Navy ‘setting the foundation for the next 30 to 40 years’ By KEVEN R. GRAVES Editor Photo by Ron Newberry/Whidbey News-Times
Whidbey Island Naval Air Station commander Capt. Mike Nortier delivers his State of the Station Thursday.
At a gathering of area business leaders Thursday, the commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station described
a base that’s on the rebound. NAS Whidbey, which peaked at approximately 9,000 active duty personnel in about 1994 and dropped to fewer than 7,000 personnel in 2013, will rise to about 9,000

“Right now is
the most important time to manage this facility.”
By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff reporter
One man’s trash may be another’s treasure. But what happens when a neighbor’s “treasures” become an eyesore or worse — a threat to public health and safety? About 200 complaints are made every year to the Island County Planning Department for code violations, for things such as junked cars, garbage in the yard and improper storage of hazardous materials. Most complaints are resolved in a few months. A few properties — about eight a year countywide — receive multiple complaints, and the owners are unable or sometimes unwilling to do anything about it. “It’s something we and every other jurisdiction struggle with,” said David Wechner, director for Island County Planning and Community Development. In April, a woman died in a fire in the Dugualla Bay Heights neighborhood. County officials had a long history with the property, the subject of multiple complaints for health department and county code violations. An overloaded extension cord caused the fire but the accumulation of newspapers and other items in the home likely contributed to the speed and heat of the fire, officials said.

by the year 2018, according to Capt. Mike Nortier. The active duty population is projected to settle back to just over 8,000 by 2020. SEE NAS WHIDBEY, A14

‘Uninvolved’ mayor raises council’s ire By DEBRA VAUGHN and JANIS REID
Paggao. “He is not communicating with us.”
An already strained relationship between the Oak Harbor City Council and Mayor Scott Dudley is further deteriorating in the final months of the mayor’s term — just as the council is poised to make crucial decisions on a multi-million dollar sewage treatment plant. Members of the City Council say the mayor doesn’t talk with them and seems increasingly uninvolved in city business. They also say it’s been difficult at times to get the information they need from city staff, whom the mayor directs. “We are frustrated with what’s happening with the mayor,” said Councilman Danny
THE MAYOR took a medical leave of absence May 4 to heal a ruptured disc in his back. Dudley said he takes phone calls and emails from city staff at home, but he’s not able to go to the office or attend city meetings and functions. It’s not clear when Dudley will be back full time, if ever. His term runs out at the end of the year, and he’s not running again. Dudley said his health is “week-to-week” and he has no sense when or if he’ll feel well enough to resume all his duties. He said he’d like to return. “I’m out on medical leave, but that shouldn’t

Mystery beneath the bridge
Multiple agencies, including North Whidbey Fire and Rescue and Island County Sheriff, swept the waters around Deception Pass Thursday after an empty kayak was recovered. Rescuers didn’t find anyone. The kayak probably washed out to sea or came loose, but officials take such a report seriously in case someone needs help, said North Whidbey Fire and Rescue Chief Mike Brown.

Defibrillator installed at Fort Nugent Park By JANIS REID
T Staff reporter
he first few minutes when a person is unresponsive are the most critical, according to Whidbey General Hospital paramedic Rob May. For that reason an automated external defibrillator, or AED, was recently installed at the snack shack at Fort Nugent Park. The park is heavily used by Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League, as well as other organizations, and organizers want to ensure both youth and adults have the best chance for survival in case of an emergency. “We want to make it as safe as possible,” May said. May demonstrated how to use the AED earlier this month to coaches and players with the league. May said the park is a farremoved site with a five to six minute response time from a staffed firehouse. The new AEDs are becoming a norm in the emergency response world, May said, because they are easy to use and increase survival rates. “The new CPR is very, very easy to learn,” May said. “Now we’re coupling that with the updat-

if the person needs a shock. “The machine won’t let you shock someone who doesn’t need it,” May said. As long as the person remains unresponsive, CPR should be
maintained the entire time except when a shock is required. Brian Jones, with Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League, said the organization has been working for a long time with Whidbey
General EMS to get every coach and parent trained in CPR and AED use. During practice there can be more than 200 people on the field at one time. “Within our organization you cannot be on that field unless you’ve been trained,” Jones said. “CPR has changed in the last 25 years. We think this provides a level of safety. It’s a great community asset.” May said organizations or individuals who wish to purchase their own defibrillators can apply for state grants to help pay for the machine that costs around $1,500. “There’s no shortage of resources for a community need like this,” May said. The Fort Nugent Park AED was donated in part by EMS staff and grants secured through the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation. “Community wellness is one of our primary focuses,” said Helen Taylor, foundation director. “Providing this equipment allows EMS staff to train people from one end of the island to the other to use these and save lives.” “We’re thrilled to be working with EMS. They’re one of our greatest assets.”

IT cleared Monday in lawsuit By JANIS REID Staff reporter
An Island County Superior Court judge has ruled that Island Transit leadership did not fire a former lead mechanic because of his race or age. Judge Vickie Churchill entered a summary judgement Monday in favor of Island Transit. Churchill included a letter with her ruling because “the court feels the need to explain its decision.” The complaint, filed on behalf of former IT employee Latroleum Lawrence, named the transit agency and former executive director Martha Rose. A phone call to Lawrence’s attorney Rodney Moody was not returned by press time. Lawrence, the only black person in the maintenance division, was fired by Rose last year. The lawsuit alleged
that Rose fired Lawrence because of his race and age. Churchill said that Lawrence was indeed fired and was replaced with someone younger who was not in a “protected class.” However, Churchill said, Lawrence’s “ongoing problems with work quality, efficiency issues and interpersonal relationships” were not disputed and ultimately justified the termination. “The facts do not support Lawrence’s own belief that he was performing satisfactory work,” Churchill said in her ruling. An administrative judge, however, did find there was no misconduct by Lawrence and granted him unemployment benefits shortly after he was fired. Lawrence met with Rose and secretly tape-recorded their conversation, but that evidence was thrown out. Lawrence said he believed
the recording showed the concerns about his performance were baseless. Rose later testified that he became irate during the meeting. Rose was the person that hired Lawrence and later promoted him to lead mechanic, Churchill pointed out in her letter. “The obvious question is why would the employer have hired a person with a certain attribute in the first place if the employer is opposed to employing persons with that attribute,” Churchill wrote. A second lawsuit against Island Transit, filed in July by the estate of a woman who died in 2011, is still awaiting judgment. The wrongful death lawsuit claims that the woman was injured in a paratransit bus after her wheelchair wasn’t secured and she later suffered a heart attack.
Osprey settled on South Whidbey South Whidbey High School’s resident osprey have happily nestled into their new nesting area. The osprey had previously nested atop one of the high school football field’s light poles. Concerned with the structural integrity of the pole as well as the potential risk the weighty nest’s location posed to both birds and humans, school district employees worked with the South Whidbey Audubon Society and Osprey Solutions to build and install a new nest pole and platform elsewhere on the field. The project was completed this spring, just in time for the birds’ homecoming. Brian Miller, maintenance director, said the birds have rebuilt their nest on
the platform. At least one bird appears to be standing guard of the nest at all times, he added, leading him to surmise they
may have laid an egg. “They took to the new nest quite readily,” Miller said. “We’re really pleased they decided to stay.”

‘Heroes’ honored for boosting community health By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Approximately 125 people gathered recently to celebrate some of Whidbey Island’s most civic-minded citizens. The evening’s event recognized the 2015 Linda Lee Martins Memorial Community Health Heroes. “That was one of the most pleasant public meetings I have ever attended,” said Adam Fawcett, who was nominated for initiating a injury-reducing fitness program at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders. “So very nicely done, so positive.” The Linda Lee Martens Memorial Community Health Hero of Island County recognizes individuals or agencies that have “directly or indirectly impacted community health.” Nominees are requested from the community and then selections are made by the county’s Community Health Advisory Board. “It’s powerful to hear the stories of our Health Heroes each year,” said Catherine Ballay, chair of the advisory board. “They’ve found so many different ways to build up our communities and the
people in them --- because they care.” Linda Lee Martins was formerly executive secretary of Island County Public Health. The award was created in her name after her death and has been presented for 15 years. “She was a wonderful lady,” said Keith Higman, Public Health director. “This is a way of providing recognition for those who wouldn’t be recognized otherwise.” A proclamation was written for each honoree and presented to them as a Certificate of Special Recognition. The 2015 Health Hero awardees are: n Personal trainer Adam Fawcett for his “Morning 10” workout at Nichols Brothers. “He reminds us that ‘sitting is the new smoking’ and declares he wants to change the way America ages.” n Retired pastor David Lura for spending hours picking up trash all over Oak Harbor. “That pastor’s heart still connects him with the people he encounters on his daily patrols.” n Cancer survivor Julie Engstrom for providing transportation and support those struggling with cancer. “It is a wonderful gift that

other career options, but the choice to join and ship out stands as a fear-defying act. Many of us could never bring ourselves to truly consider doing something so courageous. And for all those thousands of soldiers who never returned home, their gesture takes on new meaning.
What is a hero? In the classic sense, it is someone who makes a grand sacrificial gesture, a giving up of life or safety or comfort for the good of another person or a group. But isn’t it also, quite simply, a man or woman who is willing to risk safety and certainty by joining the military services? True, sometimes that is done out of financial need or lack of

Letters to the editor are a celebration of freedom of speech PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
When you don’t agree with another person’s opinions, it can be a bitter pill to swallow. But nobody ever said freedom of speech was always palatable. That’s often apparent when a letter to the editor addressing the jet noise issue appears in the Opinon pages of the Whidbey News-Times. The stakes are high and emotions run deep on both sides of the issue. I have received emails and phone calls from Navy supporters saying it appears the newspaper is favoring the anti-jet noise group, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, because it seems more of their letters are published. Their presumption is that there’s a large stack of pro-jet letters awaiting publication. Nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve also received emails and phone calls from COER members and others bothered by the jet noise saying it’s clear that the newspaper is in the pro-jet, pro-noise corner, and there certainly must be a stack of anti-noise letters we’re not running. Again, not the case. As I explained to a very irate and emotional caller this week, nearly every letter the newspaper receives is published. If it’s signed by the writer, includes a city of residence and a contact telephone number, and isn’t libelous or an unnecessary personal attack, it runs. One of the things I appreciate most and never take for granted about News-Times readers is their involvement in local matters and a willingness to speak their minds on a bevy of issues via letters to the editor. Apathy can be toxic for a community. It’s true that not all letters get in right away. Sometimes space is an issue, or there might be questions about the letter that need answered by the writer before it can print. Because the Opinion page is one of the most valued and sacred sections of any real newspaper, issues letters receive priority for publication. Local writers receive priority over non-local writers. Long lists of “thank yous” may remain in the queue for a while. A list of business names in a letter may not run at all — that basically equates to free advertising in most sacred section in any real newspaper, the Opinion pages. To be clear, whether or not I or anyone on the editorial staff agrees with any letter matters not one bit. The objective of publishing letters is to create and facilitate a community conversation. Withholding any letter to the editor because I disagree with the opinion runs counter to my journalistic ethics and beliefs. It doesn’t happen. We welcome your letters on a variety of issues. The rules are simple; Sign them. Tell us your city of residence. Include a contact phone number for verification purposes. Focus on the issues and not on people or personalities. And keep celebrating freedom of speech.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Riders
Driving a motorcycle doesn’t make you bad Editor, With the recent bad publicity regarding motorcycle gangs, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Riders would like to share some good news. While we are not a club or a group, we are the VFW Riders, Chapter 1, Washington state. We proudly wear a Maltese Cross and Veterans of Foreign Wars name, and our motives are very basic. We are here to help veterans. Most of the rides we make are for charity causes, veterans and civilians alike. In the past year and a half, we earned and donated $2,000 to the Opportunity Council alone for use by Whidbey veterans only. Additionally, we donated hundreds of dollars in goods — laundry soap, clothing, toiletries, etc. — for the Opportunity Council to use for vets, to assist them in their quest for employment, housing and other needs as the agency sees fit. Have you passed by a cemetery lately and seen a line of riders stand-
ing tall with American flags? That’s us. And a group of other riders called the Patriot Guard helps veteran’s families in their time of need. If requested, we’ll escort the family members to the ceremonies. We ride to fight cancer, promote Ryan’s House, SeaTac USO, Make-A-Wish Foundation and much more. Our reputation for helping has led to requests for us to participate in far more parades and fundraisers than we could possibly attend. We led the annual Autumn Leaf Festival in Leavenworth, participated in the Auburn Veterans Day Parade, the largest Veterans Parade on the West Coast and, of course, parades in Oak Harbor and Coupeville. The Riders participated in the Coupeville Water Festival by picking up the trash. We had four wheels there. Earlier this year, the Riders were instrumental in arranging and presenting the Order of St. Barbara Award to a 94-year-old veteran for his service to the artillery community during World War II. It may not seem like much, but it was an interstate effort originating in Texas and culminating with 20-plus bikers in full garb and an Army staff
sergeant in full military dress uniform pulling into a residence in a quiet Anacortes neighborhood. It was a touching and fulfilling event. Our Riders are responsible for the majority of the work on the soonto-be dedicated Washington-staterecognized Veterans Memorial at our Post on Goldie Road. Swing by and take a look. The soldier silhouettes, cross and service flags make a beautiful setting for the personalized memorial bricks being installed as you read this. Our fundraising activities included “violent” activities like s Ice Cream Socials, Twister Grudge Matches and the You Tube Famous Fight Night, during which not a mark was left. Our next fundraiser is a pancake breakfast March 31 at Applebee’s. Buy a ticket and join us. In closing, don’t think that just because someone is riding a motorcycle and wearing a vest with patches, that your life is in danger or that they must be up to no good. There’s a lot of good riders out there. We’re proud to be some of them. Skip Johnson Myron Brundage Fritz Ratcliffe

were friends with, or saw Paul around town. Paul was very active in the Oak Harbor social scene, from the Whidbey Whirlers square dancing club, to the singles club, to his daily trip to ‘splash around’ in the Oak Harbor pool, joining in water aerobics and socializing with his friends in the hot tub. He loved his many “pool” friends. A trip to Kmart was never quick, as he would run into friend after friend to stop and say hello. Paul loved buzzing around town in his Miata convertible, and you could often find him taking long walks along the path at City Beach. Paul’s favorite hobby was dancing, bringing a smile to his face and everyone around him. If there was a dance floor, he was on it, from the Whidbey Whirlers events, to the gazebo at Windjammer park, every dance club on cruise ships, even his own living
room. Dad taught himself the Macarena, the Electric Slide and the Hustle. Cruising was Paul’s favorite pastime, likely due to the multitude of dance floor options on each ship, from the ship deck to the jazz club, big band, latin, and nightclub. Besides his three daughters, he often had a line of women waiting to cut in. Paul is remembered by all as kind, sweet, very funny and always a gentleman. Paul is survived by his brother Gus Lindgren, children Eric Naegle, Ted and Laura (Lindgren) Houck, Susan Lindgren, Kjel and Bonnie (Lindgren) Hanson, eight grandchildren, Caroline Barelli, Corey, Christina, Kyle and Katie Houck, Brianna, Chase and Ashley Hanson, and a host of friends and family who love and miss him…but are happy to know he is tearing up the dance floor in heaven.

Elsa Diaz Cullinan
Elsa Diaz Cullinan, age 53, longtime Oak Harbor resident, passed peacefully into the arms of Our Lord, at her home on Saturday, May 9, 2015, following a lengthy battle with cancer. Elsa was born on July 3, 1961, in Butuan City, Mindanao, the Philippines, to Carlos M. Diaz and Cresencia M. Balaba. She graduated from San Juan Comprehensive School in 1978 and moved to Subic Bay, where in 1981 she met her future husband, Mark. She followed him to Lemoore, Calif., where they were married in 1983. They welcomed their only child, a daughter, Jessica Lynne, in November 1986. The family lived there until Mark transferred to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1989. Elsa was a stay-at-home mom until her daughter was of school age, whereupon she took employment outside the home. She was employed by the NAS BEQ, the Navy Exchange and Technical Ser vices Inc. During this period she became a naturalized U.S. citizen. Most recently, she was employed by Idex Health and Science, where she just celebrated her 15-year anniversary. She
worked in many departments at Idex over the years but had spent the last few as an Ismatec Operator. She loved her job and the special friendships she developed with her coworkers there. During her free time she enjoyed camping; vacations anywhere, especially Hawaii; the Christmas holidays; her monthly Bunco get-togethers; and, of course, shopping. She could always find a bargain. Elsa is survived by her husband Mark at home in Oak Harbor; her daughter Jessica from Seattle; her brother Maximo in the Philippines; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. In addition she leaves her beagle Snickers. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Pia and her brother Julito, as well as her beloved beagle Sassy. The family wishes to say a special thank you to Whidbey Hospice, especially to Chris Carpenter, whose kindness and support in Elsa’s last days were comforting both to her and her family. A Memorial and Celebration of Life is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 30, at Family Bible Church, 2760 Heller Rd, Oak Harbor. Interment will follow at a later date.

close friends. Ginny was born in Hebbronville, Texas, on June 21, 1937, to Fritz and Edna Yates Vollmering. She graduated from Hebbronville High School and went on to earn a music degree in college. Shortly thereafter she married Alan L. Weeks Sr. Ginny accomplished many things in her life. Among them were wife to Naval Officer Capt. Alan L. Weeks Sr., executive legal secretary, artist, teacher, “adopted” mother and cherished friend to many. Among her many talents, Ginny enjoyed helping others, painting, cooking, a good laugh, old movies and her dogs Chui and Kona, the “Dogzillas.” Ginny requested no funeral services but instead have her ashes cast upon the wind in a private family ceremony from atop Mount Erie. The family wishes to express our gratitude for all the kind wishes of sympathy and encouragement expressed to us throughout this trying time. Our sincere thanks.

This is a good habit to have. Coupeville High School senior Christine Fields qualified for her fourth consecutive state golf tournament by winning the District 3 1A tournament Tuesday at Bremerton’s Golf Mountain Golf Course. Oak Harbor also had four athletes qualify for state golf. Marisa Sligh, Resego Mooki and Hailey Beecher will play in the 3A girls tournament at Richland’s Horn Rapids Golf Course, and Steven Timm will compete in the 3A boys tournament at Kennewick’s Canyon Lake Golf Course. Fields heads to the Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco for the girls 1A tournament. All of the tournaments will be Wednesday and Thursday, May 27 and 28.

Curtin qualifies for state By JIM WALLER Sports editor
For the second time this year, Coupeville High School’s Aaron Curtin finished second in the District 3 singles tennis tournament and earned a trip to the state tournament. Curtin earned the state slot by defeating Vashon Island’s Steen Jennings 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 Wednesday at Charles Wright Academy in University Place. In the girls district tournament, Coupeville’s Jacki Ginnings and Valen Trujillo lost in the semifinals and were eliminated. Only the district champion earned a state berth. Curtin believed he qualified for state when he finished second at district at the end of the boys season in October. A mix-up on the rules of the tournament necessitated another match for Curtin this week.
Curtin defeated Jennings in the semifinals in October and then lost in the finals to place second --- or so he thought. A closer look at the rules for October’s tournament revealed a different format than usual and dictated Curtin and Jennings meet again. With Curtin winning the rematch, he earned his second trip to state. Last year he qualified in doubles with then-senior Ben Etzell. Schools in Washington have the option of playing boys tennis in the fall or spring; Coupeville plays in the fall. The state tournament is in the spring after both seasons have been completed. Senior Ginnings fell 6-0, 6-1 to eventual champion Alexis Schorno of Charles Wright. Sophomore Trujillo lost 6-1, 6-2 to Vashon Island’s Taryn Mulvihill.

Fueled by strong second rounds, the three Oak Harbor girls qualified for next week’s state championships by placing in the top 19 at the Northwest District 3A tournament Tuesday and Wednesday at Stanwood’s Kayak Point Golf Course. Sligh finished 10th (195 strokes), Mooki 14th (200) and Beecher 19th (205) in the 13-team field. Beecher earned her spot by winning a three-way playoff for the final berth. Mooki missed out on going to state last year when a putt lipped out on a playoff hole. Ana Maria Beall of Meadowdale earned medalist honors with a two-day total of 181. All three Oak Harbor golfers improved their positions in the tournament from where they stood after the tournament’s opening round Tuesday. Going into Wednesday, Sligh (102) was 19th, Mooki (101) 17th and Beecher (107) 25th.
Timm rallies Timm jumped past five golfers on the second day of the District 1 3A boys golf tournament, which was played at Marysville’s Battle Creek Golf Course Monday and Tuesday, to earn a trip to the state finals. The top 17 finishers at district qualified for state, and Timm sat in 20th with an 86 after the first round. He fired an 81 Tuesday to leap to 15th. “He played really well the second day,” coach David Smith said. “He didn’t make any big mistakes and just had a lot of grind-out pars.” Things didn’t go nearly as well for senior Mason Dieter. Dieter was in sixth with a 79 after the opening round but ballooned to a 92 the second day and missed the cut by two strokes. “Mason had one really bad hole, and I think he had a tough time coming back from that,” Smith said. “Then he just had some unlucky breaks during the round.” Three other Oak Harbor seniors were within five strokes of the top 17 after round one but couldn’t rally to secure a state berth. Raiden Poe shot 174 (87, 87), Ben Fikse 177 (89, 88) and Aaron Kelley 178 (90, 88). The cut off for state was 169.

AnnaBelle Whitefoot returns a shot at district Wednesday.
Oak Harbor High School junior AnnaBelle Whitefoot placed fourth in the District 1 3A singles tennis tournament Tuesday and Wednesday in Arlington. Although Whitefoot missed earning a berth in the state tournament by one spot, she proved the “experts” wrong by posting a series of upsets. Whitefoot was seeded ninth in the Wesco North, then stormed through the divisional tournament to place third. In the district tournament, which featured the top four finishers from Wesco’s North and South, Whitefoot added another upset while winning two of four matches. In Whitefoot’s third district match, she upset the North’s No. 2 seed in a two-anda-half hour tussle, then lost the match for third place to the North’s No. 1 seed. After the long earlier match, Whitefoot “did not have the energy left” to pull off another upset in the contest for third place, coach Horace Mells said.

Above: Jada Miller (left) and Emma Zamarripa, both fourth graders at Hillcrest Elementary, are training younger students how to care for the worms and gather scientific data. Below: Jada Miller chats with the chickens as she tosses out feed last week.
Hillcrest touted for green initiative By DEBRA VAUGHN Staff reporter
Jada Miller can tell you about worms. She can tell you how many segments are in their bodies and what happens if — oops — your garden shovel cuts one in half. She can tell you how to turn a simple wooden box into a black gold compost factory and what worms like to eat. Even at 10 years old, Jada and many of her classmates can tell you quite a bit about not just vermiculture and composting, but gardening, recycling and even live poultry care. That’s thanks to an innovative green push at Hillcrest Elementary that’s getting kids educated about environmentally-sound practices and giving them a chance to do scientific research that’s shared with agencies, including the state Department of Ecology. In the past several years, the school has transformed a courtyard into a garden with raised beds for veggies and flowers, worms bins, rain barrels and an outdoor classroom. Another courtyard is the home of a flock of chickens. Those chickens, by the way, are big-time celebrities. The chickens are visible through a bank of windows in a bustling school hallway. They have names like Clover, Lucky and Paddy. When anyone comes close to the window, the chickens rush over. The school is recognized as a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School, one of 35 elementary schools nationally to receive the designation. Island County also recently gave the school a Health Hero Award. This project goes far beyond planting seeds and feeding chickens. Most of the teachers at Hillcrest incorporate the garden, chickens and worms into the curriculum.
Sometimes the garden serves as a quiet place to write or becomes the subject of a school writing assignment. Students also collect data on the vermiculture project, recording how much waste from the cafeteria is fed to the worms and how many pounds of nutrient-rich castings are produced. They record the data and upload it onto computer notebooks to share.
The castings get incorporated into the school garden beds. Very hungry worms in the school’s first bin ate more than 1,000 pounds of scraps from the cafeteria. So the school added a second bin, and worms have since munched hundreds of pounds more waste. Fourth grade teacher Jodi Crimmins is excited her students are conducting real research and sharing it. “They are just going for it,” she said. “They are inspired.” The older students are teaching the younger ones. Jada Miller picked up a notebook filled with data and observations on a worm bin recorded by third graders she’s training. She giggled. “I love looking at this,” she said, and pointed to an entry by her younger charges about the worm bins. They recorded seeing “rollie pollie” bugs and “peep moss.” Jada figures they meant “peat moss.” “The complete ownership of learning is on the students,” said Principal Paula Seaman. “It is actually the most empowering thing I have seen in my 25 years in education.” Students also made commitments to do things like pick up trash, turn off lights and recycle. They’re bringing those lessons home — whether parents like it or not. Emma Zamarripa, 10, encouraged her dad to start separating glass and the like from the trash for recycling. “He didn’t like that at first because he had to separate the stuff and take it out of the house,” she said. But now her family does, although Emma said her dad assigned somebody else the job: her brother.
The artist for May-June in City Hall is RAINY LINDELL. Lindell began her lifelong adventure with art after being encouraged by her seventh-grade art teacher. She loves to paint atmosphere and wildlife. She lived in Seattle for many years. After moving to Coupeville in 1994, she became a member of several co-op galleries on the island. Besides Oak Harbor City Hall, you may see her work in Penn Cove Gallery. She is a member of Whidbey Allied Artists.

STRUGGLE CONTINUED FROM A1
some questioned why officials couldn’t have done something. It’s difficult for county officials to do much about problem properties, Wechner said. The biggest challenge is money. In almost every case, owners need to haul away junk cars, garbage, boats, hazardous materials and the like. That takes manpower, trucks and the dollars to pay for disposal fees. Often, the reason the property falls into bad condition to begin with is because the owner doesn’t have means to take care of it. People can become “overwhelmed by the effort required to clean up or even
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
maintain the property,” said Wechner. “In a lot of cases, resources are zero,” said John Clark, who works on code compliance for the county. “No vehicle, no money and no way to clean up their property.” While the county has rules that address problems on properties, officials have little power to make people fix the problem. In extreme cases, county officials can clean up a property, place a lien on the land and refer the case for possible civil or criminal action. That rarely happens. The county usually gets stuck with the bill -- more accurately, the taxpayer does. Property owners often can’t pay and the money is rarely if ever recouped by placing a lien on the land,
Wechner said. That’s because it may take years for the land to be sold, there may not be any equity left in the property and if there is, the county is one of the last in line to get it. Instead, the county tries to work with the owner to solve the problem, not collect fines, Wechner said. That tends to yield better results. In one instance, an Island County property accumulated thousands of dollars in fines. An elderly woman lives on the property and didn’t have the means to deal with the junk stacked around the house. Family members stepped in and spent tens of thousands of dollars helping

her clean it up. The county dropped the lien “because compliance had been achieved,” Wechner said. “And in many cases once compliance is gained and the pressure to comply is off, the tenant or owner returns to old habits,” Wechner said. There are resources available to help indigent property owners including a half-off dump pass provided by the Opportunity Council and nonprofits such as Hearts and Hammers, which helps rehabilitate homes. People have a legal right to live as they wish inside their homes. The health department only steps in when a

fix the problem — or just not pay. Other cities clean up the property and send the owner a bill. If the bill isn’t paid, a lien is placed on the property. The problem with that approach is it requires a hefty start up fund to pay for the clean up, Higman said. In Oak Harbor, Mayor Scott Dudley put a special emphasis on code enforcement a few years ago after the aftermath of the recession left a lot of foreclosed and abandoned homes. If an owner won’t cooperate, the city contracts with a business to clean up the property, then files a lien to recoup the cost.

property becomes a threat to the greater public health such as when improperly stored chemicals might seep into groundwater or someone is dumping garbage on their property, said Keith Higman, director of the Island County Public Health Department. “If someone is hoarding items within their home, that’s not a public health issue,” he said. The Health Department used to issue tickets with a monetary fine, much as a police officer would issue a parking ticket. But the fines at $75 weren’t enough, Higman said. People would often pay the fine and not

NAS WHIDBEY CONTINUED FROM A1 Current construction at the base, and work planned in the near future, “is setting the foundation for the next 30 to 40 years of naval operations,” Nortier told an audience attending his State of the Station address at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce monthly members’ forum. In addition to protecting the United States, he said, NAS Whidbey is crucial in preserving commerce in the Pacific region and the ability to conduct transit in the Pacific. And that’s why the anti-submarine P-3 Orions — which will eventually be replaced by the P-8A Poseidon — will see squadron numbers increase on Whidbey from three to six over the next several years. “Where else are we going to put them in a better position?” Nortier asked. Nortier also talked about NAS Whidbey’s near perfect location for training fliers in “unencumbered” air space. With about 39,000 square miles of area to practice in, the region offers diverse terrain. That includes areas over water and the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. To prevent ever having to share that space with commercial and other aircraft, Nortier said, “We set aside those air spaces with the FAA 40 years ago.” “Whidbey Island is an invaluable gem for the Navy and the national defense.” The base’s presence also benefits the public in ways not often noticed, he said. NAS Whidbey provides radar services in the region for civilian traffic, for example, for aircraft arriving and departing Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. About half of NAS Whidbey’s operations have nothing to do with the military, he said. Outlying Field Coupeville is a strategically important site for the Navy, Nortier said. The runway very closely represents an aircraft carrier, and there’s very little “light pollu-
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
tion” in the area, he said. “It offers one of the best training assets we have here.” OLF Coupeville is the target for a Central Whidbey group suing to stop touch-and-go landing practices by the EA-18G Growler, which is replacing the EA-6B Prowler. In April, the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, filed a motion in Federal Court asking a judge to rule that the aircraft be forced to stop using OLF Coupeville until the Navy completes an Environmental Impact Statement. The EIS isn’t slated to be completed until 2017. COER members claim the Growler is louder than the EA-6B and has caused some of its members to suffer hearing loss and health problems and to deflate property values. “Definitely when the aircraft are flying over, you’re going to hear them,” Nortier told the chamber audience., adding the Navy strives to minimize the impact on citizens. When OLF Coupeville is closed to landing practices, the result is aircraft “stack up” at Ault Field on North Whidbey, the Navy’s primary runway on the island. It also forces the aircraft to practice in other areas that aren’t typically under the flight path. During 2014, NAS Whidbey’s Search and Rescue conducted 18 rescues, 10 medivacs and seven searches, and eight medicvacs, two rescues and one search so far this year. SAR was among the first responders on scene after the devastating landslide in Oso in March 2014. Among the more than $21 million in capital improvement projects either underway or planned for the base are a future P-8A simulator that will be operational by July 2016 and an $8 million fuel pier breakwater, Nortier said. Last year, $105 million was spent adapting hangars on base to accommodate the larger tail of the P-8As. Approximately 70 percent of the work on projects at the base go to local subcontractors such as Kreig Construction, according to the base’s figures. Infrastructure at NAS Whidbey is valued at more than $1.7 billion.

CONTINUED FROM A1 worry the City Council,” Dudley said. “They’ve never listened to me anyway.” PAGGAO IS acting in Dudley’s stead as mayor protem. He leads council meetings, signs documents and appears at community events in place of the mayor. But he’s not at city hall overseeing the day-to-day running of the city. The issue came to a head during Tuesday’s council meeting. The council wanted more information about temporarily moving a cityowned RV park to the marina. The city is considering using the area for staging heavy equipment and other materials for the treatment plant project. The park brings in about $80,000 a year and draws RVers who spend dollars downtown. Councilman Joel Servatius previously asked city staff for the basics on what it would take to temporarily move the RV park to the marina. The issue was on the council’s agenda, but when it came time to talk about the matter, city staff didn’t have any answers. WHAT FOLLOWED was a 45-minute exchange with council members pressing City Administrator Larry Cort for answers. “I guess I’m confused as to where the presentation is,” Councilwoman Tara Hizon said. “We haven’t heard a peep since it was brought up. What is going on?”
Cort told the council he didn’t have the information and would talk to the mayor about providing it. Cort suggested the council call the mayor at home. Councilman Rick Almberg tried to make a motion directing the mayor to have city staff prepare information about an RV park at the marina. The city attorney said that’s not legal because the City Council “can’t direct the mayor” and it’s the mayor’s job to direct city staff. City Council instead unanimously passed a motion stating the council has a “strong preference” for the city to prepare more information about moving the RV park to the marina. “I want the public to know this council is making every effort to minimize the cost on this plant and to reduce negative impacts,” Almberg said. “And this would be a negative impact.” City administrator Cort didn’t return calls from the Whidbey News-Times. PART OF the problem may be that city staffers are afraid of losing their jobs, Councilman Bob Severns said Wednesday. Dudley fired multiple city administrators, including the police chief when he took office. “Staff may be afraid to tell us,” Severns said. During a phone interview Thursday, the mayor contended it’s the City

Council members who are the ones not “hungry for information” and out of touch with taxpayers. “(The Council is) going to push this down the citizens’ throats whether they want it or not,” he said. The mayor called a temporary RV park at the marina “insane” and a “terrible idea” because it may cost too much to run utilities to the site. He also said most RVers don’t want to stay in a parking lot next to a fence. He added he disagrees with another council decision Tuesday to tear down the former Whidbey Island Bank building. The building will be razed after the new sewage treatment plant is built adjacent to it. THE CITY will eventually need a larger library and the bank building might have been an option, he said, adding it doesn’t make any sense to replace a property that generates tax dollars for the city with a parking lot. The city previously announced that the RV park would likely close in early July, but the closing date is now sometime in the fall. That and other details about temporarily relocating the park need to be decided soon so people can make reservations, Almberg said. The RV decision is important but it’s also a distraction from larger decisions about the sewage treatment plant that need to be made in coming months, Almberg added. The mayor’s lack of leadership is harming that process, he said. The mayor has the authority to delegate his responsibilities to the city administrator or other department heads so “normal business can continue without further delay,” Almberg said. “Right now is the most important time to manage this facility,” Almberg said. “There has to be leadership.”

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN AND AQUARIUS.
Week of May 24 to 30, 2015 ARIES
Your week starts with the discovery that you have a mountain of work to do. However, the work gives you a sense of security that helps you see things in a more positive light.
TAURUS
A rather special event may take you out of your comfort zone. This helps you outdo yourself in realizing a brilliant achievement.
GEMINI
There’s no need to go far to find perfect happiness. Home and family are your reason for living these days, so don’t hesitate to gather all your loved ones together over a good meal.
CANCER
You’re seen as a person with a lot of punch. You’re able to make the necessary changes when a situation no longer suits you.
LEO
You’re a fundamentally passionate person, so you need a constant emotional connection with your lover, even if you’re both very independent people.
VIRGO
Action is your trademark; nobody could ever describe you as all talk, no action. If you’re moving in the near future, you start packing boxes.
C A R
LIBRA
You don’t let yourself be discouraged easily, despite an accumulation of fatigue and lack of energy. You take drastic steps to regain your vigour.
PUZZLE NO. 769
23.Barren 24.Mowed 25.Buck 26.Pinch 27.Twig 29.Amigo 30.Gallery showing 31.Earth’s upper atmosphere 34.Least binding 37.Had a fight of honor 39.“____ Are My Sunshine”
SCORPIO
You may have some friends that you can’t fully trust. With this influence, you’ll be able to see more clearly which are the profiteers and parasites among them.
SAGITTARIUS
You’re a very enterprising person by nature and you’re open to the challenge of starting up some new projects, each one more stimulating than the next.
CAPRICORN
The desire to travel could take hold of you unexpectedly and so you consult your travel agent to make sure you have a perfect vacation this summer.
AQUARIUS
You feel quite emotional for one reason or another. The need for change seems overwhelming right now. Some new clothes or a new hairstyle will do the trick.
PISCES
Your morale won’t always be at its highest, but you can take the initiative to gather around you a few people you like and get involved in some exciting activities together.
