A chase gone bad has resulted in two claims filed against Oak Harbor and an internal review of the incident by the city’s police department.
James McFaul of Hattiesburg, Miss., and his son, David McFaul of Oak Harbor, both submitted claims for financial damages on Feb. 14, two days after the vehi-cle they were in was broadsided by a patrol car.
Police Chief Rick Wallace confirmed that the collision did occur and said it was a significant accident. It was investigated by the Washington State Patrol and the agency has concluded that the officer was at fault, he said.
The Oak Harbor Police Department’s internal Accident Review Board, which is being led by Lt. John Dyer, is also doing an investigation; it’s stan-dard procedure anytime an acci-dent involves an officer. It will examine a range of issues, from fault and possible disciplinary action to department policies and whether additional training for officers is needed.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks has decided he will not seek the death penalty against a 31-year-old homeless man accused of mur-dering both of his grandfathers at their North Whidbey homes last October.
Joshua Lambert is accused of stabbing to death his two 80-year-
old grandfathers, George Lambert and August Eisner, on Oct. 3. Lambert, who is acting as his own attorney, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and told the Whidbey News-Times that he was in the midst of a hallucination when he committed the crimes.
“As horrific and devastating as his alleged crimes are, I have decided not to seek the death pen-
alty against Joshua David Lambert,” Banks wrote in a statement. “My decision is consistent with the wish-es of most of the victims’ surviv-ing family members. It is consistent with the record of capital murder cases in Washington. And it is sup-ported by the evidence known to me, and the law that governs its use at trial.”
Banks has spent months investi-
gating whether to pursue the death penalty and announced his decision this week. He met with family mem-bers of both victims multiple times and discussed the case with some of the state’s most experienced death penalty prosecutors.

Joel Servatius has been select-ed as Oak Harbor’s newest city councilman.
Servatius was appointed in a 4-2 vote at City Hall Tuesday to fill Position 5, the seat occu-pied by Scott Dudley before he was elected mayor. Dudley had served two years of a four-year term.
“I’m excited and looking for-ward to the challenge,” Servatius said, following his appointment.
The owner and branch man-ager of Transamerica Financial Advisors Inc. in Oak Harbor, Servatius holds a bachelor’s degree in business administra-tion from the University of Puget Sound and has been a member of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce board since 2001.

Not only do the new maintenance, information ser-vices and warehouse departments of the Oak Harbor School District provide much more space for more efficient work, but the remodeling didn’t cost taxpayers an extra cent.
Tour the new facilities, located behind Oak Harbor High School, Wednesday, Feb. 29 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
For years, maintenance and information services have been housed on Midway Boulevard in the bottom floor of the original Oak Harbor High School, which was built in 1911.
Maintenance serves approximately 240,000 square feet of buildings in the district.
Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, painting, heating, air circulation, information services and more were stuffed into the small building on Midway and efficiency was challenging with the lack of space for equipment and supplies.
Now, each area has a separate workshop. Each indi-vidual workshop is half the size of the total space all the staff used to work in, said Bruce Worley, executive director for maintenance and operations.
“Actually, they think they’re in heaven now,” Worley

Officials are continuing to mull over a proposal for a medical marijuana busi-ness in Langley.
Lucas Jushinski, a Free-land resident and Iraq War veteran, is seeking a
business license from the city for his nonprofit, Is-land Alternative Medicine. Jushinski, a former com-bat medic, wants to open a storefront operation on Second Street where medi-cal marijuana would be provided to patients who are legally authorized to use the drug.
The Langley City Coun-cil held a special council workshop on medical mari-juana issues last week, and officials were generally supportive of the idea.
Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango said this week the city has yet
to issue a business license to Jushinski. Arango said there were still a lot of is-sues to sort out on Jushin-ski’s proposal.
Langley has been look-ing at other cities that have dealt with the medical marijuana issue, as well as reviewing ordinances, impacts from established marijuana operations and other related topics.
“That’s where we are focusing our energies,” Ar-ango said.
There’s no estimate on when a business license may be issued.
The collision occurred on Feb. 12 at about 8:30 p.m. According to Wallace, an officer attempted to pull over a vehicle earlier in the evening for a traf-fic infraction, but it took off and the pursuit was terminated.
The same vehicle was spotted on Heller Street a short time later by Officer Steve Nordstrand, a former department drug abuse resistance education, or DARE, officer. Norstrand began a pursuit and was going through the intersection at Whidbey Avenue when his car collided with the McFauls’ vehicle.
The McFauls, traveling in a 2007 Buick Terraza van, were eastbound on Whidbey Avenue and pro-ceeding through the inter-section on a green light
when they were struck, according to their claims for damages.
The force of the colli-sion resulted in the patrol car hitting a third vehicle, a 1999 Ford Windstar van driven by Oak Harbor res-ident Frank Campos.
Following the acci-dent, both of the McFauls went to Whidbey General Hospital. According to their claims, each received medical attention but nei-ther was seriously injured in the crash. James said this week that he was sore but recovering.
He complimented both the city and its insurance company, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority, for their cooperation.
“They’ve been super,” James said.
Neither of the McFauls’ claims listed specific mon-etary amounts; James is asking to be reimbursed for personal injury expenses and hotel and airline costs related to
the accident, and David is seeking compensation for property damage and medical injury expenses.
According to Wallace, officer-related crashes are rare with between one and four occurring annu-ally. The vast majority are minor fender benders and many are the fault of other drivers.
“I’m very proud of the low number of officer-at-fault accidents that occur,” he said.
He added that Nordstrand is a veteran officer and that this is the first collision he knows of that Nordstrand has been involved in.
As for the car that was being pursued, Wallace said it was found unoccu-pied the next day. Police are investigating whether the registered owner was driving at the time of the incident. If the owner was, he or she could face felony charges of evading police.
The 40-year-old father of three is also the current president and a coach of the Whidbey Wildcat Wrestling Club and a volunteer at the Oak Harbor Elementary School, according to his resume.
The process to fill Position 5 began in early January and Servatius was appointed from a pool of 10 candidates. He was among the four finalists who were selected earlier this month and then publicly inter-viewed Tuesday evening.
The other finalists included Richard Devlin, James Reynolds and Jeff Wallin. The men were asked a series of questions, which ranged from their views on budget reserves to their long-range election plans.
Of the four, Servatius and Wallin emerged as the council’s top two picks. The strengths of both candidates were dis-
cussed at length. Servatius’ financial background, lead-ership skills and community involvement were praised, as was Wallin’s expertise in the construction business, long volunteer history and commu-nity roots.
The council members repeat-edly remarked that both candi-dates were well qualified for the position. Councilman Bob Severns said it was one of the hardest decisions he’s had to make as an elected official and Councilwoman Beth Munns was so undecided that she was the last to make up her mind and became the deciding vote.
“It’s tough,” Munns said. “This is really a tough deci-sion.”
In the end, Servatius earned the support of Munns, Severns, and council members Danny Paggao and Jim Campbell while Wallin received votes from council members Rick Almberg and Tara Hizon.
Servatius was immediately sworn in by city Clerk Connie Wheeler and took his seat at the council bench for the remainder of the meeting.
In a later interview, Servatius said he applied for the position because he and his family are in Oak Harbor for the long term. He said he is eager to begin serving the community as its newest councilman.
“I’m looking forward to get-ting my feet wet,” Servatius said.

Island County commission-ers will consider an ordinance Monday that increases dog license fees and the cost of get-ting a pooch out of doggy jail.
Betty Kemp, manager of the general services department, said the increases are based on a survey of what other jurisdic-tions charge for dog tags and the redemption of lost dogs at animal shelters. She said the proposed charges would put the county’s fees in the middle of the pack. In addition, she said the increase would bring the county slightly closer to recovering the cost of provid-ing animal control.
The commissioners will hold a public hearing to consider the ordinance that increases the charges during their 2 p.m. meeting Feb. 27. If it is adopt-ed, as expected, it will go into effect three days later.
The fees for a dog license, springing an impounded dogs or surrendering an unwanted dog haven’t changed since 1999.
The proposal would increase the cost of purchasing a required dog license from $7 to $10 for neutered or spayed canines and from $25 to $50 for intact pooches.
For lost dogs that end up at the shelter, the cost of redemp-tion would jump. The impound fee would increase for $25 to $50 and the daily boarding fee increases from $7 to $10. The impound fee would double to $100 for the second dog impoundment within a year and $200 for third and subse-quent impoundments.
In addition, Kemp said the
ordinance was simplified to take out late penalties and dis-counts for senior citizen dog owners, while some language was cleaned up.
Kemp said she’s also been working with officials in other county departments in an effort to allow people to pur-chase dog licenses online, pos-sibly at the county’s website. The hope is that more people will comply with the ordinance if it’s easier.
Kemp previously estimated that there’s at least 10,000 dogs in unincorporated areas of the county. Since only a small percentage of dog owners purchase licenses, the county is missing out on thousands of dollars a year that could be used to offset the costs of keeping animals healthy and happy at the shelters.
Currently, dog licenses can be purchased at the Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation shelters in Oak Harbor or south of Coupeville, at the county treasurer’s office in Coupeville and of four dif-ferent veterinarian offices on Whidbey. The dog owner has to show proof that his or her dog received a rabies vaccina-

THE WHALES HAVE OH-RRIVED!
By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter
A 26-year-old Oak Harbor man accused of slashing another man’s throat with a broken beer bottle at a nightclub made a preliminary appear-ance in Island County Superior Court Thursday.
Judge Vickie Churchill found prob-able cause to hold Shaunyae Allen on suspicion of first-degree assault and set his bail at $150,000. She emphasized that Allen, who’s also known as “Shytown” or “Chi-town,” had been banned from going into any liquor establishments since he’s on probation.
Chief Criminal Prosecutor Eric Ohme said Allen had been released from prison Dec. 27 after serving time for second-degree assault and posses-sion of a stolen firearm. He said that Allen could face from 10 to 13 years in prison on the new charge under the standard sentence range if convicted.
Allen’s attorney, Peter Simpson of Coupeville, unsuccessfully requested a much lower bail, pointing out that even the police report suggests his client may not have started the fight.
“It’s unclear at this point who might have been the primary aggressor,” he said. “There seems to be some confu-sion about that.”
Detective Tony Slowik with the Oak Harbor Police Department investigat-ed the assault that occurred at Club Element at about 1 a.m. on Feb. 18. A witness told investigators that the fight started between Allen and another 26-year-old man after the man hugged a woman, which apparently upset Allen.
The witness said Allen grabbed the front of the other man’s shirt and the man pushed him back. The woman claimed the men started wrestling and fell to the floor; Allen was holding a bottle of Corona beer, broke the bottle on the floor and slashed the other man’s face, according to Slowik’s report.
The surveillance video from the club appears to show that the alleged victim first pushed Allen and Allen responded
by pulling him forward, causing him to fall to the floor. The video appears to show Allen punching the victim while he’s down, according to the police report.
The bouncers separated the two men and escorted Allen out of the club. A witness reported that blood “squirted and gushed onto the floor” from the victim, Slowik wrote. The man, who suf-fered several lacerations to the throat and chin, was transported to the hospi-tal and immediately taken into surgery. He was moved to the intensive care unit afterward and placed on a ventilator for several days, the police report states.
In an interview with detectives, the alleged victim admitted that he pushed Allen after he grabbed his shirt, but then Allen punched him. He said he didn’t even know he had been cut until he went into the bathroom.
The man said the doctors told him that one of the lacerations was about 2 centimeters from piercing his carotid artery. He received 70 stitches.
In an interview with the detective, Allen said the other man pushed him first, so he punched him one time in
the head. He denied punching the man while he was on the floor and said he didn’t remember if he was holding a beer bottle, the report states.
Allen was the victim in a drive-by shooting that occurred more than a year ago, on New Year’s Eve, in Oak Harbor. The incident also started at the Element nightclub, where Allen got into an altercation with a group of women. Someone hit him over the head with a pink liquor bottle outside the club.
One of the women in the fight called her relatives, who went after Allen. One of the men shot at his car twice on NW Cathlamet.
After being shot at, Allen drove home to his apartment. He happened to see a woman, who he mistakenly thought was involved in the fight at the nightclub, standing outside a neighboring apart-ment building. He walked over, pointed a gun at her and uttered a threatening remark. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year and five months in prison, but was apparently released early for good behavior.
Bail set at $150,000 for alleged throat slasher from oak harbor
Jessie Stensland / Whidbey News-Times
Oak Harbor resident Shaunyae Allen appeared in court Thursday. He’s accused of assaulting a man with a beer bottle at an Oak Harbor nightclub.
said. “It’s been a big positive for the maintenance depart-ment.”
For the first time in the 20 years the district has had a locksmith, he gets his own workspace. Worley described his old workspace as a “clos-et.”
“Now, he’s got enough room to spread out. He’s increased his efficiency by 50 percent or more,” Worley said.
All of the staff members have enough room to lay out their supplies on shelves so they are easily visible and orga-nized, rather than searching in a box or getting in the way of other staff while searching for
supplies. “It takes a lot less time.
Productivity has increased because they’re not spending so much time on top of each other trying to sort it out,” said Bre Urness-Straight, who works with teachers and tech-nology.
Every workshop has its own garage doors so trucks can be unloaded or larger equipment can be pulled inside for main-tenance. Every workshop has its own phone and computer.
All of the furnishings and machinery are recycled. They were taken out of the old high school, the old maintenance facility or surplus, Worley said.
“That way, we were able to afford to do what we did,” Worley said.
Information services, which
is located in the same building as maintenance, is responsible for nearly 1,800 computers and approximately 3,500 network devices in the district.
“One of the cool things about this is we have places to put stuff,” said Bruce Roberts, director for information servic-es. The ability to put computer parts where technicians can see them increases efficiency.
“We’re doing this all for the classrooms so the faster we can get stuff out, the better,”
Roberts said.The new facility has much
more room for technicians. The 10 work stations allow them to work on more than one computer at once, a big step up from the folding tables that used to serve as desks.
Unlike the old building, the storage area for computer parts and equipment is con-nected to the building. Staff used to have to carry comput-ers and equipment across the parking lot but now, trucks
can pull into the storage area and deliver items directly into the building, Roberts said.
Another addition is the separate server room that also houses the district’s cable TV lines.
The new facility has a room where staff can record educa-tional videos about using com-puters and fixing problems, which will be available on their website, Roberts said.
The new facility is a “quan-tum leap” from the old build-ing, Roberts said.
Another octagonal building next door is the new ware-house, which is vastly larger than the old one, Worley said.
All school district materials and mail are delivered to the warehouse before distribution to the schools.
“Now, we’ve got a place we can lay down food and actually walk around it to see what we got,” Worley said, adding that they can get around both sides of the shelves with a forklift now.
There are garage doors for truck deliveries, making everything more efficient.
“This is just unbelievable,” Worley said.
There’s enough parking for staff, and vehicles are secure because the area is fenced off from the high school. A garage offers storage for man lifts and other machinery.
The grounds department cares for approximately 180 acres of grass, gardens, ball-
fields, sidewalks and parking lots, said school district com-munications director Joe Hunt. Now, the department has a shop in the warehouse that, by itself, is half the size of the space everyone used to work in. The shop is dry, warm and equipment can be pulled in through garage doors so staff can work on it.
The octagonal buildings, located behind the high school, were originally used as classrooms, but since they were oddly shaped, they rare-ly worked for teachers, Hunt said.
When the new Career-Tech building was finished three years ago, the octagonal buildings were used as pivot classrooms while remodeling the high school, but after that, they had no use.
The cost of tearing down the buildings would have been huge.
“That would have just been lost cash,” Worley said.
After passing the $54-mil-lion bond to renovate the high school in 2006, Superintendent Rick Schulte chose to invest the cash until it was needed, which he had done with past bonds, too. The interest that money earned entirely fund-ed this $5.4 million facilities remodeling project.
“Now they’re converted into something highly efficient that’ll help maintain the rest of the buildings,” Hunt said.
Remaining funding was used to build new dugouts, a warm-up area and more for the seniors baseball field and to build a soccer field and a softball field, located behind the new facilities. Currently, girls softball plays behind Hillcrest Elementary School. The new field will be put into use next year.
“It’s going to be one of the premier softball fields in the state. Next spring, this is going to be the bees’ knees for girls softball,” Worley said.

convicted of aggravated first-degree murder, which is defined as premeditated first-degree murder where one or more aggravating cir-cumstances exist. As Banks explained, aggravating cir-cumstances include the fact of multiple victims where the murders are part of a single plan, or the fact that murders were committed in the course of a robbery or burglary.
“In the Lambert murder case, it is possible that a jury could find one or both mur-ders were premeditated and that an aggravating circum-stance exists,” Banks wrote.
Banks said he weighed a number of factors in making
his decision not to pursue death. One is the strictly prac-tical consideration of whether he would be successful.
Banks concluded it was highly unlikely that a jury would impose the death pen-alty because of Lambert’s mental state at the time of the murders, which can be considered a mitigating fac-tor under state law. He said a News-Times story about a jail-house interview with Lambert helped convince him that mental health issues could be considered a mitigating factor.
“The evidence regarding Lambert’s history and his behavior on the day of the murders convinces me that one or more jurors would find that to be a mitigating circum-stance,” Banks wrote.
Statistics show that juries
in the state are very reluctant to impose the death penalty, and even when they do, the appeals process can reverse the sentence or delay it for decades. Juries in the state have sentenced murderers to death only 32 times out of nearly 300 aggravated murder cases since the death penalty statute was enacted in 1981. Of those 32 death sentences, 17 murderers had their sentenc-es reversed by higher courts. Of the other 15, six have been executed, one committed suicide, and eight remain on death row.
Banks also considered the wishes of the victims’ family members.
“A prosecutor must have an exceptionally strong rationale to pursue a capital prosecution, where doing so goes against
the wishes of the victims’ fami-lies,” he wrote. “In my judg-ment, this case is not strong enough to go against the wish-es of many family members.”
The prosecutor charged Lambert last October with first-degree murder in the death of George Lambert and first-degree kidnapping for allegedly tying up his great aunt with packing tape. Banks put off charging Lambert with the second murder until after he received a report on Lambert’s mental health from Western State Hospital. He received the report this week.
In an interview last week, Lambert said he was accused of assaulting three fellow patients while he was at the hospital. In one case, he said he was accused of stabbing a man in the ear and eye with a
sharpened tube of a pen. He denies the assaults.
On Monday, Banks said he will ask the court to allow him to amend the charges against Lambert to two counts of mur-der in the first degree, one count of kidnapping in the first degree, three counts of bur-glary in the first degree, one count of taking a motor vehi-cle and one county of unlawful possession of a firearm. The murder and kidnapping charg-es will be filed as domestic-violence related charges with special allegations and deadly weapon enhancements.
If convicted of all the charg-es, Lambert would face 58.5 to 78 years in prison under the standard sentencing range, plus an extra 15 years for the deadly weapon enhancements.
Banks calculated that if
Lambert is convicted of all the charges, the minimum time he will have to spend behind bars --- taking “good time” into account --- would be 71 years and eight months. Under state law, each murder conviction has a 20-year minimum during which time no early release or furlough can be granted and deadly-weapon enhancements are not eligible for good time credits.
While he’s not pursuing the death penalty, Banks said his goal is to make sure Lambert is never free again.
“The senseless brutality of the crimes has shocked and saddened our community,” he wrote. “It has inflicted incom-prehensible pain on Joshua Lambert’s extended family --- the families of the two mur-dered men.”

Your government
By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter
With one of the lowest local levies in the state, the Oak Harbor School District hopes the community will support an increase to the levy. The board wants to hear the pub-lic’s opinion as they begin budgeting for next school year in a series of Monday night meetings.
In the first meeting Feb. 21, Superintendent Rick Schulte gave a current budget status report. The district’s revenue of $48.15 million is a little less than budgeted but higher than the expenditures, which fall at $48.10 million.
For the 2012-2013 year, Schulte said the district has estimated that enrollment will remain at 5,300, as it has for the past three years.
As they begin budget-ing, however, uncertainty is everywhere. Gov. Chris Gregoire’s threat to cut Levy Equalization money is still a worry and rising fuel prices will affect transportation funding. Schulte said they know Federal Impact Aid funding will be down a few hundred thousand dollars this year because the district will be receiving the funds from three years ago, which were less than the district is paid now due to how the government allocated funds that year.
“Everybody is used to deal-ing with the uncertainty and
it’s no fun,” said school board member Peter Hunt. The budget has to be completed before the district knows its enrollment and funding num-bers for certain. However, as in the past, professionals like Schulte get the district through the process, Hunt said.
The current levy, includ-ing Levy Equalization money, which is the state levy match, yielded $4.2 million in 2012. That funds approximately 20 teachers, 20 fulltime-equiva-lent classified staff and $2 million for materials, supplies and operations.
The tax rate of 0.92 is one of the smallest in the state; the state average is $2.54. That means the average Washington state student receives nearly three times as much local funding as an Oak Harbor student.
Oak Harbor is at 29.8 per-cent of the legal levy limit. The majority of school dis-tricts in the state are already at the legal limit. If Oak Harbor increased its levy to the highest legal limit, it would receive approximately $11.4 million.
Over the past five years, the district has been making sizable cuts, including cutting 30 teachers, librarians and counselors, cutting 30 min-utes from the middle school day, cutting maintenance, grounds and custodial staff and cutting back on athletics
by trimming assistant coach-es and some tournaments. Staff took a 1.9 percent wage and salary cut and furlough days. The after-school activity bus that allowed after-school tutoring was cut, along with midday busing for everyday kindergarten. The district hasn’t purchased new text-books for three years.
“We’re making the same cuts that other people are but we started at a lower level,” Schulte said, adding that some of the results of these
cuts will become more appar-ent over time, like the elimi-nation of preventative mainte-nance and grounds staff.
However, the district has been successful in many ways. Massively remodeling the high school and build-ing the stadium raised school and community spirit, stu-dents win national competi-tions in computer-aided draft-ing, culinary, marketing and more, the high school offers a wide variety of classes and the levy funds elementary
art and physical education, which not every community offers, Schulte said.
“In some respects, we’re doing a lot better than we should be doing with the resources we have available,” Schulte said.
However, increasing the levy to just below the state average would fund so much more at the schools, Schulte said.
Schulte laid out what the district could have if its fund-ing was equal to that of neigh-boring districts.
For example, $700,000 per year would buy new text-books and keep them updat-ed and an additional $500,000 per year would keep technol-ogy updated. Special educa-tion could use $500,000 to re-hire staff and instructional assistants cut after federal stimulus money ran out, and to buy new technology.
To restore two grounds staff, two maintenance staff and four custodians, as well as replace equipment and vehicles that haven’t been replaced in years, Schulte would allocate $700,000 to maintenance and grounds.
Schulte said capital proj-ects could use $500,000 and athletics and activities, which are solely funded by the levy and Impact Aid, could use $700,000. To buy back every-day kindergarten and the activity bus and to deal with rising fuel costs, $500,000
needs to be allocated to trans-portation.
In order to save middle school assistant principals and high school dean posi-tions, administration needs $400,000. To restore the 1.9 percent pay cut and hours cut for classified staff, $700,000 is needed.
For the middle schools, $800,000 would restore the 30 minutes cut from the day and hire 10 out of 30 teachers who were cut.
This would add up to $6 million. With the addition of Levy Equalization and the current levy, the district would receive $11 million, “a little bit less than average,” Schulte said.
“I’m not saying we’re going to do everything on this,” Schulte said. “At this point, we have to cross things off.”
At future meetings, the board will address the issue of: “What are our kids going to do without if we don’t do these things?” Schulte said.
The school board asks the community to provide their input at these meet-ings, which will be Mondays, March 5, March 19, April 16 and April 23 at 6 p.m. in the district office, located at 350 S. Oak Harbor St.
“The more input we have, the better it will be,” Schulte said.

Letters to the editorWill�help� fund�a�recall
The new mayor seems to have the attitude he can do anything he desires with-out the slightest regard for what his constituents want. My thoughts are how did this egotistical, arrogant upstart get elected?
I see the mayor is now advertising for a new fire chief at a salary of $90,000 to $100,000 per year. I can-not help but wonder if this isn’t a smokescreen to com-ply with the law by naming a buddy? Unless there are criminal or moral issues involved, good manage-ment does not fire highly rated employees unless they already have a bet-ter replacement lined up. Apparently, this is not the case.
The cost the new mayor has laid on the Oak Harbor taxpayers is staggering. How much are the sever-ance packages? If Fire Chief Mark Soptich takes an early retirement, it will cost taxpayers thousands of dollars more; i.e., pay-ing two employees instead of one. Now we will have a new fire chief and who knows how competent that person will be? How will the employees react to the new chief? One thing for sure, they reacted well to Mr. Soptich’s leadership!
I do not know the oth-ers who the mayor axed, but I have been told they were all excellent employ-ees. However, as the mayor said, he does not answer to anyone.
In closing, please advise me if there is a recall about
to occur. I will be happen to help financially fund same.

Going�back� to�two-way
So I’ve been through our “new and improved” down-town a few times and a num-ber of things have become painfully obvious.
Backing into traffic when parked next to anything other than a convertible with its top down is not fun and I see the potential for accidents as a deterrent for some folks. I notice that there is no longer a traffic flow through town and have seen backups and confusion around the lights at Artie’s and at the bottom of Midway at Pioneer.
I think that these things are going to become issues in the near future and there will
be growing demand to return to the two-way format. Sadly (perhaps due to metropolitan narcissism and having a used car salesman for a mayor), it will cost us another large fortune to re-convert it.
I wonder why the initial design did not take into con-sideration the possibility that it might not work and make it possible to easily revert back to the logical two-way format? Given the depth of the contro-versy, it seems that this would have been the most prudent course of action.
I give it two years max before the construction equipment is back at work and we start throwing more scarce money and resources at the area.
It sure is pretty, though, ain’t it?

The days start getting longer in late December, but it usually takes weeks before we suddenly notice the differ-ence.
This week on Whidbey has been like that. Wednesday was dead-winter dark because of the thick gray clouds, rain and wind, but the sun returned Thursday and it seemed surprisingly early. It rose at 7:02 a.m. and set at 5:44 p.m., giving us 10 hours and 42 minutes of daylight. Those of us who arrived early to work and have an eastern expo-sure had to draw the shades to keep the sunlight off our eyeglasses and computer screens. By 7:58 the clouds had returned, but the weather forecasters were predicting a nice day, lasting until Friday when the rain was supposed to return.
This gentle and surprising transition from winter to spring gives us approximately two extra minutes of sun-light each morning and two extra minutes of sunlight each afternoon. It’s a calm, relaxing, natural cycle, one the mind and body can adjust to in nature’s time.
And then, daylight savings time comes along and ruins it all.
Daylight savings time this year occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 11, like a punch in the gut to the gentle rhythm of the seasons. One day the sun is rising at 6:35 a.m., the next day it rises at 7:03 p.m. This is an abomination. Nature was taking care of the time change in its own sweet way, and then Congress steps in to make a mess of it.
There is something called standard time, which is what happens when daylight savings time is not in effect. The study of time is dizzying so we won’t get into how standard time evolved. Suffice it to say that after the clock was invented the world had time, and it was standard. But Congress will fiddle with anything once it exists, from the clock to the Internet. So it couldn’t help but fiddle with the clock.
Congress now dictates the time the sun will rise and the time the sun will set. It’s hubris, and it’s annoying to people who enjoy the natural cycle of things and hate to reset the digits on the refrigerator clock, microwave clock, car clocks and wrist watches twice a year. It’s driving us cuck-oo, which reminds us there’s another clock whose hands must be moved forward one hour or we’ll wake up to find we missed Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood.
Congress should leave the clock alone. Who knows, it might discover that leaving things alone is generally the best course and many of its new laws and regulation are just a waste of time.
Quit fiddling with the clock

Responding to Al Williams’ “Soundoff” on Feb. 18:
“Gay marriage” is not about gay marriage. It’s about mar-riage. Percentages are irrelevant. Marriage is about people, not statistics. The issue is about ethics and equality of law not justification by behavior found in the “animal world.” Most people groups speak of a fall from grace, a paradise lost, and a curse upon both man and nature. Neither is now truly “natu-ral.”
Also, divine and human laws have often been modified and ultimate demands satisfied. Additionally, one day the laws of nature and the laws of nature’s God will also be changed. Jefferson, appealing to the laws of nature and of nature’s God, established the rights of nations
yet derived the unalienable rights of men directly from the creator, to whom even the laws of nature and the laws of nature’s God are subject.
You state: “It isn’t a choice … it’s determined by genetic specificity … environmental experiences.”
An emerging epigenetic energetic paradigm suggest otherwise. People who gain moral validation from a form of genetic determinism do well to reconsider. Biology is not what we thought (Drs. Jablonka and Lamb, Dawson Church, Ph.D, Lars Olov Bygren, Ph.D. and Bruce Lipton, MD). Good news to a family with Parkinson’s but not to a person who bases homosexuality on “I was born this way.” If I can genetically
determine a baby is gay then I can “cure” the world of homosexuals or abort homosexual babies as with Down syndrome babies or Chinese females. Thus, rights are properly rooted in the unchanging creator alone.
Paul, Jesus and Christians:People follow Jesus by indepen-
dent choice. Historical orthodoxy exposes error, plumbs truth and challenges “new” theology. Paul met Jesus personally on the Damascus Road and his authority came from what he did. The character of God was manifest through Paul with signs and the wonders authenticat-ing the message. Even first century sorcerers knew the apostles were dealing with a power they had never seen before. Paul’s was less strin-gent than Jesus, to whom calling a
brother a fool was hell worthy. We are all sinners. Christendom
addresses sin as Jesus did with the adulteress. Redemptive grace, com-passion, love are found in Christ and the Church. To call something sin is not rejecting the sinner. Scripture calls out sin, yet sinners are loved only if access to grace is left open and conscience freely exercised.
We must treat sinners gracefully. The homosexual community has done this toward the heterosexual culture despite our poor treatment of its members.
Under the law, people should be treated equally, under God, as conscience dictates. A civil union or marriage by a state agent or agency is equal treatment under the law. The right of clergy to refuse to marry is an exercise of their own
equal treatment under law and conscience. The state protects both access and conscience.
Muslim mullahs may decline marrying Jews and Christian minis-ters homosexuals. Rites and sacra-ments belong to the specific com-munity. Those seeking recognition via the sacraments of another group cannot do so on the basis of their terms but by the terms of the group being approached.
This protects conscience. The state, garnering existence from the consent of the governed, does this in reverse because it reflects those it has gained consent from. This pro-tects access. E Pluribus Unum.

Stop spectators at animal fights
Would there be animal fights if there weren’t any spectators? It’s the spectators who fuel dogfights and cock-fights with their admission fees and gambling wagers. Currently, there is no federal penalty for attending an ani-mal fight. Let’s change that now!
The Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act (S. 1947/H.R. 2492) has been introduced to prohibit knowing attendance at an organized animal fight and to impose additional penalties for exposing a child to this violence and blood-letting.
Please make a brief, polite phone call to Sen. Maria Cantwell 202-224-3441 and Sen. Patty Murray 202-224-2621, and Rep. Rick Larsen, 202- 225-2605, urging co-spon-sorship of S. 1947/H.R. 2492. Don’t forget to send a follow-up message.

community comes through for food
The Interfaith Coalition of Whidbey Island would like to thank the community of North Whidbey for their generous donation of food and money during our Feed the Need food drive held Saturday, Jan. 21. With the support of our community, the ICOWI collected 6,000 pounds of canned food and $1,000.15 for the Help House of North Whidbey.
Special thanks goes out to all the volunteers who col-
lected food items at our local grocery stores from shop-pers and delivered them to our collection van. It is a blessing to know we live in a community concerned with helping others in this time of economic need. Peace and blessings to all.

Decision needs to be repealed
The U.S. Supreme Court now has a chance to fix the enormous mistake it made in the Citizens United decision two years ago. A Montana case challenging that decision has just been appealed back to the court (American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock).
The Citizens United case said that corporations, as “people,” have a “free speech” right to spend unlimited sums of money to influence our elec-tions. Corporations, however, are not “people” recognized by the U.S. Constitution, and the “right to free speech” should never have been extended to them.
Since money clearly deter-mines the outcome in the vast majority of our elections, cor-porations, with their almost limitless supply of money, can always outspend “real” peo-ple and thereby literally and unfairly “buy” elections.
Unless the damage wrought by Citizens United is undone, democracy, as we have known it, is finished. Polls show that 80 percent of Americans want the Citizens United decision overturned. Hence, if the Supreme Court really wants to do the right thing, it can reflect the will of the people and use this oppor-tunity to correct the political mess it has created.

Sound Waters is first!This month’s Sound
Waters was our first Whidbey Green Seal certified event. If you haven’t yet heard, the Whidbey Green Seal was launched last July and so far 40 organizations have been certified. Churches, non-profits, businesses, schools and government offices may apply online at www.sustainablewhidbey.org/proj-ects/greenseal. Applications include a checklist that will steer organizations toward reducing waste, saving ener-gy, conserving water, reduc-ing toxins and supporting the island community. Your organization can check off whatever applies and see if it scores high enough for cer-tification.
But wait! There’s more!The 17th Annual Sound
Waters Conference coor-dinated by the WSU Beach Watchers of Island County became the first to qualify as a Whidbey Green Seal event, which is a new category. Sound Waters crew planned carefully to reduce waste. After hosting 530 people in a day-long conference with over 60 classes, lunch and snacks, they generated only nine pounds of garbage. The rest was recycled or composted. A parking area close to the entrance was designated for carpools. And those traveling by bus got prizes.
These and other efforts made Sound Waters the per-fect event to spotlight this new aspect of the Whidbey Green Seal. For more information on planning a Whidbey Green Seal event, contact Cathy D’Almeida at [email protected]

LetterS to the editor
NEWS-TIMES STAFF
It’s back to the future as the former editor of the South Whidbey Record returns and the current editor leaves the island for a new opportunity.
Brian Kelly, editor of the South Whidbey Record for the past seven years, is leaving at the end of next week to take anoth-er position with Sound Publishing.
Kelly has been named editor of the Bainbridge Island Review, a weekly newspaper with a long his-tory in a competitive mar-ket.
“This is a great oppor-tunity for Brian and we are happy to keep him in the Sound Publishing fam-ily,” said Marcia Van Dyke, publisher of The South Whidbey Record and Whidbey News-Times.
A familiar face to many South Whidbey residents will replace Kelly. Jim Larsen, who for the past two years has held the title of supervising edi-tor of both The Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record, will take over as editor of the South Whidbey Record, a job he held for 20 years before moving to the North Whidbey paper in 2001.
“We’re thrilled to have Jim Larsen back on South Whidbey where he knows the people, the territory and the issues,” Van Dyke said.
Larsen said he will take a more hands-on approach with his new job title at The Record, while he remains editor of the Whidbey News-Times as well.
Both papers now share a building in Coupeville, and Larsen said the talent-ed and experienced news staff will make the transi-tion easier.
South Whidbey Record readers will see a new byline in the paper. Justin Burnett will cover Langley city government, which is where Kelly spent much of his time as a reporter. For the past two years, Burnett has been cover-ing Oak Harbor city gov-ernment, and prior to that he covered Coupeville for another paper.
“Justin has won many awards for his thorough reporting of city govern-ment,” Larsen said. “He’ll have no trouble picking up where Brian left off in Langley.”
Burnett’s other beat will be Island County govern-ment, where he will be cov-ering stories for both the Record and News-Times. Stories of general interest will run in both papers, while stories of particular interest to South Whidbey will run in The Record.
Record readers will also be seeing more sto-ries written by veteran reporter and assistant edi-tor Jessie Stensland, who will cover crime and court stories for both papers.
Meanwhile, she will take over for Burnett in cover-ing Oak Harbor, a beat she has covered in the past.
Remaining with the Record are Patricia Duff, Island Life editor who covers the important arts and entertainment beat on South Whidbey while also writing features and other stories. Ben Watanabe will still be reporting sports, school district news and other assignments.
“With Ben and Patricia helping, we expect a smooth transition as Brian leaves,” Larsen said.
Kelly’s first day as edi-tor of Bainbridge Island Review is March 5.
He has been editor of the South End newspaper for nearly seven years. During the last four years of his tenure, the Record won more than 75 state and national journalism awards, including “General Excellence” honors from the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association in 2011. The publication also earned recognition as a “Newspaper of the Year” for being one of the top newspapers for its size in the United States and Canada in 2008.
“It’s been an honor to work with such a tal-ented team,” Kelly said. “Everyone --- the writers, artists, the folks in the front office, advertising, the carriers --- they’ve been top-notch.”

THE WHALES HAVE OH-RRIVED!
By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter
A 35-year-old Oak Harbor woman is accused of going to a pregnant woman’s home with armed hench-men, demanding drugs and threatening the victim, court documents allege.
Prosecutor charged the suspect, Sheila Deitz, in Island County Superior Court Feb 5 with felony harassment.
A Rolling Hills resident reported that she and her boyfriend answered a knock on the door at about 1 a.m. on Dec. 8, 2011. They were met by a woman, later identified as Deitz, and two armed and masked men, according to a report by Sgt.
Mike Beech with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.
One of the men was wear-ing an orange ski mask and the other had a red bandana across his face; one man was armed with an assault rifle and the other was carrying a shotgun, Beech’s report states.
The woman announced that she was “Sam Theirstein’s mom, Sheila” and she wanted them to give her son’s marijuana back,” the report states.
The woman who lives at the home told them she was pregnant and didn’t know what they were talking about. As a result, Deitz and the two men walked away; one of the men apologized and said it was a misunderstanding.
One of the suspects, howev-er, threatened to return and harm everyone in the house if the police were called, the police report states.
The next day, Deitz called the woman and threatened to kill her if she didn’t turn over the drugs, the report states. Beech identified Deitz from her phone number.
In an interview with the deputy, Deitz explained that her son, Theirstein, was supposed to sell marijuana for her, but he claimed he was robbed by the pregnant woman and her boyfriend. Deitz initially believed her son’s story and went to the Rolling Hills home to retrieve the drugs. She took along two men as backup, but she claimed she didn’t
know they were armed, Beech wrote in his report.
Deitz said she realized her son’s story was far-fetched while talking to the alleged victims and left with the men, though she alleg-edly called and threatened the woman the next day, the report indicates.
Beech spoke with Theirstein, who claimed the alleged victims in the case had robbed him of two ounces of pot, his wallet and a cellphone.
Beech, however, speculat-ed that Theirstein stole the marijuana from his mother and made up the story about being robbed to cover him-self, the report states.

By JIM WALLERSports editor
Here’s an update on Coupeville and Oak Harbor high school graduates who have continued their athletic careers on the courts, tracks and pools of colleges around the United States this winter sports season.
Oak Harbor brothers John and Price Hu helped the Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, N.J.) win the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference swim title this winter.
John Hu, a junior, won his third consecutive Swimmer of the Meet honors at the conference meet while win-ning three events. During his career he has earned four all-conference awards and set three school records.
Price Hu, a freshman, fin-ished second to his brother in the 200-yard butterfly at the conference meet and placed fifth in two other events.
Coupeville’s Lily Doyle, a sophomore at Vassar, placed 22nd in the 200 back-stroke at the Liberty League Championships and 19th in the 100 back at the Seven Sister Championships earlier this season.
Oak Harbor’s Jessica Denmon, a sophomore at first-place Skagit Valley College (14-1, 19-6), is “hav-ing a great year,” according to women’s basketball coach Steve Epperson.
Epperson added, “She has made a great contribu-tion this year, and she is the best rebounding point guard
I have ever seen in my 35 years.”
T h o u g h Denmon is only 5-feet, 6-inches tall, she is ninth in the league in rebounding with over eight per game.
She also aver-ages 12.6 points per game, leads the team in min-utes played and assists (83) and is second in steals (46).
Yakima Valley College men’s basketball coach Ray Funk said C o u p e v i l l e ’ s Jason Bagby “has been a solid contributor to our program this year.” Funk added, “He has provided a tough-ness, energy and coachability that all teams need in its players.
“He has im--proved his game and we are look-ing forward to what he will be like next year with even more improvement.”
The 6-4 fresh-man is averaging 4.5 points per game for the Yaks (9-4, 16-9), is third on the team in field goal percentage (48) and is fifth in rebounds (65) and steals (23).
Another college freshman from Coupeville, 6-6 Hunter Hammer, competes for Everett Community College (2-13, 5-20) and is averaging 2.4 points a game and is sev-enth on the team in rebounds
(37).Coach Larry Walker said,
“Hunter has made great con-tributions to our team because of how hard he works and his positive attitude. This year he has backed up Devin Andrew, a two-year starter…Hunter has not played a lot but that has not stopped him from being a great teammate and a very hard worker.”
Megan Smith and Ashley Manker, former Coupeville classmates, are sophomores on the Peninsula College (11-4, 17-8) women’s basketball team.
The 5-6 Smith is sixth on the team in scoring (4.95 per game), while the 5-10 Manker is 10th in rebounding (1.8 per game).
Coupeville’s Cody Peters, a 6-6 junior, is red-shirting this season at Western Oregon University (10-6, 17-8) after playing two years at Whatcom Community College.
Oak Harbor’s Shantae Young, a sophomore, has produced Washington State University’s second-best long jump (17-10.25) and triple jump (38-9.5) marks this indoor track season. She also posted the Cougars’ sixth-best time in the 60 meters (7.94).
Coupeville’s Kyle King, a senior at Eastern Washington University, is running the 3,000 and 5,000 meters in the Big Sky Conference indoor championship meet this weekend. He is the defend-ing 5,000-meter champion.
This season he has earned personal bests in the mile
(4:12) and 5,000 meters (14:09).
After red-shirting ear-lier in his career, he has one year of eligibly left and will compete at the University of Oklahoma next year while attending graduate school.
King will receive a degree in communications from Eastern this spring and hopes to enter the Masters of Intercollegiate Sports Administration program at Oklahoma next fall.
King’s brother, Tyler, a freshman at the University of Washington, has posted the fourth-best 3,000-meter time (8:16.81) and eighth-best mile time (4:12.01) for the Huskies this indoor season. This weekend he runs the
3,000 in the Mountain Pacfic Sports Federation Indoor Championships.
Central Washington University junior Krissy McGill from Oak Harbor has the Wildcats’ second-best indoor 3,000-meter time (11:50.66) and third-best mile time (5:54.83).
Oak Harbor’s Adrianna Royal, a freshman at Sacramento State University, is red-shirting this indoor season but is expected to compete for the Hornets this spring.
Recently she was named to the Big Sky all-academic cross country team, and her team earned national all-aca-demic all-American honors for Division I schools.

Berta graduated from Elma High School and moved to Aberdeen, work-ing at a cabinet shop, furni-ture manufacturer and final-ly at the Aberdeen Plywood Mill. She was married to Don Wallin in Aberdeen in 1947. From that marriage, three sons were born.
In 1958 Don accepted a position with Everett Trust and Savings Bank and the family moved to Oak Harbor, making this their home.

Berta’s greatest love was her family. She was con-stantly keeping up to date on her family and her grand-children. She loved follow-ing their successes. She was very proud of her grandchil-dren as they completed col-lege and advanced degrees.
Berta enjoyed Bible study, reading, history classes at the senior center, knitting,

Visitacion (Vesing) Lewis
Visitacion “Vesing” Dejarlo Lewis was born April 14, 1950 in Culaba, Leyte, Philippines, to Teofilo Dejarlo and Beatriz Verè.
Vesing, as she was known to her family and friends, was a beautician by trade as well as a dedicated home-maker, wife, mother, grand-mother and great grand-mother. She was vibrant, full of life, and had a very contagious, happy spirit that infected everyone she came across. She was a devout follower of Christ and she loved every member of her family unconditionally. It is a testament to her personal impact on friends and family that they have arrived from throughout the country and the world to bid her fare-well.
Vesing enjoyed fishing and crabbing with her fam-ily and playing mahjong and bingo with the girls. She was a very giving and helpful per-son. When catching numer-ous large salmon at Fort Casey she would share her catch with neighbors. Just one week prior to her pass-ing, she won the jackpot at a local bingo and shared her winnings among friends and family. Sharing was typical of Vesing and she often helped friends going through life’s problems.
She loved to cook and always made sure a guest in her home was well fed. When she made a batch of lumpia and adobo, her adult children clamored to stop by and take some home with them as they were regarded as the best kept secrets in town. Fun loving and entertaining,
she also enjoyed singing on her karaoke machine, often evoking light-hearted laugh-ter as she would completely butcher her favorite Whitney Houston ballads.
These qualities and these small examples from her life are what made her so lovable and are the reasons why her presence will be so sorely missed.
Vesing leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 41 years, James D. Lewis; five children, Marshall of Seattle, Mike of San Francisco, Pamela of Kent, David of Las Vegas, and Luz Semba of Shizuoka, Japan; sisters, Rucela Dejarlo of Infanta, Philippines, Abelina Olidan of Culaba, Philippines, and Amelita Dejarlo of Culaba, Philippines; brother Romeo Dejarlo of Culaba, Philippines; five grandchil-dren; one great grandchild; and a large network of friends and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her son James Lewis, Jr., her mother Beatriz and father Teofilo, her sisters Pacita Cebuano and Lilia Abanilla, and broth-ers Guillermo and Roque Dejarlo.
Funeral Mass was held Feb. 24 at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Oak Harbor. A Graveside ser-vice followed at Maple Leaf Cemetery in Oak Harbor.

Anna E. Angell
Anna Elizabeth Angell died Feb. 15, 2012, at her home in Oak Harbor at the age of 87. She was born in Dayton, Ohio to Steve and Louise (Bakos) Veg, Hungarian immigrants. Her parents had come across the U.S. by covered wagon, settling in a Hungarian com-munity in Dayton. Her fam-ily was very poor and she was raised with old world values.
Anna was married to Steve Galovics in 1945 and they remained in Dayton. From this marriage, two children were born. At 45 years of age, Steve died from a heart attack. Anna met Lewis Angell and in 1958, they were married. Lewis had been in the Navy and left and soon discovered that the military offered the best financial opportunities for him, so he re-enlisted. From this second marriage, two additional sons were born.
The Navy sent the Angells to Rhode Island and then on to Norfolk and finally to Cuba and Guantanamo Bay, where they spent two years. This was during the cold war and the Cuban missile crisis. They moved on to El Cajon, Calif., and in 1971, made their way to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and retirement.
Anna found work as a housekeeper at Whidbey Island Manor, a position she held for more than 12 years. Following the death of her husband, Anna remained in Oak Harbor.
Son Mark Angell and wife Peggy began building a new home on the family property and moved Mom in with
them. Anna remained with them until her death.
Anna enjoyed volun-teering at Whidbey Island Manor, working with resi-dent activities. She also vol-unteered with Island Thrift for many years. She always enjoyed cooking and serv-ing others. She always put others before herself.
Anna is survived by four children and their spouses, Steve Galovics and wife Barbara of Chesapeake, Va., Angela Braidic of Oak Harbor, Lewis Angell and wife Lynn of Fort Riley, Kan., and Mark Angell and wife Peggy of Oak Harbor; and by eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, March 1, at 4 p.m. at Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, Oak Harbor, with Gary Wallin as life celebrant. A recep-tion will follow for family and friends. Cremation was held.

Lillian Dean Huffstetler
Lillian Dean Huffstetler was a descendant from the Kinney Sea Captains of Nova Scotia who arrived on Whidbey Island in the 1800s and from the Dean family that arrived out of Iowa in 1911.
Lillian Dean Huffstetler was born on Dec. 15, 1921, and was the third of four chil-dren born on Aloha Farm near Ebey’s Landing. She passed away at her home on Feb. 16, 2012.

By NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter
Local tour groups are gear-ing up for the annual return of some popular visitors to Saratoga Passage.
Gray whales are making their annual trip to the area in search of easy eats. They spend most of the spring feeding in the passage, which provides a chance for whale watchers to get a close look
at the marine mammals. Deception Pass Tours will
offer gray whale tours out of the Oak Harbor Marina starting the first weekend in March. Co-owner Terica Taylor said that the speed of their boat, which reaches 40 mph, means a faster trip and thus allows more time for people to spot the whales.
The first gray whale report-ed in 2012 has been roaming Puget Sound since January. Since then, it has been seen between the Langley and the Edmonds ferry dock, said Howard Garrett with the Orca Network, adding that there have been fleet-ing glimpses of the whales swimming in the South Puget Sound area.
The gray whales generally visit Saratoga Passage start-ing in late February and early March and stay until late April and early May, Garrett said.
The mudflats around Saratoga Passage provide a rich source of ghost shrimp, one of the whales’ favorite foods. The whales blast a jet of water into the mud and then they inhale the cloudy water, filter out the food and squirt out the remaining sedi-ment, Garrett said.
He said Langley, Fox Spit and Holmes Harbor on South
Whidbey Island during high tide provide the best oppor-tunity to view the visiting whales.
“They’ll work an area for hours at a time,” Garrett said.
Gray whales have been seen in Crescent Harbor near the Seaplane Base and, two years ago, they were spot-ted in Admiralty Inlet near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
The Orca Network records whale sitings and people seeing a gray whale should make a report by calling 866-ORCANET. The infor-mation collected about the
whales’ movement and loca-tion is given to researchers and also sent out on an email list of approximately 6,500 names.
“It sort of refreshes our awareness that there are whales living and breathing right under our very noses,” Garrett said.
Taylor said Deception Pass Tours will offer tours through Saratoga Passage starting March 3 and con-tinuing through April. Taylor said 1,700 tickets have already been sold. To kick-off the tour season, the local tour company will sponsor a viewing of “The Big Miracle”
at the Oak Harbor Cinemas Friday evening, March 2. The first 100 people seeing the whale movie will get in for free. Then, on Saturday, March 3, people waiting to board can participate in a drawing to win free admis-sion. The company is also offering discounted admis-sion on March 3.
The Victoria Clipper, up from Seattle, will be mak-ing two-hour stopovers in Coupeville on Saturdays and Sundays for the next two months. Those trips will pro-vide a boost for local busi-nesses.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, non-apolo-getically—to say “no” to other things. The way to do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside.
--Stephen CoveyOn Wednesday evening of this week, I stepped
inside my church, listened to quiet music, prayed and eventually walked to the front of the sanctu-ary. When my turn came, my pastor imposed ashes on my forehead in the shape of a cross. Symbolizing our origins from the dust and our eventual return to the dust, he reminded me that I join Christian believers across the globe to begin the Lenten season.
Just as people worldwide respond in vari-ous ways to the yearly four seasons, Christians celebrate various seasons as well. This one is 40 days long, reminiscent of the 40 days Jesus spent praying and fasting in the wilderness to build the spiritual energies he would need for his ministry.
To this end, Christians around the world are encouraged to step back from some of their nor-mal distractions and focus on living their lives led by God’s spirit. Some people deny themselves favorite foods or activities; some focus on prayer and study the scriptures; some work toward church membership; some take on a project that seeks to improve the lives of others in need. Whatever the choice, the goal is to reestablish values and live with greater purpose.
With all that can distract us, this can be a tall order. Temptations to change one’s goal for these 40 days is everywhere, just as it was for Jesus who weathered a series of temptations dur-ing his ministry.
The first was a challenge to display for all to see his arsenal of spiritual power. In other words, show off what he was capable of doing to lay proof of his identity. The second challenge dared Christ to accept dangerous physical risks with the promise that in doing so he would be spared physical suffering. After all, wouldn’t God surely save his own son from pain? In the third chal-lenge, Jesus was tempted with material rewards often associated with royalty; things that hold great worldly value, even today. Why live mod-estly when riches and power and popularity were within reach? Why not live as kings are destined to live?
Scripture tells us that Jesus regularly stepped away from his ministry to pray, alone. He sought God’s courage and resolve, guidance and love with each step of his ministry. In so doing, his resolve to stay the course and remain committed to his purpose on earth never faltered.
Each year, the season of Lent gifts us with time to clarify with God who we are to Him, iden-tify what we are to accomplish with our lives and make the choice to challenge our physical and mental resolves.
We do all this not because we have to, but because we know that in so doing we grow stronger and the world improves.
Step back from life’s distractionsFAITHFUL LIVINGBy Joan Bay Klope

Human trafficking is like putting a barcode on some-one’s freedom and Oak Harbor High School student Ryan Delbrouck’s artwork shows just that.
Delbrouck’s art, depicting a barcode in the shape of a per-son, won the human trafficking program art contest through Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor. The numbers on the barcode spell, “Help me.”
Delbrouck was awarded a monetary prize at a recent Soroptimist meeting and Oak Harbor High School art teacher Kit Christopherson was award-ed money for the art program. Delbrouck can expect to see his design on t-shirts that will read, “People are not for sale.”
Human trafficking means ille-gally trading humans for use in sexual, labor and other exploita-tion. This is generally done via manipulation and threats.
Seattle and Portland are at the top of the list of areas for human trafficking, said Stephanie Smith, past president and member of Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor.
“There’s really the myth that it’s a situation that happens over there in other countries,” Smith said.
The truth is that the peo-ple involved aren’t from other countries or even other cities; usually, they are from the same area that they are being traf-ficked in. Socioeconomic sta-tus has no effect; human traf-
ficking can happen to anyone, Smith said.
Soroptimist fights against human trafficking by educat-ing the public through the Northwest Coalition Against Trafficking and through local events like the high school art contest.
“We thought it was important to involve high school students because high school and junior high are the most vulnerable,” Smith said.
When Christopherson told the class about the project and about human trafficking, he said he received an immense
reaction from students to the contest, especially when they learned that human trafficking happens as close to home as Burlington. The common com-ment among students was that they’d seen the movie “Taken” and assumed human traffick-ing mainly happens in Europe.
“The response was pretty overwhelming. Most students were passionate about design-ing a logo to help. It struck the students on a personal level,” Christopherson said. “It wasn’t just something you hear on the news. It’s something a fellow student could be involved in.”
“I think generally when stu-dents are informed, they want to make a difference, they want to make an impact in their area and help,” Christopherson added, noting the work ethic and concentration of the stu-dents as they worked on the art project.
“It meant a lot,” Delbrouck said of his design. While other students also used the barcode idea, he chose to use it as a sim-ple silhouette. “I’ve never been personally affected but to hear how close it was to where we live, I wanted to spread aware-ness.”
The contest received approx-imately 50 entries. Students voted to narrow down the top artworks, which Smith judged. Coincidentally, she chose Delbrouck’s artwork as the best, which students had also decided on as the winner.
“Quite frankly, I was shocked there were that many quality
pieces,” Smith said.But the idea has spread fur-
ther than Oak Harbor.Through a conference in
Portland, Laurie Chin Sayres, a filmmaker who founded Labragirl Pictures, Ltd., in Colorado, found out about the art project and hopes to use the students’ images in her own documentary about human trafficking.
“Here’s this small little island and this high school and this project has reached across the United States,” Smith said.
As another way to spread awareness, Soroptimist will sponsor a presentation by a sur-vivor at the high school in May. The presenter is 19 years old and from Oregon. She earned a 4.0 grade point average in school, played volleyball and she was a normal teenager until she got involved with the wrong man, Smith said.
The man drugged her and forced her to cooperate with him through manipulation and threatening to hurt her sister, who he had photos of.
“It’s a lot of fear tactics, and manipulation keeps them quiet for a period of time,” Smith said.
The survivor will speak to students about warning signs and her experiences.
“She is a remarkable young lady despite what she’s been through,” Smith said.

Student art fights human trafficking
By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter
Finding a job is a full-time job, according to T.J. Larrick, and those search-ing can use the helpful hints and leads found at Job Club.
Larrick, employment spe-cialist for the Department of Social and Health Services Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, meets with the unemployed, under-employed and those look-ing for a better job every Monday at 1 p.m. at the Oak Harbor Library for free.
He completely decon-structs how to get a job by teaching tips for writing better resumes and cover letters and answering ques-tions in job interviews, but his teaching goes further to include what employers are looking for and how the group can express that they possess the skills an employer seeks.
Larrick teaches the group a pro-active approach: follow up on applications and set up informational interviews with the company; those could potentially become job interviews.
“I focus a lot on how to help them help themselves,” Larrick said. “Part of it is for me to teach and also for peo-ple to come in here and work on something they need help on.” Be that a cover letter or interview techniques, every-one is at a different stage in their employment plan and Larrick understands that.
With the difficult econ-omy, many people who haven’t held a job recently
or who were laid off are having trouble securing a new job.
“It’s as hard to learn how to find work as it is to find work,” said Deborah Hardy, who frequently attends Job Club.
It’s very difficult to get a job these days, much less figure out how to apply for them, Hardy said. It’s a different process now than in her younger years when searching for jobs via the internet and filling out computer forms weren’t involved.
“We work on strategies to work smarter. It’s very competitive to get a job. It’s different than it used to be; you have to really plan,” Larrick said.
The club has been going on for six months and was started because Whidbey Island had no job clubs. With the help of Skagit Valley College, Oak Harbor Library and Work Source, the program has expanded.
“Resources are tight, so it makes sense for everyone to get together and share those resources,” Larrick said.
Approximately 12 people show up each week, Larrick
said. Generally, half the participants have attended before, which is beneficial because Larrick finds job leads tailored to the indi-viduals between meetings.
Colleen Gregory has been coming to Job Club for three months in her search for a chef job. Larrick handed her job listings he’d found seeking chefs and cooks.
“It gives me information on jobs and I learn things like how to fill out resumes and applications,” Gregory said about the club.
Knowing how to answer the questions potential employers throw at her is one of her biggest hurdles
for landing a job, Gregory said.
The club can help with that. A general meeting consists of Larrick handing out job leads, talking about unemployment trends and teaching about a topic.
A couple of weeks ago, the club focused on answer-ing the question posed by potential employers: “Tell me about yourself and why I should hire you.” Larrick helped the group develop templates that they can work on at home.
“The nice thing about a club is you can practice and make your mistakes here and you won’t lose a job, but it might help you get one,” Larrick said.
Larrick did have some positive news for the group. Unemployment in Island County is down to 8.2 per-cent. It had been between 10 and 13 percent.
While Whatcom and
Snohomish counties sport similar numbers, Skagit County is now at 10 percent unemployment.
“For the first time in a
very long time, Island County is decent compared to the others,” Larrick told the group.
“There’s a good percent-age of people that get jobs by going through job clubs,” Larrick said. “It’s a little bit of information, a little bit of training and hopefully, a lot of what you need and what’s going to benefit you.”
Anyone can attend Job Club Mondays at 1 p.m. at the meeting room down the hall from the Oak Harbor Library, located at 1000 SE Regatta Dr.
