Defense bill funds five Growlers in 2015 By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a national defense bill Thursday that grants funding for five EA-18G Growlers for the Navy, according to Congressman Rick Larsen. The $450 million earmark falls short of the Navy’s request earlier this year for 22 additional Growlers in the 2015 federal budget. However, the additional aircraft should allow the Navy to increase the size of its squadrons from

five to seven, according to the United States Naval Institute. The bill must still be approved by the U.S. Senate. After that, it would go to the president for signature. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said the Growlers contribute to the vital role the base plays in the island’s economy and in the Navy’s strategic plan. “We’re in support; we welcome them with open arms,” Dudley said. “We think NAS Whidbey makes a whole lot of sense from a strategic position and also from an economic

‘I’ve been the only one who’s been passionate about righting the ship’ By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-editor
Oak Harbor City Council booted the mayor from the Island Transit board for the new year. On Tuesday, council members criticized Mayor Scott Dudley while a handful of audience members asked them to let Dudley stay and berated Councilman Joel Servatius for trying to take a seat on the board during the last IT board meeting. “I saw a display of childish political grandstanding by Councilman Servatius,” said Jeff Lauderdale, former Island County commissioner candidate, “and I think he
embarrassed himself, this council and the city of Oak Harbor.” The majority of council members defended Servatius, saying that it’s up to the council to decide who represents the city on the IT board, and they wanted Servatius at that meeting. Several council members also chastised Dudley for visiting the Langley and Coupeville councils to urge their elected officials to change their representatives on the transit board. “It is not up to us, or our representative, to go around telling other municipalities SEE COUNCIL, A10

Class-action lawsuit taking aim at island real estate companies By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A class-action suit filed against two Whidbey Island real estate companies claims they did not disclose to buyers the dangers of jet noise.
The lawsuit was filed against Windermere Real Estate and RE/MAX Acorn Properties. Filed Nov. 18 in Island County Superior Court, the lawsuit alleges that the real estate agents’ “deceptive acts or practices have
occurred in their trade or businesses and were and are capable of deceiving a substantial portion of the public.” Only two plaintiffs are identified by name, but the class action suit asks for injunctive

School grant brings new focus
Going to the cats and dogs
By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter
At Crescent Harbor, students are taking a stand on an age-old battle: dogs vs. cats. K-Kids, a club sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Oak Harbor, holds a charity drive every December for dog and cat treats, food, toys and more. The donations are then given to Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation, or WAIF. Whichever species gets the most donations is declared the winner. Debbie Longland, the teacher-leader of the K-Kids and a self-proclaimed cat person, said that, for this drive, “the goal is for the cats to win.” The annual drive isn’t the only one the K-Kids are doing for WAIF this year. Every year, the K-Kids choose projects to support the school, the community or the world, and for the first time, the K-Kids have chosen to focus on one organization for their projects for a whole year, something Longland said is “kind of exciting.” That organization is WAIF. When it came time to choose their charities of the year, Longland said the

Frank Rodriguez, left, and Katie Bishop, both members of Crescent Harbor’s K-Kids, look through the items donated so far for their blanket-and-towel drive for WAIF. choice became really clear. “The animals and the shelter … kept coming up time after time,” she said. “Of course, they love the animals.” Aside from the annual dog vs. cat drive, the K-Kids are also holding a year-long drive for towels and blankets to donate to WAIF. Blankets are used as beddings in the kennels, and towels are used for baths, Longland said. “We’re doing that all year long. “We’re telling families that, as you come across gently used blankets or towels (that they don’t want anymore), consider donating them to WAIF,” she said. Though it is a K-Kids drive, everyone in the school is welcomed and encouraged to participate. “The K-Kids … serve
as a leadership group in our school,” said Principal Kathleen Valenzuela. “They’re a great group of kids. “They come up with these projects and then get the whole school involved.” Anyone from the community as a whole is welcome to donate as well; items for the drive can just be dropped off at the front office. The dog vs. cat drive ends Dec. 17, but the blanket and towel drive will last throughout the rest of the 2014-15 school year. “I think it’s great when kids have an opportunity to serve others and serve their community and look beyond the walls of this school and see and identify needs and do what they can to help out,” Valenzuela said. “It’s always wonderful when our kids do this.”

Awarded a grant from the Department of Defense Education Activity, the Oak Harbor School District has a new focus for upcoming school years. The $400,000, four-year grant is to be used for “positive behavior interventions for students,” said Assistant Superintendent Steve King. “What it will do is give us some positive behavior strategies and things we can do consistently for kids throughout the district,” King said. The school district received two other DoDEA grants in recent years. They went toward improving reading among elementary students and to the middle schools, according to Janice Gaare, director of Special Programs. Because of its success with the earlier grants, the district was invited to apply for the latest one, Gaare said. “Our goal with the grant is to improve the social/emotional skills of the special education students, so they’ll be more
actively engaged,” Gaare said. “A lot of our special education students — not all of them, but a lot of them — lack some of the social skills that they need to be successful in the classroom and lack some of the behavior control they need to be successful in the classroom,” Gaare said. The money will go, in part, toward professional development of the district’s staff as well as increased staffing. Oak Harbor will consult with other districts that had success with similar goals, King said. “It’s important because I think our students and our parents should know that our response to behavior is predictable and consistent,” King said, “and it’s really important that our staff is equipped with the best strategies possible.” Because professional development will be school-wide, the expectation is that the grant will benefit not only just special education students, but all students. “We really think that the grant will have positive outcomes for all students in our district,” King said.

Ladies bid farewell to the ‘first lady of Whidbey Island’ By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The Big Four were back together again. The occasion, though bittersweet, was filled with memories and hugs. One of the four “big” Weidenbach cousins, Beverly Potter, was celebrated in November by more than 55 of the island’s most influential and connected women who came to bid her a bon voyage at the Whidbey Island Country Club. “She’s really a dynamo,” said Lurene Richards. “A legend around here.” Potter is moving to live near family in Alabama after living on Whidbey Island all her life. A school teacher and reading tutor for more than 20 years, the “renowned fashionista” and owner of Causal House on Pioneer Way, a founding member of the Whidbey Island League of Women Voters and a legendary party hostess, Potter has left her mark on the island in a big way. “She was full of magic and excitement,” said Gerry Yakovleff, who taught with Potter. “No one would miss her parties.” The Weidenbachs first came to the island in 1894 and had two sons and two daughters. The Big Four were the daughters of the Weidenbach siblings, a dynamic group of women who were instrumental in initiating changes in poli-

The four are decedents of the Weidenbach family who settled on the island in 1894. tics, education and women’s issues, according to Potter’s many friends. Potter was joined at her celebration luncheon with the other “Big Four” cousins, Juanita Anderson, Margaret Peterson and Avis Rector. “It hasn’t sunk in but it will,” Peterson said of Potter’s departure.
“We have the telephone, email … and we travel,” Rector added. Lois Repoz, the emcee of the luncheon, described Potter as the ultimate civic leader and organizer, a “political junkie” and the pride of the Whidbey Island Countr y Club.” Repoz recalled stories of Potter dancing in Times Square on
New Year’s Eve and swimming from sharks during an exotic trip abroad. “I’d follow Bev to the ends of the earth, and I have,” Repoz said. “We all took different paths to get to your celebration of friendship. Many even cancelled bridge to be here to honor the first lady of Whidbey Island.”
While her friend’s did most of the talking, Potter expressed gratitude and amazement at the turnout for her celebration luncheon. But it was difficult to sell her beautiful scenic home south of Oak Harbor of 52 years, which held so many great Whidbey Island memories. “It was hard to give up
my home,” Potter said. Still, Potter, well known for her adventurous spirit, is looking forward to new projects in her new locale. “Alabama is benefitting from our lovely Beverly,” Yakovleff said. “She’s one of those women who has been so quietly supportive of her community.” “She will be missed.”

James Vyskocil was a signalman third class during the attack and retired after 30 years as a lieutenant commander. He passed away in 2009. James Vyskocil fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, enduring five sea battles and three aircraft crashes. He was also a founder of the Navy’s Retired Activities Program and, in collaboration with former Whidbey News-Times
publisher Wallie Funk, founded the Women’s Sea Cadet Program in 1972. “As a young signalman, he was on duty at the Pearl Harbor naval shipyard signal tower on Dec. 7. 1941,” James Vyskocil’s obituary said. “He watched in horror as enemy aircraft bombed Ford Island and ship after ship exploded into flames. He and his shipmates gave the first alert of the attack and remained on duty on the open platform, 90-foot tower until the next day, when they descended to recover bodies

Number of Growlers flying at Whidbey to be decided by EIS SOUND OFF
By U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen Whidbey Island Naval Air Station distinguishes itself nationally as home to our country’s squadrons of EA-18G Growler jets. These planes fly electronic warfare missions all over the world, defeating opposing air defenses and making the skies safer for U.S. military aircraft and planes from our partner countries. Our communities can be proud that the Navy houses one of its most critical aircraft in the Pacific Northwest, and I am committed to maintaining NAS Whidbey’s role as one of our country’s premier Navy bases, including the use of Outlying Field Coupeville for necessary training like practice carrier landings. I also listened to many people’s concerns about the noise the Growlers create. I understand this concern among community members, and I am working to find solutions that address the impact of noise. As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, it is my responsibility to make sure our military has the resources it needs to protect our country, to help set our national defense strategy, and to communicate what this strategy means to you back home in Northwest Washington. Part of that responsibility is to answer your questions and give you a clear picture of the potential number of Growlers that could be based on Whidbey Island. Congress is currently finishing the annual defense policy bill that governs our country’s defense priorities for the coming year. The bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act, includes hundreds of provisions that address making sure our troops have the resources they need. One provision includes funding for an additional five Growlers, bringing the number of Growlers that Congress will purchase from 135 to 140. I want to be clear: This does not mean NAS Whidbey will automatically house five more Growlers. The number of Growlers at NAS Whidbey will be determined by the ongoing Environmental Impact Study, or EIS, which provided multiple opportunities for public input. After talking to many people on Whidbey Island, I know there is confusion about the current number of Growlers at NAS Whidbey, as well as the number the base may fly in the future. I would like to clarify the math of the Growlers at the base. Currently, there are 82 Growlers actively flying out of NAS Whidbey and 12 used as backup in case an active plane is damaged. The maximum number of active planes the base SEE LARSEN, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IT
Board of directors has its head in sand Editor, Can this shame get any worse? Scott Dudley was railroaded out of the Island Transit board. The only person allowed to ask questions was ousted from an organization that needs to be questioned. Heads in the sand do not have clear vision as to how to fix the problem which is Island Transit. It is time to disband Island Transit in its entirety and turn it over to another transit company, such as Skagit Transit or Community Transit. Island Transit continues to run in the red, taking grant money given for specific purposes and spending the funds on whatever they feel is appropriate, deferring payments and claiming they are, “in the black.” Yet employees still have benefits stripped and denied while the administrative staff suffers no cutbacks. Island Transit does what it wants regardless of the law, including the payout of $100,000 to a former director
who was revealed to have inaccurately reported sick and vacation time. The paratransit services are operating out of bounds for a select few only. Route 5 has been canceled, yet parabuses continue to serve a select few on this defunct route under the guise of a “grandfather clause” which does not exist. ADA rules are very specific as to what area is covered. Only a corridor along existing routes during route hours will be covered by paraservices. No differing in what the ride is for as long as the rider is pre-approved to use paraservice. There is no reason for a parabus to be driving on East Harbor Road; this is an out-of-bounds area. Yet Island Transit paraservice was granted for select riders in this area. A young pararider who is enrolled in a para art class must walk three miles along this road, which has no shoulder, because she has lost paraservice. But the parabuses pass her by taking another pararider home in this area. Once again, Island Transit is in clear violation of the Federal Law, which provides the public funding for this service, and the board has put its head in the sand. The criminal investigation into
Island Transit must reach further than the theft of hours by the former director and stop the current administration from continued crimes against the taxpaying public. Bob Clay, I have asked to publish your recovery plan to no avail. It is past time for Island Transit to continue in this fashion. It must be dissolved or taken over by a reputable organization. Cliff Baldwin Freeland
Dudley
OH mayor’s legacy has been determined Editor, What is up with Oak Harbor’s mayor, “Stump” Dudley? Is he trying to be the czar of the island? Visiting various governmental entities and telling them what they should do is an example of leadership or megalomania. When you contrast this current occupant of the mayor’s office with the previous occupant, Stump comes in a distant second. Comparing the legacies, some may call the former mayor SEE LETTERS, A7

“One-Way” Slowik, but downtown Oak Harbor looked great. The current mayor’s legacies: Firing and hiring practices; trying to impose his will and questionable leadership on one and all; and the fiasco at the post office resulting in his nickname, “Stump.” Charlie Ryder Oak Harbor
Olympic Peninsula
Navy exercises don’t mix with the wildlife Editor, Regarding the Navy’s plans to conduct electronic war games over the Olympic Peninsula, the feds apparently are bowing to pressure to find no significant impact on anything — tourism, residents, endangered species; you name it, it’s A-OK. One problem: the citizenry isn’t bowing. The Navy’s apathy for the endangered spotted owl and marbled murrelet populations of the Olympic Peninsula is just another reprehensible instance of the oxymoron, “Navy planning.” The Navy is drunk on its power and privilege, and with good reason.
Their record shows they know how to grease the EIS tracks to always get their beloved “Finding of No Significant Impact.” The Prowlers and Growlers were never planned for the northern Puget Sound area — they just nibbled their way into a presence over years of inattentive and self-aggrandizing political “leadership,” who privately backslapped the Navy brass and allowed them to advance their military agenda with winks and nods. With that backing, all the Navy had to do was overlook civilian concerns or offer a bit of lip service — that was always good enough. This carte blanche conditioning of the Navy led to its current “no-boundaries-for-us” myopia. These two endangered species, however, demand serious attention and perhaps will make the Navy begin to understand there are boundaries and that FONSIs are not always automatic. For several years now, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, correctly insisted that these new-age jets are a misfit for the Puget Sound area because of their devastating economic and health impacts on the public. It is insulting and sadly ironic that these two avian species will demand greater attention than the huge impacts on citizens and non-endangered species. The Navy should be embarrassed. Be certain, these jets cannot coexist

within the fast-growing Puget Sound region composed of an environmentally informed and proactive public. The inevitability of moving the Growlers to a welcoming and environmentally insensitive area can be done parsimoniously now or at much greater cost later. Robert Wilbur Coupeville

CONTINUED FROM A1 could fly is 118, which will be determined only by the EIS. This scenario could happen even if Congress had not funded any new Growlers this year. Under the scenario where 118 aircraft are active at NAS Whidbey, the remaining 22 aircraft that Congress has purchased would be split between a Navy base in Japan, testing facilities and spares at NAS Whidbey to replace lost or damaged aircraft or those undergoing extended maintenance. Let me reiterate that NAS Whidbey will not fly any more Growlers than approved in the EIS, which is open for public comment until Jan. 9. I encourage you to participate in the process, and you can submit comments online at www.whidbeyeis.com/Comment.aspx Congress’ decision to buy five more Growlers indicates the planes’ importance to our national defense strategy in this age of new technology. I know the significance of the Growlers is more personal for us in the Puget Sound, where the aircraft make their home, which is why I want to make sure people understand the math behind the number of aircraft NAS Whidbey will fly. I am committed to working with community members and local leaders to address the impact of noise on local communities while preserving NAS Whidbey’s role as one of the country’s pre-eminent Navy bases that keeps our country safe and protects our interests worldwide.

OBITUARIES
Carter
Treva L. Carter
Treva L. Carter, 96, of Oak Harbor, Wash., ended her earthly journey in the company of family and dear friends Nov. 29, 2014. Treva Lois Shultz was born Sept. 12, 1918, in Wabash, Ind., to parents Clarence F. and Ruth E. Shultz. Her parents were farmers, as were most of those in the community where she spent her youth. Treva’s passions were art and fashion, with no inclination toward life on a farm. And so, upon graduation from high school in 1936, she departed Indiana for the West Coast, accompanied by her mother, to pursue her dreams. Thus began an incredible life’s journey, starting with a cross-country train trip to San Diego, where she resided with an uncle and worked for a French dressmaker. Under strict orders not to fraternize with sailors, she happened one evening to meet a sailor, and, as she described him, he was the most handsome
man she had ever seen. Treva married Lester D. “Nick” Carter Oct. 7, 1942, during the dark days of World War II. Nick was a carrier sailor, and Treva soon found herself in the perennial role of a sailor’s wife, awaiting his return home from combat in the Pacific. The Carters’ post-war assignments took the family, which soon included children Christine and James, to duty stations around the world, including Kwajalein Island in the Pacific, and ultimately to Whidbey Island, where they lived on Ebey’s Prairie and then in Oak Harbor. Along the way, Treva obtained a degree in art and costume design from the University of San Diego, and she was well known as a most talented and prolific artist. Treva was, first and foremost, the ideal Navy wife, and Nick was truly her soul mate. “NickandTreva” was, in fact, one word. She was a loving mother to Christine and James and adored her grandchildren. In a word, Treva Carter was elegant — in appearance, in heart and soul, and in spirit. And she defined the word gracious. To all who were privileged to know her, she was a true and welcoming friend, an energetic worker for the causes in which she believed, and she was strongly anchored by her faith. Her radiant smile set the tone for any gathering, and made countless friends and family members instantly welcome in her home. Treva was, at vari-

ous times over the years, an active member of the Oak Harbor First United Methodist Church, the Navy League of the United States, the Military Officers Association of America, the NAS Whidbey Island Officers Wives Club, the A-3 Skywarrior Association and the Friends of the Library. Always active and involved in her community, she is credited with creating the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, an event which celebrated its 50th anniversary this past summer. Treva was preceded in death by her parents; by her brothers, Ralph and Jack; by her beloved husband of 65 years, Nick; and by her son, James. She is survived by daughter Christine Broder, granddaughter Julie Broder and grandson Gregory, of Shelbyville, Ken.; by granddaughter Jayme Carter, of Bellingham; and granddaughter Ivy Carter and grandson Jak Carter, of Magdalena, N.M. She is also survived by the countless persons whose lives she touched on her journey and who were privileged to call her friend. A service celebrating Treva’s life will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, at the Oak Harbor First United Methodist Church, with Pastor Dave Johnson officiating. A reception will follow the service, in Centennial Hall at the church. Arrangements are entrusted to Burley Funeral Chapel. The family suggests donations to the Nick and Treva Carter Scholarship Fund, in support of furthering education in mathematics and the arts. Donations may be made at any Whidbey Island Bank Branch.

Wolves begin season by whipping rival Falcons By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Season-opening games are generally sloppy, but Coupeville High School girls basketball coach David King was more than pleased with the quality of his team’s effort in a 47-23 romp over South Whidbey Tuesday, Dec. 2, in Langley. The Wolves received contributions throughout the lineup as eight of the nine players scored and all but one registered an assist. The greatest contribution came from Makana Stone, who finished with 17 points, 18 rebounds, three steals, three assists and two blocks. Coupeville did turn the ball over on its first two possessions, but from that point it was smooth sailing. With five players scoring in each of the first two periods, the Wolves built leads of 12-4 and 23-10. A steal by Hailey Hammer and an assist from Stone got things rolling in the first quarter. In the second period, Julia Myers dropped in two jumpers and the Coupeville defense “started to get more active,” according to King, as the Wolves pulled away. Behind nine points from Stone,
most coming off offensive rebounds, Coupeville buried the Falcons in the third quarter, leading 40-14 heading into the final period. “We have talked as a team leading up to last night about being patient on offense and moving the ball,” King said. “I told the players after the game, this is probably the most patient team I have coached in a game offensively. We stayed spread, moved the ball and stayed within our strengths. By doing this we had many open shots.” King also like his defense: “(It) is still our strong suit, and overall we didn’t disappoint.” King praised the play of his bench ---- Monica Vidoni, Wynter Thorne, McKenzie Bailey and Mia Littlejohn ---- and its ability to “pick up where the starters left off.” Myers followed Stone in scoring, ending with eight points; Vidoni had five points, three rebounds and a block; Maddi Strasburg two points and three assists; Kacie Kiel four points; Hammer four points, three rebounds and two assists; Thorne four points, three rebounds and two assists; and Bailey two assists.

PREP ROUNDUP
Wildcat boys lose basketball opener Edmonds-Woodway spoiled new Oak Harbor coach John Weston’s debut as the Warriors defeated the host Wildcats 64-43 in boys basketball Tuesday, Dec. 2. The teams, showing first-game jitters, played an unsteady first quarter as the Warriors took an 8-7 lead. Behind four points from Dyllan Harris and a three ball by Zach Jones, Oak Harbor went up 16-12 midway through the second period. Then EdmondsWoodway rattled off a 14-0 run and led 26-18 at the break. The Warriors scored the first two hoops of the second half to go up 30-18, then Oak Harbor cut the lead to four, 31-27, thanks to seven points from Harris. E-W answered with eight straight points and the Wildcats never trimmed the gap to less than 10 the rest of the way. Harris led all scorers with 21 points. Jones finished with eight; Ben Fikse and Jake Sturdevant four each; and Diangelo McKinney, Savion Hollins-Passmore and Sean Erskine two apiece. Weston said turning the

The Coupeville boys basketball team was outscored by 25 points at the foul line, and that was the difference in a 74-47 loss at South Whidbey Tuesday, Dec. 2. The game followed a similar pattern as the Wolves’ loss the previous evening to Meridian. Coupeville played even until midway through the second period, then the wheels fell off. Turnovers and poor shooting contributed again, but the discrepancy at the free-throw line was the killer. The Falcons hit 29 of 37 free throws while the Wolves made only four of 11. Coupeville committed 25 fouls and lost three players to disqualification. South Whidbey fouled 14 times. The Falcons led 14-13 after the first period, then Coupeville zipped to a 24-19 lead. Like Monday’s game, the Wolves suffered through a rough patch in the second half of the second quarter. South Whidbey finished the half on a 20-2 run and then continued to build upon the cushion in the
steals, 14 assists and 15 turnovers. Coupeville hosts Bellevue Christian at 12:15 Saturday, Dec. 6.
third quarter. Aaron Curtin had a solid game for Coupeville, registering 15 points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists. Wiley Hesselgrave and Joel Walstad each scored seven points; C.J. Smith added six; Gabe Wynn and Risen Johnson had four each; and Aaron Trumbull and Ryan Griggs tallied two apiece. Coupeville (0-2) plays Bellevue Christian (0-0) at 2 p.m. at home Saturday.
Wildcat girls fall in opening game Mariner stopped the visiting Oak Harbor girls basketball team 54-32 in the season opener Wednesday, Dec. 3. Oak Harbor shot down its chances of winning by shooting poorly at the freethrow line, connecting on just five of 24 foul shots. Committing 38 turnovers also didn’t help the Wildcats’ cause. The game started well for the Wildcats. They scored 15 points in the first quarter to Mariner’s 17 but managed only single-digit scoring in each of the other three periods. Julie Jansen led Oak Harbor with seven points, while Bryn Langrock and Jinai Guzman added six each, ac-
cording to coach Jon Atkins. Oak Harbor goes to Squalicum at 7:15 Monday, Dec. 8.
Wildcat wrestlers split 1st matches The Oak Harbor wrestling team opened the season by splitting a pair of matches at Stanwood High School Thursday, Dec. 4. The Wildcats dumped Lynnwood 60-18 and lost to Shorewood 44-34. “We had a lot of new varsity wrestlers competing, and even some freshmen in the lineup,” coach Peter Esvelt said. “Freshman Michael Lym had a great night, winning both of his first varsity matches. Senior Christian Bertram wrestled great, and junior Dimond Piper won both of his matches by pins to start off his Oak Harbor wrestling career.” Other double winners were Mark Johnston, Garrett Stahl and Jeremy Vester. Five Wildcats won once, all against Lynnwood: Nick Dugin, Camron Robards, Jackson Constant, Isabel Garcia and Robert Pennington. Oak Harbor will join 16 other schools at the Edmonds Invitational at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

Passing this legislation before the end of the year is “vital,” according to the House Armed Services Committee Democrats summary, and “represents broad, bipartisan consensus about America’s national security goals, resources and policies.” The Navy is in the process of conducting an Environmental Impact Study on the Growlers, the target of criticism by some Whidbey Island residents over its noise levels.

He informally asked the council for permission to continue on the board for the vote on the contract. Some council members nodded in agreement, but it wasn’t official. Island Transit’s attorney said Dudley was still the representative. Audience members urged the council to keep Dudley on the board, saying he has done a lot of research and was instrumental in replacing the director.

The EIS is examining four alternatives for squadron composition based on an increase of anywhere from 13 to 36 additional Growlers. It was unclear Friday how the legislation, if passed, would impact the EIS. Ted Brown, a public affairs officer for U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said he couldn’t speculate on any EIS change until the legislation becomes law. “There’s still plenty of time to develop alternatives,” Brown said. There are 82 Growlers actively flying at NAS Whidbey, and 12 are used as backup if an active plane is damaged, according to Larsen’s office. The Navy could station as many as 118

Dudley, who faces reelection next year, has never been popular with the majority of the council. The council’s decision is not in the best interest of the city or Island Transit, he said. “I’ve been the only one who’s been passionate about righting the ship,” he said. “I’ve done more in twoand-a-half months than some of the board members have done in 11 years.”

Big year for Deception Pass State Park State’s most popular park draws 2.7 million visitors, major revenue By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
The magic of Deception Pass State Park was on display on a sunny late afternoon this week and was captured on the face of 4-year-old Haylee Fortinberry. It didn’t seem too cold to comb the beach for treasures. Nor did it seem too cold for a young child to entertain other ideas. “Tomorrow, I’m going to swim,” she told her aunt and grandmother. Another picturesque afternoon so late in the year seemed a fitting backdrop to how 2014 is shaping up at Deception Pass State Park. Park manager Jack Hartt called 2014 possibly the most profitable in park history and said that 2.7 million guests so far this year cements Deception Pass’ status again as the state’s most-visited state park. “This is a very busy park,” Hartt said. Hartt gave his State of the Park presentation during an open house hosted by the Deception Pass Park Foundation at the nearby Walla Walla University Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory Wednesday night. The annual address provided financial status, trends and park project updates as well as highlights from the year. The night also featured talks by members of the Deception Pass Park Foundation, a nonprofit group that has raised money to support educational and interpretive programs in the

They also gave updates about projects and shared their redefined mission to focus more on education opportunities at the park in the future. “We’re hoping to be more education-oriented,” said Liz Merriman, president of the foundation’s seven-member board, “and we need volunteers to help us.” Hartt called 2014 “a very good year,” with the park generating about $2 million in revenue or a net profit of about $700,000. He said the revenue total might be the best ever at the park for a single year, pointing to campsite fees as the major driver with an all-time high of 125,000 campers in 2014. The warm weather this summer was likely the underlying cause, he said. “I can only say this is

A family combs the beach on the west side of Deception Pass State Park this week. The park has had one of its best years in 2014. the best in my 11 years,” said Hartt, adding that 70 campsites have been added since he came to the park. “I am confident it is the best ever, but I cannot say that for certainty as I have not seen previous years’ data. However, because of the Discover Pass and increased campsite fees and increased campsites available, I would be surprised if this has ever been surpassed.” The financial success at Deception Pass trickles down to help support the entire state parks system. The park’s costs, including salaries for 10 full-time staff members, a dozen seasonal employees, utilities, repairs
and more, amounted to about $1.3 million. Hartt said about $65,000 went to pay the “garbage bill” alone. The park’s 2.7 million visitors in 2014 is a steep increase compared to 1.7 million guests in 2010, a year before the Discover Pass user fee was implemented. Although Deception Pass State Park’s popularity has risen, its full-time staff is down from 16 in 2008. “Two-point-seven million people, like us, care about this place and are really glad it’s here,” Hartt said. “There is no way our budget or our staff can take care of it, but I know together we can.”
Hartt pointed to several improvements inside the park from the shoreline restoration at Cornet Bay, building repairs and new interpretive signage. The Deception Pass Park Foundation played a role in many improvements and is seeking more volunteers to continue its supporting role. Brian Shelly, a foundation board member, gave an update on the amphitheater project, saying that building a stage is the next phase of the project and the goal is for it to be finished by the summer of 2016. The park also wants to offer more events during non-summer months to draw
visitors. Hartt said an event happened almost every weekend at the park during the summer, including free outdoor concerts. The foundation’s new mission statement points to “resource protection through education.” The future vision is to create what Merriman called the “Deception Pass Intitute,” placing more focus in the park on learning. n To learn more about the Deception Pass Park Foundation or inquire about volunteering, go to the website at www.deceptionpass foundation.org
Wreath project keeps Garden Club on its toes By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Linda O’Connell sorts through greens to create a wreath.
Sore fingers and chilly toes aside, eight ladies appeared to be enjoying themselves bundled up inside a spacious garage in North Whidbey. They gathered at the home of Gloria and Roger Morse this week to fulfill their role in what has become a long Oak Harbor Garden Club tradition — making holiday wreaths. By week’s end, they were hoping to produce their goal of 400 wreaths, which they sell for $20 apiece. The money
raised goes toward beautification projects around Oak Harbor. “We have a lot of fun,” said René Callies, organizer of the wreath-making project. “It’s a great time to get to know the members one-on-one.” Callies called the project her passion but joked that she wasn’t sure if it was anybody else’s, since it involves standing in the cold and constantly clipping branches. “Her passion bleeds into us,” Deb Fischer said. The club, in its 91st year, has made
wreaths the first week of December as far back as anyone can remember. The wreaths don’t last long. Repeat customers put in orders in advance. Members began delivering wreaths Friday and will continue through the weekend with any unsold wreaths landing at a member’s Oak Harbor home for pickup. To order a wreath, or get on a list for next year, call 360-675-5723. The wreaths are a product of about four days of collecting materials and at least five days of creation.

CANCER
There is a lot of action on the horizon. You may be sorely tempted to buy something quite expensive. Your Christmas gifts are likely to exceed the budget that you had set for yourself.
LEO
You take some time to reflect deeply. Moreover, it would not be surprising if you feel the need to cultivate a spirituality that is more in accordance with your beliefs.
VIRGO
If you need to be in close contact with a lot of people, don’t forget to wash your hands frequently so you won’t catch any germs. Your immune system is rather fragile.
LIBRA
Time is a scarce commodity and so you have to choose carefully between obligation and pleasure. The important thing is to bring more balance into the different areas of your life.
SCORPIO
Travel plans are taking shape on the horizon. Even though your departure is only in a few months, you begin to prepare. Perhaps you need to renew your passport?
SAGITTARIUS
Some small annoyances are to be expected. You can no longer ignore all the things you’ve put off doing. You feel like celebrating once these jobs are completed.
CAPRICORN
It wouldn’t be surprising if you are able to clinch a contract that will transform your life. Your perseverance allows you to attain great heights, even on a personal level.
AQUARIUS
There is loads of work and lots of details that take forever to settle. Having a break would be beneficial for you. All you need to do is take some time to appreciate the present moment.
PISCES
You find yourself in the spotlight. You’re probably the only person able to accomplish a particular task, and you’ll be entitled to all the gratitude that is offered to you.

LAWSUIT CONTINUED FROM A1 The plaintiffs named in the suit are Jonathan Deegan, who said in court documents he purchased his Coupeville home through RE/MAX in 2006, and Alice O’Grady, who said she purchased her Coupeville home through Windermere in 2011. Neither could be reached for comment by press time. “I have not seen the complaint yet, so I cannot comment on the specifics of this case, but I am aware that some off-island and out-of-state attorneys have been urging homeowners to sue Realtors, claiming they were not told about aircraft noise when they bought their
homes,” said Eric Mitten, spokesman for Windermere in Oak Harbor and Coupeville, in an emailed statement Friday. “In our company, we make sure prospective buyers are aware of the airplane noise. We talk about the airplane noise. We also use standard written disclosure forms printed by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, which provides us with the forms most Realtors use in residential real estate transactions in the state. “I’m astonished that anyone who has spent any time on Whidbey Island would say they were not aware of the noise,” Mitten said. Terri Neilon, owner of RE/MAX Acorn Properties, said she is afraid “the litigation could be divisive and
HUSH HOUSE CONTINUED FROM A1 are pressing the Navy to consider funding a hush house, a hanger designed to mask on-ground engine noise. “Community members from Whidbey Island and the San Juan Islands have shared with me their concerns about the noise from the Growlers at NAS Whidbey,” said Rep. Rick Larsen in a joint statement with Sen. Patty Murray Wednesday. “Senator Murray and I
have listened and are asking the Navy to help out by building a hush house, which would muffle engine noise from testing and maintenance on the ground and direct it away from communities.” Spraitzar said she’s pressed legislators and Navy leadership for a hush house for years. The Navy is conducting an Environmental Impact Statement on the
help fuel efforts by those who want NAS Whidbey severely cut back or closed.” “We care about our clients and certainly make sure they are aware of the noise,” Neilon said. “We also tell clients to do their own due diligence — check it out, talk to others and go to the property and listen to the planes flying overhead. Planes from NAS Whidbey are very effective at making people aware of their presence.” Island County Realtors updated their version of Form 22W in January through the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. A long-used, one-paragraph noise disclosure was deemed incomplete by Island County Planning Director David Wechner, who issued a memo
EA-18G Growlers and are gathering public comment through Jan. 9. “I’ve put that down on in every EIS comment I’ve written,” said Spraitzar, a founding member of Concerned Island Citizens. “That’s one thing that would really help a lot on the north end.” Spraitzar said some of her neighbors who live closer to base are in a “horrible situation.” “When they do their runups, which they do overnight, they’re very loud and it goes for a long period of time,” Spraitzar said.

that spurred the change. In their lawsuit, both Deegan and Grady said they received only the “inadequate Form 22W” at the time they purchased their homes. The lawsuit was filed by the Seattle firm of Terrell, Marshall, Daudt & Willie, which sent a letter in May seeking possible plaintiffs. While only two people are named, the suit states that the class will be “in the hundreds or thousands.” A contention of the litigation is that, even though the noise disclosure was updated to mirror Island County code, Realtors are allegedly still not providing buyers with the county’s map of the impacted areas. The county’s Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance, which contains the
“They’re having a hard time here.” Larsen was criticized by some for not being responsive to anti-noise constituents’ complaints about Navy jet noise. In October, Larsen took heat at a town meeting on Lopez Island from residents who called the jet noise “degrading, humiliating and disempowering,” according to the newspaper Journal of the San Juan Islands. Hush houses have been
required language, also states that the impacted areas are identified on the “attached map.” In a rough drawing, the county’s map shows all of Whidbey Island north of Lake Hancock as the “impacted areas.” It also includes areas surrounding the Camano and South Whidbey air parks. Failure to include both the map and the language “about the magnitude and timing of military flight operations as part of pre-sale notices” in real estate transactions is “unfair” and “offends public policy,” the attorneys said in their lawsuit. The lawyers are asking a judge to approve their class action status, damages, a modification of the disclosure forms, attorneys fees and any other relief deemed proper.
used successfully at other bases to mitigate jet testing noise, such as at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia, according to Mike Welding, NAS Whidbey public affairs officer. Impacts of constructing a hush house, and its noise dampening potential, will be examined in the EIS, according to Lisa Padgett, U.S. Fleet Forces Command project manager for the study. However, the EIS will simply inform a future deci-
sion that would be made and funded on a facilities level, Padgett said. Considering a hush house was always on the Navy’s radar but will be given “renewed attention” due to the requests from legislators and the public, said Padgett. “Construction of this facility is a reasonable step to minimize the impact that planes from NAS Whidbey have on the surrounding area,” Murray said.
