Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, outlined base growth projections Monday with the Oak Harbor School Board.

Nortier reported on the expected population increase at NAS Whidbey over the next several years.

Because the Navy’s P-8s, which are modified Boeing 737s, are replacing the prop-engine P-3, addi-tional personnel will be moving to NAS Whidbey during the next few years. Three squadrons will be moving to NAS Whidbey, one per year, starting in fiscal year

Board hears base growth projections

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

Many in the community expressed outrage this week that the landmark Garry oak tree at the Oak Harbor Post Office was sawed down Sunday morning without prior public notification.

The tree was determined to be 330 years old, based on the number of rings counted.

Some people, including a former council member and a state expert on open government, question the secret way in which the city adminis-trator chose to axe the beloved tree, and whether the issue was properly discussed with City Council behind closed doors.

“I’m in shock,” said Sheilah Crider, former councilwoman and current Island County auditor.

“They did it in the stealth of the night. It is very regrettable.”

Crider, who emphasized that she was speaking as a private citizen, was involved as a councilwoman in saving

the giant oak tree in 2004 after city officials planned to cut it down over safety concerns because of a fungal infection; an expert in Garry oak trees was brought in who advised that the tree could be saved.

Melissa Duffy, a naturalist educator, said she is “deeply saddened.”

Duffy helped lead the effort to save the tree a decade ago; she contacted experts in Garry oaks who said the tree had at least a 100 years left of life.

Duffy planted the gardens surrounding the tree and used to coordinate the volunteers who care for it; she said none of the people who loved and cared for the tree knew ahead of time that it would be cut.

Local agencies assist in Oso slide responseBy JANIS REIDStaff reporter

Members of the local American Red Cross chapter and the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Search and Rescue unit assisted with rescue and recovery efforts since a mudslide hit Snohomish County Saturday morning.

“It was a good feeling to help rescue people caught up in the mudslide,” said David Scott, the crew chief aboard the Navy’s Knighthawk helicopter. “It was a bittersweet experience.”

As of Tuesday, the death toll was at least 14, with well over 100 unaccounted for, according to the Everett Herald.

Nine volunteers have been sent from the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross

City working with owner to correct safety hazardBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

Oak Harbor city officials are trying to arrange to have an unused well next to a mobile home park perma-nently sealed after a dead deer was found moldering in its watery depths.

A resident called police March 11 to report that the dead animal was inside a partially uncovered well next to the Evergreen Mobile Home Park on Goldie Road.

Oak Harbor’s animal control officer responded and found the deer was reduced to mainly just bones, according to the Oak Harbor Police Department.

“We’re obviously con-cerned that it’s a safety

hazard,” said Arnie Peterschmidt, project engi-neer with the city of Oak Harbor. He added that a building official is working with the landowner to solve the problem.

Keith Higman, director of Island County Public Health, said the hand-dug well was not being used by the mobile home park but hadn’t been officially decommissioned.

State law requires that property owners formally decommission wells that are no longer in use or dilapidated beyond repair, according to Higman.

Abandoned hand-dug wells need to be filled with clean, chlorinated sand and then capped; the rules are different for drilled wells, he said.

The state Department of Ecology reports that improperly abandoned wells, especially “the shal-low dug type,” can pose safety and environmental hazards.

The state relies on

reports from property own-ers for the location of aban-doned wells, but nobody has a clear estimate of how many there are. The Department of Ecology estimates that there are anywhere from 10,000 to as many as 100,000 across the state.

A construction worker in Shelton fell into an aban-doned well while looking for the wellhead in 2013 and suffered hypothermia, according to King 5. There have been no reported deaths of people falling into old wells in the state in recent years, but animals haven’t been so lucky.

“Every year there are reports of dogs, horses or other farm animals injured or killed from a fall into an abandoned well,” the Department of Ecology website states.

Higman, however, said old wells aren’t a county-wide issue, though officials periodically come across hand-dug wells from years past.

Officials seek to close well that trapped deer

Malloy among four to receive scholarshipsBy JIM WALLERSports editor

George Morse gave Oak Harbor Olympian Marti Malloy the gift of judo more than 20 years ago. Another gift in his name will be awarded to Malloy at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 29, at the NAS Whidbey Island gym-nasium.

Malloy and three other dedicated Northwest student athletes will receive scholar-ships Saturday to help defray college costs.

The money for the schol-arships came from memo-rial donations upon Morse’s death in October, according to Amoy Morse, George’s wife.

Malloy, who has an advertising/marketing degree from San Jose State University, is pursu-ing a masters and will receive $500.

Patrick Mendiola of Steilacoom, Thomas Oreta-Sedlacek of Pierce College and Kiaya Van Scoyoc of Lakes High School will receive $1,000 each.

“People were very gener-ous in their giving,” Amoy Morse said.

The scholarship winners are all “excellent students” as well as standouts in judo, Amoy Morse said.

She received help in select-

ing the recipients from Jason Harai, a judo colleague of George Morse and coach at the Ippon Dojo in Lakewood.

Once Harai settled on the winners, he cleared his choic-es with the Yudanshakai, which provide leadership for judo organizations in the region, Amoy Morse said.

George Morse coached judo for 25 years, including at NAS Whidbey Island where Malloy began the sport 21 years ago at age 6.

Malloy, who won a bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012 and placed second at the world champi-onships in 2013, will make a quick stop in Oak Harbor to

receive her scholarship and to honor George Morse. She arrives Saturday morning and will leave Sunday morn-ing.

“It’s a true testament to the character of Sensei George that his family would support up-and-coming judo athletes through a judo scholarship,”

Malloy said. “I per-sonally have known George my whole life and know that I wouldn’t have become the person and judo player I am without his pos-itive influence and

motivation.”“He was a great man and

I know he would be proud to see the love for him trans-ferred on to future judoka through a judo scholarship,” Malloy added.

Amoy Morse hopes the scholarships will help pro-mote and bring attention to the NAS Whidbey Island judo club.

Nobody was injured in a motor home fire on Northwest Lateen Street in Oak Harbor on Monday.

According to Oak Harbor Fire Chief Ray Merrill, the fire was first noticed by an occupant in the motor home, who smelled smoke.

Merrill said the motor home’s occupant tried to find the source of the fire before evacuating. The occupant and his father shut off the power to the motor home, then called 911, according to Merrill.

The call was placed at 11:57 a.m. Monday. Engine 81 arrived at 12:03 p.m.

The fire was mostly out by 12:20 p.m., said Merrill.

“When we got here, the motor home was heavily involved on the right side, with some fire spreading over to the house,” Merrill said.

Merrill said there was minimal damage to the house itself, but the motor home is “a total loss.”

Responders to the emergency call included two engines from the fire department, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, Navy Region Northwest Fire and a unit from

the Whidbey General Hospital, a “pretty stan-dard response” to this sort of call, according to Merrill.

There were no injuries sustained in the fire.

Merrill said the cause is still under investigation, but it appears to be acci-dental.

County plans to revise ordinanceBy JANIS REIDStaff reporter

A Thurston County judge agrees with a local environ-mental group that two Island County ordinances dealing with wetlands on farm land must be revised.

The Island County Commissioners supported a staff recommendation not to appeal the decision.

“We disagree with the Thurston County rul-ing,” Planning Director David Wechner told the commissioners Monday. “Nevertheless, we see no advantage in appealing.”

A lawsuit was filed by the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, in 2006 after the Island County commissioners adopted two ordinances dealing with critical areas, such as wetlands, in agricul-tural areas.

The group unsuccessfully challenged the ordinance to the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, and subse-quently filed the lawsuit in Thurston County Superior Court.

The group initially chal-lenged the county’s treat-ment of wetlands on farm-land back in 2000 and won. The Hearings Board agreed in that case that a county ordinance exempting all agriculture from wetland protection was contrary to the Growth Management Act.

Wechner recommended Monday that the county respond to the hearings

board with a plan to revise the ordinances by 2016, the deadline for a mandatory ordinance update already in process.

“Staff is confident that a review based on new data with all the stakeholders involved will result in Island County agriculture and environmental protection,” Wechner said.

Public Health Director Keith Higman said he agrees with Wechner that the ordi-nance they would be defend-ing in an appeal is from 2005 and likely outdated anyway.

WEAN representatives could not reached for com-ment.

Last year, WEAN found-er Steve Erickson said his main concerns with the ordi-nances were that the under the current regulation, the farm management plans required of farmers would not be available to the public and that the plans were not enforceable.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she doesn’t not agree with the Thurston County ruling, but moving forward with a revision is the best way to apply the county’s “scant” resources.

“It’s time to put a stop to

this long, protracted court battle,” Price Johnson said.

The 2006 lawsuit was stayed several years ago after the state Legislature asked the William D. Ruckelshaus Center up with a solution for regulating critical areas, which had become a state-wide debate.

The center finally pro-posed the Voluntary Stewardship Program, which would have required the county to set up new watershed groups that would create work plans, but the commissioners voted to opt out of the program last year.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson said Monday she’d like to see the stewardship program reconsidered by the county and that she was “deeply saddened that we are still using resources on this.”

She said that the ruling should be “a warning to vot-ers to do their homework” in choosing decision makers who made choices and rul-ings involving the lawsuit.

Commissioner Jill Johnson she supported the staff recommendation but defended the work of of the previous county leadership.

“This work is work we would have to do anyway, regardless of the outcome of that legal process,” Johnson said. “It’s a much wiser use of our tax dollars. This is no way implies that the work done previously by the com-munity was without merit or was faulty.

“I support your recom-mendation I think it’s the best course for our county.”

Motor home destroyed by fire

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

After 25 years of defend-ing clients in a court of law, Tom Pacher’s body and mind needed a break.

One day, he turned to his wife and suggested an idea that was literally right before his eyes.

Why not open a cigar shop?

Pacher had become somewhat of a cigar aficio-nado over the years, visit-ing shops during travels to South Florida and conven-tions in Pennsylvania.

He wound up collecting thousands of cigars, most through online orders, bought humidors to store them and purchased other items such as paintings, cigar boxes and old signs that reflected his passion.

A worsening back condi-tion led him to look for more forgiving ways to spend his days than standing for long periods of time in court.

The stress of serving as primary appointed coun-sel on several high-profile criminal cases and others in Island County over the past several years also took a toll.

“My body thinks it’s 100-years-old,” said Pacher, who’s 50.

Pacher spoke with his wife Marlene in November

about making a significant career change and that con-versation led to a new pre-mium cigar and pipe shop that will be opening in Oak Harbor next month.

Whidbey Premium Cigar & Pipe will open April 1 at the site of the former Kits Camera store near Safeway on Highway 20.

Pacher’s passion, research and difficulty finding premium cigars on Whidbey Island led him to believe the business would be a success in Oak Harbor.

“You have to go to the mainland to find a store like this,” he said. “It’s an old-fashioned pipe and cigar store.”

The store will carry a wide range of cigars, humi-dors to store them and an assortment of pipes.

Although the store will offer some accessories for those who smoke electronic cigarettes, all other products will be tobacco related.

There will be no mari-juana pipes or other acces-sories.

“That’s not a knock on anybody with marijuana,” Pacher said. “It’s just noth-ing we’re interested in get-ting involved in. I don’t want to scare off customers. I’d like there to be somewhere men and women of the base

could go to safely and not have their commanding offi-cers worry about them.

“All of our cards are on the table. It’s tobacco.”

Pacher is amazed over the quality of cigars being made these days. His selection will include Graycliff, Don Pepin and Nick Perdomo and will range from cigars under $2 to those that will sell for more than $20.

He also will be selling, refurbishing and repairing pipes.

He believes the time is right for a premium cigar

and pipe shop in Oak Harbor. He’s been watch-ing cigar trends, noticing far improved quality at reason-able prices.

It wasn’t the easiest sell at first to convince his wife of 18 years that this was the right move, but she got on board and has worked tirelessly to catalogue their immense inventory to pre-pare for the opening.

Pacher, who will retain his law license, said it’s been a tedious job to comply with all of the laws involving the sale of tobacco products.

But he believes it will all be worth it.

“Twenty years ago, there was a big cigar boom,” Pacher said.

“It was volume back then. Now it’s just amazing quality

stuff being made out there. It’s blue collar. It’s white col-lar. I’ve been talking with groups from doctors, plum-mers, truck drivers to attor-neys. It crosses all lines or

barriers. It’s really nice to sit and chat with folks about cigars.”

“It’s going to be a lot less stressful than the work I’ve been doing.”

Tom and Marlene Pacher of Freeland will open Whidbey Premium Cigar & Pipe April 1 on State Highway 20 in Oak Harbor. Pacher will keep his law license but will focus his energies now on the new store. A worsening back condition prompted the move.

Making a case for qualityWhidbey Island lawyer turns attention to bringing premium cigar and pipe store to Oak Harbor

The new shop will carry a wide selection of pipes for tobacco. Tom Pacher will refurbish and repair pipes as well.

“I understand that there are safety issues, but I don’t agree with doing it without a second or third opinion.”

John Cline, a North Whidbey woodworker, said he is also very upset and is planning a ceremony at the tree and march on City Hall 11 a.m. Saturday. He claims he looked at the cut sections of the tree and saw only superficial rot.

“I’m not one of your hippie tree huggers, but there are things that matter,” he said. “It’s really disappointing.”

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said the decision to fell the tree was made after an arborist from Tree Solutions assessed the risk of failure as “high” in 2012, and then two giant limbs from the oak fell in May and June of 2013.

“It’s obviously something we didn’t want to do,” he said. “In an ideal world, the tree would have lived forever.”

Dudley said an arborist will give a presentation about the tree at the City Council meet-ing 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 1.

Dudley said he made the decision not to tell the pub-lic about the plans ahead of time in order to lessen the city’s exposure to a potential lawsuit if the tree would have caused injury or damage.

“I tend to listen to our attor-ney,” he said, adding both the city attorney and city’s insur-ance provider advised the city to cut the tree.

City officials looked at other options, such as cabling or eliminating access under the tree, but nothing panned out.

Part of the problem is that the limbs extended over Post Office property as well as two roads and sidewalks, the city reported in a press release sent out after the tree cutting started.

Acting City Attorney Grant Weed, however, said he didn’t advise the city to keep the plans a secret.

When to cut the tree and when to tell the community was a policy decision made by the city administration, Weed said.

“It’s not my role to make policy decisions,” he said.

Likewise, City Admin-istrator Larry Cort said the city administration — which

is ultimately the mayor — made the decision not to inform the public ahead of time in order to lessen potential liability in case of an event.

Speaking in public about the arborist’s report and the city’s plans to cut the tree down could have led unscru-pulous folks to bring litigation they may not have otherwise, Cort said.

“There could be some folks out there who would see a potential chance for a claim,” he said.

Crider points out that the liability is there whether or not the issue was publicly discussed. Cort agreed that the arborist report is a public document.

Cort said he didn’t have an answer as to why the public wasn’t warned about the dan-gers outlined in the arborist’s report two years ago instead of keeping the issue secret. Obviously, people walk under the tree just about every day.

Michele Earl-Hubbard, an attorney with Allied Law Group and an expert in open government, said in an email she sees potential reason for concern with the way the tree went down.

“Seems like if there was really harm, they needed to rope it off and warn people — not hide in closed meetings with a lawyer to discuss how if it fell on someone that they could be sued,” she said.

“As my child would say, ‘No duh.’”

Councilman Rick Almberg isn’t pleased about the secre-cy surrounding the felling, but said the issue was only discussed during execu-tive session and he felt he couldn’t talk about it publicly.

“We’ve had more execu-tive session under this mayor than we had under Slowik’s entire term,” he said, refer-

ring to former Mayor Jim Slowik.

Almberg pointed out that Dudley promised greater transparency during his administration.

Earl-Hubbard said facts that exist beyond an attor-ney’s legal analysis — such as the arborist report and facts about tree limbs falling — are not necessarily privileged.

“Officials are not supposed to hide behind the coat tails of lawyers because some facts the city possesses and discusses could lead to legal liability,” she said.

“Yes, I see red flags. Anytime agencies use rea-sons like this to avoid disclos-ing information to the public, and make decisions in secret, I see a huge red flag. And the public probably should too.”

Earl-Hubbard also ques-tions whether it was proper

to hold an executive ses-sion about the issue at all, as opposed to discussing it publicly.

Under state law, closed-door sessions are allowed to discuss “potential litigation,” but Earl-Hubbard doesn’t think it would cover this type of discussion; she opined that the city would lose if chal-lenged in court on the issue.

The grand old oak tree, however, will not be gone completely.

Parks Manager Hank Nydam said the trunk was cut in two giant sections in order to preserve as much as possible of the wood for artwork or other projects. He said a lot of different things could be done with the wood; he said one idea is to have a contest to see what ideas artists and woodworkers can come up with.

Oak Harbor city workers take a break as remains of the old Garry oak at the post office wait to be hauled off.

since Saturday, accord-ing to Ron Conlin, Island Chapter supervisor.

The volunteers work as shelter workers in a 12-hour shift rotation. It remains unclear how many people have been dis-placed, according to Nancy Waddell, co-team leader of the South Whidbey Disaster Action Team.

However, Waddell said was aware that one night over the weekend the Arlington shelter housed 24 people over-night.

Several other shelters have been opened in the area, Waddell said.

A registered nurse from the Islands Chapter is also on site providing health services.

In addition, NAS Whidbey Island’s Search and Rescue unit was con-tacted by the Regional Operations Center

Snowpack Operator for assistance, according to Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding.

“I was awestruck by the destruction and even more so when we found out how many houses were destroyed,” said Lt. Robert Merin, the helicopter copi-lot.

The unit helped evacu-ate several individuals after arriving on scene and two crew members provided on-the-ground evacuation efforts.

They returned to base to transport three fed-eral firefighters and their rescue equipment to the scene, and one victim was transported to Skagit Valley Hospital.

The unit returned to NAS Whidbey Island late Saturday but is on alert standby to provide addition-al assistance if requested, Welding said.

2016, Nortier said.Overall base population

of active duty sailors will increase from “just under” 7,000 to about 8,800, said Nortier. For every sailor, Nortier said, Whidbey can expect an average of 2.2 dependents to move here with them.

“I think the margin of error in those (numbers) is pretty close,” Nortier said.

Based on current num-bers and recent history, Superintendent Lance Gibbon said an estimated 700 to 750 new students can be expected over the years when the population increases because of the additional squadrons.

However, the popula-tion at NAS Whidbey is set to decrease during fiscal years 2019 and 2020, caus-ing the student population, which would be increasing up until 2019, to drop by about 250 students at that time.

Because the projected numbers are an estimate, more definite planning will have to wait until closer to time of the population increase, and more collabo-ration between the school board and NAS Whidbey would need to take place, school officials said.

“We’ll keep talking, keep communicating,” said Gibbon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORTrees

Take ‘oak’ out of city and it’s just a harborEditor,

TodayOak Harboris now merelya harbor.

Pete GiorgianniOak Harbor

City leaders must be held accountable for Editor,

The City of Oak Harbor slayed its oldest living citizen this past Sunday.

Without announcement or public comment, the mayor and his cronies cut down the 400-year-old Garry oak tree in front of the post office.

I personally inspected the carnage of the tree and found it structurally uncompromised. Sure, it had a small area of hollow heart and a fungal condi-tion, but it would likely have survived this way beyond our time, our chil-dren’s time and generations beyond

that. The city was looking to remove old

“Garry” for some time, but they went behind our back to do so.

Public safety? Not likely. Progress? Dubious.

Just like the desecration of the known burial grounds on Pioneer Way, they just did what they pleased. A trav-esty, a desecration, another indiscrimi-nate act, so senseless, so irreverent.

I am not the crazy “tree-hugger” type, but this was done without respect to nature or the desires of the com-munity.

Wanton destruction. Inexplicable.For hundreds of years, enduring

storms, swampy conditions, roadways, sidewalks, the great tree still lived on, vibrant and fully leaved just last sum-mer, only to be felled because of the fears of perceived liability makes no sense.

Garry oaks are protected by city ordinance and are the namesake of Oak Harbor, but the city appears not to live by its own rules and just does what it wants. This was an act of callousness.

I would like all who loved that old tree to gather in respect from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 29, at the sawn stump. Bring family, pictures, flowers

and signs of protest. Let’s heap flowers upon the stump to celebrate its life. Help us count the rings on the stump and mark history upon it.

Write and email your friends. Let us shut down the traffic and show our dismay. Let us then walk, in a dignified fashion, to Oak Harbor City Hall in pro-test. I invite everyone, long-time local families, tree huggers and anyone who will miss our old friend. Let the Mayor and city officials know that it matters.

What’s done, is done. We can’t wish a new 400-year-old oak back into being. We can, however, hold the city offi-cials responsible for their callousness and total disregard toward public sen-timents. Then, vote the fools out of office.

John ClineOak Harbor

Let’s put thought into what trees we plantEditor,

It’s spring and the trees along Highway 20 on the north entrance to the city will soon again be able to block

It wasn’t just the mighty oak tree that was lost this weekend in Oak Harbor.

A good deal of trust in Oak Harbor city government also fell victim to the city’s chain saw this weekend.

At 7 a.m. Sunday, those chain saws were firing up at the exact moment someone with Mayor Scott Dudley’s administration was pressing the “send” button for a press release to the Whidbey News-Times.

That in itself is an alarmingly calculated effort to subvert public notification and keep the public in the dark.

To his credit, Dudley owns the decision to keep the tree-cutting a secret. However, his stated rationale for keeping the plan secret is as rotten as Dudley claims the old oak was.

Dudley claims his intent was to lessen the city’s exposure to a potential lawsuit if the tree would have caused injury or damage.

If that’s the kind of flimsy excuse for keeping the city’s activities secret, then Oak Harbor’s citizens have a lot more to be worried about than just this oak tree.

Even though Dudley said he was heeding attorney advice, acting City Attorney Grant Weed says he didn’t advise the city to keep the tree-cutting plans a secret.

Open government expert Michele Earl Hubbard ques-tions whether it was even proper to hold an executive session at all.

“Seems like, if there was really harm, they needed to rope it off and warn people, not hide in closed meetings with a lawyer to discuss how if it fell on someone that they could be sued,” said Earl-Hubbard, an attorney with Allied Law Group.

“Anytime agencies use reasons like this to avoid disclosing information to the public, and make decisions in secret, I see a huge red flag.

“And the public probably should too,” said Earl-Hubbard.Councilman Rick Almberg says he is also bothered

by the secrecy but felt muzzled because the matter was revealed to the council in executive session.

Even though Dudley ran on a promise of transparency in government, Almberg said, “We’ve had more execu-tive session under this mayor than we had under (previous mayor Jim) Slowik’s entire term.”

One thing is becoming crystal clear — Dudley has little to no regard for public opinion, nor the spirit of open gov-ernment.

This isn’t the kind of leadership Oak Harbor deserves.

More than a oak tree fell victim to Oak Harbor’s saw

The sincere effort, time and money spent to encourage tourism, more visitor spending and local shopping is crippled by the “beautification program” that results in obscuring visibility of busi-nesses that hope to benefit from these efforts.

OLF

Don’t listen to claims of the anti-OLF groupEditor,

The so-called Citizens of Ebey Reserve, or COER, has been trying to drum up support in Port Townsend, Langley and the San Juan Islands in their scheme to close Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and eliminate more than 50 percent of the county’s jobs, businesses, property value and tax rev-enue.

Washington state places this eco-nomic value at 88 percent of the entire county, according to the Office of Financial Management for the state.

Now, they recently announced a trip to Washington, D.C., where they will try to meet with Congressional and Pentagon leaders with their “close the base” message.

We have more than 10,000 pro-jobs, pro-Navy signatures on a hard copy petition and Facebook — they have less than 100.

Their leadership is comprised of

rich, retired, recent transplants — they have no regard for your job, business or home value.

It is time for all of us to weigh in with our city, county, Navy and Congressional leaders with this simple message — COER is a fringe group, Team Whidbey stands fully behind NAS Whidbey and the aviators that go into harm’s way for us.

Don’t listen to COER.Scott Gray Smith

Bailey

Sen. should be honest about ALEC affiliationEditor,

Sen. Barbara Bailey finally admitted what has been suspected for years — she is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council.

This past weekend, during two of the town hall meetings sponsored by the three state legislators from our district, Bailey first admitted that she is a member of ALEC at the Mount Vernon meeting. After realizing what she had admitted, decided to be less than candid during the afternoon Oak Harbor meeting, during which she said that she “doesn’t know if she is still a member of ALEC or not.”

Yeah right, and I have some swamp land to sell you, too.

And while you are at it, do you know if you are still a member of ALEC’s powerful Health and Human Services Task Force, or have you decided that you don’t remember your intimate involvement in that task force too?

A number of the corporate members of that same task force, mostly corpo-rations from the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries, have con-tributed heavily to Bailey’s campaigns over the years. Now her voting record

in favor of pharmaceutical and health insurance companies, against the inter-ests of patients and consumers, makes sense.

We also now know where much of the legislation she sponsors comes from.

For years, Bailey was sponsoring and co-sponsoring ALEC “model” legisla-tion in furtherance of the extreme cor-poratist agenda of the Koch Brothers and other corporate sponsors of ALEC.

She sponsored House Bill 1774, the ALEC “model” voter suppression bill in 2007 and also Senate Bill 5851, the “model” legislation being pushed by ALEC-affiliated legislators around the country in order to phase-out public employees’ retirement security.

Another goal is to repeal the vot-er-approved $15 minimum wage in SeaTac and city council-approved paid sick leave ordinance in Seattle, as well as block any local jurisdictions from creating any similar standards in the future.

These bills are a few of the many ALEC-sponsored bills that Bailey has sponsored, co-sponsored and other-wise supported over her years in the state legislature.

With friends like her, the workers of the 10th District definitely do not need any more enemies.

Does anyone still believe that Barbara Bailey “doesn’t know if she is still a member of ALEC or not?” Her actions certainly do speak louder than her hollow words.

Come on, Sen. Bailey, level with the hard-working men and women of the 10th District. Come clean once and for all and tell them that you are part of the reason that their wages have been stagnant for many years and that full-time jobs with truly valuable benefits are becoming a thing of the past thanks to ALEC and its affiliated legislators like you.

MORE LETTER TO THE EDITORCONTINUED FROM A6

No one could be happier to see state law-makers wrap up and head home than Gov. Jay Inslee.

They depart-ed and won’t return until January, 2015.

That gives the rookie Democratic governor nine-plus months to get some work done without interruption or inter-ference from those who’ve foiled him repeatedly since he arrived in Olympia.

Inslee is still getting the hang of the give-and-take of the legislative process after two sessions. And it’s a challenge no amount of travel on the Olympia learning curve may help him overcome.

Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate are beginning to accept the congressman-turned-governor is a product of his past political life in Washington, D.C. They’ve come to expect he’ll rail on Republicans when he considers them obstructing his path and cast no unkind words at Democrats when they thwart his wishes.

As a result, his influence this ses-sion seemed muted on the most talked-about policy disputes like transportation, medical marijuana and revising the teacher evaluation system to secure a federal education waiver.

Several lawmakers wrangling on the waiver matter shrugged at learn-ing two days before the end of the legislative session, Inslee traveled to Snohomish County to conduct his own closed-door talks on education — with second-graders.

They didn’t know he wasn’t in town and didn’t seem to think it would have made a difference.

Such an attitude underscores why Inslee is looking forward to not having lawmakers around for a few months. Ditto for his advisers, who hope to capitalize on this opportunity to advance a mostly-stalled political agenda and leave his imprint on the state.

To accomplish this, there is an expectation Inslee will rely on every available instrument of power and exercise every available ounce of authority allotted governors through the state constitution.

He demonstrated a willingness to push the bounds in February when he declared a moratorium on use of the death penalty in Washington, put-ting an end to executions for at least as long as he holds office.

In the coming months, it is antici-pated he will issue a variety of execu-tive orders to undertake new poli-cies, practices and initiatives outside the reach of legislators.

Already this year he’s signed non-controversial ones, creating a task

force to boost the outdoor recreation industry and increasing the number of state employees working flexible hours and telecommuting.

The third, signed March 13 with-out notice, establishes the 23-mem-ber Interagency Coordinating Council for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities and Their Families.

Inslee will appoint all the mem-bers, who in turn will advise the Department of Early Learning in developing early intervention ser-vices statewide.

His critics are nervous the gover-nor might use the powers of his office to do something on much bigger issues, like raise the minimum wage for workers paid under state contracts or require state agencies to only pur-chase fuel with less carbon in it.

Whether Inslee could make such moves or do anything close isn’t clear. He’s got nine-and-a-half months to explore the possibilities and many of his political opponents couldn’t be less happy about it.

GAME OF THE WEEK Oak Harbor hosts Shorecrest at 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 26, in baseball in the league opener.SPORTS

WHIDBEY

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Though the 2013-14 sea-son is winding down, the Oak Harbor Amateur Athletic Union basketball program is on the upswing.

“This is my fourth year running the program and we have grown each year,” said Brian Knoll, AAU director. “All of our teams have shown terrific growth and develop-ment this year.”

In all, about 70 boys, grades 5 through 8, participate. Oak Harbor fields two fifth-grade teams, one sixth-grade team, one seventh-grade team and three eighth-grade teams.

“We work hard to coor-dinate our schedule with the middle school coaches as well as coordinating with Mike (Washington) and the high school program to make sure our athletes are ready to compete as incom-ing freshman,” Knoll said.

The season started in mid-November and wraps up this month with plenty of basket-ball in between. Each team plays 20 games and two four-game AAU tournaments, one at the beginning of the sea-son and one at the end.

The teams play in the SWISH (Skagit, Whatcom, Island, Snohomish [county] Hoops) League.

All of the games take place within the Skagit-Whatcom region.

The program also encour-ages its seventh- and eighth-grade players to participate in middle school basketball.

“Our goal is to provide a competitive environment for the boys to play at the next level while stressing funda-mentals,” Knoll said. “Our coaches are all volunteer and we work hard to mentor and provide positive role models for the boys on and off the court. I hope to continue to

grow the program each year ,and I am always looking for additional volunteers who are interested in giving time and talent to the program.”

Those wishing to volun-teer, to find out more infor-mation about the program or to contact Knoll, can visit the website, oakharborbasketball.

comWashington, the Oak

Harbor High School coach, said, “Brian has done an outstanding job coordinat-ing practice times, gym schedules and other issues within the program. He and the coaches in the program are developing good overall

players and great character athletes. Currently we have several athletes in (the high school) program who went through Brian’s program.”

Washington also lauded Knoll, the coaches and the parents for their commitment in helping make the AAU program successful.

SPORTS IN BRIEF


Of all the work that went into getting her third graders ready for an island-wide read-ing competition last week, there was one thing Glenda Jackson didn’t count on.

The butterflies in her stomach.

Jackson and fellow third-grade teacher Peter Woodard from Oak Harbor Elementary School were doing fine maintaining their composure while sitting together in the audience and watching their students com-pete at the Whidbey Island Reading Challenge Semifinal March 11 at Oak Harbor High School.

That is, until their student team, the Fantastics, wound up in a tie for first place and needed to go into a tiebreak-ing round to decide the win-ner.

“All of a sudden, Peter and I had all this anxiety. We were like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” Jackson said.

As it turned out, the Fantastics showed uncanny composure under pressure, huddling together like a foot-ball team to come up with the right answer to nudge past Coupeville Elementary and win the Whidbey Island event.

That means the Fantastics will move on to the Reading Challenge Final March 26 in Mukilteo where they’ll

compete against teams from Snohomish County.

That event starts at 7 p.m. at Rosehill Community Center.

“We might be famous a lit-tle,” third grader John Tryon said.

“It feels pretty good to be on top of Whidbey Island,” Allison Bailey said.

The Fantastics are made up of eight Oak Harbor Elementary third graders: Jermaine Denmon, Jillian Knoll, Brianna Moore, Antonia Prosser, Payten Seith, Liam Woodard, Tryon and Bailey.

The Readers Challenge is a program sponsored by Sno-Isle Libraries that encour-ages children to have fun

reading while honing literacy skills.

Starting two years ago

with only two schools from Oak Harbor, the program involved all seven public ele-

mentary schools on Whidbey and 270 third graders for the second year in a row.


It didn’t matter to Elisabeth Ince that she was a young competitor up against several older students.

It didn’t bother her that she was on a big stage with so much at stake.

Ince, a fifth grader from Broad View Elementary School in Oak Harbor, remained composed as she advanced deep into the Skagit County Regional Spelling Bee in Mount Vernon March 15.

“It was pretty easy,” she said.

Ince, 11, managed to keep her cool through the finish and out-spelled 29 other competitors on her way to the title, which earned her a trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in May.

It was the second year in a row that a Broad View fifth grader was crowned regional champion after Trina Desquitado won in 2013.

“That’s because we are a

really smart school,” Ince said with a smile.

Ince won by outlasting Oak Harbor Middle School eighth-grader Anna Kate Fahey in 21 rounds at Skagit Valley College’s Phillip Tarro Theatre.

The 36th annual event is contested by students in fourth through eighth grades in Island, Skagit and San Juan counties.

Ince got her big opportu-nity after Fahey misspelled the word “notochord.”

She had to hold back a smile when the next word announced was “taupe.”

She knew that one.She spelled it correctly

then could let the smile go.Rhonda Ince, her mother,

could finally let go of emo-tions, too. It was a day of anxious moments and pride for her.

Her son Logan Ince, a seventh grader at North Whidbey Middle School, also was among the five finalists.

“It was pretty cool see-

ing them sitting together,” Rhonda Ince said. “She was speller No. 1, he was speller No. 2. They were giving each other high-fives. They both worked really hard.”

Still, Elisabeth had little doubt she’d outlast her older brother, who got tripped up on the word “graupel.”

“I thought I was going to beat him because I’m just a better speller than he is,” she said matter-of-factly.

Elisabeth’s confidence in her abilities is something her teacher, Mary Obee, has noticed in her classroom.

But she won’t get into the conversation about who’s the better speller in the family.

Obee also had Logan in her fifth-grade class.

“I have to be careful,” she said.

Obee characterized Elisabeth as a “natural spell-er” and “voracious reader.”

But, she pointed out, that a spelling bee champion can’t rely on that alone.

“In life, it comes to a point where hard work and dedica-tion trumps anything else,” Obee said. “That’s what pro-pelled Elisabeth.”

Elisabeth and a par-ent earned a free trip to Washington, D.C., for the national event, which takes place May 27-29 and will be televised on ESPN and its sister channels. Her father is 1988 Oak Harbor High School graduate Clarence Ince.

At the nationally-televised event, Elisabeth will be speller No. 269.

“I’m really excited,” she said.

Just earning the title of champion in her own class-room wasn’t a cakewalk for

Elisabeth.Classmate Brenna Richard

proved to be an excellent speller and top competitor in the class and school competi-tions.

By winning the regional spelling bee, Elisabeth received a copy of Webster’s Third New International Dictionary. She decided to donate that to her classroom and signed it with a message that read:

“To Mrs. Obee’s class. Go after the big adventures.”

Elisabeth can’t wait to con-tinue hers.

Marguerite Welch

Marguerite Audrey Linnea Welch died March 18, 2014, at Providence Medical Center in Everett at the age of 85. She was born to Adrian Arnold and Agnes Ericson on Sept. 20, 1928, in Seattle.

She was raised in Seattle and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1946.

Marguerite’s cousin intro-duced her to a young man, Bert Welch, who, while serv-ing in World War II, was cap-tured and held as a prisoner of war. On Jan. 20, 1947, Bert and Marguerite were mar-ried.

The young couple lived on Mercer Island and their family began to grow. Three children were added to the family: Adrianne, Bert Jr. and Colleen.

In 1959, Bert accepted a civil service position at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and the family settled in Oak Harbor. Marguerite soon began working for the Oak Harbor School District as a food service worker at Oak Harbor High School, a position she maintained until

her retirement 28 years later.Marguerite was a 54-year

member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. She loved going on cruises, was an avid knitter, cross stitcher and was an avid reader.

She was a member of the Rebekah Lodge No. 254 and a former member of the Oak Harbor Emblem Club No. 450. Her greatest passion was working with the Prisoner of War Association.

Marguerite is survived by three children and their spouses, Adrianne Gerlach and husband Gary of Ellensburg, Wash.; Bert Welch Jr. and Cynthia of Palmer, Alaska; and Colleen Cook-Hamblin and her hus-band George of Oak Harbor; by five grandchildren, William and Chantel Welch, Shelley and Corey Cook and Joel Gerlach; by three great-grandchildren, Ryan, Tyler and Riley Welch; and her best friend, Geri Vance.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Arnold Ericson.

Memorial services for Marguerite will be held 3 p.m., Wednesday, March 26 at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church with Rev. Marc Stroud officiating.

Donations may be made to the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, to a cancer charity of your choice or to a favorite charity.

Friends and family are invit-ed to visit Marguerite’s page in the Book of Memories at www.wallinfuneralhome.com

Tenth District lawmakers last week briefed constitu-ents on highlights of the 2014 Legislative session.

Convening at South Whidbey High School before a crowd of about 30 were state Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton; Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor; and Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano.

The three each took about 10 minutes to bring the crowd up to speed about what they felt were highlights in Olympia, from Bailey’s pro-motion of a budget that made gains in higher education to Haye’s unsuccessful bill to end an exemption for law-makers that prevents them from getting speeding infrac-tions during the session.

“My intent in bringing that bill was that we are not above the law,” Hayes said.

The bill never made it out of committee.

Smith talked about her focus on economic develop-ment through the fostering of sustainable energy indus-tries. She echoed Bailey’s

sentiments that a balanced budget was adopted with a great bipartisan effort.

“The kind of support we saw literally hasn’t been seen in decades,” Smith said.

Smith complained that news organizations focus on what’s going wrong and that she was there to report good things are happening.

“I’m here to tell you things are going right,” Smith said.

Attendees took advantage of the question-and-answer portion of the meeting, quiz-zing the lawmakers on issues ranging from transportation to government accountability.

Freeland resident Bob Walters started things off by asking how far each was willing to go to address tax reform, and education and transportation funding issues.

Hayes said efforts are underway to lower trans-portation costs, which he claimed are more expensive in Washington. He also reit-erated Bailey’s early report that “two-thirds of increased spending” went to higher eduction.

“We are addressing that

issue; we’re getting there,” Hayes said.

Bailey and Smith both talked about a long-standing debate over Washington’s lack of a state income tax, and also the state’s business and operation tax, which is “crushing small businesses,” Smith said.

Mirroring recent local debates, public park funding was also a topic of discussion, with Langley resident Kim Drury asking what efforts were made to make the sys-tem more sustainable.

“I think our state park sys-

tem is in a crisis,” she said.Smith said that more than

50 percent of the state is pub-licly owned and that govern-ment must focus on maintain-ing what it has.

“To me, we need to slow this acquisition,” Smith said.

Clinton resident Doug Hofius said it seems that Mukilteo is receiving the focus of state financial dollars — Washington State Ferries investment in a new terminal — when Clinton is struggling

just to survive.“Our town is blight, it’s

dying,” Hofius said.“We’re kinda asking for

your help to make things more reasonable on our side of the water because our people work at Boeing too,” he said.

Bailey said the Clinton ferry dock could be better and may be looked at dur-ing the next biennium to see what improvements might be made.

“It really begs the question about a few things that prob-ably should have been in the design of that ferry dock,” Bailey said.

Hayes agreed, adding the state Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, “give more weight to ferry communities” when considering future projects.

“Right now there is no way … but your statement doesn’t fall on deaf ears,” he said.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
