coach Jay Turner said after the Wildcats football team forfeited Friday’s game against Marysville-Pilchuck. The two schools were primed to meet Friday evening at Wildcat Memorial Stadium to decide the Wesco 3A North title. Everything changed Friday morning, however, after a freshman football player from Marysville-Pilchuck shot five other students, killing two, before he shot and killed himself.

Turner, a 1990 Marysville-Pilchuck graduate, met with his coaching staff soon after hearing about the tragedy. It was clear just minutes into the meeting, with all agreeing, that offering to forfeit was the correct path. Oak Harbor’s gesture of conceding the game received national attention, with praise cropping up on radio, television and the Internet. “It wasn’t our intent that it got out there, or to become what it has become,” Turner said. “The big thing is to keep the focus on Marysville-Pilchuck.” The gesture nonetheless caught the attention of the Seattle SEE GESTURE, A12

Zombies scarce on a dark and stormy night By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Photo by Janis Reid/Whidbey News-Times
Above, a group of “die hard” zombies begin their crawl along Midway Boulevard in the wind and rain at the start of this year’s Monster Mash Street Bash and Zombie Crawl.
The best way to combat a zombie apocalypse is to douse the undead with water. Saturday’s much-anticipated Monster Mash Street Bash and Zombie Walk on Midway Boulevard was poorly attended, likely because of high winds and near-constant rain. Still, approximately 50 zombified attendees braved the inclement weather to raise the dead. “The attendance was wonderful in light of the nasty weather,” said Abbie Martin, a marketing staffer at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Martin organized the event, now in its second year. “Our diehard zombie fans were there,” she said. The first year of the event drew about 200 people. Organizers were anticipating about double that number this year, but the weather did
not cooperate, Martin said. “So now we know what the event is like when it’s nasty out, and it will just get better from here,” Martin said. Volunteer makeup artists from the Whidbey Playhouse provided free makeup services prior to the zombie crawl. The zombie crawl and preHalloween event was created by the Chamber to help boost interest and activity along the Midway Boulevard business corridor. Participation by businesses doubled from last year. Spirits and support for the event remain high. “This year’s Monster Mash Street Bash and Zombie Crawl was good soggy fun,” said Sarah Gallella, who volunteered to tell fortunes at Midway Florist. “It’s neat to see entire families out together enjoying the tricks and treats together,” she said. “I especially liked the addition of the hay ride … and can’t wait until next year’s event.”

Popular gift-giving program now called ‘Whidbey’s Hope’ By JANIS REID Staff reporter
With the Soroptimist of Oak Harbor decision to drop the Tree of Hope, current and former members of the club plan to continue the giftgiving program themselves. Two former Soroptimists will continue the program as Whidbey’s Hope for Christmas. The Soroptimist Club concluded that the program didn’t fall under its mission, which is “focusing on improving the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment.” The annual Tree of Hope Christmas event provided gifts for approximately 1,000 children last year, both boys and girls. “It wasn’t a decision the club took lightly,” Soroptimist leadership said in a prepared statement. After deliberation, the club “determined we needed to step back from this particular project, which is not directly tied to the mission of our organization of improving the lives of women and girls.” A phone call to Soroptimist President Marilee Paddock for comment was not returned by press time. Soroptimist member Erika Carnahan said she is disappointed with the decision. “It’s a very important program for these kids and for these families … the gift giving needs to continue,” Carnahan said. “I don’t think boys should be excluded. Children are children. “I understand the Soroptimist mission and I agree with it,” she said. “But I have a hard time segregating children who need help.” Carhanan said she contin-

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8 At 5:10 p.m., a caller reported that a man used a “high-powered camera” to take photos of children during soccer games at Windjammer Park. At 6:24 p.m., a Northwest Almond Loop resident said he and his father were arguing all day about paying for a sandwich.

Cheri English and Rose Freitas, former Soroptimist members, co-chaired the program for eight years — six of them with the Soroptimist Club.They started chairing the program under the Venture Club. English and Freitas will continue to run the program as Whidbey’s Hope for Christmas. “They chose to discontinue the Tree of Hope program for their reasons, and that is where it should stay,” English said in an emailed statement. “We aren’t promoting them, nor are we going to do anything that’s negative as it serves no purpose. “We have a new program that is no longer associated with the Oak Harbor Soroptimist Club.” The program will still continue to work with past partners, including the Oak
Harbor Church of Christ, state Department of Social and Health Services, and Toys for Tots. Applications must be received no later than Nov. 19. Forms can be picked up that the Oak Harbor DSHS office through Nov. 18. Staff and departments at Whidbey General Hospital sponsor up to 100 children each year under the Tree of Hope program. LaJolla Peters, human resources manager at Whidbey General, said that, while her staff was initially surprised by the program changes, they are eager to participate in Whidbey’s Hope for Christmas. “We were disappointed, of course, because we look forward to that as part of our
own Christmas celebration,” Peters said. The message English and Freitas said they want to convey is that the Tree of Hope will live on and that the giftgiving will continue. “This program has thrived under the direction of Rose and Cheri for many years and with the new change will bring even more opportunities,” said Soroptimist Michelle Curry. “I have my Whidbey’s Hope for Christmas week already blacked out on my calendar and cannot wait to make so many families’ Christmas this year.” n For information about Whidbey’s Hope for Christmas, email to whidbeyshope4christ

Whidbey Avenue crosswalk project takes step forward Engineer’s report concludes proposed crossing is feasible By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Oak Harbor City Council decided to take a step forward last week in installing an unusual and somewhat controversial midblock crosswalk. A total of $23,000 in grant funds will be used to design and permit a pedestrian crossing on East Whidbey Avenue between State Highway 20 and Oak Harbor Street. The money is from a larger $224,500 grant the city was awarded earlier this year. The money comes from the federal government and is administered by the state. The crosswalk is meant to deal with the copious jaywalking between Saars Market and other businesses on one side and the Rollerbarn and residential units on the other. The idea for the project originated with Harbor Tower Village, a retirement center across Whidbey Avenue from Saars Market. Some elderly residents cross midblock because of difficulty walking uphill to the crosswalk. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley spearheaded the effort to get it funded. “I still perceive a real need for a crosswalk here,” Mike Merickel said during the council meeting. Merickel, an Oak Harbor resident, has been vocal on the issue. He said he commonly sees elderly people, children and parents with youngsters crossing in the area and is worried about the potential for an accident.
The project hit a snag earlier this year when council members, particularly Rick Almberg, questioned the wisdom of putting in a crosswalk on a road crammed with driveways, entrances and exits. Almberg, a retired construction manager, made a motion at requiring the city to get an opinion letter from an engineer about the feasibility of the project before moving forward with it. The city hired engineer Ryan Peterson, of Transpo Group, to look into the issue. The segment of East Whidbey Avenue is the busiest east-west arterial in the city, carrying an average of 10,200 cars a day. Peterson counted 25 pedestrians walking across the road mid-block from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on a Wednesday. The mini-study concluded that “a demonstrated need” exists for a crossing in the area. The study proposes two options for configuring the crosswalk. Both call for a pedestrian “refuge” or median, relocation of a driveway into an apartment complex parking lot, edge-lit signs and in-pavement lights. One option would restrict the intersection with Northeast Barron to right-in and right-out turning. Councilwoman Tara Hizon said she wondered how residents in the area would feel about that. Almberg pointed out that the owner of the apartment complex would have to agree to close off the parking lot entrance for the crosswalk project to work. After the meeting, Dudley said he was glad the project is moving forward, but he thinks the opinion letter was a unnecessary step that cost about $4,000. “We wasted time and money just to get questions answered that would have been answered anyway” in the project design phase, he said.

Navy addresses concerns about ‘war games’ in the mountains By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The Navy is trying to mitigate concerns of some Puget Sound residents about so-called “war games” to occur in the Western Olympics. “Generally speaking, there are some misconceptions,” said John Mosher, Northwest environmental program manager, U.S. Pacific Fleet. The Navy is constructing three vehicles equipped with radio wave emitters that will be used to train crews of the EA-18G Growler, based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, to locate and identify the source of the radio waves. A concern expressed by opponents of the training is that the Navy would be emitting a signal that would be hazardous, which is untrue, Mosher said. “There’s going to be absolutely no threat to the public or wildlife,” Mosher said. Radio wave levels emitted from the Navy vehicles will be on par with that
“There’s going to be absolutely no threat to the public or wildlife.” John Mosher, Northwest environmental program manager, U.S. Pacific Fleet.
of a television news truck or marine radars used on some boats, he said. “The phrase ‘electromagnetic radiation’ has been used to describe the emitters’ output,” according to a press release issued earlier this month by the Navy. “Electromagnetic radiation is not the same thing as nuclear radiation. There is no nuclear radiation associated with these electronic emissions,” the Navy said in the release. “In this case, ‘radiation’ is simply electronic energy, and the emitters use frequencies similar to those used for satellite communications, some Wi-Fi devices, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices and weather radar systems,” the Navy said. The training vehicles
will be positioned in areas along the Western coast of the Olympic mountains. While this type of training has been routine in other locations including Eastern Washington, Mosher said, the ability to move a mobile emitter vehicle to different types of terrain will increase the quality of the training. In particular, the ability to locate and identify a signal coming off the water is particularly good training for operations underway in Iraq and Syria, he said. An environmental assessment conducted by the Navy earlier this year concluded that the training would have no significant impacts to the area. The earliest the training would begin would be September 2015, Mosher said.

IN OUR OPINION
Not every lesson is learned on the playing field Last Friday’s tragic shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School was devastating for more than those who were directly involved. It was chilling for every parent and child to hear the news reports of a freshman football player gunning down friends in the cafeteria. It reminds us that the unthinkable can happen here. As Sept. 11 showed us, it’s the worst moments in our history that can bring out the best in each of us. The Oak Harbor Wildcats football team and coaches showed great character and selflessness when they decided to forfeit last Friday’s game against the shocked and grieving Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks. Oak Harbor’s head coach, Jay Turner, a 1990 graduate of Marysville-Pilchuck, met with his staff after school Friday. It quickly became clear that the Wildcats should forfeit the game, he said. Given the extraordinary events of that day, Turner and his staff knew there was no way Marysville-Pilchuck would be ready to play football in the next few days. How could they be? Turner subsequently met with his football players, and the players agreed it was the right thing to do. Turner called Tomahawks coach Brandon Carson, telling him of the decision and said the Wildcats didn’t want the Tomahawk players to worry about a game when they had much more pressing matters to deal with. The game between Oak Harbor and Marysville would have decided the divisional championship. Both teams had already qualified for the playoffs, so the forfeit doesn’t prevent the Wildcats from making the playoffs. It could, however, cause Oak Harbor to enter a more difficult matchup in the first round. A small price to pay for a gesture of incredible magnitude. A small handful have been critical online about the decision, comparing it to the notion that every player should get a trophy just for turning out. We see the sacrifice of the Wildcats as a human sacrifice of great empowerment that all of us can learn from. The Tomahawks have a tough road ahead of them, and, for the moment, rivals on the field have become brothers’ united. And that’s a part of sports that is sometimes forgotten — the most important lessons aren’t necessarily decided on the playing field. We have great respect and admiration for our Wildcat coaches and players. Each and every one makes the Whidbey community proud.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Democrats
If you like abuse of power, then vote blue Editor, After reading John C. Stone’s Oct. 4 letter to the editor of the Whidbey NewsTimes, I realized there are many who refuse to see the facts. When I entered the public school system, we students elected a class president who was our leader for the year. Most companies and civic organizations elect a president to lead them in their actions. For 220 years, up to 2009, the United States had a president who provided leadership. Washington, Lincoln, TR, FDR, Harry, JFK, Reagan. Leadership. Most of the world looked up to the United States for leadership. Remember how, in 1990, President G.H.W. Bush was able to put together a coalition of many nations to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait? I do not think we can get another coalition like that together to fight the ISIS. Taxpayers purchased two super deluxe 747s to provide the president with transportation, command and control for his function as commander in
chief. When the president is in flight, his plane is known as Air Force One, but both planes are making the same trip — very costly for the two crews of 26 each, all those Secret Service guards, fuel, etc. Now those planes are turned into shuttle buses to the many golf courses or collection vehicles for all those fundraising events President Barack Obama attends. These costs are paid for by taxes from Republicans, the Tea Party, Independents and, yes, Democrats. However, funds collected on these many trips go into the Democratic Party bank account. When tax money is not used for golf trips and money collection, the White House Travel Agency provides trips to Africa, China and pick-up service for the First Lady, who stayed a few extra days in Hawaii following Christmas vacation. Some people may think this spending of public tax funds is proper and correct. I do not. I would like for 100 percent of my tax money to go to the operation of the federal government, not in support of the Oval Office ego. Remember Benghazi? Remember Secretary Hillary Clinton flapping her arms around during a hearing/interview and asking what was the big deal? We have a president who is not a
leader, a president who knows nothing about fiscal management, a president who knows nothing about foreign policy, a commander in chief who has no idea how to run the military, reduces the size of services and overcommits the remaining forces. If you like the abuse of power and wasting of tax money, then do as Mr. Stone suggests and vote Democratic. Robert D. Brown Oak Harbor
Election
Endorsements show Nuñez is qualified Editor, I hope voters have noticed that our Island County treasurer, Ana Maria Nuñez, has been endorsed by the Washington state treasurer as well as by fellow county treasurers. There’s a good reason for that — Ms. Nuñez is highly qualified and a leader in her field. Her peers know that. By contrast, her opponent recently stated in a candidate forum that, if elected, she would consult her own husband and Yahoo in order to determine county investments. SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6
Please. That comment alone should make it crystal clear who should actually be trusted with our county funds. Let’s re-elect Ana Maria Nuñez as Island County treasurer. Merri Huffine Oak Harbor
Measure makes criminals of lawabiding citizens Editor, It is unfortunate that those wanting to address the “gun show loophole” didn’t stay to the task and give us an initiative that dealt with that issue. Instead, we got 18 pages of new regulation aiming to make criminals out of lawabiding citizens and making it difficult to stay on the right side of the law. Don’t take the word of the proponents of this; read every page of the proposal for yourself. This does nothing to end gun violence. Heck, if I want to buy a gun from my dad, he has to pay to have a background check done on me, and we also have to pay someone to process all the required paperwork. Your first violation would be a misdemeanor, but any further violation of this complex initiative would be a felony and could result in you having all of your handguns confiscated. Also, parents who leave any type of gun to their heirs create a burdensome paperwork nightmare that must be addressed within 60 days, or, again, you’re in violation of the law. These are just two of the problems. This law is promoted by people who want guns banned for all segments of society. It’s funded by millionaires and billionaires, many of whom live out of state and employ armed bodyguards for themselves. No thanks. Also disgusting about those pushing this initiative are emails they started sending out within a few hours of the tragedy at MarysvillePilchuck High School. Claiming this is another reason to pass this initiative was not only disgusting, but an outright lie based upon what we’ve been told about this terrible tragedy. Criminals don’t buy guns at places where background checks are required, and they aren’t going to start doing so with this initiative. They steal them or buy them in back-alley deals from other criminals. You want to address the gun show issue? Great. Most all of us can support some-
thing reasonable for that, but this is so much more than that. Again, this does nothing to lessen gun violence. This just makes criminals out of law abiding citizens. Vote No on I-594. Chuck Krieg Oak Harbor
More security should be a higher priority in initiative
Editor, Given the awful event in Marysville, I thought it might be interesting to see how Initiative 1351 treats school security and safety. As it turns out, it’s almost a non-priority. Security is a sub-item with central office administration on pages 8 and 9, and a line item specifying “classified staff providing student and staff safety” on page 7. I-1351 is the only initiative worse than the horrible I-594, and that is saying something. It shows that writing complex, virtually illegible, unreadable laws that say one thing and do another is the new norm. The real purpose of I-1351 has nothing to do with education. Its main goal is to hire 25,000 new placid, moldable, dues-paying union chair warmers, regardless whether the schools want them or not, and sell it to the great unwashed with emotions, half-truths and deceptions, i.e., “It’s for the kids.” One estimate is that the unions will have an $800,000 windfall the first year to buy more politicians who will pass more union-driven legislation. Their idea of security seems to be putting gun-free zone stickers on the doors. Obviously the Marysville shooter wasn’t deterred by them. I think security needs to be a much higher priority than this disaster of an initiative provides. It seems hiring custodians to clean up the mess afterward is more important than hiring security to prevent it.

Shooting hits home for local Marysville grad
Editor, I sit here in my nice, safe Whidbey Island home and try to synthesize the horrid events in my hometown of Marysville. Over the past few years, I have digested the tragedies that periodically occurred in “other” hometowns and
felt much compassion and sadness as the particulars of these events manifested themselves into our culture. Now … this one is different. The names that keep cropping up are as familiar to me as they were when I was growing up both in town and on the reservation. I played baseball and basketball with the Williams, Hatches, Sheldons and Moses. A couple of them were my closest friends. My sister also grew up on “the Rez” with Frybergs and Hatches and Jones. My heart goes out to the families of both the survivors, victims and others immediately involved. Being a former high school teacher, coach and administrator, these events are very real to me. I am proud of the athletic program at Oak Harbor High School for the reaching out as they did. We will heal slowly and steadily — that is what we Americans are. God love the Tommies. I will always be one. Robert Moliter Marysville High School, Class of 1951 Coupeville
Wildcats
Team’s forfeit should make the community proud
Editor, In light of the tragic shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday, Oct. 24, I am so proud to hear of the decision made by our Wildcat football team to voluntarily forfeit their game to Marysville-Pilchuck. Whether the decision was made by the coaches, players or all of them, I applaud the decision. Such a moment in the short football careers of these players will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most important things they ever did as Oak Harbor Wildcats. I am proud to be a part of the OHHS community. May God bring comfort to all those traumatized by the events at MPHS. Don Jaques Pastor, Christ the King Community Church Oak Harbor
Island Transit
It’s the end of an era for free bus rides on Whidbey Editor, Let me get this straight. Ms. Martha Rose took weeks of vacation and never deducted them, went to conferences and declared she
was there longer than she actually was, misused federal funds, had no performance review for 18 years, gave herself a raise every two years and provided obvious deficient financial reports, and now the board is going to reward her with a $106,000 payoff. As an Island County taxpayer, I have a huge problem with this. How can this be justified? After lying and cheating the system, you get a reward? Apparently her offenses were not grave enough to warrant charges. As far as the board goes, Mr. Jim Campbell has done the right thing by resigning and the rest of the board should follow suit. Had this happened in the private sector, they all would have been fired and she certainly would not be rewarded for her part in all this. Island Transit has a long row to hoe in regaining the public trust, and they better start charging fares for this service. The free ride has gone on way too long. Michael Van Voorst Oak Harbor
Endorsement
Hannold puts the greater good before himself Editor, Like you, I take voting very seriously. And despite my party affiliation, I rarely vote a party-line ballot: When choosing whom to vote for, a person’s character and motivation for serving trumps all. Island County has two good options in the race for District 3 Commissioner. It will be my honor to serve with either one. However, I am thoughtfully and enthusiastically voting for Rick Hannold. Rick is honest, straightforward, and one of the least political men I know. He clearly says it like it is; cards on the table — 100 percent transparent. His style is
refreshing, agenda-free, and needed. With Rick, you always know where you stand. In addition to Rick’s strength of character, I appreciate his like-minded conservative ideals and values. We believe that limited, focused, priority-based government is in the best interest of Island County, and that it is critically important for the safety of our community that law and justice remains a funding priority. We believe that it is the responsibility of elected leaders to ask tough questions and treat taxpayers’ dollars respectfully and responsibly in both the oversight of the county’s budget as well as in our service on boards. We believe NAS Whidbey is a vital part of our community and should be treated as a respected friend and partner — never as an unwelcomed or unwanted guest. Rick Hannold is a good, hardworking family man. As a private contractor, he knows first-hand both the challenges and opportunities of our local economy. Rick will serve with sensitivity to the needs of your family, and with strength as a retired Navy Chief to get the job done. Rick Hannold will bring a fresh and needed perspective to the Board of Commissioners. After recently asking a candidate forum audience for their vote, Rick continued to show his character by emphasizing that even more important than voting for him, was the simple, patriotic act of voting. What a privilege; what a responsibility! And what a testament to who he his and what he values most! Rick Hannold puts the greater good before himself, and that is testament to who he is and what he values. It’s that level of selfless leadership that I look for in any candidate when I am deciding where to invest my vote. Jill Johnson Island County Commissioner

TWIN WINS Wildcats Rodeheffer, Horn capture Wesco North cross country crowns By JIM WALLER Sports editor

PREP ROUNDUP Wolves lose thriller Klahowya returned an interception 80 yards in the last minute to spoil Coupeville’s homecoming football game Friday. The Eagles won 42-35 in a battle for second place in the Olympic League and for the second and final playoff berth. Coupeville’s Lathom Kelley, playing with a broken hand, finished the game with 162 rushing yards on 23 carries and led the defense with 10 tackles. Wiley Hesselgrave added 57 yards on 10 carries, caught four passes for 69 yards and threw one pass for 46 yards. Defensively he had nine tackles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries. Josh Bayne ran for 43 yards on seven carries, caught three passes for 77 yards, recorded six tackles and intercepted a pass.
As a team, the Wildcats placed second to Arlington in both races. Arlington captured the next five spots behind Rodeheffer to easily win the boys title with 20 points. Oak Harbor (55), Everett (74) and Stanwood (94) followed. Arlington edged the Oak Harbor girls 38-46. Stanwood nipped Everett for third, 69-72. Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell did not compete because of the shooting at M-P the previous day. The Oak Harbor runners and many others ran with red “MPs” inked on their cheeks or shoulders in support. The Cascade Conference and the Wesco 4A schools also ran in Lakewood Saturday. In all, 10 races took place, tearing up an already rain-soaked, muddy course. Rodeheffer won the 5,000-meter race by 11 seconds in 16:03.46. Sebastian Ceaser was ninth (17:38.45) and Miguel Guzman 12th (17:59.47). Horn won by more than a minute, clocking 19:33.4. Laura Rodeheffer placed sixth (21:12.7) and Olivia Flack 10th (21:32.3).
Joel Walstad threw 16 passes, completing 10 for 181 yards and three TDs. Coupeville (3-3, 4-4) will finish the season with two nonleague games. The Wolves go to Concrete (6-1) at 7 p.m. Friday and then face a yet-to-be-determined foe (most likely Vashon Island) Nov. 7.
Curtin takes title Coupeville’s Aaron Curtin and Sebastian Davis finished 1-2 in singles in the Olympic League 1A tennis tournament Monday at Chimacum High School. The Coupeville doubles team of Connor McCormick and Loren Nelson finished fourth and will join Curtin and Davis at the district tournament. District is set for Thursday, Oct. 30, to Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Lakewood Racket Club in south Tacoma, according to the District 3 website.

Efforts to recover rare species resume By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Off to the side of Engle Road in Coupeville, about a mile from the Camp Casey Conference Center, is a long, narrow stretch of land that overlooks Admiralty Inlet. Surrounded by scenic beauty, the property is otherwise unremarkable, partially hidden by hedgerows and barren all but for an occasional fir tree. Yet to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust and other groups interested in prairie restoration, this land is gold. Named the Naas Prairie Unit of the Admiralty Inlet Preserve, the land was identified as a prime location for the land trust to place its efforts to try to recover rare plant and animal species that call prairies home. Driving the effort through federal and state grants is the Golden Paintbrush, a perennial herb that is listed as threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act and endangered in Washington by the Washington Natural Heritage program. Since the land that makes up the Naas Prairie Unit was acquired by the land trust in 2005, prairie restoration efforts have taken place with clearing, burns and plantings of native prairie plants in an attempt to create a habitat friendly to Golden Paintbrush with hopes to attract rare animal

An effort started this week to plant more than 30,000 native prairie plants over the next two weeks with an opportunity for volunteers to help from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Nov. 1. “We’re following a federal recovery plan,” said Patricia Powell, executive director of the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. “We’re working in concert with the state and federal government to recover the (Golden

Paintbrush) species.” Whidbey Island is one of the few places in the world where Golden Paintbrush grow. However, the rich, loamy soil they require in prairie settings is scarce. Less than 1 percent of native prairies on Whidbey Island, or less than 80 acres, remain. It is estimated that about 10,000 acres of prairies existed on the island at about the time of American
settlement in 1850. “It’s an important plant to take care of, especially with prairies being so rare,” said Jessica Larson, a land steward with the land trust. The Naas unit, named after Dorothy Naas, is 33 acres. Last year, the land trust acquired the 46-acre Heritage Forest Unit, which makes up the southern half of the Admiralty Inlet Preserve. That unit includes a small portion of
prairie land where restoration efforts will take place in the future. A survey of Golden Paintbrush in 2005 found 58 plants at the Naas prairie unit. A count taken in May revealed that number had jumped to 4,250. The recovery efforts are part of a joint plan involving Washington, Oregon and British Columbia centered on restoring prairie habitat,
Powell said. “Here in Washington, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service would like to see 20 sites that have 5,000 Golden Paintbrush for at least five years,” she said. “That’s the idea.” Populations of Golden Paintbrush are found in only 11 sites in the world, including nine in the United States. Of those, five are on north and central Whidbey Island.

ENDORSEMENT CONTINUED FROM A1 Johnson said both Hannold and Jacks are “two good options in the race for District 3 Commissioner.” However, Johnson said, “I am thoughtfully and enthusiastically voting for Rick Hannold.” Johnson said Hannold shares her conservative values, which include maintaining law and justice funding as a top priority, and that a “limited, focused, priority-based government” is in the county’s best interest. Johnson said she and Hannold also agree that Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is a vital part of the community, not to be treated as “an unwelcome or unwanted guest.” “Rick Hannold will bring a fresh and needed perspective to the board of commissioners. His style is refreshing, agenda-

free and needed.” As a private contractor and a retired Navy chief, Johnson said she believes Hannold brings the experience and leadership abilities needed to run the county. “Rick Hannold puts the greater good before himself, and that is testament to who he is and what he values,” Johnson said. HANNOLD “It’s that level of selfless leadership that I look for in any candidate when I am deciding where to invest my vote.” Hannold said Tuesday that he is grateful for the endorsement and that he and Johnson agree on many key issues. “I think I would be able to work well with Jill because we share a lot of the same ideals,” he said. Johnson could be reached for comment before press time.

Seahawks. Turner said he received a call Monday from the Seahawks inviting Oak Harbor and MarysvillePilchuck to use their practice facilities in Renton Tuesday, Nov. 4. “I definitely would like to take the kids down there for this opportunity,” Turner said Tuesday morning, “but it does take some planning as most of the coaches are teachers, so I’m not sure if it will work out or not. “We will need buses, sub coverage, etc.” During a press conference Monday, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that the team wants to do whatever it can to offer support for each school. “Our hearts just opened immediately to try to help in any way that we can,” Carroll said. “When they are faced with an opportunity about a playoff situation and the other school decides to forfeit the game, what an extraordinary gesture. And I think it’s a gesture in every direction and an understanding and compassion that it’s good to be recognized. “You feel so helpless, but we wish that we could do something to ease the pain of all of the people that have been troubled.” After meeting with his staff Friday, Turner said he met with Oak Harbor High School Athletic Director Nicki Luper to discuss forfeiting the game. She was “100 percent” behind the decision, Turner said. Next came a call to Marysville-Pilchuck football coach Brandon Carson.
“We wanted to give them every option, including not playing the game,” Turner said. “With all that they were going through, we wanted to do whatever they needed. “I told him, ‘We will do whatever you need to do. I don’t want you to have to worry about a game when you are worrying about the kids and what they are going through.’ ” In addition to forfeiting the game, a group of Oak Harbor players traveled to Marysville Friday as a show of support. They visited a Marysville-Pilchuck team meeting and a vigil being held at a Marysville church. “They decided to do that on their own,” Turner said. “I didn’t know about it until about 10 minutes before they left. “That shows you the caliber of our kids.” Not everyone was pleased with the forfeit. Some commenters on social media criticized the decision. Even before Friday’s game, both Marysville-Pilchuck and Oak Harbor were qualified for the playoffs. By forfeiting, Oak Harbor finished second in the Wesco North and will host Mountlake Terrace, the second-place team from the south, at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, in a seeding game. The winner will be the No. 3 seed out of the Western Conference and host the Seamount League champion in a quad-district game Nov. 7 or 8. The loser of that game will travel to play the secondplace team from the Narrows League. Marysville-Pilchuck will host Meadowdale, the South champion, to determine the first and second seeds.

CONTINUED FROM A1 who is representing them at Island Transit.” He said he also plans to attend an Island County commissioners’ meeting after the new member is elected Nov. 4. Democrat Karla Jacks and Republican Rick Hannold are vying for the seat vacated by Kelly Emerson. Dudley is calling on all board members to resign in the wake of financial difficulties, recent audit findings and news that former IT director Martha Rose received a payout of more than $100,000 even though the audit showed she wasn’t marking down all of her vacation hours. “People are livid. And rightly so,” Dudley said. “People should be upset. “People should be pissed. This is their money.” Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay is the chairman of the tran-

sit board and the acting director. Other members are Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg and Island County commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Aubrey Vaughan. Oak Harbor Councilman Jim Campbell resigned last week from the IT board and called on the other board members to do likewise. The Oak Harbor Council appointed Dudley as the city’s representative on the board until the end of the year. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said Dudley is welcome to address the council, but added he has no plans to replace Sundberg. “My sense is that Jim Sundberg is a very qualified person who has a lot to contribute to solving the problems at Island Transit,” he said. He noted that Sundberg has nearly a decade of experience working with municipal budgets, holds a master’s degree in city planning and was trained in human resources. Sundberg has been on the tran-
Page A13
sit board for two years. “To solve the problems, they need someone with institutional history,” he said. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said she appoints representatives to the transit board each February; the council approved the appointment. Conard said she has no intention of removing Clay from the position ahead of the normal schedule, but that the council could decide otherwise. Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said change is coming to the board of commissioners Nov. 4 no matter what. Whichever commissioner candidate wins next week will replace Vaughan, who was appointed this summer, as soon as the election is certified. Johnson said she intends to ask to serve on the Island Transit board, but need at least one additional vote. Regular committee and board assignments are made at the beginning of the year. Johnson said it would be foolish to replace

The three commissioners serve on a total of 23 committees and boards, Johnson said, adding the top priority is the county’s budget. Board members should be asking questions and digging in, but they ultimately have to rely
on the information they receive, Johnson said. “It’s easy to sit on the outside and criticize them for not knowing,” she said. “From the inside, I have to say it’s easy not to know.”
Sheriff: Check offenders site before trick or treating Whidbey Island parents can help keep their little trick-ortreaters safe by checking a sex-offender website before hitting the streets this Halloween. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown urges people to be aware of who lives in your neighborhood by visiting www. islandcounty.net and clicking on the “sex offender information” tab under the “sheriff’s department” section. In Island County, there are about 100 current registered sex offenders. Of those, 17 appear on the website because they are Level 3 (the highest risk), Level 2, Level 1 or homeless.
Residents can contact the sheriff’s office directly, at 360-6784422, to inquire about sex offenders not on the list. The mapping and address feature found on the website pinpoints exactly where offenders live. The website also offers the ability to sign up for free email notifications. “Knowledge is power and knowing where the registered sex offenders reside in your area can help you make the best Why do people choices for caring safe and enjoyable Halloween activities,” Brown said.

CONSUMER ALERT
Scammers are targeting newspapers Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers. Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone. The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card. The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper. This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method. To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips: • Ask the caller to identify himself/herself and the office he/she is calling from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly. • Before providing payment information to a caller, ask for information that would be unknown to scammers. This could include your billing address or previous payment information. A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method, check numbers, banking institution and/or the last four digits and expiration of your credit card. • If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined, verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement. If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call. If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately contact your bank and/or credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation. Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this office 360-394-8704, your local police department, or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s office.
