s Oak Harbor history goes, the dirt underneath Karla Freund’s feet is essentially hallowed ground. She works the garden on the hillside of the old Freund farmstead almost daily, getting a birds-eye view of Oak Harbor’s past and present. Standing over rows of eggplant, cucumbers, radishes and beets, she can look beyond an 1860s farmhouse still on the property and see most of Oak Harbor’s cityscape and more modern development. She can hear the sounds of progress, too, from the sirens to whizzing cars and horns that blare all too frequently at the nearby intersection of Erie Street and Highway 20. “I hear a lot of ‘car wash!’” Freund said. “Once in a while, I think SEE 100TH, A13
Whidbey General Hospital’s new CEO Geri Forbes demonstrated a new brand of leadership Saturday when she attended a community event at Fort Nugent Park. Forbes was on hand for presentation of portable defibrillators to a youth football team and its coaches. “This will save lives,” Forbes said at the event. For Forbes, being accessible to the community is a main pillar of her leadership style. “Part of my role is to be the FORBES: face of the hos- “Will I make it pital,” Forbes to every event? said in a Monday No, but I’ll try to interview. “I take make as many as that very seri- I can.” ously.” “Will I make it to every event?

First few days of Filing Week yields surprise candidates Whidbey News-Times staff
There were surprises for Whidbey Island voters in the first couple of days of candidate Filing Week. And it appears that some seats may have no
candidates at all. Filing week started 9 a.m. Monday and continues through 4 p.m. Friday. For a few hours Tuesday morning, candidates weren’t able to file electronically because of an outage
involving Northwest Open Access Network that affected the state’s election web applications, according to the Office of the Secretary of State. On Monday, Oak Harbor resident Erika
Carnahan filed to run for the Whidbey General Hospital board seat currently held by Oak Harbor resident Nancy Fey, who was SEE ON FILING, A23

Chaplain’s dream of a Walk of Honor realized By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff reporter
For years Oak Harbor Fire Chaplain Ron Hancock wanted a way to honor servicemen and women in Oak Harbor. He dreamt about it and he talked about it — to everyone all over town. To mayors, to business owners, to anyone who would listen. “It bothered me you go through Oak Harbor, a mili-
tary town, and there were no visible signs that said, ‘Thank you’ from the civilians for the troops,” Hancock said. “I just thought there should be a physical statement that says, ‘Thank you for the freedom.’” With help from the community, Hancock’s vision is being realized downtown. The project is called the Walk of Honor. A dedication ceremony is planned for 3 p.m. Saturday, May 23 on Pioneer Way near the intersection with Southeast Pasek Street. Banners now hang from light poles on Pioneer between Midway and Regatta.

Hancock grew up in Detroit “on the wrong side of the cross.” After some trouble in his teenage years, he joined the U.S. Navy at age 18. His first duty station was Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1961. He served on the NAS Whidbey Fire Department for more than 30 years and now serves with the Oak Harbor Fire
Department. His experiences here and abroad ingrained in him a deep respect for military personnel and local firefighters and police officers. He refers to them as “those who stand the watch.” Experiences of World War II veterans he met serving in Vietnam were a particularly powerful influence. If America had lost that war, he said, “We darn well would
have lost our freedom. If America had lost our freedom, the world would have.” He wants people traveling along Pioneer Way to be reminded of that service. And he’d like to perhaps inspire a young person to serve. “This is such a community thing,” Hancock said. “If there’s going to be any cheering, it should be for the troops.”

Oak Harbor reaches new high with store By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Kaleafa, Oak Harbor’s first recreational marijuana retailer, is hoping to change the face of pot consumption. “The vision from the beginning was to not just be another weed shop but to provide the residents of Oak Harbor and Whidbey Island something to be proud of,” co-owner Brent Qualls said. The store, located next to at 33858 State Highway 20 next to Floor Show, is aiming for a high-end look to differentiate itself from other stores. Aesthetically, the high ceiling lends itself to a sleek, loftstyle look that creates a clean and welcoming design, said co-owner Bill Widmer. Kaleafa has partnered with local award-winning photographer Denis Hill to display his landscape photography on the walls, along with other local artists such as Mike McConnell. Product-wise, the store features more than 20 varieties of smokable marijuana, starting at $10 per gram, along
with edibles that include chocolates, brownies and syrups for cooking. “Our goal was to have the best looking store, with the highest quality products, most knowledgeable staff and the best prices,” Qualls said. “So far, I think we’ve done that.” In addition to all of the cannabis products, Kaleafa also features high-end glassware. “So far, we have one really beautiful line from Liberty 503, and we’ll be bringing in much more soon,” Qualls said. Widmer said that while they are seeking the best products on the market, they want to stay local Widmer said he’s aware of six authorized producers on the island so far and will be looking to source locally as much as possible. “If folks spend their money here, we want it to stay here,” Widmer said. “We really want to be a part of things here.” Most impor tantly, Widmer and Quall said they agree that providing topnotch service with knowledgable staff members will

State board rejects county’s temporary areas ordinance By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A state hearings board rejected the critical areas ordinance the county adopted last February because it was temporary. The ordinance was challenged by the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, which repeatedly questioned the county’s environmental ordinances for not offering proper protections. “We would have accepted what they did if it hadn’t been interim,” said WEAN’s Marianne Edain. “You can’t ask for permanent resolutions when you have your fingers crossed and hope to change it in a year.” The Growth Management Hearings Board found in a ruling dated May 4 that the county remains noncompliant in regulating critical areas such as wetlands, aquifers and wildlife habitats in some agricultural areas. The board agreed with WEAN’s argument “that a jurisdiction cannot achieve compliance through the adoption of an interim ordinance.” Regardless, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she considers the ruling a win for the county
because the Hearings Board didn’t find any other problems with the ordinance. Planning Director David Wechner said the county hoped the Hearings Board would accept the interim ordinance because it included a work plan, allowed per state statute, outlining a plan to address the ordinance further in the Comprehensive Plan update due next year. “The board thought it would be less confusing to do it all at once,” Wechner said. “Apparently the Hearings Board disagreed.” The Hearings Board ordered the county to adopt a permanent ordinance by Nov. 13. While the temporary ordinance required agricultural activities in the rural zone to comply with critical areas protections, WEAN remains concerned about the effects of agriculture. Under the temporary ordinance, which remains in effect, existing and ongoing agricultural properties zoned as commercial agriculture and rural agriculture will be exempt from the critical-areas ordinance, if best management practices are used. “Numerous studies have now found that most surface water on the islands violates state standards for bacterial

contamination, temperature, and other water quality criteria,” said Steve Erickson of WEAN in a press release. “There are multiple causes and agriculture is certainly a contributor.” Edain said she hopes a balance can be struck. “We believe that its possible to have both viable agriculture and effective environmental protection, and look forward to working with the county and others to achieve that,” she said. Edain and Erickson were critical of what they see as the county’s “stonewalling” efforts to come into compliance over the years. The original ordinance was adopted in 1998, and the group challenged the county’s treatment of wetlands on farmland in 2000 and won. Previously, the county had exempted all agricultural zones from wetland protection, which WEAN argued was contrary to GMA.
Nurse back on the job at Whidbey General By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A registered nurse was reinstated to her position after the state nurses’ association filed a complaint against Whidbey General Hospital. The complaint, filed in April by the Washington State Nurses’ Association, claimed that the hospital refused to provide documentation supporting the termination of union member Terrie Owens. The hospital did not provide documentation but said it “had relied on Ms. Owens’ ‘Patient Charts’ and two ‘Patient Safety Net Reports,’ ” according to the complaint filed with the state Public Employment Relations Commission. The hospital confirmed Tuesday that Owens had been reinstated.

Hospital representatives said that “it is not appropriate for the hospital to comment further at this time, as this matter is involved in pending litigation.” The nurses’ association said Owens was reinstated “as a result of WSNA’s advocacy.” “The Washington State Nurses’ Association is proud to stand behind this nurse and her 12 years of service at the hospital,” according to a Monday news release. “The unfair labor practice filed by WSNA stems in part from the hospital’s inability to produce any documentation for their alleged rea-

Can we save one starfish at a time? SOUND OFF
By Catherine Ballay Many of us love “The Starfish Story,” a tale traced to an essay by the American anthropologist and science writer Loren Eiseley. It gently reminds us to focus not on the magnitude of the problem, but on the part of it that lies before us. Here is one telling: An old man walking on the beach encounters a young man picking up starfish stranded on the sand. “Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” he asks. To the younger man, it’s obvious: “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.” “But don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can’t possibly make a difference.” Reaching down and tossing in another, the young man replies, “It made a difference for that one.” On May 12, the Community Health Advisory Board and the Island County Board of Health recognized some of the “starfish tossers” in our midst. Fifteen individuals and agencies were recognized as Linda Lee Martens Memorial Health Heroes for their extraordinary efforts contributing to the health and well-being of the people of Island County. From working to meet the needs of homeless people in South Whidbey to the simple act of going out every day to pick up litter on Oak Harbor sidewalks while offering kindness to people on the way, each awardee has found something that needs doing and quietly stepped up to get the job done. Some jobs, like tossing back starfish, can never be “done,” of course, and individuals — even our heroes — get tired, yet they keep on. How much more could we accomplish together if we saw how our challenges intersect and our goals affect one another? Right now, our health department and Community Health Advisory Board are embarking on a new community health assessment. We’ve started with help from community experts of wide-ranging backgrounds to be sure we’re asking the right questions. The conversation will expand over the coming months as the assessment reveals a picture of where we stand and what challenges we face. Then we can set goals for a new threeyear community health improvement plan — goals that arise from our community will be aimed at our community and will take work by our community to achieve. Our collective quality of life is enhanced by these honored Health Heroes, by other individuals, and by programs of agencies and organizations across the county, including the health department. Working together, we won’t leave any “starfish” on our shore. n Coupeville resident Catherine Ballay is chair of the volunteer Community Health Advisory Board, which is appointed by the Board of Health.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fatal fire
Responders deserve our sincere thanks Editor, Firefighters and the Island County Sheriff’s Office responded to a tragic fire that recently occurred on Bay Front Lane in the Dugualla Community and resulted in the tragic loss of one life. I witnessed firsthand firefighters from the North Whidbey Fire District, Mount Erie Fire Department and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Fire Department valiantly trying to save both the home and person inside, and then, due to their tireless and brave efforts, they were able to save the adjoining homes which were damaged but spared. It should be noted that the vast majority of firefighters responding to fire scenes and risking their lives in the process are unpaid volunteers. What valuable members of our community they are, devoting their spare time to hours of training and actual responses.
I — we of the surrounding homes — owe a sincere, heartfelt thank-you to all who participated in this brave and untiring effort to preserve life and property. Well done indeed. Fred Stilwell Oak Harbor
Pageant
Despite glitches, first Miss OH was a success Editor, On May 2 we celebrated a special moment of firsts for Oak Harbor as we crowned Miss Oak Harbor 2015, Dejsha Lollar, along with First Princess, Mara Powers, and Second Princess, Jacalyn Hefflefinger. While our show had a few glitches in its first year, we were pleased to break through common beauty pageant stereotypes with a focus on areas such as scholastics, service, fitness and participation. The end result of more than $4,800 in scholarship money awarded far exceeded our expectations. The success of this program would
not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We humbly thank all of the businesses and individuals for their support and contributions. We would also like to thank our Mistress of Ceremonies, Christine Cribb, our auditors, Kathy Jolly and Ronnie Wright, and our judges, Jeff McMahan, Kenzi Novell, Keven Graves, Nora O’Connell Balda and Tara Hizon. We acknowledge special appreciation for our backstage crew and pageant-night helpers, Abbie Martin, Barbara Hernandez, Jim Nelson, Mollie Brodt, OHHS NJROTC Color Guard, Susan Jensen, TJ Pierzchala, Vic Rikard and Wildcat TV. We would also like to thank our great community for the support of our program and participants, our contestants for their unflagging commitment to the program and its process, and the nine sets of parents who shared their daughters with us and stood behind them all the way. You all made this inaugural event exciting and successful, and we are so grateful. Alone we can do so little, together SEE LETTERS, A7

Sundberg legacy
NY Times journalist to kick off lectures Editor, A very successful fundraising lunch was held at Useless Bay Country Club late last month by members of the Trudy Sundberg Lecture planning team. We thank all those who attended, and especially our speaker, Bob Whitsitt, who donated his time and shared his unique — and very entertaining — sports perspective. We also recognize and thank the generosity of our donors and sponsors. The event marked an important step in achieving our goal of bringing an eminent speaker to Whidbey Island for the annual Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecture. The first Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecturer will arrive on Whidbey Island in May 2016. Hedrick Smith, a former New York Times Washington Bureau chief, has written five books and produced more than 50 hours of documentaries for PBS and Frontline. His most recent book, “Who Stole the American Dream?,” made the New York Times national bestseller list. He is a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and editor, an Emmy Award–winning producer and is considered one of America’s most distinguished journalists. Plans for Hedrick Smith’s visit include a formal lecture, open and free to the public, interactions with Whidbey high school and college students, and a private gathering to meet with him on a more informal basis. This will be the first of many annu-
al lectures to honor Trudy and draw large audiences to discover information and exchange ideas in a setting not readily available to the Whidbey community. If readers are interested in learning more about the lecture series, and especially if they would like to help plan and host the Hedrick Smith Lecture event on Whidbey next year, please contact me at 360-675-5888 or email mfgold@comcast.net We welcome readers’ inquiries, ideas and enthusiastic participation.

Object to COER’s mission of closure Editor, Since the late 1940s, our family has owned and paid taxes on property between Deception Pass and Ault Field. We have been subjected to our share of noisy jets and have ceased talking when the jets drown out conversation. But we do object to COER’s wish to excuse Coupeville’s Outlying Field from all touch-and-go flights and concentrate them at Ault Field. (And we also object on behalf of visitors to Deception Pass State Park, which is the most popular of all our state parks.) As to COER’s suggestion to shove the Navy training into Eastern Washington or to another state altogether, that is merely COER’s NIMBYism talking. Our United States Navy should not be handicapped in any way from whatever practicing it takes to train our young men to accomplish successful carrier landings. Maxine Keesling Woodinville
LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS City campground

Can someone tell me why anyone in their right mind would even consider something like that? I have watched the facility for two years now, and it has been used year-round. This move would be asinine. I know the city is making good money on this facility because I have had relatives stay there. Why would you close down a moneymaker for that length of time? Isn’t there some other place you could put the dirt while you are working on the sewer project? You are going to lose a considerable amount of money that you will never recoup. Is the city so rich it can afford a closure for that length of time? It will also put some military people out of a place to live. That being said, I know that some of you out there don’t care what happens to the military people and where they live. Some of you want the military gone. Not me. God bless all military people. When it comes time to upgrade the campground, then close part of it, and then reopen and close another part if needed. Maybe I’m being too logical. Common sense and logic seem to have died sometime in the recent past. I’m really surprised the public has not come up with more objections. Maybe my letter will get people thinking. That is, if it is printed. Nora Purdy Oak Harbor

n The first mayor of Oak Harbor, Jerome Ely, called a meeting of the newly elected town council for Saturday evening, May 15, in the office of J.T. Rogers, and for the purpose of organization and the appointment by the mayor of the various officers provided for by the state law. The meetings of a town council were always public and it was encouraging to see citizens generally take enough interest in municipal affairs to be in attendance. n Mr. Forbes, who concluded to put in a regular ferry boat of 80 horsepower in capacity at Stewart’s Landing, arrived Tuesday and was engaged in securing the necessary material to commence immediate construction of the slips on both sides. n Twelve hundred persons lost their lives, the British admiralty estimated, when the Cunard line steamship Lusitania was torpedoed off Old Head, Kinsdale, on the Irish coast. The ship was sunk without warning by a German submarine.

n The Whidby Dairy Products Company announced it would hold its formal opening and open house celebration. Farmers particularly were invited. The plant had been in operation for months, but directors wished to wait until all equipment was installed and everything in readiness before making their invitation to the public. n “Wanted, horses!” was the cry of the committee in charge of that branch of the Holland Days Festivities to be held June 14-15. The committee lined up a program of horsey events for the two days and had a nice allotment of $80 for prize money. As a consequence, they wanted horses, and lots of them, to be entered by their owners in the various competitive classes. n The May 23 edition of the Farm Bureau News was the Whidby Dairy Edition.

n Oak Harbor High School’s students came up with a corny way of celebrating the town’s golden anniversary. They planned to walk a mile for each year of incorporation. n A special ceremony to honor city employees was held on Oak Harbor’s golden anniversary May 15. Pins for 10, 15 and 20 years of service were given in a small ceremony. The city council also held an open house for the public.

n For the second time that year, voters rejected the Oak Harbor School District’s proposed two-year $4 million school levy. n In a blow to the Coupeville Planning Commission, the town council rejected a sweeping moratorium on building permits. But Mayor Bette Coyne said she may have a compromise. Coyne said she could not accept a moratorium on all building permits but was willing to support one on new subdivisions and short plats until it was determined the town had an adequate water supply. n Looking Back is compiled from the Whidbey News-Times’ archives as the newspaper celebrates 125 years in business and the City of Oak Harbor its 100th anniversary of incorporation.

Tyler Snavely smacks a sacrifice fly to drive in one of Oak Harbor’s runs in Saturday’s game. Maverick pitcher Elliott Reece cruised until the sixth inning as Meadowdale built a 4-0 lead. Walks to Kevyn Johnson and C.J. Meders (Reece’s first of the game) and a single by Brent Mertins loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the sixth. Tyler Snavely’s sacrifice fly scored one run, and Robert Herring’s fielder’s choice drove in another to make it 4-2 going into the final inning. Any momentum Oak Harbor banked in the sixth was quickly spent. In the top of the seventh, the first six Mavericks reached base. The first three stroked base hits for one run, then the Wildcats committed three straight errors and four more runs scored. Meders, Preston Rankin, Mertins and Trent Benson collected Oak Harbor’s hits.

DISTRICT DOWNER The weather Saturday was gorgeous, but the results weren’t for the Oak Harbor and Coupeville high school teams beginning district tournament play. In District 3 1A action, which was loser-out in the first round, the Coupeville baseball team lost 1-0 to visiting Cascade Christian and the Wolves’ soccer team fell 5-2 at Charles Wright. The Oak Harbor baseball team also lost its opening playoff game, 13-2 at home to Meadowdale. Fortunately for the Wildcats, the District 1 3A tournament is double elimination. Oak Harbor hosted Arlington Tuesday; results were not available at press time. If the Wildcats won, they will play at 4 p.m. Wednesday, possibly at home. The site and opponent were determined by the outcome of other games Tuesday. The Coupeville track team also began its postseason Saturday, competing in the Olympic League championship meet at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo. The Oak Harbor track team finished its regular season at the Stanwood Invitational Friday by placing second in both the boys and girls meets, and the Wildcat softball team dropped a pair of conference games, losing 12-1 to visiting Arlington Friday and 14-10 in nine innings on a walk-off grand slam at Marysville-Pilchuck Monday.

1 run holds up With one out in the top of the first inning, Cascade Christian received a walk from Coupeville pitcher Aaron Curtin. The runner moved to second on a passed ball and to third on a ground out. The next Cougar hit an infield single off the glove of third baseman Julian Welling to drive in the game’s onlyrun. Curtin shut down the Cougars the rest of the way, allowing only two other hits and one other walk while striking out four. Coupeville’s best chances to score came early when it registered its only two hits off Tyler Fox. A one-out single and error put Carson Risner on second base in the second inning. Clay Reilly led off the third
inning with a double. Strikeouts and ground outs ended those threats. The Wolves (9-10) also had a leadoff walk in the sixth, but that runner was erased on a double play. Even though his club lost, Coach Willie Smith liked its effort this season: “I thought for all this team went through, they did a good job.”
Early goals hurt “We have a bad habit of conceding early goals,” Coupeville soccer coach Kyle Nelson said, and that trend continued as Charles Wright (10-3) scored quickly in each half. Five minutes into the game, the Terriers scored their first goal. Coupeville (3-12) countered with a goal from Abraham Leyva Elenes off an assist from Tanner Kircher, and the teams went

As a team, the Coupeville girls were seventh and the boys ninth in the 11-team meet. The girls, however, were first and the boys second among the four 1A schools. North Kitsap, a 2A school, won the boys meet with 128 points; Coupeville finished with 14. The Vikings also won the girls title, scoring 160.5; the Wolves totaled 45. Martin was the discus champion, tossing the platter 135-10. He also finished fifth in the shot put in 40-05.5. Stone won the 400 meters (59.68) and finished second in three other events.

Stone’s time in the 400 is the fifth-fastest among 1A runners in Washington this season. The 4x200 mark is the fourth best, and the 4x100 time is ranked eighth. Hurlburt finished fourth in the 200 (27.87) and eighth in the 100 (13.6). Skyler Lawrence also had a solid meet for the Coupeville girls, placing fourth in the shot put (28-08.5) and ninth in the discus (86-01).

Dejon Devroe, running the 800 for the first time, captured the event in 1:54.66, the fourth fastest 3A time in the state this spring. The mark is only a quarter-second off the leading time. Jonalynn Horn won the girls’ 3,200 meters (11:52.93). She also claimed one of Oak Harbor’s eight second-place finishes among the girls (1,600, 5:32.4). The Wildcat boys picked up five second-place finishes. In the 300 hurdles, Jared Gray clocked the state’s fourth-fastest 3A time with a 40.18.

Softball loses 2 In the loss to Arlington, the Wildcats collected only two hits, singles by Laura Anderson and Alexa Findley, who also drove in a run. Offense wasn’t a problem at Marysville-Pilchuck. The Wildcats overcame a 10-4 deficit to send the game to extra innings, but M-P pulled out the win with a two-out, bases-loaded home run. Kelly Findley finished with four hits and four RBI; Tricia Sarns had a single, double and four RBI; Shea Davis rapped three hits; and Alexa Findley and Anderson each had two singles.

Battalion Chief Chris Swiger speaks with recruits before they enter a burning house to practice putting out fires during a training session Saturday.
BURNtoLEARN
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Thirteen firefighting candidates went up against flames, smoke and heat during a live fire training on North Whidbey Saturday. Marv Koorn, chief of North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, explained that his department and Oak Harbor Fire jointly put on an academy each year to train new recruits to become volunteer firefighters. As part of the academy, the
firefighters-in-training have to battle a real fire. On Saturday, firefighters burned down a decrepit house off Ault Field Road; the new owner plans to rebuild. Over and over again, instructors used pallets to start smoky fires inside the house and a team of recruits dragged a hose inside to put out the conflagration. Koorn said they open the door to blinding smoke, fierce heat and a fire that’s just feet away.
“It gets the adrenaline going,” he said. Oak Harbor City Councilman Joel Servatius donned firefighting gear and went inside to experience firsthand what firefighters go through. In the end, the interior got so hot that Lt. Ed Klaszky, an instructor, was visibly steaming when he exited the house. Koorn said it was a sign that it was time to let the fire go. Flames consumed the house in mere minutes.

Campground closes at S. Whidbey State Park Whidbey News Group
The days of overnight camping at South Whidbey State Park are likely over for good. Virginia Painter, spokeswoman for the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, confirmed Tuesday that a site plan to be conducted later this year will specifically examine how to transition the campgrounds to a day-use facility only. The nature of the closure — internal tree rot of oldgrowth trees — isn’t something that can be easily fixed, leaving little choice but to look for alternatives, she said. “It doesn’t go away, so it becomes a question of what to do next,” Painter said. The state agency announced Friday that the campgrounds, nestled in the heart of a 347-acre oldgrowth park, were deemed unsafe for overnight use due to the hazards of internal tree rot in the surrounding forest. Parks staff became aware of the issue in mid-April when they began preparing the campgrounds for its seasonal opening on May 1. Several large Douglas fir trees in the campground had snapped and fallen across campsites. The camping season runs through Sept. 15.
While the area remains open for day use, such as walking or picnicking at campsites, the normally bustling campgrounds were like a ghost town Tuesday morning. The only person in that part of the park was Freeland resident Keith Anderson, who was there for his morning run on the Beach Trail. He hadn’t heard about the closure but said the state’s precautions seemed reasonable. “I can see where the state needs to protect itself from liability — and getting sued for $100 million,” Anderson said. He also supported the decision to keep the area open for day use, saying the risk for injury seems acceptable for all but overnight campers. Whidbey Island resident and park volunteer host Glenn Vallance, 90, was killed by a falling tree at the park in 2003. He was returning to his motorhome after grocery shopping in Freeland when a 136-foot fir tree fell on his truck, according to a story in the South Whidbey Record. A state park ranger was quoted in the story as saying the 250-year-old tree that hit Vallance’s car showed no signs of deterioration. The state park is a busy place. During the past fiscal year, June 1, 2013, to July

Freeland resident Keith Anderson walks through empty campgrounds at South Whidbey State Park Tuesday. The grounds, which usually open May 1, were closed due the presence of tree rot. It’s in enough trees to present a safety hazard to overnight campers, the Washington State Parks and Recreation commissioner has decided. 31, 2014, the park hosted 14,200 overnight campers, generating $97,500 in revenue. For calendar year 2014, the park saw a total visitor count of 42,600, which included daytime visitors. According to Painter, the decision to close wasn’t made lightly. A specialist was consulted and agreed

about the decision from park staff, she said. The site plan creation process is expected to begin in late summer early fall, Painter said. User groups may work with agency planners, and at least one public meeting is expected to be held though dates have not yet been set.
Oak Harbor market opens Thursday The 21st Oak Harbor Farmers Market begins Thursday. The market will go 4-7 p.m. in the space near the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce on Highway 20. At least four farmers have confirmed they will attend this week’s market, said Peg Tennant, who manages both the Oak Harbor and Coupeville farmers markets. “As the crops get ready, more farmers
show up,” Tennant said. About 60 varieties of tomato plants will be on sale. Dorothy Mueller of Bell’s Farm said she will be selling a new crop of spinach, but it’s too early for local strawberries. Raffle tickets also will be on sale all season long for a quilt made by a vendor. Proceeds will go toward purchasing backpacks for Oak Harbor students, Tennant said.

100TH
CONTINUED FROM A1 someone’s calling my name, ‘Kar-la!’” Remnants of Oak Harbor’s quiet, rural country charm of decades past are harder to find these days in a city that is celebrating its centennial anniversary this week. Founded in 1851 as one of Washington’s earliest white settlements, the city wasn’t incorporated until 1915. Yet, it was an event a quarter century later that impacted Oak Harbor most, and literally altered the city’s landscape, with the arrival of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and the growth that ensued. “It’s definitely grown,” said Carl Freund, Karla’s husband and the great-great nephew of Ulrich Freund, one of Oak Harbor’s founders. “I’ve seen it grow up from almost nothing,” said Earle Darst, 96, a retired bulb farmer and descendent of an Oak Harbor pioneer. “I remember when it was a little town like Coupeville and then it grew up after the Navy came.” Oak Harbor’s population hovered around 400 in the 1920s and 30s when boat travel was the only way to reach Whidbey Island. Deception Pass bridge was opened in 1935, ending the reliance on ferries to get to and from the mainland. A major shift in Oak Harbor’s rural landscape came in the early 1940s when the U.S. government purchased land from farmers near Crescent Harbor, Maylor Point and Clover Valley and began construction of a naval seaplane base and air field. “That was the turning point in the history of Oak Harbor,” said Peggy Darst Townsdin, who wrote three books chronicling the city’s history. “Harvey Hill, a historian in town, wrote that when the Navy came everyone was

working and everybody had money in their pockets. There were jobs for everybody.” Oak Harbor continued to maintain its small town character, however, for several decades, and in some respects, still does to this day. Some of the city’s institutions such as the Kow Korner, Blue Fox Drive-In Theater and Roller Barn arrived on the scene in the 1950s. The drive-in and roller rink still remain as family traditions while the Kow Korner lasted until the turn of the century. Fast food chains started arriving in Oak Harbor in the 1970s. Walmart came in 1998. “My earliest recollections of Oak Harbor was this charming little farming community,” said Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historic Society. Castellano grew up in Port Townsend but spent time as a sales representative in Oak Harbor during his college years. “It hadn’t changed much until McDonald’s came to town,” he said, referring to the mid 1970s. “That’s when it started becoming a city.” Oak Harbor is currently a city of about 22,000 that still celebrates many longtime traditions and festivals from its Dutch and Irish heritage and makes it a point to recognize is connection to the Navy. “One of the things where we’ve been very fortunate is we have a good relationship with the Navy that has been steadily growing,” said Al Koetje, an Oak Harbor native who was mayor of the city from 1972-96. “The city kind of grows with it. It’s very apparent that we appreciate having them as part of our community.” Staying connected to its history also is important to Oak Harbor residents and business owners as is evidenced by the recent makeover of the city’s historic downtown and continued efforts to revitalize
that part of town. However, growth and development often won out over historic preservation in Oak Harbor as opposed to other communities on the island. Carl Freund holds dear memories of the dairy farm his father and grandfather ran on the property where he grew up. But, over time, portions of the farm that once covered 160 acres were sold, making way for commercial ventures like Walmart, Safeway, and Haggen. Freund still jumps on a tractor and mows the grass regu-
larly on part of the family’s remaining acreage while his wife tends to the garden. The farmhouse his greatgreat-uncle, great-grandparents, grandparents and parents once lived in is hidden by an overgrown hedge and weeping willow that he remembers starting as a sucker from a giant that had fallen. Ultimately, however, he sees what’s left of the farm on the hill disappearing. Some of the land is zoned for residences. “It’s the economics of it,” Freund said. “It has to be developed.”

Open houses celebrate incorporation The first in a series of special events planned to mark the centennial of Oak Harbor’s incorporation will be Thursday, exactly 100 year from the day when the little seaside community officially became a city. The Oak Harbor Fire Department is holding an open house from 2 to 6 p.m. The family-friendly event will include demonstrations, tours, a display of old-timey photos, water play for kids, safety information, refreshments and even door prizes, according to Angela Braunstein, the department’s administrative assistant. She explained that series of open houses in city departments and other events are planned to occur throughout the year. The firehouse open house is the first stop in a game of “centennial bingo” planned for the year of events, according to Braunstein.

FILING
CONTINUED FROM A1 appointed to the position in 2013. Fey also filed for the seat. Carnahan hadn’t previously announced her intention to run. She has worked in medical administration and billing for more than 15 years. Currently employed at Rue and Primavera Rehabilitation in Oak Harbor, she also worked part-time at Whidbey General Hospital during her career. Carnahan said she loves the hospital, but feels the administration could use restructuring to encourage more team work. “It really is all about the patient,” Carnahan said. Carnahan said she is running because she believes in the importance of the hospital but believes it could better serve the community. “I firmly believe the hospital needs to be here,” Carnahan said. “I don’t want

to see it fall apart. There need to be changes so the community gets the service it deserves. “The complacency gets to be too much.” Coupeville resident Georgia Gardner, an incumbent hospital commissioner, filed for reelection. Greenbank resident Ron Born announced last week that he is challenging her, but he hadn’t filed as of noon Tuesday. Oak Harbor School Board has three seats up for reelection and one new candidate so far. Both Peter Hunt and Christine Abbott filed to run again. So far no one has filed to challenge them. Christine Cribb’s seat is also up for re-election, but she said she doesn’t plan to run again. She said her duties as executive director at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce demand her full attention. Robert Hallahan filed Tuesday to run for Cribb’s open seat. This is his first time running for elected
office. He retired from the Navy and is now an airline pilot. He and his wife have two high-school-age children who are home-schooled and enrolled in the Running Start program, which allows highschool students to take colleges for high school and college credit. There were no surprises for the City of Oak Harbor positions so far. Councilmen Jim Campbell and Bob Severns filed for mayor, as previously announced. Councilwoman Beth Munns and Councilman Rick Almberg filed for reelection. Councilwoman Tara Hizon hadn’t filed by press time, but previously said she will run again. All five seats on North Whidbey Parks and Recreation are on the ballot this year. Current commissioner Donna Sue Holly was first to file; she didn’t file for her own seat, but for position No. 1, a four-year seat held by board chairman Sean Merrill. Merrill said he doesn’t plan to seek reelection.

Wendy Shingleton said she also plans to file for reelection to the parks and recreation board. Dave Smith, who held position No. 5, recently resigned from his seat. Board member Steve Hoffmire didn’t return calls. The way things are shaping up, Coupeville may see an all-female council with
a female mayor starting in January. Coupeville transplant Catherine Ballay was the first candidate to file for Coupeville Town Council on Monday. Ballay, who moved to Coupeville from Virginia three years ago, said she decided to run after learn-
ing how much transition the council will be going through next year. Ballay filed for Position 3, which is being vacated by Molly Hughes, who is running for mayor. “I love Coupeville,” Ballay said. “I can see the need for business and tourism, but not too fast or out of our control.”

ON BOARD CONTINUED FROM A1 a hospital that has been troubled financially and has taken a few hits to its reputation. The hospital has operated in the red for the last few years and the 2015 budget adopted in November estimated a $5 million short fall. Forbes said a Monday interview that the financials are looking better this year than last and that it is a main goal to bring the public hospitals back up to a “neutral” or break-even status. “We’ll have peaks and valleys but as long as the trend is moving up, I’m satisfied,” Forbes said. Hospital critics have complained over the years about the inaccessibility of former CEO Tom Tomasino and his administration. The hospital district was further rocked last year when its chief nursing officer was accused, and then acquitted, of assault on a mentally ill patient. During her first three weeks, Forbes said she has spent a lot of time “rounding” or spending time getting to know the nurses and doctors on staff, according to Anne Tarrant, president of the hospital’s board of commissioners. Forbes describes herself as a “collaborative” type of leader who aims to listen to staff on the front lines in order to build strong teams that can initiate improvements. Forbes said her hope is that, between outreach to staff and the community, she’ll be able to find ways to best improve services. “We’re a small hospital,” Forbes said. “We need to be there for the community, not just when they’re sick but also to keep them well.” Forbes said she has already begun efforts to reach out to other community organizations, including Island County Public Health, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and Oak Harbor Naval Hospital. Her aim is to initiate programs that encourage health and but also help the publicly funded agencies do more with less. “The base is going to be growing,” Forbes said of the new squadrons arriving over the next couple of years. “We’ve all got to have a program for that.” Given the county’s large retired population,

Whidbey General Hospital’s new CEO Geri Forbes interacts will residents at a community event Saturday at Fort Nugent Park. Forbes said she wants to see more services geared toward the elderly. Very few adults want to move into a retirement home as they age and would rather stay in their homes, Forbes said. In keeping with the “age in place” trend, Forbes said she believes “there are more things we can create and help the elderly stay in their homes.” Tarrant said the board agreed during its Monday meeting that Forbes’ “fresh perspective” will be a boon for the public hospital. “It’s nice to have someone who doesn’t have a history,” Tarrant said. “She can look at the organization as a whole and offer a whole new set of solutions. “And she’s doing that.” The new CEO is also playing close attention to the upcoming construction of the new hospital wing, Tarrant said. “She’s been through this before” at previous hospitals, Tarrant said, adding she’s impressed with Forbes’ “total grasp of our project even though she’s only been here three weeks.” “Over all, we’re just pleased to have her on board as our CEO,” Tarrant said.
