The Navy this week said it plans to more than double the number of P-8A Poseidons destined for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Instead of the planned 24 planes, the Navy will station 49 of

the sub-hunting jets at the NAS Whidbey, said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, a Decond District Democrat.

“If there was any lingering concern about the future of our naval bases, this news will lay it to rest,” said Larsen. “I have worked for over a decade with local leaders to make the case to the Navy why Northwest Washington is the best place to base these assets.”

“The Navy clearly agrees.”Larsen was briefed Friday morning on the Navy’s strategic

lay down plan for 2013-20, which outlines the change.

Living:Drama returns to high schoolstage A11

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

It’s taken a couple of years of negotiating, but North Whidbey artist Wayne Lewis may soon send his 3-foot clay sculpture of a Native American to be cast in bronze.

Lewis is donating the intricately detailed sculpture, named “Island Spirit,” to the city of Oak Harbor for display on Pioneer Way.

He’s asking the city to foot the $6,500 bill for casting. He also has another gift for the city up his sleeve: He’s

working on a sculpture of the Barringtons, a couple who were among the earliest pioneers in Oak Harbor.

“I’m really interested in Whidbey Island history,” Lewis said.

“I live here and I think people would really like to see these sculptures,” he added. “It’s my community service. It’s what I do.”

Lewis’ statues will likely join other high-profile art pieces that have graced downtown since the renovation project on Southeast Pioneer Way was completed.

The city’s Arts Commission directed the purchase of three pieces — the bronze Stumbly Ducklings and mer-maid and the silvery Moon Waves — over the last couple of years at a cost of $30,000 each.

During a recent City Council workshop, Senior Planner Cac Kamak said that the Arts Commission hopes to pur-chase an “eye-catching” piece for the entrance of the down-town area. He said the members plan to work with one of the artists who’ve already created downtown artwork.

The estimated $30,000 is available in the Arts Commission budget.

Kamak also informed the council members about Lewis’ sculpture of an Indian, which he said will be placed across the street from the mermaid statue. They were excited about the bronze artwork, but one councilman said they wished it was full-sized to match the mermaid.

Lewis, known for creating the bronze Dutch Boy at Windjammer Park, said he decided to make a sculpture honoring the native people of Whidbey Island. It features

Tim Jones, operations manager for Penn Cove Shellfish, inspects a string of mussels on one of the farm’s rafts Friday morning. Earlier this week, company officials voiced concerns at a meeting about Island County’s Shoreline Master Program.


Concerned residents and business owners took one last opportunity this week to voice their thoughts about Island County’s Shoreline Master Program.

On Wednesday, the state Department of Ecology held an open house and public hearing in Coupeville.

The agency, charged with reviewing and approving the county’s recently adopted pro-gram, will accept written com-ments for several more weeks,

but this was the department’s only scheduled public meeting before Ecology officials make a decision.

Critics didn’t waste the oppor-tunity as more than 35 people attended the three-hour event.

Many of them took to the microphone to complain about specific sections of the pro-gram.

AS WITH the many public meetings held last year, the hot-test topics concerned aquacul-ture rules and regulations sur-

A controversial low-income housing project in Freeland may be moving forward after all.

Teri Anania, executive director of the Island County Housing Authority, confirmed this week that the major per-mitting problem facing the $6.3-million project is in the process of being resolved.

“It’s a huge relief,” Anania said.

“We have to keep the momentum going.”

Sunny Side Village is a four-building, 26-unit, low-income housing project planned for a nine-acre lot off Fish Road, between State Highway 525 and Scenic Avenue.

The housing authority has worked on the development since 2008, but those plans nearly fell through earlier this year.

Concerns about a nearby well, which supplies water to a large portion of Freeland, were validated when a hydrologist found that the housing complex’s planned

septic system would not be enough to keep nitrate levels in the well from exceeding state standards.

Despite having sunk near-ly $1 million into the project, the housing authority had no other choice but to begin looking at a pricey on-site treatment plant.

At the time, it was unclear whether the additional expense could be borne, putting the entire project in jeopardy.

Anania said those concerns are put to rest.

The new system is expect-ed to cost about $300,000. About half of that was secured from a contingency fund and the rest was found within the existing budget, she said.

According to Keith Higman, director of Island County Public Health, the hydrologist’s determination put the housing authority “back to square one” in terms of septic permitting.

Unlike traditional septic systems, large on-site treat-ment plants treat effluent above the surface so it can be reused for things such as

irrigation, watering landscap-ing or flushing toilets.

“You don’t just dispose of it back into the ground,” he said.

Permitting of such systems fall under the purview of the state Department of Health. He speculated that the state’s review could delay the devel-opment’s ground breaking, according to Higman.

Anania confirmed con-struction is expected to be pushed back about three months. The plan was to start in the summer but now the best guess is sometime this fall.

“I’m hoping all the stars align correctly for us,” Anania said.

The housing authority is not an entity of Island County government but a state spe-cial purpose district that aims to provide housing for elderly and low-income residents.

Units at Sunny View will add to the 110 public housing units the organization owns and manages on properties in Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley.

Nearly a year after a vot-er-approved ballot initiative allowed liquor to be sold in large retail stores, the for-mer state-owned and contract liquor stores on Whidbey are struggling.

The liquor store in Oak Harbor closed in late 2012 while contract liquor stores in Coupeville and Freeland saw sales plummet by more than half since privatization went into effect.

“It’s not going well,” said Pam Smith, owner of Coupeville Liquor on North Main Street, adding she’s not ready to jump ship.

She estimates that her business dropped about 60 percent since the market flooded with competitors.

Ken Vaughan, manager of Freeland Liquor, said he’s lost a similar amount of busi-ness since privatization.

His store is located close to a grocery store, which also started selling spirits after June 2012.

When stores that were at least 10,000 square feet were legally able to sell alcohol, the number a businesses where people could buy booze sky-rocketed.

Initiative 1183 was approved by voters in 2012, and allowed large stores to sell alcohol beginning in June 2012.

Prior to privatization, 328 businesses, both state-owned and contract stores, sold liquor. After privatization, that number jumped to more than 1,500, according to the Washington State Liquor Control Board.

On Whidbey Island, gro-cery stores such as Safeway,

Prairie Center and Payless Foods started selling liquor.

Smith said in the months after privatization, she contin-ues to diversify her offerings and offer spirits people won’t find in the larger supermar-kets and pharmacies.

“When they need a bottle of something really weird, they won’t find it anywhere on the island,” Smith said about what might happen if her business closed.

She also started stocking craft beers and wines out of the North Main Street store she has operated since 1995.

In addition to its eclectic selection of liquor, custom-ers also enjoy the springtime appearance of young farm animals such as goats. This year, she has a rescue dog that hangs out behind the counter.

Smith said she would like to see an environment that would allow her to complete in the marketplace.

Liquor retailers are required to pay a 17 per-cent tax on all liquor sales. Because of that tax she is required to charge, all of the sales she made to Whidbey restaurants dried up. They bought from distributors who didn’t have to add the tax.

“That makes it pretty tough,” Smith said.

Vaughan said he lost all but one restaurant.

Smith said that state leg-islation had been proposed that would have allowed her to distribute liquor without paying the tax, however, it wasn’t approved.

Both Vaughan and Smith noted that the large stores, with a wider variety of goods in addition to alcohol, can lower the price of their liquor and the loss can be absorbed through sales of other items.

“It was all set up to totally kill the little guy,” Vaughan said.

Privatization has increased

the price of liquor too. Coupeville Liquor has to post pre- and post-tax prices due to the complaints from stick-er-shocked customers.

The average price per liter has increased since the voter-approved initiative was enacted. The cost per liter per month from June 2012 to February 2013 ranged from $23.70 to $25.35 per liter, according to information from the Washington State Department of Revenue.

The price per liter for the same time period a year ear-lier ranged from $21.28 per liter to $23.11 per liter.

Smith said the remaining liquor store owners talked about forming a co-op and buy as a group, but deter-mined it wasn’t possible.

The small liquor stores con-tinue to stay open. Vaughan said he hopes to see an uptick in business as the snowbird-ers return to Whidbey Island for the season.

Current contract costing county $527K per year By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Beginning next year, Island County could be served by a new public defender.

During the Island County commissioner’s weekly work session Wednesday, the board informally agreed to seek proposals from qual-ified law firms interested in being the county’s primary public defense contractor.

The existing agree-ment is with the Law Of fices of Thomas Pacher in Coupeville. The $526,950-a-year contract was first signed in 2006 and currently pays for five attor-neys and one investigator.

It expires at the end of this year.

“Since it’s been seven

years with the same con-tract, with one amendment, it’s staff’s recommendation (to seek new proposals),” said Don Mason, pub-lic defense administrator with the county’s General Services Administration.

While the proposal is for the commissioners to decide, the matter was submitted for review to the county’s three judges as a courtesy, said Budget Director Elaine Marlow. None of them objected.

The board of commis-sioners was equally sup-portive.

Chair woman Kelly Emerson said long-term contracts can have unex-pected consequences.

For example, in 2011 the state Supreme Court ordered King County to allow long-time public defenders the option of enrolling in the county’s retirement system.

That led to a settle-ment approved by the

Metropolitan King County Council earlier this year that made them county employees.

Emerson said she wants to avoid any possibility of that happening here.

“I don’t want to end up in that same situation so I want to make sure we’re taking all precautions,” Emerson said.

“I think it’s just good practice after a number of years to go out and give other firms a chance to bid, keep folks competitive,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson added.

Pacher could not be reached for comment but his firm is eligible to sub-mit a new proposal.

Under a scheduled time-line, contract proposals would be sought from Aug. 1 through Sept. 3.

The board of commis-sioners would make its selection in October and the new contract would go into effect Jan. 1.

Draft horses named Otto and Jim took Central Whidbey on a ride back in time this week.

Hired by a local farmer, the massive American Belgians and their owner, Freeland resident Greg Lange, spent most of Tuesday seeding a seven-acre field east of Engle Road.

“When was the last time this happened?” asked Georgina Silby, marveling at what was once a common sight.

Silby hired the team as an experiment in mixed power for agriculture.

She said she isn’t against using modern farm equip-ment and fully intends to harvest later this year with a combine.

But for some small-scale uses, such as seeding a rela-tively tiny field, it may make sense as a green alternative to a diesel tractor, she said.

Silby hasn’t received a bill yet so it remains to be seen whether the method is cost effective.

“We’ll see,” Silby said. “It’s an experiment.”

“This is kinda like a research project,” she said.

Lange, owner of Draftworks Horse Logging and Custom Farming, came to Whidbey from Port Angeles about six months ago.

In Port Angeles, he special-ized in “forest stand improve-

ment,” or sustainable, low-impact thinning.

Lange is now applying the trade to agriculture.

He says it’s “the right thing to do” and is “all part of work-ing with horses,” which is

something he loves doing.He’s also interested in the

idea of farming by horse-power.

“I enjoy the concept of pro-ducing food with animals,” Lange said.

And to answer Sibly’s

question, it’s only been a few weeks since horses worked land in Central Whidbey.

He plowed a field for Linda Bartlett and Valerie Reuther earlier this month.

“It was really cool,” Bartlett said.

It was a little more pricey, as their fields are usually plowed by neighbor John Moon for nothing more than a plate of home-baked brownies, but it was worth it, she said.

“We’re always looking for ways not to use fossil fuels but not break our backs at the same time,” Bartlett said.

The practice also caught the eye of Mark Preiss, manager of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve.

The working horses fit nicely into the context of a national park that’s geared toward the preservation of a historical, cultural and work-ing landscape, he said.

“I think it’s powerful,” Preiss said.

As for Otto, Jim and Greg, they are looking for addition-al work.

Greg Lange can be reached at 360-461-1244.

Letters to the editorBallotsLaw�and�justice�tax�another�Prop�1Editor,

On Aug. 17, 2010, 71 per-cent of voters shot down Island County’s Proposition 1 property levy tax.

Any “law and justice” $2.6 million fall ballot measure is simply Prop 1 gussied up to make it appear as if it something entirely different, but it’s the same thing all over again and voters should reject it, too.

Proposition 1 support-ers conducted forums to inform the public about why the county needed a tax increase, laced with a bunch of scare tactics telling us how bad it would be if we did not approve Prop 1.

Those forums ended with former Island County com-missioner John Dean saying,

“The purpose is to provide voters with enough informa-tion to make a choice.”

“We are committed to doing whatever voters decide,” he said.

After Prop. 1’s defeat, Island County Commissioners sim-ply created a brand new “Clean Water Utility” taxing district and took more prop-erty tax revenue anyway.

It seems Sheriff Mark Brown is now pretty much “channeling” Commissioner Dean.

When speaking to me recently about this pro-posed property tax increase, Sheriff Mark Brown said, almost verbatim: “The pur-pose is to provide voters with enough information to make a choice. We are com-mitted to doing whatever voters decide.”

As the economy improves and property values increase, prioritizing those increas-ing tax dollars towards “law

and justice” is what Island County needs to do — not again raise property taxes.

Voters should say “no” again to Prop 1, or to what-ever it is going to be called this time around.

In the next couple of weeks the Washington State Legislature will decide whether to fund construc-tion of a third 144-car ferry.

The ferry will replace one of the 60 year old boats cur-rently in the system.

Island County commissioners informally agreed this week to seek bids to replace the current public defense contract.

With the county and agencies across the nation needing to find ways to pinch pennies, this is a prudent decision.

Not that the current defender hasn’t done a good job. Rather, obtaining bids keeps things fresh and competitive, offering the county a chance to reevaluate costs and services provided.

The current contract, with the Law Offices of Thomas Pacher of Coupeville, is for $526,950 annually. It was signed in 2006.

The contract pays for five attorneys and one investi-gator.

With the contract expiring this year, now’s the time for commissioners to do some number crunching and come up with new cost parameters to meet budget concerns.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson said it was a good idea to go to bid, saying she’s concerned there might be unexpected consequences concerning long-term contracts.

She cited an incident in 2011 involving King County in which the county was ordered to allow long-time public defenders the option of enrolling in the county’s retirement system.

“I don’t want to end up in that same situation, so I want to make sure we’re taking all precautions,” Emerson said.

The county can take precautions by establishing a regularly rotating contract schedule. Perhaps instead of making it every six or seven years, officials should consider setting maximum four-year contracts.

Regular evaluation of contracts and funds is impor-tant when dealing with taxpayer dollars. It allows for exploration for concerns such as Emerson’s, and also allows for good old-fashioned fiscal responsibility.

Commissioners are taking the right step in seeking new bids.

While they have just informally approved the deci-sion, the county commissioners should take the steps to make it a formal one.

Putting contracts to bid regularly is a prudent step

Question of the week:Sequestration will hit Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in June when mandatory one-day-a-week furloughs for 1,200 civilian workers go into effect. How do you think this will impact Oak Harbor or Whidbey Island’s economy?

fied as an antique is not reli-able enough to get us back and forth to work, how much more important to replace a ferry which might carry over 1 million vehicles a year?

The state can also save money using manufacturing efficiencies.

Over a hundred years ago Henry Ford learned that assembly lines reduce costs. Adding another 144 now will take advantage of the assembly lines established at Nichols Brothers and Vigor to meet the demand of build-ing the two boats currently in construction.

Let’s use that to our advan-tage, build the third boat now and save a bundle. Building the 144 also boosts Island County’s economy.

Constructing the 144 superstructures has added 80 to 100 living wage jobs to the county. That equates to over six million dollars annu-ally in payroll which leads to a $12 million dollar impact to our local economy and sup-ports 370 other jobs.

No other private employer located in the county comes close to the economic impact Nichols Brothers provides.

Building another 144 is the right choice. The new ferry will replace an antique boat with a modern, more efficient and less polluting one along with providing vital living wage jobs for Island County and Washington state.

Let our legislators know you’re onboard building a new ferry.

Call the legislative hotline, 1-800-562-6000, and leave a message for Sen. Bailey, Rep. Smith and Rep. Hayes.

PlanShoreline�update�needs�revisitingEditor,

Wednesday night was the open house held by Department of Ecology for Island County’s new Shoreline Master Program Update.

Considering the plan has new and larger waterfront setbacks for home construc-tion, I was curious and con-cerned what the plan would say about the hundreds of waterfront homes that had been legally constructed and met the setbacks at the time of construction but would now be non-conforming for setbacks once the plan is adopted.

Many of the historical waterfront lots are nowhere

near the depth of the new setbacks.

My concern is if there is a catastrophic event such as a fire or earthquake could the home owner rebuild if the home was damaged or destroyed.

The answer is no, it can’t be rebuilt if the home is more than 75 percent destroyed, minus foundation.

Note: leaving out the foun-dation or lot cost just makes it that much more difficult to be under the 75 percent limit.

During my tenure as coun-

ty commissioner our board did not want to hammer the unfortunate family that had experienced a catastrophic loss and made sure if a family had legally built their home at some point in time they would be able to rebuild their home as long as it was not located any closer to the water than originally built.

I asked a state Department of Ecology representative if the 75 percent criterion was required or had any other communities allowed the rebuilding if 100 percent had been destroyed.

He answered that some communities had used 100 percent. I then asked could anything be changed at this point in the process.

He said ecology could change it based on public comments.

If you feel the county should not kick or punish the unfortunate family that has their home destroyed more than 75 percent please con-tact David Pater, Washington State Department of Ecology at 3190 160th Ave. S.E., Bellevue, WA 98008 or email him at David.Pater@

ecy.wa.gov.Explain that, if a home

is destroyed and is now non-conforming because of increased setbacks, that home should be able to be rebuilt even if 100 percent is destroyed.

Also contact the county commissioners because they can also demand the change.

Comments are dueno later than 5 p.m. Friday, May 24.

rounding existing and future public beach accesses.

Ian Jefferds, owner of Penn Cove Shellfish, testi-fied against changes made in December by the Island County commissioners. Language was added suggest-ing his family’s mussel farm, in business since 1975, may have to prove that operations are not resulting in “adverse

environmental impacts.” Jefferds said the farm does

much to keep the water in Penn Cove clean, and while the rule may be directed at fin fish net pens, he regards the language as an affront to the mussle farm’s efforts.

“This particular regulation is not only misdirected but offensive,” Jefferds said.

He didn’t go into specif-

ics at the meeting, but one example of the farm’s water quality improvement efforts took place in 2010 when the company contributed $6,000 to the Port of Coupeville help with the cost of a pump-out station at Coupeville Wharf.

FIN FISH net pens for non-native species was also con-troversial.

Following overwhelming public testimony against so-called “fish farms” last year, the county commissioners agreed to ban them outright. However, that prohibition was a source of heartburn for state Ecology.

“We feel it may be too restrictive to accommodate this water-dependent use, which conflicts with some of the key elements of the Shoreline Management Act,” said David Pater, a shoreline planner with Ecology.

Pater is the official review-ing the county‚Äôs plan.

ADOPTED BY the state Legislature in 1972, the Shorelines Act requires

municipalities to adopt mas-ter programs that guide development on and around the waterfront, including lakes and rivers.

The foundation of the legislation is to reduce the impact of development on the environment. One of the chief ways of accomplishing that is by limiting the types of uses to those that cannot exist anywhere else, such as ferry docks or, in this case fish farms.

The agency has long held the position that they are one of a few allowed water-depen-dent uses and cannot simply be outlawed. But many feel Ecology’s stand is contradic-tory to the underlying goal of the Act.

STEVE ERICKSON, a founder of Whidbey Environmental Action Network, called the facilities “feed lots” that produce and release massive amounts of untreated sewage into Puget Sound.

He accused state Ecology of being a “captive of the

industry,” representing the wishes of lobbyists over the expressed interest of the pub-lic on behalf of the environ-ment.

“This is a classic example of what’s called a ‘captive agency,’ where the industry the agency is supposed to regulate has taken over the agency,” he said.

ALSO SPEAKING Wednesday were representa-tives of the recently-renamed beach access citizen advo-cacy group, Island Beach Access.

Among them was founder Mike McVay, of Langley.

He expressed concerns that the programs goals for maintaining existing and cre-ating new public accesses may be difficult to enforce.

McVay also questioned why the county’s public access map is not updated —

the current version is incom-plete and inaccurate, he said.

“This isn’t going to go away,” said McVay, concern-ing encroachment by private property owners.

“It’s only going to get more competitive and combative.”

“SORRY YOU have to lis-ten to us bully you like this,” McVay told Ecology officials, a comment that drew chuck-les from the crowd.

Deadline for public com-ments of the Shoreline Management Plan is 5 p.m., May 24.

They can be mailed to Pater at 3190 160th Ave. S.E., Bellevue, 98008, emailed to [email protected], or submitted by telephone by calling 425-649-4253.

There are still several more steps in the process and it may be months before the agency issues a decision.

Whidbey Games of the week Oak Harbor starts district today at 2 p.m.: Soccer at home with Shorecrest; baseball at Glacier Peak.

By JIM WALLERSports editor

A thrilling 1-0 win over visiting Marysville-Pilchuck in the final regular season match Wednesday assured the Oak Harbor High School soccer team of a home match in the opening round of the district tournament.

With an assist from Stanwood, coached by Oak Harbor grad Kyle Veach, Oak Harbor (6-6-1, 7-8-1) locked up second-place in the Wesco North and the home dis-trict match. The Wildcats skipped over Marysville Getchell (5-6-2, 5-9-2), which lost to Veach’s first-place Spartans Wednesday, in the stand-ings.

Oak Harbor will make its first appearance in the soccer playoffs since 2002, Veach’s junior season. The Wildcats lost a play-in game in 2003. Previous to 2002, the last district appearance was 1994.

Marysville-Pilchuck (4-8-1) could have tied Oak Harbor for third in the tightly-bunched North with a win over the Wildcats.

Oak Harbor’s Andrew Mitchell, assisted by Gavin Stewart, bombed in a goal from 35 yards out just eight minutes into the match. From that point, keepers Kevin Silveira (Oak Harbor) and Cole Bradley-Kuk matched saves.

Oak Harbor dominated the first 10 minutes before play evened out. The Tomahawks threatened with four corner kicks but were turned away by Silveira and the Wildcat defense.

Marysville-Pilchuck took its turn dominating during the first 20 minutes of the second half. In one 60-second stretch Silveira made two diving saves and forced another kick wide that thumped off the post.

From that point, Oak Harbor adjusted, according to coach Brian Thompson.

“They started to get super physi-cal after the half and we did not handle it well,” Thompson said. “We eventually matched them.”

He added, “I am extremely happy the way we held them the second half.”

The win, however, was costly. Senior Matt Jensen injured a knee and will the playoffs.

Thompson said, “This is a big loss for our team to lose a starting forward and one of our captains.”

North No. 2 seed Oak Harbor hosts South No. 3 seed Shorecrest (10-3-3) at 2 p.m. today. Oak Harbor lost to Shorecrest 4-1 April 9. Although the Scots are the South’s third-place team, they are ranked eighth in the state 3A poll.

The Oak Harbor/Shorecrest win-ner meets the winner of Shorewood (13-1-1) and Marysville-Pilchuck at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Shoreline Stadium; the losers play at the home of the higher seed.

The top three teams from the eight-team, double elimination district tournament qualify for the regional playoffs.

Leete earns more medalist honorsoh baseball enters playoffs

The Oak Harbor baseball team picked up some momentum for the playoffs with a 4-2 win at Meadowdale in the regular-season finale Tuesday.

The third-seeded Wildcats (10-7, 11-9) go to Snohomish to face second-seed Gla-cier Peak (13-4, 15-5) in the first round of the eight-team, double-elimination district at 2 p.m. today.

The Oak Harbor/Glacier Peak winner and loser will face their counterparts from the first-seeded Marysville-Pilchuck (14-3, 16-4) and fourth-seeded Meadowdale (8-0, 9-11) game at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

The winners meet at Shoreline’s Merid-ian Park Fields. The losers meet at the home of the higher seed.

In Oak Harbor’s win over Meadowdale, Danny Wolfe and reliever Andrew Snavely, who entered in the sixth, combined for a four-hitter.

Grant Schroeder led the offense with three hits, including a double and two RBI. Wolfe also had two hits.

Everett rally sinks ‘catsIt was baseball’s equivalent of “It’s a first

down and more.”Everett needed two runs to tie in the

seventh inning of its softball game at Oak Harbor, and the Seagulls scored eight to win 9-4 Tuesday.

Everett blended four hits with two er-rors and three walks in the big inning.

The Wildcats scored two runs in the first and never trailed until the seventh.

Lexie Findley led the attack with three hits. Morgan Young had two hits, includ-ing a triple and RBI. Starting pitcher Emily Saar singled in two runs and Natalie Fiallos had a hit and RBI.

The loss dropped Oak Harbor (3-7, 4-13) into fourth, one game behind Everett

(4-6, 5-12) and Marysville Getchell (4-6, 6-11) and one game ahead of Stanwood (2-8, 4-13). Only the top three teams ad-vance to the district tournament.

The Wildcats travel to the South Divi-sion’s second-place team Shorecrest (8-2, 12-5) Monday and then host North leader Marysville-Pilchuck (6-4, 9-8) at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Wolves win in tennis finaleAfter squeaking by Lakewood last

week, Coupeville tennis coach Ken Stange changed his lineup for the rematch, and the Wolves rolled to a 5-0 win in the reg-ular-season finale in Coupeville Tuesday.

Stange said, “I shifted the lineup a bit. The goal was to optimize our win poten-tial. It couldn’t have worked out better.”

The Wolves finished the dual season with a 9-4 mark; the JV team went 3-0.

Singles: 1, Iris Ryckaert won 6-2, 6-2; 2, Emily Gallahar won 6-4, 6-3.

It was a short stay in the playoffs for the Coupeville High School baseball and soccer teams.

Baseball team drops 2 games

The baseball team’s sea-son came to a screeching halt when the Wolves lost 5-2 to Nooksack Valley in a losers-out district game at Blaine Thursday.

The loss came on the heels of a 2-1 loss at home to Lynden Christian in the opening round Wednesday.

The Wolves finished the regular season in a flour-ish but couldn’t sustain the momentum in the playoffs. Coach Willie Smith said his club “worked so hard” to get the top 1A seed out of the Cascade Conference and then didn’t take advantage of the opportunity with two straight district losses.

“A rather sudden and unexpected ending to an oth-erwise strong season,” Smith said.

In the loss to Lynden Christian, the Wolves wasted a strong outing by pitcher Ben Etzell. The junior right-hander struck out 11 and walked one in a complete-game five-hitter.

All of the game’s scoring came in the second. With

one out in the top half, Etzell yielded his lone walk. After a strikeout, the Lyncs dinked a single in front of center fielder Wade Schaef, then Jamie Heystek doubled in both runs.

Etzell went on to face the minimum number of hitters over the final five innings, picking off the one batter who had a hit after the second.

In the bottom of the second, Jake Tumblin doubled and scored on Kyle Bodamer’s base hit.

While Etzell was mowing down the Lyncs, the Wolves couldn’t take advantage of their scoring opportunities.

Coupeville got its leadoff man aboard in both the sixth and seventh.

In the sixth, Drew Chan led with a single and Etzell bunted him to second. Morgan Payne followed with a line shot off the pitcher that resulted in a ground out. Had the ball gone through, pinch runner Korbin Korzan most likely would have scored.

In the seventh, Bodamer led with a walk and was bunt-ed up by Aaron Trumbull. Lynden Christian then com-mitted the game’s only two errors sandwiched around a pop out, putting runners at second and third, but a strike-out ended the threat.

Lynden Christian (9-11) pitcher Truman Van Dalen,

whose breaking ball frus-trated Coupeville hitters

throughout the game, fin-ished with five strikeouts and

a five hitter.In regard to the Nooksack

Valley loss, Smith said, “Not really sure what to say except we did not come out very excited or focused and played fairly flat all game. Defensively we were pretty solid but, once again, could not get anything going offensively. When we did get runners on, we didn’t execute well or run the bases well.”

The Pioneers scored two runs off starter Aaron Curtin in the second inning and never trailed.

Nooksack Valley (7-14) added two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth and Coupeville could counter with only a single run in the sixth.

Kurtis Smith, Etzell and Payne collected six of the Wolves’ eight hits by rapping two each. Smith slashed a run-scoring triple and Etzell added a double.

Tumblin picked up the sec-ond RBI.

The Wolves beat Nooksack Valley 9-8, coming from five runs down, in a nonleague game early in the season.

Coupeville finished the sea-son with 10 wins in 22 games after winning only five in the previous two seasons. The Wolves lose only one senior to graduation, starting sec-ond baseman Drew Chan.

Soccer squad edged by LC

The season ended the way it started for the Coupeville High School soccer team, with a 1-0 loss.

The Wolves, the eighth seed, dropped the match at top-seeded Lynden Christian (9-5-3) in the opening loser-out round of the district tour-nament Wednesday.

It was a year of near misses for Coupeville (3-14). Half of the team’s losses came by one goal; two of those came in shootouts and another in overtime.

The frustration of another close loss was magnified when Lynden Christian’s lone goal came on a defec-tion off a Coupeville player from a corner kick in the 20th minute.

Coupeville keeper Kole Kellison collected 11 saves in the defensive battle.

Coach Paul Mendes said, “Both teams had scoring chances throughout the match.”

He added, “We gave it our best shot and left it all on the field, no regrets. This was a fine group. They displayed great sportsmanship and rep-resented their school very well all season long. What will stand out for me the most is their indomitable spirit.”

Jake Tumblin slides home for Coupeville’s lone run against Lynden Christian in the opening round of the playoffs.

Wolves lose in softballCedarcrest held onto first in the Cas-

cade Conference softball standings by stopping host Coupeville 7-3 Wednesday.

The Red Wolves (13-3, 14-3) scored all seven of their runs in the first four innings to lead 7-0.

McKayla Bailey relieved Maria Rockwell in the fourth and blanked Cedarcrest over the final three innings on three hits, but Coupeville couldn’t overcome the deficit.

Madi Roberts went 3-for-4, Madi Stras-burg had two singles and Hailey Hammer and Bailey doubled for the Wolves.

Coupeville (4-11, 5-11) hosts Granite Falls (9-5, 10-6) at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

chS sets 3 track recordsThree Coupeville High School track

records fell with strong performances by Makana Stone, Madison Tisa-McPhee and the girls relay teams at the Cascade Con-ference meet at King’s Thursday.

As a team, the Wolves finished sixth out of eight schools in the girls standings with 75 points, just 11 points out of third. King’s won with 178.

The boys were eighth with 14; Lake-wood won with 159.

Stone, Tisa-McPhee, Sylvia Hurlburt and Jai’Lysa Hoskins ran the 4x200 relay in a blistering 1:47.51, breaking their own school record by three seconds and post-ing the best 1A time in the state this

spring.Stone, Hoskins, Kirsten Pelroy and

Marisa Etzell won the 4x400 in 4:15.92, running the state’s seventh-best time and breaking the old school record of 4:17.09.

Tisa-McPhee, Etzell, Hurlburt and Hoskins added a second in the 4x100 in the state’s eighth-best time, 52.31.

Stone made it four wins in four events by taking the 100 in 13.22 and breaking her own school record in the 200 in 26.74.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

My husband’s invitation to transplant trees and ferns on our property drew me outdoors this week for a dose of sunshine and conversation. We were most intent on finding seed-lings, transplanted by the wind and the birds. But only when we slowed our pace and care-fully searched under grown-up trees did we finally discover an

abundance of infant grand firs.I almost hated to disturb them, sheltered by the

mature trees around them. But I also knew that if we did not carefully dig them up and move them into an open, sunny location where we could water, fertilize and watch over them, most would eventually experi-ence stunted growth, there in the cramped dark floor of the forest. Most would resemble nothing close to being grand at all.

We placed baby grand firs around the wooded areas that skirt our lawn. We talked about the size of the trees that were there when we moved into our home 23 years ago and wondered what these seed-lings will look like in the years to come.

I like the entire process. Implied is ownership and anticipation.

Vision. Respect. Responsibility.They are only trees, indeed. Yet our ability to take

a simple experience such as this and apply the les-sons learned to situations in our lives that are more complex is what separates us from all else in God’s creation.

It is also what makes spring so enthralling. It is what prompted author Margaret Atwood to write, “in the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

The days are getting longer and warmer. As we come out from our bungalows, may we ask God to help us identify and care for those around us who have the potential to become grand men and women, but may today remain rooted in the shade.

The great power of faith and evidence of our com-mitments is the way we choose to live and work in our communities. I often think of Mother Teresa this time of year and the ways she worked in Calcutta, India.

“Because I cannot see Christ I cannot express my love to him,” she once explained to writer Malcolm Muggeridge, “but our neighbors we can see, and we can do for them what we would like to do for Christ.”

It was her faith that not only motivated her choice to serve the ill and dying of Calcutta, but gave her the strength, toward the end of her own life, to continue in the face of ill health and overwhelming need. She served out of love and duty to Christ, yet she also learned to love the people in her community because she took the time to get to know them.

Each of us has the opportunity to tap into that same source of strength. All we have to do is ask God for courage and wisdom and desire. Ask people who regularly work with social agencies and nonprofits and churches how we can help to serve people with real needs.

God promises to give us the vision, the tools and the passion to get started.

This is the season to dig in. Get a little dirty.

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

T hey started arriv-ing more than three hours early to get prepped with make-

up, costumes and wireless microphones.

What was barely imagin-able in recent years was about to be realized for some eager Oak Harbor High School students, with a mere matter of hours now being the only obstacle.

“We were all really anx-ious,” senior Sophie Marks said.

Finally, out of the darkness, a man wearing a black suit jacket and purple tie appeared from behind a curtain. He walked to center stage and the wait was over.

“Hello, I’m Charles Smothermon,” he told the small audience. “I’d like to welcome you to opening night of ‘Once Upon a Mattress.’”

FOR THE next two and a half hours, a cast and crew of more than 50 performed a musical comedy that was music to the ears of many of the high school’s choir and drama students and staff.

The musical was the first

production on the high school’s main stage in the auditorium in three years and only the second since con-struction of the Student Union Building was completed in December of 2009.

Most significantly, the event marked the return of theater to Oak Harbor High School.

OHHS WAS without a drama club since 2008. That changed when Smothermon was hired as a drama teacher last school year. He relaunched the club in the spring, paving the way for theater productions to return to the school.

He’s quick to point out, however, that “Once Upon a Mattress,” is a collaborative effort between the drama and choir clubs. Smothermon is the show’s director. Darren McCoy, the high school’s cho-ral director, is producer.

“Darren’s show choir is

such a phenomenal group,” Smothermon said. “It’s inte-gral to the show in what we do. He’s an incredible teacher. He’s one of our best teachers. He’s just a really, really incred-ible guy to work with. He pre-pares them so well musically.

“He’s a big part of why we’re doing what we’re doing here.”

IT WAS McCoy who directed the only other pro-duction on the school’s new stage, the musical, “Into the Woods,” three years ago.

McCoy welcomed the addi-tion of Smothermon to the school’s staff. They wasted

Play time“Once Upon a Mat-

tress” has four shows remaining at Oak Harbor High School’s student union building: May 4, 9 10 and 11. Shows are at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for kids 10 and under. Buy tickets at the door, or reserve by calling 360-279-5829.

little time joining forces to relaunch stage productions.

Smothermon and McCoy settled on the idea of produc-ing “Once Upon a Mattress” last spring.

Word spread quickly.“After we found out we

were doing another musical, all the choir kids freaked out and were so excited,” said Katie McClimans, a senior and choir club president who plays one of the key roles in the play, Princess Winnifred.

MCCLIMANS performed in “Into the Woods” as a freshman, then turned to the Whidbey Playhouse for the-ater opportunities over the past two years.

“’Into the Woods’ was such a good experience,” McClimans said, “and we wanted to have that last hur-

rah before graduation.”Smothermon said he likes

the idea of kicking things off with a musical involv-ing many students. He was familiar with “Once Upon a Mattress” during his time as a drama teacher in Sheridan, Mont.

“It’s a takeoff of the fairy tale, ‘The Princess and the Pea,’ with a few twists,”

Smothermon said.“We have a domineering

queen. We have one couple that must marry and other couples who want to marry, and an overbearing queen who is standing in the way of all of them.”

MARKS PLAYS the role of the play’s central figure, Queen Aggravain, displaying tantrums at every turn. Also playing the queen is Melody Anthony.

“This show is wonderful for so many reasons,” said Smothermon, a former law-yer. “It gives our students lots of opportunities. It’s a very active, busy show. There are a lot of things going on, many different roles.”

“We’re able to have a huge cast. There are a lot of reasons why it works for us

right now.“Right now is the right

time and the right place to do this for our kids to get them excited about theater again and get them involved. It’s a great vehicle for them.”

McCoy said that the play suits the cast well.

“We wanted a show with a funny plot line, catchy music, and strong female leads,” McCoy said. “Most high schools have more girls than boys in a production so we chose one with more female leads.”

Others who play key roles in the musical include: Tyler O’Dell, who plays Prince Dauntless, Braden Robbins (Cardamom the Wizard), Michael Garon (Sir Harry), Patrick Punch (mute King Sextimus), Dejsha Lollar (Lady Larkin), Tiffany Andrukat (Minstrel), Cassidy Rydell (Jester) and Rhiannon Doney (Princess Perfection).

“WE HAVE this big stage, which is just a blast,” said Robbins, who’s also plays football at Oak Harbor. “We have this amazing cast, too. It’s exciting to be here every day.”

“I was really excited because this is actually my first speaking role in a play,” Doney said. “I really want to pursue singing and acting outside of high school so I really like it. It’s showing me

what rehearsals are going to be like. I really enjoy it. It’s definitely a really big part of my senior year.”

Such a production is typi-cally a year in the making, McCoy said, with many hands playing parts from the beginning.

“We knew we had to get lots of parents involved to make it happen and that means planning well in advance,” McCoy said. “Everything from reserv-ing the building to getting a crew has to happen nearly a year in advance.”

ONCE THE new school year began, planning picked up. Auditions were held last fall. The chorus started working on music and chore-ography in January. Finally, rehearsals for the actors began in late March.

“We started developing ideas at the beginning of this school year but after auditions, we started making costumes, designing sets and clarifying our vision,” McCoy said.

The school’s principal, Dwight Lundstrom, was among many helpers who assisted with set construc-tion. Many community mem-bers and businesses pitched in to help with the year-long project.

LUNDSTROM SAID he has watched many evolu-tions at the school in recent years with drama as one of the latest.

He said that drama took a backseat at the school after the previous drama director, Mary MacGowan, retired in

2008 and school construc-tion got underway. At one point during construction, the main stage in the old Parker Hall was used for sci-ence classes.

“It had a garage door,” Lundstrom said. “When we ran chemistry labs, we could open the door for ventilia-tion.”

With the addition of Smothermon, drama classes are now offered at the high school. He started teaching beginning and advanced classes this school year.

SMOTHERMON SAID he hopes to produce two plays next school year.

O’Dell, a senior who has performed in about a dozen plays at the Whidbey Playhouse, likes the ground-work that has been laid at the high school.

“It’s nice getting the ball rolling for upcoming years,” O’Dell said.

O’Dell arrived at school more than three hours before the play Thursday to help Marks with her makeup and hair.

“It’s like an oil spill in my hair,” she said of the hair spray.

MARKS SAID the timing for the play at the end of her senior year is perfect.

“Your senior year, there is so much stress,” she said. “I’ve got to apply for school. I need this credit for this time. When you start to get the makeup on, you can let go of all that.

“You go on stage, you get a chance to be a kid again. What more could you want?”

a muscular Indian man holding a salmon in each hand.

If everything goes as planned, the statue will be installed near the site of an Indian burial ground unearthed during the con-struction work on Pioneer Way.

Lewis said he strives for accuracy in his artwork. His idea was to depict a Native American fisherman the way he may have looked after catching fish 400 years ago in what is now Oak Harbor.

“They just went in the water and got salmon by hand.”

“There were so many of them,” he said.Lewis first created a metal skeleton and

affixed muscles before forming the clay skin. He originally depicted the well-muscled

Indian man wearing a loin cloth, but officials at the Swinomish tribe said they believed that was inaccurate.

“They felt it looked too much like a plains Indian,” he said.

Native Americans likely caught fish with-out clothes, but Lewis said a nude might not be appropriate for downtown Oak Harbor. So he settled on a more generic covering.

Lewis said he communicated with tribal

officials over the past couple of years and has a letter stating their approval of the sculpture.

The chairman of the Swinomish Tribal Community examined it at Lewis’ studio.

Lewis also received approval from the Arts Commission. Next step is to get per-mission from the City Council.

Lewis will send his clay sculpture to a foundry in Oregon, where it will be cast in bronze using the lost wax method.

Ron Van Dam of Concrete Nor’West offered to donate a concrete pedestal for the sculpture.

Lewis is currently working with Whidbey historian Peggy Darst Townsdin on a sculp-ture of her great-great-grandparents, Capt. Edward Barrington and his wife, Christina. He’s basing it on their wedding photo, which he has blown up on the wall of his studio.

Capt. Barrington built the first store and pier in Oak Harbor circa 1855, Darst Townsdin wrote in a 2010 article for the News-Times.

Lewis said he plans to give the sculpture of the Barringtons to the city and hopes it is installed near the site of their store, which once stood near Mi Pueblo restaurant.

Despite the congress-man’s press release, distrib-uted shortly before press time, news of the Navy’s announcement had not yet filtered down the channels to air station officials.

Mike Welding, base public information officer, said he could not comment on the details of what this will mean for the air station, Oak Harbor or Island County until official confirmation is received.

Base officials are, however, excited about the prospect.

“This is great for the base and the local Whidbey Island community,” said Capt. Christopher Phillips, acting base commander.

Base commander Capt. Mike Nortier is in Washington, D.C.

The news is not entirely unexpected as the Navy announced in November it was studying three possibili-ties for increasing the num-ber of Poseidons to be sta-tioned at Whidbey Island.

Larsen said that study is not yet complete, but the plan is make the base home to seven squadrons.The addi-tional aircraft will come from a canceled plan to base three fleet squadrons in Hawaii.

“The additional basing of P-8As makes Naval Air Station Whidbey Island the preeminent maritime patrol, electronic warfare and sur-veillance site in the Pacific,” Larsen said in his press release.

“The additional P-8As will bring hundreds of new mili-tary families and will create hundreds of local jobs in the next few years as the base constructs new facilities.”

The P-8A Poseidon is based on the 737-800 airframe and is Navy’s planned replace-ment for the aged turbo-prop P-3C Orions.

Larry Munns, a for-mer base commander and husband of Oak Harbor Councilwoman Beth Munns, said this is indeed big news for the both the base and the community.

“It’s tremendous,” he said.The Navy’s placement of

so many assets at the base are a clear statement about the strategic value and impor-tance of the base, he said.

Also, these are deployable planes, which means they won’t all be on Whidbey at the same time, but the families of the servicemen and women who fly and work on them

will be here year round.“It will mean more fami-

lies and more people (at the base and in the community),” Larry Munns said. “That’s good news for everybody.”

Kathy Reed, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, agrees that the additional squadrons and their fami-lies will have wide-ranging impacts on both the city and Island County.

“It’s going to have an impact on our schools, it’s going to have an impact on our businesses, on employ-ees and employers but it’s a good impact,” she said.

“These are good chal-lenges because it represents growth, at least that’s what I think.”

Larsen said the Navy also announced plans to acceler-ate future basing of destroy-ers at Naval Station Everett. Three frigates are being retired in the next few years and rescheduling of their replacements means there will be seamless transition.

The Navy confirmed it will keep the USS Nimitz homeported at Naval Station Everett through at least 2020.

The first two squadrons of P-8As arrive at NAS Whidbey in 2015. Another will follow in 2016, three more in 2017 and the last in 2018.
