Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve President Michael Monson has consistently maintained he never received a jet noise disclosure when he bought his home in Coupeville,

A real estate agent, however, said that’s incorrect.After checking records a few weeks ago, a

Windermere Real Estate agent said that he discov-ered that Monson had, in fact, initialed a noise dis-closure form, apparently at the time he purchased

his home. The disclosure that Monson apparently initialed

is Form 22W, a Multiple Listing Service-endorsed form widely used since 1993 by Whidbey Island real estate agents.

Windermere representative Joe Mosolino com-mented online last week that Monson did receive, and initialed, Noise Disclosure Form 22W on Sept. 9 2003.

plaint hotline.The Navy resumed touch-

and-go operations Monday, Jan. 6, at Outyling Field Coupeville. Residents in the area have com-plained about the increase in the

number of operations at OLF in recent years. COER sued the Navy in July and are calling for a closure of OLF.

Man charged for stabbing man in chest

Base officials meet with commissioner, Coupeville mayorBy JANIS REIDStaff reporter

As a result of meetings with local elected officials, the Navy has committed to minimizing the impact of touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville.

The Navy suspended jet train-ing at the Coupeville-based air-field in May, but resumed them Jan. 6.

Among the measures the Navy plans to adopt is avoiding week-ends, school testing dates and major festivals.

Navy officials exceeded the number of expected operations in 2011 and 2012, completing more than 9,000 operations both years.

To address resident concerns, the Navy has announced plans to keep the number of operations at 6,120 per year as originally promised.

A 22-year-old Oak Harbor man accused of stabbing his sister’s boy-friend in the chest has “an exten-sive history” of domestic violence toward his family in Skagit County, court documents indicate.

Joshua Greene could face more than a decade in prison if convicted of the counts against him.

Prosecutors charged Greene Wednesday with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon, fourth-degree domestic violence assault and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence.

Under the first-degree assault charge, Greene is accused of intending to “inflict great bodily harm.”

The Island County Sheriff’s Office reported that the 26-year-old victim hasn’t been cooperative with the investigation.

Two 911 calls were received from a Whitney Drive residence near Oak Harbor just after 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 4. The first was a hang-up call.

In the second, the victim report-ed that “he had fallen on a knife and punctured his heart,” according to the report by Deputy Scott Fortin.

Deputies arrived to find the shirtless man standing at the end of a driveway, his upper body covered in blood. The deputies saw that a laceration in the center of his chest was bleeding, the report states.

The victim initially reported that he fell on a couch and a knife was in the cushion.

The man later told deputies that Greene and his girlfriend —  Greene’s sister — had been arguing and Greene came after the woman.

The man said he intervened and Greene stabbed him, the report states.

The woman also said Greene had assaulted her and that her boy-friend tried to stop him. She said she tried to call 911, but Greene took her cell phone and broke it.

The deputies arrested Greene, who had blood on the side of his face.

They asked him where the knife was and he said it was in the kitch-en cabinet, Fortin wrote.

Greene is being held in Island County jail on $50,000 bail.

Teenage driver ends on high wiren A 16-year-old Greenbank resi-dent turned a little too fast on Deer Lake Road last week and ended up suspending his Toyota Camry on a power pole’s guy-wire. The teenager and his pas-senger escaped injury, but it did create quite a spectacle. Sheriff deputies said that a combination of the vehicle’s speed and the road’s slick surface resulted in the accident.

Freeland resident wins holiday rafflen Freeland resident Cindy Weed won $1,000 from the holiday cheer drawing organized by the Langley Chamber of Commerce. The raffle was implemented to entice residents to shop at South Whidbey businesses during the holiday season. Participating businesses game one ticket for every $20 spent. Whidbey Island Bank donated the prize money.

Jerome resigns from port positionn South Whidbey port commis-sioner Chris Jerome is resigning his position on the elected board because he has accepted a job in North Carolina that begins Jan. 9. His wife, Langley City-councilwoman-elect Margot Jerome, will live in Langley at least until their daughter gradu-

ates in June. She will continue to serve on the Langley City Council.

Ramp revamp talked by portn The commissioners for the Port of South Whidbey held a special meeting recently to discuss strategies to rebuild the Possession Beach ramp. The commissioners also received an update on the South Whidbey Harbor project.

Harbor project enters finalen The South Whidbey Harbor

expansion project is nearing completion. The $1.7 million project entered the end-phase with workers installing piping and electrical work for 400 feet of additional dock space to the harbor.

Gill, Jerome, Neff join city counciln Two new members of the Langley City Council took their seats on the elected body Monday. Council mem-bers Thomas Gill and Margot Jerome took their seats along with Rene Neff, who was re-elected. All three ran unop-posed during November’s general election.

The Washington State Patrol’s policy of forgiving lawmakers for speeding dur-ing session is simply not fair, said State rep. Dave Hayes.

The Republican representative from District 10 said he’s pre-filing a bill that would clarify the authority of law enforcement to issue tickets to legisla-tors, regardless of what’s happening in the hallowed halls of Olympia.

“Elected officials shouldn’t get special privileges,” he said. “That’s the kind of thing that makes people cynical of their government.”

Hayes, who’s also a patrol sergeant with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, said an article in The News Tribune about the issue spurred him to action. The article states that the State Patrol and some other law enforcement agencies will not issue speeding tickets to state lawmakers 15 days before or during a legislative session.

The State Patrol cites a section of the state constitution, which states that members of the legislature “shall not be subject to any civil process during the session of the Legislature, nor for 15 days next before the commencement of each session.”

Hayes said the provision was written in 1889, when it took some lawmakers days to travel to the Capitol on horse-back; it was intended to prevent them from being obstructed on their journey.

The bill, he said, clarifies that a traffic citation is not “a civil process” under the state constitution, clearing away for troopers to hand out tickets to speedy

legislators.Island County Sheriff Mark Brown

said his department is “absolutely not” among the agencies that follow the policy.

“Hell no,” he said. “I’m not going to show favoritism to anybody.”

Brown retired as a state trooper before being elected sheriff. He said he heard “a rumor” while with the State Patrol about a policy of forgiving law-makers of speeding tickets during ses-sion, but he never formally informed of the practice. He said he never worked in or around Olympia.

Hayes said the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office also doesn’t subscribe by the practice.

“If I stopped a legislator, would not hesitate to issue that person a ticket,” he said.

Hayes said his bill is nearly iden-tical to one that Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, introduced in 2005, which went nowhere. This year, Hayes said, he’s “going to work it hard” and — hope-fully — push it through.

Hays said the bill would ensure that lawmakers aren’t exempt from any kind of noncriminal traffic ticket.

Easing restrictions on small farms and improving education were the top con-cerns among residents at a meeting with state Rep. Norma Smith this week.

At a meeting in Clinton, Smith’s hometown, ahead of the 63rd Washington State Legislature, a couple dozen people let their representa-tive know what mattered to them.

The divide the state route creates and how the South Whidbey area is largely passed by ferry commuters eager to speed up the 35 mph zone was a big concern of Doug Hofius, a member of the Clinton Community Council. He told Smith that more speed limit signs are not the solution.

Smith has concerns with the WSDOT and its ferries division, citing the recent added cost of the Highway 520 bridge replacement, which is estimated at $170 million. One of the issues in the legislature, said Smith, is addressing the differing needs of urban places such as Seattle or Everett and rural areas like Whidbey Island.

“That’s where we have

most of our misunderstand-ings,” she said.

A member of the state’s Higher Education Committee and a former South Whidbey School Board member, Smith said the state’s focus is filling gaps in the “unbelievable misalignment” between available jobs and the train-ing offered in K-12 schools. To her, it meant more techni-cal programs to fill the state’s production sector, one part of what she called a “three-legged stool,” along with technology and service sec-tors.

Her role on the education committee was related to her high-ranking role on the Technology and Economic Development Committee. She touted the creation of a training program for legisla-tors to better understand the energy sector — hydroelec-tric, wind, tidal — which, in turn, makes for better poli-cies and regulations, Smith said.

“If we don’t handle our energy policy wisely, our regulations wisely, guess who is in the crosshairs?” Smith asked. “Our produc-tion sector.”

The 63rd Legislature will convene for its regular ses-sion Jan. 13.

Smith’s focuses include education, regulation reform

For anyone wanting to learn more about Puget Sound, Beach Watchers is holding a one-day university with 65 classes.

Sound Waters, now in its 19th year, was started after the first Beach Watchers organization was formed. The program is a Washington State University Extension service which brings volun-teers together to educate the public about Puget Sound.

“I’m trying to do my bit to save the planet,” said Julie Ward, publicity chairwoman for Sound Waters.

About 550-to-600 people attend the event, said co-chairwoman Linda Ade Ridder.

Many people who are a part of Beach Watchers want to preserve what the area has, but also they want to do more than write a check, Ward said.

“There’s a lot of passion,” Ward said. “Sound Waters is put on by volunteers.”

Twenty volunteers make-up the core of the Sound Waters committee.

All of the volunteers are part of Beach Watchers, so they’ve completed 100 hours of program training, Ade Ridder said.

“It’s a great group to work with,” Ade Ridder said. “It makes being chair pretty easy.”

This year’s keynote speak-er is William Steele, a 20-year veteran of the University of

Washington Seismology Lab. Steele will talk about the

Cascadia Fault Zone, earth-quake hazards and efforts to build an effective early warn-ing system.

“If there was a 9.0 earth-quake off the coast, even here in the sound we would feel effects,” Ade Ridder said.

Steele’s keynote speech will commence the one-day university. Attendees can focus on any area they want, Ward said.

Classes range from basic fishing techniques, native cul-ture and traditions to ocean

acidification. There will be three sessions for class: a morning, early afternoon and mid-afternoon session.

About half of the classes are new this year. Sue Saleveson, program chairwoman, was in charge of locating speakers for the class.

To find new class top-ics, Salveson said she read through the news to find issues that affect the local marine environment. She then contacted the spokes-persons of the organizations to come speak at the event.

Experts have also

approached her about par-ticipating, and she’s received referrals.

“It’s mostly just people who have a great story to tell and are willing to give up a Saturday and speak to the public,” Salveson said.

Salveson joined Beach Watchers in 2012, so she’s a “newbie” compared to other volunteers.

“I really am excited about learning and giving the opportunity for other people to learn about our environ-ment,” Salveson said. “It’s energizing. We want to keep

getting information out there for people who want to learn about it.”

Because of all the new classes, there’s a lot of infor-mation people haven’t heard before, Salveson said.

Some of the new classes include, Bald Eagle ecology, snails, slugs and things in our gardens to landslide haz-ards — which is extremely relevant after the large slide at Ledgewood last year, Salveson said.

“We run the gamut of tech-nical scientific information and some of the more inter-esting information about the snails and slugs around us,” Salveson said.

The exhibits hall will be open all day long, Ade Ridder said. Puget Sound Energy and the American Red Cross will have booths set-up. People will be able to check out emergency kits and learn how to make a plan for their family during an earthquake.

“The goal is to help people better understand the place where we live, and how we can be better stewards,” Ade Ridder said.

Beach Watchers’ mission is to educate the public, Ade Ridder said.

The Sound Waters event is a large fundraiser for Beach

Watchers because many of the funds that were available to them in the past are no lon-ger there. Money raised will go to support the coordinator and keep programs going.

Online registration opened Jan. 4 and continue through Jan. 25. Online registration takes priority, Ward said. People can try to register the day of, but they’ll have to take their chances on what classes are left.

Class sizes are between 20-to-30 people. Everyone is able to attend the keynote speaker, Ward said.

The first time Ward attend-ed the event in 2011, the main topic was titled “Puget Sound: What’s In Our Water and Why Does It Matter?,” which was also known as “cinnamon and spice and things not so nice.”

“Everything we eat ends up out there,” Ward said. “Everything you do on land effects the water.”

Because of the popularity of the topic, it will be one of the returning classes this year.

“It’s neat to be around 500 people who care about our waters,” Ward said.

“It’s a buzz to have people who want to do something.”

a week in advance.Both Island County

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, who meet monthly with Whidbey Island Naval Air Station commanding officer Capt. Mike Nortier, issued letters in recent weeks encourag-ing the Navy to consider the health and safety of the residents.

Conard said Thursday that she’s encouraged by the con-versations local officials have had with the Navy and their willingness to work around community schedules and give residents advance notice.

“I’m not saying it’s going to make things easier for people,” Conard said. “But advance knowledge helps.”

Nortier said he plans to continue to be open to com-ments and suggestions of the community.

“We have built a solid working relationship with Mayor Conard and Commissioner Price Johnson,” Nortier said. “They present issues on behalf of their constituents, many of which we have found common ground on. I would characterize the dis-cussions as an open dialogue where concerns are seen in a holistic fashion.”

The meetings come in the wake of public criticism over the last year of the

Navy’s new EA-18G Growler, which is replacing the EA-6B Prowler.

“The biggest thing is they are different,” Conard said. “The Growler sounds differ-ent for a number of reasons.”

Conard said that the Navy’s mitigating measures are “only a small step” and she anticipates that there may be other ways the Navy can reduce the impact.

At a recent meeting, Nortier addressed concerns that jets are dumping fuel

while in flight.Nortier said that fuel is

only dumped in an emer-gency situation, and must be done by law at 8,000 feet or higher.

Liquid seen falling from aircraft is likely contrails, he said, a condensation of water vapor that accumulates around wings and exhaust systems.

In addition to local officials, Congressman Rick Larsen staffer Mike Schanche regularly attends

the meetings. Conard said that the offices of other state representatives are also kept up to date on local discus-sions.

“I believe we’re building a relationship that is starting to bear a little fruit,” Price Johnson said Thursday. “The community is well served when community leaders can come to the table and have a dialog.”

Price Johnson said that while she receives feedback from her constituents both

supporting and criticiz-ing the Navy, she sees the Navy’s commitment to keep touch-and-gos to the original 6,120 as a “positive step.”

In addition, Price Johnson said she would like to see the Navy review its flight patterns at OLF to see if changes could help reduce

the impact to residents on the ground.

“I’m sure there’s lots of things here I can learn about the Navy,” Price Johnson said. “And the Navy has learned a lot about the resi-dent experience. It raises the level of everyone’s under-standing.”

MEETINGCONTINUED FROM A1

A commanding officer of one of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station’s squadrons was fired Wednesday for inappro-priate racial comments and other misdeeds.

Former skipper of Electronic Attack Squadron 140 Cmdr. Joe Martinez was fired by Capt. Terry Morris, commander of Carrier Air Wing 7. According to a Navy press release, Morris relieved Martinez “due to loss of confidence in his abil-ity to command.”

The investigation found Martinez willfully ignored Navy instructions, knowingly submitted officer Fitness Reports containing inaccu-rate information, made inap-propriate racial comments, exercised undue influence on subordinates and made false or misleading statements, the Navy said.

Cmdr. Scott Hardy, who

previously commanded VAQ-136, has been named interim commanding officer.

The VAQ-140 “Patriots,” based at NAS Whidbey Island, are assigned to Norfolk-based CVW-7 aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Martinez is a naval flight officer who enlisted in the Navy in 1988 and complet-ed officer training followed by his graduation from the University of Oklahoma and commissioning in 1996. He completed flight training and was designated a NFO in 1998 and subsequently became an electronic coun-termeasures officer in the EA-6B Prowler.

VAQ-140 is in the pro-cess of transitioning from the EA-6B to the EA-18G Growler.

Martinez has commanded VAQ-140 since Nov. 2012 and now has been temporarily assigned to Electronic Attack Wing Pacific.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITORBoeing

Company is enjoying ‘corporate welfare’Editor,

This letter is in response to Scott Vanderlinden’s letter to the editor, posted Jan. 2, entitled “Viewing gov-ernment as a threat.”

In his letter, Mr. Vanderlinden contends that the Boeing Co. lost a $4 billion contract to Brazil based on spying by the National Security Agency.

No source was provided. Apparently, Mr. Vanderlinden for-

got or is unaware that governments at the state and federal levels have provided Boeing witsh tax breaks and rebates in excess of $10.5 billion.

In fact, though Boeing earned profits of more than $35 billion over the past decade, it saw a negative

income tax liability rate over the same time frame, thanks to taxpayer-sponsored corporate welfare.

However, he then states that the United States Senate’s approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, surrenders legislative power over trade to multi-national corpo-rations, thereby ostensibly allow-ing the market to self-regulate, and thereupon bases his claim that, “it’s little wonder that 72 percent (no source provided) of the American people view the federal government as a bigger threat to the future of the country than big business or big labor.”

Mr. Vanderlinden initially con-tends that government involvement is costing big business — and by extension, the country — work.

In the same breath, he derides the government’s surrender of control to big business via the TPP, thereby ostensibly placing the country at risk due to unfettered capitalism.

It is for those reasons that he

claims the majority of Americans feel government poses the biggest risk to our country.

Problem is, that makes his argu-ment self-contradicting in nature.

He cannot have it both ways. In his Boeing example, govern-

ment involvement in the market is derided. In his TPP example, gov-ernment allowing the market to self-regulate, i.e. smaller government, is derided.

Perhaps the biggest threat to this country isn’t the government or unregulated markets, but the unten-able nature of ambivalence.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a civil servant.

That said, I would cry all the way to the bank if the government took $4 billion from one of my hands while placing $10.5 billion in the other.

I would then buy the bank.Oops. Time for my 15-minute

It’s no secret that many people in Island County, particu-larly those with a more conservative bent, are skeptical about the fare-free bus service provided by Island Transit.

Some people see tax dollars being wasted to transport a handful of malefactors up and down the island. The same people are dubious about the new Island Transit facility on State Highway 20, which has been described as needlessly palatial digs.

While such characterizations are unfair, Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose must certainly be aware that the perception is out there. Which is why she must make a great effort to show the community that she’s accountable for every penny from taxpayers spent and that the transit operation is as efficient as possible.

So it’s very disappointing that the state Auditor’s Office issued a finding against Island Transit for the second time. The Accountability Audit Report issued Dec. 30 states that transit officials “did not adequately monitor take home vehicles and fuel card use to ensure they are only used for official purposes.”

Certain transit employees are allowed to drive vehicles home so they can respond to emergencies and service needs at all hours. They were supposed report mileage on a weekly basis, but the auditors found that only 11 of the 12 home vehicles tested didn’t report mileage every week.

Employees with assigned vehicles didn’t document where they were driving the vehicle and for what purpose, the auditors reported. The issue was essentially the same finding auditors reported in 2011.

Rose claimed she was surprised by the recent finding and said changes suggested by auditors had already been implemented.

The fact that she was caught off guard is as troubling as the findings themselves. Findings identified in accountabil-ity audits can breed distrust in public agencies.

And what about the board of directors for the Island County Public Transportation Benefit Area? The board is made up of elected officials from the county and the three municipalities on the island. They should also be held accountable for the findings.

Rose has created a transit system that is, in many ways, a model for other agencies. She has shown that fare-free tran-sit is actually more efficient and cost-effective than dealing with the complications of a system in which drivers have to collect loose change from riders.

Going forward, Rose and the board of directors need to ensure that the operation is air tight from an auditor’s perspective. And a little public relations might help. Many people in the community don’t fully understand what Island Transit does or what it is. There’s a common misconcep-tion that it’s part of county government, when it’s an agency onto itself.

Island Transit is planning an open house at the new facil-ity in May. We encourage the community to attend.

Thomas Henry Asmus

Thomas Henry Asmus, age 71, was called home to the Lord on Dec. 28, 2013, surrounded by his family. He was born Sept. 11, 1942, in Wyandotte, Mich., to Henry and Ruth Asmus. He was raised in Wyandotte, graduat-ing from high school in 1960. Following graduation, Tom enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age 17 and began a 30-year military career.

Tom was sent to Beeville, Texas and on to Memphis.

His first duty station was Naval Air Station Whidbey. On his time off, Tom vis-ited Cranberry Lake, where he met a young, single life guard, Sherry Halbert. Romance blossomed, and one year later, Tom and Sherry were married.

Tom was transferred to Corpus Christi. Tom took advantage of the GI Bill and began flying lessons. He received his private pilot’s

OBITUARIES

Asmus

license and instrument rat-ing, as well as his instrument and flight instructor rating. Flying became Tom’s pas-sion.

After a brief transition to Indianola, Miss., Tom was assigned to the USS Inchon, where he was selected as Sailor of the Year. Tom went on the NAS Kingsville, Texas, and in 1977, returned to NAS Whidbey, which become home for the Asmus family. Tom had completed tours in Vietnam and was selected as a limited duty officer.

This would have meant a move to the East Coast and uprooting his family, which he did not wish to do, so he turned down the commis-sion. Tom retired in 1991 as an aviation technician com-mand master chief (E-9). Tom was not one to sit idly in retirement, so he soon began work for Alaska USA Credit Union, working in telephone services and then property management.

Tom then accepted the one job he dreamed of, working for Seattle Pacific University, first as property manager and then as manager of the conference center at Camp Casey, a position he held until his eventual retirement.

Tom was a longtime member of the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, serv-ing as treasurer of the Wealth and Endowment Stewardship Committee.

He was former president of the NAS Whidbey Flying Club. He loved outdoor activi-

ties, including boating, water skiing, hunting and fishing, gardening and working as a silversmith. Tom’s greatest love was his family.

Tom is survived by his wife Sherry at the family home; by his mother Ruth Asmus of Oak Harbor and by five children and their spouses: Dana Chambers (Richard) of Gig Harbor; Tanya Asmus of Mercer Island; Eric Asmus of Seattle; Susan Mays (Adrian) of Seattle and Chad Asmus (Kristen) of Charlotte, N.C.. Eight grandchildren also survive: Ashleigh Curdy (Bryant) of Pensacola, Fla.; Kaitlin Chambers-Mills (Joshua) of Beale AFB; Nicholas Chambers and Madeline Chambers of Gig Harbor; Isabella, Fletcher and Sophia Stribling of Mercer Island; and Indigo Mays of Seattle. One sister, Judy Western (Phillip) of Port Charlotte, Fla., also sur-vives.

OBITUARIES

Betsy Lue Summers

Betsy Summers of Coupeville died peacefully with her husband and chil-dren at her side on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013, four days shy of her 62nd wedding anni-versary with her kind and caring husband, F.L. (Von) Summers.

Devoted to her family, Betsy’s favorite times were in the company of her extended family, and the more at once, the merrier. She was a master story-teller and would read, with distinct character voic-es, classic children’s stories to three young generations: her children, her grandchil-dren, and, most recently, her great-grandchildren. Literature, the love of words and story-telling would be a hallmark of her life.

Betsy Lue Holmes was born on Aug. 22, 1929, in Wheaton, Ill., to parents Harold and Evelyn Holmes. She was the youngest of three daughters. Raised in a home full of books, Betsy would graduate from Colorado College in 1951 with a degree in English lit-erature with plans to become a teacher.

Those plans were put on hold when she visited the home of her aunt and uncle in Portland during spring break of her senior year. There she met a young lieutenant in the Air Force and (in what is described by her children as a whirlwind romance) fell in love with her future husband Von after one short week.

As their romance devel-oped through letters, plans for Betsy to join Von (who was stationed in England) concluded when she trav-eled by ship to London the

Summers

next fall to be married in December of 1951.

After their first son Ross was born in England, they decided to move back to the states to raise a fam-ily. Settling in California long enough to have their first daughter Joel, they returned to Portland and had two more children, Von and Robyn.

While her husband attend-ed to work, Betsy attended to raising the children with great distinction. She was a kind, caring and loving moth-er who ruled the roost with a calm but firm demeanor.

Sensing that TV had an unwanted influence in her children’s development, she chose not to repair the fam-ily TV when a tube burnt out and decided that nightly stories read to all four chil-dren would be the backbone of family entertainment. As the children grew, she would have them select their favor-ite books for her to read. She instilled a love of theater, music and literature in all of her children.

With her children in col-lege, Betsy decided to pur-sue her love of story tell-ing by earning a master’s degree in values from the San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1985. Her the-sis was “The Use of Stories and Story Telling in the Pediatric Hospital Setting.” She put that experience to work by telling stories to young patients at Portland’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and the Shriners Hospital for Children.

With their children settled with families of their own, Betsy and Von decided to move to Whidbey Island for their retirement, making their new home a gathering place for family and friends. She also made the island her home. A woman of strong faith, she became an active member of the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, became a counselor with the Stephen Ministries and served as the President of the Whidbey Island General Hospital Foundation.

Betsy will be deeply missed by those she loved.

She is survived by her hus-band Francis Lavon (Von); her children Ross (Colleen) Summers, Joel (Greg) Rasmussen, Von (Barbara) Summers and Robyn (Geoff) Biglow; 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

A memorial service to cel-ebrate Betsy’s life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church in Oak Harbor.

Eileen M. Severns passed away with her family by her side on Dec. 28, 2013. She will be deeply missed by her son Bob Severns, sister Elizabeth Plant and many family mem-bers and wonderful friends who were there until the end.

Eileen was born Aug. 5, 1921. She met and married Tom, the love of her life, who preceded her in death as did their daughter Janet at the age of 15.

Eileen believed in the efforts of hard work, and she retired as a claims adjuster for Safeco Insurance Company while also raising her family and working the small family farm.

She enjoyed the Oak Harbor Senior Center where she participated in wood carving and pinochle on a regular basis. She was an avid fan of the Mariners and Seahawks.

A private family service and life celebration will be held to join Eileen’s remains with her husband and daugh-ter.

Virginia (Crewes) Schaub

Loving mother and grandmother Virginia Ann (Crewes) Schaub passed away suddenly at home in Oak Harbor on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, from heart failure.

She was born Virginia Ann Sutherland in Ettersburg, Calif., on Jan. 13, 1925, the youngest of nine children of Dora and Robert Sutherland.

Her parents operated a shake mill in the Redwoods of Northern California, and Virginia graduated from high school in Rio Dell, and then moved to San Francisco dur-ing World War II to work as a telephone operator.

She met Jim Crewes at a USO dance there and they were married soon after, just prior to Jim, a Navy CPO, being sent back out to war.

Together they raised four daughters throughout being stationed at Seattle; Honolulu, Hawaii; Alameda, Calif.; and Oak Harbor.

Virginia was a long-time member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and the North Whidbey Riding Club, spending many hours help-ing at the North Whidbey Stampede, helping her hus-band with his business, Jim’s Garage, and being a devoted mother to four daughters, all of whom graduated from Oak Harbor High School.

Schaub

In 1970, the winning Whidbey News-Times’ Mother’s Day letter contest for “My Mom is the Greatest” was penned by youngest daughter Bonnie in honor of her mother, then Virginia Crewes, which noted her vitality, her smile and her love of life.

That same year, the Seattle Times included their newly finished log home on Swantown Road in a Sunday pictorial spread, of which Virginia was very proud.

Virginia worked at the Whidbey Naval Air Station as a civil servant until her retire-ment in 1982.

After Virginia and Jim divorced, Virginia mar-ried Bob Schaub, a retired Navy Commander. They spent many years travel-ing and boating around the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and overseas,until ill health prevented Bob from further travel. Virginia learned how to scuba dive after retiring and loved to dive in Baja and Florida.

Although dementia had dimmed her memory over the past few years, she was able to spend her last weeks of life visiting her beloved daughters and their fami-lies in both Oregon and Washington, and watching the Space Needle fireworks display on TV with her daugh-ter Jamie, who cared for her along with granddaughter Tia Casimire in Oak Harbor.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, all eight siblings: brothers Robert, Ben and Ray, and sisters Helen, Dorothy, Florence, Frances and Barbara; her daughter Nance Dawn Jordan; and, recently, her husband Bob Schaub.

She is survived by her daughters Joyce (Hal) Pawson of Portland, Ore., Jamie (Gary) Boyer of Oak Harbor and Bonnie (Peter) Rice of Maple Valley, Wash.; nine grandchildren; and

20 great-grandchildren, as well as step-daughter Sandy Maurinas and her family in New York State.

A combined burial service for Virginia and Bob Schaub will be performed at the Tahoma National Cemetery in Covington, Wash., at a later date. Family and friends are encouraged to share memo-ries and condolences in the Book of Memories hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www.wallinfuneralhome.com

Marie Paule Combettes died Jan. 4, 2014, at Careage of Whidbey at the age of 91.

She was born Nov. 13, 1922, in Bayonne, France, to Alexander and Clemence Pinsolle. She was married to renowned chef Jean Paul Combettes in Montpellier, France, on March 4, 1948.

The first daughter, Muriel, was born with a critical heart condition, which the French doctors were unable to care for, so Jean Paul sold every-thing and brought his family to the United States and the Cleveland Clinic. Two years and two heart surgeries later, Muriel was on the road to recovery.

In 1954, the family moved to San Francisco, where Jean Paul served as a chef at the Saint Francis Hotel.

Marie was a stay-at-home mother, caring for her family. In 1960, the family took up residence in Reno, Nev. In 1976, the family arrived in Oak Harbor, where Jean Paul served as chef for Kasteel Franssen. Jean Paul died in 2007. With failing health, Marie moved to Careage of Whidbey.

Marie is survived by three children, Muriel O’Brien of Tacoma, Audrey Combettes of Mount Vernon and John Combettes of Cape Coral, Fla.; and by two siblings, Simone Pinsolle of Bayonne, France, and Jean Pinsolle of Marson, France.

Funeral Mass for Marie Combettes was celebrated at St. Augustine Catholic Church, Oak Harbor, with Rev. Paul Pluth, JCL as Celebrant on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014. Rites of Committal followed at Maple Leaf Cemetery with a reception in the Parish Hall.

GAME OF THE WEEK The Coupeville boys (1 p.m.) and girls (3 p.m.) bas-ketball teams play at home Saturday, Jan. 11.

SPORTSWHIDBEY

By JIM WALLERSports editor

It took some extra time, but the Oak Harbor boys basketball team won its second consecutive game by nipping visiting Marysville Getchell 55-49 in overtime Tuesday, Jan. 7.

The first part of overtime was all Oak Harbor. Drew Washington snagged the tip and raced to the hoop for two points. Zach Gibbs then scored off an offensive rebound. After Getchell converted two free throws, Washington scored twice more and the ‘Cats led 49-43 to wrestle control.

In all, Washington scored 11 of Oak Harbor’s 14 points in overtime and finished with a team-high 22 points.

Early in the game, Oak Harbor went up 19-10 after hitting five con-secutive three-pointers, two by Elijah Smith and three by Washington. The Chargers steadily came back, eventu-ally taking a 29-25 lead in the third quarter.

The lead switched hands several times in the fourth quarter, and the Wildcats had the last possession in regulation but couldn’t convert.

Oak Harbor has now won two straight after dropping the first eight games. In both wins, the Wildcats controlled the boards, this time out-rebounding Marysville Getchell 48-34 and allowing only nine offensive rebounds.

Washington and Groenig scooped up 12 rebounds each, Gibbs had eight and Harris seven.

Washington also had five assists, three blocks and two steals.

Gibbs had 13 points, Harris eight, Groenig six and Smith six.

Both teams were content with fir-ing from long range. They combined to shoot 111 shots, and nearly half, 55, were from beyond the arc. Oak Harbor hit seven of 27 three-pointers, 25.9 percent; and Getchell was 7-for-28, 25 percent.

Overall, Oak Harbor shot 32.7 per-cent (17-for-52) and Getchell 35.6 per-cent (21-for-59).

Coach Mike Washington acknowl-edged the play was sloppy at times but “a win is a win.”

He said, with a lack of depth, his players get tired, which leads to phys-ical and mental mistakes.

“It was one of those weird games,” Washington said. “We couldn’t really get into our offense and sets because it was a transition game.”

Oak Harbor (2-2, 2-8) travels to Shorewood (3-1, 8-3) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14.

Wildcat boys win overtime thriller

The look of the Western Conference, Oak Harbor High School’s athletic league, will change next school year.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association announced the new school enrollments this week, and three Wesco schools will drop from 4A to 3A with the new counts.

The Cascade Conference, Coupeville’s league, will remain the same, though Sultan will shift from 2A to 1A.

The WIAA collects enrollments every two years and adjustments are made among its member schools and leagues based upon those numbers. The largest 64 schools are placed into 4A, the next 64 are 3A and so forth through the six classifications.

Schools can choose to go up one classification. For every school that opts up, one is pushed down to keep the divisions the same size.

Wesco’s Arlington, Edmonds-Woodway and Lynnwood will move from 4A to 3A next fall. The remaining eight 4A schools will form one division.

The 13 3A schools will be divided into two divi-sions.

Those divisions have not been announced, but most likely Oak Harbor, Stanwood, Arlington, Everett, Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell will form the Wesco 3A North.

Marysville Getchell will be the largest 3A school in the state with 1,252 stu-dents. Oak Harbor is 14th with 1,165 students.

The eight-team Cascade Conference will have four 2A schools, Cedarcrest (691 students), Lakewood (554), Granite Falls (491) and Archbishop Murphy (369, opt up). The 1A schools include Coupeville (225), Sultan (428), South Whidbey (398) and King’s (368).

Coupeville is the small-est 1A school in the state, one student away from being 2B.

Leagues realign for ’13-’14

Sultan sinks CHSThe Coupeville High

School girls basketball team played a good first half, but Sultan played an even better second half to escape with a 40-37 win over the visiting Wolves Tuesday, Jan. 7

After holding the Turks to only eight first-half points and leading 20-8 after two quarters, Coupeville crumbled under Sultan’s second-half pressure. Sultan outscored the Wolves 14-4 in the third quarter, taking the lead for a moment be-fore Coupeville recovered to go up 24-22 heading into the final period.

In the final seconds, the Wolves were able to put up three three-point shots, but all were near misses and the Turks escaped with the comeback win.

Amanda Fabrizi tallied 11 points, Maddi Strasburg nine, Bree Messner six, Makana Stone six, Julia Myers three and Hailey Hammer two.

Wolves fall short Withstanding a 32-point

fourth quarter by the Coupeville High School boys basketball team, Sultan defeated the host Wolves 91-80 Tuesday, Jan. 7.

The win helped the Turks (3-1, 6-2) remain in a first-place tie with Ce-darcrest atop the Cascade Conference standings. Six times this season Sultan has scored at least 70 points.

Coupeville trailed by 30 points heading into the fourth quarter but wasn’t about the give in. Led by 16 points by Nick Streubel, the Wolves didn’t allow the Turks to coast through the final period.

The game was spirited and chippy, and each team picked up a technical foul along the way.

Streubel ended with 18 points, Wiley Hesselgrave 16, Anthony Bergeron 14, Joel Walstad 11, Gavin O’Keefe nine, Morgan Payne seven and Aaron Trumbull five.

SPORTS IN BRIEF

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

When Tiffany Andrukat was 10 or 11, she remem-bers watching her older sister perform in a choir concert at Oak Harbor High School at a time before the school’s major remodel.

She remembers sitting at a table in the old Parker Hall and the sweet feeling she got when Jessica Andrukat, her sister, approached.

“My sister got to serve me cheesecake,” Tiffany said. “It was real hands-on. It was very personal. It had an impres-sion on me joining choir.”

It is that sort of intimate experience that Darren McCoy is hoping to recapture when the high school’s Cupid Song concert is performed at a new venue next month.

McCoy, the high school’s choral director, is moving the annual Valentine’s celebra-tion and choir club fundrais-er from the Student Union Building to the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge and changing a couple of other details in hopes to restore the event to its past popularity.

McCoy said the Student Union Building is great for stage performances, howev-er, Cupid Song is both con-cert and dessert, with choir students serving food as well as musical notes.

“This concert used to be a big deal in the community,” McCoy said.

Cupid Song will be per-formed on consecutive nights, Feb. 21-22, both starting at 6:30 p.m. The Elks Lodge is located at 155 N.E. Ernst St.,

win Oak Harbor.McCoy said in past years,

the event was so anticipated that people would begin ask-ing about tickets in November for fear it would sell out.

So he wanted to find a smaller venue, where audi-

ences could sit at tables, to rekindle the more intimate experience the unique event once was.

The concerts will be performed by about 100 of Oak Harbor High School’s advanced choir students and will raise money for the school’s choir club.

Tickets are $15 and can be ordered by sending an email to oakharborchoirs@gmail.com, or by calling 360-279-5829.

Among those singing will be Tiffany Andrukat, now 17, a senior and choir club presi-dent at the high school.

“It’s kind of a good memo-ry,” she said of the event.

Each night, Cupid Song will be performed in two acts with choir students serving cheesecake during the inter-mission. In addition to des-sert, hors d’oeurves will be served. Food will be catered by the Elks, McCoy said.

“We’re hoping to pack the house,” McCoy said. “The last couple of years, atten-dance has been pretty good. We’ve sold at least 150 tickets,

usually each night. “By moving it to the Elks

Lodge, we can get back to the original feeling of sit down, enjoy some food and watch a show. It will be the first time in about six years that we’ve had that ability.”

The change doesn’t come without hurdles. For one, a piano must be transported.

“We have a lot of guys,” Andrukat said.

Savannah Wilson, vice president of the school’s choir club, said McCoy does most of the heavy lifting with the program.

“I can’t imagine even attempting to do all the hard work he does,” she said. “He puts his heart and soul into his job.”

Oak Harbor’s choir stu-dents have a reputation for excellence at the high school. Last March, two of the high school’s premier choral groups, the Harbor Singers and Treble Choir, earned the highest ratings possible at a district choral festival in Bellingham.

A boys choir also was

started last year and there are more boys in choir this year than ever before, McCoy said.

Last year, choir students also took a trip to DisneyLand and performed more for stu-dents at lunch and during assemblies, on top of tradi-tional concerts.

“Last year’s success made people feel that choir is cool,” sophomore Katie Lof said.

pated last year.The rally next week will

William ‘Skip’ Augle

William Joseph “Skip” Augle, age 67, died suddenly at his home in Oak Harbor on Jan. 1, 2014.

Skip was born June 6, 1946 in Chicago, Ill. to William and Mary Augle. He grew up in Honey Creek, Wis., attend-ing elementary school and completing high school in Burlington, Wis.

During the summer months, he worked on many of the area farms. Following graduation from high school, Skip enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving more than 30 years and retiring as a master chief avionics technician (E-9).

The Navy sent him to Great Lakes Training Center and then school at Pensacola and Memphis.

In 1967, he arrived at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. He returned to B School in Memphis in 1970 and 1971. Then it was back to Whidbey, where he spent the next 21 years. Skip retired on Oct. 1, 1995.

Following retirement, Skip went to work for the Oak Harbor School District

OBITUARYas a maintenance worker and then began work as a Security Officer at the Texaco Refinery in Anacortes, a posi-tion he held until retirement in June of 2013.

Skip had a passion for playing golf. He also enjoyed working in his yard, caring for his two cats and feeding the wild birds.

The most important thing in Skip’s life was his wife Colleen. He loved spending time with her, taking week-end trips and going to the movies. His heart was bro-ken when Colleen died, also on Jan. 1, two years ago.

Skip is survived by two sisters, Sharon Augle and Roberta Augle, both of Honey Creek, Wis. and by two brothers, Pat Augle of Elkhorn, Wis. and Michael Augle and wife Sherry of Clairmont, Fla.

He was preceded in death by one sister Terry Bobula.

Funeral services for William Augle were held on Friday, Jan. 10 at the Bible Baptist Church, Oak Harbor with Pastor Robert Sargent officiating.

Graveside services followed at Maple Leaf Cemetery with Pastor Tim Geist officiating. Full mili-tary honors were provided by the NAS Whidbey Island Honor Guard.

Friends and family are encouraged to share memo-ries and condolences utiliz-ing the Book of Memories hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www.wallinfuneral home.com

ing over our homes, schools, and hospital, we’ll be ready to take complaint calls,” said Michael Monson, president of COER.

“Callers can talk to real people starting on Thursday, Jan. 9 and not a recorded voice. We expect complaints from all of Whidbey Island and beyond.”

The Navy created a new complaint line and online

complaint form last year in response to community con-cerns about noise.

Monson said the COER hotline is needed because “many people do not trust the Navy to keep track of complaints or to treat them seriously.”

It is COER’s intention to keep track of the complaints it receives and forward them to the Navy, according to a

COER news release. COER also plans to analyze the com-plaints and use them to sup-port the closure of the OLF and transfer of the EA-18 Growlers, which perform the touch-and-gos at OLF, to another base.

“Aircraft noise, in particu-lar low-altitude over-flights, is a public health issue that must be addressed to reduce the negative health outcomes of community members. COER looks for-ward to assisting people who are being harmed by unsafe noise levels in the coming weeks, by listening and recording their comments,”

said Monson.“Requests for anonymity

will be respected.”In an emailed statement,

the Navy said that it takes the obligation to communi-cate with the public very seri-ously. Not only does the Navy attempt to respond to con-cerns, but it hopes to impart “an understanding of opera-tions that do impact them as a result of training and opera-tions that occur on the base.”

“We will contact folks who provide us feedback. We have incorporated new processes, improved others, and taken steps to inform the public about our operations. We also

work with elected leadership from the communities to dis-cuss concerns and look for mutually beneficial mitiga-tions.”

In reference to COER’s new hotline, the Navy said that base personnel will con-tinue to “respond to citizens that contact us directly, how-ever we will not communi-cate through other groups to provide feedback to citizens.”

“We encourage people to continue using the pro-cesses we have established. Every comment is viewed by several different officials in the command, and we com-municate with members of

the public on a daily basis. It’s important for everyone to understand that while we take their concerns seriously and understand the impacts our operations may have on them, we will tell them what we can.”

COER claims to have more than 3,000 support-ers. The Sierra Club and the National Parks Conservation Association recently joined COER in opposing Growler training flights at OLF Coupeville.

COER’s toll free complaint hotline number is 800-830-4078. Monson said it will be staffed 24 hours a day.

ported honest man he is, we should see a retraction of his statements and a correction on his website any moment now,” Mosolino posted on the Whidbey News-Times website.

Monson calls Mosolino’s statement as a personal attack, and criticized him for releasing private infor-mation. Monson asked that Mosolino’s post be removed from the News-Times website.

“This is what Windermere thinks of your privacy,” Monson said.

On Jan. 3, however, Monson forwarded to the News-Times a Dec. 26 email correspondence from

another Windermere Real Estate representative inform-ing Monson that a “signed around” copy of Form 22W in his real estate purchase agreement was attached and sent to him for his review.

“I only included the noise disclosure, so if you would like a copy of the entire file, please let me know,” the rep-resentative said in his email to Monson.

On Dec. 26, Monson replied to the Windermere representative, “I appreciate your prompt reply. Hope you aren’t allergic to the dust that I’m sure was on the file!”

Monson subsequently

declined to provide the news-paper with a copy of the ini-tialed Form 22W, saying in an email, “Why would I send you a worthless form?”

Monson has maintained that he didn’t receive proper disclosure as to the level of jet noise he would experience at his home.

Last month, Island County issued a memo concluding that two noise disclosures currently exist in county code to be used for different purposes.

One disclosure is found in the county’s building code and another in the “Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise

Disclosure Ordinance,” the latter to be used for real estate transactions.

Currently, local real estate agents give prospective home buyers a version of the shorter building code disclo-sure issued by the MLA, and does not include the outlined language of the “Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance.”

“It appears the copy of form 22W provided to this office does not contain both required disclosure state-ments, nor cites applicable county code,” the county memo stated.

For that reason, Monson

is maintaining that he never received proper disclosure, calling form 22W a “fraudu-lent non-disclosure state-ment.”

In response to citizen complaints about noise dis-closure, the Whidbey Island Association of Realtors announced last week plans it will update Form 22W to include language from both of the county’s noise disclo-sure statements.

While this may be good news for future homebuy-ers, Monson said he doesn’t believe it helps those who have been buying homes over the past 20 years.

A lawsuit against Windermere is “an option to be considered,” he said.

“How are they going to make us whole again?” Monson asked.

Asked why the noise dis-closure issue is coming to the forefront now, COER mem-ber Maryon Attwood said that the action “speaks to the noise of the Growler.”

This past year, the Navy began the transition from the the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler, an aircraft some citizens claim is louder, but that the Navy maintains it simply runs at a different frequency.
