Experimental tidal energy project Four OH schools moves ahead in Admiralty Inlet
fall short in testing
By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
A crew from Snohomish County PUD will be working from a barge anchored off Admiralty Head next week to learn more about the site of an experimental tidal energy project. They will maneuver remoteoperated vehicles from the barge to photograph the seabed that will be the site of two turbines. Craig Collar, senior manager of energy resource development for the Snohomish County PUD, said the crew could start work Sept. 29. The barge could be anchored off Admiralty Head for as long as five days and will be visible from the nearby lighthouse. The Snohomish County utility wants to place turbines in the waters between Whidbey Island and the Olympic Peninsula to gauge the technology’s effectiveness. Collar said the turbine could produce as much as one megawatt of energy, but will probably average 100 kilowatts. If the turbines

African crane draws stares on Whidbey By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Bird watchers and some North Whidbey residents have been a little dumbfounded by a recent visitor to Dugualla Bay Heights. A grey crowned crane, a spectacular 3-foot-tall bird originating in Africa, has been spotted in the lagoon area, sometimes hanging
out with Canadian geese. A number of people have sent photos of the stately creature to the Whidbey News-Times. “It’s definitely out of place,” said Steve Ellis, Whidbey Audubon president. Ellis explained that exotic birds See crane, A4
After finishing up its first round of standardized testing with new state tests, Oak Harbor received many “good, yet not good enough” marks. The passing standard set by the federal government is called “Adequately Yearly Progress” (AYP) and each school must reach or surpass that bar in a variety of subgroups categorized by income and ethnicity. On average, Oak Harbor schools are responsible for about 21 subgroups each, and if just one subgroup falls below the mark, the school, and district, can’t pass. This year, Broad View, Hillcrest, Olympic View and Oak Harbor elementary schools met AYP, while Crescent Harbor, the two middle schools and Oak Harbor High School did not. Though a 50 percent passing rate may seem alarming, Assistant Superintendent Lance Gibbon said that Oak Harbor is making noteworthy progress that can’t be seen in a quick snapshot of results. Last year, three of the five elementary schools didn’t meet standards, and this year Crescent Harbor missed the mark by only 1.5 percent. Also among Oak Harbor’s accomplishments, Gibbon noted that Olympic View’s fourth See testing, A4

Two firefighters from the Oak Harbor Fire Department begin attacking a car fire that broke out
Fire claims car in parking lot By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Shoppers at Safeway in Oak Harbor got more than they bargained for Friday evening when a vehicle caught fire in the grocery’s parking lot. At about 7:25 p.m., the store’s internal speaker system announced that a red 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix appeared to be on fire in a stall near the front doors. Shoppers rushed out to find smoke pouring from under the hood of the vehicle. While those parked next to
the burning car began a frantic effort to move their own cars away, the owner of the Pontiac, Oak Harbor resident Brandon Barlow, attempted to put the flames out himself with a fire extinguisher. Barlow declined an interview. The Oak Harbor Fire Department was on the scene within minutes and was able to quickly get control of the fire. With flames visible underneath the vehicle, two firefighters approached the car and began hammering the hood with a large metal
pry-bar to gain access to the engine compartment. Once it was open, the flames were blasted with water and the fire was put out for good. According to Oak Harbor Battalion Chief Ray Merrill, it appears the fire was caused by some kind of electrical problem. The vehicle is likely a total loss, he said, as the damage was greater than its value. The Oak Harbor Police Department and the Washington State Patrol also responded to the call.

Take two pills, call the police in the morning By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
It’s time to open up your medicine cabinet and sort through all those old prescription bottles. The police want your pills. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration is teaming up with law enforcement on Whidbey Island as part of a nationwide prescription “TakeBack Day.” Law enforcement officers will be collecting expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs, as well as over-the-counter medication, Saturday, Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at three locations on Whidbey Island. The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked. Collection sites will be manned at the Oak Harbor Police Department, Coupeville Town Hall and the Island County Sheriff’s Office South Whidbey precinct, which is at 5521 E. Harbor Road in Freeland.
The main purpose of the program is to prevent prescription drug abuse, as well as the health and environmental hazards of inappropriately disposed drugs. The rates of prescription drug abuse has skyrocketed in recent years, as has the rate of accidental poisoning or overdosed on these drugs. More people die from prescription drug poisoning than car crashes. “Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse,” a DEA press released states. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown pointed out that prescription drug abuse has affected Whidbey Island in many ways. In the last couple of years, two drug stores — one in Oak Harbor and another in Coupeville — were robbed at gunpoint by men demanding drugs. It’s not uncommon for burglars to break into houses to look

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown displays an assortment of prescription pills that will become part of “Take Back Day” Sept. 25. for prescription drugs. “Anything we can do to reduce the abuse of prescription drugs in our community is a good thing,” Brown said. It won’t cost law enforcement on Whidbey Island anything to participate in the program. Brown, for example, is donating his own time to work at the collec-
tion site on South Whidbey. He said the event will help local law enforcement gauge whether there is a demand in the community for a regular or periodic drug take-back program. Brown said disposing of unwanted drugs in a responsible manner isn’t as easy as it seems. You shouldn’t
flush them down the drain since many types of medications can pollute water, harm wildlife and create a human health hazard. Drugs are now measurable in water bodies that receive treated sewage. Throwing drugs in the trash can lead to people rummaging through garbage. “With this prescription
drug take-back campaign, we are aggressively reaching out to individuals to encourage them to rid their households of unused prescription drugs that pose a safety hazard and can contribute to prescription drug abuse,” said Oak Harbor Police Chief Rick Wallace.
Forgery alleged in squabble over family farm on North Whidbey By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 49-year-old Oak Harbor woman is accused of forging a legal document to falsely claim that her deceased mother had bequeathed the family farm to her, and not to her siblings, court documents state. Prosecutors charged Shannan Marrs in Island County Superior Court Sept. 9 with first-degree perjury
and forgery. If convicted of the charges, she could face more than a year in prison under the standard sentencing range. Marrs’ ex-husband reported the alleged document forgery to law enforcement early this year, although the actual crime occurred in 2008, according to a report by Deputy Rick Felici with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The report states that
Marrs had been involved in a heated legal dispute with her family over her mother’s will. After the mother died, Marrs produced a quit claim deed, allegedly signed by her mother and then notarized, that left the farm on Arnold
Road to Marrs, the police report states. Marrs later filed the quit claim deed in Island County Superior Court. But the legal dispute continued. Jessie Valentine, an Oak Harbor attorney, had
the document examined by two independent forensic document examiners, both of whom concluded that the document was a fake, Felici wrote. In addition, an employee at Marrs’ graphics business
witnessed Marrs creating the document on graphic design equipment, court documents state. In fact, the woman said Marrs threaten to fire her if she didn’t help forge the dead woman’s signature, Felici wrote.

whales CONTINUED FROM A1 But the plan has environmental activists concerned it could have adverse impacts on marine life. The proposed sonar testing could be particularly harmful to cetaceans — whales and dolphins — but could hurt almost everything alive in the ocean, according to Howard Garrett, president of the Whidbey-based Orca Network’s board of directors. “Anything with an air pocket in their bodies,” Garrett said. “That’s everything.” Work on an environmental impact statement, a review document required by the National Environmental Policy Act, has been ongoing since 2007. The document, which is more than 1,000 pages long and stands nearly one-foot tall, according to Navy Environmental Public Affairs Officer Sheila Murray, is now complete. A required final 30-day comment period began Sept. 10. The public has until Oct. 12 to voice their opinions on the plan before it goes before the assistant secretary of the Navy for a decision, Murray said. “This is one last chance for the public to look at it,” she said. Environmentalist groups are not planning to waste the opportunity. Both Garrett and activists from Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, have been opposed to the Navy’s plans since their inception and are preparing for one last ditch effort to convince the Navy’s top brass that the plan could have serious impacts on marine life. The Navy is proposing two alternatives for their plan. Option one would be to increase existing activities to include the test of new weapons platforms, such as aircraft and guided missile submarines, while option two would adopt the same activities but also ramp up existing operations and make range enhancements, from the development of a small scale underwater training minefield and a portable undersea tracking range. If option two were selected, the Navy’s preferred alternative, several existing activities would increase dramatically. Missile testing would soar by 470 percent, from 10 fired per year to 57, while bomb dropping would also increase 33 percent, from 108 to 144 per year. The Navy would also roughly double the number

includes 20 mm cannon shells made from depleted uranium — from 25,856 per year to 53,343. However, none of the above activities will take place in Puget Sound. “The majority of it is off the coast,” Murray said.
Changes due on Whidbey While some activities inland will increase, such as air combat maneuvers and demolition training at the range on Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base, proposed underwater activities will actually decrease in Puget Sound. Explosive ordnance testing conducted in Crescent Harbor will go from 53 explosions a year to just two. Opposition to the Navy’s proposal is not just centered solely on Whidbey, but throughout Washington and Oregon. Groups such as People for Puget Sound and Cascadia Research have all voiced concerns. At one point, six of Oregon’s seven member Congressional delegation got involved when it sent a petition to Navy Secretary Donald Winter requesting additional time for comments. Garrett said he believes the Navy is trying to protect the environment, going as far as conducting fly-overs and setting up watchers before performing potentially lethal sonar testing, but he doubts they truly have the ability to detect all underwater marine mammals. Orcas along the continental shelf, known as “off shores,” are by nature stealthy hunters. They won’t be making noise so it will be extremely difficult for the Navy to know whether they are there before beginning testing. “They traverse the entire Pacific Ocean, so they can be anywhere,” Garrett said. Both he and WEAN officials plan to weigh in one last time with public comments, but they said after three years and thousands of comments received by people and groups across two states, they doubt it will have much of an impact. “I feel like a flea facing an elephant,” said WEAN’s Marianne Edain, a Langley resident. “I seriously doubt they will rethink their whole program.” Comments can be mailed attention Kimberly Kler, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest, 1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203, Silverdale, WA 98315-1101.

I-COM’s poor accounting ripped by state auditors By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Grossly inaccurate accounting prompted the Washington State Auditor’s Office to declare that Island County’s 911 service provider’s system of tracking dollars must improve. A recently released audit report follows other, separate problems with financial oversight at I-COM that came to light a few months ago, but officials say a new I-COM budget committee should resolve the problems. The state auditors’ report covers from Jan. 1, 2007 through Dec. 31, 2008 and finds that the I-COM staff responsible for preparing financial statements didn’t have adequate knowledge to accurately prepare them. The report found that the agency’s financial statements contained major errors that weren’t discovered by
Budget CONTINUED FROM A1 through attrition, and a drastic reduction in service to the community,” she said. More than 60 full-time and part-time county positions have been cut in previous rounds of budget chopping. In a small piece of good news, Marlow said she caught a small accounting error and that the county has $37,000 more than previously thought. That means the commissioners have a total of $98,000 they can use to restore funding to priority programs after receiving public input. The bad news, however, is that even more cuts could be ahead unless the county can negotiate contracts with the unions that resolve medical insurance costs. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson pointed out
Ebey CONTINUED FROM A1 components aren’t focused on Ebey’s Landing,” Morgan said, adding other notable areas, such as north Penn Cove and Crockett Lake, would also attract visitors to
employees. Inspectors found cash and investments were understated on financial statements by $225,397 in 2007 and $180,220 in 2008; salaries and wages were overstated on financial statements by $221,533 in 2007 and $247,030 in 2008; and personnel benefits were understated by $181,976 in 2007 and $245,541 in 2008. “I-COM later corrected the errors; however, these deficiencies in internal controls make it reasonably possible more serious misstatements could occur and not be prevented or detected by the center in the future,” the report states. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, a member of the I-COM board, was quick to point out the money I-COM receives was properly used, if not properly recorded. “The most important thing that came out of this is there wasn’t any misappropriation
of money,” Brown said about the audit. He added I-COM has to refine the way it provides financial information to the state. I-COM Director Tom Shaughnessy said that staff training will improve and the agency should be in compliance when its next scheduled audit takes place in two years. The audit finding comes after Coupeville officials criticized I-COM over a one-time payment that the county, cities and the town had to contribute to help pay off I-COM’s unwise construction loans and to bolster the 911 service budget. Coupeville had to pay an additional $11,000. Town officials, notably Mayor Nancy Conard, last spring questioned I-COM’s ability to budget effectively. Brown said he doesn’t anticipate the latest audit finding would hurt relationships with municipalities. He noted
that a financial oversight committee was formed this year to help I-COM better manage its finances. The committee is comprised of Brown, Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow and city of Oak Harbor Finance Director Doug Merriman. The audit issued last month was the first time the state auditor’s office inspected the agency’s financial statements. Kara Klotz, spokesperson with the state auditor’s office, said I-COM’s revenue exceeded $2 million, which is the threshold to review the agency’s financial statements. Auditors will continue to inspect the agency’s financial statements every two years as long as the agency’s revenue remains above $2 million. The state auditor’s office still performs accountability audits on I-COM annually.
that Sheriff Mark Brown turned down her offer to transfer $110,000 from the animal control budget to his department in order to save a deputy. He sent the commissioners an email explaining that his deputies couldn’t do an adequate job of dealing with animal control issues. Instead, Brown made a counter proposal that the commissioners instead completely cut funding to senior services and WSU Extension. The commissioners said that didn’t make sense. Commissioner John Dean said he prioritizes services to people above animals. “Saving animal control and throwing seniors overboard is not my value system,” he said. Prosecutor Greg Banks made the argument last week that animal control was less important than things like flu shots for the elderly and law enforcement. He said lower
priority functions simply shouldn’t be funded in the current budget emergency. Likewise, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she understood that the level of services would be diminished significantly if deputies handled animal control. It would be just one of many services that would diminish under the current budget. It’s a matter of setting priorities, and she felt a deputy was more important than animal control. During a tense exchange with commissioners, Brown tried to argue his point about cutting non-mandated services like senior services ahead of animal control. In his letter to the commissioners, he opined that cutting funding to senior services and the extension service wouldn’t really mean less money for them because he feels the community would donate more to the agencies in the wake of governmental cuts.
While Marlow said six positions would be lost through attrition, the amount of attrition may be even higher. Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said in an interview last week that deputies are bailing out of the department ahead of budget cuts and layoffs. Under the draft budget, the department will lose six deputies and three corrections deputies. Ahead of that, Mauck said two deputies have found jobs in neighboring counties. Sgt. Russ Lindner retired early this year, partly because of the budget problems. Another deputy has been accepted by the Secret Service. One deputy is on administrative leave after being charged on suspicion of DUI and he could lose his job. Another deputy took a voluntary layoff. “There is a reason these people are leaving,” he said. “I know for a fact they had no intention of working anywhere else.”
There is also language about attracting more agritourism to Whidbey Island by developing more events. She added better signs identifying Whidbey’s farms, a crop calender and advertising of farm events are also included in the program. If the interpretive plan increases the visibility of the
reserve, at least one resident has a concern about increasing the number of visitors to Ebey’s Landing. Karen Bishop, owner of Ebey Road Farm, wondered where all of the additional people will park when they visit the reserve. She noted that, during a recent wedding at Ebey’s Landing, cars were
parked along Ebey’s Road, effectively blocking one lane of the road. She was also concerned about the effect large numbers of cars parked alongside Central Whidbey roads would have on the visual scenery that makes the area popular. “I just hope the have a good plan for that,” Bishop said.

Oak Harbor moves forward with sewer outfall fix By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
A decision to reroute treated effluent to its lagoon facility on the Seaplane Base will solve Oak Harbor’s broken sewer outfall problem but the solution is not without risk, city officials say. According to Wastewater Operations Manager Steve Bebee, for the time being this is the best and most affordable way of dealing with the problem. However, shuttling the treated effluent to the lagoon site could put the facility in jeopardy of exceeding the concentration limits outlined in its state-issued permit. “We have parameters that we have to stay within,” Bebee said. On May 24, an 18-inch outfall from the city’s RBC treatment plant in Windjammer Park failed. The line, which extends about 1,100 feet into Oak Harbor Bay, broke about 290 feet from shore and water could be seen bubbling up from the tide flats. A small robot fitted with a camera was sent down the line, and except for the break, it appeared to be in good overall condition. However, the City Council authorized $75,000 for an emergency patch job and during the repair it was determined that the pipe was in much worse shape than first thought. Bebee said the robot only traveled down about 90-feet of the line. It turned out about three-fourths of the outfall, starting from the break, was peppered with softball sized holes. City staff have been scratching their heads ever since trying to figure out how
to address the problem over the long term. While replacing the line seems like the obvious solution, it would be expensive and is complicated by the city’s plans to build a new wastewater treatment plan by 2017. The plant site has yet to be determined. “To spend a bunch of money on an outfall that may or may not be in that location didn’t make sense,” Bebee said. The options considered varied widely in cost, from $54,000 for a slip line - essentially a sleeve that fits inside the broken line - to up to $1 million for a brand new larger outfall that could be used with the new facility. But again, without knowing for sure where the new treatment plant will be built all that money could go to waste for what would be a temporary fix. “Of all the options we looked at, this is probably the most cost effective, and carries the least risk in terms of dollars and cents,” said City Engineer Eric Johnston, in a presentation to City Council members during a recent Public Works Standing Committee meeting. As for the permit problem, Johnston told the committee it is not an insurmountable obstacle. It’s simply a matter of vigilance. Facility staff will have to constantly monitor the situation to insure that water concentrations stay within the guidelines of the state Department of Ecology issued permit. While there is a risk that the permit limits could be exceeded, Bebee agreed that the problem is manageable. In the event of a problem, the

What would have been a much larger problem is if the City Council had not authorized a diversion pump upgrade at the RBC plant in 2009. If the pump and generator had not been added, the city could have had no other choice but to accept one of the more expensive solutions, Bebee said. “Had we not done that, we would have been in a world of hurt,” he said.

Workers patch a broken sewer outfall shortly after it burst this past May. Oak Harbor city staff have since decided to turn off the outfall permanently and shuttle the water to its lagoon facility on the Seaplane Base.

IN OUR OPINION
Dino Rossi in stimulus land U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi picked a strange place to pitch his “small government” philosophy Friday, and the results were mixed. The Republican, a two-time loser for governor to Chris Gregoire, this time is trying to knock off 16-year senatorial incumbent Patty Murray. He’s depicting her as a big-spender and branded her as an earmarker, but on Whidbey Island those characterizations aren’t necessarily bad. Whidbey Island has depended on the federal government for a share of the cost of constructing badly needed new ferries. On South Whidbey, Rossi heard that its largest private employer, Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, had benefitted greatly from federal stimulus spending, from government boat contracts to $841,000 for new equipment. Rossi’s campaign didn’t mention that in its post-tour news release. What Rossi did mention was his tour in Oak Harbor of Krieg Construction and Krieg Concrete, where the owners complained of too much government regulation. Rossi took advantage of the opening to knock the cost of federal spending, from the stimulus funds to the new health care plan. Ironically, Krieg Construction directly benefited from stimulus spending, though nobody wanted to talk about that. The company won a county contract for construction on Ault Field Road; it was funded through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Oddly, no mentioned was of the elephant in the room, that being the biggest federal project of all on Whidbey Island -- the Naval Air Station. Without its massive payroll Oak Harbor would go back to what it once was -- the third largest city on Whidbey Island. If the Navy left or was significantly cut back, Oak Harbor would be financially devastated. On his tour, Rossi found that Nichols Brothers wants more stimulus money, not less, and he must have noticed that nobody around here is proposing a reduction in Navy spending. Murray, of course, is willing to spend more for anything that creates jobs. This is not to say that Rossi is wrong in his desire for a smaller federal government. But it does demonstrate that he’s picked a campaign them will be a tough sell during tough times.

Letters to the editor Feedback
County assesses property too high The citizens of Island Country are being ripped off horribly by the assessor and commissioners. The housing market crashed three years ago to at least 25 percent of the high water mark, yet our assessments are being maintained at that high level. This causes all homeowners to pay excess property taxes plus we are also required to pay excess homeowners insurance. Add the numbers up and you’ll find that the county owes homeowners well over a million in rebates and penalties. Roy Lesher Camano Island
Street was better before the rebuild The North Oak Harbor Street project is about finished and folks who must use this road on a regular basis are plum worn out. A few questions: Why was a perfectly good sidewalk on the west side of the street ripped out and replaced by a porous piece of asphalt supposed to be shared by pedestrians and cyclists? Most Washington cities forbid the use of bicycles on any walkway. You better not try it. Who thought up the interesting experiment of cement islands in the middle of city streets, thus creating an obstacle course? Do you think a large mobile home with a car hitched to the back or a semi could ever make a right turn at the bottom of Crosby Street where a cement island prevents you from
making a normal wide turn so that your back wheels won’t go over the sidewalk? Use another road. I’m glad someone noticed the five-inch original high cement borders of the flower boxes were inviting the possibility of a car or truck riding over the rim in dog or darkness. The vehicle would never be able to back out under its own power and would need a tow truck! New, driver-friendly, low boxes were installed. I really liked Oak Harbor Street better before about a million and a half dollars were spent on it. What a waste! Lawrence B. Young Oak Harbor
Don’t swerve for pedestrians Regarding: Dangerous Zylstra Road curve claims another crash (Whidbey News-Times, Aug. 18). I would like to address something that I think is going to cause a real bad accident someday. Lots of people walk the roads here. We all know they don’t have decent shoulders on the roads. I am tired of oncoming cars coming over a hill or crossing a solid yellow line into my lane to “go around” a pedestrian. First of all, if people would slow down, there is no need to leave your lane. Move over as far as possible and slow down! You will not strike the pedestrian walking toward or away from you. There is enough room on your side for both of you. One of these days someone is going to swerve out of their lane to avoid a walker and ram into the oncoming car. Maybe me! Stay in your own lane. Please. Rando Black Oak Harbor
Election
This candidate is uniquely unqualified
I personally hope that the status quo of politics finds a new level this election day, a level never before imagined. I feel that America needs it to recover. The government needs to fear the voters for a change. I will admit openly that I am an unabashed conservative and hope that the liberal-progressives currently in power suffer a resounding electoral defeat the likes none of us have seen in our lifetimes. To that end, I feel I must point out a hangeron, one who should not under any circumstances, be swept into office by the rising tide of the coming election. That person is running for the Island County Clerk position and her name is Carol Ann Fortune. I vote all non-legislative races without the bias of political party because I want the most qualified person to hold the office. That is the way we elect judges and it usually works very well. Political affiliation in these offices is akin to lipstick on a pig and that’s the way it should be. I believe Carol Ann Fortune is uniquely unqualified for this position and should be given no consideration as such. I believe she would be a disaster for this county due to her unique lack of qualification for this position. Ask yourself, would you vote her into the Superior Court position? She’s as qualified for that as she is county clerk. Ignore political affiliation and vote for Deputy Clerk Debra Van Pelt in November. Scott Smith Oak Harbor

America’s heroes honored in motorcycle rumble By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
America’s prisoners of war and missing in action were honored and remembered in Oak Harbor last week by both the roar of motorcycles and soft, heartfelt words. Friday, Sept. 17, was National POW/MIA Recognition Day. And, for the second year in a row, riders clad in black leather clothes from several motorcycle clubs gathered in mass to show their support by rumbling down the length of Whidbey Island. The more than 100 riders participating in the rally left the Chief Petty Officers Club in Oak Harbor at about 9 a.m. and rode non-stop to the Clinton ferry terminal. On the return trip, they made one quick stop at the soccer fields at Fort Casey before pulling up to the POW/MIA Memorial on the Seaplane Base at about 11 a.m. Despite the blanket of heavy fog, and a fatal accident that detoured traffic on a portion of Highway 20, most riders said they had a pretty good time. “The temperature was perfect,” Coupeville resident Lenny Brown said. Brown participated in the 2009 rally as well. It’s hard to beat riding down Whidbey Island with a column of fellow motorcyclists, he said. But, as a retired master chief with the U.S. Navy, the purpose behind the ride is far more meaningful. “It’s more for the cause than the destination,” Brown said. The road rally is the machination of Lt. Cmdr. Brian Danielson of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station’s VAQ 134.
He started the rally in 2009 to honor the sacrifice made by POWs and MIAs, along with recognizing the groups and individuals dedicated to bringing these lost heroes home. “I’m personally attached to this day,” said Danielson, in a ceremony following the ride. “My father was MIA for 38 years.” Danielson’s father, Capt. Ben Danielson, was shot down in his F-4C Phantom over Mu Gia Pass in Laos in 1969. After a lifetime spent wondering what became of him, in 2003 he was informed that a lead had been discovered as to the location of his father’s remains. In 2006, he traveled to the excavation site in Laos with a 45-member team from Joint MIA/POW Accounting Command. Digging side by side with members of the group, sometimes with just their bare hands, Danielson searched for the bones of his father. “It was a pretty painful thing,” said Danielson, in an interview following the ceremony. “I was, and as far as I know, am still the only family member who has participated in a dig.” Friday’s ceremony also included remarks from chaplain Lt. Cmdr. Philip King and Island County Commissioner Angie Homola, who, like many in the crowd, was dressed in black leathers. She participated in the ride with her husband Jerry Homola. Although not a motorcycle owner himself, Danielson said he got the idea for a rally from the role played by the Patriot Guard Riders, a national motorcycle club, at his father’s funeral.

Pete Sill, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars motorcycle club in Oak Harbor, gets ready to ride home after a rally honoring POWs and MIAs Friday, Sept. 17. The group was formed to shield families and funerals from protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church. The organization claims the deaths of American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are the result of God’s anger over American tolerance of homosexuality. The Club shrugged off the Westboro faction and performed its function perfectly, said Danielson, forever earning the respect and gratitude of himself and his family. “There are no greater fans of motorcycle noise than the families of repatriated MIAs,” he said.

A cow stands a good chance in modern politics Editor’s column
By Jim Larsen
For the first time in memory a cow has entered Island County politics, and truth be told we like her chances. The silhouette of a healthy cow —- we’re guessing a Holstein — dots the Whidbey Island countryside. Written across the cow in block letters is the name of the candidate, Mary Engel, who is running
against Dave Mattens for assessor. Mattens doesn’t have a cow in his advertising. He opts for looking visionary from among a field of red, white and blue. As the incumbent, he’s going to have a hard time beating the cow. The cow tells us that Engel comes from a farm family and there’s a tiny “R” near the cow’s leg that tells us she’s a Republican. But the name and party may not even be necessary. In its present mood, the electorate may simply be happy to see a cow elected to office. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says a cow can’t run, as long as it is of a certain age, is registered to vote and pays the filing fee. Last week I saw a cow standing in line at
the Department of Motor Vehicles, making a motor voter request. Don’t be surprised in 2011 if you see cows driving their own electionmobiles. I can’t think of an office an elected cow couldn’t supervise. The hired staff does most of the actual work, while the elected official, be it cow or human, mostly goes to training sessions and give speeches to the Rotary Club. Rotary members would appreciate a simple “moo!” in place of the long-winded pontifications to which they’ve grown accustomed. The cow would pick up considerable Rotarian support with her simple speech. Cows could even serve in higher office, including President of the
United States. A contented Holstein would bring some badly needed humility to the job and lower expectations dramatically. A cow would not have been blamed for Hurricane Katrina. What, a cow’s supposed to control the weather? Critics of the presidential cow would have been laughed off the Sunday talk shows. A presidential cow would positively improve American foreign policy, which under humans has been a disaster. Just give the President a plentiful supply of hay, all the clean water she can drink and an occasional lick of salt, and she’ll never decide to invade some hapless foreign country. Foreigners would go out of their way to keep our president
contented. Terrorists would be confined to burning alfalfa fields, but FBI agents in bib overalls armed with pitchforks could take care of them. Mary Engel’s cow just might be enough to carry her to victory in the race for Island County assessor. Voters like and trust cows and enjoy their presence in the countryside. They’re what make Island County rural. The dark secret is that at some point they’re butchered and turned into hamburger for Big Macs and Quarter Pounders. Perhaps Mr. Mattens should wear a McDonald’s uniform in his campaign pictures.

Wildcats wallop Shorewood 46-7 By JIM WLLER Sports editor
A lightning strike to start the game, domination at the line of scrimmage and a heavy dose of Josiah Miller carried the Oak Harbor High School football team to a 46-7 win over Shorewood at Shoreline Stadium Friday, Sept. 17. The win was the first in three tries for the Wildcats this fall; Shorewood is also 1-2. This Friday Oak Harbor hosts 3-0 Everett in the annual homecoming game at Wildcat Memorial Stadium beginning at 7:30. Oak Harbor head coach Jay Turner said Everett is strong at the skill positions and that quarterback Spencer McKinnon “is probably the fastest player in the league.” McKinnon is second in the Wesco 3A in passing and fourth in rushing. Against Shorewood, Isaiah Trower returned the opening kickoff 78 yards to put Oak Harbor on the board just seconds into the contest. Peter Franssen kicked the PAT. Shorewood evened the score when Eugene Holley broke from a gang of tacklers and raced 32 yards for a TD just one play after the Thunderbirds gained possession on an interception. That 32-yard run would account for a third of Shorewood’s offense as the Oak Harbor front line shut down the T-birds’ running game. Shorewood gained just 104 yards on 31 carries; the total doesn’t take into account a minus 16 yards from five fumbles mishandled and recovered in the backfield. Two Thunderbird quarterbacks completed six of 12 passes for only 24 yards; two passes were intercepted, both by Miller. Meanwhile the Oak Harbor O-line helped the Wildcats rush for 229 yards on 34 carries and gave quarterback Matt Burgoyne plenty of time as he hit nine of 14 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns; he had one interception. With the score tied 7-7, Oak Harbor drove 79 yards to take the lead on Miller’s 9-yard run with 2:21 left in the first quarter. Sam Wolfe kicked the PAT. Miller struck again, this time from the defensive side when he picked off a pass

Oak Harbor’s Josiah Miller, right, avoids the tackle of Tyler Snell at the beginning of a 51-yard punt return for a touchdown. Miller scored three more times, once off an interception and twice rushing, in the big Wildcat win. another TD with 10 minutes left in the half. The point after kick failed. Miller wasn’t through. With 6:24 left in the half, he zipped through the T-bird punt coverage unit for a 51-yard a touchdown. That made it 26-7. After another Shorewood punt, Oak Harbor drove 55 yards and scored on Burgoyne’s 9-yard completion to Aaron Boesch. Wolfe kicked the extra point. The Wildcats finished the first-half scoring when Burgoyne connected with Zach Ayer on a 27-yard middle screen. The ‘Cats led at the break 39-7. Oak Harbor threw only one pass in the second half and chewed up the game clock with a punishing ground game. Reserves played much of the fourth quarter. The lone score in the second half came when Oak Harbor forced the Thunderbirds to punt from their end zone. Justin Counts returned the boot to the 17, and moments later Miller collected another touchdown when he slipped in from 14 yards out. Frank Grecco kicked the extra point. Miller finished with 91 yards rushing on nine carries. Brent Ryan had 45 yards on nine totes and Ayer had 40 on eight. Nine Wildcats carried the ball in the game. Although Oak Harbor was missing two starters on the offensive line, Turner said

Massey and his defensive teammates limited the T-birds to just 112 yards of total offense. the unit played well: “We had some young, inexperienced guys really step up.” Nick Farrell and Jeremy Foster made their first starts; others up front were Josh McVey, Robert Beadles, Cody Hernkind and Ben Miller. The defensive line of Kyle Frank, Ryan and Boesch also left its mark. Turner was pleased with his entire defense: “I really think it was
a team effort.” He added, “I thought Sam Wolfe (defensive back, running back, wide receiver) played his best overall game of his high school career.” Turner called the game “fun” and said his club met all four of its game goals: play great defense, play great special teams, win the turnover margin and eliminate mental mistakes.
The Oak Harbor girls cross country team finished first out of 93 teams at the Three Course Challenge at Camp Rilea in Seaside, Ore., Saturday, Sept. 18. The Wildcat boys were 15th in the contest that featured schools from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California. The teams divided their runners into three different groups to race over three different courses. The easy course covered 4,500 meters, the moderate course 5,100 and the difficult 5,500. The moderate and difficult courses included a mud pit, which “was huge due to all the rain they’ve had,” according to coach Eric Peterson. The difficult course cut through the woods and up side hills. Peterson said, “It is steep, uneven and tough, but the kids really liked it.” Team scores were determined by the top two finishers in the easy and moderate races and the top three in the difficult race. The Oak Harbor girls won Division 1, the largest division, over 22 teams with 65 points, the best score of any team at the competition. Tahoma was a distant second with 146. All seven Wildcat girls finished in the top 21 of their races. Adrianna Royal (21:44) and Allison Duvenez (22:40) earned the highest individual honors by finishing second and fourth out of 341 runners in the moderate race. Christina Wicker (24:33), Abigail Leete (24:39) and
Alex Laiblin (25:25) went 7-8-21 out of 288 in the difficult race. Over the easy course, Hannah Bressler (20:10) and Olivia Meyer finished 10th and 13th out of 315. Peterson said, “The girls were excited to see how they matched up with some of the top teams in Oregon and Washington, and they delivered.” He said he was impressed with the performances of seniors Royal, Duvenez and Leete, and that newcomers Bressler, Laiblin and Meyer “really stepped up.” He added that Wicker “really improved through track and over the summer” and “put together a solid performance.” Peterson was also pleased with his young boys team “considering some of the races had over 500 athletes in them.” He said, “For a couple of the runners, it was their first ‘big’ meet so we were able to overcome the butterflies and have a great day of racing (and jumping in the mud pit).” Matt Reith (19:06) led the boys with a seventh in the moderate race; Chris Opdyke (22:42) was 137th out of 471. Over the hard course, John Kaltenbach (21:37) was 44th out of 532; Wyatt Homola (22:59) and Michael Kincy (23:01) were 116th and 120th. Thomas Honeycutt (18:54) and Adriel Eckart (19:09) were 88th and 96th out of 396 over the easy course.

Lakewood stops Wolves Lakewood combined a pounding ground game with the aerial antics of quarterback Justin Lane to defeat the Coupeville football team 48-14 Friday, Sept. 17, on the Cougars’ field. Lane, a four-year starter who has thrown for over 6,000 yards in his career, was expected to be the center of the offense, but he received plenty of help from his rushing attack on a night when steady rain made passing dicey. The Cougars jumped to an 8-0 lead in the first quarter, but Coupeville’s Mitch Pelroy returned the ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown and the Wolves narrowed the gap to 8-6. It was the second week in a row Pelroy has returned a kickoff for a score. Sticking mainly with it running game, the Cougars pounded out another score. Again the Wolves responded, this time on a scoring strike from Ian Smith to Pelroy and Coupeville trailed 16-14 at the quarter. Lakewood went to the air in the second quarter as Lane threw 20 of his 33 passes during the period and lifted the Cougars to a 35-14 halftime bulge. Lane finished the game 18 for 33 for 199 yards; however the Wolves grabbed three interceptions,
all by Smith. As the game worn on, the Wolves wore out, according to coach Jay Silver and the Lakewood running game became more effective and ate up the clock. Silver said the game was closer than the score might indicate. He said, “Change six or seven plays, and it would have been a different game.” Lakewood recovered three onside kicks and stopped Coupeville five times on fourth and short situations to keep control of the game. The Wolves also dropped two passes in the end zone and lost a fumble. Smith finished the game 13 for 36 for 124 yards and a touchdown, and he ran 10 times for 75 yards. Pelroy led the receivers with five catches for 72 yards and the score. Dalton Engle added 43 yards on the ground on nine carries. Coupeville’s pass defense was shaky the previous week at King’s, but Silver said against Lakewood “it was much better; we didn’t give up a lot of big plays.” Silver said, “We still got some positives from the game. It was a hard hitting game and we were very physical.” The Wolves will try to get back on the winning track this Friday, Sept. 24, when they host Sultan (0-3) at 7 p.m.

Goebel, defense lead ‘Cats to win
John Fisken, Whdibey News-Times
Millie Goebel, shown above against Shorecrest, scored three goals in the Wildcats’ win over Lynnwood.
After squandering several scoring chances in the first half, the Oak Harbor girls soccer team, behind Millie Goebel, punched in three second half goals to defeat visiting Lynnwood 3-0 Saturday, Sept. 18. Senior Goebel scored all three Wildcat goals with freshmen Annie Leete assisting twice and Chelsea Atkinson once. Her goals came at the 50th, 65th and 75th minute marks. While Goebel and company were leading the offense, the Oak Harbor defense behind keeper Jordan Boucher earned its second shutout of the season. Clarissa Abadesco, Ashley Everett, MaKenzie Schneider, Jessica Burns, Lily Mosolino and Maura McKole “provided an iron curtain back line,” according to coach Jeff Laiblin. Laiblin added, “I can’t emphasize enough how much a team effort this game was. We played all 17 players, with each coming in and doing her job in this victory. I am proud of all my girls.” Oak Harbor (1-2, 2-3) plays Mountlake Terrace (0-3, 0-5) here Thursday, Sept. 23, at 7:30 p.m.

Whidbey celebrates legacy of legendary guitarist at DjangoFest ByPATRICIA DUFF South Whidbey Record
It’s time to party like a rock star. Or a gypsy, as the occasion would have it. The popular DjangoFest, which usually sells out all of the available hotel rooms of Langley for five days in September, gets ready to celebrate its 10th anniversary this year when islanders and out-of-towners alike will be treated to a stellar lineup of musicians. It also celebrates the centennial birthday of Django Reinhardt. Nearly 60 years after his death, legendary guitarist Reinhardt, the icon for whom the festival is named, is still one of the most respected players of all time. DjangoFest NW 2010, under the leadership of artistic director Nick Lehr and executive director Stacie Burgua, starts today, Sept. 22 and goes through Sunday, Sept. 26. Headliners include the Angelo Debarre Quartet with Ludovic Beier, Paulus Schäfer with Tim Kliphuis, and the John Jorgenson Quintet. Organizers say the festival is the premier showcase of gypsy jazz music in North America, having presented

This year’s concerts feature festival favorites in addition to some talented newcomers. The lineup also includes Howard Alden with Bucky Pizzarelli and Bria Skonberg, Hot Club of Detroit, Pearl Django, Robin Nolan Trio, Gonzalo Bergara Quartet,
Kruno with Ludovic Beier, Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan, Caravan (the Marc Atkinson Trio with Daniel Lapp), Van Django, Hot Club Sandwich, Billet-Deux, Douce Ambience, Doug Martin Avatar Ensemble with Annie Staninec and the Nick Lehr Quartet featuring David Seriff. Many of these perform-
ers will be conducting workshops in the mornings and afternoons during the festival in such forms as gypsy jazz guitar, violin, waltzes, swing and “Dutch Style,” to name a few. These are master musicians teaching technique — a coup of a lesson for any performer. Also, the festival wouldn’t
be the festival without a bit of “djamming” — spontaneous groups of musicians performing in and outside various locations in Langley — which will go on non-stop for the five-day celebration of music. New this year is a “Biere Garden” on the Zech Rehearsal Hall lawn, featuring a specialty brew by Langley’s Old World Ales and a gallery of artwork by 20 Island County Fair award-winners in the lobby of the theater. Tickets range from $24 to $60, and are available by calling 221-8268 or 800-638-7631.

Shawna was asked to the dance after finding flowers and a letter hidden in her locker. Homecoming week peaks this weekend with a football game
on Saturday themed “A Night in Disguise.” In order to pump up the football players for the big day, Wildcat cheerleaders will spend their Friday decorating the town and stadium with balloons and serving the team a catered lunch. “I’ve done it every year, and it’s really fun,” senior cheerleader Kim Smith said, “but it can get hectic.” After coming off a win last weekend, Kim said she’s hopeful that the Wildcats will come through for the school on Friday. Across the island in Coupeville, the Wolves will celebrate their homecoming game on Friday, Oct. 8 against Cedarcrest.

Bike to battle cancer By KATIE MCVICKER
Event breakdown
Staff reporter
Bicycle designer and marketer Grant Petersen said, “Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the world.” Well, it’s a pretty safe bet that he wasn’t talking about the Tour de Whidbey at the time. In fact, it’s a pretty safe bet that Petersen has never heard of the Tour de Whidbey. Nevertheless, his words describe it well. This weekend, a record breaking number of bicyclists are expected to participate in the ninth annual Tour de Whidbey, a fundraiser for the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation. Last year the event raised nearly $50,000 and had more than 500 people attend. The event takes place on Saturday, Sept. 25, and riders have their choice between 10, 28, 40, 50, 60 and 100-mile routes. The routes span across the island, but all of them, except for the family-friendly 10-mile ride, start at the Greenbank Farm. The routes are clearly marked, and there are several break stations for participants along the way. Unlike past years, this year there will be a break stop in Langley to encourage bikers to see the town. Whidbey General Hospital Foundation Executive Director Laura Blankenship said her main intent is to bring people in to raise money for the hospital, but she also wants to highlight the island’s beauty so visitors will be encouraged to come back. “Every year we just try to give a better experience to the riders and try to introduce them into the different areas of Whidbey Island,” she said. Registration forms can be found online or can be completed at the event. The cost, ranging between $0 and 100, covers route directions, maps, a pancake breakfast, break station refreshments and a chili feed. The
Registration: 28-100-mile rides, 7 to 9:30 a.m. at Greenbank Farm; 10-mile ride, noon to 3 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center of the Coupeville MiddleHigh School. Pancake breakfast: 6:30 to 9 a.m. at Greenbank Farm. Adaptive Bike Demonstration: Noon to 4 p.m. in the parking lot of the Performing Arts Center. Chili feed: Noon to 4 p.m. at Greenbank Farm, and noon to 4 p.m. at the Coupeville registration site. More information: whidbeygen.org.
money raised will go towards a new urology endoscopy system, which is used for the surgical intervention of bladder and prostrate cancer. In addition to the rides, rehabilitation hospital staff will put on an adaptive bicycle demonstration at the Performing Arts Center of the Coupeville Middle-High School that gives people the opportunity to try out hand cycles, recumbent tricycles, side-by-side recumbent tandems and stick steering trikes. These specialty bikes make it possible for people with physical or mental disabilities to ride easier. Also, the emergency services staff will perform helmet checks for people to ensure it is secured properly. They have a few free helmets to give away. Blankenship said the Tour events wouldn’t be possible without the help of nearly 150 volunteers. One of the main sponsors this year is the Whidbey Island Bank. Its staff will be running a break station for the family ride. “This event is good for the island,” the bank’s Vice President and Marketing Manager Mary Bailey said. “We want to support the hosptial and make sure that the hospital has the equipment and materials they need to help everybody.”
Kites fly high over Camp Casey By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Blustery weather will benefit local kite flyers participating in an annual festival on Central Whidbey Island. In its 15th year, the Whidbey Island Kite Festival will provide one of the last chances of the year for people to fly their favorite kites on the wind swept fields of the Camp Casey Conference Center Sept. 25 and Sept. 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Despite its fall date, the festival has traditionally been blessed with favorable weather. “Two years ago for the

first time it rained,” said Mel Vance, one of the organizers for the festival. “We’ve been pretty lucky as far as rain goes.” The two-day festival features a variety of high-flying events including a stunt-kite competition, single-line kite competition, a teddy bear drop and kite making for children. On Saturday, Sept. 25, an indoor kite-flying event will take place at the Coupeville High School gymnasium. Vance said the kite flying festival attracts between 20 and 30 kite flyers and so far about a dozen have signed up. The Whidbey Island Kite
Festival started in Everett before moving to its current location overlooking Admiralty Inlet. Vance said the conference center provides excellent winds for folks to fly kites in addition to spectacular views. “You’re right there with a view of Port Townsend and the Strait of Juan de Fuca,” Vance said. “People just love it.” The Whidbey Island Kite Festival is free and is presented by the Whidbey Island Kite Festival Association and the Whidbey Island Kite Flyers.

Boy Scouts practiced making smoke signals to a Port Angeles United States Coast Guard helicopter during a planned rescue last weekend.
Boy Scouts ‘rescued’ in Coupeville On Saturday, Sept. 11, 13 Boy Scouts from Coupeville’s Historic Troop 4058 were joined by eight Scouts from Bellevue’s Troop 626 and wandered into the “wilderness” of the backwoods of Harrington Ridge Estates. Here they became “lost”: just enough to practice their skills at locating and treating water, first aid, starting a campfire without a match, staying warm, building and sleeping in shelters made from what nature has to offer, and signaling for help. This was a coordinated event for the scouts with the Port Angeles United States Coast Guard which dispatched an orange and white Dauphin SAR helicopter to locate the Boy Scouts and simulated a rescue. The weather was great, all survived the

Drill tests Whidbey responders By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Justin Burnett/Whidbey News-Times
Boy Scouts from Troupe 4058 Robert Parkhurst, 11, and Dominick Norberg, 12, show off the gory but fake wounds they supposedly sustained from a mock ferry explosion.
A training exercise meant to test Whidbey Island emergency responders turned the parking lot at Keystone Harbor into a disaster area Monday evening. Scattered throughout a concentration of twisted and burned out vehicles, people of all ages with fake but gruesome injuries cried out in mock pain. Mothers begged firefighters for the whereabouts of their children. The area was littered with the bodies of the maimed and dying. It was all fake of course, the simulation of a ferry explosion meant to strain if not overwhelm Whidbey Island’s emergency response agencies, including Whidbey
Justin Burnett/Whidbey News-Times
Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue firefighters James Meek, Tyson Diffie, and Leah Kalahiki move a “victim” to a staging area during a training exercise at Keystone Harbor Monday, Sept. 20. Firefighter Derik Vrable can be seen standing in the background. General Hospital. None of the approximately 20 “victims” that participated in the exercise were actually hurt, although they did a good job pretending to be. Along with some coaching on how to act, each had their injuries made up by a professional makeup artist from Everett. While they ranged from minor burns to bloody compound bone fractures, each looked very real. Some of the victims were looking forward to giving the performance of a lifetime. “It’s going to be cool,” said 12-year-old Dominick Norberg, a few minutes before the exercise began. Norberg was one of sev-
eral Boy Scouts from Troop 4058 who volunteered for the training drill as a way to earn emergency preparedness merit badges. The fake injuries and pitiful moans coming from the actor/victims made for an eerily realistic scene, which is just the way it was supposed to be, said Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue Chief Ed Hartin, director of Monday’s phony catastrophe. The more realistic it is, the more effective the training. The purpose of the exercise was to give Whidbey Island responders a chance to train for a mega disaster, a situation in which the wounded outnumber the res-
cuers. The event is designed to strain their capacity and force all the various agencies to work cooperatively. “They all have to fit together and manage well,” Hartin said. A mock ferry explosion, in which a large number of victims are in a variety of life-threatening situations — the exercise included a water rescue — is an excellent, and very possible scenario, Hartin said. About 50 people from at least eight agencies participated in the event. To create the disaster zone, eight old vehicles, including a burned out Island Transit bus, were corralled within a small area of the parking lot. Firefighters were tasked with not only systematically searching the vehicles for victims, but also evaluating, separating and treating them based on the severity of their injuries. The exercise moved to Whidbey General Hospital with the transport of the victims. Like the firefighters, hospital staff were faced with a challenging hypothetical situation in which they lost the capacity to move patients to another hospital. Again, the idea was to overwhelm them with a large-scale event. According to Hartin, the entire event lasted about three-and-a-half hours. An official debrief has yet to occur, but some lessons were obvious. While emergency responders demonstrated excellent task management and patient care skills, communication between all the various agencies could use some improvement. That wasn’t much of a surprise, said Hartin, considering the size and scale of the exercise. “That’s almost always the case with these kind of events,” he said.
