Ousted IT director won’t face charges Ask for overpayment back, Almberg suggests By JESSIE STENSLAND
jstensland@whidbeynewsgroup.com
ROSE
A Washington State Patrol investigation into the former director of Island Transit didn’t uncover any criminal wrongdoing, the Island County prosecutor concluded.
But Prosecutor Greg Banks calculates that former IT director Martha Rose was overpaid by nearly $7,000 as part of her separation agreement. He said the agency probably can’t do anything to recoup the money because the board of directors ratified the payout amount as part of the settlement. “There’s nothing that can be done about it now,” Banks said. Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg, however, offered a suggestion.

Transit board uncertain about iffy state funds By JESSIE STENSLAND
jstensland@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Uncertainties about a $2.3-million state grant has led to uncertainties about the future of the only bus route off Whidbey Island. Whether or not it will end — only to restart again — depends on when Island Transit officials can get their hands on $2.3 million in state funds designated for the route. As it stands now, the two 411 routes that connect Whidbey and Camano islands with Skagit County will end Aug. 3 because state funds are running out. But the board could decide to keep the route going — to effectively cancel the route cancellation — if staff members can get the answers by the regular meeting of July 24. The routes are vital to many Island County residents who use them to get to work, medical appointments and government services in Skagit County and beyond. ISLAND TRANSIT’S Board of Directors held a workshop Monday to discuss several ongoing issues, including the fate of the routes, collectively known as the tri-county connectors. State Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, and Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, recently came to the rescue with $2.3 million to restore the route as part of a transportation project bill. Both the Senate and House passed the bill with the funding intact. The governor is set to sign it on Wednesday. SEE IFFY FUNDING, A9

Island County Habitat joins forces with Oak Harbor company to build home By RON NEWBERRY

Melissa Brown is all smiles at the construction site in Oak Harbor where Habitat for Humanity of Island County is building her a home with help from IDEX Health & Science.
s the walls went up, so did Melissa Brown’s spirits. She wore a perpetual smile and seemed almost in a daze as she watched the framework of a dream start coming together Saturday. “Wow,” she said, staring at the wooden
skeleton of new construction. “This is so cool.” Brown, a 33-year-old single mother of two young children, has never owned a home before. Yet by the end of the year, she and her children will be moving into their new house in Oak Harbor built by Habitat for Humanity of Island County and its mostly volunteer workforce. The three-bedroom residence is one of
four Habitat for Humanity homes being built on Lateen Street. What makes the Brown project unique is that an Oak Harbor company has essentially adopted the family. IDEX Health & Science is partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Island County on the home project. IDEX donated $10,000 toward home SEE HABITAT HOME, A10

or Carol Sele, yoga has been more than a livelihood and exercise regime; it has proven to be transformative. Sele, owner of UnsizeMe hot and warm yoga studio in Oak Harbor, began practicing as a teenager, after studiously examining the images in her mother’s yoga book. “It has transformed my life,” Sele said. “I was pretty much a Type-A personality,” she said, joking to fellow instructor Amy Brinkley. “I bet you can’t even picture me as a Type-A personality.” As an adult, Sele dedicated her life to healing, working as a massage therapist and, in 2002, began her career as a yoga instructor. Sele is also the founder of Whidbey Island’s YogaFest, which will commence its third year from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Saturday, July 25, at Fort Nugent Park. Hundreds are expected to gather for the festival. It is also an opportunity for beginners to observe or try their hand at some poses in a casual environment, alongside experienced practitioners.
Sele, Brinkley and manager Ally Jyothi Behne noted the rewarding experience of seeing students benefit from the practice they so enjoy. “I see them transform every time they walk out of the studio, every time they practice,” said Sele. “You can see the peace that they’re experiencing,” said Brinkley. One of the instructors will present a yoga demonstration prior to the group class during the festival, in order to introduce newcomers to basics. “We really want kids and grandparents to start coming,” Sele said. New this year will be an assortment of hula hoops for children — and kids at heart — to play with. As in years past, the festival will also include a live music performance and a free raffle with prizes donated from multiple community members and businesses. Lotus Tea Bar and Studio of Oak Harbor and Maya Shakti Yoga and Wellness Center of Anacortes will also be participating, as will a local chiropractor. Admission to YogaFest is free with a donation of a canned food item. The food will be donated to Help House.
Growler flights at Coupeville Outlying Field are harming human health, and they can’t wait for the conclusion of the EIS in 2017. While the hearing is expected to conclude by noon, it’s not clear if the judge will immediately deliv-
er a decision. In court documents, Navy attorneys said the request should be denied because any injuries don’t rise to the level of “irreparable harm” and that halting flights would hurt Navy operations and national security.

OH Christian School Greenbank Farm managers plan meeting enrolling students By MEGAN HANSEN
mhansen@whidbeynewsgroup.com
By DEBRA VAUGHN
dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Oak Harbor Christian School is keeping its doors open. Last month, the school’s board of trustees told parents that declining enrollment would force the school to eliminate classes for students in second through eighth grade. A push by a determined group of parents is keeping the school open for grades preschool through fifth grade. Nor th Whidbey Christian High School will absorb the middle school students who enroll. The high school is run by different leadership, but held in the same building. “It is amazing,” said Laura James, a board of trustees member. “It’s because of the faith and the efforts of the parents. They know how important it is to keep this school open and running.” Parents held fundraisers and encouraged families to enroll their children. They also set up a sponsorship program for churches to support children whose families can’t afford the $5,500 annual tuition. “We are all working towards a common goal, and that is to provide a quality education to our children,” said Karey SmisekBachman, one of the parents who worked to keep the school open. “As a parent, it’s a huge relief, knowing I will not have to put my kids into a
new school. But enrollment and parent participation are essential to the continued success of the school.” The school has served families in Oak Harbor for more than 75 years. The school is the largest Christian school in the city, at its height serving more than 200 students. In recent years, enrollment dropped. Last year, 70 students enrolled. The school still isn’t at full strength, and parents and the board hope this extra year will give them time to develop a more sustainable, long-term strategy. The board met with parents Monday to discuss plans, including more aggressive marketing, James said. “We need to do a better job of putting the word out into the community,” she said. The principal and two teachers lost their jobs last month. David Zylstra, a principal for 24 years at the school, won’t be coming back. But the board is hiring two teachers. The school’s former principal attributed the drop in enrollment to a combination of factors, including a shift toward more Christian families choosing to homeschool their children and the economy. Parents interested in enrolling their children can do so by appointment at 360-675-2831 or by emailing ohcs@oakharbor.net

The Greenbank Farm community is still reeling from the 2-1 vote by the Port of Coupeville last week to terminate negotiations with the Greenbank Farm Management Group. “Last week’s action from the port came as a shock,” said Judy Feldman, executive director for the management group. “Tenants were just as blindsided.” The management group’s next move is contingent on how the port decides to move forward, said Feldman. Meanwhile, the management group is holding a public meeting, 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, July 15, at the farm. “Primarily, we just want to give people basic information,” Feldman said. “When there’s heightened fear, things tend to get blown out of proportion.” “We want to provide the community with a platform to ask questions.” The reasons cited by port commissioners at the meeting are not based

save money.” David Day, executive director for the Port of Coupeville, said Monday the motion was a bold move by Carr. Since the meeting, Day said, most of the response the port received is positive toward the decision. And while there is no plan, or even framework in place, Day said he is looking into ideas on how to proceed and will hopefully have something to present at next month’s meeting. “The port has a duty to look at as many opportunities and options it can to move forward,” Day said. “There’s a lot of stuff left up in the air. We have some time and there is some money to work with.” The port and management group will honor its current contract through the end of the year. On Jan. 1, 2016 the port will assume all management control. This comes after months of negotiations between both parties. A draft contract was being reviewed by lawyers and was expected to be ready in August.

Island artist turns heads with chainsaw pieces By ANDREA BROWN abrown@heraldnet.com
This isn’t a “what’s up with that?” column. It’s a “what the hell’s up with that guy?” That’s what chain saw artist Steve Backus says people wonder when driving by his gated four-acre compound along a woodsy road in Clinton. A motley mix of carved faces, figures and signs line a fence the length of a football field. A giant pierced ear here and blue teddy bear there. A cowboy in red long johns. “It’s a couple 300 feet, and I’m not done yet,” Backus said. “The fence is a very good example of an artist with attention deficit disorder. ADD run amok. It’s a strength, not a weakness, as it turns out.” Drivers brake to ponder the strange gallery that suddenly appears in the forest. “It’s like this hillbilly hideout and I look like a friggin’ Sasquatch,” Backus said. “There’s been more than one time I walked out the gate when someone’s looking at the fence and they take off. If the gate is open, only the very brave enter.” No reason to fear him, though. “I’m a gregarious person,” he said, “even though sometimes I might be carrying a chain saw or packing a tool of some sort.” Backus, 55, has carved for 40 years. His mom, Judy McVay, is also a chain saw artist. So are his brothers, sister, uncles, cousins and daughter. “It’s a real indigenous folk art,” he said. “A lot of this stuff isn’t necessarily fine art, but it’s cool. It has its roots in roadside carving.” Backus first took to screwing misfit carvings to the fence about 20 years ago. “I really started doing it a lot more adamantly five or six years ago. Basically I was

Backus is a chainsaw artist and has decorated the outside of his property with his eclectic artwork. standing here on a sunny day and the screw gun happened to be charged up and I happened to have some screws and I started going crazy,” he said. “I thought it looked pretty cool and apparently everybody else thought it is pretty cool. We get what we call ‘fence watchers’ all the time. I can tell by how they are driving by. It’s like, ‘Oh, what the hell’s this? Oh, that guy has a sense of humor. Oh, (expletive), look at that!’ ” The fence has castoff carvings from family and friends. Not all make the cut. Only those that are “fenceworthy,” as he put it. “Being a folk artist, there’s a lot of experimentation going on,” he said. “Some of this stuff, you get a cool idea but it’s got to cater to someone’s thoughts, which is why we see so many bears. Everybody can figure out what to do with a little bear. Bears pay the
bills. Bears are buying the food. They’re paying for the gas and the electricity.” Bears sell better than, say, ears. The giant lobe is from a stump that was riddled with bolts. “When I cut the hunk of wood off the stump I thought, ‘What the hell can I make with this?’ because I didn’t want to throw it away. Then I probably saw somebody with a bunch of piercings. I couldn’t sell it and it’s heavy and I kept packing it around.” It was proclaimed as fenceworthy. The fence isn’t a marketplace. “People say, ‘Do you sell the stuff on the fence?’ Some of it is dear to me that my friends have made and are like snapshots of time,” he said. That stuff is not for sale. “Some is crap that I take to shows and I can’t sell and eventually get sick of loading them, so on the fence she goes,” he said. These you can

buy, if you can find him. “I am not a gallery that is open on a regular basis. By appointment only, unless they catch me in the open.” It happens. “I sold a bear to a guy on a 10-speed who came by one time,” he said. The grounds used to be home to a sawmill where he worked as a teen. He nabbed it 30 years ago when it came up for sale. “When you’re a chain saw carver you have all these logs and trucks and tools,” he said.
“I made a deal and bought the place and raised the kids. Some pretty good kids, too. My daughter can grab a chain saw and slap a carving out. She brings that feminine touch to it. Lot of flowers and butterflies.” Backus carved stumps in people’s yards for 30 years. “Hundreds and hundreds of them.” In early years, he’d sell carvings by Lake Union, near where MOHAI is now. This fall will be his 40th year at the Washington State Fair

About Memory Care and Alzheimer’s Disease
“I Feel So Guilty” When asked to describe the emotions associated with caring for a loved one with memory loss, the most common response is: “I feel so guilty.” Caregivers feel guilty for: things that happened in the past; the unusual behavior of their loved one; losing their temper; resenting the caregiving responsibilities; and so much more. Some of
these guilty feelings are small while others center around critical issues. The trouble with guilt feelings is that, if left unaddressed, they can interfere with healthy, effective decision making. Recognizing the guilt that surrounds caring for a loved one with memory loss can help keep it in perspective, allowing the caregiver to be more objective in their daily interactions with their loved one. Here are some things you can do to help keep your guilt in perspective: • Recognize the feelings for what they are. When the source of guilty feelings are recognized they become manageable. • Identify how the feelings of guilt are affecting your decision-making. • Don’t second guess the decisions that you make. • Don’t expect to be perfect. It is common to feel resentful, angry and lonely at times. Accept these feelings as normal and don’t feel guilty. • Seek help from professionals and support groups. You need outside support and guidance to keep perspective. Above all remember, you are doing the very best job that you can. Give yourself credit for all that you do.
in Puyallup. He organizes competitions around the region and invites visiting carvers to stay at his compound equipped with the tools of the trade. After all, it’s not like you can carry gaspowered tools on an airplane. “I’ve got 40 chain saw carvers in my cell phone just in the Js,” he said. “And there’s a lot of Dougs and Daves and Matts in the Ms and Ds.” The locals enjoy the roadside attraction. “We slow the car down to about nothing and sit there and admire the work that this guy does. It’s incredible,” said Langley resident Olav Valle. “At first I had no idea who was doing this work and our neighbor knows him and pointed out, ‘Oh, yeah, he’s the guy in the Pemco commercial.’” Oh, yeah. The Pemco commercial. Backus was featured in the 2008 Pemco Insurance commercial campaign of “We’re A Lot Like You. A Little Different.” “I carved a little bear holding a toilet-paper holder,” he said. “They still run it. I still get residuals.” n For information, email Backus at bigshot@whidbey. com

State Auditor’s office free of Kelley ‘cloud’ THE PETRI DISH
By JERRY CORNFIELD When the state’s duly elected auditor disappears while in office does anyone notice beyond the shadow of the Capitol dome? Doesn’t seem like it. It’s been two full months since Troy Xavier Kelley discharged his duties to others and cut himself off the public trough to focus on fighting federal criminal charges stemming from his past profession. The first-term Tacoma Democrat began a self-imposed unpaid exile at 1 p.m. May 4. An hour later his digital existence with the State Auditor’s Office had, to put it politely, been erased. No mug, no bio and almost no sign of his service. Most mentions of him are in the trove of documents agency officials delivered to investigators then put online for the world to read. Jan Jutte, the woman entrusted by Kelley to steer the ship in his absence, ordered the expunging and posting in one of her first acts. “The cloud was never over this office. It was always over him,” she said last week. “I think I was just trying to give less opportunity for questions to be asked.” Since taking the helm, Jutte’s guided the vaunted agency to smoother waters under clearer skies. She said she’s not spoken with Kelley nor does his name come up in office conversations unless they involve an inquiring reporter. In the past two months, employees have issued hundreds of audits of cities, counties, school districts and other appendages of local government. There’s also been an intermittent whistleblower probe and a performance audit or two. The executive team huddled for six hours to do what Jutte described as operational planning. The effort that started after Kelley’s election in 2012 amounts to mapping a course for the agency to follow in the coming two to four years. “In 18 months there is going to be a new person, I know that. It doesn’t mean they can’t alter it,” she said. “This is a continuation of what we were doing before the cloud appeared. I think it is an indication that we are moving forward.” She’s commanded with steady hand, unbending humility and pretty much without a compass. You don’t need one when you’ve worked at the place 30 years and tackled tasks in about every division of the agency. “I’m not an unknown,” she said. “I think that helps make this transition out from under the cloud.” Since 1985, she’s had three elected bosses, all Democrats. Now she’s the boss albeit acting and unelected. She is the first woman and first certified public accountant to occupy the auditor’s chair. She’ll be in it until Kelley — whose tribulations will henceforth be known as “The Cloud” — returns or, more likely, a successor is elected in November 2016. That won’t be Jutte. She’s not running, though some want her to do so. “On a day-to-day basis, it is not an issue,” she said. “We are doing audits. That’s who we are. We are moving on.” That’s what she wants people under the Capitol dome and throughout the state to notice.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Keaton Ferris
Forum to take a look at policing issues Editor, We in Island County have had a horrendously tragic fatality in our county jail. It should not have happened. By current accounts, Keaton Ferris behaved like an animal, was treated like an animal, and died like one. But was he one? There will be a public forum about “Policing in the 21st Century” at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 30 at Oak Harbor’s Public Library located near Skagit Community College. It is sponsored by the Sno-Isle Libraries and League of Women Voters. It is an opportunity for citizens to discuss policing problems with our officials and leaders, for us to learn what goes on behind the scenes, and for them to learn what we want done. The forum will be moderated by retired physician and active citizen Marshall Goldberg. Back in the 1990s Island County leaders put a Law & Justice Plan into print. It is a good read and I’m sure Prosecutor Greg Banks would provide
a copy to anyone wanting one. It does a good job of describing the problems and issues of that day and continuing. Two sentences stand out for emphasis: “It is important that the mental health agencies, treatment agencies and other agents in our society, including the community at large, take responsibility for problems of crime and delinquency, rather than leaving them solely to law enforcement and the judicial system. “By adapting this holistic approach and by mobilizing the entire community and expanding early intervention efforts, the chances of successfully reducing crime and delinquency will be greatly enhanced.” As a volunteer mentor for our Drug Courts, I can attest that this approach works. Our judges and most officials will attest to it too. America has come a long way since rule violators were trussed up in stocks in the public square for adults, children, and animals to torment. While questioning our leadership, keep in mind that this is a responsibility we all bear. One big question is “What are my friends, family and myself doing to make this situation better?” The meeting needs to be well attend-

Hospital
Believes Born best for WGH board of directors Editor, In the upcoming election, the winning candidate for a seat on the Whidbey General Hospital board of commissioners will surely have to face the nasty job of dealing with sagging hospital finances. As of February 2015, it was reported that the hospital operating loss was $4.6 million, and the loss for 2013 was more than $5.5 million. Taxpayers should be outraged at this lack of fiscal discipline and accountability at our public hospital. The incumbent running for reelection, Georgia Gardner, stated in a recent forum that she is dedicated to the oversight of hospital finances. Indeed. With that kind of “dedication” it seems to me the hospital is in big SEE LETTERS, A7

OBITUARY
Mueller
Irene Margaret (Kellar) Mueller
“Not long and snappy, but short and happy.” Irene Margaret (Kellar) Mueller, age 82, passed on peacefully, surrounded by her family, at home in Coupeville on the morning of July 8. Irene was born July 20, 1932, to Michael and Margaret Kellar on their homestead in Williston, N.D. She graduated from Williston High School in 1950, known as “Not long and snappy, but short and happy.” Irene married Donald Fuller in 1953; five children were born of that marriage. As a military and then airline family, they lived in several states including Arizona, Minnesota, New York and Florida. They moved to Seattle in 1972, where Irene worked for Boeing and volunteered at the USO in SeaTac Airport, St. Philomena Church, Angle Lake PTA, “The Flight Path” and Pregnancy Aid. In September 1980, Irene married Gordon Mueller, a union which included a family of fourteen children. Irene and Gordy retired to Whidbey Island in 1985, where Irene opened the “Country Cottage” in Coupeville and wrote a column for The Coupeville Examiner: “This and That: A View of the People, Places

DAV van
Need volunteers to get vets to appointments Editor, Do you know of any veterans who
must take the DAV van from Oak Harbor to the VA Medical Center in Seattle? If you do, ask and they will tell you it would not be possible without dedicated volunteer drivers ready to transport them. Currently, our volunteer list has been diminishing due to illness, age and other reasons. We are in dire need of drivers. There are some days that veterans miss their appointments or struggle to find other ways to get there because there is an insufficient number of available drivers. As the DAV chapter commander, I am challenging all veteran and service organizations to either offer volunteers or help us seek out dedicated individuals willing to give back to their local heroes. For anyone interested, there are
hurdles to jump in order to drive for the VA, to include background checks, VA physical, training, etc. This is a yearly requirement so a commitment by the individual would be needed. Just to be clear, anyone with a valid driver’s license and good driving record can apply. If you would like to give back to veterans who have given so much to our country, as well as our community, come by the DAV office from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday and fill out an application. We are located in the VFW building at 3037 Goldie Road, Oak Harbor. The phone number is 360-682-2945. We are also in need of Chapter Service Officers who volunteer their time assisting veterans in filing their service connected disability claims to the VA.

OBITUARIES
Hoxie
Norman Destin Hoxie
Norman Destin Hoxie, of Anacortes, age 80, passed away at his home on Wednesday, July 1. He was born at home in Blossvale, N.Y., in 1934 to Lynn Irving Hoxie and Florence Irene (Dell) Hoxie. Norm grew up in a rural area near Oneida Lake, northeast of Syracuse. The youngest of five children, he graduated from Camden High School in 1952 as senior class president and a member of the football team. Norm served in the U.S. Army Security Agency from 1954-1957, including two years in Okinawa. He was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant and retired from the Army Reserves in 1962. Norm met Nancy Weiler in 1960 when he moved in next door to her parents and family in Fremont, Calif. Norman was a shy suitor, but soon after meeting Nancy declared “he is the man I’m going to marr y.” Apparently, her persistence won over the shy suitor, and they became engaged in 1962. They were married on October 21, 1962 in Fremont, and were blessed with a daughter, Patricia, in 1963 and a son, Robert, in 1965. In 1972, the family moved from Fremont to Fidalgo Island to pursue life in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. He worked for more than 40 years as a heavy equipment operator in the construction industries in California and Washington. Norm retired from Krieg Construction in Oak Harbor in 1997. He enjoyed the independence, solitude, and creativity involved in his craft. Norm and Nancy enjoyed many years of R.V. travel during retirement, includ-
ing multiple trips across the United States. He was an avid sports fan over the years, from Little League baseball and high school sports, to professional teams including the Mariners and Seahawks. He is survived by his spouse, Nancy Hoxie; daughter, Patricia (Howard) Williams of Bellingham; son, Robert (Tina) Hoxie; and grandson, Jacob Hoxie of Anacortes. Family members include Tina’s parents, Wayne and Bunny Winsauer of Bellingham; brother-in-law, Stan Weiler of Sedro Woolley; sister-inlaw, Joan Hoxie; and niece, Cynthia Hoxie of Sunol, Calif., with extended family in Washington, Nebraska and California. The family expresses its gratitude to Dr. Robert Rieger and Alicia Montour of Island Family Physicians, the ICU staff at Island Hospital and Hospice of the Northwest for taking care of our “Buppa.” His gentle but strong presence will be greatly missed. Private interment will take place at Grandview Cemeter y. Memorials may be sent to Anacortes Public Library Foundation, Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center, and Hospice of the Northwest. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Norman, please sign the online guest register at www.evanschapel.com
Chicago. After serving in WWII he came home, attended the University of Illinois School of Engineering and married Phyllis Ann Homan. They eventually moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where they raised their family. Paul enjoyed his work, which involved helping customers solve problems through engineering. Paul is survived by his son, Robert and his girlfriend, Bev Holstun; daughter, Nancy and her wife, L ynn Ter woerds; and granddaughter, Sarah. He was an extremely loving and supportive father, passing along his sense of adventure and love of life to his children. After retirement, Paul and Phyllis moved to Whidbey Island to be close to their children. Paul was a model railroad enthusiast, attending the Oak Harbor model railroad club meetings until very recently with the help of fellow member and friend Bill Harper. He also earned his pilot’s license at an early age and completed a parachute jump on his 75th birthday. Paul shared his hobbies with his son Bob – flying and model railroad, and his sense of adventure with his daughter Nancy – sailing and HAM radio. He was very proud of his family and engaged in life to the end, often saying, “Every day is a bonus day.” We wish to thank the staff at Careage of Whidbey for their care, compassion and advocacy through the years. Services will be held at 2 p.m., July 19, at Burley Funeral Chapel, 30 SE Ely Street in Oak Harbor. Family and friends are welcome.

Winifred ‘Winnie’ Richards (Schmidt) Skaare
Winifred “Winnie” Richards (Schmidt) Skaare of Kennewick passed away unexpectedly on July 1 at
the age of 72. She passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. Winnie was born on July 28, 1942, in Memphis, Tenn., where she also spent her youth. She grew up with three adoring and mischievous brothers: Robert, Warren and Albert. She graduated from Treadwell High School in 1960 and achieved a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Memphis State University. On October 11, 1964, Winnie married her Prince Charming, Gerald (Jerry) Skaare at Highland Heights Methodist Church in Memphis. Winnie tirelessly supported Jerry’s Navy career which took them from Memphis to Sanford, Fla. to Virginia Beach, Va. and finally to settle for 18 wonderful years in Oak Harbor. While Jerry was deployed, Winnie and the kids were embraced by their friends in the Presbyterian Church community. Jerr y’s next career brought the family to Kennewick, where she and Jerr y have resided since 1984. In addition to her most challenging jobs as a Navy wife and mother, Winnie worked for the Whidbey News Times and Giant Nickel, at NAS Whidbey Hospital Environmental Health Ser vices, and as an office manager at Lutheran Social Services in Kennewick until she retired. Winnie’s greatest joys in life were her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She had a thoroughly generous heart, always giving and caring for others. Her favorite times were spent with family and friends, and always with Jerry, the love of her life, on adventurous travels near and far, immersing themselves in music, and expressing their avid zeal for the TriCity Americans, Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks. Winnie is survived by her adoring husband, Gerald (Jerry) Skaare; her children, Melissa and Larry Halverson, Erin King and partner Mike Koplitz, and Chris and Jacquie Skaare; her siblings, Warren and Jeri Schmidt, Albert and Carolyn Schmidt, and Janet and Steve Sims; her grandchildren, Keith and Jacki

Johnson
Duke D. Johnston
Duke D. Johnston, age 83, passed away peacefully Thursday morning, July 9, at Skagit Regional Hospital in Mount Vernon. He was a resident of Oak Harbor. Duke was born in New York on Feb. 6, 1932, to Mabel and Newman Johnston. Duke’s passion for flying led him to a career as a
pilot in the U.S. Air Force, from which he ultimately retired as a lieutenant colonel. While in the Air Force, he completed two undergraduate degrees in education and criminal justice from the University of Maryland. When he retired from the Air Force, he obtained a law degree from the University of Baltimore in 1979. On recommendations from friends in the Northwest, Duke visited Whidbey Island and fell in love with the region, ultimately settling in Oak Harbor, where he passed his bar exam and was awarded the right to practice law by the Washington State Supreme Court. Duke retired from his law career after ser ving Island County as a public defender from 1981 to 1984 and as judge pro-tem from 1984 to 2003. Duke enjoyed his retirement years pursuing his hobbies of woodworking and target-shooting and island life. Duke is sur vived by his wife, Victoria; his children, Duke (junior) and Elizabeth (Mclaughlin), Paula (Tuzzolino), Gloria (Watson), Michael (Harrell) and David (Harrell). He was preceded in death by his sister, Jean (Webb) and his brother, Newman. The words Duke chose to live by are the last two lines of the poem, “Invictus,” by William Ernest Henley: “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m., July 17, at Wallin Funeral Home in Oak Harbor. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the SPCA or a local animal shelter in honor of Duke’s love for animals. The family would like to thank all those who supported Duke throughout his lifetime, but especially the medical community and staff that worked had to see that the winter of his life was spent enjoying the tranquility of his home over-looking Puget Sound. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Cremator y, Inc., Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Duke, please sign the online guest register at www.evanschapel.com

IFFY FUNDING
Page A9
CONTINUED FROM A1 Members of the Island Transit board were split on whether or not to move forward with the route cancellations. ISLAND COUNTY Commissioner Rick Hannold and Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg, both members of the transit board, argued that they should make a commitment to keep the route going “The public needs to know if this route is going to continue,” Sundberg said, adding that Bailey and Hayes “went out on a limb” to support the funding and that they would be disappointed by inaction. The three other board members, however, argued that there were too many unanswered questions about the funding to take action. Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said it’s unclear whether there are “strings attached” to the funding, particularly after Hannold indicated that he thought it required matching funds. BAILEY TOLD the Whidbey NewsTimes last week that the money
doesn’t come with any strings beyond the requirements that it be used for the tri-county connector. Both Johnson and Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg, current chairman of the transit board, said they don’t know when the agency will get the money if the governor signs the bill. “I would feel a lot better making a decision based on facts and not speculation,” he said. Johnson said moving forward with the route without confirmation is a lot of risk for an agency “which is not on the most stable footing,” though Sundberg asserted that the agency’s finances were “out of the danger zone.” COUPEVILLE COUNCILWOMAN Jackie Henderson, director of Island County Human Services, agreed. Henderson said she deals with grants all the time and they often come with surprises. She said she would feel nervous going forward with the route without knowing the details of the grant. The board members also discussed larger issues about how regional public transportation is
NO CHARGES CONTINUED FROM A1 “I would ask her to voluntarily give the money back as a gesture of good faith,” he said. Of the five current members of the Island Transit board, only Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg was present when the board approved Rose‘s severance agreement. Banks asked detectives with the State Patrol to investigate last fall after a report by the state Auditor’s Office identified discrepancies between Rose’s calendar and her vacation leave balance. The Auditor’s Office analyzed the transit agency’s records after financial problems forced officials to layoff employees and cut bus routes. Rose eventually left under pressure from the public and the IT board of directors.
The board approved a $106,000 payout as part of Rose’s severance package, which included $88,000 for unused vacation. The state audit report and the State Patrol investigation both indicate that Rose hadn’t reported many days of vacation time over the years. Rose failed to claim any paid leave time in 2013, but her calendars showed she was on vacation for 35 days during that year, Banks wrote. Banks found that there was at least 25 days of vacation that she took but didn’t

Almberg and Johnson questioned the wisdom of “overlapping service” in which Island Transit travels into other counties to connect to other transit systems. A POINT of contention is the fact that Skagit Transit doesn’t have a route that travels to Deception
report in 2014. After reviewing the state patrol investigation, Banks said he wouldn’t be able to prove that Rose acted with criminal intent. He said the lack of a paper trail was probably because there was no paper to begin with. “The complete lack of information is, in my opinion, a result of very loose policies which, in turn, permitted high-level employees to take vacations without decreasing their vacation leave banks, and not violate IT policies by doing so,” he wrote in his notice on his filing decision. Banks wrote that a transit employee, and not Rose, calculated her vacation leave payout and the board approved it in exchange for

Johnson said it’s “mind boggling” that Skagit Transit doesn’t provide service along a portion of the state highway. She also pointed out that Island Transit is the smallest and poorest of transit agencies in the area and has the highest per-rider costs. She

Yet Banks found that Rose did receive financial benefit
said she was thankful for the grant but questioned whether it might make more sense for Skagit Transit to get the money.

He noted that transit officials, and possibly auditors, assumed that Rose’s lack of accounting for her vacation time didn’t affect the payout amount because her vacation balance was “maxed out” beyond what she could carry over each year. Transit officials have said it was “a wash” because her

vacation balance was above the cap. Banks found that this is not the case, but that her payout was likely too high, to the tune of $6,960. “I don’t think anyone did the math,” he said. Rose did not return a call for comment by press time.

No problems reported as Pass bridges undergo work Work on the bridges at Deception Pass is right on schedule, according to the state Department of Transportation. Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges are scheduled to be closed from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. so that contractors can repave it. The first night of the closure was Sunday and the paving should done by Friday morning, July 17.
Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said he isn’t aware of any problems related to the bridge closure, though he’s heard that hotels on the Anacortes side were full this week. Tom Pearce, spokesman for state Transportation, said the work is going well. About half of the bridge was already re-paved as of Tuesday morning.
Pearce explained that contractors used grinding machines to remove most of the asphalt. Workers will inspect the concrete bridge deck exposed by the work and make necessary repairs. He said people driving over the bridge during the day should be prepared for a rough ride with bumps at the joints. Extra sailings were added to the
Clinton-to-Mukilteo ferry route during the nighttime closures, but the run between Coupeville and Port Townsend is unchanged. Vehicles taking the ferry from Port Townsend to Coupeville after the 5:15 p.m. sailing will not be able to cross the Deception Pass Bridge. Drivers should plan to use the Clinton/Mukilteo ferry and Interstate 5 as an alternate route to
travel north, according to the DOT. The extra additional trips are: l Leaving Clinton at 9 p.m., 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 a.m. l Leaving Mukilteo at 9:30 p.m., 2, 3 and 4 a.m. The bridge work is the last portion of a project to repave State Highway 20, from Frostad Road on Whidbey Island to Sharpes Point on Fidalgo Island.
HABITAT HOME CONTINUED FROM A1 construction and its employees are donating some of their time to help with the build. It’s the first time Habitat for Humanity of Island County has formed a home partnership with a business in the community. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with IDEX this year,” said Sadi Foltz, development director for Habitat for Humanity of Island County. “It’s a really exciting opportunity for them to get invested in a Habitat program and family. They’re going

to be there every step of the way.” Already a major contributor to Relay for Life of Whidbey Island every year, IDEX employees wanted to also help other causes in the community, said Andrea Rivers, the company’s customer service manager. Habitat for Humanity seemed to be an ideal fit, she said. “We have employees who have benefitted from this program at some point in their lives,” Rivers said. “Those of us who have worked for IDEX for a long time feel like family, and those who are new to IDEX, we want them to feel like they are part of the family. “What better way than building a home together.” IDEX, which is based in Chicago, has been in business for more than 30 years on Whidbey Island. Located on Oak Street, the company is a manufacturer of highly engineered fluidic systems and components. David Hendrix, a maintenance worker, was one of seven IDEX employees who helped with framing the new home Saturday. “I think it’s an awesome charity that gets the community together,” Hendrix said. “It also helps people figure out what IDEX is.”

Melissa Brown chats with Hidemi Dettman on the construction site of Brown’s new Habitat for Humanity home. Brown and Dettman will be neighbors after both partnered with Habitat for Humanity to receive new homes. IDEX employees will be out at least two more weekends to participate. “It was neat seeing Melissa be so excited when the first wall went up,” Rivers said. About 80 percent of the work done on Habitat for Humanity homes is through volunteer labor, Foltz said.
This keeps costs down significantly and allows the homeowner to take on an affordable mortgage payment. Orin Kolaitis, Habitat for Humanity’s construction manager, led the framing project Saturday with IDEX employees and other volunteers. Brown also helped in any way she could as did others in the neighbor-

North Whidbey Little League poised for state win By JIM WALLER
jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com
The last District 11 Little League tournament wraps up this week, and the North Whidbey 11/12 baseball team is looking to slip through the back door to capture the crown. North Whidbey played South Whidbey Tuesday in a losers-out game; results were not available at press time. The winner moves on to meet Sedro-Woolley in the championship series which begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 15, in Langley. The second game, if necessary, will be at 6 p.m. Thursday. The North Whidbey/ South Whidbey winner will need to defeat Sedro-Woolley twice to capture first. 11/12 Baseball Timely hitting, a solid defense and a string of strong pitching performances carried Central Whidbey to a 6-2 opening-round win over Anacortes on Saturday, July 11. The game was scoreless until the third inning when Central Whidbey scored a pair of runs after two walks and a two-run single by Daniel Olsen. The play of the game came in the bottom of the third when Anacortes tried to wrestle back the momentum. Anacortes scored one run on a bunt and error and then had runners at second and third with one out. Center fielder Luke Vrable hauled in a fly ball for the second out and then fired a throw home to nail the runner trying to tag and score from third. After the stellar defensive play, Vrable added the game’s offensive highlight. Central Whidbey scored one run on two walks and two errors in the top of the fourth, then Vrable slashed a three-run double down the third-base line to give Central Whidbey a 6-1 lead. Anacortes added a run in the bottom of the sixth, but “our defense shut them down,” coach Steve Hilborn said.

North Whidbey’s Jace Royek slaps a base hit in Sunday’s 11/12 Little League game as Central Whidbey catcher Noah Meffert awaits the pitch. Meffert hit a home run for Central Whidbey. Olson, Cody Roberts, Vrable and Caleb Meyer shared the pitching duties. “Player of the game goes to Luke Vrable for the three-run double and the catch and put out at the plate,” Hilborn said. That win set up a showdown with North Whidbey, which had a bye in the first round, Sunday, and the Oak Harbor team came away with a 6-1 win. North Whidbey’s Jacob Hall broke open a close game with a three-run home run in the fifth inning, and George Dailey limited Central Whidbey to four hits while striking out 13 and walking only one. North Whidbey led Central Whidbey 2-1 after four innings as Dailey and Vrable were locked in a pitchers’ battle. Vrable, however, had to be lifted because he reached his pitch limit, and North Whidbey rallied for four more runs. First, two walks and a bloop hit scored one run on a close play at the plate. Then Hall crushed his homer to finish the scoring. Central Whidbey’s offense was led by a home run by
Noah Meffert. In addition to picking up the pitching win, Dailey collected two hits on offense for North Whidbey. Josh Royek added a double, and Keegan Dunham and Will Ray added singles. “It was a great game,” North Whidbey coach Ken Harrison said. “The team came ready to play, showing that all the long, hard practice does pay off. “The coaches are very proud of the team playing so well in their first game.” On Monday, both North and Central Whidbey lost. North Whidbey fell 2-0 in the semifinals to Sedro-Woolley, while Central Whidbey lost to host South Whidbey 9-7 in the consolation bracket and was eliminated. Sedro-Woolley scored both its runs in the first inning in its win over North Whidbey, then North Whidbey pitchers Andrew Dixon, Gage McLeod and Hall shut the door. The North Whidbey offense, however, never got going. “(We) had a hard time waking up the bats,” Harrison said. “When we hit the ball it was at a player who was able
to make the out.” North Whidbey received strong defensive play from shortstop Dailey and second baseman Dylan Roberts, Harrison said. For Central Whidbey, it was “too many errors and mental mistakes,” according to Hilborn. The sloppy play put Central Whidbey into a 9-3 hole going into the fifth inning, and even with the help of a Meffert grand slam, the Coupeville crew could not quite fight all the way back. Central Whidbey sent the winning run to the plate in the sixth inning, but Ashton Leland’s towering fly fell a few feet short of clearing the fence and winning the game, Hilborn said. 9/10 Baseball Anacortes completed a run through the consolation bracket by defeating North Whidbey twice in the championship series of the 9/10 District 11 tournament last weekend at Windjammer Park. North Whidbey opened the tournament Tuesday with an 11-9 win over Anacortes. After that contest, Anacortes
won five straight games, including defeating North Whidbey 7-4 Saturday and 11-0 Sunday to earn a trip to the state tournament. In Saturday’s game, Anacortes answered every North Whidbey challenge. North Whidbey took an early lead with two runs in the second inning, and Anacortes responded with three runs in the third. North Whidbey reclaimed the lead with two runs in the fourth inning, and Anacortes countered with two runs in the fourth and single runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Jacob Figarelle paced the North Whidbey offense with two RBI. Jackson Wesley had “two good at bats,” according to coach Don Jenkins, finishing with a hit and RBI. Karyn Hardy “pitched well,” Jenkins said. In Sunday’s championship game, Anacortes scored five runs in the first inning Sunday and “never looked back,” according to Jenkins. Although North Whidbey dropped the title game, Jenkins said he hopes “the boys had a fun all-star experience.” “Many thanks to the parents and to co-coaches Joe Figarelle and Sam McLaughlin, who put in a ton of time to make this a great and fun learning experience for the team,” Jenkins said. 9/10 Softball Central Whidbey dropped both of its games at the state tournament in Vancouver over the weekend and was eliminated. Central Whidbey lost 7-1 in Marysville in the opener Saturday and then 14-11 to Northeast Seattle in the second game Sunday. Coach Mimi Johnson, however, protested the Northeast Seattle loss. “Their starting pitcher was subbed out of the game, and there is question as to whether or not she was eligible to return to the pitching plate a second time,” Johnson said. “I asked the host UIC (umpire-
in-chief) about it after the game and was told it was a ‘gray area.’ I stewed over it and talked with our district, then filed an official protest. This was not a decision I made lightly, but I wanted true answers, not the ‘gray area’ answer.” State officials requested clarification from national Little League officials in Williamsport, and, in all, it took nine and a half hours for Little League to respond. “Well, we lost, but the response I finally got back didn’t even really match the issue, thus creating more questions,” Johnson said. Players’ families were on standby in Coupeville during the long wait, ready to return to Vancouver if necessary, Johnson said. “Win or lose, protest or not, the girls played great,” Johnson said. “They took the scenic route in districts (coming through the losers’ bracket) but held their own at state. They have been a fun team to coach and I couldn’t ask for a better group of parents.” In the Northeast Seattle game, Coupeville came from seven runs down to take a 10-7 lead heading into the fifth inning. Northeast Seattle tallied two runs in the fifth and five in the sixth to retake the lead. Central Whidbey received 21 walks, including 11 in a nine-run fourth inning. Isabelle Wells collected Central Whidbey’s only hit in the game. In the opener against Marysville, Central Whidbey lost 7-1 but played a “great game,” according to Johnson. Central Whidbey tallied its run in the third inning when Kaia Richmond walked, stole second and third and scored on a hit by Stella Johnson. Johnson finished with two hits, one a double. Chanel Sterna also doubled, while Mckenna Somes, Mckaela Meffert and Jill Price singled. Richmond walked twice. Central Whidbey had runners on in every inning and left seven runners in scoring position.
North Whidbey swimmers shine at Federal Way invitational The North Whidbey Aquatics Club sent seven swimmers to the second annual Mark Prothero Invitational in Federal Way last weekend, and all put in solid performances. Alana Miller earned NWAC Swimmer of the Meet honors by placing third in the girls 10-and-under 50-meter backstroke and posting a new age-group qualifying time in the 100 butterfly (1:33.65). Jillian Pape recorded NWAC’s highest place in a finals event,
finishing ninth in the women’s open 200 butterfly (2:43.24). Lindsay Brown was fifth in the 200 individual medley (3:18.76) and clocked an age-group cut in the 100 breaststroke (1:44.42). Patty Miessner placed 13th in the finals of the girls 13/14 200 fly. Ashleigh Merrill, 12, swam the 1,500 freestyle in 20:26.02, putting her on the Pacific Northwest Swim top-20 list. Kiersten Tyson, 9, swam to sixth in the 100 free (1:28.54).
Lola Chargualaf, 9; Grace Chargualaf, 12; and Jacob Swanson,10, rounded out the NWAC efforts by recording multiple personal bests, according to coach Richard Taylor. Lola Chargualaf swam 1:42.77 in the 100 fly, a very fast time for her age group and nearly reaching an age-group qualifying time, Taylor said. NWAC competes in the Seattle Age Group Open next weekend at Colman Pool.

The Muzzall family is opening up its 3 Sisters Family Farm to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 18. From left are Jessica, Roshel, Shelly, Ron and Jennifer.
Farmville By RON NEWBERRY
A Staff reporter
lthough his daughters were raised on the farm, Ron Muzzall is confident their appreciation for what they do has grown just like they have. The sisters that make up 3 Sisters Family Farms are all in their 20s now but remain committed to the family business and working farm culture that comes with being fifth generation farmers. “When they were younger they didn’t understand the ramifications,” Muzzall said. “On the farm, people learn the consequences of their actions.” Caring for one domesticated animal can be tedious for anyone at times. At 3 Sisters Family Farm, that responsibility includes hundreds of cattle, hogs, lambs and chickens over hundreds of acres. The grasses and grain that the animals eat also are grown on the farm and other leased property
around Whidbey Island. The public will get a glimpse of the inner workings of the Muzzall’s 120-acre working farm in Oak Harbor and learn a little more about the family business during a Farm Day at 3 Sisters Family Farms Saturday. Normally closed to the public, the century-old farm off Scenic Heights Road that overlooks Penn Cove will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include food vendors, information booths, a petting zoo, hay maze, a barbecue and farm tours. The farm’s original store also will open for the day, where beef, lamb and eggs will be sold. A mobile slaughtering unit the farm uses also will be brought to the farm for educational purposes. No slaughtering will take place Saturday. “This gives us a chance to show our customers and other people a working farm and a family working on a farm,” said Ron Muzzall, whose great grandparents started
3 Sisters Farms offers closer look at unique working farm, lifestyle with Farm Day
farming the land in 1910. “Ninety percent of agriculture is family farms. “Very few corporations want anything to do with production agriculture because of the low margin.” Jessica Muzzall, 24, the middle sister who serves as event planner and store manager for the 3 Sisters Market in nearby San de Fuca, said planning for Farm Day has been in the works since January. Activity has picked up this week with the entire family preparing for the special event. Jennifer MuzzallJones, 27, is the farm’s production manager. Roshel Muzzall, 20, is the youngest of the three sisters who’s home this summer from college. It’s been five years since 3 Sisters Family Farms has opened its farm up to the public on this sort of scale and first time since the store opened in 2012. Although admission to the farm is free, there is a cost for food that will be served. Serendipity Catering from Coupeville is preparing a barbecue
meal. Toppins Frozen Yogurt and Whidbey Coffee also will be serving beverages. The farm is located at 938 Scenic Heights Road. There will be signs for parking. “Every year we pick some sort of event to do,” said Shelly Muzzall, Ron’s wife and mom of the three sisters. “Last year, it was the Farm to Table dinner. “The public is always interested in farming and the animals and just want to come by and learn.” 3 Sisters Family Farms prides itself on grass-fed beef and lamb, all natural barley-fed pork and cage free laying hens. Ron Muzzall said it’s a rare venture these days for a business to derive its sole income from farming but 3 Sisters is managing to do so to keep its family heritage going. He and his wife returned to the farm where he grew up in 1986. Once a commercial dairy, the farm sold its last milk cows in 2006 and started turning the focus to direct marketing of beef, pork and eggs
Hogs are a curious attraction from Scenic Heights Road at 3 Sisters Family Farm in Oak Harbor. The family business sells grass-fed beef and lamb, barley-fed pork and eggs from cage-free hens. to the community. The farm’s products also are sold in some grocery stores and restaurants on Whidbey Island. “The agricultural community is always having to adapt,” Ron Muzzall said. “That’s one thing the dinosaurs didn’t do was adapt. And we all know what happened to them.” n To learn more about the 3 Sisters Family Farm Farm Day, go to www.3sistersbeef.org

COUPEVILLE, 10 Families!
ADOPT!! DON’T SHOP!!! Hi! My name is Minnie and I came from the very high kill shelter in Downey, CA. I am a ver y gentle soul, sweet and calm. I’m some sort of terrier mix, maybe some spaniel mix. Whatever I am, I’m extremely cute! I’m approximately 1 years old, spayed, my weight is about 12 lbs., up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and have had my health certificates done. I get along great with other dogs and I would like a calm household, maybe a stay at home parent that can love me all day long! I would also like a fenced yard so I can play in and be safe. I LOVE to play and want someone to play with! If you would like an application for me, please call (not before 9:00 am or after 9:00 pm), Kim at 360-969-2014 http://awos.petfinder. com/shelters/ WA584.html WE ARE ALWAYS NEEDING FOSTERS!!! ª Please inquire! ª http://awos.petfinder.com/shelters/WA584.html
