Hannold, Grone take early lead By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
It appears from the first count of ballots Tuesday night that the Republican momentum nationwide was felt in Island County. Republican candidates are ahead in all but one of the contested local and legislative races affecting Island County. The race for the new Island County commissioner, however, is too close to call. Republican candidate Rick Hannold, a North Whidbey resident, is ahead of Camano Island Democrat Karla Jacks by just 301 votes. Hannold has 11,868 votes, or 51 percent, while Jacks has 11,567, or 49 percent. In an interview after the results came in, Hannold said he was expecting a close race. “It’s too early to get excited,” he said, noting that he was behind in the first count of the primary race. Hannold said he was grateful to his loyal volunteers, who he said made up for the big disparity in spending between him and Jacks. “It was really a shoe leather, grassroots campaign,” he said. In the spirited race for county treasurer, Republican candidate Wanda Grone is ahead of her former boss, incumbent Ana Maria Nunez, a Democrat. Grone has 12,459 votes cast in her favor, or 54 percent, while Nunez has 10,507 votes, or 46 percent. Grone said Tuesday that she’s crossing her fingers. “I’m encouraged by the early vote count,” she said, “but I learned in the primary the person with the most votes isn’t necessarily the person who wins.” Nunez offered a prepared statement. “During our nation’s worse recession,” she said, “I was able to invest our scarce dollars to see gains and more importantly my office kept people faced with tax foreclosures in their homes. I hope the good citizens of Island County will continue to be as well served as I have served them.” Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider, a Republican, is ahead with 12,368 votes, or 56 percent. Challenger Rebecca Wagner, an independent, garnered 9,553 votes, or 44 percent. In state Legislative District 10, Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, is far ahead of Libertarian challenger Michael Scott. Smith has 77 percent in the district while Scott has 23 percent. Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano, is also leading his opponent, Skagit County Democrat Nick Petrish. Hayes has 59 percent of the vote and Petrish has 41 percent. The one bright spot for Democrats is the race for the U.S. House seat. Rep. Rick Larsen, a Democratic, is ahead of Republican challenger B.J. Guillot. Larsen has 62 percent and Guillot has 38 percent.

Banks said the investigation will look into “irregularities in compensation” described in the recently released report from the State Auditor’s Office.

Student accused of school shooting threat bails out By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Christopher Malaga pleads not guilty to second-degree murder in Island County Superior Court Monday. He is represented by attorney Jennifer Bouwens.
Shooting suspect pleads not guilty Malaga faces charge of second-degree murder By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The man accused of shooting and killing Oak Harbor resident Adam Garcia appeared in court for the second time Monday afternoon. Christopher Malaga, 23, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. Malaga is being held in Island County jail on $1 million bail. He appeared in Island County Superior Court clad in the orange jail outfit and spoke in a soft voice. Malaga is being represented by Skagit County attorney Jennifer Bouwens. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks previously said that Malaga had been “couch surfing” at Garcia’s home prior to the Oct. 18 shooting, but they got into an argument and
Garcia evicted him. Garcia, Malaga and two others met at the corner of Southwest Castillian and Fairhaven drives at around 3 a.m. for an alleged drug deal. After the exchange, Malaga confronted Garcia and pointed a gun at him, according to the police report. Garcia’s friend got in the middle of the two. His friend later told police that Garcia went back toward Malaga again and Malaga shot him in the face, the report states. The Oak Harbor Police Department led a team of law enforcement authorities, including the U.S. Marshal’s Service, on a hunt for Malaga. He was arrested in Bellingham three days later. Court records show that Malaga has a juvenile history of misdemeanor drug and theft charges. He was from Toms River, N.J., but moved to Whidbey Island about nine months ago; he didn’t have a permanent address but had been living with friends, according to the police.

A 14-year-old Oak Harbor boy who allegedly texted a school shooting threat on Halloween was bailed out of juvenile detention over the weekend, according to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office. The boy made a telephonic preliminary appearance in Juvenile Court Saturday on suspicion of one count of harassment-threats to kill. His bail was set at $1,500 and he was subsequently bailed out. Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said the boy, who
is not being named because he is a minor, allegedly texted a student who was at an after-school dance at North Whidbey Middle School at about 3 p.m. Friday. The text message alluded that the student had hired someone to shoot up the dance, Green said. Green said the police immediately responded to the school and locked it down; parents were alerted to the emergency. The officers maintained a perimeter and searched the school and the grounds. Green said the students and parents were coop-
erative and “did very well,” though some of the students looked a little concerned. Nothing suspicious was found and there was no indication that anyone else was involved, Green said. “We couldn’t find anything to validate his threat,” he said, “but we take them all seriously.” The boy picked an especially sensitive time to allegedly make such a threat. A freshman football player from Marysville-Pilchuck shot five other students, killing two, before he shot and killed himself Oct. 24.
Father, son get help from NAS Whidbey Island SAR A Navy Search and Rescue team from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station rescued a 42-year-old man and his 11-year-old son who were stuck in a steep rocky area of Elk Rock, near Mount St. Helens, earlier this week. Both father and son were suffering from hypothermia and in need of medical assistance, according to a statement released by the Navy. NAS Whidbey’s SAR was dispatched at around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday because it was the only available high-altitude nighttime
resource in the region. According to the Helicopter Aircraft Commander Lt. Cmdr. David Waner, the SAR crew landed the MH-60S helicopter in a river bed. “We used great crew resource management to keep the mission on track,” Waner said. “Thanks to the SAR ground team for preparing them for transportation and the Cowlitz Sheriff and Dispatch.” The two victims were flown to Providence Centralia Hospital.

Dropping gas prices not stirring up customers By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Even as gas prices have dipped under $3 a gallon, Ben Hill hasn’t noticed a significant increase in gas customers at the Skagit Farmers Supply Country Store in Oak Harbor. One of the rare places where an attendant still peeks under the hood as a courtesy to check oil and other fluids, the Country Store was selling regular unleaded gas at $2.95 a gallon Monday, one of the better deals in Oak Harbor. “People are a little more savvy using their smart phones,” said Hill, a disabled veteran who works part time at the Country Store. “I don’t see a big change. Most of my customers, people have a business account and are in here all the time.” A drop in crude oil prices over the summer is translating to lower prices at the gas pump, including Oak Harbor, where unleaded gas dropped below $3 a gallon in recent weeks. Four Oak Harbor stations were selling gasoline at $2.95 a gallon Monday, with one, AM/PM Mini Market on State Highway 20, offering Arco gas at the cheapest

Arco, at $2.93 a gallon, and Hilltop Auto Service offer the best deals for regular unleaded gas in Oak Harbor. At left, Ben Hill of the Skagit Farmers Supply Country Store said that their station is set apart because of its low price ($2.95) and customer service. price at $2.93. On Tuesday, Phil Collier, owner of Hilltop Auto Service on Midway Boulevard, dropped his unleaded gas price to $2.93, matching the best deal in town. Collier said it’s been about
three years since gas prices have dropped this low in Oak Harbor, yet doesn’t see it falling too much more. The price reduction is a trickle-down effect from the drop in oil prices. “I’ve been doing this 40

years now,” Collier said. “Why oil is down now is the China and India economies are sluggish. They’re not using as much oil right now and Saudi Arabia is putting out 340,000 barrels a day more than they should be producing. There’s a glut in the market.” The national average for unleaded gasoline was $2.98 a gallon Monday, the lowest price paid since Dec. 14, 2010, according to AAA. When the
average fell to $2.99 a gallon Saturday, it ended a streak of 1,409 consecutive days of the national average above $3 a gallon, AAA reported. In Oak Harbor, gas started dropping under the $3 mark about two weeks ago. The Country Store, Safeway and the Navy Exchange on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station were offering regular unleaded gas at $2.95 Tuesday — two cents more than Arco and Hilltop,

which sells Shell gas. “When I started selling fuel, it was 50-something cents a gallon,” Collier said. “Now, our federal and state tax is 62 cents a gallon. Isn’t that ridiculous? And we’ve still got crappy roads.” Those venturing off Whidbey Island are able to find gas cheaper. At the Chevron station near the Swinomish Casino and Lounge in Anacortes, unleaded gas was being sold for $2.75 a gallon Tuesday. Three outlets in Burlington dipped to $2.69 a gallon Tuesday. The lowest price in the state Tuesday was found at Point Roberts in Whatcom County at $2.57 a gallon. Collier said it’s been tough to compete with state tax breaks received by Native American tribes.

Annual parade Saturday salutes U.S. veterans By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
Three women who served in the military during World War II will lead Saturday’s Veterans Day Parade through downtown Oak Harbor. The third Oak Harbor Veterans Day Parade will begin at 2 p.m. and travel down Pioneer Way. There are even more participants this year than last year, and it’s going to be a “great group,” said parade coordinator Terry Lacey. Two of the three grand marshals, Eva Brown and and Francis Skinner, served with the Navy WAVES. By serving as WAVES — Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service — men who previously filled their positions were made available for sea duty, according to Brown. “I really feel honored that they do recognize the women,” Skinner said. The third grand marshal, Pat Ricketts, served as a pilot in the Army Air Corps. She was stationed for five months in Karachi, India. “I think it’s quite an honor,” Ricketts said of being appointed a grand marshal. The parade will also include the Oak Harbor High School marching band and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps,
both armed and unarmed drill teams. Lacey started the parade in 2012, working by himself to put it on for the community. “The involvement by so many has made it easy to want to continue each year,” Lacey said. “This year is special because of our special guests and all the parade participants.” This year, the parade is being co-sponsored by the Whidbey News Group, which publishes the Whidbey News-Times and Whidbey Crosswind. Each year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Lady Auxiliar y has arranged Fallen Hero Banners to honor those who have passed in service to the country. After the parade, Lacey said the participants can go to a reception at the American Legion Building to speak with veterans about their experiences. “The main highlight is seeing all the people along the streets showing their support for all the veterans,” Lacey said. “It will be a fantastic time.” n For more about the grand marshals for this year’s Veteran’s Day Parade, please see the special section in today’s newspaper.

Oak Harbor Seeks Members of Public Interested in Architectural Design of Wastewater Facility The City of Oak Harbor is continuing to make progress on design and planning for the new Clean Water Facility (CWF) planned in the vicinity of Windjammer Park, on schedule to bring the facility on line by the end of 2017. The next step is collecting community input to develop the architectural “look and feel” of a facility that fits within the Windjammer Vicinity. To support the design, the City will host an indepth design focus group/workshop with a group of citizens from a variety of backgrounds and organizations. The event will be on Thursday, November 13, 2014, and the city is seeking participants. This design workshop will provide an opportunity to hear about the City’s latest design progress, and participants will have a hand in helping develop the architectural look and feel of the facility. Participants will: • Understand the civil engineering associated with the project – which dictates height and size of buildings. • Provide your insights into Oak Harbor’s existing architectural character. • Help narrow choices for architectural design of the wastewater facility. Approximately 12 people will participate in the process beginning this fall. The City will be inviting approximately ten group members to represent a range of important and related functions, including local businesses, arts community, planning commission, park neighbors and park users. A minimum of two additional “at large” seats will be available to the general public who may wish to participate. In an effort to encourage input from the widest possible cross section of our community, preference for the “at large” seats will be given to members of the public that have not yet had an opportunity to participate in past workgroups. Members of the community interested in participating, and available November 13 should email treatmentplant@oakharbor.org. To help get the most out of this discussion, the City is asking interested community members to provide the following input by Thursday, November 6th at 5:00 PM: • What buildings in or around Oak Harbor do you think provide the best examples of architecture that could be included in the new Clean Water Facility? Please email us photos or images of up to three example buildings, or send us the building names and addresses. We plan to discuss these images and others at the Nov. 13 workshop. • Along with each image or photo, provide a brief sentence or two that describes why you like this architecture. • Do you have a unique perspective or idea to bring to this architectural discussion? Please provide a few brief sentences. Members of the public not interested in one of the “at large” seats, or unavailable on November 13th, can still provide input. The City encourages sending photos and perspectives in the form described above for use during the Workshop. Please email your input to treatmentplant@oakharbor.org by Thursday, November 6. Design Focus Group details: Date: Thursday, November 13 Time: 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. Location: Old Whidbey Island Bank Building, 450 SW Bayshore Dr, Oak Harbor, WA Media questions can be directed to Joe Stowell, City Engineer by calling 360-914-7000, or emailing treatmentplant@oakharbor.org.

To ensure fairness for all, Lady Justice wears a blindfold PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By Keven R. Graves
On the front page of today’s Whidbey News-Times is an article about an Oak Harbor man, Daniel Raavel, who was hit so hard in the head while he slept it literally left him with an gaping, oozing hole. One has to wonder how he survived. After a deputy prosecutor decided that charges wouldn’t be filed against the suspect identified by the victim, Daniel’s mother, Luanne Raavel, embarked on a personal crusade for justice. Raavel, to say the least, was not a great fan of the newspaper in the past, but she came to my office and asked for help. She shared gory photos of her son’s injuries and said she didn’t know where else to turn. During our conversation, Luanne conceded her children made mistakes. She suspected the attack on her son wasn’t of much interest to prosecutors because of Daniel’s lessthan-spotless background, and because his alleged attacker claimed to be related to an Island County judge. Shocked by the photos she showed me, I told Luanne that it was surprising to me as well that no charges would be filed. Her story left me with many questions of my own. I recommended that Luanne talk to our criminal justice reporter, Jessie Stensland, whom I consider one of best crime reporters in journalism. Because of her history with Jessie, Luanne was hesitant, but finally acquiesced. Jessie contacted Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks and asked what he knew about the Daniel Raavel case. Turned out Banks wasn’t aware of it and quickly reopened it. And that set in motion a sequence of events that resulted in charges being filed this week against the suspect, Troy Hilkey. Hilkey, 32, is charged with second-degree assault. Banks said the original decision by the deputy prosecutor not to charge was “hasty” and issued without the benefit of a full investigation. Banks said he used the Raavel case as an opportunity to remind the criminal prosecutors that charging standards for crimes against people are based on a lower quantity of evidence than for property crimes. Being in the newspaper business, it’s not our job to decide who is deserving of justice and who is not. It’s our responsibility to shine a light on the judicial process and cases like Daniel Raavel’s. Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a reason, and fairness is one of them. Now that charges are filed in this case, it’s up to the courts to render the final verdict. And you can be assured, we’ll be watching.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Samaritan
Grateful for help given by stranger Editor, We would like to send our thanks to Norm at the corner of State Highway 20 and Arnold Street. On Sept. 11, 2014, Norm came to our rescue. The passenger-side rear slide on our motorhome decided to start sliding out as we were driving along Highway 20. Talk about stress. The only place we could see to pull over was a bus stop marked, “no parking.” We pulled over, traffic flying past us. More stress. A few minutes later, a pickup truck pulled in front of us. Little did we know it at that time, but it was a modern-day knight in shining armor named Norm. Pretty soon, between Robin and Norm, our slide was temporarily back in place and Norm said to follow him back to his home, where he had wood and saws and everything we needed to make it secure to travel home. We were able to head up to the bor-
der and back to our home, where we will get our motorhome permanently repaired and back in working order. Norm didn’t have to stop to help two total strangers from another country, but he did. We will never forget the kindness he showed us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Kathie Parker and Robin Page Abbotsford, British Columbia
Island Transit
Rose’s payout was a contractual obligation
Editor, Recent discussion of Island Transit finances confuses the state audit report with the separation agreement for the previous executive director. The official state audit report covers 2013 and part of 2014 and recommends more careful definition and tracking of paid leave — sick leave, vacation time and compensation time. The audit did not document any “theft” of sick leave, vacation time or compensation time; rather, it recommended better documentation of
these categories for all salaried personnel, which was instituted immediately. Unfortunately, the audit report did not mention that accrued vacation days for 2013 and 2014 for the former executive director can, and do, accurately account for the longer dates out of the office in 2013 and 2014. The separation agreement with the previous executive director, Martha Rose, was drafted by legal counsel, in consultation with the Washington State Transit Insurance Pool in October 2014. It included carefully calculated benefit obligations set forth in Island Transit’s Personnel Policies, including payouts for unused sick leave and vacation subject to maximum caps on payouts as provided in these policies. Due to 25 years of employment with Island Transit, Martha Rose had accrued considerable sick leave and also vacation hours going well beyond the caps. The settlement did not reimburse these above-cap hours. Amounts paid out in the separation agreement were contractual obligations pursuant to Martha Rose’s employment agreement and personnel policies that apply to all Island SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

Committee looking at Boeing accountability THE PETRI DISH
By JERRY CORNFIELD A smart group of ordinary folks, entrusted to advise state lawmakers on the merit of tax breaks, has a suggestion regarding the jumbo incentives enjoyed by the Boeing Co. and the rest of the aerospace industry: Figure out how we’ll know when they stop paying off. The five-member panel with a mouthful of title — the Citizen’s Commission for Performance Measurement of Tax Preferences — concluded that Washington needs a clear means of measuring benefits received from $8.7 billion in tax savings Boeing stands to covet over the next couple of decades.
On a 4-1 vote, the commission recommended that the Legislature “establish specific economic development metrics and reporting mechanisms” for the tax breaks, which are intended to help the aerospace industry grow. Commissioners didn’t spell out what they thought those “specific metrics” should include, cognizant of the difficulty faced by lawmakers in devising any degree of check on tax breaks. They are counting on their broadly worded recommendation to spark a conversation in Olympia. The tax breaks are so big that they shouldn’t be given out unless their value can be justified with an objective measuring stick, commissioners said before the vote. Leaders of two unions wanted the panel to be bolder — to endorse a requirement that Boeing maintain a minimum number of jobs to receive every dollar of tax savings. Though that didn’t happen, representatives of the Society of Professional Engineering
Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) applauded the commission’s recommendation. “This is really the first look at the public’s evaluation of the tax preference legislation. As such, we find the commission’s recommendation an encouraging step toward accountability,” SPEEA spokesman Bill Dugovich wrote in an email. Larry Brown, IAM’s political director, said the citizen panel is “trying to get closer to where we’d like to see the state when they give tax preferences.” “We appreciate the progress they’re making, but there’s more work to be done.” The extent of that “work” will be the topic when union leaders next meet with Gov. Jay Inslee. Union leaders are crafting a bill dubbed the “Aerospace Tax Incentive Accountability Act,” which they hope will link the quantity and wages of jobs in aerospace with tax preferences.
They want to make sure firms can’t lay off or move workers — as Boeing has done to thousands of engineers in the past 18 months — without some financial repercussion. They’ve lined up a few friendlies in the House and Senate, but the governor isn’t rushing to get on board. The citizen commission’s recommendation could bolster their pitch. “The intent of the Washington legislation was to grow our state’s aerospace industry,” Dugovich said of the tax breaks. “The commission’s recommendation is appropriate — the Legislature needs to ensure tax breaks build our state’s aerospace industry and it’s done with jobs that adhere to established wage standards.” n Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com.

Transit employees. Upon the recommendation of legal counsel, the separation agreement was accepted unanimously at the Oct. 17 meeting of the Island Transit Board. Jim Sundberg Langley City Council Representative on Island Transit Board
Change in state law may help transit Editor, Island Transit’s current board oversight challenges may have many causes, but the greatest may not be the fault of the current Island Transit Board at all. According to state code spelling out certain guidelines for public transportation benefit area boards, these boards: “… shall consist of elected officials selected by and serving at the pleasure of the governing bodies of component cities within the area and the county legislative authority of each county within the area.” This state requirement, that transit board members must have been elected to other public offices, may simply be asking too much of those responsible for providing policy direction and legislative support for these sorts of complex systems. Local elected officials — city and county — are, first and foremost, responsible to the constituents in their respective jurisdictions. To meet that obligation, they not only serve on their city councils or county commissions, but also on numerous committees and boards related to those primary duties. Serving on Island Transit’s gov-
erning board may unreasonably divide the attention of these otherwise attentive and professional elected officials. If so, this may go a long way to explaining how Island Transit apparently went so long without closer attention and more direct scrutiny from its own governing board of elected officials. In the event this is the case, the good news is that this situation is not to any degree uncorrectable. The bad news is that it will take a change of state law to adequately address it. As demonstrated, state law requires that these board members be elected officials of component jurisdictions. A simple change of one word in this law can and, I think, should solve this dilemma and give the public a lot more latitude in who serves them on these types of boards. If we change the excerpted portion of the statute to read “may” rather than “shall,” transit boards could then, where desired, consist of appointed, rather than elected, public officials. Once accomplished, the elected officials currently serving on the Island Transit Board could take a step back from direct oversight of Island Transit and, instead, appoint a commissioned board whose members would have that oversight as their sole responsibility. The elected officials — now sitting on a regional transit committee, rather than the board — would still provide legislative support but would delegate the aspects of system oversight and direction to the board members they appoint. The appointed board members would still be public officials, would still take oaths of office and have to abide by the same ethical standards

all public officials should, but they would be able to devote all of their attention to Island Transit, rather than just a part of that, as but one of numerous other boards and committees on which they serve. A simple change in state law in this regard could help give us the latitude we need to provide the sort of governing oversight which Island Transit both needs and deserves. John Greet Oak Harbor
Editor should support transit recovery plan Editor, In the Oct. 25, 2014, issue of the Whidbey News-Times, in the Sound Off column “Will work to ensure transit has a future,” Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson provides a “get-well plan” to bring Island Transit back to an operational status where it is providing “what the community wants the transit system to provide in the future.” I believe that News-Times Editor and Publisher Keven Graves should support the plan with better reporting of transit board actions and an independent assessment of key decisions by the board.

Global Warming
Comment reveals a lack of understanding Editor, One of your readers left comments online after the article “Navy acknowledges climate change threat,” that demonstrate a lack of knowledge of basic climate science, yet his name is linked with the University of Washington. Really? Denial of global warming flies in the face of volumes of evidence gathered from billions of measurements around the world and its atmosphere by the scientists with the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington who have done an extraordinary job of reporting the damages and dangers of global warming and ocean acidification caused in large part by our overuse of fossil fuels.

Edward Charles Benedict After a courageous battle with cancer, Edward C. Benedict of Oak Harbor passed away with his loving family by his side Oct. 29, 2014, at the age of 77. He was born Aug. 18, 1937, in Cambridge, Neb., to Charles and Hazel (Feichter) Benedict. Ed grew up on a farm and graduated from Wilsonville School, which housed grades 1-12. A few years after graduation, Ed enlisted in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer in Oak Harbor after 20 years of services. He served at various duty stations including two tours in Vietnam. Ed met Judith Roberts, and Dec. 24, 1960, in Belmont, Calif., they were married. The family welcomed two daughters, Colleen and Kim. After retirement, Ed took up a number of hobbies, including raising Hampshire and Duroc hogs. On a number of occasions, he donated pigs for the pig scramble at the local rodeo. He also had a passion for automotive repair and became known as the
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

Lingbloom
Lawrence Gilbert Lingbloom
Lawrence Gilber t Lingbloom, of Coupeville, died peacefully Sept. 23, 2014, at Whidbey General Hospital following a brief illness. Born Sept. 18, 1915, in Selah, Wash., he was one of eight children of August and Anna Lingbloom. The family moved to Bellingham in 1928, where Lawrence met his high school sweetheart and lifelong partner, Edna. They were married in 1933 and lived life to the fullest for 74 years until Edna passed in 2007 at the age of 91. Together, they endured the Great Depression, and he served in the United States Army during World War II. A carpenter by trade,

Lawrence established a successful contracting business, building countless houses in the Bellingham area, as well as a retirement home on Race Lagoon, Whidbey Island, which became the Lingblooms’ permanent home in 1977. As the longest tenured resident of Race Lagoon, Lawrence became known by his neighbors as the “mayor.” He was an avid hunter and fisherman, pursuits he shared with Edna, his children and grandchildren. In retirement, he and Edna loved to travel, including annual fishing trips to Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada, winter retreats to the Desert Southwest and several vacations in Hawaii. Lawrence continued a vital and active life right to the end, celebrating his 99th birthday just five days before he passed. He was a popular fixture at local establishments, including Toby’s in Coupeville and Randy’s Pier 61 and Swinomish Casino in Anacortes. Lawrence was proud of his Swedish heritage, would never refuse a game of poker or cribbage and was living proof of the salutary effects of a little Bourbon. Admired for his kindness, generosity and humor, Lawrence was the patriarch of a large and loving family. He is survived, and will be dearly missed, by his daughter, Shirley Ashenbrenner; his son, Larry Lingbloom; many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren; great-great -grandchildren; as well as dozens of devoted friends. A private graveside service was held at Sunnyside Cemetery Sept. 27. A memorial celebration at the family home is planned for June 2015.

Out of the spotlight and back on the field, Wildcats hammer Hawks By JIM WALLER Sports editor
After his team weathered a week of shock, sacrifice, adulation and attention, Oak Harbor High School football coach Jay Turner didn’t know what to expect when his Wildcats took on Mountlake Terrace Friday night in Oak Harbor. He liked the answer he received; Oak Harbor walloped the Hawks 49-9. The win earned the Wildcats the third seed out of the 3A Western Conference, and they will host Kennedy Catholic at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, in the quad-district playoffs. Terrace is the fourth seed and will head to Olympia to face Capital. “The past week has been a roller-coaster ride,” Turner said after the game. “We didn’t know how the kids would respond. It took a few minutes to get comfortable.” Once the Wildcats settled in, Mountlake Terrace was in trouble. The Hawks moved the ball early, with Ryan Lacrosse scoring from three yards out on the game’s first possession. The next time Terrace had the ball, the Hawks ate up enough yardage to set up
a 46-yard field goal by Ivan Melchor. From that point, Mountlake Terrace collected only three first downs. The Wildcats were dominant on both sides of the ball. The Oak Harbor offense got on a roll early and never stopped, averaging more than 10 yards per play. After the Hawks’ first score, Oak Harbor sophomore fullback Princeton Lollar bolted up the middle for a 45-yard TD, his first of four scores. On the run, he shed two defenders at the 15 and carried another the final 10 yards into the end zone. Running in “Beast Mode” all night, the 225-pounder bulled for 165 yards on 16 carries. He wasn’t the only standout. Quar terback Clay Doughty hit nine of 11 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown. Dyllan Harris caught eight of those passes for 203 yards and the score. On gains of 42 and 51 yards, Harris out-jumped and out-wrestled two defenders to complete impressive plays. Doughty’s other completion was a key 22-yarder to David Ray. On third-and-six, Doughty slid out of several tackles in the pocket to find Ray, who made a diving catch to complete an outstanding
play at both ends. Dejon Devroe ran for 114 yards on nine carries and scored twice. He had a 30-yard touchdown run nullified by a penalty. Mark Johnston kicked seven extra points. Koby Cosper and Mike Lanningham recorded sacks. In all, the Wildcats piled up 563 yards. Turner praised the play of his offensive line, saying it “did a nice job of punching some holes.” Terrace finished with only 159 yards of total offense. It ran just 16 plays in the second half for 26 yards. The Hawks’ Lecasse entered the game as the Wesco South’s leading rusher, averaging 120 yards per game and 10.3 yards per carry. He ran for just 50 yards on 15 carries against the ‘Cats. Oak Harbor led 28-9 at the break and 42-9 after the third quarter. With all the emotions of the Marysville-Pilchuck shooting and the hectic aftermath, Turner said his staff “tried to eliminate as many distractions as possible.” “The kids were excited to get out and play after not playing for two weeks,” he said. “I’m really proud of our

understand what is important.” And he wasn’t referring to winning football games.
Kennedy Catholic The seven-team Seamount League has only two 3A schools (the others are 2A). The 3A team with the best record earns a playoff spot; that team could finish sixth with one win and get in. This year, much to Oak Harbor’s misfortune, the top Seamount 3A school is undefeated champion Kennedy Catholic (8-0), the state’s eighth-ranked team. Kennedy’s title, though, is no surprise. The Lancers are a perennial state power. The Lancers are led by a stingy defense, which is led by 6-foot, 305-pound Manase Kamoto. Last year as a junior, Kamoto was a first-team selection on offense and defensive and named the con-
ference’s Offensive Lineman of the Year. Coach Bob Bourgette, who has guided Kennedy for 20 years after serving as an assistant for 23, calls Kamoto the best defensive lineman in the school’s history. Kamoto and company allow opponents only 88 yards (54 rushing, 34 passing) and five points per game. Oak Harbor averages 408 yards per game, 305 rushing and 103 passing. The Lancers’ offense is strong as well. After defeating Seattle Prep 18-3 in the season opener, Kennedy has not scored fewer than 42 points in a game. Kennedy Catholic, like Oak Harbor, is a run-first team. The Lancers rushers are paced by Junior Ngauamo, a 6-foot, 225-pound senior, who is averaging 150 yards per game (9.5 yards per carry). Ngauamo’s running mate, Keannu Royster, averages 11.7 yards per carry.

Rodeheffer repeats as district cross country champ By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Oak Harbor High School senior John Rodeheffer set a 3A course record in winning the District 1 cross country meet at South Whidbey High School in Langley Saturday, Nov. 1. With the win, Rodeheffer defended his district title and became the first Wildcat boy to qualify for four state meets. He will be joined at state by Wildcats Jonalynn Horn, a senior, and Laura Rodeheffer, John’s sophomore sister. Horn placed second and Laura Rodeheffer 14th in the 3A girls race; the first 15 finishers earned state berths. Neither the Oak Harbor boys or girls qualified for state as a team, breaking the girls five-year streak. The top three teams earned state berths; the Oak Harbor boys placed fifth and the girls fourth (just seven points behind Arlington) in the 14-team meet. Arlington won the boys meet with 55 points, followed by Glacier Peak (58) and Edmonds-Woodway (85). Oak Harbor scored 182, nearly 100 points behind fourthplace Shorewood (87). Glacier Peak edged Mountlake Terrace 47-50 for the girls title.

John Rodeheffer (3419) paces the pack on the way to winning the district cross country crown. John Rodeheffer ran a 15:36.09, good for a 3A record on the South Whidbey course and just one second off the overall course record. It was also the best time of the day out of 69 schools and 1,042 runners. The District 1 4A, 2A, 2B and 1B schools also competed Saturday in Langley. Rodeheffer’s time was the eighth-best 5,000-meter time
by a 3A Washington runner this year, though courses vary in difficulty around the state. Rodeheffer’s race featured two district champions. Edmonds-Woodway’s Miler Haller won the 4A title last fall; E-W moved to the 3A classification this school year. Haller finished second, seven seconds behind Rodeheffer.
Rodeheffer said after the race he was happy with how the race played out and said it was similar to the meeting between the two runners earlier this season, also won by Rodeheffer. Rodeheffer took an early lead (about 50 meters in the district race), Haller took over about two-thirds through, then Rodeheffer regained the lead late.
The Wildcat senior said his goal is to finish in the top five at state. He placed 11th at state last fall after finishing 61st as a sophomore and 69th as a freshman. Horn entered the district girls final with the fifth-best time. Although she skipped over three other runners to place second, she said she was just “OK” with the race. Once she and winner Heidi Smith broke from the pack, Horn felt she had a chance to win. Glacier Peak’s Smith ran a 19:05.42; Horn clocked a 19:14.11. Smith and Horn were in a group of four that left the pack early, then the top two finishers pulled away in the final mile. Horn finished eighth in last year’s state meet, the second best effort ever by an Oak Harbor girl; Debra Vaughn placed second in 1994. She initially said her goal was to place in the top 10 this year, but said, with a smile, “top five,” when John Rodeheffer gave his top-five goal. In addition to placing eighth in 2013, she was 39th as a sophomore. Laura Rodeheffer will make her second state trip after finishing 58th last season. She ran 20:28.68 at dis-
trict Saturday. The state meet is Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco. Head coach Eric Peterson and assistant Andy Wesley were pleased with the Wildcats’ performance at district. They were hoping the girls could squeak into the third spot to qualify for state but knew it was a longshot. They said the Wildcats should challenge again for a state berth in 2015. Though Horn is a senior, the six others who competed at district included four sophomores and two freshmen. Other Oak Harbor results at district: Varsity 3A boys (89 runners): 26, Sebastian Ceaser, 17:37.72; 45, Miguel Guzman, 18:10.5; 47, Jake Hucko, 18:13.13; 63, Logan Clark, 18:42.8; 64, Matthew Nortier, 18:44.63; 68, Wyatt Pauley, 18:54.36.

Concrete slogs way to win over Coupeville football team The Coupeville High School football team’s highspeed offense was stuck in the mud at Concrete as the Lions whipped the Wolves 52-22 Friday, Oct. 31, in a
nonleague game. After heavy rains, the Concrete field was a sloppy mess, according to Coupeville coach Tony Maggio. “It was the worst I have seen,” he said. “When you

stepped on it, you sank up to your ankles in mud.” Maggio noted that “both teams had to play on it,” so it wasn’t an excuse, adding, “Concrete is a very good team.” “Their style of play was better suited for those conditions,” he said. The Wolves rely on speed, and cutting and acceleration were difficult in the muck. To make matters worse,
Coupeville’s best power runner, Lathom Kelley, was injured in the first quarter and did not return. Concrete, behind a large line, plays a power running game with an occasional “pop pass,” according to Maggio. “They out-muscled us at the line of scrimmage,” Maggio said. “It was right up their alley, not ours. We just couldn’t stop them.” Had the game been played

in better conditions, Maggio said, the Wolves would have been more competitive. The Lions (7-1) scored two touchdowns to Coupeville’s one in each of the first two quarters, giving them a 28-14 lead at the break. The Lions used a 24-point third quarter to put the game away. Coupeville’s Josh Bayne slid his way to 136 yards on 12 carries for two touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Jacob Martin finished with 30 yards on seven carries, and Wiley Hesselgrave had 23 on three tries. QB Joel Walstad hit 12 of 26 passes for 172 yards and
a score. Hesselgrave caught six passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. C.J. Smith grabbed four passes for 52 yards and a two-point conversion, and Ryan Griggs had three catches for 43 yards. Bayne led the defense with 10 tackles; Aaron Wright had four; and Hesselgrave, Oscar Liquidano and Matt Shank three each. The Wolves (4-5) wrap up their season with another non-league game, hosting Bellevue Christian (1-6) at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7.

SPORTS IN BRIEF Wolves’ Curtin claims state berth Coupeville’s Aaron Curtin earned his second straight trip to the state 1A tennis tournament by placing second in singles in the District 3 tournament Friday, Oct. 31, at the Lakewood Racquet Club. Curtin fell in the finals 6-3, 6-2 to last year’s second-place finisher at state, Charles Wright’s Griffin Welsh, after winning twice Thursday. Coupeville’s other players in the tournament, Sebastian Davis and the doubles team of Loren Nelson and Connor McCormick, suffered their second loss of the meet in the first match Friday and were eliminated. Each split their matches Thursday and could have placed as high as third by winning out. Coupeville coach Ken Stange said Curtin put up “a monstrous fight” while playing “some of the best tennis of his life.” Curtin qualified for state last year in doubles with
then-senior Ben Etzell. “Qualifying for state in doubles is one thing, but earning a state berth in singles is a much more difficult proposition,” Stange said. “He beat some tough players, and he gave the champ some stiff competition.” Davis placed fifth, losing 6-2, 6-0 in the consolation bracket to Vashon Island’s Steen Jennings, who went on to finish third. Nelson and McCormick lost 6-3, 6-0 to an Eatonville team. “All in all, this was a pretty spectacular district tourney for CHS,” Stange said. “All three of our entrants won at least one match, and we even qualified a singles player for state, the first time I’ve had back-to-back state appearances in my 19 seasons of coaching the boys and girls.”
Wildcat VB team falls at district The Oak Harbor High School volleyball team knew it had a rugged road to travel in the district tournament if it wanted to claim a state
berth. That path became more difficult after the first round Saturday, Nov. 1, at Shorewood High School. The Wildcats lost 3-0 to sixth-ranked and pre-tournament favorite Ferndale (12-3) in the double-elimination tournament. After Oak Harbor lost, Wesco champion Shorewood was upset by Marysville-Pilchuck, dropping the T-birds into the Wildcats’ path. To stay alive in the tournament, the Wildcats (9-6) needed to win last night against Shorewood (10-6); results were not available at presss time. If they won, they play at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at Marysville-Pilchuck. After the Wildcats’ loss to Ferndale, coach Kerri Molitor said, “Our plan now is to re-group and focus on the next match. If we can play with solid fundamentals, anything can happen.” Molitor wasn’t happy with the performance of her team in the Ferndale match, won by the Golden Eagles 25-23, 25-18, 25-20. “I don’t feel like we were mentally ready to play,” she said. “We let Ferndale dictate the pace of the game, and (I) felt like we were in a constant state of making ad-

justments. Our passing was not as strong as it has been going into playoffs, so it was difficult to take control offensively.” Claire Anderson topped the Wildcat attack with 12 kills, 16 digs and three aces. Hailee Blau had seven kills; Priya Osborne had 33 digs; Hailey Beecher had 16 assists; and Natalie McVey had nine assists.
OHYFL peewees reach finals The Oak Harbor Youth Football League peewees won 20-0 over Anacortes Saturday, Nov. 1, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium in the semifinals of the North Cascade League tournament. Two other Oak Harbor teams lost in the semis. Burlington beat the Oak Harbor seniors for the second time this season, winning 22-0 Saturday in Sedro-Woolley and setting Oak Harbor’s final record at 6-3. In a game between two undefeated teams, Stan-
wood White withstood three touchdowns by Caden Leckelt to defeat Oak Harbor Junior Gold 56-20 in Sedro-Woolley. In Oak Harbor’s peewee win, Will Ward, leaving a trail of defenders, scored twice and Brody Snyder scored once. The Oak Harbor peewees will play Stanwood Red for the NCYFL title at noon Saturday, Nov. 8, at Mount Vernon High School.
Vashon tops CHS in district soccer Vashon Island defeated the Coupeville High School soccer team 3-0 Saturday, Nov. 1, at Kingston High School in the first round of the District 3 tournament. The Wolves were eliminated with the loss. “The Wolves played hard and never quit, which has been a common trait all year,” Coupeville coach Troy Cowan said. “We battled the entire match, just couldn’t maintain possession long enough to make a
substantial difference in the match.” Coupeville struggled with the Pirates’ speed, Cowan said. “Vashon Island was a quality team that had a very strong possession game and was full of track stars,” he said. When the Wolves were able to make runs, captain Erin Rosenkranz was the “catalyst.” “Erin played extremely well,” Cowan said. “I am very proud of Erin and honored to have coached her for the past two seasons.” During the bus ride to the match, Cowan said he reminded his team “how lucky they were,” adding, “Oak Harbor’s soccer team was probably home in bed, South Whidbey’s girls soccer team was probably doing the same, but Coupeville’s soccer team was on the pitch still playing. Today, right now, CHS is the best soccer team on the island, and that says a lot.” The Wolves finished the season with a 6-7 record.

Happy couple produces wacky affair Husband, wife team up again to tackle British farce about odd marital matter By RON NEWBERRY
W Staff reporter
herever Rusty Hendrix goes, Bob Hendrix usually isn’t far away. It’s been that way since they got married 34 years ago. Even before. “I was the best man at her first wedding,” Bob Hendrix said with a smile. “He was,” Rusty said. “Bob and I were best friends.” Their inseparable ways continue to play out all these years later, including at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor. Bob Hendrix is directing a British farce, “Run For Your Wife,” that opens at the playhouse Friday, Nov. 7, while his wife is serving as producer. Normally, it’s Rusty Hendrix, the playhouse’s president, playing the role of director. That is, until her husband caught the directing bug. “I was director and Bob really had nothing to do with theater, but we like being together, so he would build my sets for me,” Rusty said. “That’s how it started off.” That was 20 years ago. Since then, Rusty has directed about 20 plays and acted in about as many with a familiar companion on the set nearby. “It got to the point where people thought I was the playhouse set builder,” Bob said. These days, Bob works to build actors’ confidence and keep production flowing smoothly. “Run For Your Wife” is the third play Bob Hendrix has directed at the playhouse, all farces by Ray Cooney. The play is fast-paced with humor interjected in

British farce opens Friday
Director Bob Hendrix and his wife and producer Rusty are combining efforts in ‘Run For Your Wife,’ which opens Friday night. The play marks the first time in 12 years that college theater major Krista Ross, right, who plays Mary Smith, has been on stage. rapid-fire succession, all requiring a certain timing to make it work. The play is set in London in the early 1980s and centered around a taxi driver whose long-kept secret of having two wives is unraveling before him. The character, John Smith, is played by Jim Otruba. The cast includes some familiar faces and some who haven’t been onstage in a while.
The wives are played by Krista Ross and Shealyn Christie. Ross, who plays Mary Smith, hasn’t acted onstage in 12 years. A key character is Smith’s neighbor Stanley Gardner, played by Sean Hall. He works with Smith to try to keep the secret, which starts to become exposed after a mugging sends Smith to the hospital and police become suspicious after discovering two
addresses. Bob Hendrix is intimately familiar with the British farce as he was a cast member in the play several years ago at the Anacortes Community Theatre. Bob played the role of detective while his twin brother played the other police investigator. Playing those roles at the Whidbey Playhouse are Ron Wilhelm and Thomas Clatterbuck.
Bob Hendrix has had this show on his mind for months. “I took the script with me when I was on vacation this summer and blocked it,” he said, referring his trip to Disneyland. Rusty Hendrix said her husband’s understanding of comedic timing rings true in his plays. “I think he’s great,” she SEE FARCE, A13
n Run for Your Wife, a Ray Cooney farce, is playing Nov. 7-23 at the Whidbey Playhouse. Bob Hendrix is directing, while his wife, Rusty Hendrix, is the producer. The comedy is set in two London area apartments in the early 1980s and centers around the troubles of taxi driver John Smith (played by Jim Otruba). Smith works feverishly to keep his secret about having two wives from being exposed after he’s knocked unconscious while saving a bag lady from muggers and two different detectives come asking questions. Trying to save Smith is neighbor Stanley Gardner, played by Sean Hall. The play starts at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $18.

said. “In a farce, it has to be fast because the stories are usually so silly that you shouldn’t allow the audience time to think about the story,” Bob said. “You move it so fast, you keep them laughing.” Laughs come easily around Bob and Rusty Hendrix, especially when they’re together. “They’re just a really wellmatched couple,” said Julia Locke, who, along with husband Jack, are close friends of the Hendrixes. “They like the same things.” Bob and Rusty Hendrix have called Oak Harbor home for 25 years after moving from the Bay Area following the major earthquake that rattled that area in 1989. They followed relatives to Oak Harbor and found another close-knit group at

Hillcrest students use skills making games By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
At Hillcrest Elementary, one after-school activity is keeping students excited and engaged. This class, which has students creating their own video games, was so popular during sign-ups they had to turn students away until next semester. “It synthesizes everything they do all day in class,” said the instructor, Sharon DeWitt. “They use math skills. They use narrative writing … They use art in their backgrounds. They use music. “It’s a great way to bring all their learning together, and they don’t even realize they’re learning their eighth or ninth skill of the day.” They’ve only had six hours of the class total so far, but the students, ranging from third to fifth graders, have already made a few video games, including versions of the popular game Flappy Bird. DeWitt said that by the end of the semester, “every kid should be able to write his own video game.” Some work in small groups, some work alone, but they all are learning persistence, according to DeWitt. She said that the students in the class don’t get discouraged when they do something wrong because they can just try it again and even get help from their peers. “It’s not really a failure kind of thing,” said fifth-grader Kyle Bowles, “because you don’t fail, you just found another way of doing it wrong.” Many of the students taking the class have goals of making video games for a living when they’re adults. Grey Morris, a third grader, says he wants to work with Game Freak designing Pokemon games. Asher Frazure, a fourthgrader, wants to make games
like Skyrim. “I think it has them utilize those skills that they’re learning in class,” DeWitt said. “Anytime you can make learning relevant to kids … this is something they can relate to.” Some students, like Bowles, don’t want to do this for a living one day, so, he said, “this is something I just do for fun. “It’s very awesome to be here, working on a computer after school Tuesdays and Thursdays,” Bowles said. With nearly 40 students in the class, much more than originally planned, the students had to be split up into two different rooms to make sure everyone had a computer to work on, though they also utilize tablets in the class. Next semester, DeWitt is hoping to have plenty of new students take the class, as well as repeaters, hopefully learning more advanced skills. “It appeals to both left and right brain: the artistic kid, the creative kid, and the logical, sequential kid,” DeWitt said. “That’s what’s really nice about it, I think.” Despite the limited space, DeWitt and Hillcrest Principal Paula Seaman said they want each student to have the opportunity to learn these skills, so during the week of Dec. 8, Hillcrest will be participating in the worldwide Hour of Code, put on by Code.org to introduce and teach computer science to students. Morris joined the class with his best friend Porter Henderix, and the two work together and share their games with each other to play. “The best part is how I get stuck on levels and everybody helps me,” Henderix, nicknamed “The Coder” for his skills, said. “And then I help others on levels, and then we just get through it all together.”
Oak Harbor High School choir students are working with two community organizations to put on a show next year. The two auditioned choirs at the school, the Treble Choir and the Harbor Singers, are teaming with Whidbey Island adult singers and the Saratoga Orchestra for one big concert next year. That’s about 150 people who will lend their voices to the classic piece “Carmina Burana.” The words of this performance were written about 700 years ago by traveling musicians, according to Choir Director Darren McCoy. The music was written by a man named Carl Orff, a German composer who survived World War II living in Germany. “The music is very, very exciting,” McCoy said, “and very, very challenging stamina-wise.” Though the concert won’t be until March, the choirs are already rehearsing the music “24/7,” said junior Madison Pewitt, a member of the Treble Choir. Pewitt said that McCoy’s plan is to incorporate music from “Carmina Burana” into the other concerts the choirs are performing so they have more time to get used to the music and have fewer pieces to learn outside of it. “There’s so much music that it kind of makes it hard for us to do any other concerts this year,” McCoy said.

Oak Harbor High School Choir Director Darren McCoy coaches the Harbor Singers choir through warm-ups during class. He said that this collaborative performance came when the new director of the Saratoga Orchestra, Anna Edwards, approached him with the idea. “She asked me if I would be willing to do a combined project together,” McCoy said. “One of their main focuses is trying to bring more orchestral music to the island.” “This is something that Anna is very committed to,” said the orchestra’s executive director, Larry Heidel. “She is an educator at heart and by profession.” The orchestra is also responsible for finding the approximately 50 adult singers to round out the music, according to Heidel. He said information can be found on their website at www.sowhidbey.com/call-forsingers.html This is the first time the high school has done a collaboration like this. McCoy said that in the
past, they’ve worked with other choirs, like from the middle school, and they’ve worked with the high school band, but never with an orchestra. “Everyone’s really, really excited to work with the orchestra because it’s something we’ve never done and the school has never done,” Pewitt said, “so it’s new for everybody.” Pewitt said that the choir is both excited and nervous to start working with the orchestra and their director because the way Edwards approaches the music could be different from McCoy’s approach. So far, the choirs have not had any rehearsals with the orchestra, something that won’t happen until just before the performance itself. “That’s pretty standard for a choir with an orchestra,” McCoy said. “You work separately, then you put it together within, like,
three rehearsals and then the show.” This is the first time they’ve worked with an orchestra, but if it goes well, McCoy said they would do it again. “We would probably do it in waves of complexity,” he said, “so next year we wouldn’t do something so hard.” Heidel also said that future collaborations are a probable occurrence in the future, partially because of Edwards’ passion as an educator. “She’s very committed to giving youths opportunities where she can,” Heidel said of Edwards. The last time the choirs worked with the band, in 2011, McCoy said they performed pieces from “Carmina Burana.” “A lot of people were asking … we should have an encore of it,” McCoy said. “I suppose if people wanted an encore, this is it.”

CONSUMER ALERT
Scammers are targeting newspapers
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.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

SEEKING JUSTICE CONTINUED FROM A1 Seattle for treatment because of the seriousness of the injury, according to his mother, Luanne Raavel. A deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated and took photos of the gaping wound and the blood spattered all over the house. Raavel identified the man who allegedly hit him as 32-year-old Troy Hilkey, according to the investigating deputy’s report. What seemed a cut-and-dried criminal case to the Raavel family, however, turned out to be anything but. It ultimately launched Luanne Raavel’s personal mission to obtain justice on behalf of her son. That’s because an Island County deputy prosecutor decided not to file charges because Hilkey had alibi witnesses, according to documents on file in Island County Superior Court. Luannne Raavel said she was outraged by the decision. She believed
WSP CONTINUED FROM A1 composed of elected officials from the county and the three municipalities on the island. Banks said his decision to seek a criminal investigation wasn’t in response to any pressure from politicians or residents, though some have called for such an investigation. Banks said Island County Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan was the first person who, months ago, brought to his attention potential problems at Island Transit. Banks said he opted to wait until results of the audit were released to make any decisions about a criminal investigation. “I’ve been following the investigation from the start,” he said. The accountability audit report states that auditors found insufficient record keeping and lack of over-
authorities weren’t taking the assault seriously because her children have had previous brushes with the law, perhaps, because Hilkey’s brother claimed they are related to a prominent Island County judge. “My son was so seriously hurt,” she said. “It was something as a mother I couldn’t let go.” Alibi witnesses were Hilkey’s brother, Luanne Ravel said, as well Hilkey’s two friends, which Raavel said she believes weren’t unbiased observers. She wrote letters to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office and spoke with the deputy from the sheriff’s office, trying to push for prosecution. Raavel said she reflected and prayed about it for a few months before contacting the Whidbey NewsTimes. Prompted by the extremely gruesome nature of the photos of her son’s injuries, the newspaper
sight, but no evidence of misappropriation of funds. Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, chairman of the Island Transit Board, said he was very surprised by the news of an investigation. He noted that the audit found “nothing” to suggest criminal conduct. The report states that Rose’s calendar shows she was on vacation for four weeks in 2013 and three weeks in 2014, but only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 to September 2014. In addition, her calendar showed Rose attended a conference for 16 days in April 2013 when flight records showed she was only in the same city as the conference for four days. Her calendar showed she was at a conference for 19 days in September 2013 when flight records indicate she was only in the same city as the conference for five days. In a final payout, Rose was compensated for unused vacation and sick leave.
contacted Prosecutor Greg Banks, who said he wasn’t aware of the case. Banks subsequently looked into the case and then quickly reopened it. He asked the Island County Sheriff’s Office to investigate. “We made a mistake,” Banks later said. Last week, prosecutors charged Hilkey in Island County Superior Court with second-degree assault. If convicted, he could face up to 17 months in prison under the standard sentencing range. Banks said the original decision by the deputy prosecutor not to charge was “hasty” and issued without the benefit of a full investigation. Banks said he used this case as an opportunity to remind the criminal prosecutors that the office’s charging standards encourage charging crimes against persons based on a lower quantity of evidence than for charging property crimes. Luanne Raavel said she’s happy that Hilkey is now charged, though she believes the charge should be

attempted murder. “It was totally unprovoked,” she said. The injury to her son, who didn’t want to be interviewed for the story, was so serious that the family worried about brain damage at first; thankfully, that didn’t happen. He is still suffering from the aftermath, Raavel said. Born legally blind in the left eye, the assault left Daniel Raavel’s other eye with blurred vision, his mother said. He now suffers horrible headaches and bears the scar of the attack. Luanne Raavel said she didn’t know of any bad blood between her son and Hilkey to explain the attack. She said Daniel is the kind of guy who would do something nice for someone but wouldn’t want anyone to know. According to the deputy’s report, Raavel was visiting his sister at a home in Rolling Hills June 19 and fell asleep on her couch. Hilkey’s friend also lived at the home; Hilkey lived a block away, the report indi-
cates. Daniel Raavel told the deputy that he awoke when Hilkey hit him with a stick or cane; Hilkey, who had a broken foot at the time, yelled at him to leave, the deputy’s report states. Hilkey’s brother later told the deputy that Hilkey was sleeping or “passed out” on their couch all day and couldn’t have committed the assault. Hilkey’s brother became upset when the deputy detained Hilkey, and the brother said he was going to call his uncle, who is a judge, the report states. Hilkey’s brother also allegedly told the deputy he would not be able to find “it,” apparently referring to the cane used in the assault, the report said. Banks said detectives went back and reinterviewed witnesses. In addition, Banks obtained medical records for Raavel, which showed that wood splinters were removed from his head wound. “It’s a stronger case now,” Banks said.

ballot that comes back in,” Reagan said. “So we’ve actually being doing that, scanning the ballots into the system, getting them ready to go into the tally, for the last couple of weeks now. “Today, we’re processing them in bigger numbers than we normally get in the day’s mail.” For Reagan, one of the most challenging parts can actually be making sure every vote is accounted for. The office has a tracking system to help them keep track of the votes, so they’ll know if they missed one. Reagan said it can be difficult to go back through to find where the mistake was made. “But what we’re doing is extremely important, so rising to that challenge is important. “We make sure that the voters’ voices are heard,” she said. “And at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing.” “To see how it all meshes out at the end and who wins,” said election coordinator M’Lissa Christopherson, “is really the cherry on top at the end.”
