Council appears ‘all in’ to run again
Union asking OH mayor to get rid of police captain
By JESSIE STENSLAND
The executive board for the Oak Harbor Police Department Association presented the mayor with a letter Tuesday asking him to remove Capt. Teri Gardner from her post. “The Association is lacking faith within the leadership and confidence of Captain Gardner to make fair, impartial and honest decisions, real or perceived, concerning the line officers and the department,” the letter states. Mayor Scott Dudley said he and the city administrator met with the union’s executive board Tuesday and listened to their concerns. But, he said, his confidence in Gardner has not been shaken. He said he still fully supports her and Chief Ed Green and doesn’t plan to make any changes. The members of the union passed a no-confidence vote against Capt. Teri Gardner earlier this month. Minutes from the meeting show that 16 members voted in favor of the no-confidence vote against of Gardner, 10 voted against it and two abstained. A no-confidence vote was also taken in regard to Chief Ed Green. It failed to pass with 14 people voting against it, 11 voting for it and three abstentions.

It looks like all of the Oak Harbor City Council members whose terms expire this year will seek reelection. At the same time, Councilman Bob Severns is going full-speed ahead in his campaign to unseat Mayor Scott Dudley. Councilwoman Beth Munns announced this week that she will seek reelection. She said her campaign will focus on safety and future investment, noting that the sewage treatment plant is a major investment that “will benefit our city for decades to come.” In her announcement, she noted that she is a 30-year resident of Oak Harbor with a long history of supporting the Navy and those in need. She serves on the boards of Island Thrift and the Help House, is a key organizer of the annual Military Appreciation Picnic and past president of United Way of Island County and the Navy League. As a councilwoman, Munns said she works to build consensus into action and believes that the city isn’t a place for personal agendas. “We must firmly decide the best direction and move forward,” she said. “Inaction is costly. I want to improve our community.” Councilwoman Tara Hizon hasn’t formally announcement, but she said she does plan to seek reelection barring any unforeseen circumstances. It’s a job she said she finds very rewarding. “It’s so gratifying to be able to SEE CITY, A15

Island County leaders are banding together to pressure state leaders for a fair share of marijuana sale tax revenue. The move is part of a larger protest from law enforcement and county leaders from around the state tired of the state and federal government rolling out new requirements that counties must fund, implement and enforce. “Counties are agents of the state,” said

Whidbey activist perishes in fire By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A house fire earlier this week claimed the life of activist, pet rescue advocate and photographer Wendy Campbell Strang DeWinter. While DeWinter had disagreements personally and politically, those who knew her described her as passionate, giving and obstinately tenacious. “Wendy was an awesome activist,” said her friend Becky Spraitzar. “This is a tragedy. We’ve lost a really good person.” DeWinter was not afraid to stand up for her beliefs. When a few gun-toting residents showed up at an Oak Harbor council meeting in 2013 to convince leaders to allow guns in parks, DeWinter was one of the few standing up to advocate for gun control. DeWinter was also known for holding signs in public places protesting Navy jet noise, frequently asking pointed questions of elected officials and often giving speeches at government meetings. “She was fearless,” Spraitzar said. She also made frequent

DeWinter calls to law enforcement about her neighbors and had ongoing disagreements with them about the state of her property and the number of pets she housed as rescues. Sheriff Mark Brown said that, while her neighbors did frequently complain about her “eccentric” lifestyle, he said she seemed to like her privacy and was never problematic for deputies. “I liked her,” Brown said. “She asked a lot of good questions.” Spraitzar said she got to know DeWinter while working on the campaign for former District 2 commissioner Angie Homola. Homola described DeWinter as “a rare and gifted human being.” “She overcame adversity with a smile and contagious laughter, finding good even in the most challenging of
circumstances,” Homola said. “Because she had an artistic capacity for detail, she was able to spearhead and organize community events that would normally take several people to accomplish. Her dedication to human kind, animals, and civic duty went above and beyond the norm.” Her daughter, Claire Knutson, a Sedro-Woolley resident, described her mother as “passionate” and strong in her ability to overcome her disability. DeWinter, who had polio as a young child, had little use of one arm and relied on her daughter for assistance with some tasks while Knutson was growing up. Even so, Knutson also said that her mother “dedicated all her time to me” when she was a child. DeWinter taught her daughter that a disability wouldn’t hold her back. “She showed me you can do it,” Knutson said. “Not everything, but you can do a lot.” Marshall Goldberg, former chairman of the Island County Democrats, said he knew DeWinter as an active member of the party, who also assisted in a variety of issue-specific movements as well. These included rallying against Citizens United legislation and supporting single-payer health insurance.

“She was smart, caring, persistent and very conscientious,” Goldberg said. “What made her special is that she lived with at least one disability.” And in addition to her physical restrains, Goldberg said the 70-yearold had some trouble forming sentences and expressing herself at times. “Despite all that, she would deliver some of the most concise and clear messages,” Goldberg said of her public speaking. “I was always impressed with her ability to communicate in that venue. When she stood at the podium, she commanded respect.” Preliminary findings have determined that DeWinter was the victim of a Tuesday morning fire at a home, identified as DeWinter’s, in the Dugualla Bay neighborhood on North Whidbey. An autopsy and dental record check were expected be conducted Friday to confirm the identity. Investigators say they believe the fire was an accident. Another person staying on the property sustained minor burns, was taken to Whidbey General Hospital for treatment and released. “I still can’t get over it,” said friend and neighbor Bonnie Newkirk. “It’s pretty sad. I really will miss her. She was a dynamic person.”

Student chefs headed to Disneyland for nationals By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff reporter
Oak Harbor High School’s state championship culinary arts team is packing its pots and pans and heading to nationals this weekend. The team of five students will compete against the best in the country at the National ProStart Invitational at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, Calif. “We have a very good chance of winning,” said Scott Fraser, owner of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway and mentor to the Oak Harbor students. The students have spent two or three hours a day practicing their skills in preparation, Fraser said. “They are definitely a team,” he said. “It’s taken hard work and dedication to get to this point.” The students are Dylan Crogan, Angela Cueto, Lance Garon, Patrick Punch and Patrick Salgado. All are seniors at Oak Harbor High School enrolled in a culinary arts program led by teacher and chef Mary Arthur.
The students are scheduled to compete Monday. They’ll be judged on knife skills and preparation, including how they’ve packaged and transported all of their supplies. The team brings everything with them on the plane. They’ll have one hour to cook a three-course meal using nothing but two butane burners set up on folding tables. No running water, no refrigerators and no fancy stoves. The Pacific-Rim-inspired menu is an appetizer of Korean pork bone soup containing shrimp noodles and a slow poached egg; a main entree featuring lamb loin encrusted with pistachio and cranberry sausage served with oxtail barley and creamed stinging nettles; and a flocked white chocolate peanut butter bar with a banana cream sauce and brulee pearls. Stinging nettles, by the way, are tastier than one might expect. Just don’t eat them raw. “As soon as you cook them they have a great taste

Emblem Club continues to help charitable causes By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
It’s not easy being at the top. For Dale Sandri, wearing the title of president with the Oak Harbor Emblem Club means at times he’ll wear different hats. Club members have found that Sandri’s quite the cook, is mechanically inclined and holds the sort of dependable leadership and social qualities that make him a natural in charge of bingo night at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge every Monday night. His biggest responsibility, however, is ensuring the club’s success and properly
representing its 104 members at state and national meetings. This is all new to Sandri, who was installed into his new role in March, and he knows he needn’t worry about carrying too much of the weight of the club on his shoulders. “I have a lot of mothers and sisters here,” said Sandri, one of only five male members in the Oak Harbor club. “They keep me in line and tell me what I’m doing wrong and make sure I’m dressed properly.” As the first male president in the Oak Harbor club’s 46-year history, Sandri is

Back row from left: Diana Tiegs, Harriet Dailey, Ginny Duquette, Ruby Dunn, NaDeane Jensen, Geri Bintliff, Carolyn O’Dell and Jan Ellis. Front Row: Joanne Hartley, Jane Hoffman, Mary Fran Wendling, Rosemary Morrison, Lorraine Hulett, President Dale Sandri, Barbara Luehr, Ena Kay Blattman, Mira Thomas, Kitty Castillo and Betty Leitch. apparently off to a good start. “He’s our treasure,” Harriet Dailey said. A car mechanic by day at Jack’s Auto Repair, Sandri is the new face of a club that’s been doing its part to serve the needs of many causes around the community for five decades. Performing charitable acts and deeds in communities is the foundation of the Oak Harbor Emblem Club No. 450, which is a branch of the Supreme Emblem Club of the United States and one of 17 clubs in Washington state. In doing so, the organization bears “true allegiance to the Constitution and the flag of the United States,” as indicated on its website, hence, the name. Emblem Club roots date back nearly a century, and the club has evolved into its own separate identity from
the days when it was largely considered the female counterpart to male-dominated Elks clubs. “It used to be if your husband became an Elk, you became an Emblem,” said Betty Leitch, former president of the Oak Harbor Emblem Club. The Oak Harbor Emblems have dug deep into community causes over the years, offering assistance to programs related to literacy, eye care, drug awareness and many others. The club holds roughly eight fundraisers per year so it can offer help and also provides $1,000 scholarships each year to a handful of graduating seniors from Whidbey Island high schools. This year, five such scholarships were given out. “This is my passion,” said NaDeane Jensen, a past club
president who continues as an officer. “We’ve gotten wonderful responses from students in what they’ve done with their lives,” Dailey said. Bingo is a weekly fundraising event on Monday nights at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge, which is the site of most Emblem Club functions. The group also holds a fashion show in May and holiday bazaar in November, among other fundraisers. Some of the charities and causes the Oak Harbor Emblems have helped include the North Whidbey Help House, Medical Safety Net, Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, WAIF and Marjie’s House, which provides emergency and transitional housing for homeless women and their children.
“I saw what wonderful things they were doing,” said Dailey, who joined the club seven years ago. “I’ve belonged to a lot of different groups in my day,” Leitch said. “This is the first one where I felt like it was family. They just took you and accepted you.” “Helping people is my passion,” Carolyn O’Dell said. Sandri became an Elks Club member 17 years ago and couldn’t help but notice and admire the activities and efforts of the Emblem Club, so he decided to join them five years ago. “I found out that if you help the Emblem Club with their functions, they’ll be right there to help you out,” said Sandri, who maintains dual membership with both clubs. “They’re a fun group of ladies to hang out with.”

By KATE DANIEL Staff reporter
The fact that a convicted murderer is in the family isn’t exactly what Langley residents Graham and Jackie Johnson hoped to discover when they began researching a bit of family history. Yet, that’s just what they found. Jackie’s great-great grandmother, Elizabeth Van Valkenburgh, is “very famous” in Fulton County, N.Y., for being the only woman hanged for murder in the state. Adding to her notoriety was that the 34-year-old mother of two was executed in 1846 while sitting in her rocking chair, due to being obese and having suffered a broken leg from falling through a barn floor while hiding from authorities. The Johnsons had been on a quest to find Jackie Johnson’s great-grandfather’s parents, to “fill the gap in her family history,” according to Graham Johnson. Although the Johnsons’ son had uncovered some family history books, little was noted about the children’s mother and father — the record said simply that they were orphaned at a young age. It failed to note that their mother had confessed that she had poisoned their father and her previous husband with arsenic and killed them. The Johnsons finally uncovered the unique bit of family history on a trip to New England. “The look on her face was worth the trip,” Graham Johnson said with a laugh, recalling the moment his late wife read the criminal record of her great-greatgrandmother. “She loved to tell the story,” he said. Mary Sue Kriefall, presi-
dent of the Genealogical Society of South Whidbey Island, said that society members like Graham Johnson often uncover genealogical facts they never would have surmised from handed-down family trees, although, she noted, the Johnsons have been the only members to date to uncover a historical skeleton in the closet. The society’s objective, according to Kriefall, is education and exploration of genealogy both within the United States and internationally. Its programs, which are free and open to the public, incorporate discussions and talks from genealogy experts. When Kriefall began researching her own heritage, her mother was still alive to advise Kriefall as she went about constructing her own family tree. After listing her cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, Kriefall said she thought she was done. However, she said, she realized she was far from finished. There were facts to check and details to uncover. She explained that, for her, finding basic names and dates was not the most interesting part. It was discovering the culture and lifestyles of her ancestors that prompted Kriefall to keep looking. “It becomes fascinating to put yourself in your ancestor’s shoes,” she said, explaining that for her allGerman ancestors, it must have been “quite a (culture) shock” coming from Germany to America as early as the 1600s. Not all information is available online, explained Kriefall, citing the fact that prior to the Internet era, facts and family trees were copied down in books or duplicated from one family member’s
rendition of the family tree to another. “You can’t just take information from someone else’s family tree,” Kriefall explained. “You pretty much have to check it out yourself if you don’t want to go down the wrong branch. … Genealogy is a lot of detective work,” Kriefall said. “It’s what makes it work, but it’s also what makes it fun because when you get a little kernel that supports your theory or sends you down the right path then you feel like you’ve really accomplished something.” Due in part to widespread illiteracy, official records can also contain errors, something Kriefall came to recognize when she obtained her grandmother Christina’s birth certificate, which listed Christina as Christian, a male child. Although Kriefall and her mother were able to have the record amended after verifying Christina’s information with a marriage certificate and her mother’s recollection, Kriefall said this type of mistake is common. Death certificates can be
particularly inaccurate, she added. “Many official records contain errors, so using a single source is not enough,” she said. In addition to historical facts, family secrets and cultural knowledge, Kriefall said the exploration of ancestry can lend a better understanding of what makes individuals who they are in terms of personality and features. “I think there is a lot of nature that gets passed down, personally,” she said. “And I think that’s why America is so can-do. Our ancestors had to be can-do in order to get over here.” According to Graham Johnson, the help he received from the society members allowed him to discover his own family heritage in Sweden and lent him a better understanding of himself in the process. “To find out who you are today, you really need to reflect back on your ancestors, those who preceded you,” he said, explaining that he can now trace his values
and traits back to the farm of his ancestors in Sweden and the church at which they were married nearly 400 years ago. Meetings of the Genealogical Society of South Whidbey Island take place at 1 p.m. on the second Monday of the month from September through June at the Trinity Lutheran Church Community Building. The society is composed of approximately 100 computer literate members from Clinton to Oak Harbor whose levels of expertise range from beginning to advanced. Membership is $15 a year and pays for the society’s overhead costs and affords privileges such as subscription to the society newsletter and access to one of the interest groups: Legacy Software, Reunion Software, German Research, New York and New England Research and a Writers Group. n To learn more about the society, genealogy and membership, visit www.gsswi.org

Like with email or text, it’s easy to reach the wrong conclusion PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
Email is immeasurably important to our personal and work lives. Text messaging is a great convenience. Many of us are convinced we can’t function without either. Not many of us want to find out if that’s actually true. I have a love/hate relationship with texting and email. They’re great tools, but both come with pitfalls, and we see them in our everyday lives. Emails and text messages can be counterproductive when they lack a full context. The recipient doesn’t have the benefit of looking you in the eye, seeing your facial expressions, reading your body language or hearing the tone of your voice. Those are qualities that make us human and determine whether people like us or hate us, believe or distrust us. Emailing and texting are an easy substitute for picking up the telephone or going directly to the person with whom we want to communicate. It’s easy to fire off a quick email asking for a particular report or request that copy paper be added to the purchasing list. The trick is not to not have it come across as rude or demanding. We’ve become a nation of electronic communicators, and it’s not allowing people to read who we truly are. And people like to read people. Every day each of us makes judgments about another person based on how they speak to us. Over the years, I’ve been told that I’m difficult to read. I’m what’s known in as an introvert — I am shy. I am not reactive, I’m not emotive. For those who don’t know what that means, it means that regardless of how I’m feeling, I’m rarely wearing those feelings on my sleeve. I favor a rational, thought-out approach. I think before I speak. I’m also a good listener and observer. But, like an email, being an introvert allows for some to interpret who I am and what I’m thinking, more often than not incorrectly. Shyness does not equate to being aloof, snobby or mean. My personality is probably part of why I’m a fairly decent writer. It is my way of sharing who I am and what I’m thinking. When I write a column like this, it’s very personal for me. I’m revealing to you a piece of who I am. Writing a column is one of the means I have for allowing people to get to know me better, offer a more tangible way of drawing conclusions about me. That way, you can like or dislike me because you know me, not because you don’t. n Keven R. Graves is executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey News Group.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Income tax
Don’t buy into tax unfairness argument Editor, This is in response to the letter to the editor titled “Urge legislators to fund critical services,” by Ms. Peterson and Mr. Goldberg. In their letter requesting tax changes to fund critical services, they state: “Our current state tax system is considered the most unfair in the nation, with taxes falling disproportionately on lower-income residents.” This probably stems from a January 2014 Time, Inc. article titled, “You’ll never guess which state has the most unfair taxes.” The use of the term “disproportionately” leads one to believe that the poor in this state are paying most of the taxes. Nothing could be further from the truth. When the school bonds and hospital bonds were voted in by those “lower income” residents who don’t own homes — whose property taxes are now pushing $400 a month? Not theirs, but mine are. Unless we are handing out $400,000 homes to the poor in this state, which I’m sure we’re not.
In fact, the more value your home has, the higher taxes you pay. How is that regressive? Just because the rich pay the same sales tax rate doesn’t mean the poor are paying the same amount of taxes. When a poor person is buying taxable goods, they are shopping at thrift stores or big box stores like Walmart, and the items they are buying are not high ticket items. I’m pretty sure if you go into Paul Allen’s home it isn’t decorated with thrift store or Walmart items. Clearly the rich pay much more in sales tax than the poor. In fact, if I was poor, I could live tax free in Oak Harbor. Since there is a higher vacancy rate in rentals in this town, landlords have a harder time passing on property tax increases to tenants. So I could rent an apartment for about $750, ride the free bus and buy only nontaxable food items and live virtually tax free. Not only that, taxpayers would be giving me food stamps and paying my medical and dental bills, which means I would be living in a tax negative. Try that if you’re middle class or rich. If the goal of the letter was to urge an income tax to the rich, I urge caution. It is a slippery slope that runs downhill to the rest of us. Pretty soon we will all be paying income tax. And the way it
works, no tax that you are currently paying will be lowered in any way. Unless income tax is going to replace property tax, the most regressive tax, a tax in which a government entity can seize your land and home that has been paid for because of the inability to pay taxes. So yes, you should contact your legislators and indicate that we are already being burdened with excessive taxes and don’t need income taxes added to the mix. And yes, this letter is being written on our national tax day, April 15. Thomas Kosloske Oak Harbor
Sewer plant
Agrees that it’s time to rethink project Editor, I don’t often agree with Mayor Scott Dudley, but I agree with him 100 percent on halting the sewage treatment plant. I too own a business here. If I give a bid, then get awarded the project, then start raising the bid, I would lose that project. We see it in Seattle all the time: tunnel project, the cost keeps going up, SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

QUESTION
OF THE WEEK:
What sort of things do you do that are good for the Earth? “Recycle, use reusable bags. I have a couple plants. I try to use reusable water bottles. Stuff that I can’t recycle here, I take to my daughter in Seattle.” Judith Gelfand Langley

and they want the people, who didn’t want the tunnel, to pay for it. Second, when they get the cost of the plant figured out, and close the RV park, there’s a property where the windmill mobile home park was that’s been sitting empty. There’s power and sewer already there. How about refurbish that area for an RV park until the plant is completed, then the campers can still have a place to come and enjoy our city. Randy McClaskey Oak Harbor
Go to City Council and voice your concerns Editor, In the next few months, Oak Harbor City Council will be making decisions about the new waste water treatment plant that will change how Windjammer Park and Pioneer Way look for the next 100 years. Anyone wanting to have a say in these
decisions needs to make their opinion known to their city council members right now. On Tuesday, April 21, there is a council meeting where anyone can speak and express their ideas and concerns to the city council. I encourage everyone to come out and make your voices known next Tuesday and at all the city council meetings for the next three months while the final designs of the new treatment plant are being decided. Decisions over these next few months will affect the city for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren and generations afterward. What will you tell your grandchildren when they ask, “Why did the city decide to build a giant, threestory sewage plant right next to the windmill in Windjammer Park?” Hopefully, your answer won’t be, “Because I didn’t speak up and try to stop it.” How about if we just move it over to the six-acre Freund property on Beeksma that’s been offered to the city,
where there is plenty of room and it won’t impact the park or taxpaying businesses on Pioneer Way? Make your voices heard. Hal Hovey Oak Harbor
Feedback
Not guilty does not equate to innocent Editor, Regarding your headline “Jury finds chief nurse innocent of assaulting mental health patient” April 15: A responsible journalist knows the difference between “innocent” and “not guilty,” which are legal terms. The headline could well have been “Gipson not guilty” and still fit. The article uses the terminology correctly. Shame on the headline writer. Double shame on the editor. P. Diane Schneider Clinton

She was a resident of Oak Harbor for 34 years. Christine earned her BS at Catholic University of America, her MA at George Washington University and her RN at Hartford Hospital School of Nursing.

Charline Wilson Charline Wilson passed away peacefully at home in Oak Harbor on April 9, 2015. That was just four days after her 86th birthday celebration on Easter Sunday with most of her children, granddaughters and great-grandchildren attending. Her health declined in recent months while she was surrounded by loving family members and dedicated caregivers. She was born in Chicago and spent her early years in Pelham Manor, N.Y. During her teens, Charline lived with her indulging mother and pampering grandmother in Ronan, Mont., and in Palm Springs and Pasadena, Calif. Charline filled her days with mostly adult companions by creating plays and acting
them out in neighborhood back yards. She also began her lifelong interest in religion — ending at Whidbey Presbyterian Church in Oak Harbor. In 1946, she graduated from high school in the Pasadena Rose Bowl and then attended Stanford University, where she wrapped up a MRS degree by successfully landing her husband, Doug Wilson, a fellow student and naval aviator veteran. Moving with Doug’s oil exploration career path, they raised four children — Bruce, Marc, Cheri and Kevin — in Bakersfield, Calif.; Roswell, N.M.; Midland, Texas; and Manhattan Beach and Corona del Mar, Calif. Though her studies were postponed in 1949 after beginning her family, in typical fashion, she persevered, and, in 1970, completed her bachelor’s degree in history from the University of California, Irvine and received a teaching credential. She loved being a teacher and librarian in Corona del Mar and later in Kauai. She and Doug retired to Kauai in 1978 and jointly started a successful real estate brokerage. She was involved in many organizations — hospice, Hawaiian cultural endeavors, church, cruise ship greeting, Outdoor Circle and condominium governance. She was at home with people of all cultures. They enjoyed traveling to unusual places such as remote South Pacific islands, Eastern Europe behind the iron curtain and northern Alaska. She said she would like to live permanently on a cruise ship. They moved to a cottage at Oak Harbor’s Regency on Whidbey after Charline’s 80th birthday celebration in the owner’s suite of a cruise ship circling the Hawaiian Islands. Charline is survived by Doug, beloved husband for 66 years, as well as by their four children, six granddaughters and four great-grandchildren. She was devoted to them as they are to her. Charline loved to throw parties and celebrate events throughout her life. She faced life with happiness and zest. She asked that any celebration of her life be a party — so we will have a remembrance party April 25 for Charline. Check www. whidbeymemorial.com for later details. Charline, we love you with all our hearts and will miss you forever.

Celebrating 100 years!
I am a recent June Bride at 84 years old, “Love comes at any age”. I met my husband while working together as Docents for the PBY (Naval Patrol Bomber) Museum at Whidbey Naval Airbase. We started dating last September and became really serious after I lost a son in January. Bruce was there to console and support me during that difficult time. Bruce and I stay active with our combined families, work, volunteering at church, and the senior center in Oak Harbor. We are busy planning trips to Austria, Spain, and taking a river boat cruise down the Danube. At this time I am rehabbing from my third knee surgery. This knee was originally done 15 years ago and has finally worn out. Dr. Stacia Smith, from Skagit Northwest Orthopedics did all of my surgeries. I have to say she is very good! We talked about rehab after this last surgery because of my age and the extent of hardware involved. I started my search and heard that the quality of care at Fidalgo is the best. I scheduled a visit before my surgery and after my tour with Kim, RN, I knew that I wanted to rehab at Fidalgo. The physical and occupational therapists were excellent. After a few days of therapy I felt like I was having a set back because the pain was increasing. Loni, Occupational Therapist, suggested that I switch from the cane to the walker for every other session. That suggestion gave me great relief and I did not need to increase my pain medication. All of the nursing staff during the day and night shifts were superb. I can’t name them all in fear I Viola Frasier was born in Friday Harbor, Washington on April 18th 1915.

Former Sonics, Seahawks executive to speak
Skagit Valley College students organize major islandwide event By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Rocco Strain can cover the 2.5 miles on his road bike from home to school in under seven minutes. “Six minutes, 47 seconds,” Strain said this week. “I did it yesterday.” Riding to Skagit Valley College’s Whidbey Island campus in Oak Harbor is Strain’s way of doing his part to help the environment and to emulate a healthy lifestyle. Setting a good example is important to Strain, the campus’ student government president. It’s also important to Kevin Adams, the student government treasurer. The two of them have teamed up to organize a major event at the Whidbey campus next week in celebration of Earth Day’s 45-year anniversary. From noon until 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 22, Skagit Valley’s Whidbey branch will be the center of Earth Day activity and discussion on the island. Experts in the environmental field, more than 15 community organizations, college and high school students and a handful of global sustainability sponsors will all come together as part of “Earth Day 2015,” a community-wide collaborative event. Not only will there be classroom sessions on topics such as hydrology, earth history, renewable energy, “The Sixth Extinction” nonfiction book, and ocean warming and acidification, there will be a keynote speaker and open community symposium led by a panel of six environmental experts. To keep things fun, there also will be yoga instruction, a poetry contest, giveaways and raffles and a free salad
lunch made up of 33 items. The school held a similar Earth Day event last year organized by former student government president Andrew Pearce. “We had really good discussions about global warming and climate change and the sensationalism of it,” Pearce said. “The climate is changing, that’s the truth of it. But it’s not as if we’re at the end of the world. We talked about how we can mitigate the actual damage it is going to cause.” The discussion continues this year with a particular focus on “The Sixth Extinction,” a book written by Elizabeth Kolbert published in 2014 that chronicles past mass extinctions of species on earth and demonstrates that the earth is in the middle of a sixth mass extinction — yet the first attributable to a single species. “We want to show trends of what is happening based off of scientific evidence and what our resource consumption looks like in the future,” Strain said. The six panelists who will lead the discussion are Angie Homola, former Island County commissioner; Kelly Kielwitz, founder of Whidbey Sun & Wind; Maribeth Crandell, environmental specialist with Island County Environmental Health; Steve Ericson, restoration ecologist and litigation coordinator for Whidbey Environmental Action Network; Steve Rothboeck, retired planner from the engineering division of the Public Works Department of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station; and Susie Richards, longtime Whidbey educator and coordinator of Whidbey ECO Network. Rothboeck will deliver the keynote address. “This year, it’s grown a lot,” said Pearce, a sopho-

College students Kevin Adams, top, and Rocco Strain are at the forefront of “Earth Day 2015,” a collaborative event scheduled for April 22 involving Skagit Valley College’s Whidbey Island campus and environmentally based organizations. The event will feature an eco-fair, which includes giveaways and raffles, a free salad lunch, classroom sessions and a symposium that focuses on environmental concerns relating to the earth. more at the college. “We were flooded with responses,” Adams said, referring to when he began looking for community organizations interested in attending. “Everyone has been willing and ready to help out and talk about things they work on all year. There are tons of different organizations that directly relate to Earth Day topics.” The event will start with the community eco-fair from noon to 3:45 p.m., followed by classroom sessions in Oak Hall 3:50-4:30 p.m., Rothboeck’s keynote speech at 4:35 p.m. and the community symposium in Hayes Hall 5:15-6:30 p.m. There is no cost for the event. “It’s a great way for people
to acknowledge that there are resources that need to be taken care of and that the earth is an important thing,” Strain said. The Oak Harbor Public Schools also will be participating in Earth Day activities in partnership with Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Some classes will be involved with worm composting and building solar houses while some schools will practice reducing electricity use for the day. The Whidbey Conservation District, City of Oak Harbor and newly formed Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society will be assisting Heather Fakkema-Hovde’s fifth-grade class at Hillcrest Elementary School with the
planting of five Garry oaks at the school. In relation to Arbor Day, which is April 24, the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society also has created a self-guided Garry oak walking tour around the city. Twentyone Garry oaks have been marked with lime-green ribbons and tags that share information about the trees. Tour maps may be found at the City of Oak Harbor, Oak Harbor Library and Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. In recognition of Earth Day, the Navy also is hosting several activities and cleanup efforts on the base, including a cleanup along the Seaplane Base’s Maylor Point Trail.
One of the Pacific Northwest’s most influential figures on the professional sports scene will be hosting a lunch and talk on Whidbey Island next week. Bob Whitsitt, former general manager of both the Seattle Super Sonics a n d Portland Trail Blazers of the WHITSITT N B A and ex team president of the Seattle Seahawks, will be speaking 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 24 at Useless Bay Country Club in Langley. The talk is the first formal fundraiser for the Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecture Series endowment created in honor of the former Oak Harbor teacher, civic leader, author, debate coach and founder of several organizations who died in 2013. Whitsitt is married to Jan Sundberg Whitsitt, Sundberg’s daughter. Approximately 75 people have signed up so far for the event, which will include behind-the-scenes stories told by Whitsitt, a question-ananswer session, and dessert and auction where people can bid for a round of golf with the former well-known sports executive. Tickets are $100. Monday is the deadline. To order a ticket, contact Marshall Goldberg at 360-6755888 or mfgold@comcast.net In honor of Trudy Sundberg, the speaking series was created with the plan to bring a prominent speaker to Whidbey Island once a year. Goldberg said a verbal agreement has been made with a significant speaker in high demand for 2016 to kick off the series but didn’t want to publicly reveal the name yet.

Wolves sparkle in winning week By JIM WALLER Sports editor
It was an impressive week for Coupeville High School athletics, packed with significant wins and outstanding individual performances. The tennis team eked a rare win over rival South Whidbey 3-2, and the track team continued to post some of the state’s best relay times among 1A girls. The soccer squad thumped Chimacum 11-1 behind four goals and four assists by Abraham Leyva Elenes in its first-ever Olympic League match. Freshman Katrina McGranahan ripped a twoout, three-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning to help the softball team escape with a wild 22-21 win over Chimacum. McGranahan also hit another bases-clearing double earlier in the game to help the Wolves build a 19-10 lead that disappeared over the final two innings. The baseball club defeated Concrete 10-2 Wednesday, then followed that up with an 8-0 league win over Chimacum. In the Chimacum game, pitcher C.J. Smith spun a three-hitter and struck out five. He also did not walk a batter (in fact, he never reached three balls on any one hitter) on the way to a 76-pitch complete game.
Tennis tops rivals At South Whidbey (6-2) Wednesday, the Wolves earned wins from Jacki Ginnings 6-4, 7-6 in first singles, Valen Trujillo 6-1, 6-1 in second singles and McKenzie Bailey and Jazmine Franklin 6-2, 6-4 in third doubles to avenge a loss to the Falcons earlier this season. Coupeville (1-0, 2-3) hosts Lakewood (0-5) at 3 p.m. Monday, April 20, and then meets Klahowya (0-1, 1-6) at

Oak Harbor shooting team takes 1st in club division at CMP Regionals By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Submitted photo
Colton Baumgardner, left, Marjorie Rouse and Austin McBride compete at the CMP Regionals earlier this month. They are members of S-Cubed, a local high school shooting team.
This is a gang that can shoot straight. A group of Oak Harbor High School shooters, sponsored by the Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association and coached by David Goodman, finished first among club teams and third overall at the Civilian Marksmanship Program Regionals in Salt Lake City April 9-11. In addition to the team’s success, member Colton Baumgardner was awarded a Junior Distinguished Air Rife Badge, one of fewer than 900 issued nationally over the past 10 years. Baumgardner is joined on the team, called S-Cubed, by Hailey Hahn, Abby Holt, Austin McBride and Marjorie
Rouse. “Shooting against the best air rifle shooters in the country can be very intimidating,” Goodman said. “Not only is the competition fierce, shooting on an Olympic-level range can be unnerving.” Before heading off to Salt Lake City, S-Cubed won its third consecutive Washington state title Jan. 17 and 18. The latest success follows several other outstanding performances by the local shooters this year. Competing for the Oak Harbor High School Navy Junior Reserver Officer Corps rifle team, Baumgardner, Holt, Hahn and Rouse placed second in the Western Regional in Phoenix in February. Baumgardner placed second
individually. That performance earned a trip to the ROTC nationals in Ohio in March. There, the Baumgardner, Holt, Hahn and McBride placed third among Navy teams and 14th overall. The performance was even “more impressive,” coach Goodman said, because Hahn’s rifle “malfunctioned during the match and had to be repaired while the clock was running.” Hahn was forced to complete her remaining shots during the prone segment in only half the time. The team, which Goodman calls “an amazing group of athletes,” is preparing to go to the U.S. Civilian Marksmanship Program nationals and Junior Olympics in June.
Girls Golf
ROUNDUP
The Oak Harbor girls golf team picked up a Wesco North win by defeating Marysville Getchell 535-561 at the Whidbey Golf Club Wednesday, April 15.

Oak Harbor won 4-3 twice at home, beating Marysville-Pilchuck Tuesday and Arlington Wednesday. Mckenzie Perry and AnnaBelle Whitefoot won the top two singles matches both days.

Oak Harbor lost 2-1 in overtime to visiting Shorewood Tuesday. Oak Harbor, winners of only one match this season, gave Shorewood (5-1, 6-2-2), ranked 14th in the state 3A poll, all it could handle. After a 0-0 halftime tie, Oak Harbor’s J.J. Mitchell scored midway through the second period with an assist from Eric Jensen. The goal held up until the final minutes. Shorewood scored on a penalty kick with four minutes remaining in regulation and on a corner kick

Student art on display on Pioneer Way By DEBRA VAUGHN

maya Sanders loves to draw. Flowers, trees, butterflies. And her favorite subject, what she calls “mystical creatures” — the mermaids and other fantastical characters that unfurl from her colored pencils. For the first time, the 10-year-old gets the thrill of seeing her artwork displayed in a public venue. She and other Oak Harbor elementary school students will have their art hung in storefronts along Pioneer Way for a week beginning Monday. Amaya, a fifth-grader at Olympic View Elementary, is super excited. But then again, the staff at the school say Amaya is excited at just about everything. She talks so fast she’s not allowed to lead the pledge of allegiance because nobody else can

areas. This particular lesson included a history of optical art, and students also needed to measure precisely to make this particular piece successful. Her students loved a book on optical illusions she picked up called, “Eye Twisters.” “It’s the most popular book in my class,” Brady said. She said the levy taxpayers approved in 2013 helps support projects such as this one. This is the 14th year of the Elementary Artwork, which coincides with Holland Happening.

keep up. She and her class created “op art” — optical illusions that trick the eye. Hers is a contrast of dark bold lines and bright, springtime colors. “When I start drawing, I let my ideas come out on the paper,” she said. Amaya isn’t sure what she wants to do for a grown up job, but she hasn’t ruled out being an artist. She’s constantly sketching. She’d love to someday own a spacious studio filled with paints and canvases. “When I draw, I get a lot of creative ideas,” she said. “Me and my brother have drawing contests with my mom.” She lets her little brother win. This is more than a creative outlet for the students. Amaya’s art teacher, Christina Brady, said art helps her students make connections and solve problems in other academic

Other Moves to showcase dancers’ talent By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record
Niki Greene, age 14, is brimming with excitement as she talks about her upcoming performance with the Island Dance Performing Team. Greene has been with the school since the age of five; this is her first year on the team, an opportunity she’s had her sights on for over two years. “Everything fell into place,” she said. Greene will be joining fellow Island Dance Performing Team members and guests at the upcoming annual Other Moves dance showcase, which features a variety of dance styles ranging from hip hop to lyrical, jazz and contemporary. Performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium Theater. In addition to it being a venue for community members and Island Dance performers to take to the stage to demonstrate their artistry, the showcase is a major fundraiser for the performing team. Funds raised from the
event will be used to offset the costs of competitions throughout the year. They include travel expenses, entrance fees and costumes. Jamee Pitts, artistic director and choreographer, stressed that the team is less focused on winning competitions and more upon building the dancers’ skill sets and showcasing their teamwork, tenacity and passion. “We aren’t going there and saying, ‘I’m going to win first place; I’m going to win double-platinum,’ ” Pitts said. “We’re going and saying, ‘I’m going to share my gift and my love for dance; and I’m going to share my story with the audience; and I can’t wait to get the judges’ critique to better myself.’ ” The team was created by Susan Vanderwood as a means for intermediate dancers who were not quite ready to join the professional Whidbey Island Dance Theater company to get a little more out of the school, a sort of “next edge,” towards a dance career. Competition was never really the focus, which Pitts says is somewhat unique to Island Dance due to it being home to a school, profession-

be in a position to be able to help my community,” she said. A 1996 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, Hizon has been an active member of the community since her teens. As the youngest member of the council, she said she has a unique perspective that would otherwise be missing from the body. She advocates for youth as the city’s representative on the Oak Harbor Youth Coalition. And like all council members, she’s been involved in the sewage treatment plant project, which is the largest project that the city has ever undertaken. She said she wants to see the project and other ongoing issues to the end.

“I would love to be there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony,” she said. Councilman Rick Almberg was the first of the three council members to announce that he is seeking reelection. Mayor Dudley’s term expires this year. He hasn’t made a formal announcement, but said he will likely throw his hat in the ring. Severns filed with the state Public Disclosure Commissioner as a mayoral candidate and has already raised more than $10,000 toward his campaign. Among those who have donated to his campaign are Oak Harbor Chamber Executive Director Christine Cribb, chamber President Jason McFadyen, attorney Chris Skinner, former mayor Jim Slowik, Oak Harbor School Board member Gary Wallin and council members Joel Servatius, Almberg and Munns.
LETTER CONTINUED FROM A1
The members met again this week after allegations arose about irregularities in the way the vote was taken, but no change was made in the no-confidence vote, according to officers who were there. The president of the police association’s board said this week that the board has decided not to comment to the press at this point. Green did not return a call for comment. The no-confidence vote came after it became public that Green had issued Gardner a written warning and extended her probationary period as captain last October for “poor judgment and lack of leadership.” Her probationary period ends April 28. The warning letter was in regard to Gardner’s answers to questions from him and the human-resources director about her romantic relationship with Sgt. Carl Seim, who is her subordinate. They have since been married. The letter outlines what appears to be evolving admissions on Gardner’s part.
Page A15
Gardner’s attorney, Joan Mell of Fircrest, is defending her client vigorously. She argues that Gardner was not dishonest — since she and Seim weren’t involved at the time of the questions — and that Gardner had no duty to divulge details of her personal life if there was no current conflict. “HR cannot legally invade the privacy of law enforcement officers by demanding full disclosure of their personal or intimate contacts with one another,” she said. In an email to Dudley, Seim attacks the way in which the police association’s no-confidence vote was handled; he took part in the meeting. He claimed that the issue was deliberately vague in the meeting agenda so that those who were supportive of Gardner and Green wouldn’t show up. He said specific officers were told about the no-confidence vote ahead of time. “It was obvious that this meeting was a deliberate coup to disgrace the current administration,” he wrote. Nevertheless, the entire membership was aware of the purpose of the association meeting this week and the members elected to let the no-confidence vote and the letter to the mayor stand. The letter to Dudley isn’t specific about

what the concerns are about Gardner. It states that the association believes she made poor management decisions, displayed a lack of leadership and violated both department and city policy. In a written statement, Gardner writes that the association never came to her with concerns about her being “unfair” and also notes that the letter doesn’t identify any decisions that she made that could be construed as unfair. “I understand the focus is on me right now, but I am confident that will pass,” she wrote. “My personal life is just not that interesting. I plan to continue to make decisions that are just. I expect the Chief and the Mayor will hold me accountable as they have done to date without apology. “I feel supported at home, in the department, in the community and by the leadership of Oak Harbor. Dudley said he believes the association’s actions are really a result of a political divide that’s been in place since before he was mayor. He pointed out that the department was split when he ran for mayor against former mayor Jim Slowik, whose son Tony Slowik is on the force. Gardner, Seim and others on the detective side of the department campaigned openly for Dudley.

ARREST CONTINUED FROM A1 this weekend. “We thought action was better than words,” Servatius said. “It’s not how we want people to remember about our town.” He and Almberg bought paint and rounded up some neighbor kids to help paint over the graffiti. It didn’t take long. Oak Harbor Police Department took a man into custody early Wednesday morning in connection with the Erie Street graffiti. Nathan P. Trujillo, 20, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of second-degree malicious mischief, a class C felony, and consuming alcohol as a minor, according to a police news release. Trujillo was held pending an appearance in court. Trujillo told a regional TV news station Thursday that he was black-out drunk and doesn’t remember what happened that night. Prior to the painting project, the graffiti appeared on retaining wall on Southwest Erie Street behind Petco near Walmart. Scrawled on either side
of an Oak Harbor Music Festival mural painted by Oak Harbor High School students last September were a series of indecipherable letter-like swirls. The graffiti covered the retaining wall for about 30 feet. Officers responded to a complaint at around 1 a.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Southwest Erie Street and State Highway 20. A witness observed a male subject, wearing all black, spray painting the retaining wall behind Petco, according to the police report. Officers said they located a male who fit the description. The suspect was holding something in his hand, and police said they subsequently located a can of spray paint, along with other graffiti materials. Police officers said they also smelled and observed fresh paint on the cement retaining wall. Detectives are seeking any information or leads regarding another graffiti suspect who police said they believe is unrelated to the case. n Anyone with information is asked to call the Oak Harbor Police Department at 360-279-4600 and ask to speak with a detective.
POT TAXES CONTINUED FROM A1
Island County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition sent a letter to state legislators protesting the lack of funding to local government. The state budget currently proposes giving counties and cities just 6 percent of all marijuana sales tax to share statewide. “Once it gets to the local level, it’s going to be very low,” Price Johnson said. The coalition came together last year in response to the rise of property crime and drug abuse on the island and wants to be proactive about pot use, Price Johnson said. The group believes 6 percent of the marijuana sales tax for counties is unreasonable and unfair. “Of the eight mandates for legalized marijuana from the federal government, five fall to local governments,” said the letter signed by Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who chairs the coalition. “The new tax revenue generated from the emerging marijuana industry must be shared with local government in a way that reflects the responsibility reflected there.” Commissioner Jill Johnson was against allowing marijuana to be grown and sold in Island County but eventually voted to support it to reflect the wishes of voters.

In addition, Brown said, money should be funneled into the health department for chemical dependency treatment and community education. JOHNSON: “There’s dif“What the state ferent areas is doing by this needs to be continuing to invested in,” he take and reduce revenue that was said. Brown said he originally split is also pushing with counties is for combining confounding.” medical and recreational marijuana retailers to create a one-stopshop scenario that would make law enforcement simpler. Price Johnson said the state has a history of sunsetting or rolling back tax funding to local governments, including those for alcohol sales and Medicaid reimbursement rates. In response to that, Price Johnson said, counties are also advocating for raising the cap on property tax increases. Currently, counties can only raise property taxes by 1 percent per year without a vote of the people, even as inflation and operating costs increase by 3-5 percent. “If we don’t have the resources locally to (provide services), it’s going to be a big challenge,” Price Johnson said.
