Cemetery district dispute erupts
Big stores on Whidbey make a run for liquor
By JESSIE STENSLAND
Booze will soon start flowing out of some of Whidbey Island’s largest stores. Thanks to Initiative 1183, which voters approved in November, the state has to get out of the liquor business by June. At that time, stores greater than 10,000 square feet can start selling hard alcohol in addition to the beer and wine they currently offer. At least nine Whidbey Island businesses have applied for licenses that will allow for the sale of spirits. They include Albertson’s, Safeway, Saar’s Market Place, Walmart and Walgreens in Oak Harbor; Prairie Center Red Apple in Coupeville; and the Goose, the Star Store, Payless Foods and Bailey’s Corner Store on South Whidbey Island, according to information from the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Greg Saar, owner of Saar’s Market Place on Highway 20 in Oak Harbor, said the initiative transformed the state from one of the most restric-

Two commissioners for the Island County Cemetery District 1 held a special meeting Monday night to deal with the resignation of the third commissioner and instead faced an uprising over their decision to suspend three employees without pay. The commissioners aren’t saying exactly why cemetery supervisor Michael Dougliss, secretary and treasurer Joan Dougliss and groundskeeper David Watson were suspended, but it came the day after an alleged physical altercation between Michael Dougliss and the commissioner who resigned. More than 20 concerned citizens crowded into the little office at Maple Leaf Cemetery, just north of Oak Harbor, for the meeting called by the commissioners. Many of the people expressed anger and frustration about the suspension of the employees — who are members of the same family — and the lack of information about the reason behind the suspensions. Gary Wallin, owner of funeral home next to the cemetery, spoke in support of Dougliss and questioned why the commissioners weren’t allowing public comment at the meeting, which they eventually did. He accused them of “impugning the integrity” of the

They were recently suspended from their jobs at the cemetery, but claim they don’t know why. employees. Cemetery Commissioner Ann Abrahams stood up to the angry crowd. She and her husband, who was also attended, reminded everyone that the commissioners are essentially unpaid volunteers just trying to look after a public cemetery. She claimed that the employees haven’t been truthful. “They are suspended without pay because they brought a situation on themselves that has to be investigated,” she said.
“We have an incident here where boundaries were crossed. Serious boundaries were crossed,” she said later, adding that the commissioners are going to review how the cemetery is being run. Abrahams and Commissioner Bob Little said there’s going to be an investigation, but wouldn’t say who’s going to do the investigation or what will be investigated. They explained that they See dispute, A4
tive places to sell alcohol into one of the most flexible. He is planning to have 40 feet of shelf space devoted to liquor and doesn’t have to provide any additional training for his staff. He was proud to say that his staff never once sold to underage buyers whenever the Liquor Control Board conducted stings. Ken Hofkamp, owner of Prairie Center Red Apple in Coupeville, acknowledged he has applied for a liquor license, but he isn’t sure yet if he will expand into alcohol sales. With so many businesses on Whidbey Island planning to expand into liquor sales, Saar noted that it won’t be a big boost to business. There will be more businesses meeting a demand that was originally filled by one liquor store in Oak Harbor. Meanwhile, small liquor operators are scrambling to figure out the new regulations and whether the change will be a benefit to their operation. “It’s going to be a hassle,” See Liquor, A4
Island County plans more asphalt on roads this summer By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Island County is expected to spend more than $3.9 million taking care of roads this summer. According to Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works, this year’s paving and oiling program will see the maintenance of more than 46 miles, or about 8 percent, of the county’s total 582 miles of roadway. Last year’s program saw
less than 30 miles of roadwork, costing about $3 million. Oakes said additional money was taken out of the six-year capital projects fund this year to pay for the extra miles. While more is being spent, Oakes said regular maintenance on roads when it’s required is actually cheaper in the long run. Delaying the work can be more expensive because roads deteriorate to the point that they need to
be replaced, which is much more expensive. “It’s cheaper to keep good roads good than letting good roads go bad,” Oakes said during a recent work session with the Island County commissioners. There was some discussion by the board concerning cost. Commissioner Angie Homola supported the proposed work, but worried about the future impact of taking money from the capi-
tal projects fund. “There are lots of other things that need to be fixed,” Homola said. Commissioner Kelly Emerson offered an alternative of spending a little less, saying that some of the work could be delayed until the Keystone oil pipeline is built and oil prices drop, which may result in cheaper asphalt and increase county gas-tax revenue. Her proposal saw little trac-
tion among her colleagues. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Homola both said they thought that was too big a gamble to take, that delay might mean the transition from a road that can be maintained to one that must be replaced. Homola said the compromise would be to have fewer people driving on roads. Regular use and weather are what cause them to require repair and both are hard
things to manage. “So we’d have to change the weather or we’d have to limit the people on the road for the roads to somehow not mature,” Homola said. See Roads, A4

Dispute CONTINUED FROM A1 can’t legally go into details about personnel issues in public, even though the suspended employees were present and wanted to have the issues aired. “That’s the trap they are setting for me and Bob so they can go after the cemetery,” Abrahams said. Dougliss said he and his family are in the dark about the reason for the suspension, but he guessed it was retaliation for calling the cops on a commissioner last week. Also, he feels the employees are being targeted because they are all family members. Dougliss has run the cemetery since 1997 and was a cemetery commissioner before that. His wife has worked there since 1989. Watson, his son-in-law, has been a groundskeeper for three years.
Dougliss and Watson explained that the incident at the center of the controversy occurred last Wednesday afternoon. Dougliss said longtime Cemetery Commissioner Jim Flowers was at the cemetery and started “nitpicking” over a few minor issues, including the purchase of an $89 software program they claim he had authorized. Angry words were exchanged and Flowers allegedly balled up a piece of paper, put it inside Dougliss’ jacket and pushed him, according to the account told by Dougliss and Watson. At his wife’s urging, Dougliss reported the incident to law enforcement. Deputy Lane Campbell investigated the complaint, but didn’t cite anyone involved. He said he was told that the argument between the two men was about employees allegedly overspending the budget. He said Flowers denied pushing
Dougliss. He said he spoke with Abrahams on the phone and she claimed similar allegations had been made in the past. Campbell felt the issue was resolved, especially with Flowers resigning. “The reality of the situation is that we have bigger fish to fry,” Campbell explained. “We’re got major crimes occurring all the time and if we can resolve the smaller issues on an adult level, that’s what we try to do.” Campbell said Abrahams called the sheriff’s office and requested a deputy to attend the Monday night meeting, but no deputies were available. He said she didn’t return his call prior to the meeting. Reached by phone Tuesday, Flowers said he wouldn’t comment about the allegations. He said his views about the cemetery district are a matter of public record. “The commissioners are elected by the taxpayers and
they have a difficult job to do,” he said. In his letter of resignation, Flowers wrote that he and the employees have different visions for the future of the cemetery and that an “impossible relationship was developed between us.” Dougliss said he didn’t want to press charges against Flowers, but he just wanted an official record of what occurred. But he said he was shocked when Abrahams and Little appeared the next day and told them all to hand over their keys. Another wrinkle in the story is that Commissioner Little was previously an employee at the cemetery district. Dougliss claimed he fired Little for insubordination and for acting inappropriately toward certain visitors. Little defeated longtime cemetery commissioner Dur Roberson in the last election. Dougliss feels it is a conflict of interest for Little to be involved in the decision to suspend him or any disciplinary investiga-

tion. During the meeting Monday, Abrahams accused the employees of refusing to hand over a digital camera, the dump card or the combination to the safe. Watson told her during the meeting where the combination was written and Dougliss said he simply forgot the card. Afterward, Joan Dougliss said she had no idea where the camera could be and that the employees always used her personal camera at the cemetery. After the meeting, most of the crowd congregated next door at the Wallin Funeral Home to discuss the situation and support Dougliss and his family. Coupeville resident Dale Sherman spoke in support of Dougliss and said it wasn’t unusual for a number of family members to be involved in maintaining a cemetery. He noted that generations of his own family has long been involved in Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville.

“Mike is one of the most honest people I’ve met in my entire life,” he said. Wallin said he was puzzled by the turn of events. He said he dealt with the cemetery for decades and found that Dougliss brought a professionalism to the operation. According to Dougliss, the cemetery district has an annual budget of about $160,000 a year and only around $25,000 comes from property taxes. Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider said Tuesday that she was concerned about claims she was told Abrahams made during the meeting about receiving legal information from the auditor’s office. Crider said the only conversation anyone in her office had with a cemetery commissioner was about who could pick up paperwork regarding vouchers. “There is some fabrication going on,” Crider said. “I’m concerned.

Alleged abductor of woman, child may have assaulted victim By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 22-year-old man who allegedly abducted a woman and her child Friday from a home near Freeland is also accused of raping the woman and threatening to kill the victims by driving his car off Deception Pass Bridge or the Coupeville Wharf, according to a deputy’s report on the incident. George Downey, a Greenbank resident, is being held in Island County jail on $750,000 bail. A judge found probable cause to hold him on suspicion of two counts of first-degree kidnapping, one count of first-degree rape, two counts of first-degree burglary, one count of felony violation of domestic violence
protection orders, reckless endangerment and malicious mischief. About an hour after the abduction, deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office pulled over Downey’s Jeep on Highway 20 near Coupeville, saving the woman and 4-year-old boy. Sheriff Mark Brown said the office was in the process of issuing an AMBER Alert --- a child abduction broadcast --- at the time of the arrest. Deputy Darren Crownover wrote the probable cause narrative of the incident. At 10:42 a.m. on Friday, a 22-year-old woman called 911 from her East Harbor Road home to report that Downey, her exboyfriend, was at her home
Police lock down middle school The Oak Harbor Middle School was locked down briefly last Thursday afternoon at the request of detectives. Lt. Tim Sterkel with the Oak Harbor Police Department said detectives were hoping to arrest a man near the school on outstanding warrants. The
detectives were concerned that the man might run through the track-area of the school grounds, so they asked for the lockdown to keep the students inside. Sterkel said the suspect never showed up, so the lockdown was called off after about a half an hour.
in violation of a restraining order. The woman screamed that he broke the window and then the phone went dead. Crownover and two other deputies quickly arrived at the house, but nobody was there. The window on the front door was broken and the door was ajar. The deputies went inside to check on the woman’s welfare and found blood on a banister and door. Crownover noted in his report that he is familiar with the issues between Downey and his ex-girlfriend. He realized that the woman’s son was also missing. The deputies put out an “attempt to locate” on the woman and child, as well as
Downey’s Jeep. At 11:26 a.m., two deputies located and stopped the Jeep on Highway 20 at Jacobs Road. During an interview with a detective, the woman explained that Downey broke into her house by breaking a window. She was hiding in the bathroom, but Downey broke down the door. She and her boy fled to a bedroom and hid in a closet until Downey dragged her out by the hair while she was holding the child in her arms, according to the deputy’s report. Downey forced them into his vehicle and left at a high rate of speed while the child was unsecured. Downey told the woman that “he
was going to drive them off the Deception Pass Bridge and kill them all,” the report states. Downey drove north to Greenbank. He turned off Highway 525 and drove off the road and over a fence to a residence he claimed belonged to a friend. He brought the woman and child to the house, apparently after breaking in. Downey returned the child to the vehicle and then led the woman to a bedroom where he allegedly raped her; he said he was angry because he thought she was seeing someone else and wanted to impregnate her, the deputy’s report alleges. After ward, Downey returned the woman to the
Jeep and continued driving north with her and the child. This time he told the woman that “he was going to drive off the Coupeville Wharf and kill them all,” the report states. But a short time later, the vehicle was pulled over by deputies. In an interview at the jail, Downey admitted to the deputy that he broke into the house and took the woman and boy while armed with a knife, Crownover wrote. Downey claimed he had consensual sex with the woman and that he was intending to turn himself in when he was stopped by deputies. The deadline for the Island County Prosecutor’s Office to file charges against Downey is Wednesday.
Parent-teacher conferences postponed to end of year The four snow days in January continue to have impacts on the school calendar. Parent-teacher conferences scheduled for April 19 and 20 in Oak Harbor schools have been postponed until the last two days of school, June 19 and 20. The same scenario occurred last year. “The big advantage of moving parent-teacher con-

ferences is it provides two extra learning days before students start state testing and before high school seniors take their final exams,” said Joe Hunt, communications director for the school district. Hunt pointed out that parents who feel they need an April conference time with teachers should not hesitate to request a meeting. Parents can call or email
teachers to make appointments any time of the year. A year’s end conference is a good time to talk about what each student can do over the summer to prepare for the next grade level, Hunt said. Thursday and Friday, April 19 and 20, which were originally scheduled as half days, are now full school days. Tuesday, May 29 was orig-
inally set aside as a makeup day, if needed, and is now a full school day. Friday, June 15, was formerly a half day and the last day of school but it is now a full day of school. Monday, June 18, will be the last day of school and will be a half day. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 19 and 20, are parentteacher conference days.

Page leaves Coupeville schools By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
It’s a bittersweet time for Patty Page. The Coupeville School District Superintendent has loved her tenure on Central Whidbey Island but decided to take a new position that will bring her closer to her family. The North Kitsap School District school board Monday evening named Page the new superintendent of the 6,700-student district that operates schools in Poulsbo, Kingston, Hansville, Indianola and Suquamish and has a $63.5 million budget. Page said that she was invested and loved working in Coupeville but had to take the opportunity to apply at a school district in the community where she grew up. The move would put her closer to her mother. Join us for a complimentary lunch, call (360) 679-1400 to make a date!
“It’s an exciting and sad time,” Page said. Applying for the North Kitsap position was a one-time deal because she wasn’t actively searching for a new job. She said she’s accepted the position but a contract still has to be approved. In the meantime, she will serve as Coupeville’s superintendent until June 30. The Coupeville School Board knew that she was interested in the North Kitsap position before she applied, Page said. She informed staff about the potential change when she was named a finalist, as reported in the Whidbey News-Times last week. She then emailed staff Tuesday to inform them she had accepted the position. Page has been the superintendent of the Coupeville School District since 2007. She has led the 970-student school district during a time when leaders had to make
significant cutbacks due to budget woes while still providing an education program that has earned state recognition for performance on test scores. With Page’s pending departure, the process for finding a suitable replacement is sure to be discussed at the next Coupeville School Board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 26 in the Coupeville Elementary School Library. Page said the school board could consider finding a permanent replacement or hiring an interim superintendent. Because it is so late in the school year, the school district might not find a large pool of candidates. She expressed confidence in the board’s ability to find her replacement. “We’ve got an amazing board who will take time to do what’s right for the district,” Page said.

Liquor CONTINUED FROM A1 said Scott Fraser, owner of Oak Harbor’s Frasers Gourmet Hideaway. He is concerned distributors won’t bother selling to a small business with a limited use of alcohol, though he said one of his wine distributors is expanding into alcohol sales. He was concerned that the supermarkets expanding into the liquor market will only offer the most popular varieties of booze and not the specialty items he uses for many of his drinks. “It’s going to be a bit of a challenge for us,” Fraser said. More than 58 percent of the voters statewide approved the initiative and 64.5 percent of the voters in Island County voted in favor of it. It’s been

challenged in court, but a judge this week upheld the initiative. To comply with the new law, the Washington State Liquor Control Board is in the process of selling all its assets. A six-week-long auction is in progress to auction off its liquor stores throughout the state. Rather than purchasing a location outright, prospective buyers will bid on the right to buy a license and secure a store under 10,000 square feet. The Liquor Control Board doesn’t own the buildings, the entity simply leased space, said Brian Smith, spokesman for the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Oak Harbor’s liquor store, located on Barlow Street across from the movie theater, is currently on the auction block. The online auction started March 7 and contin-
ues until April 20. Currently 12 bids have been made for the rights to the Oak Harbor store with someone with the user name “offthehook” submitting the current high bid of $2,375. Smith said whoever secures the winning bid will have to negotiate a lease in the current location, or find a different place within a one mile radius. Stores that contract with the state, such as the one in Coupeville, are excluded from the auction and grandfathered in from the new 10,000-squarefoot regulation. They can keep their small stores. For more information about Initiative 1183, go to the liquor control board’s website at www.liq.wa.gove. Information about the state’s auction can be found at www.publicsurplus. com/sms/washingtonliq,wa/ browse/home.
Emerson retorted. According to Oakes, Jefferson County is the only county in the state that spends less per mile than Island County on roads each year. Yet, he maintained that roads on Whidbey and
Camano are some of the best in all of Washington. “I would argue that we’re doing it right,” Oakes said. “I would love for it to cost us less to maintain roads but it doesn’t,” he said.

Port accepts lone bid for sailboat Concerns found about process
An Olympia resident stepped forward to purchase a dilapidated sailboat the Port of Coupeville auctioned off last week. Alex Butowicz submitted the high bid of $1,251 for the Carpe Diem, a 27-foot Islander that had been moored at the Coupeville Wharf for several weeks. Butowicz’s was also the only bid, which the port commissioners accepted during a March 14 meeting. The Carpe Diem had been moored for years off Lovejoy Point and had been the home of Peter Driftmeyer. Eventually, the boat ran aground and lacked proper anchorage and safety equipment for Driftmeyer to continue living on the vessel. He eventually moved to an apartment in Oak Harbor. Port Commissioner Laura Blankenship questioned whether Port Executive Director Jim Patton had the authority to acquire such a boat, arguing that the decision should have gone before the three-member board. Patton said acquiring the Carpe Diem was an emergency situation and it was important to get Driftmeyer off a dangerous boat. He said after the meeting, the money Butowicz offered for the Carpe Diem will cover the moorage fees and other costs incurred concerning the vessel. The Olympia resident is said to already have moorage space ready so he can easily take possession of the Carpe Diem.

DNA identifies driver in vehicular assault Alcohol alleged to be a factor By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
that the Nissan Altima continued straight and crossed over the center line as the roadway curved near the intersection with Monkey Hill Road. The Nissan Altima was traveling north in the oncoming lane, the trooper wrote, and collided head-on with a southbound 1996 Saturn. The driver of the Saturn, 60-year-old Oak Harbor resident Maria Whitmore, sustained fractured ribs, a collapsed lung and facial lacerations, according to the trooper’s report. Both Rincon Garcia and Estrada were outside of the vehicle before troopers and deputies arrived, so investi-
gators had some difficulty determining which one was driving. The two women originally told a deputy that “a guy” had been driving the Nissan Altima, but Estrada later claimed she had been driving. During questioning, Rincon Garcia kept telling her friend “to be quiet and they were just passengers,” Witman wrote. Witman collected the driver’s airbag, which had deployed, and fabric from the driver’s seat. He noted that the airbag had a small amount of blood on it. He sent the items to the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab for testing. The lab found that the DNA

IN OUR OPINION
Death by vehicles gets more serious Washington’s Legislature has finally taken the crime of vehicular homicide more seriously, particularly when the driver is impaired by alcohol. House Bill 2216 cleared the House and Senate with no opposition. When the law takes effect this summer, if a drunk driver kills someone the maximum penalty will increase from the present 31 to 41 months in prison to a range of 78 to 102 months. In other words, at the high end the offender will roughly spend 8 1/2 years in jail compared to the previous 3 1/2 years. In many cases, vehicular homicide is one of the most difficult situations for the justice system to deal with. Certainly, it’s easy to come down hard on a middle aged person with a long history of drinking and driving who kills one or more people in an accident. But it’s not always that easy. A recent, tragic case on Whidbey Island proves the point. Kaylea Souza, 18, was behind the wheel last year when the car she was driving flew off the roadway, killing three young men riding inside her vehicle. She was expected to plead guilty to three counts of vehicle homicide, with the DUI attachment. Under the present law, the judge will have to decide if this young woman with no prior record and her whole life ahead of her should spend the maximum 3 1/2 years months in prison, as sentences run concurrently. Souza is fortunate in one sense; had the crime happened a year later she could be facing 8 1/2 years in prison for causing the three deaths. It’s simply not easy to send a young woman to prison for nearly nine years for a crime that was actually an accident that occurred when she was drunk. However, drunk driving continues to be a scourge on this society. While education helps, the certainty of strict punishment for offenders is a necessary deterrent. At present, a young person who get behind the wheel while drunk and kills someone could serve less than three years in prison if the minimum sentence is imposed. But that same person may think twice before driving if she or he realizes an accident could mean 8 1/2 years in prison. For an 18 year old, that sounds like a lifetime. The tougher punishment was necessary but will have no effect unless it is well publicized. It must be drilled into people’s heads that driving while impaired is not an option; that it often leads to death, horrible injuries, or lives ruined by prison time and guilt. The Legislature has sent the message. Now it’s up to all of us to help spread it.

Letters to the editor Federal workers come through
On behalf of over 2,300 charitable organizations that were part of the 20112012 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of Island County I would like to thank the federal employees of Island County that participated in this year’s fund drive at Naval Air Station Whidbey and the U.S. Postal Services of Island County. The generous employees of NAS Whidbey and the Postal Service raised donations of over $293,000. The federal employees of Island County contributed their time, talent and treasurers to benefit local, national and international charitable organizations that participated in the local CFC of Island County. Thanks to the FRCNW Whidbey Island at NAS
Whidbey for allowing Lt. Mark Logan and AMCS Blane White who served as the loaned executives. Both Lt. Logan and Senior Chief White trained, led and motivated hundreds of unit coordinators and key workers who made this year’s CFC a huge success. This year’s CFC effort would not be possible without the year-round support and guidance of the Local Federal Coordinating Committee that oversees the CFC. Those members were Cmdr. Kimberly Schulz and Cmdr. Daniel Olvera, along with the Charity Eligibility Committee of: Lt. Mark Logan, AMCS Blane White, AD1 Keith Hasby, AD1 Jason Norton, AZ2 Jenny Verduzco, AT1 Christopher Dixon, AME1 Lucus Norenberg, IT2 Tysha Cherry, AME1 Truman Lowr y, AE2 Lindsey Strack, AMC

It really matters for whom you vote At 82 years of age, I feel I must vent. As life passes me by I think of all the past benefits we’ve enjoyed provided by our government to the public: Democrats, Republicans and independents. Since the new national health care plan was introduced, it has been called by many “Obamacare.” Should
Social Security be called “Roosevelt Care?” Should Medicare and Medicaid be called “Johnson Care?” All of these programs are enjoyed by all citizens of this great country. As I see it, this country is evenly divided by Democrats and Republicans. Republicans seem to want to throw trillions of dollars into wars at the drop of a hat and yet want to cut education, Social Security, Medicare and health care. Democrats and Republicans, remember that your mothers and fathers draw these benefits. Still want to cut them off? The Democrats want to retain all of the above programs for all of the citizens of this great county. Do we want to go back to the 1800s or move forward to the future? How or who you vote for does matter! John Muszynski Oak Harbor

Letters to the editor Paul simply pointed out sin The “Sound Off” writer of Saturday, Feb. 18 caught my attention in characterizing the Bible as a “pile of ancient literature.” To be sure, the Bible is a compilation of 66 books diverse in style and historical context. But to regard it as a “pile” reveals perhaps an insincere, incomprehensive, or dismissive approach to its reading. In particular I take exception to the statement that Paul’s writings were “nearly 180 degrees different” from the beliefs of Jesus. That is an incredible statement that misrepresents the teaching of Paul. There is total harmony between Jesus and Paul and I offer as one example the first recorded sermon of Paul to the church in Antioch found in Acts 13:15-49. This sermon capsulizes the work of God among mankind and here we see Paul’s role in proclaiming the word of God. Paul was an instrument of God through whom God spoke. Similarly, God made revelation to John on the Isle of Patmos and thus we have the book of Revelation as the concluding book of scripture. A cursory reading of Paul and John will show that both men spoke and wrote the words of Christ at his bidding. In reading Acts 13:47 (penned by Luke, incidentally) the reader does not find some renegade preacher. Rather, it is recorded that Paul spoke at the command
of the Lord Jesus Christ. In his first sermon it is recorded that he “preached Christ.” As evidenced by the writings of Luke and also Paul’s letters, one reads of nothing but Paul’s total devotion to and affirmation of Christ. Indeed, he called himself a “servant of Christ.” In particular, the Acts 13 message declared Paul’s message to be the “word of God” and as a Christian, I must regard it as such. II Timothy 3:16 is very clear on this point. In regards to the larger theme of the Sound Off article, always remember that Paul’s references to homosexuality are included in letters to two churches in Rome and Corinth (Romans 1:24 and I Corinthians 6:9). To characterize these words as “militant” (a quote of the Sound Off writer) is preposterous. These words aren’t even political. They are simply succinct pragmatic statements identifying the fallen nature of man. They are statements that name sin and included in the mix are fornication, murder, envy, deceit, pride, boasting, thievery, extortion, gossip, etc. Yes ... it is to two churches that they were penned. Furthermore, Paul reminded these Christians, “And such were some of you ...” We would be wise to maintain these words in that same context today. Remember also that Paul was an accomplice to murder and, as regarding sinners, he confessed “... I am chief.” It’s always difficult for man to admit his sin. We hide it, we minimalize it, we rationalize it, we redefine it, and we deny it. A sincere reading of Paul will show that he was not grinding any axes at this point. He was simply
www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com
exposing sin for what it is ... sin. Jesus also exposed it and his admonitions inflamed the guilty. The same could be said of the Old Testament prophets. The Bible from Genesis to Revelation identifies sin, calls man to confess sin, and offers salvation from sin. That for me is the recurrent theme of the Bible and in that regard I find not a “pile” but the cohesive “world of the Lord,” as relevant to modern man as to the “ancients.”

Injured son pays it forward Following a 2010 spinal cord injury to my son, Brian, members of the Oak Harbor community rallied around him, raising funds and donating materials and labor to remodel our garage into a wheelchair accessible bedroom and bath. Our family would like to, again, extend our thanks
Whidbey Island photographer Paul Lischeid snapped a photo in January of two eagles that are often hanging out near the refineries at March Point in Skagit County. “Window on Whidbey” is a regular photo feature of the Whidbey News-Times. Readers may submit pictures by email to news@whidbeynewsgroup.com. for the generosity of strangers, friends, businesses and church members alike. The remodeled space has been such a blessing. It has provided Brian a constant reminder of the good will of our community and has allowed him to focus on healing and improving his strength and skills. The support around him has assisted Brian in maintaining a positive outlook and attitude. He continues working to finish his degree in economics from Washington State University and will graduate in May. He is active in our community, reading with kindergartners in Mrs.
Ridle’s class at Oak Harbor Elementary and serving on the church council at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. Inspired by the pay it forward concept, Brian and some of his Theta Chi fraternity brothers are coordinating their second annual fundraiser for the Transitions Program at Harborview and University of Washington. Transitions provides training and support (such as driver’s training, exercise programs, sporting opportunities and much more) for spinal cord injury individuals to help them become more active and involved. The good will extended by our Oak Harbor
community has truly multiplied and is now touching many other lives. I would also like to thank former Mayor Slowik and the city council at the time for the remodel of Pioneer Way. Before the remodel parking was essentially impossible for individuals with wheelchairs. Now handicapped parking spaces line every block on Pioneer. The ADA ramps and wide, flat sidewalks are much safer and easier to navigate than before. Thank you for making the downtown area welcoming and accessible to all residents. Marge Moore Oak Harbor
Oak Harbor School District teachers’ pay is falling behind By Peter Szalai
Are teachers overpaid? Up until recently, the national dialogue focused on raising teacher salaries, cognizant of the profession’s traditional low pay and the value that our society has for public education. As recently as 2000, the voters of Washington passed an initiative that guaranteed teachers an annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) so that at least they’d be protected against inflation. In comparison to other states, Washington used to rank fifth in the nation in how it compensated its teachers, but just as the percentage of the state’s budget devoted to education has shrunk every year for the past decade, so too has how much we pay teachers. A first-year teacher in Oak Harbor earns $33,618. After 16
Sound off years, a master teacher finally achieves a professional salary of $63,364. From years 17 until about 42, teachers are primarily dependent on the Legislature for COLAs and for raises. The legislature has repeatedly suspended the COLA initiative and is expected to repeal it permanently. Not only is the Legislature not offering raises, it has reduced salaries by eliminating professional training days and, in effect, cutting school by 3 1/2 days. Teachers receive the bulk of their pay from the state, which sets a state-wide salary schedule. School districts then commonly provide supplemental pay. Supplemental pay is a mixture of TRI (Time, Responsibility, and
Incentive), additional meeting and training days; TRI days are used by teachers at their discretion to partially recompense them for time that they routinely spend outside of the work day and work year to lesson plan, assess student work and communicate with parents — work that must be done but cannot be accomplished within the regular work day and work year. In Arlington, a similarly sized school district to OHSD, teachers at the top of the salary schedule earn an additional $17,421; in Oak Harbor, the supplement is $6,689. Over the years, the teachers’ union, the Oak Harbor Education Association, has sought to keep wages in Oak Harbor about average to what is offered in our region and by school districts our size. Over the past few years, we have fallen behind, and we are now mov-
ing toward becoming a low-wage district. To pay Oak Harbor teachers a wage that is only average would cost about $780,000. That’s how far we have slipped. The good news is that Oak Harbor teachers have never made exorbitant demands, have never made teaching on this island about money. As we prepare for bargaining next month, our top concerns are about having time to do our jobs, providing more support for special education students, and lowering class size. As a community, we need to figure out what we want from public education and what we’re willing and able to provide the Oak Harbor School District. Right now, our students receive fewer opportunities because our levy is lower than other Skagit and Island County communities, and lower than other
military communities. Clover Park which serves Joint Base LewisMcChord families provides more than double ($3,492) per student in levy and federal impact aid support than does Oak Harbor ($1,622). Oak Harbor taxpayers can be proud of the responsible and transparent stewardship of public funds; of a fiscal fidelity to reasonableness and value. However, the inescapable conclusion that the preponderance of the evidence in both need and comparison with other school districts shows is that Oak Harbor’s levy needs to be raised to near the average. Please do this for the kids. Peter Szalai is president of the Oak Harbor Education Association.

OBITUARY Harold E. Hart
Harold Eugene Hart, 82, was called home to the Lord on March 13, 2012, following a lengthy illness. He was born Oct. 29, 1929 in Cory, Colo., to Clara (Elliott) and Eugene Hart. Harold was raised on a Colorado ranch, where his parents had an orchard and also raised cattle. Being raised on a farm, Harold learned to drive a tractor when he was nine years old, so at age 14 Harold drove the school bus through his high school years. Following graduation, Harold worked for a time as a truck driver and then enlisted in the U.S. Army, a career that would last for 30 years. He was given accompanied deployment with his wife La Veya (Shoneman) and their two boys in Panama. He was an avid diver and Panama offered him wonderful opportunities to pursue his hobby. Harold’s first marriage ended in divorce. Harold married Marjorie (Senescu) and they were stationed for a number of tours of duty in Hanau, Germany, with Marjorie’s four children. He was also a combat veteran of Korea and Vietnam and spent some time in Japan recovering from injuries he suffered. On returning to the states, Harold was stationed in Missouri and his final tour was at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, where he retired. Harold traveled to South Whidbey to visit his brotherin-law and decided he liked the island. He moved to Oak Harbor and spent time building homes for Harrington Realty before accepting a position as a firefighter at NAS Whidbey Island in 1973. He served in that capacity for 25 years, retiring in 1998. He was preceded in death by Marjorie. Following his retirement from the NAS Whidbey Fire Department, Harold traveled across the U.S. and Canada. He returned to Oak Harbor and attended the Widow Support Group Dinner, where he sat with Jane Squires and soon discovered new love. Harold and Jane were married in Oak Harbor on April 15, 2001.

Wolves split pair The Coupeville baseball team used aggressive base running and a stellar pitching performance to defeat visiting Port Townsend 5-1 Friday, but were victims of a no-hit, 10-0 loss at Cedarcrest Monday. Against PT, Ben Etzell pitched four nearly perfect innings, striking out eight and allowing no hits or runs. The Wolves scored three runs in the third to get things going. Wade Schaef spurred the attack with two hits and an RBI, and Kurtis Smith added a double. The offense was aided by 10 stolen bases. Coach Willie Smith said, “We were very sold defensively again (no errors), getting a lot of fine performances and ending the game on a 1-6-3 double play.” Cedarcrest’s Nick Gagner fired a five-inning no-hitter and struck out eight in the Wolves’ league opener. Coach Smith said the tough day was “a combination of the best pitcher we have faced, a very good hitting team and a lack of confidence on our part.” The two teams squad off again at 4 p.m. today in Coupeville (2-2).
Netters get 1st win After losing 5-2 at Everett Friday, the Oak Harbor tennis team
grabbed its first win 4-3 over visiting Lynnwood Monday. Oak Harbor picked up wins in third and fourth singles against Everett: Jennifer Fremd (6-0, 6-0) and Chelsey McKenzie (6-2, 6-2). Against Lynnwood, Fremd won (6-2, 6-3) as did all three doubles: 1, Molly Van Dam/McKenzie Schneider (7-6[7], 6-1); 2, Rachelle Muzones/Joyce Abides (6-0, 6-0); and 3, Jenny Landingin/Stephanie Milliron (6-2, 7-5). The Wildcats (1-2) go to Meadowdale (1-1) at 3:30 p.m. today.
CHS scores late, often A rush of late goals carried the Coupeville soccer team to a 4-0 win over visiting Port Townsend Saturday. Freshman Jeremy Copenhaver scored off an assist from J.P. Ward in the 65th minute, then Dylan Tack scored twice and Ward punched in the final goal. Coach Paul Mendes said, “The defense played really well...and kept us in the game.” Zach Forland collected the shutout in goal. Coupeville (1-0) goes to Cedarcrest (0-1) at 6 p.m. Friday.

The first parade on the newly redone Pioneer Way brought out the Irish in everyone with the help of green shamrocks, oversized leprechaun hats and a kiss to the Blarney Stone. Among the groups participating in the 39th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Saturday were the Oak Harbor Community Band, Oak Harbor High School Key Club, cheerleaders and Man’s Choir, Whidbey YaYas, Crab Queens, Oak Harbor Garden Club, the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, the Oak Harbor Yacht Club and the grand marshals, Pat and Patty McKinnon, riding in convertibles with the Whidbey Cruzers. Miciah Smiley, 4, happily gathered candy during the parade. “I especially loved the fire trucks and there was a fire truck,” Miciah Smiley said. His sister, Micayla Smiley, 2, and their dad, Michael Smiley, also enjoyed the parade despite their lack of Irish ancestry. “I like everything about it,” Michael Smiley said of the parade. Kathleen Pendleton and her family come to the parade every year to commemorate their Irish heritage. “Just to celebrate the Irish spirit,” Pendleton said as her children, Michael Pendleton, 3, and Joshua Pendleton, 9, relished the green goodies they’d gotten during the parade. After the parade, Jim Ryan led a ceremony at the windmill near Windjammer Park. Oak Harbor Mayor Pro Tem Danny Paggao --- going by “Danny Boy” for the day --- read a proclamation from Mayor Scott Dudley before kissing the Blarney Stone.

BELOW LEFT: Parade Grand Marshals Pat and Patty McKinnon take turns kissing the Blarney Stone after the parade. BELOW RIGHT: Miciah Smiley, 4, and Micayla Smiley, 2, accept candy during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “Just to let you know, that stone has been purified with good Irish beer,” Ryan told the crowd. The Oak Harbor High School Man’s Choir, with director Darren McCoy on the penny whistle, performed, and Paul Kuzina sang “Danny Boy” and asked the crowd to join in singing the chorus of “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.” One of many of Helen ChatfieldWeeks’ famous “hip, hip hoorays” went out to the merchants of Pioneer Way for letting the parade close the street as participants walked the wrong way down the newly one-way street.
The McKinnons won the award for bringing the most Irish relatives. Among them were Nikki Fetters and Taryn Sparacio, both Patty McKinnon’s nieces, who
said they had fun at the parade. “There were a lot of people there, too, which was nice,” Fetters said.

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF
AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010. To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle
