Touch-and-gos canceled before scheduled rallyBy JANIS REIDStaff reporter

A rally protesting jet noise at Outlying Field Coupeville Friday was quieter than expected.

While the event was staged to occur during Field Carrier Landing Practice, or touch-and-gos, a last-minute schedule change eliminated their noisy backdrop.

More than 125 people with signs gath-ered along Highway 20 at the entrance to OLF, some coming from across the region.

“They’re not flying because we’re here even though, of course, they will say dif-

ferently,” said Michael Monson, president of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, the group that scheduled the event. “Our concern is for the health and well-being of the region’s inhabitants.”

The touch-and-gos were performed Wednesday instead of Friday, said Mike Welding, public information officer for

Oak Harbor merchants are exploring a new strategy to revitalize downtown.

Business owners are revisiting the idea of the national Main Street program designed to attract attention to a city’s historic downtown core.

The coordinator of the Washington State Main Street program, along with a Main Street representative from Ellensburg, made a presentation before City of Oak Harbor officials and members from Oak Harbor’s Downtown Merchants Association this past July.

The presentation was made at the request of Mayor Scott Dudley.

But no attempts to pursue the program were made.

That could change after a dialogue was resurrected recently between downtown merchants.

“We brought it up at the merchants’ meeting,” said Margaret Livermore, presi-dent of Garry Oak Gallery and former president of the city’s downtown mer-chants association.

“We want to start revisiting Main Street.”

Main Street is centered around promot-ing, preserving and embracing a city’s

Yuji Caballero, Dominic Dean, Miles Mumper, Paula Seaman, Chandler Gisvold and Hayden Neff each hold one of the Hillcrest chickens. These chickens, about five weeks old, are six of the thirteen Seaman purchased as a school-wide project.

An Oak Harbor elementary school is lucky enough to have fine-feathered royalty.

Miles Mumper, a fifth grader at Hillcrest, was appointed as the “chicken king” about a month ago, after Paula Seaman purchased 13

baby chicks for the school.Mumper was placed in charge of the chick-

ens from day one, according to Seaman, principal of Hillcrest.

“I get to take care of the chickens and choose people to come along,” Mumper said. “I tell people what to do for the chickens, and tell them, show them which is which and how

they behave.“When I come out every day, I check the

water and I check their feed.”Seaman said she purchased the chickens

with her own money after deciding to do something about the smaller of the school’s

Just a few days after Kelly Emerson resigned, a fifth candidate has come forward in hopes of replacing her on the Board of Island County Commissioners.

Camano Island resident Aubrey Vaughan, a Republican and member of the Island County Law and Justice Council, announced this week that he is throwing his hat in the metaphori-cal ring.

Though he decided to run months ago, he said he is entering the race during an exciting and potentially con-troversial time.

Next week is filing period for the general election.

With at least four other candidates running for the commissioner posi-tion, Vaughan will almost certainly face a primary election.

One of the candidates could take office much sooner. With Emerson quitting, the two remaining commis-sioners will get to choose a replace-ment from a list of three put forward by the Island County Republican party.

If the commissioners can’t agree on one of those candidates, the governor gets to decide.

Vaughan said he hopes to be a

strong advocate for Camano Island, which he feels is underrepresented in county government; his district also covers North Whidbey.

And he wants adequate funding for law enforcement.

Vaughan said he’s been active on the Law and Justice Council, even though it’s a 120-mile roundtrip for him.

“I’ve been very vocal on the coun-cil,” he said. “I ask the tough ques-tions.”

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, who co-chairs the council, said he is impressed with Vaughan.

“He’s a very thoughtful, insightful citizen who has volunteered to step up to the plate,” he said. “I think he’s done well in representing district 3.”

Vaughan said he was in favor of the proposed law-and-justice levy, though it never made it to the ballot; the com-missioners were able to backfill many of the cuts to the sheriff’s and other offices that were made during the recession.

He said he believes that the prop-erty-tax levy may still be necessary someday, though he hopes a stable funding source can be found without raising taxes. He said it’s important that the county is efficient as possible in delivering services and places a

high priority on ensuring that the county is an affordable place to live.

Vaughan said he and his wife, Ellen, moved to Washington state to be closer to their son, who worked at Microsoft. They drove from Corpus Christi, where he worked as a super-visor for L-3 Aerospace at the Army Depot, in a fifth wheel with five cats and a parrot.

After scouring the Puget Sound region, they fell in love with Camano Island and bought a house there three years ago.

At age 65, Vaughan has had a long and varied career. He was a “criminal investigator and peace officer” for the Nueces County Sheriff Office and the Texas Attorney General’s Office, he said.

He worked for Halliburton in the oilfield services and eventually retired.

Island County’s two new department directors come to their jobs with broad experi-ence and a love for the island.

County commissioners approved the two employ-ment contracts during Monday’s regular meeting.

Larry Van Horn started Tuesday as the county’s new facilities director.

Having summered on South Whidbey as a boy, Van Horn said he’s looking for-ward to island living.

“I have always admired the way of life and the feeling of community, which Whidbey and Camano offer,” Van Horn said. “I am excited to now be a member of the Island County government team.”

Van Horn worked as facili-ties manager for Snohomish County for 17 years and then moved onto a position as a spe-cial assistant to the Lynnwood mayor. In that role, he restruc-tured the facilities and capital programs and budgets.

Van Horn said he plans to hit the ground running.

“I have been asked to begin making assessments of the county’s inventory of facili-ties,” Van Horn said. “This is likely to take a few months and eventually lead to discus-sions about best practices for the county.”

John Kent, who hails from the Seattle Art Museum, will serve as the county’s infor-mation technology director with a May 12 start date.

“I have been an IT profes-sional throughout my entire business career, beginning as a programmer and working up through the ranks to com-puter operations manager and IT director,” Kent said.

Kent said he has an exten-sive background in strategic planning, including budget-ing for organizational-wide technology needs.

Kent said his depth of skills “will be valuable as Island County continues to look for ways to use technology to provide information and ser-vices to our community.”

Kent, who has been with the Seattle Art Museum for 10 years, lives with his wife on Sandy Hook.

Cancellation of this past Friday’s touch-and-go practices at Outlying Field Coupeville was the result of a “tactical pause” ordered Navy wide after a crash off the coast of Texas.

All Navy aircraft were

grounded for a few hours after a T-34C crashed into the Gulf of Mexico Thursday.

Though the pilots were unharmed, the accident marked the Navy’s eighth Class A Mishap to occur since January and the third in the previous 18 days, Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, spokesman

for Naval Air Forces, said.Vice Adm. David Buss,

head of Naval Air Forces, issued a message Thursday grounding all planes and squadrons except those deployed or underway.

Though commanders were given latitude as to the length of the pause, most

flights were expected to stay grounded for at least a few hours, Stephens said.

At Ault Field on North Whidbey, each individual squadron paused opera-tions and conducted a safe-ty stand down, after which they resumed air operations, according Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding.

During the pause, squad-rons were expected to review incident reports and other relevant information to ensure that all safety mea-sures are being followed.

“Given the trend, we want to make sure we’re not mak-ing the same mistakes that we have in the past and miti-gating further accidents,” Stephens said.

There were 10 total mishaps since this fiscal year began Oct. 1, Stephens said. Another example of a Class A Mishap involved a NAS Whidbey-based EA-6B Prowler that crashed in Eastern Washington in March 2012.

The state Department of Ecology levied a $301,000 fine against the man whose crab boat caught fire and sank in Penn Cove in 2012, causing an oil spill that temporarily shut down nearby Penn Cove Shellfish.

It’s just the latest bad news for Rory Westmoreland, a 51-year-old scrap-metal dealer with a history of running afoul of environmental rules, according to the Department of Ecology.

Westmoreland is facing a misde-meanor charge in Island County District Court for allegedly abandoning the 128-foot Deep Sea crab boat.

Friday, he pleaded not guilty in King County Superior Court to charges by the Attorney General’s Office that he abandoned about 40 barrels of hazard-ous waste in a property from which he was evicted in 2012, the Attorney General’s Office reported.

The state charged Rory Westmoreland with one count of violating the hazard-ous waste management act, a felony, and another gross-misdemeanor count of unlawful dumping of solid waste with-out a permit.

Dick Walker, a member of the spills response team, characterized the $301,000 fine as “very large for the Department of Ecology.” He said Westmoreland was fined for three rea-sons: for failing to report an oil spill, for failing to clean up an oil spill and for the oil spill itself.

The fire response, oil spill response and the salvage of the boat from the floor of Penn Cove was performed by a team of public agencies, as well as the Coast Guard. State agencies, including the Department of Ecology and the Department of Natural Resources, spent more than $2.8 million on the incident.

Walker said the Department of Ecology recovered $1.56 million in spill response expenses from the National Pollution Fund Center; he said the fed-eral government is going to go after Westmoreland to recoup the money.

On the night of May 12, 2012, the Deep Sea caught fire — in what was later

determined to be arson — while illegally anchored on state-owned aquatic lands, according to the Department of Ecology. Westmoreland had the boat towed to Penn Cove in December of 2011; Walker said Westmoreland wouldn’t say what his plans were for the boat, though offi-cials suspect that he planned to scrap it.

Firefighters attacked the fire that night and the next day, but it rolled on its port side and sank in the evening of May 13.

Approximately 5,555 gallons of oil were released, according to the Department of Ecology.

Diving contractors hired by the U.S. Coast Guard removed 3,100 gallons of oil from the sunken vessel.

The boat was raised and towed to King County, where it was eventually cut up into scrap metal.

Westmoreland is scheduled to go to trial in Island County District Court Sept. 11 on the derelict vessel charge.

Invocations can continue to evoke name of Jesus ChristBy JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Oak Harbor City Council’s prayer policy is OK with the United States Supreme Court.

Probably.Interim City Attorney

Grant Weed said the High Court’s 5-4 decision this past week in a New York state city council prayer case appears to affirm the constitutionality of Oak Harbor’s revised policy.

Weed said he is planning to study the ruling to make sure.

“I’m pretty confident that what Oak Harbor has done is just fine,” he said.

In an opinion published this week, the Supreme Court ruled that city coun-cils can begin their hear-ings with prayers, even if they’re offered almost entirely by Christians and may offend some listeners.

“As a practice that has long endured, legislative prayer has become part of our heritage and tradi-tion, part of our expres-sive idiom, similar to the Pledge of Allegiance, inau-gural prayer or recitation of ‘God save the United States and this honorable court,’ at the opening of this court’s sessions,” Justice Anthony Kennedy

wrote in the majority opin-ion.

An invocation at the start of Oak Harbor coun-cil meetings became a political issue last year after Weed proposed a for-mal policy stating that the prayers should be nonde-nominational, not invoke a particular faith and not to mention a deity.

Members of the city’s religious community pro-tested and pointed out that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in the case Rubin v. City of Lancaster allowed a public prayer that invoked Jesus Christ.

Weed admitted that the proposed policy was dated and refined it based on the public comments.

The council ultimately approved a policy that rotates the invocation among pastors or others in the community, but doesn’t place any restrictions upon what can be said.

In February, an atheist gave the invocation at the start of the council meet-ing.

Robert Ray, president of the Humanist of North Puget Sound, delivered a speech that Councilman Jim Campbell described as “an inspirational chat” that didn’t touch on atheism.

Campbell has been the go-to guy for invocations when a pastor can’t make it to the council meeting.

The message from the Supreme Court, Campbell said, is that “you can pray the way you were taught.”

Supreme Court OKs meeting prayer policy

The fate of a 4.5-acre Bayview property pur-chased years ago by Whidbey General Hospital for $2 million may be decided at a meeting in Coupeville next week.

Surplus property to sell is listed among the agenda items at the board’s regu-larly scheduled monthly meeting at 7 a.m. Monday, May 12, in the hospi-tal’s conference room A. Resolution 347 is to be pre-sented by Hank Hanigan, the hospital’s chief opera-tions officer.

Attempts to reach Hanigan Friday for details about the agenda item before deadline were unsuc-cessful Friday morning.

In 2008, the hospital bought the property from Verlane Gabelein for $2 mil-

lion. A private appraisal was never conducted, but the Island County Assessor’s Office tallied the value of the property at the time at $618,000.

The plan for the proper-ty, located across Highway 525 from The Goose Community Grocer, was to build a new South Whidbey Clinic. Those plans have since soured and the hospi-tal was considering selling the property.

A discussion last month resulted in the board agree-ing to talk about the issue again this month. If the board agrees to sell the property, state law requires that it have three indepen-dent appraisals conducted.

The assessor’s office list-ed the value of the undevel-oped lot at $595,890 in 2013.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOROak Harbor

There are several ways to revitalize downtownEditor,

Sure, it is up to the individual shop owners and the real estate owners to maximize their potential, but I think our Oak Harbor city leadership is responsible for an aggressive plan to help stimulate the business environ-ment in their downtown and put feet on the street.

Here are four elements of a poten-tial plan to put feet on the street. Certainly there are scores more ideas.

1. Get the PBY Museum up and running downtown and get the PBY plane moved down off the base as well.

This can serve as an excellent attrac-tion getting feet on the street down-town. Good job to Will Shellenberger at the PBY for getting this going and to Island Thrift for its support.

2. Build a transient boating dock in the vicinity of Flintstone Park, where there used to be a dock. This has been advocated by Helen Chatfield-Weeks

for years. Allowing visiting boaters to dock

downtown to eat and shop or allowing the Victoria Clipper or a whale watch-ing boat to dock downtown would help put feet on the street.

3. Build a multi-use apartment/condo/hotel facility in the vacant property where the carnival is usually held, bounded by Bayshore, Pioneer and Midway. Put feet on the street by putting heads on pillows in downtown. There is an individual in town who has the schematics for such a plan and is ready to review it with the city.

4. Lastly for today, implement Ron Hancock’s years-old plan for a Walk of Honor. Oak Harbor is a Navy Town and a military town. We should embrace this and stand proud.

This project is icing on the cake and will become an essential part of our identity and critical to our attrac-tiveness.

Certainly there should be addition-al elements to a plan, like why are we a waterfront town with essentially no businesses taking advantage of the waterfront, not even a good water-front seafood restaurant.

A well thought-out downtown stim-

ulus plan should be crafted, vetted and acted upon this year. What are we waiting for — more businesses to go out of business?

I expect Bob Severns, Beth Munns and the rest of the council to lead us forward on this.

George SaulOak Harbor Commissioners

Emerson resignation is best thing for countyEditor,

In my youth whenever a disgraced politician left office, my mother’s com-ment was “good riddance to bad rub-bish.”

This comment can apply to our recently departed Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson. She is by far the worst commissioner we have had in the nearly 40 years I’ve lived here.

To those who voted her in with such political fervor, remember her poor performance the next time you vote.

Once again, you may just get what you asked for.

Nancy BaileyCoupeville

Just when it seemed Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson was out of surprises, she delivered another shock-er this past week.

Following a heated discussion with fellow commission-ers at their regular meeting, Emerson announced with all the drama for which she has come to be known that she is resigning.

The Tea Party Republican — the same commissioner who sued Island County, refused to pay thousands of dol-lars in fines for building violations, was stripped of her chairwoman title by her colleagues for defying board con-sensus and who had questionable attendance for months — doesn’t like the way the other kids play, so is picking up her ball and going home.

She’s packing up her things and leaving seven months before the job is done.

To this we say, good luck in your future endeavors, Mrs. Emerson, and thank you for your … service.

However, Kelly, fear not for the constituents you leave behind. They will be fine, for there are many who would gratefully and humbly don the District No. 3 hat in service to the greater Island County community.

On that note, the task now falls upon commissioners Helen Price Johnson, a District No. 1 Democrat, and Jill Johnson, a District No. 2 Republican, to fill the vacancy until voters can make their choice known this November in the general election.

It’s a big job, to be sure, but one that was performed just a few years under a similar political makeup when longtime South Whidbey Republican commissioner Mike Shelton resigned to accept a job in Olympia.

The result of that decision saw the appointment of Phil Bakke, the county’s then planning chief.

While he lost his bid in the following election to Price Johnson, the process of selecting Bakke was conducted in a bipartisan way by two commissioners of very different poli-tics — then-commissioners Mac McDowell, an Oak Harbor Republican, and John Dean, a Camano Island Democrat.

Though the voters saw fit to select a different representa-tive, the process revealed that commissioners of different politics can work together in way that best serves the county.

We hope the selection process that lies ahead will be equally smooth and serve as yet another example of how good leaders who don’t always see eye to eye can work together toward a common goal.

Those interested in filling the position being vacated by Emerson may contact the Island County Republican Party via its website at www.islandcountygop.com

As Emerson was elected as a Republican, state law allows the party to come up with a list of three finalists from which the remaining commissioners can choose.

troop transfer and movement of Prisoners of War through-out the Pacific.

In 1946, the Catron report-ed to Pearl Harbor, where she was stripped and became part of “Operation Crossroads,” a planned series of atomic tests at Bikini Atoll.

Harry joined the crew of the Catron as they returned to the states aboard a flat-bottomed LST, a trip that had to be grueling.

Leaving military service in 1948, Harry returned to Colorado and received his GED. He worked at Sears & Roebuck for a time.

Hearing about the GI Bill, Harry toyed with the possibility of taking college classes by mail, but decided to attend Michigan State College. He received his bachelor’s degree and his teaching certificate as a math teacher. While attending col-lege, Harry met a young lady, Caroline, who was to become his bride.

Harry taught in Michigan for a time, but soon returned to Colorado, where he taught at Smiley Junior High School in Denver. He and Caroline purchased a small farm out-side Ft. Lupton and he drove to Denver each day to teach. Harry received his masters in psychology and finished his 40-year teaching career in counseling at East High School.

Harry was known for his imaginative teaching style, engaging students through his examples of time travel, mind games, physics prob-lem solving, song and poetry and mastery of the German language.

Years later, he was recog-nized through a resolution of the Denver School Board for his outstanding contribution

to the students of the Denver School District.

Caroline was bothered by the dry climate of Denver, so she and Harry moved to Whidbey Island. He and Caroline enjoyed many years of traveling the U.S.

Caroline died in February 2000. Harry married Phyllis Rollag in 2001 and they enjoyed 13 years together, traveling to many parts of the world. Health issues brought their travels to an end and, for the past year, Harry and Phyllis have been residents of Regency.

Harry is survived by his wife, Phyllis; stepdaughter, Candace Rollag and hus-band, David Amarelo, and their children, Katherine and Jonathan (Mary); and Phyllis’ son-in-law, John Royce, and his sons, Nicholas, Christopher and Patrick; and by two nieces, Susan Urbytes and Sandra Palmreuter.

He was preceded in death by two brothers and his par-ents.

Harry was a member of Oak Harbor Lutheran Church.

Memorial services for Harry Achziger were held at the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church on Friday, May 9, 2014, with Pastor Jeff Spencer officiating.

OBITUARIES

Achziger

Harry Achziger

Harry Achziger was called home to the Lord on May 1, 2014. He died suddenly at Skagit Valley Hospital in Mt. Vernon at the age of 89.

Harry Norman Achziger was born May 14, 1924 in Firestone, Colo.

His father, Jacob, was born in Michigan and his mother, Kathryn, came from Russia. Her family immigrated to the United States in 1902 and settled in Michigan.

Harry’s German ances-tors were drawn to Russia by Catharine the Great, with the offer of free land and freedom, which was short-lived. Many of the Achziger families found new hope in Colorado.

At the age of 18, Harry Achziger enlisted in the U.S. Navy in Los Angeles, Calif., and was assigned to the U.S.S. Catron for the next two years. The Catron was an attack transport ship launched in 1944. After a period of training in the Solomon Islands, she was sent to the Carolina Islands to load troops for the attack on Okinawa, the last major campaign of the Pacific War. The Catron was involved in

Pete graduated the eighth grade and worked along with his brothers and sisters to help support he family.

In January 1942, Pete joined the Army and went to Camp Grant, Ill., and then to California to an anti-aircraft battalion. He was in the med-ics and later reassigned to the Engineers Corps.

In 1965, Pete received his general contractor’s license and began his own business building new homes. They lived in the “Suda House” on Lassen Street in Richmond, Calif. It was a great house, which Pete remodeled to accommodate the large fam-ily.

In 1968, after their son Stephen graduated, they sold the “Suda House” and moved to Oak Harbor, Wash. Pete built a new home for his family and continued to build homes for clients all over the island.

Pete and Garnet moved to Balda Road on five acres of land and had many more wonderful years there.

When Pete retired, he and Garnet left the island and moved to Arizona into a gated senior park, made new friends and enjoyed the fun and sun for 15 years. They loved to golf, swim and enter-tain. It was a wonderful time for them.

When health issues arose, they returned to Oak Harbor to be near their daughters and grandchildren. They lived in a cottage on Whidbey Avenue and later moved to Summerhill Retirement Community.

GAME OF THE WEEK The Whidbey Golf Club hosts the girls Wesco golf tournament at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 13.SPORTS

WHIDBEY

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Coupeville High School tasted both victory and defeat in the first round of postsea-son play this week.

The Wolves’ baseball team ripped host Meridian 6-1 Tuesday, but the Coupeville soccer team fell 3-0 at Mount Baker Wednesday and was eliminated from district play.

Baseball team trips up Trojans

The Wolves’ semifinal matchup with No. 1 seed Lynden Christian (8-13) was rained out Thursday and rescheduled for Friday. Results were not available at press time.

Weather permitting, the tournament continues today (Saturday) at the Blaine Athletic Complex and Meridian High School. Where and when Coupeville (11-9) plays depends on the outcome of yesterday’s con-test.

The Wolves need to win one more game in the eight-team, double-elimination tournament to qualify for tri-district.

In other first-round action, Friday Harbor defeated Nooksack Valley 7-3, South

Whidbey blanked Blaine 10-0 and Lynden Christian beat Mount Baker 3-2

In Coupeville’s win over fourth-seeded Meridian, Ben

Etzell fired a three-hitter and struck out nine, and he aided his own cause by picking off a runner, hitting a single and driving in two runs.

“He really had them baf-fled, mixing his fastball and off-speed stuff effectively,” coach Willie Smith said.

Etzell picked up offensive

help from Aaron Trumbull (3-for-4, RBI), Jake Tumblin (2-for-4, double, two runs), Wade Schaef (2-for-3, double, two runs) and Kurtis Smith (double, run).

Coupeville, the No. 5 seed, started quickly with a run in the first. Kurtis Smith doubled and scored on Trumbull’s base hit.

In the third, Schaef reached on an error and Tumblin beat out a bunt for a base hit, putting run-ners at the corners. On a double steal, Schaef scored and Tumblin went to second. Kurtis Smith moved Tumblin to third, and Etzell drove him home with a sacrifice fly.

Meridian (8-12) scored in the sixth to make it 3-1, then Coupeville put the game away with three runs in the seventh.

With one out, Schaef smacked a double and Tumblin followed with his own, driving the ball to the 355-foot mark of the wall.

Kurtis Smith reached on a fielder’s choice when Meridian failed to get lead-runner Tumblin, who hur-ried back to second on the throw to third.

Etzell singled in Tumblin, and Trumbull blooped a base hit to load the bases. Josh Bayne’s sacrifice fly finished

the scoring.The Wolves sealed the win

with a nice backhand play by C.J. Smith and a strikeout by Etzell in the seventh.

“A great team win and huge win for us,” coach Smith said. “Great defense, pitching and offense all around.”

CHS soccer team loses to No. 1 seed

Top-seeded Mount Baker used its collective heads to drop the Wolves.

Manuel Mendez, Alex Tyska and Jesus Torerro scored for the Mountaineers – all off headers.

Mount Baker scored early in each half. Mendez hit the back of the net 11 minutes into the match, and Tyska scored nine minutes after the break. Torerro finished the scoring in the 56th minute.

The Mountaineers (6-10-1) outshot Coupeville 25-6, and Coupeville keeper Joel Walstad made 11 saves.

“The boys gave a good effort,” coach Kyle Nelson said. “They (Mount Baker)were a tough opponent, play-ing a physical game.”

Coupeville finished the season with a 5-10-2 record, 4-9-1 in Cascade Conference play.

Coupeville’s Jake Tumblin has been red-hot at the plate recently. The trend continued in the open-ing round of the playoffs Tuesday when he collected two hits, one a double, in the Wolves’ win.

For the third race in a row, Makana Stone bettered her Coupeville High School 400-meter record, this time at the eight-team Cascade Conference Track Championships at King’s in North Seattle Thursday, May 8.

Though Stone lowered the mark by a tenth of a second to 59.65, she fin-ished second to King’s Anna Parker (58.86).

Stone also placed third in the 200 in a season-best 27.12 to earn the best two places by Coupeville athletes at the meet.

In team scoring, the Wolves fin-ished seventh among the girls with 27 points and eighth among the boys with 11.

King’s took the girls team title with 208 points; Lakewood was the boys champion with 225.5.

The Coupeville girls recorded seven other top-10 finishes: third, 3x200 relay (Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt, Stone, Marisa Etzell), 1:51.36; fifth, 4x100 relay (Grove, Ashlyn Miller, Hurlburt, Etzell),

54.24; seventh, Etzell, 400, 1:05.27; eighth, Hurlburt, 100, 13.76; 10th, Etzell, 100, 13.93; 10th, Hurlburt, 200, 28.34; and 10th, Heni Barnes, discus, 83-02.

The Coupeville boys finished in the top 10 seven times: fifth, 4x100 relay (Sebastian Davis, Jared Helmstadter, Lathom Kelley, Brandon Kelley), 47.21; sixth, 4x400 relay (Stephen Edwards, Lathom Kelley, Helmstadter, Davis), 4:03.36; seventh, Dalton Martin, discus, 117-06; eighth, Helmstadter, 400, 56.14; eighth, Brandon Kelley, 300 hurdles, 45.22; ninth, Ryan Griggs, high jump, 5-04; 10th, Griggs, triple jump, 36-02.75.

The Wolves take part in the sub-dis-trict track meet next week at Lynden Christian. At 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 14, preliminaries in most events and finals in four (girls 3,200, boys 1,600, girls triple jump and boys long jump) will be held.

The finals in the other events begin at 5 p.m. Friday, May 16.

two courtyards.The larger one is used for a grant-funded

project, growing vegetables, which the school will donate to the Help House.

The smaller courtyard was previously messy most of the time, so Seaman decided that a good way to keep it nicer was to get chickens.

And it turned out to be a teachable exer-cise.

Before the chicks moved into their new coop in the courtyard, though, they were traveled from classroom to classroom, start-ing with Tristy Nielsen’s second-grade class.

Nielson incorporated the chickens into her class lessons, especially for writing assign-ments. Her students also recorded videos with their iPads of the chickens to share at the parent teacher conferences.

“I only had really positive things from par-ents,” she said. “They were like, wow, this is so great that the kids are getting to do this in schools.”

The chicks stayed in Nielson’s classroom for a week. On the Friday they were to be moved to another class, Nielson said one of her students said it was the saddest day ever.

Another second-grade class and three first -grade classes “hosted” the baby chickens before they were moved outside. Meghan Trueman’s first-grade class was another tem-porary home for them.

Her students were learning expository writing at the time, and Trueman had her students write about the chickens.

“That was a lot of fun for the kids, to have first-hand experiences,” Trueman said. “Not

just taking information from books and then writing on it, but actually being able to watch them.”

Instead of being a distraction in class, the chickens, according to Nielson, proved to be incentive for students to finish their work more quickly; when they were done, they were allowed to go watch the chickens.

Now that the chickens are outside in the courtyard, students still visit them everyday.

“Parent volunteers will come and bring groups of like, seven or eight,” Seaman said. “The kids want to see them change, because they grow so fast.”

No one expects the novelty of the chickens to wear off when the five-week-old chicks are fully grown.

“They’re still an unordinary thing to see at a school,” Mumper said. “And school has had them ever since they were a week old.”

Seaman said that the students all know which chicken is which, and they know the personalities of each. Mumper even named them based on their traits and personalities.

Rosie, Mumper’s favorite, was named because of the reddish color of her beak. Flappy is the one that likes to flap its wings a lot. Runner, the “in-building chicken,” accord-ing to Seaman, was named because he runs back and forth between the classrooms, and doesn’t like to fly as much.

Seaman has no regrets about bringing the chickens to the school.

“It’s definitely a commitment, but it’s a good move. Boost a little bit of morale, get kids excited about something,” she said.”

Mumper and fellow fifth-grader Dominic Dean both agreed that the chickens helped students stay out of trouble, since they aren’t allowed to visit the chickens otherwise.

Hayden Neff, Miles’ second-in-command chicken wrangler, said that the birds have done a lot for Hillcrest.

“One of the main things is they’ve helped other people realize that there’s more things to do,” Neff said. “It helps people become more interactive with other people, less self-ish.”

Former Hillcrest teacher Mary Heck has been visiting the school a lot lately because of the chickens.

“I love it,” Heck said. “It’s just been fantas-tic, it really has. And this school was already a happy school; all you’ve done is just ratch it up higher.”

But the best benefit, according to Seaman,

is how much it helps students learn.“It’s not always about books,” she said. “It’s

about giving kids every experience possible. And just watching those fifth-grade boys sit there and hold a chick and pet it, and just the empathy and the compassion that comes out in the kids, it’s amazing.”

The plan, according to Seaman, is to keep chickens around the school for a very long time, and keep them the happiest, “most spoiled chickens in Island County.

“They are Hillcrest, this is Hillcrest, they are part of Hillcrest.”

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY

By CELESTE ERICKSONSouth Whidbey Record

When it comes to motherhood, Eileen Wilson and Alta Brodie of Freeland consider themselves grateful to have been blessed

with loving children and families. At 102, both now have three generations

under them and have witnessed the lasting impact of a mother’s love on her children.

Passing on the musical notesWilson had her first child, Pat, in 1940

after waiting seven years with her husband Edgar. They were living in Oak Harbor at the time while Edgar worked as a mechanic on the base. Wilson remembers her husband wanted a girl and was delighted to find out Pat’s gender.

Wilson remembers chuckling at her hus-band’s wish and telling him, “You want a girl? It’s just like reaching in a grab bag – you take what you get.”

An only child, Wilson found herself passing on her love to another only child, and Pat was a happy baby, she recalled.

Later, Wilson took in a foster daughter, Delores, who had raised herself until the age of 12 in a bad home, Wilson said.

“It wasn’t always easy, but I had a good caseworker and she helped me out,” Wilson recalled.

Both daughters are now retired and have children of their own. Wilson has two grand-sons and six great-grandsons.

Wilson was a church pianist for 20 years, often accompanying people and teaching her own lessons. She tried to pass on that knowledge to

Pat at a young age, but the interest wasn’t there. “I didn’t want to force her,” Wilson said. When she reached high school age, Pat

wanted to play the trumpet and started taking private lessons to play in the school band.

Unsure how long her daughter would con-tinue her lessons, Wilson made sure the trumpet she bought was affordable. But Pat stuck with it and she didn’t have to push her daughter to practice.

Pat continued to play the trumpet for a number of years. Pat’s sons and, later, grand-sons – Wilson’s great-grandsons – played the same trumpet as well.

“That trumpet earned its money,” Wilson remarked.

She’s watched her daughter Pat Rothwell raise her own children and every once in a while sees traits of herself and Edgar in her.

“She’s stubborn just like her father and mother,” Wilson said. “But she’s a very good daughter.”

Wilson has enjoyed becoming a grand-mother and great-grandmother, saying “The boys are very good to me.”

She also feels fortunate to have great chil-dren who have stayed out of trouble.

“All you can do is talk to them and guide them. That’s about all,” Wilson said.

“They can take your advice or not.”

Teaching lifelong skillsBrodie had five children of her own with

her husband Alexander. Brodie was born in Everett and spent most of her life living in Marysville before moving to Freeland ear-lier this year. Her middle daughter, Marilyn Lueken, who lived on the island for 14 years, describes her mother as active while she was

growing up. Brodie led a 4-H group, gar-dened, canned and frequently participated in neighborhood activities.

“She was a hands-on mother,” Lueken said.

One distinct memory Lueken shares is of working in the family garden.

“We needed them to garden and they needed to work,” Brodie said of her chil-dren.

Brodie taught all of her children now to garden, a skill they still use today.

“None of us appreciated gardening at the time, but all of us children have had a gar-den as adults,” Lueken said.

“It’s a lasting skill.”Lueken said she hopes to teach her son

Daniel, 5, how to garden. Brodie said she still likes the time outside and is proud to see her children carry on the gardening tradition.

Brodie has 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren and enjoys frequent guests at her home in Maple Ridge. It’s a testament to her own emphasis of spending time with her family. Brodie and Alexander spent many vacations camping with their family around the state’s beaches.

“I wanted to do things together,” she said. Lueken remembered one trip in particu-

lar where Brodie took her entire 4-H group for a day trip to Seattle. The family only had a truck for transportation, so they built walls and a roof to surround the bed of the truck and had all the kids sit in the back.

“We all piled into the truck,” Lueken remembers. “What an adventure.”

Both Lueken and Brodie had a hard time remembering exactly what activities took place, but that didn’t bother Brodie.

“We had a good time and that’s what’s important,” she said.

Lueken still visits her mother on a daily basis with her son Daniel, carrying out one of the most important lessons she remembers from Brodie — to love each other.

A mother’s loveWomen know impact love has on childrens’ lives

It’s nearly Mother’s Day and I’m enjoying two streams of thought this year. The first involves the three mothers God gave me and who remain endearing women in my life.

Each time I look into my kitchen, I think of my mother. She was young and feisty at the time of my birth and has brought such delight to our lives as she has maneuvered in the kitchen over the years. She collected cookbooks, read them cover to cover, fixed perfectly prepared meals and carefully documented her experiences directly on the recipes themselves. Her precision and creative menu planning somehow rubbed off on me and it’s a con-nection we enjoy to this day...along with our cooking gadgets.

A look into my sewing room or out-side my home office window prompts thoughts of my mother-in-law. She intro-duced me to the healing power and utter beauty of quilts. She also taught me how to grow roses, and I often wonder what my world would be like without some-thing warm and beautiful to wrap up in. Or scented blossoms to grow and enjoy each spring and summer here on the island.

When I look at my car or cell phone, I think of my stepmom. She is devoted to keeping in consistent contact with her family members.

This includes regular phone calls, texts and trips to celebrate activities or birth-days. By her example, I am encouraged to reach out to those I love and remind them regularly how important they are to me.

I’m also thinking of military mothers this year as I take care of the life my husband and I have built while his work as a civilian Navy biologist takes him to bases in Europe and Africa for extended amounts of time.

I’ve learned that it’s rather satisfying to stop delegating certain tasks and simply take care of business by doing things your own way. I’ve learned that starting lawnmowers is much easier when a car-ing friend brings you one that works well each time. And I’ve learned that people with skills you may not possess are genu-inely happy to help you. You must learn how to ask.

While I join the ranks of those miss-ing their husbands this Mother’s Day, pure gratitude reminds me that I have three mothers and four kids to fill my heart with love and my life with adven-ture. I am truly thankful to Patsy, Rose Ann, Suzanne, Megan, Katie, Daniel and Alyssa. You fill my life.

A bridge worker said he drove over the bridge a day earlier, not wanting to take a ferry.

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

This is the first time this year that the Navy has changed the touch-and-go schedule without notifying the public in advance.

COER members have been repeating a story about a T-ball game in Rhododendron Park that was disrupted by the unscheduled flights Wednesday evening.

Monson and other COER members said that some of the children became very upset at the noise.

“What they did last Wednesday was unconscio-nable,” Monson said.

“That’s why these peo-ple are here.”

The Navy has been tran-sitioning over that year from EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler, an elec-tronic attack aircraft many claim is louder.

The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve filed a lawsuit last year demanding an Environmental Impact Statement on the Growlers, which the Navy started shortly after the lawsuit.

A draft EIS document is expected to be ready

for the public to review in 2015.

Susie Mareau, one of more than a dozen pro-testers from Lopez Island, said loud and low-flying Growlers in their area is a growing problem.

“When the Growlers are flying they have to stop teaching and some of the kids start to cry because it scares them,” claimed Mareau who said she works in a Lopez Island school.

Jeanine Cardiff said she came to the rally from Port Angeles because the Growlers are problem-atic on occasion and she doesn’t want the issue to spread throughout the region.

“I don’t want what they have to deal with to spread to the rest of the area,” Cardiff said. “I need to stand up now so I’m not standing up later.”

J.C. Maren said he has lived on the Whidbey Island for 35 years and didn’t have any issue with the military noise until now.

Maren said he believes there is a marked dif-ference in noise levels

between the Growler and its predecessor, the Prowler.

“The important thing is it’s not about the military, I support the military,” Maren said. “It’s about

noise pollution and devalu-ation of our properties and quality of life.

All we’re asking is that they take the noise to a more appropriate loca-tion.”

historic downtown.It is designed to bring

merchants together with the common goal of serving the greater business environ-ment, and offers training, tax credit incentives and other benefits depending on a group’s degree of involve-ment.

Nearly 100 communities in Washington participate in the Main Street program at some level, including Coupeville and Langley.

“I try to tell people it’s a comprehensive econom-ic development program that is rooted in historic preservation,” said Sarah Hansen, coordinator of the state Main Street program. “Really, what it’s meant to do is to help communities rec-ognize and then maximize their assets.”

Main Street offers three tiers of involvement with most of its members par-ticipating at the affiliate level, giving them access to resources and networking opportunities and requiring minimal paperwork.

The other two tiers offer tax credit incentives and require setting up a non-profit association dedicated solely to downtown revital-ization.

Thirteen communities in Washington, including Port Townsend and Mount Vernon, participate in the top tier and are nationally certified programs.

Langley and Coupeville are classified as tier two.

Port Townsend is the state’s longest running Main Street program, Hansen said. Its success in being marketed as a destination attraction didn’t happen overnight.

“Main Street is a long-term investment,” Hansen said. “It’s a journey.”

Main Street provides a blueprint for communities to follow, Hansen said.

One design is to pool resources into a joint mar-keting effort.

An example might be raising the money to create signs that points visitors to historic downtown.

Tax credit incentives allow businesses to get back 75 percent of their invest-ment into such donations into their Main Street pro-gram.

“I’m an unabashed sup-porter of the approach,” said Larry Cort, Oak Harbor’s city administrator who’s also held positions in Coupeville and Langley. “Cities can have success downtown without the Main Street pro-gram but if you have it, I

think it tends to be more comprehensive in its suc-cess.”

“It really builds a strong sense of common purpose.

“If you look at the most successful downtowns in Washington state, it’s usu-ally a Main Street commu-nity. I’m talking about Port Townsend, Ellensburg, Mount Vernon and Walla Walla.”

Cort said the Main Street organizational structure is one of its most outstanding features. It allows for the ability to assign a committee to tackle specific projects.

He also said that some cit-ies have several Main Street associations, pointing to Boston having 17.

The Midway Boulevard business district in Oak Harbor, as an example, could set up its own Main Street community, he said.

Livermore said Oak Harbor needs to work together to become a desti-nation point for visitors.

“We have a beautiful mari-na and wonderful parks,” Livermore said. “We have businesses downtown in a historic part of town. We have beautiful oak groves.

“We’re a pass-through town, not a stop town.

“They don’t think there’s anything to do here,” Livermore said. “We’re ter-rible at marketing that.”
