Whidbey News-Times, October 31, 2012

By NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter

A bolt of lightning struck a transformer two Saturdays ago, damaging the phone system at Whidbey General Hospital. w

The lightning struck at approximately 8:15 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 hitting the transformer that was located near the area where the hos-pital houses its electronics for the computer and voicemail systems, hospital spokes-woman Trish Rose said in an email.

She said both the tele-phone and voicemail systems were affected by the lightning strike but engineers worked all day Saturday to repair the

phones. The phone system was online by Saturday eve-ning.

“We were fortunate that the system was adequately protected to prevent a cata-strophic failure of our phones,” Rose said. “The voicemail is a different story.”

It turns out the voicemail system needs to be replaced. Rose anticipated it will cost the hospital approximately $13,000 for a new system. She said she hopes the new system will be installed by the end of this week. With all the repairs and staff time, the cost of the lightning strike will be around $25,000, Rose said.

The hospital’s internal voicemail system is still

functional, but outside call-ers aren’t able to leave any messages. She encouraged people such as solicitors and vendors making non-patient- related calls to the hospital should use email.

“We are relieved that the phones are still in operation,” Rose said in the email. “From a patient care aspect, the loss of external voicemail has minimal impact.”

She said she will post updates on the hospital’s website, www.whidbeygen.org

Pumpkin patch offers harvest fun

Coupeville kindergartner Navaeh Hertlein-Darby, 5, cuddles a hard-chosen pumpkin from Sherman’s Pioneer Farm Produce in Coupeville. She was one of hundreds of students that have visited the farm over the past few weeks.

Lightning downs hospital phones

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

The campaign signs that bespeckle or besmirch, depending on your point of view, the city of Oak Harbor are supposed to disappear completely from the public cityscape two weeks after the election, while the danc-ing pizza people can contin-ue to shake their pepperoni

indefinitely.These amendments to the

city’s temporary sign code are scheduled to be consid-ered by the Oak Harbor City Council Wednesday, Nov. 7, the day after the election. The proposed changes are aimed at bringing the code in compliance with case law regarding free speech.

“Essentially, it addresses

the types of signs that can be placed on private prop-erty and within the public right-of-way,” said Steve Powers, development ser-vices director.

The city’s planning com-mission decided to tackle the issue last summer after Scott Dudley, then a can-

Well, a small army of

Central Whidbey stu-dents have been giving it their best shot over the past few weeks. Since he opened his squash patch to the masses earlier this month, Coupeville farmer Dale Sherman’s fields have

been buzzing with pump-kin-hunting kids, teachers and parents.

City overlooks $131K in feesBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

For three years in a row, the city of Oak Harbor missed out in collecting thousands of dollars in fees from Whidbey General Hospital for emer-gency medical services.

Now the elected officials at each entity are going to consider a new interlocal agreement for emergency

medical services, but Mayor Scott Dudley promises that the reimbursement system will go more smoothly from now on.

“I don’t know how that could have been overlooked, but it won’t happen again,” he said.

Exactly how $131,000 in fees went uncollected, or unpaid, for three years

without anyone noticing is unclear, though the hospital has now paid the bill in full.

Dudley said Fire Chief Ray Merrill corrected the over-sight after he was hired in March.

According to a hospital spokesperson, the contract with the city expired during

a trolley ride to a group of students last week.

Located on Ebey Road, just a short walk from Coupeville Elementary School, Sherman’s Pioneer Farm Produce is invaded by hundreds of students every October and this year was no exception.

According to Joyce Roethle, the school’s student service secretary, about 275 first-grade through third-grade students visited the farm over the past few weeks. Unsurprisingly, it tends to be a popular event.

“Oh they love it,” Roethle said. “Rain or shine, it’s a

big hit.”Parents often seem to

have as much fun as the kids. Trish Hall, whose daughter attends Central Whidbey Cooperative Preschool, said they recent-ly moved to Coupeville and the pumpkin patch sparked warm memories of her own childhood.

“I love it,” Hall said. “I grew up in Nebraska so this is the kind of stuff I remem-ber doing as a kid.”

“This is one of the best parts of living here,” echoed Alison Perera, who visited the farm with her daughter Natalie, 3, and the preschool students.

Sherman said, annual pumpkin sales are an impor-tant part of his business but he clearly enjoys it.

He has a tractor that’s painted yellow and black with Tonka written on the side and it’s attached to a custom-made trolley that he gives rides to children who squeal with delight.

“Sure I spend a lot of money on all the toys … but it’s not just a parade tractor,” he defended. “It’s a work tractor.”

Softening, the griz-zled farmer admitted to a Whidbey News-Times reporter that while he some-times gets funny looks from other farmers, he has a pret-ty good time shepherding kids around his pumpkin patch.

“I do enjoy it,” he said.For other Halloween and

didate for mayor, was con-tacted by the city’s code enforcement officer for putting up campaign signs earlier than allowed by city code. The code said they couldn’t be displayed more than 60 days before the elec-

tion.The city attorney, how-

ever, determined that it was an unconstitutional infringe-ment of free speech. The council adopted an interim sign code doing away with the rule until the code can be permanently amended.

Powers said the planners decided to expand the focus of the amendment beyond political signs to all tem-

porary signage, including commercial.

Powers said regulating signs is complex because of First Amendment rights and case law.

The planning commission originally proposed banning commercial sign wavers, including the dancing pizza guys, from sidewalks, but Powers said the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in

the famous “Blazing Bagel case” that such a prohibi-tion isn’t constitutionally permissible.

Powers emphasized that the code now makes a dis-tinction between “politi-cal free speech signs” and “campaign signs.” Political signs pertain to a social or public issue while campaign signs are about an election.

The city can put more

restrictions on campaign signs, as compared to politi-cal signs.

The proposed amend-ment places no limits on how long before an election a candidate can put up signs on public right-of-ways, but it states they have to be down by 14 days after the election.

Previously, the candidates had 10 days, but Powers

said it probably doesn’t make much difference.

“Historically the candi-dates have been very, very responsible when it comes to removing signs,” he said.

In addition, Powers said the amendment clarifies that portable A-frame signs are allowed in the central business district, which is in the downtown Pioneer Way area.

SiGNSCONTINUED FROM A1

By KATHY REEDStaff reporter

Slow claims processing was the preferred topic of conver-sation during a roundtable discussion Oct. 24 between local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash.

The discussion was the first of several talks Larsen had planned for District 2 and the event drew about 20 people to the Oak Harbor VFW. Larsen began with a brief overview of the issues he has been working on in Washington, D.C. that have an impact here, including the success of the Community Based Outreach Clinic the VA established in Mount Vernon in 2009.

Larsen said the goal for the primary care facility was to have 6,500 veterans signed up in its first five years of opera-tion. In the three years since the facility opened, 6,000 vet-erans have signed up.

“It’s clear you veterans were right in pushing the VA to open these clinics,” he said. “Now we have to make sure we’re providing a way for veterans to receive the benefits offered there and what we can do to improve or expand them.”

Helping veterans com-ing home from Iraq and Afghanistan and hearing how changes in the mili-tary’s Transition Assistance Program are working is also important, said Larsen, as are the results being seen from

the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011.

“We’re trying to find a way for our men and women com-ing home to transfer their military skills to civilian jobs,” he said. “And another impor-tant part of VOW to Hire Heroes is that it includes a tax credit to employers who hire veterans.”

The VA and Department of Defense have also teamed up to provide legal assistance to veterans who have been hurt by mortgage abuses or who need assistance with refinancing.

The first question from the veterans attending was from VFW service officer Gary Cosper.

“The biggest complaint I hear from veterans is the time it takes to process claims,” he said. “Why can’t some of

these service members be trained to help with the pro-cess?”

“The VA is hiring more people to process claims,” Larsen responded. “But I agree the process will never be fast enough, especially with the number of folks we have coming home. There will be more claims to the VA with the same number of people to process them.”

According to Cosper, new claims to the VA by still active or newly separated person-nel — which have priority for processing — have a wait-ing period of about seven to nine months. The problem, agreed those in the room, is the appeals, which can take two to five years to settle.

“New folks get in first, as they should, and appeals are handled second,” Larsen

said, “but two to five years is a long time.”

Tricare, the health care system for service personnel, retirees and their families, was also a hot topic, partic-ularly the switch to United Health Care, which will now administer the Tricare pro-gram.

“TriWest lost the contract, which will now be adminis-tered by United Health Care,” said Larsen. “We will be pay-ing close attention to how the transition is implemented and how the veterans community is treated. Everyone is going to be watching this closely…because this is a multi-billion-dollar contract that affects people’s health.”

Also present at Wednesday’s discussion was Dan Matthews, Larsen’s opponent in the upcoming general election. As the meet-ing wound down, Matthews tried to ask Larsen a ques-tion.

“You’re running against me,” Larsen told him. “I’m not going to answer any ques-tions from you.”

David DeWitte, I am CEO of a manufacturing business located in Skagit County, that employs over 200 people with living wage and bene� t jobs. I know the importance of cooperation between the private and public sectors in our economy. Without the infrastructure (schools, roads, public safety, etc.) created and maintained by the public sector, we in the private sector could not create and maintain prosperous businesses. I have known and worked with Angie for over two years during my service on the Washington State Building Code Council. I know her to be diligent, thorough, always prepared and careful when considering the wide range of complex issues we face. She does an excellent job balancing the public's interest in safe and energy ef� cient construction methods with businesses need to make a buck! Most importantly, however, I am impressed with her un� inching commitment to public disclosure and openness. Not a proposal comes before the council that Angie does not make sure gets a fair hearing, even when she is opposed to it. I have found her always open to opposing points of view, and always respectful of their supporters....whether her position prevails or not. Those of us in business can use a lot more representatives in government like Angie Homola!

David Sauter, Commissioner Klickitat County (R) - WSAC LSC President, I have had the opportunity to work with Angie on statewide committees and even though we are from different political parties, I have always found her willing to "work across the aisle" on important issues. In a time when the public is increasingly frustrated with partisan politics, Angie demonstrates that you can passionately advocate for your views and still reach a compromise.

Larsen listens to veterans’ concerns

Kathy Reed/Whidbey News-Times

Rep. Rick Larsen addresses veterans during a roundtable dis-cussion Oct. 24 at the Oak Harbor Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392.


A 57-year-old Oak Harbor man is facing a felony charge for allegedly beating his stepson with a fireplace poker, court docu-ments allege.

Prosecutors charged Samuel D. Howard in Island County Superior Court Oct. 15 with assault in the second degree, a domestic violence charge.

On Oct. 10, a 27-year-old man reported that his stepfather, Howard, had repeatedly struck him in the hands, forearm and leg with the “sharp end” of a fireplace poker, court records state. The man said he got into an argument with Howard just prior to the assault.

An Oak Harbor police officer noted that the man had a large cut on his knuckle area and a hole in his pants leg. The man had to undergo surgery to repair a broken finger.

Williams, however, claimed he did not assault the man and conjectured that he may have showed up at his house with the injuries. Williams said he kicked the man out of the house after he went crazy and tipped over the cof-fee table and threw the fireplace poker, the report states.

If convicted of the charge, Howard could face up to a year and two months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Mayor Jim Slowik’s tenure and so the fees were not paid. The spokesperson said the oversight was discovered by the hospital last year. Negotiations to settle the matter were not settled until after Dudley took office.

Merrill explained that the Oak Harbor Fire Department entered into an agreement with the hospital in the early 1990s to provide backup life support in the city.

Under the agreement, paramedics from the hospital are dispatched first to health-related calls in the city, but they can call the fire depart-ment if extra help is needed or if they can’t make it to a call. The fire department bills the hospital on a per-call basis, Merrill said, which amounts to about $40,000 to $50,000 every year.

The hospital didn’t pay the city from 2009 to 2011.

Merrill said a new interlo-cal contract was negotiated. It is scheduled for adoption in November.

FEESCONTINUED FROM A1 Public�access�a�hot�topic�in�shoreline�plan

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Property rights advocates may be pleased with several possible alternatives to con-troversial sections of Island County’s shoreline rules update, particularly those that address public beach access.

While some suggest coop-erative approaches, such as incorporating financial incen-tive programs to encourage the creation of new beach accesses, others reduce requirements for small-scale new subdivisions.

One allows developers to dodge a public beach access requirement altogether by paying a fee while another would only require the cre-ation of a community access, which would not be open to the public.

According to Karen Stewart, the county’s shore-line master program coordi-nator, no recommendations are being made to the Island County Commissioners.

Rather, the board is being provided a list of possible solutions to some of the concerns discussed during a series of public meetings on Whidbey and Camano Islands held earlier this month.

“It’s sort of a menu if you will,” Stewart said.

The board and the public will have a chance to dis-cuss the proposed shoreline rules and the alternatives at a hearing next month. The meeting begins at 10:20 a.m. Monday, Nov. 5, and will be held in the Island County Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.

The shoreline master pro-gram is a long-range plan-ning document that guides new and existing develop-ment within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark over the next 20 years.

The county has been working on its update for the past two years and beach access has become one of several controversial topics.

Many have demanded more aggressive policies toward the recovery, preservation and identification of such accesses while others say the proposed policies infringe on personal property rights.

Along with proposing financial incentives for new accesses by allowing proper-ty owners through the Public Benefit Rating System, one of the alternative outlines a clear direction to identify beach accesses in an ongo-ing inventory.

Funding for the effort isn’t specified, but Stewart said this would be strong policy statement memorialized in the county’s work program.

“You have to start some-where,” she said.

On the other side, draft rules that generally required new developments of five homes to include a public access could be softened by implementing an in-lieu fee program.

The money would be spent on securing shoreline

access elsewhere.The same alternative

could also be tailored so a public access is not required at all — only an access for the housing community. Any development with 10 homes or more would require pub-lic access, however.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who is chair-woman of the board, said Tuesday she hadn’t yet seen all the alternatives but that an in-lieu fee program might make sense.

This process has made it clear the community places a high value on public beach access, but a bunch of road-ends where people only have a few feet of shoreline to enjoy may not be the best solution, she said.

“I don’t think that serves the greater purpose,” Price Johnson said.

Other sticky issues include non-conforming structures. Many during the public meeting process said

the definition has been prob-lematic, hindering lending possibilities and making it harder to make changes to older homes.

According to Stewart, a state law does allow flexibili-ty with buildings constructed before existing development standards and the adoption of similar provisions would essentially allow structures to become conforming.

Bulkheads, overwater structures and other shore-line modifications would be exempt.

While the board could adopt the update at the Nov. 5 public hearing, this is a complex planning document that addresses a number of complicated issues, Price Johnson said.

“I expect it will take more than one meeting to get through it,” she said.

Another meeting is ten-tatively scheduled for 6 p.m., Monday, Nov. 19, at the Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.


Nearly 30 people showed up to the Oak Harbor pool Friday night to hear com-plaints a former employee has about the park district’s director.

Instead, the elected body decided to adjourn the meet-ing without taking any testi-mony from former employee Vikki Robinson about North Whidbey Park and Recreation District Director Bill Walker.

Scott Vogt, president of the five-member board of com-missioners, said at the start of the special meeting that Walker is the only employee the board hires.

He also quoted the Revised Code of Washington regu-lations outlining when the board could meet in closed, executive session. He noted that an elected body could go into executive session to receive and evaluates com-plaints against a public officer or employee. He added that Walker could decide to hold such a meeting in a public forum; however, that didn’t

happen that night. “He is not requesting a

public meeting at this time,” Vogt said. Walker didn’t attend the Friday evening special meeting.

Robinson had been an administrative assistant at the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District for four years when her employment recently ended.

Four of the five park com-missioners — Lisa Clark, Sean Merrill, Vogt and Harvey Prosser — offered to meet with Robinson in exec-utive session. She decided to wait on such a hearing until she brought legal representa-tion with her.

“I was hoping I could bring out some of my concerns,” Robinson said in a brief inter-view. She didn’t provide any details about her concerns.

Vogt said the Friday eve-ning meeting was scheduled because it was the most expe-ditious way to get the com-missioners to attend to this matter.

A date for the executive ses-sion hasn’t been scheduled.


In an unusual outcome, a North Whidbey man who neglected two horses will have the choice of going to jail or being electronically monitored at home.

Meanwhile, the county’s animal control officer has started a fund to take care of the horses and other farm animals in need of help.

Donald L. Gritten, dressed in a leather fringe jacket and holding a cavalry hat, plead-ed guilty in Island County District Court Tuesday morning to two counts of animal cruelty in the second degree.

In his statement of guilt, 50-year-old Gritten wrote that he failed to provide neces-sary medical attention and was negligent in doing so.

His attorney, Andrew Rice of Coupeville, said Gritten didn’t meant to harm the ani-mals.

“He bought the two horses and I think he got in over his head,” he said, “and wasn’t able to take care of them like he wanted to or should have.”

Gritten was arrested on a warrant in September after he failed to appear to the arraignment hearing.

Judge Peter Strow fol-lowed the sentencing recom-

mendation from the prosecu-tor and sentenced Gritten to 90 days in jail with 85 days suspended, plus a $500 fine.

Strow said Gritten could either serve the five days in jail or serve 30 days of elec-tronic home monitoring, at his expense. Rice indicated that his client would rather do home monitoring.

Gritten agreed to surren-der the two horses and not possess any other horses during probation.

A restitution hearing was set for Jan. 29, 2013; the horses required veterinarian care after being taken from Gritten.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said it was unusual for a defendant to receive jail time for misde-meanor animal cruelty charg-es, but it’s not completely unheard of. He said animal cruelty cases in general are not common.

Island County Animal Control Officer Carol Barnes served a warrant and seized the horses from Gritten’s farm July 28 after determin-ing that they had been denied adequate food, nutrition and veterinarian care.

She later cited him for ani-mal cruelty.

She said the mare appeared emaciated and mal-nourished, while the gelding

needed medical attention. They were taken to a secret location, where veterinarian Robert Moody and volun-teers cared for them.

“They have responded well to the care that’s been provided to them by the team of volunteers,” she said. “It’s amazing what a little food and veterinarian care can do.”

The county, however, doesn’t have a fund to take care of horse or other domes-tic animals that have been taken away from owners or

abandoned. As a result, Barnes decided

to set up a fund. It’s called the WI Farm Animal Assistance Program at Whidbey Island Bank or PO Box 402, Coupeville, 98239.

Donations are currently not tax deductible, but she is working on filing the paper-work to become a nonprofit.

Letters to the editorElectionBiased article disables trust

Following last week’s balanced and well-written article “Candidates differ on county government’s role, I was looking forward to a comparison of the District 2 candidates Angie Homola and Jill Johnson. I was dis-heartened to read the article “Differences stark in race” that appeared on Oct. 24.

The article begins by referring to tension between the two candidates and pro-vides a history of their posi-tions six years ago on the proposed expansion of the Urban Growth Area. What the article left out, although the paper had the facts at the time of going to press, was that Angie was correct. Jill had misrepresented the facts to the city council and in a survey of the 484 members of the Oak Harbor Chamber, only 62 responded and only seven stated they were in favor of the expansion.

It states that Angie is hard to get hold of but does not give sources. Based on arti-cles I have read in this paper, she is very accessible to her constituents and goes out of her way to address their concerns. It next states she was fired from a position she held in the county planning department for reasons that are in dispute. Angie was not fired but took a layoff due to a hostile work environment in 2003 and this was thoroughly explored and reported in this paper during the 2008 cam-paign. There is no dispute.

The last section “A change in tone” finally provides some balance in reporting for those who continue to read to the very end. How can I continue to trust this paper when I see such bias?

We need Bailey in the Senate

I’m voting for Barbara Bailey for Senate because she’s a woman of integrity. She’s already known in the legislature as someone who does the right thing for the right reasons. She not only has the background and experience that we need to reinvigorate our economy, she has the will to do so.

She has cooperation from both sides of the aisle, as evidenced by the legislation she’s been able to get passed, even as a member of the minority party. She’s effec-tive because she listens with respect to varying views, yet her decisions are based on strong principles.

Her agenda is to serve us, the taxpaying citizens of Island County, the 10th District and the state of Washington.

I invite you all to join me in sending Barbara Bailey to the State Senate to work for us.

Haugen represents Whidbey’s interests

Political dirt poured out of my Whidbey Island mailbox last weekend, in the form of hit pieces denouncing state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen from something called the “Good Government Leadership Council” in Centralia, Wash. Candidate Barbara Bailey has to bear responsibility for these disgusting and extreme attack flyers that are disrespectful — no matter what party you claim as yours. There are no issues here — just attacks. Aren’t we tired of this? This is trash mail directly from the state senate Republican pack!

Haugen is a longtime tar-get of often-false mailings by people who hide their identi-ties. Four years ago, anti-Hau-gen mailings bore the name

of “Citizens Actions Group.” The Building Industry Association of Washington once used three different type fonts — all with the same Mount Vernon P.O. Box — to attack her.

The latest hit takes a famil-iar path, saying that Mary Margaret has for 30 years been “our voice in Olympia” but has “changed.”

“Our voice?”The return address is in

Centralia, 85 miles as the crow flies from the 10th District. The “Good Government Leadership Council” has just one contributor, some-thing called “The Leadership Council.”

What is The Good Government Leadership Council? It is the soft-money political action committee of state senate Republicans. Has Haugen been their voice in Olympia, who has “lately changed?” Obviously Mary Margaret has not represent-ed senate Republicans — she’s a moderate-to-conser-

vative Democrat who chairs the Senate Transportation Committee and the Agriculture Committee, which is important to us here in Central Whidbey. She has done a great job representing all of our interests here on Whidbey Island — no mat-ter what party — and can be counted on to speak her own mind — not the party lingo.

Incumbents are great leaders

We are writing to strongly endorse both of our incum-bent county commissioners, Helen Price Johnson (District 1) and Angie Homola (District 2) for re-election. Please remember to vote in both of the county commissioner races, unlike the primary, when we voted only for the commissioner representing our home district.

As anthropologists, MK studied the unique problems

and opportunities of prehis-toric communities in island and coastal ecosystems; Eileen focused on health and care in contemporary rural communities. The holistic methods of anthropology demonstrate that the chal-lenges faced by communities are best met by leaders who understand the interrelat-edness of these challenges, particularly in times of eco-nomic hardship and scarce resources.

Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola are two such lead-ers. They recognize the unique nature and diversity of Island County. Their wide ranging experiences have prepared them to navigate the turbulent waters of local government and respond to the mandates, circumstances and opportunities of our state and nation. They recognize that island health and safety are highly interconnected and that “hiring another dep-uty” is only one component.

Meaningful youth activities, parks, education, as well as primary and mental health care for mothers and chil-dren, veterans, elders and the other at-risk groups, all contribute to the safety of our island communities.

There is a saying among some indigenous peoples — “what we do today will affect the next seven genera-tions.” Helen and Angie have echoed such forward-think-ing wisdom and recognize the fragile and complex nature of our islands’ ecosystems. In these difficult, rapidly chang-ing times, we need proven, thoughtful leaders who can see the big picture, listen to their constituents and guide us to innovative solutions. In all these ways, Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola are exemplary leaders. Please join us in voting to re-elect them as our county commissioners for Districts 1 and 2.

ElectionBailey tirelessly supports military

Washington state and America are in an economic crisis. Washington state has been controlled by the “tax and spend” crowd in Olympia for many years. That is why we need a fresh start with Barbara Bailey as our sena-tor. Her focus has been and is to balance the budget, reduce regulations, and lower taxes as well as to lower small busi-ness tax rates. She has advo-cated as a priority to create jobs and controlled govern-ment spending, which has been out of control, spend-ing more than what has been taken in.

Her passion for education has been seen as she is firm in funding K-12 education first and not delaying pay-ments to each school district. She believes in measures to increase accountability, raise standards and help each stu-dent to succeed.

She is a crusader for con-servative and traditional val-ues. Her patriotism is well recognized and as a spouse of a retired Naval officer, Barbara has firsthand experi-ence of the plight of a military wife.

She has worked tirelessly to support military families through her efforts as a Navy League area president, Navy League national director as well as vice chair of the Joint Select Committee for Veterans. We need someone like Barbara with her exper-tise.

Join me in voting for an out-standing candidate, Barbara Bailey.

(By the way, since when did her opponent “own the ferry system?”)

Please don’t “shoot the messenger” who is trying to tell the truth!

Haugen loss hurts Whidbey

Many years ago I ran for the state legislature from our district and managed, despite being endorsed by two gov-ernors and a U.S. Senator, to come in third.

Second place went to a Republican from Oak Harbor who Governors Evans and Spellman classified as a “Troglodyte.” Trogs in his-tory were barbarians who lived underground.

The winner was a middle-of-the road Democrat from Camano Island who had served on the school board, and a Scandihoovian, born and raised here, by the name of Mary Margaret Haugen.

I’m glad I lost.Just near my home in

Greenbank are a half-dozen major accomplishments directly attributable to Haugen.

For starters, the preserva-tion of the Greenbank Farm, Keystone Spit and the Port Townsend ferry.

And does anyone think that Nichols Brothers would have gotten work on five fer-ries if Haugen had not been chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee?

Across the water, the res-toration of the last historic resort in Puget Sound and its transformation into the state’s most popular new park, Cama Beach, was a pet project of hers.

And every time we enjoy crab, we should thank Mary Margaret. In 1978, there was no crab fishery in Holmes Harbor because bottom drag-gers had wiped it out. But with an amendment, Haugen pushed them out of Holmes Harbor and our island’s near shore areas, which is why we now have the richest crab fishery in the state.

This year the choice is between Haugen and Barbara Bailey. Bailey has drawn a paycheck as our rep-resentative for 10 years, but I can’t think of one thing she has accomplished. To be fair, I’ve asked every one of her supporters that I’ve met to name one of her accomplish-

ments. Oh, they’ve got lots of

excuses, but when asked to specify just one concrete improvement Barbara Bailey has made to life here — they got nothing. Zero.

Haugen is a tough act to fol-low. She is probably the most effective representative we’ve ever had. Losing her would leave us about defenseless in Olympia. Weigh it up.

Thom GunnGreenbank

Haugen is listening to constituents

This is a response to a flier stating that Mary Margaret Haugen isn’t listening to us. Yes, she is listening and has listened well in the past. Over the years several of us from this district have gone to Olympia on Faith Advocacy Day to meet with our sena-tor and representatives. Mary Margaret Haugen has taken time out of her very busy schedule to meet and listen to us. Barbara Bailey has not.

Hayes doesn’t know education

I am a second-grade teacher in Stanwood, par-ent of three kids in public schools and president of the Stanwood-Camano Education Association, so public educa-tion is an important issue for me. State Representative Candidate Tom Riggs under-stands education issues and has good ideas for address-ing our students’ education needs. The same cannot be said for his opponent.

Tom’s opponent, Dave Hayes, claims that educa-tion is his top priority, but when the rubber meets the road this claim doesn’t find any traction. A couple of weeks back, at a forum in Anacortes, he couldn’t even answer a question about timber sales and how they relate to funding education. It’s spelled out in Article IX (Titled: Education) of the

State Constitution. Shouldn’t a candidate for the State House know that? This last week he was asked if evo-lution should be taught in schools and responded “I don’t know how to answer that. Hopefully you can do a better job, Tom.”

He is, of course, refer-ring to Tom Riggs, who had thoughtful answers to both questions and is whole-heartedly endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers and the Washington Education Association.

Dave Hayes talks a lot about fully supporting edu-cation, but when pressed, doesn’t know the first thing about it.

If you care about education, and our children’s future, Tom Riggs is the only choice for State Representative.

Nyda GoldsteinStanwood

Haugen always backs education

I have known Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen for 37 years. We have worked together on education issues during all these years. I have gone to Mary Margaret for support for education bills and laws many times. She has always stepped up to the plate to support the local school district and its stu-dents. I am serving my 20th year on the Coupeville School District Board of Directors, and I spent 15 years serv-ing on the Washington State Board of Education, two as president.

Mary Margaret, like all others who serve our com-munities on boards and commissions, has had to make votes that she did not want to in order to achieve the greater good for our stu-dents. When the money is not to be had, you have to make cuts — the hardest votes that any of us ever have to cast. To take those votes out of context of the big picture amounts to a lie to me. To question Mary

Margaret’s support of edu-cation based on votes that had to be made is making false accusations.

Mary Margaret is very knowledgeable about the 10th District — the schools, the communities, the farms, our transportation needs. She listens to our concerns, hears our requests and makes decisions and casts votes that serve the people of this district. Those votes cannot always be what we want, but there are so many more facts at play in all leg-islative decisions than we at home can possibly know or understand. We elect per-sons to represent us indi-vidually and collectively in Olympia. Mary Margaret has done just that.

I trust Mary Margaret, I respect her, and I will be voting for her.

EnvironmentRide the bus for fun, savings

The $348 fuel bill for my wife’s car and my truck in August floored me. For that much money I could buy a new-fangled tablet, get a month’s worth of groceries, pay my power bill for five months and much more. But what could I do? It’s 10 miles to work so walking’s not a real option. Biking isn’t an option due to a bad back. Buying a new hybrid or elec-tric car didn’t make sense either. Factoring the price of the car, it’d take more than eight years of fuel savings to see a positive return. I know, take the bus.

But the bus isn’t cool. Only homeless people, high school students and tourists ride the bus. Right? Wrong.

People who like to slash their fuel bill and enjoy let-ting someone else drive ride the bus. In one month my fuel bill dropped $100 and for the first time in years I got to blissfully ride down

West Beach Road and look at the mountains. For the first time in years I didn’t come down the West Beach Road to Libbey Road hill and get hyper about hitting a deer. Another benefit was listen-ing to the high school kids. When I eavesdrop on their conversations it takes me back to a much simpler time when girls were the main concern and teachers were viewed much like comic book characters — larger than life and given surreal personalities.

Tired of your stratospher-ic fuel bill? Want to enjoy a more relaxed drive? Try an experiment like I did. Ride the bus to work for one half of a month. You’ll be amazed how much you’ll save and the fun you’ll have.

ThanksHolistic fair a healthy treat

Whidbey Island’s first Holistic Health Fair was a big success! More than 50 people attended this free event, with members of the public getting to consult with and sample mini-treatments from a dozen practitioners. With a wide variety from massage, Reiki, reflexology and health assessments to Theta healing, animal com-munication, Therapeutic Touch, aromatherapy, and more, there was something for everyone. A big thank you to Trinity Lutheran Church for generously pro-viding the space.

We look forward to mak-ing this a regular event to share the wealth of holistic healing practices available on Whidbey Island.

Jerry JordanJerry Jordan passed

away at Swedish Hospital, Seattle after a final debilitat-ing stroke on October 20, 2012 at the age of 64.

Jerry was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was the youngest in a large family of ten and known by his fami-lies nick name of “HOPPY” because of his love of Hop-Along-Cassidy. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Betti Jean Jordan, his brother James Jordan and Shelby Triplett and numer-ous step grand-children and great grand-children. He is preceded in death by his par-ents, his many brothers and sisters and most recently his only step-son Shannon Gilroy.

After graduating from Norwood High School, Jerry entered the USN as an aircraft carrier flight deck fireman serving in Midway Island, Memphis, Tenn., and Beeville, Texas. After a short return to civil-ian life Jerry re-enlisted in the USN and began his naval career as a Navy jet aircraft mechanic serving in Alameda, Calif.; Point Mugu, Calif.; Jacksonville, Fla.; New Orleans, La.; Whidbey Island and Atlanta Ga. He and his wife Betti met in Alameda, Calif. and married in 1976. Jerry and Betti enjoyed the Navy life style and met many wonder-ful lifelong friends along the way. Jerry advanced in his enlisted career and received numerous USN commenda-tions, medals and sailor of the quarter awards through-out his 27 year career retir-ing as a Senior Chief.

In 1996 they returned to Whidbey Island embracing the “island lifestyle” and adapted their interests to bicycling, hiking, picnicking and exploring the outdoors.Together they enjoyed antiquing, attending theater, taking classes and Jerry even acted in two plays local-ly. He and Betti also enjoyed gardening and remodeling their home. Jerry enjoyed BBQing and gourmet cook-ing for his friends and family and hosting parties through the years. He and Betti loved Christmas and deco-rated their home from top to bottom with decorations and invited neighbors, fam-ily and friends to their open house parties. Jerry was an avid reader, a fierce scrabble and trivia competitor. Jerry enjoyed competing in sail-ing events, boating and fish-ing. Jerry also golfed, played softball, jogged and played

racquetball throughout his life. In the years after his first stroke he continued to challenge himself working out at Thrive Fitness Center, taking Tai Chi at the college and Spanish lessons and the senior center. He enjoyed taking horseback lessons from HOPE Therapeutic Horseback Riding program. He and Betti were consider-ing restarting dancing les-sons. Jerry enjoyed square dancing, ballroom dancing, Cajun and Western and loved adding to their exten-sive eclectic collection of music.

All through their 38 years together they both shared a curiosity and joy of travel exploring new and different cities and sites and camping in their motor home in near-ly every state in the union. They also loved cruising and traveling the world to many places and countries including Europe, Mexico, Russia, Hawaii, Alaska and the Caribbean. He and his beloved grandson Joshua Castro, who had come to help his grandparents after Jerry’s first stroke had trav-eled to the Florida Keyes and Alaska together.

Jerry touched many lives on the island and wherever he lived. He had a wonderful sense of style, a wicked wit, along with a generous nature that endeared him to many he met along the way. Jerry volunteered with local orga-nizations wherever he lived; as a fireman in Florida, a lit-eracy instructor in Louisiana and always served people with disabilities wherever they lived. He was devoted to his family and expressed his love in many ways. He will be missed and fondly remembered as one of the good guys.

A celebration of life was held at the family home 2-4 p.m. Sunday, October 28. Memorials and donations can be made in Jerry’s honor to HOPE Therapeutic Horseback Riding and Oak Harbor Senior Center.

John A. Haakonson, 75, a resident of Grapeview, died on Oct. 19, 2012, at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

He was born on Dec. 7, 1936, in Ketchikan, Alaska, to Erling and Margaret Haakonson. After graduat-ing from high school, John worked as a telegraph oper-ator for Northern Pacific Railroad before being draft-ed into the Army. After his four-year stint in the army, he continued with the rail-road, becoming a dispatcher, working in Tacoma among other places.

John met the love of his life, Jeannette, and they mar-ried on June 19, 1976 in Oak Harbor. After John retired from the railroad, he worked again at the Georgia Pacific Company in Bellingham, and then for Whidbey Island Winery.

John’s hobbies have always included trains — having amassed a large col-lection of mostly HO gauge but also O gauge trains, and layouts. But he didn’t settle for only the “toys”: he bought a real engine

and kept it at Wickersham where he drove the engine and passenger cars during holiday times.

John was preceded in death last year by his wife of 35 years. He is survived by his sister Anne Langston of Louisiana and his stepson John Holeman and grand-daughter Selena of Las Vegas, Nevada.

A memorial service will take place 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012 at Shelton Presbyterian Church, 1430 Shelton Springs Road, Shelton, WA 98584.

Memorial donations can be made to Northern Pacific Railway Historical Association, 1012 SE Front St., Winlock, WA 98596.

Boys are surprise winners, girls 2ndBy JIM WALLERSports editor

Stunning the field, the Oak Harbor High School boys cross country team won the district title at Lakewood High School Saturday.

The Wildcat girls placed second and both teams earned state berths for the third consecutive year.

There was concern whether the Oak Harbor boys would qualify for the state meet. Running against the same schools minus Ferndale a week earlier at the league meet, the Wildcats squeaked into third place, just four points ahead of Shorewood. The top three teams out of district earn state spots.

At district, Oak Harbor not only left Shorewood in its wake but jumped over Mountlake Terrace and Glacier Peak to grab its second-straight district title. Until last fall, the Wildcats hadn’t won a district crown in 40 years.

The Oak Harbor girls held form, finishing second to nationally-ranked Glacier Peak just as they did

in the Wesco meet. Oak Harbor, coached by Eric

Peterson and Andy Wesley, will send both teams to the state meet in the same year for the third con-secutive season. Only once, in 1995, did the Wildcats accomplish the feat until the current string.

The state meet is Saturday at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course. The Oak Harbor girls placed 10th and the boys 11th in 2011.

Running in a steady downpour and over a muddy course, Oak Harbor won the boys district meet with 67 points, followed by Glacier Peak (77), Shorewood (98) and Mountlake Terrace (114).

Three of the five scoring Wildcat runners placed higher at district than at league to push Oak Harbor up the team standings, and all five placed in the top 20.

Gavin Stewart (17:15.7) had the most dramatic jump, moving from 27th to 16th. Jason Salas (17:11) went from 19th to 15th and Nathan Wagner (17:21) from 23rd to 19th.

John Rodeheffer (16:30.9), who was fifth out of 77 runners over the 5K course, and Clayton Richardson (16:59.6), who was 12th, grabbed Oak Harbor’s top two spots.

Patrick Mayer (17:32.4) placed 26th and Alexander Krantz (17:39.6) 29th.

As expected, Glacier Peak easily won the girls race with 21 points. Oak Harbor tallied 83 and Stanwood 97.

Christina Wicker (19:17.3) placed sixth out of 71 to guide the Oak Harbor girls.

Rounding out the scoring were Jonalynn Horn (10th, 19:39), Alex Laiblin (12th, 19:41), Marisa Sligh (23rd, 21:12.3) and Ashley Everett (32nd, 21:28.7).

Rachel Crowther (35th, 21:34.4) and Carlie Kenny (43rd, 22:09.8) also competed.

Peterson said, “Every member of the boys team wanted the district title and ran like animals today…Standout performance by Gavin and Nathan helped vault the boys into first. Both kids picked and stuck with their rival teams, sealing our victory.”

He said that most of the girls ran personal records, with the “standout performance of the day” going to Horn.

Peterson added that the girls are “going to focus on a top-10 perfor-mance” at the state meet.

A dominating performance by Meadowdale’s front line resulted in a 22-14 win over Oak Harbor Friday at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

The game was for seed-ing purposes for the round of 32 in the state playoffs. Meaowdale picked up the fourth Wesco 3A seed and Oak Harbor the fifth.

Oak Harbor travels to Gig Harbor to face twice-beaten and ninth-ranked Peninsula High School, the South Puget Sound League champion, at 7 p.m. Friday.

Meadowdale didn’t do anything fancy against Oak Harbor, methodically pound-ing the ball on the ground. It settled for middling gains, moving the chains and eating up the clock. Then, with the Wildcats playing for the run, burned Oak Harbor with a couple of long passes.

Meadowdale’s stats weren’t gaudy, 173 yards on 48 car-ries and 77 passing yards, but they were enough to get the win.

The dominance of its line was evident on defense. Oak Harbor rushed for only 108

yards. The Wildcats have thrived this season on a heavy dose of Fred Webster, its battering-ram back, pow-ering between the tackles. Webster, however, finished with only 36 yards on nine carries.

The Wildcats turned to the air, and Ian Kolste completed 17 of 28 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. JoJo Webster caught 10 passes for 127 yards, and Dakota Sinchak caught four for 61 yards and both scores.

The way the game started, it looked like an Oak Harbor win. The Wildcats took their first two possessions 59 yards and scored on passes from Kolste to Sinchack to lead 14-0.

Meadowdale, however, fol-lowed with two scoring drives and led 15-14 at the half.

Oak Harbor had only four possessions in the sec-ond half. The first ended at the Meadowdale 32 when it failed to convert on fourth down. The next three all ended inside the Mav 30, two inside the 20, as the Wildcats

couldn’t find the end zone.Meadowdale scored on the

first play of the fourth quarter to make it 22-14.

The Wildcats then reached the Maverick 29 before Kolste was intercepted.

Oak Harbor then drove to the 11, but the drive ended on downs with 1:14 left.

Meadowdale took a knee for three straight snaps, Oak Harbor used its final two time outs, the Mavericks punted (poorly) and the Wildcats had one last hope, getting the ball at the Meadowdale 41 with 19 seconds left.

Kolste connected with JoJo Webster for 25 yards and then threw an incompletion in the end zone. With :00.1 showing on the clock and time for one more play, Meadowdale’s front line made one more statement: Kolste was sacked without time to release a des-peration throw.

Peninsula nextAs can be expected of a

team that reaches the football playoffs, Peninsula features a high-powered offense and stingy defense.

After dropping nonleague games early in the season to two strong 4A teams that qual-ified for the playoffs, fourth-ranked Bellarmine Prep and Union, the Seahawks (7-2) have run off six straight wins. During that streak, no team

has been within 22 points and three times Peninsula scored over 50 points. It averages 37 points per game.

The Seahawks are noted for their “Air Raid” offense, but this season have mixed in more runs to take advantage

of talented, 6-2, 205-pound senior back Jimmy Price. Price has rushed for 757 yards on 106 carries (7.14 average) and scored eight touchdowns.

Senior quarterback Austin Filkins, 6-2, 210, is continuing Peninsula’s strong tradition of successfully throwing the ball, hitting 106 of 159 passes (67 percent) for 1,371 yards, 15 touchdowns and only four interceptions.

The offense is supported by kicker Sam Shea who has connected on eight of 12 field goals with a long of 42. He also averages 41 yards per punt.

The line features five seniors and averages only 207 pounds.

The defense, which starts 10 seniors, is small but tough, giving up only 11.6 points per game, and only Bellarmine Prep and Union have scored more than 13 in a game.

The leader of the group is 6-0, 200-pound inside line-backer Austin Wheat, who has 25 solo tackles, 32 assists and seven tackles for losses.

‘Cats lose to Meadowdale, face Peninsula in playoffs

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Sheyenne Sams (35) and Jayden Davila (11) bring down Meadowdale’s Amanuel Tekle.

A string of losses in close games added up to an early exit for the Coupeville vol-leyball team at the district tournament at Lynden Christian Saturday.

In addition to the lost matches, Coupeville is los-ing its long-time coach. Toni Crebbin announced to her players after the match that she is stepping down as the Wolves’ head coach.

Coupeville (4-13) opened the tournament with a 3-1 loss (17-25, 23-25, 25-22, 22-25) to tough Nooksack Valley (10-7), and then fell 3-0 (17-25, 23-25, 23-25) to Friday Harbor (9-8) and was eliminated.

Against Nooksack, Bessie Walstad recorded 11 kills and Hailey Hammer had nine kills and three aces.

Nooksack Valley, the No. 1 team from the Northwest

Conference, went on to place second in the tournament.

Crebbin said, “The girls and I were really proud of how we played in that match and felt good coming into the Friday Harbor match. Not sure what happened...but that game was a completely differ-ent story.”

Hammer fin-ished with eight kills, five coming in the final game. Walstad added six kills and 13 digs.

Crebbin, refer-ring to her resig-nation, said, “It has been a good 20 years, but it’s time for a break. This has been one of the most enjoy-able group of girls I have worked with. Who knows, maybe I will be coaching my

daughters in club volleyball in a few years.”

The Coupeville football team finished the regular sea-son with a 34-8 loss at Sultan Friday.

Last night the Wolves took part in a play-in game to qualify for the playoffs. Results were not available at press time. (See whidbeynewstimes.com for details.)

Coach Tony Maggio said Sultan’s team speed caused the Wolves trouble. In par-ticular, Coupeville couldn’t contain Sultan quarterback Antonio Rivas, who scored on runs of 34 and 51 yards.

“He runs like a deer,” Maggio said.

The game began well for the Wolves. “I thought we were ready,” Maggio said. “We stoned them in their first possession.”

Sultan made a few adjust-ments and its running game began to click. After leading 7-0 in the first quarter, the Turks erupted for three sec-ond-quarter scores to take a 27-0 lead into the break.

The Wolves struggled on offense, Maggio said, as Coupeville failed to pick up a flood of Sultan blitzes.

The injury bugaboo con-tinued to haunt Coupeville, losing a number of players

including starters running back Bryce Fleming, defen-sive back Korbin Korzan and linebacker Danny Savalza.

In the third quarter, the Wolves switched from their primary offensive set, the winged T, and went to the spread, moving running back Jake Tumblin to quarterback, a position he played last year.

The Coupeville offense perked up and Tumblin scored on a 41-yard run and finished with 120 yards on 23 carries. He completed two of 12 passes and passed to Josh Bayne for the two-point conversion.

Tumblin also paced the defense, recording three solo tackles, five assists and forc-ing a fumble.

Caleb Valco had one solo tackle and 10 assists.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

& Art About

By KATHY REEDStaff reporter

More and more, people are discovering Whidbey Island and all it has to offer, espe-cially when it comes to fiber farmers.

The third Whidbey Island Fiber Quest is Friday, Nov. 2 through Sunday, Nov. 4 at vari-ous fiber farms and businesses throughout the island.

“The goal is to visit our local farms and yarn shop and to have fun,” said Fiber Quest founder Mary Donaty, of Paradise Found Fiber Farm in Clinton. “Plus those who par-ticipate have the opportunity to win a gift bas-ket with about $300 worth of product.”

The focus of Fiber Quest is exactly that — fiber. While each farm’s animals will be pres-ent, they are not the stars — their fiber is. Each participating farm has a shop that features its products, including roving, yarns, felted fab-rics and finished items. Products will be for sale in each of the shops, but there is no cost to par-ticipate in Fiber Quest.

“Everything is free,” said Donaty. “Participants pick up tickets and business cards at the farms’ stores or the yarn shop. At each place they visit, they have the ticket signed. At the last place they visit, they turn in their ticket which is entered into a draw-ing.”

Participants must visit each of the four farms and the one yarn shop on the quest to

be entered into the drawing. But this year’s quest has an additional twist. Spoiled Dog Winery and Comforts Farm and Vineyard in Langley, Pickles Deli in Clinton and Sweet Mona’s Chocolate Boutique in Langley are also participating in Fiber Quest and will have special discounts available for people who present their tickets. (Pickles Deli is closed on Sunday, Nov. 4, however.)

“If people go to all those places, too, they’ll be eligible for a drawing for a secondary gift basket,” said Donaty. There are also two online guessing contests that people can par-ticipate in by going to www.whidbeyfiberquest.com.

Winners of the online contest will receive a gift certificate.

There is no particular order in which par-ticipants need to visit the venues, they can

start anywhere. Fiber farmers like Tracey Quinten of Island Bliss Alpacas in Oak Harbor are excited about the opportunity to show people what they do.

“It’s wonderful to be able to share what we know about the animals. It’s a lot of fun,” said Quinten, who has 23 alpacas and two llamas. “Their fleece is as soft as cashmere and they are easy animals to take care of.”

Those venturing out on the quest may be surprised by the variety they’ll find at the farm stores.

“I do blend some of the fiber with silk and some with other animal fibers,” Quinten said. “Whidbey is a wonderful place for the fiber

enthusiast.”“We have several different things we do

here,” said Cindi Hoffman of Knitty Purls in Langley, the last knitting shop left on the Whidbey Island. “We have a custom-dyed yarn called Whidbey Gems, which mimics the tones of the beach glass and Madrona,

which is inspired from the bark of the Madrona tree.”

“We’re all trying to stay alive,” said Donaty. “Every time we do something it’s an effort to expose ourselves to the world and let them see what we have to offer so we can keep doing what we’re doing.”

Plus, said Donaty, now’s a good time of the year to think about those winter

projects. “It’s time to start making Christmas gifts,”

she said. “But even if you’re not a knitter or a crocheter, we have finished goods.”

“It could be your best friend’s birthday.”“Come in and see how unique the island

and the farms are, the unique variety of the different fibers and the friendliness of our people,” said Hoffman.

Fine, fabulous FibeRit’s Fiber Quest, with a twist

Organizers of this year’s Fiber Quest have tossed in a new twist: Two local wineries, a deli and a chocolate shop will also be participating as people from all over the area come to Whidbey Island to see what local fiber farmers have to offer. There are four participating fiber farms and one yarn shop to visit from Friday, Nov. 2 through Sunday, Nov. 4. Go to www.whidbeyfiberquest.com for information on participating farms, rules and online contests. Lucky participants have a chance to win two gift baskets.

James Jolly, the three time speech winner from the Whidbey Sounders Toastmasters Club, moves on to the Toastmasters District 2 Speech Contest.

“James will dazzle a couple of hundred attendees with his hilarious speech in which he explains the proper tech-niques required to make a meal out of the free sample tables at Costco,” said Reid Schwartz, public relations, in a press release.

Jolly has done well

throughout this process, starting with the Humorist Speech Contest at the local club, the Whidbey Sounders Toastmasters Club, in September. He followed that with wins at both the Area 12 contest and then again at the Division A speech contest.

Jolly will next take on the best of the best at the District 2 Speech Contest, which will be held at the District 2 Fall Conference in Everett on Nov. 10. There, Jolly will compete against six other Division level winners.

Jolly is retired from the Navy, currently works at Skagit Valley College as a program coordinator and serves at vice president of education for the Whidbey Sounders Toastmasters Club.

“There will be a group of us attending the conference along with James. We will be there in force to cheer him on,” Schwartz added.

The Whidbey Sounders Toastmasters Club meets from 6:30-8 p.m. on the second, fourth and fifth Tuesdays of the month at San Remos Restaurant.

“Most people would rather die than get up in front of a group and speak. We work together to become better and more comfortable public speakers and leaders in our community,” Schwartz said.

For more information, visit www.whidbeysounders.org. Guests are welcome.

High school sweethearts to wed

Monsters were lurking underwater, and popped out of unexpected places through a hazy pool Friday night.

Lifeguards and staff at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool transformed into zom-bies, vampires and monsters who were eager to scare children and parents willing to venture into the Haunted Swamp.

Costumed kids along with their parents boarded inflat-able rafts and scuba divers

towed them through the twists and turns of the dark and humid pool.

“It was pretty cool,” said Oak Harbor resi-dent Richard Smith, who went through the Haunted Swamp Friday with his wife Akiko and children Jason and Lucas, who both dressed up as aliens. “My kids have been swimming here for years and it was

cool for them to see the life guards dress up.”

Katelin Fitzgerald, events coordinator for North Whidbey Park and Recreation District, estimated more than

100 people went through the swamp Friday.

“We had a lot of fun,” Fitzgerald said. She added that Popsies and Kakies Bakery, both on Pioneer Way, provided candy and cookies for families.

Kids and families were lined up to go into the Haunted Swamp, which was one of several events held during the end of October to celebrate Halloween.

more frightful halloween fun

Frightville, which is orga-nized by the Oak Harbor Boys and Girls Club and

takes place in the Roller Barn, has been a popular haunted house on North Whidbey since mid-October. The fearful fun only esca-lates for Halloween with a particularly frightening lights-off “witching hour” from 9 to 10 p.m. tonight. The normals thrills and

screams take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 31.

Find out more at www.frightvillehaunt.com.

The Halloween festivities continue Wednesday, Oct. 31 with a costumed fun run that begins at 4:30 p.m. The race starts at the Windjammer Park camping area and ends

at Angelo’s Caffe on Pioneer Way in downtown Oak Harbor. The race will finish in time for trick or treating on Pioneer Way that goes from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

For a list of Halloween activities, see the calendar on page A14 of the Whidbey News-Times.

John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool came alive with monsters as families floated through Haunted Swamp

Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Akiko, Jason, Lucas and Richard Smith of Oak Harbor board an inflatable boat to witness the frights and other surprises that are found at the Haunted Swamp, which took place Friday night at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool. The swamp drew dozens of costume-clad kids and was one of a number of events taking place to celebrate Halloween on Whidbey Island.

Nathan Whalen / Whidbey News-Times

Lurking below the waters of the Oak Harbor pool were scream-inducing zombies, vampires and monsters, just waiting to pounce on unsuspecting families touring the Haunted Swamp.

The scares are just beginning

Don’t miss out on the final night of Frightville Haunted House at the Roller Barn tonight.
